Staff Director, Marc Mueller, was recognized and commended on his work
with the Youth Commission.
This hearing was continued pending further deliberations. Council Member
Lauber advised that she along with the Assistant City Manager met with
the Director of HOY and the findings had been incorporated in a compre-
hensive'written report which Council has received. It was stated that
HOY has agreed to all the conditions set forth in the report. In
response to a question the City Manager stated that HOY has agreed to
submit quarterly reports no later than the 15th day of the close of the
quarter. The City will make quarterly payments to ROY upon receipt of
the reports. Payments would not. be made unless and until the report is
received.
Considerable discussion was then held with the Director of HOY,
Norlin, concerning the need for suitable and adequate housing.
Norlin detailed efforts in this regard.

statements summarized as follows:
Mayor Saelid commented in part that he had previously felt that there
are other organizations equally entitled to City funding from which the
City has never received a request for support; that after reading the
background material contained in the report it indicates a much higher
degree of activity than he had credited HOY with. However he is still
concerned that the focus seems to be "what the City can do to help HOY"
rather than what it can do to help the youth. Obviously HOY cannot
satisfy all the needs under its present structure and that is one
reason he felt that through Juvenile Diversion referrals this could be
accomplished. He-was pleased to see that the City will henceforth
receive quarterly reports but it is conceivable that reports could
indicate "no service rende,red" and HOY would still receive the City
support.
Councilman Margett observed in part that it is his understanding, as 1
Councilman Gilb had remarked earlier, that ROY is a preventative
program... its degree of success is difficult to measure. Re commended
HOY on its'willingness to be open about its activities and he looked
forward to the day when HOY would be self-sufficient'which he felt
HOY desired just as much.
Councilman Parry agreed that HOY is doing a good job'and he was
'impressed with the background material and the report submitted by HOY,
but he would rather go through Juvenile Diversion'which he is planning
to support. That he, assumes that at least 50% of any money appropriated
for Juvenile Diversion will go to ROY. He felt the Diversion Project
offers more administrative control and Council has more direct control.
He then MOVED to AMEND the primary motion to provide $7,500 for HOY.
(This motion died for lack of a second.)
Mayor Saelid observed in part that he could not, support the amendment
as he is looking for some controls feature. Re then called for the roll
call vote on the primary motion.

(MOTION)
Councilman Parry then MOVED to continue the support of the Juvenile
Diversion Project for another year in the amount of $22,000. Councilman
Margett seconded the motion. C. Parry noted that 'a cer~ain percentage 'would
be for administrative costs and the rest for actual treatment controlled
by the Board of Directors. That the City receives reports indicating
the number of persons treated and data as to the referral agency such
as HOY. The $22,000 represents 11% of the actual total budget. Roll
call vote as then taken on the motion.

~ BUDGET
(June 27)
Deliberations continued on the Budget for 1977-78.
It had been noted that the Chamber of, Commerce appropriation was not in
the same amount as last year although the Chamber had requested the
same $39,970. Lyle Cunningham, 475 Oxford Drive, member of the Chamber
Executive Board, submitted that the Chamber will have to increase its
dues from the business men in order to balance its budget for next
year and asked that the same amount as last year be approved.
Discussion on the functions performed by the Chamber. Mr. Cunningham
will carry back to the Chamber the desire of Council to have the

specific promotional activities of the Chamber identified in its budget.
It was the consensus of Council ,that $39,970 be budgeted for the
Chamber in 1977-78.
Council turned its attention to the Water Department budget and the
forthcoming rate increase. The Water Manager answered questions on
water consumption and what effect the rate increase would have.....
based on the 6~ increase and a 10 percent reduction in water
consumption it would amount to about an 8 percent reduction in water
sales.
1
Council Member Lauber then read in full a communication from
Joseph F. Vokoun, 1201 Oaklawn Road, protesting the rate.increase.
He suggested that a study be made to quantify the costs before the
rate increase is put into effect. This communication will go to the
Water Manager for response.
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, referred to the water increase and
suggested that Council look into the possibility of having the County
facilities'within the City go elsewhere for the water it uses. He
felt this could be easily done because the system is going to be
hooked into the Metropolitan Water District shortly.
LeRoy Speirs, 312 Palm Drive, spoke at length on the matter of
water, not specifically rates, but he said perhaps his remarks would
have some influence relative to the rate structure. He noted the
background material he had gathered from many reliable sources
indicated there is not a water shortage in southern California now
or in the foreseeable future. He could not understand the action of
Council in enacting an ordinance to protect the water rights when
there isn't a problem. He agreed that water should be conserved but
the City should not adopt an ordinance' which ultimately becomes a
revenue producing ordinance. He evidenced charts showing levels of
water from 1933 to 1976 taken from reports compiled by the San Gabriel
Basin Water Master which are a matter of public record and available
to everyone. He asked Council not to adopt the subject ordinance..
that if revenue must be increased he suggested raising the property
tax rate from which he could obtain a tax break but when the water
rates increase he receives. no benefit taxwise.
The Water Manager observed in part that he had been advised by the
Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District that water will
not be available from the Metropolitan Water District for recharging
ground water basins and unless rainfall returns to normal there will
not be any replenishing water available... As to the water conservation
ordinance two water districts have written the department asking for
consideration of such an ordinance. It was noted that this ordinance
if adopted is one which phases in various controls as Council sees
fit due to the crisis at that time... that if a crisis does not occur
of course ~t will not go into effect.

Mayor Saelid advised a person in the audience that a communication
concerning sidewalk installation will be turned over to the Director
of Public Works.
Council will continue its deliberation on the City Budget o~ June 27.

P'.
HEARING
(MODIFICATION)
APPROVED
22: 9245 c
Appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the request
of Ed Simpkins, Jr., for a text amendment to the Arcadia Municipal Code
w[lich would chat;lge the definition of !'Automobile Car Wash" to permit
self-service coin operated car washes. Pro and con reasons for this
action were set forth in a report dated June 21. The Planning staff
had recommended approval of the request as it believed the conditional
use permit process would allow review of all such applications and
place restrictions for proper development and maintenance.
Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and the applicant, Ed Simpkins,
Jr., 6361 Sherry Lane, Long Beach, stated in part that there is a need
for this type of facility which would entail an investment of between
sixty and eighty thousand dollars for the construction of four bays
plus the land. He explained statistics he had gained from contacting
other cities which reflected no problems encountered.
1
Ed Simpkins, Sr., spoke to the matter and felt that with the conditional
use permit process controls could be set and that the noise should not
be a factor as the proposed location adjoins the rug cleaning establish-
ment and is in a commercial zone with the closest apartment house about
300' away.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Gilb, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unani-
mously. Council Members Gilb, Lauber and Margett felt there is a
need for a facility of this nature and were inclined to agree with the
recommendation of the Planning Department. They had no objections.
However, Councilman Margett expressed concern for the appearance of the
facility once it is constructed..that there are ways to make them
attractive. Councilman Parry felt it would not be in the best interest
of the city to permit unattended car washes as there are potential
problems which could develop including the possibility of vandalism.
Mayor Saelid said he felt the facility could be attractively constructed
however he too felt it would not be in the best interest of the City
and referred to the recommendation of the Police Department for denial
of the application. He supported the Planning Commission.
It was then MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Margett
and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council approve and file
the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a
significant effect on the environment and that the decision of the
Planning Commission be reversed and that the appeal be GRANTED.

Appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission in denying a
request for certain modifications in connection with a proposed R-3
development at 511 E. Live Oak Avenue. The requests were for 1) 18
units in lieu of the 17.7 allowed and 2) building length of 217 feet
in lieu of 165 feet maximum allowed by Code. The majority of the
Commissioners felt the density bonus would allow a too dense develop-
ment and the building length requirement was also intended to act as a
density control. The others on the Commission felt the project was
well designed and would be an improvement in the area. The applicant,
Ralph J. Harris, has subsequently indicated a willingness to reduce the
project to 17 units however this would not alter the general configu-
ration of the building on the site.
1
Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open ani the architect for the de-
velopment, John Cotton, 9601 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, exhibited
drawings of the proposed condominium and advised in part that it is now
planned to construct underground parking for 34 cars plus 3 spaces for
guests on the ground floor level landscaped for appearance. Areas for
patios, pool and landscaping were indicated. It was noted that an
apartment complex to the west is 254 feet in length and the one to the

north is 280 feet in length however both were constructed prior to the
restriction on length. Ralph Harris, 124 S. Oakhurst Drive, Beverly
Hills, noted that this matter has been on-going since last October and
said he would appreciate anything Council could do to shorten the time
element.
1
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Margett, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unani-
mously. In its deliberations Council noted the reduction in units from
18 to 17,' The appearance of the length of the building has been
relieved by architectural features and parking is now planned for
underground which would provide additional 'open space' which has long
been desired by Council. It was then MOVED by Council Member Lauber,
seconded by Councilman Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows
that the Planning Commission's recommendation be reversed and that the
appeal be granted.

and not more than five times each month with only one scheduled for

John Joseph, 408 N. First Avenue, commented that the State Legislature

that should this bill pass the City could very well refund any over-
charge.

problem of the center divider in Santa Anita Avenue and suggested that
the. City devise some means for more economical maintenance methods.
Council received the request of the G & S Towing Service for a reduction
in its liability insurance requirement of $1,000,000 to $500,000 or
increase the towing rates to cover the cost of the additional expense
in obtaining the required coverage. It was noted that this was known
at the time the Agreement was signed and that the insurance carrier for
G & S had apparently given assurance that the' required amount could be
obtained. The insurance situation has changed greatly and it would noW
cost G & S about $5000 annually to carry the, requested amount.
Glen Revere, associated with G & S, stated in part that initially they 1
had an insurance carrier who said he could supply the insurance but
chat subsequently the insurance company had ceased insuring the towing
business; that they have been endeavoring since that time to obtain the
$1,000,000 coverage.
LeRoy Speirs, in response to an inquiry, said in part that premiums are
based on exposure and that claims and judgments have been in such
horrendous amounts that the insurance companies cannot survive. He
would doubt G & S can obtain the required coverage unless they go
chrough some company like Lloyds.... that there is no solution except
co pay the large premium.
During the ensuing discussion Council expressed concern that the City
could suffer if G & S did not carry adequate coverage and that perhaps
the towing rates should be increased. It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb,
seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unanimously that the
matter be tabled for two weeks and that during the interim staff meet
with G & S and return to Council with an outline, of just what position
Council is in at this time~

The City Council, on F~bruary 1, 1977 authorized the employment of
Warren C. Siecke and Associates to prepare a study and recommendations
for the improvement of traffic signals on Huntington Drive from Holly
to Michillinda. Council received a copy of this study in which it
recommended a computerized, traffic responsive and interconnected traffic
signal system. This would result in the antiquated signal controllers
being replaced with modern solid state equipment along with other
changes to upgrade the system. The master controller would be located
in the Department of Public Works Office in City Hall. The estimated
total cost would be $320,000.
Warren Siecke, 2014 S. Canyon Drive, Yorba Linda, answered questions
concerning the proposed new operation and its part in the free flow of
traffic especially during the race season. In response to a question
concerning the time element he advised that it would take approximately
120 days to complete design plans and specifications.
It was MOVED by Councilman Margett, seconded by Council Member Lauber
and carried on roll call vote as follows that the report be APPROVED
and that Warren Siecke and Associates be employed to proceed with
design plans and specifications at a cost not to exceed $12,600. Funds

The Highlands Homeowners' Association requested stop sign installation
at Elkins and Highland Oaks Drive due to the eastbound traffic making

Parry and carried unanimously that the request be granted and that the
Director of Public Works proceed with the stop sign installation.
Council received four requests for permission to close streets for the
purpose of having block parties in celebration of the Fourth of July.

type of parties which have created law enforcement problems, nuisance

sideration at the adjourned regular meeting to be held June 27.
