During the consideration of this particular tract Councilman Scott submitted that the design for this project seems to break away from the stereotype and he was pleased to see this. Council concurred. I Council received Planning Commission recommendation for approval of the tentative map of Tract No. 31634 for a 7 unit residential planned development at 343 Colorado Boulevard pursuant to all conditions set forth in Resolution No. 798 plus those imposed by staff which would include Conditions 1, 2 and 3 of the Department of Public Works. (#3 of these Conditions requires an Irrevocable Offer to dedicate the northerly 30 feet of the property which will provide for the future dedication of Oakhurst Lane as a public street). It was MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that this tentative map be APPROVED subject to all conditions plus those indicated as Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in the Director of Public Works' report, and that this tract will not have an adverse effect on the environment. Council scheduled a public hearing for July 17 on the recommendation of the Planning Commission relating to amendments to the residential planned development regulations of the zoning ordinance (Resolution No. 817).

On MOTION by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously the request of the Recreation Commission for a change of meeting time from 8 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. was APPROVED. I Discussion held on the suggestions from the Arcadia Beautiful Commission concerning publicity on property maintenance. Council concurred that one method could be incorporating the information in the next City Newsletter. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION , '~ " :-, \ Robert Strub, Santa Anita Race Track, stated in part that he was addressing Council to an emergency issue. That he had not attended the Council meeting of June 27 as he had thought the action would not have been to continue the Sunday racing matter until August 7. he 7-3-73 - 2 - 20:8332 noted that which time Anita will that time. hardship on No. 1485 at the California Horse Racing Board will meet on July 16 at the racing dates will be assigned by the Board; that Santa be applying for its dates including the Sunday dates at He said the August 7 date for Council action would work a Santa Anita and asked Council to rescind its Ordinance this meeting. I Mr. Strub continued with reference to the ordinance adopte~ June 5, that it was adopted without the holding of a public hearing and the position of the race track was not heard or considered by Council; that a postcard poll was conducted by Council which card stated that the vote would determine City policy. He noted the results on June 14 indicating those in favor were in the majority. That on June 27 Council instructed the City Attorney to prepare a rescinding ordinance if the poll con- tinued in a favorable manner. That a communication from Mayor Arth also stated if the preliminary results of the poll were confirmed as more cards were returned, the Council agreed to abide by the decision to rescind the ordinance. He submitted in part that he has been advised by attorneys that the State has pre-empted the field of regulation of horse racing and that a ban on Sunday racing is unfair and discrimi- natory in that it regulates Sunday racing but no other business or recreational activity in the City on Sunday is banned. He stated further in part that the postcard poll was authorized by Council at a public meeting. Santa Anita learned of it the following day as to what occurred at that meeting. It was public information. Since Santa Anita had not had the opportunity to appear before Council to make presentation it was felt that they had to present its case to the people. That ,the data in the letter to the citizens was a factual accounting of Santa Anita's views.... the rising cost of labor and competition for racing dates, operational costs, etc. Edward Sullivan,1538 Highland Oaks Drive, stated,in part that at first he was against Sunday racing, but after a discussion held by the Chamber of Commerce at which both Councilman Helms and Mr. Strub spoke, a vote was taken by the members in attendance and it resulted in a favorable vote for Sunday racing. However, the Board of Directors did not decide the issue as it understood Council would refer it to the public through the poll. He continued that the results of the poll should be binding. He then spoke as President of the Downtown Businessmen's Association regarding zoning in the downtown area and made reference to a specific location which he understood is going to be used by a wholesale business. He asked that it be looked into as he is under the impression that the location is not so zoned. I Mrs. Cay Mortenson, 804 Balboa Drive,stated in part that she was appalled that the ban on Sunday racing had been retained; that from the letter by Mayor Arth she understood the action would be based on the result of the poll. She commended Councilman Scott in his position; that regardless of whether one is for or against Sunday racing Council had made a promise to the people and she was interested in the credibility of such promises. Herbert Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, expressed concern about the citizens who had attended the meeting of June 27 and had been advised the matter wouW be continued to the meeting of August 7. Kermit Hartzler, 36 Alta Street, expressed dissatisfaction with the way the matter of Sunday racing has been handled thus far. He stated he was in favor of permitting it because he believes in the free enterprise system. He stated in part that Council was elected to represent all of the people, and is expected to make the hard decisions when called upon to do so. He did not question Council motives only its judgment. He said the real issue is that all businesses are to be treated equally under the law and that the Santa Anita Race Track is a legitimate busi- ness such as other retail service establishments, including liquor 7-3-73 - 3 - 20:8333 stores, supermarkets, drug stores and the like. He asked Council to abide by the results of the poll initiated by Council. Douglas Atkins, 821 Arcadia Avenue, Secretary-Treasurer of the Horsemans' Benevolent Protective Association, asked Council to rescind the ordinance and submitted that if Santa Anita is not permitted to race on Sundays the dates would probably go to Hollywood Park where Sunday racing is permitted. D. B. Bertone, 440 Stanford Drive, asked Council to rescind the ordinance. That being a neighbor of Santa Anita he has found it to be most cooperativeo Brian Sweeney, General Manager of California Thoroughbred Breeder's Association, stated in part that Sunday racing is the only good thing that has happened to the business of horse racing in recent years. He urged Council to rescind the ordinance. I Homer Shirley, stated in part that as a businessman he has had to stay open on Sunday because of competition and compared this position to that of Santa Anita and urged Council to rescind the ordinance. James Wallin, 1747 Oakwood Avenue, President of the Arcadia Taxpayers Association. urged Council to adhere to its promise and referred to the Fashion Park matter in which th'e Association was active. Randy Sechrest, 300 Harvard Drive, felt from the horseman's standpoint Sunday racing is a must. Jean Hoard, 2172 Highland Vista Drive, spoke in favor of Sunday racing and asked consideration for the families who would like to attend Santa Anita on Sundays. She also thanked Council for opening up Baldwin Avenue. Mrs. Hudson Roysher, 1784 S. Santa Anita Avenue, referred to the postcard poll which she felt was inadequate and questioned its validity. As far as other businesses are concerned they do not generate the traffic as does the race track and noted parking situations which are created by the traffic at some of the churches. Also the County Park and the Arboretum which would be affected. She asked Council to give further consideration. Robert Campbell, 316 Cabrillo Road, stated in part that he was aware that the race track was in the City when he moved here and felt it is a fine horse racing plant. He observed further that in his opinion the poll would have been very revealing if there had been some way of identifying the returns precinct by precinct and that the publicity by Santa Anita had influenced many of the citizens. He felt the advantages are purely financial and asked Council to take into consideration the matter of environmental pollution which would be increased through the generated traffic. I Ray Jones, 1221 S. Ninth Avenue, supported Sunday racing. He felt Council's decision to leave the matter up to the people was wrong; that as elected representatives Council should have made the decision. At this point Councilman Butterworth submitted in part that from the arguments which are being made at this meeting it appears the basic assumption is that Council is going to fail to revoke the anti-Sunday racing statute or going to repudiate the will of the people. That this argument is utterly groundless and without foundation in fact. That this position has never been taken... Council has taken the position that it would like to consider the matter in view of what it felt were some mitigating circumstances.... that when Council discovered the fact that racing industry had initiated an emergency measure through the 7-3-73 - 4 - 20:8334 I Legislature which would have the effect of emasculating any authority Council might have in the matter of zoning, an ordinance was enacted forbidding Sunday racing. Council at that time had in mind that it wanted to do what the people wanted to do. That attitude still pre" vails... They had a postcard vote and the results are known. However, there were some indications that everyone did not receive a card. Also Council wanted to think about the effect the city-wide mailing and the newspaper publicity by Santa Anita had on the vote as the publicity indicated that if Sunday racing were not allowed taxes would increase. There is no way of knowing what the result would have been if this publicity had not gone out. He noted in part that there is no end to the argument that Santa Anita needs the money and referred to the time Fashion Park was being considered. That to him the most important part is whether or not the people want Sunday racing and if so he feels obligated to allow it.. that he is however going to give it serious thought. Mrs. Betty Willis, 1115 Holly Avenue, referred to the primary reason she came to this meeting - to hear the discussion on condominiums - that she had hoped Council would consider creating an architectural board. However with regard to Sunday racing she felt Council should abide by the results of the postcard vote. Gary Jones, 822 Camino Grove, asked Council to uphold the results of the postcard poll and stated that through his experience driving to and from Inglewood on Sundays the traffic is not as bad as it is on Saturdays which will probably be the experience in this City. He referred to the possibility his taxes might increase if Santa Anita does not remain. Councilman Helms stated in part that this latter observation troubles him greatly... that the income from Santa Anita racing is not part of the City's operating budget - that if the City did not have it the operating budget would continue unaffected.. that the City tax is one of the lowest in the County, which is not related to whether or not Santa Anita stays. He felt the publicity sent out by Santa Anita influenced the vote. If he were convinced this were not true he would feel differently. Councilman Scott submitted that in response to the comment made by Councilman Helms concerning the operating budget that some of the race track money was put in the budget during the last year in order to achieve the 94~ City tax rate. That if the City is going to maintain its present way of life, building libraries, city halls, police facili- ties, parks and the like, it could not be done on a 94~ tax rate... those things do come from the attendance tax at Santa Anita. I Lyle Cunningham, 475 Oxford Drive, referred to the Special Meeting held by Council on June 14 at which the results of the poll were announced; Council said at that time that ,if the poll results continue to show a majority in favor it would consider it to be the desire of the people and take definite action on June 27. He asked Council to abide by its commitment. Hal Roach, 1510 San Carlos Road, submitted in part that the growing period of a community is the time when it is the most expensive... what with bond issues.. taxes go up and up. When these have been paid off they get back to a reasonably level point... that the City went through that entire period without having its taxes increased at all and that was because of the existence in the City of Santa Anita. He noted that the money from Santa Anita went into a Capital Improvement Program Fund which was set up by a previous Council. This money built all of the public buildings, with the exception of the schools, without a single bond issue. That Santa Anita has had something to do with the low tax rate. 7-3-73 - 5 - (MOTION) BICYCLES Registration Fees 20:8335 Beatrice Rowland, 444 W. Duarte Road, employee of Santa Anita, agreed with statements which have been made by citizens and as an employee of the race track explored some of the problems being encountered as a result of the delay in the decision. Councilman Helms stated in part that Council was not aware of some of the facts brought up at this meeting; that questions were raised about the validity of the poll and whether it truly represented the will of the people. He affirmed what was stated by Councilman Butterworth - that he is completely committed to the principle that this Council must represent the will of the people.. that if it be the will of the people the ordinance will be repealed. However, there was a reasonable request that Council not be precipitous in its action and a date in early August was set.. and the people who had attended the meeting of June 27 have I relied on that date.. that the only thing to do now is to advance the date on which Council proposed to take final action to the next meeting of Council and MOVED to advance the date from August 7 to July 17. Motion seconded by Councilman Butterworth. Robert Strub addressed Council again stating in part that the meeting would probably entail both sides rallying forces to make argument - that the question is the validity of the poll. He also stated that the Racing Board will meet on July 16 before the suggested meeting date. During this discussion Council concurred that the meeting would not be open to audience participation. That Council had heard both sides. Councilman Hage stated in part that he was a party to the wording on the postcard in which it was stated that Council would abide by the decision of the people... that this he would do; that he felt it is an honest poll. He concurred with the advancement of the meeting date and would consider a Special Meeting prior to the date of the Racing Board meeting on July 16. Mayor Arth stated in part that Council bent over backwards not to have anything on the card which would influence the people in their vote. That he did not make a statement to the press in order to express his viewpoint which he could have. He recognized the results of the poll appear to be predominantly in favor. However, he would go along with the July 17 date for the meeting. Discussion ensued in response to Councilman Scott's suggestion motion be amended to schedule the meeting at an earlier date. this time Mr. Strub consulted with his attorney. that the During Council deliberated on agenda items. At a later time Mr. Strub addressed Council again stating in part that the problem facing Santa Anita is that other racing associations will be seeking Sunday dates from the Horse Racing Boards; that there is a possibility if Santa Anita goes to the Board meeting on July 16 without a decision from Council the Sunday dates could be assigned to another track. It was finally decided to hold the meeting on July 11 - with every effort made to notify persons who spoke at the June 27 meeting through the press and in writing. I Councilman Helms then amended his MOTION to advance the date'of August 7 to July 11 at 7:30 p.m., at which time the matter of Sunday racing will be the agenda item. There will be no audience participation, however Council will,accept communications prior to the date and time of the meeting. Councilman Scott seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Scott, Hage, Butterworth, Helms, Arth None None Council received a communication from the State Department of Justice relating to the development of an automated Stolen Bicycle System being implemented.

Assessments procedures thereafter are uncertain at this time. Staff advised that the ,City currently issues registrations and a decal without charge. It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on roll call vote as follows that the City not 'mpose any fee for bicycle registration. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Scott, Hage, Butterworth, Helms, Arth None None On recommendat ion of the ,City Manager it was MOVED by Counc i lman He lms, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously that staff be directed to go to competitive bidding for the City's liability insurance. It was noted that the present policy will expire August 1, 1973. (Communication from Amesbury & Mee, Inc. was received relating to this matter) . At the request of Councilman Scott the City Manager will investigate the adaptability of the insurance procedures as followed by the Arcadia School District, namely, working with and through the Arcadia Insurance Broker's Association with a report back within a reasonable period of time as to his assessment of this procedure. Council received a report from tlie ,City Engineer concerning a petition requesting downward speed limits on Longden Avenue, sidewalks on the north side of Longden between Holly and El Monte and, painted crosswalks at all approaches to the Longden-Holly intersection. Jim Strahans, 339 W. Longden, asked that the speed limit be reduced to 25 mph and submitted his reasons therefor - it is a residential street and heavily populated. On MOTION by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously the plans and specifications were APPROVED and the City Clerk was AUTHORIZED to advertise for bids for the street resurfacing program for 1973 (Jqb No. 412).

On MOTION by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously the tree planting program for the business districts was referred to the Chamber of Commerce for study and report back to Council. Council received reports relating to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District Project for Clamshell Canyon. It was the consensus of Council that the environmental impact report prepared by the District is not as complete as it should be. It was therefore MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously that the EIR be disapproved and that the City Attorney be directed to prepare a reso- lution to this effect. Council received information from the City Librarian that additional shelving is needed at the facility and it would be desirable for this shelving to be interchangeable and of the same material as those already in place. It was the Librarian's contention that this could only be obtained from the firm which supplied the shelving in the first place. Discussion ensued on such a procedure which would entail an exception from the normal bidding process. However, it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried on roll call vote as follows that staff prepare a bid call for shelving so that it would be limited to shelving which is interchangeable with shelving now utilized by the library. Councilman Scott and Mayor Arth did not agree with this pro- cedure as they felt it would preclude other vendors. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Hage, Butterworth, Helms Councilmen Scott, Arth None Council received the requested reports from the Police and Engineering Departments concerning the proposed restaurant at 101 W. Huntington Drive. Both reports related to the intersection of Santa Clara and Huntington. The complexity of the matter was explored and it was sub- mitted that in order to accomplish a left turning provision, which would benefit the restaurant, the present signals would have to be modified. The regulatory signs and pavement markings would also need replacement. The cost would vary with the extent of the modification providing the State Division of Highways would agree. Following dis- cussion in which Mrs. Paxson, one of the designers of the facility, participated, it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried on roll call vote as follows that if the I, 7-3-73 - 8 - PARK AND RECREATION FEE 1 (MOTION) (AMENDED MOTION CARRIED) RESOLUTION j NO, 4343 ADOPTED 1,' ORDINANCE / NO. 1482 v' ADOPTED 1 , ORDINANCE NO. 1488 INTRODUCED 20:8338 modification is deemed necessary after a year's experience following the opening of the restaurant, that the owners be required to pay 25 percent of the cost, amount not to exceed $5000.
