Application of Donald Mears, 636 Anita Avenue, Monrovia, for a.Council
-Permit to allow a public dance.to be held at the Elks Lodge on November 15.
Mayor Scott declared the hearing open and the applicant explained the
proposed activity stating in part that he is planning the dance because
of the lack of recreation. locally for young adults. He spoke to tre
need of chaperones for the event and said that it is possible some of the
board members of HOY would be available for this purpose.
Discussion. held on the distribution of the proceeds and Mr. Mears said
he would take about 14% for his work. .Mr. Mears circulated an agreement
with HOY wherein all proceeds except expenses for the dance are to go
to HOY' Free Clinic. The age of the youths going to the dance was
explored and the. City Attorney advised that there is no authority in the
Arcadia Municipal Code for the Council to waive the provision denying
anyone under 18 to be admitted without a parent or guardian. . Council
would have to adopt an ordinance rescinding that particular section.
. Mr. Mears said that to' exclude those under 18. would eliminate the
possibility of raising money. Parking accommodations were also explored.
No one else desir~ng to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Gilb, seconded by. Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously.
I
Mr. Mears was commended on his effort. which takes imagination and
interest in the community to promote such an event, but in view of the
Code provision Council submitted it could do nothing but deny the
request. However, if an organization, HOY for instance, would sponsor
such a dance.perhaps Mr. Mears.could return to Council - as the
provision on minors relates primarily to a public dance as opposed to
a private dance sponsored by an organization which has only its members
and invited guests in attendance. It was then MOVED by Councilwoman
Lauber, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried on roll call vote as
follows that the application be DENIED due to. legal technicalities.

Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde, s'tated in part .that she felt a
3 to 4 year contract for rubbish collection woul~ be' more advantageous
to the taxpayers rather than the proposed 5 year agreement. She
referred to an agreement with the- County concern iug animal control; she
questioned the law providing for neutering and spaying of dogs; she also
referred to school buses which in her opinion are over-crowded and also
suggested that the buses be used in off'hours for transporting senior
citizens. Reference was also made to a resolution before Council con-
cerning fingerprinting of applicants for business permlts; she felt the
proposed amendment would be a step in the wrong direction.

Paul Mnoian, 501 Arbolada Drive, referred to the proposed contract for
rubbish collection and stated in part that he felt the present interim
contract ~as not a~arded properly and that in his opinion the bid
proposal ~as void of essential information ~hich ~ould have enabled
bidders to submit competitive bids. He asked that a revised bid proposal
be resubmitted to all eligible refuse companies.
The City Manager presented a recommended agreement for exclusive five-
year residential refuse service ~ith the Best Disposal Company of
Monrovia. Rates ~ere set forth in a proposed resolution. The report
dated October 11 explores the various services, i. e., single family,
multiple-family d~ellings based on units therein, backyard service, etc.
Some discussion held on the availability of the proposed contract to I
the public. The City Manager Protempore advised that it ~ould be
available from this date on and that the press has received a copy.
Each clause of the agreement ~as explored and the letter of recommendation
~as read in full. . It ~as then MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by .
Councilman Saelid and carried on roll call vote as follo~s that the
recommendation be ACCEPTED and that the agreement be and it is hereby

Council received the report and recommendation of staff concerning the
insurance governing city employees under the group health and hospital
plan. It ~as set forth therein that in staff's opinion there is not
sufficient evidence at the present time to justify a change from the
present policy and that the proposal submitted by Blue Shield be re-
jected and that the present carrier (Home Life) be retained.
Considerable discussion ensued and James Wallin, Ray Jones of Arcadia,
Richard Pierson (Blue Shield) and James Kennedy (Home Life) participated.
Items pursued included the length of time it ~ould take for a claim to
be processed, the type of service available from each company, and the I
like. Mr. Pierson submitted that in his opinion the chart before
Council at this time is not correct in all areas relating to his company
and he would like an opportunity to revie~ the information and resubmit.
It was submitted during the discussion that $25,000 was not adequate
for major medical - that consideration should be given to substantially
increasing it at the time Council is prepared to take action on the
coverage. The increase in the cost to the City if this were done was
submitted by Mr. Kennedy who said he would also like the opportunity to
study the chart.
It was the determination of Council that staff meet with representatives
of both Home Life and Blue Shield and consider written information to be
submitted by both firms; that staff prepare a comparison of each firm's
rates, coverages and all facets of the same type of service and that
this be before Council at its November 5 meeting.

Council received the information that Councilwoman Lauber and staff had
visited the Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley animal control
centers and recommends the retention of the County; that both facilities
are inadequate and that the differences are not sufficient to warrant
making a change at this time. Councilwoman Lauber strongly recommended
that Council be alert to any future building or expansion of such a
facility; that those visited do their best with what they have but each
leaves much to be desired.

content and read the title of Ordinance No. 1519., entitled: "AN ORDINANCE

pursued. Council concurred and it waS MOVED by Councilman Saelid,
seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote as
follows that Council accept the recommendation of staff and retain

In order to consider the following item the provisions of the Procedural
Ordinance were WAIVED on MOTION by Councilman Helms, seconded by
Councilman Saelid and carried with Councilman Gilb abstaining.
The City Attorney stated that the Court of Appeals in Von's Grocery vs.
City of Cerritos had ~eld recently that a rezoning of property by a
City which reduces the value of such property substantially would give
rise to a cause of action for dama~es 'against said City by the affected
property owner. He further stated that.'this decIsion was at variance
with the vast majority of zoning ,cases in the united states and repre-
sented a radical departure from' accepted zoning practices and procedures.
The City Attorney requested the Council authorize the City of Arcadia
be named in the amicus curiae brief to be filed with the California
Supreme Court. The City Attorney was so AUTHORIZED on MOTION by
Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried on roll

Reference was made by Councilman Gilb to letters of commendation particu-
larly on the work performed by the paramedics. It was the desire of
Council that staff see that the proper individual and department receive
a copy of all such communications.
Spoke to traffic signals and congestion of traffic at Baldwin and Harvard,
and to violations he has observed by bicyclists and felt more attention
and perhaps citations should be given to that activity. On the former
the Director of Public Works explained what his department intends to
do to alleviate the situation.
Was informed by the Police Chief that the Ride-a-long program has been
discontinued.
Council adjourned to an executive session at 11:55 p.m.
Reconvened and adjourned immediately thereafter to Tuesday November 5,
1974 at 7 p.m. in the Conference Room.
