at which time a revised tentative map was filed. The Planning
Commission denied this map with the stipulation that the denial would
not affect the previously approved map, before Council at this time.
In reviewing the projecturals of the subject tract Council expressed
concern about the ownership of property between the Canyon Reservoir
site and the access road to the water tanks northeast of the subdivision.
Mr. Hedlund of Hopen, Hedlund & Darby, Inc. representing the owners of
the tract property, stated if the property under question is found to
belong to his client something could be worked out. It was the opinion
of staff that the reservoir site property was city owned. It was then

roll call vote as follows that Council determines this tract will not

APPROVED subject to all conditions imposed by staff; that the require- I

condition that the City owns that property between the Canyon Reservoir
site and the access road northeast of the subdivision; and in the event

Helms, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried unanimously.

circulation area of the City Library. Jerry Busse, with Fickas,
Architects, explained what is proposed and the costs which he estimated

the 3M Electronic Book and Periodical Detection System which was

PARTICIPATION
Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde, referred to the following subjects:

season and holiday shopping; additional funds being used for community
redevelopment; Ordinance No. 1525 concerning the attendance by minors
at public dances which she felt should be considered by the school
administrators and the PIA organizations; objected to the use of tax
dollars for a new policy being established by the San Gabriel Valley
Juvenile Diversion Project for mini-bike excursions by the youth.
I
Jerry Gallagher, 400 W. Norman Avenue, spoke at length concerning the
corner of Holly and Norman Avenues at which he felt a four way stop
sign is needed. He cited accidents at that location and submitted a
petition with 47 signatures requesting the stop sign. Discussion
ensued on the elimination of obstructing landscaping growth which may
preclude drivers from seeing the stop sign, for east/west traffic on
Norman. It was felt by Council that a pavement lettering "stop ahead"
might help.
Ron Mullens, 1725 Holly Avenue, also spoke to this traffic problem and
expressed concern for the children walking to the elementary Baldwin
Stocker School at Lemon Avenue. He noted stop signs at other streets
on Holly and asked favorable consideration for Norman.
It was the consensus of Council that this matter has sufficient merit
for full review by Council of the diagrams of the accident to which
Mr. Gallagher referred and to a traffic count of the area along with
data concerning the installation of a four way stop sign.
Mrs. Milton Creek, 1115 Columbia Road, asked that consideration of the
CRA matter be delayed until all Council members would be present. She
commended Council on its endeavor to encourage public participation in
City government.
Mrs. Sherri Passmore, 1109 Columbia Road, felt the intention of
Council to have public input during the budget planning time is a step
toward improved communication between government and the taxpayers.
She referred to new legislation with regard to CRA which she felt
Council and the public should have time to study before approving any
further monies. She asked Council to delay consideration of this
matter until there is a full Council and perhaps until after the
ho lidays.
Robert Munro, 408 Cabrillo Road, asked that CRA be postponed until a
full Council is present.
David Parry, 101 Santa Ynez Road, submitted in part that the matter of
CRA should be put to a vote by the people; that it should be known if
a specific project is in the process of formulation; that there are
many positive considerations .... civic auditorium, parks program, etc.
and that before any additional monies are spent on CRA consideration
should be given to holding a public hearing.

Council received the recommendation concerning the budget needs for
policing traffic during the Santa Anita race meet starting December
26, 1974. The budget request is considered sufficient under normal
conditions however there was an increase reflected to offset moderate
variations which might be required due to Fair Labor Standards Act
regulations covering public safety employees which become effective
Janu?ry l, 1975. It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilman
Gilb and carried on roll call vote as follows that the sum of $128,l40
be APPROPRIATED for said purpose. If it is determined that there is a
legal need for a resolution due to the supplemental appropriation the
City Attorney will so prepare.
