Council welcomed other visiting students and Roberta White, Youth
Commission Advisor, was congratulated on her dedication and
helpfulness to the Commission.
The contractor for the Assessment District Phase IX Sidewalk Program
has completed work as outlined in the plans and specifications and in
conjunction with the procedure staff notified owners of affected
properties that this public hearing would be held on the Engineer's
Report which indicates work performed on the parcels and the individual
costs to each property owner. (Engineer's report filed in the Office
of the City Clerk). This hearing was scheduled for any protests to
the work or to the costs.
Mayor Gilb declared the hearing open and Mrs. John T. Malone, 408
Fairview Avenue, stated in part that although she resides in an R-3
zone her home is single family and the costs would be a financial
hardship. She felt her property should be considered R-l and that
the sidewalks are really of no benefit to her. Mrs. Malone was
advised on the requirement for installation of sidewalks in an R-3
zone and the purpose for this hearing_ Council understood and
sympathized with her situation but at this point in the proceedings
under the Assessment District Act of 1911 the matter is irreversible.

Council received the request of the Youth Commission for permission
to proceed with a World Hunger Concern Project. Recognizing the need
on behalf of persons in the world who are starving, the youth of the
City would like to participate. Junior and Senior High School
students would obtain sponsors who would pledge to pay World Vision,
a non-profit Christian humanitarian organization, for each hour the
participants go without solid foods (36 hour maximum). It was noted
that the cost to the City would be nominal and would be absorbed
within the current Youth Commission Budget. It was MOVED by
Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unani-
mously that permission be granted to proceed with this project.
Council recessed in order to act as the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency
and reconvened as the City Council immediately thereafter.

Mrs. John T. Malone, 408 Fairview Avenue, once again addressed
Council concerning the sidewalk assessment matter. She questioned
the purpose of this hearing which she felt was called to give persons
residing in a single residence some consideration. The Director of
Public Works recited the entire procedure from the time of the
posting of the first notice of the proposed construction to date.
Gene Beley, dba Games, Inco, referred to his previous requests of
Council for reconsideration of the amount of license fee he is
required to pay for each one of his game machines. He made
J\.llA~__comparisons with what is being charged for other types of businesses.

financial relief.
The following persons spoke in response to a complaint made by
Mrs. Dana Overton, 123 E. Diamond, concerning noise, parking problems

First Avenue by private parties, i.e., weddings, etc.:

Steve Stefanchuk, 126 Diamond, spoke of his problem in getting into

for its patrons.
Mrs. Clifford Siemens, 136 Elkins Place, spoke on behalf of the local

Mrs. Edward Wilcox, 404 S. First Avenue spoke of vandalism and graffitti
she has suffered at her home, parking problem, and the noise which
sometimes goes until 2 a.m. She felt further regulations should be

Mrs. Jane Shepherd, Past President of the Woman's Club, 334 E. Forest
Avenue, explored the background of the Club and its primary interest
in the community. She noted the Club does not have other resources
and that is why the clubhouse is rented. She said the Club wants to
be a good neighbor and will do everything to continue so to be.
Some discussion ensued on various methods which could be tried and

Council received staff report on the traffic situation at California
and Third Avenues (dated November 4). Discussion ensued and it was
the consensus of Council that rather than to remove the existing stop
sign for west and eastbound traffic that a 4-way stop sign be put

could be resolved in that manner. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman
Helms, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously that a
stop sign be installed at said location for north-southbound traffic

The Planning Department received a request from Richard D. Bundy for
consideration of an electronic game center at Fashion Park. It would
be a determination for Council to make as to whether or not a game room
could be considered an "other use" pursuant to Resolution No. 4185 and
if so would it be compatible and appropriate for a regional shopping
center.
During this consideration Mr. Bundy and Bill Stone, Shopping Center
Manager for the Ernest W. Hahn Company, addressed themselves to the
subject submitting in part that game roomS are now being included in
some shopping centers. They would be supervised and no smoking or
drinking would be permitted in the game room. A shopping center in

the City of Torrance was submitted as an example. Council evinced an
interest in visiting this facility and it was MOVED by Councilman
Helms, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried unanimously that
the matter be continued until the next regular meeting. This matter
will be on the November 18 agenda.
Pursuant to a request by Council at its meeting of September 16 staff
submitted a formula for its calculation in recommending a salary
adjustment for the Welder Specialist. This would increase the monthly
compensation from $25 to $50 which would be the first increase since
1967. It was MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilwoman

Pursuant to Council's request the Chamber of Commerce submitted the
report of its Business License Review Committee concerning the City's
present business license tax formula. The Committee concluded that
the present formula appears equitable and relatively trouble free and
superior to the use of any gross receipt formula. It also reported
that the present licensing of amusement and game machines was fair
and equitable and in line with comparable communities. An additional
paragraph was included concerning distribution of printed matter
(Section 6620.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code).
Considerable discussion ensued and Councilman Helms referred to the
most recent City financial statement which reflects anticipated
revenue from business license fees. He suggested that Council receive
a report from staff on a more equitable formula for determining the
tax base of businesses including the professions. He felt a formula
based on a percentage of gross receipts would generate the same amount
of revenue but would be a more 'equitable spread. Council concurred
and staff will submit a report at the December 16 regular meeting.
The City Manager will report on the portion of the Chamber Committee
communication concerning distribution of advertising matter.
The City Attorney will prepare an ordinance for Council consideration
reflecting a change in the code relating to amusement games whether
or not they are contained in a specific game room or arcade.
Council received a report on available Federal Revenue Sharing Funds
for the Council Chamber project (dated October 1975). Whereupon the
City Attorney presented, explained the content and read the title of
Resolution No., 4532, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA APPROPRIATING FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS FOR
COUNCIL CHAMBER PROJECT."

regard. It was MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman
