Dr. Merton Alexander, l73 Highland, Monrovia, with local offices at
ll7 E. Live Oak Avenue, spoke at length concerning an initiative which
would be placed on the November 1976 ballot on a limitation of awards in
medical malpractice suits. He noted that time is of the essence if the
petition were to qualify; that the California Medical Association is
thinking in terms of placing it on the ballot for 1978 but he felt that
is too distant and asked Council to recognize an ad hoc committee and to
appoint a Council member to act as liaison to this committee and also
that Council support the principle. He added in part that the doctors
locally are in favor of the initiative and that he had contacted local
groups and had not found public apathy.
In response to Council's inquiry the City Attorney stated in part that
Council's primary function is with municipal government; that the
malpractice situation and insurance problems are statewide; that Council
could render an opinion on State legislation when it is clear that the
legislation is needed by the City and backed by a strong majority of the
electorate in the City; that to his knowledge Council has not gone on I
record in becoming involved in something which did not have a great
majority behind it. That if Council were to appoint a member to the
ad hoc committee it would be giving a sense of official sanction...
that as yet the best minds in State Government or in the California
Medical Association have not come up with something satisfactory...
that in his opinion there is no one on the City staff qualified or has
the time to research and come up with some sort of a formula for
determination as to limitation of a personal injury award.
Council indicated its appreciation to those attending the meeting and
expressed the'same concerns as submitted by Dr. Alexander. It was felt
that it is unfortunate that the California Medical Association has not
taken any action up to this time; and in that case if Council were to
take a position it would be taking it on professional advice and the
initiative would then have the name of the association behind it.

Howard Long, 23l N. Grand, Monrovia, President of the American Physical
Fitness Institute, stated in part he understood and respected Council's
position but did feel a vote of confidence was in order and suggested
an endorsement without specific legal wording. Council indicated it
must follow the advice of the City Attorney.
Herb Fletcher, l75 W. Lemon Avenue, spoke to the proposed, improvement of
traffic signal operation, on Santa Anita at Duarte and at Santa Anita and
Longden (an agenda item). He felt the present operation is satisfactory
and adequate without modification and asked Council to use caution in
spending funds unless absolutely necessary.
At the request of Council at its last meeting a Parking Improvement
Schedule for the Towne Centre area was submitted. It indicated design,
financing and construction. Estimated date of finalization of the
revisions of cost and design was February ll, with the date estimated
for completion of the project somewhere between November l7 and 30, 1976.
Councilman Saelid brought up the subject of the environmental impact
report and the Economic Coordinator explained that if Council so desired
it could consider the EIR prepared for the entire project as sufficient
for the purpose of meeting the requirement, but that in his opinion,
large parking lots, because they also are tied to the circulation system
and have been treated in a different category by the Environmental
Protection Agency, are different than normal construction which might be
developed in a project area. The EIR scheduling was proposed to be before
Council at its next regular meeting. Councilman Saelid was concerned
that the plan for the downtown area might end up designed around the
parking lot.. that it is imperative in his thinking that Council proceed
with a total plan and not just a parking lot plan. Councilman Scott
reiterated his interest in knowing whether or not a study has been made
of the feasibility of constructing a two level parking structure which
would eliminate walking distances. It was pointed out that this was
discussed at the last two Council meetings however Mr. Scott was out of
the City at those times. Councilman Scott felt the land in the subject
area is too valuable to be tied up in a place to park; that it has the
potential for revenue producing facilities.
The Parking Improvement Schedule will be submitted to the Planning
Commission as the Schedule was originally requested by that body. Staff
was asked to keep Council apprised of the progress.
Mayor Gilb noted that one of the Parking Place Commissioners, George
Forman, would be resigning and asked Council to give thought to his
replacement.
In order to complete transactions in the sale of City-owned property at
65 N. First Avenue to the Arcadia Medical Center Group the following
motion was made by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and
carried on roll call vote as follows - that the City hereby authorize the
conveyance of title to the City property described in the Option to
Purchase Real Property dated April l, 1975 to the Arcadia Redevelopment
Agency and that the Mayor and City Clerk be and they are hereby authorized
to execute all documents necessary for the conveyance of said property
and that the note be formulated to the satisfaction of the City Attorney.

Herman Ruhnau, Project Architect for the Council Chamber, presented in
detail changes made since his last presentation to Council. These changes
could amount to a substaritial savings. An estimated total project cost
was $9l2,420 and deductive alternates were itemized in the report dated
February l3, wherein it was also stated in part that Federal Revenue
Sharing Funds available to finance the project total $S74,l7l including
revenue sharing funds for the final entitlement period of the existing
program ending December 1976. If the total project cost does not amount

funds available in the Capital Outlay Fund. The call for bids has been
scheduled for March lO with the award of contract on March 16 with an
estimated completion date of February l, 1977.
Council reviewed and discussed colors, materials and all renderings
submitted by the architect. The possible future need of the 396 sq. ft.
of basement area which has been recommended for elimination was explored.
However it was pointed out by the architect that to include this at this
time would entail a complete redesign of the specifications plus a
change in the time schedule. Inasmuch as building costs are rapidly
increasing and due to the time element this was not pursued:. It was
MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried
on roll call vote as follows that the plans and specifications as

Pursuant to Council's direction staff submitted plans and specifications
for traffic signal improvement at two locations and for advance warning
signs and flashing beacons at First and Genoa. These flashers would be
activated from the fire station. The existing phasing at Santa Anita
and Duarte would be modified to permit left turns on green arrow only on
Duarte. The left turn signals would be mounted on a 30 ft. mast arm due
to the absence of medians for east/west traffic. Street name signs will
be added to the mast arm to provide improved visibility and for safer
lane changes, At Santa Anita and Longden the signals would be modified
to permit concurrent through movement in the absence of vehicles in
either one of the left turn pockets. Pedestrian push buttons and ad-
ditional timers would be installed for pedestrian actuation in the
north/south direction. Councilman Saelid felt the estimated $7000
proposed to be expended for the concurrent through movement in the
absence of vehicles in either one of the left turn pockets was not
warranted for the little improvement to be gained. Two motions were then
acted upon.
;
It was MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and
carried on roll call vote as follows that the proposed traffic modification
for Santa Ani~a on Duarte and the fire truck warning signs at First and
Genoa be APPROVED, and that a determination be made that these projects

Discussion held on the use by the race track on certain days of the city
owned parking lot at the north end of the Civic Center. The track had a
previous five year lease for which the consideration was the cost of
paving the area. The lease expired in 1973 and no extension has ever
been entered into. Some discussion on imposing a fee for the use of the
lot. However during the consideration it was the consensus that as long
as the City does not have another need for the land it could be opened
for parking. Staff was asked to pursue the use of the land for some
type of recreational activity.
During this discussion Lyle Cunningham'spoke on behalf of Santa Anita
Race Track - in part - that as long as the land is not being useQlfor
other purposes that it is to the City's interest and benefit to allow
the race track patrons to use the parking lot on overflow days and to
relieve traffic congestion and to help keep cars off the city streets.
He noted other City and County owned areas which are used by the public;
that the race track officials would be willing to name the City as an
additional insured. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Scott,
seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows
that the north parking lot be opened for public use on Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays and that the Santa Anita Race Track name the City
as a co-insured with insurance liability coverage in an amount satis-
factory to the City Attorney.
