CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 1, 1970
The City Council met in regular session on Tuesday, September 1,
1970, at 7:30 P.M., in the Council Chamber of the Arcadia City
Hall.
Rev, James E. Holland, Church of the Good Shepherd
Mayor Edward L, Butterworth

On MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Arth and
carried unanimously the Minutes of the Special Meeting of August
13 and the Regular Meeting of August 18, 1970, were APPROVED.
Request of the owner-operator of the City Refuse Service Company
under contract with the City for residential pickup of refuse.
Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing open.
Kenneth Norman, owner of the company for the past 2~ years, submitted
that he had met with the Committee appointed to study his request
(City Manager, City Attorney and the Finance Director); that he had
turned over to them all substantiating records including financial
statements and income tax records. He presented photographs of various
properties with rubbish containers on the curbs awaiting pickup indi-
cating some of the problems encountered by the service company with the
amount of refuse exceeding the limitation of 100 pounds for the basic
$2 per month rate charged at the present time due to increased natural
foliage growth, the advent of the 'no return' bottle, the banning of
the home incinerator - that rubbish from the average household has
increased almost 100 percent and the residents are consistently placing
more rubbish out as there is no other way to dispose of it. And noted
that gardeners have discontinued hauling away tree cuttings and the
like - due to the dumping fees and the location of the dumps.
He noted that the residential routes produce approximately 2600 tons
of refuse per month and referred to the ever mounting operation and
administrative expenses such as labor, fringe benefits, equipment
replacement, fuel expense, dumping fees, taxes in all forms, general
insurance items and anticipated further increases due to current
business trends; that the company had not requested a rate increase
in 14 years. He is asking for an increase in the basic residential
rates from $2 to $3 per month and that the volume be increased from
the present 100 pounds, which is being exceeded, to 200 pounds; that
the multiple rate be increased from $1 to $1.50 per unit per month,
In answer to whether or not he could establish a dual rate he stated
in part that it would be difficult to administer.
The possibility of providing containers uniform in size was discussed
and Mr. Norman explained they would have to be available in various
sizes to meet the need of the resident and expressed interest in
residents using the plastic bag which is now available - it would be
a benefit to the homeowner as there would be nothing remaining on his
curb.

Discussion held on competitive bidding and reference was made to the
circumstances when the original contract was entered into; that the
residents did not want a variety of trucks coming into the city to
make pickups and to require bids on an annual basis would not
encourage the contractor to invest in new equipment.
Councilman Helms expressed opposition to an 18 year contract with
anyone firm without competitive bidding - that perhaps other
companies were performing more efficiently and economically -
that there was no way of making a comparison in those areas. Council-
man Arth also felt it was too long for one company to have the
contract.
I
Robert Wood, 837 Hugo Reid Drive, referred to the City of Pasadena
which has increased its rates twice in the last three years. He
felt an increase was justified and that the current operation was a
credit to the City.
Earl Welch, 930 Singing Wood Drive, stated in part that to him it was
incredible that an increase has not been requested during 14 years and
urged granting the requested increase.
Mrs. Darlyn Thompson, 2242 Highland Vista Drive, stated in part that
as a housewife she would not like several different operators
collecting refuse; that she has never had a refusal although she has
had more than the 100 pounds permitted, She expressed satisfaction
with the operation and favored an increase.
Richard Godber, 911 Paloma Drive, spoke in favor of the increase and
commended the operation.

The recommendation of the Committee was then considered with the City
Manager commending Mr. Norman on his cooperation in providing the
necessary records and explaining the pickup procedure - 9,511 single
units, 355 duplexes, 129 triplexes and 4,675 multiple units are
serviced between 7 a. m. and 3:30 p,m. The type of equipment was
explored and dump site locations were indicated. Complaints have
been at a minimum since Mr. Norman assumed operations. A comparison
of rates was made with adjacent cities. Facts and figures contained I
in the report dated August 13 indicated that the contractee is not
receiving a fair return on his investment. The committee recommended
an increase of from $2 to $2.50 for single residences and multiple
units from $1 to $1.25 per unit with a 200 pound limitation instead of
the present 100 pound...the contractor to take away all cardboard
containers. Under this rate it was stated the contractor would realize
a 7% return.
Discussion held on the change in the appearance of the city if uniform
containers were used; also the possible recycling of some of the refuse
items and on disposable containers currently available.
In answer to an inquiry Mr. Norman stated in part that he would be
willing to pick up the 200 pounds if granted an increase, but felt that
a recheck of his figures would indicate he would not realize a 7% return
if he is granted the increases as recommended by city staff.

Councilman Helms referred to a chart of cities surveys and commented
that only two cities a re charging over the rate recommended; that all
the others are in t~ $2 range, It was noted that the subject company
also services the City of Sierra Madre which does its own billing - the
rate is $2. Mr. Norman explained that a new contract is now being
negotiated with that city.
Councilman Arth observed that he is concerned in that at the time Mr,
Norman purchased the business 2~ years ago he must have considered it
a good investment; that he would be in favor of the recommended
increase; that should a higher rate be granted he would then prefer
to go on a dual scale.
Councilman Arth then MOVED to accept the recommendation of the Committee
and effective September 1, 1970, the rates be increased from $2 to $2.50
for single residences and multiple units from $1 to $1.25 per unit; that
the amount of refuse to be picked up for these amounts be increased from
100 to 200 pounds, that the contractor remove all cardboard boxes with
the refuse. Motion seconded by Councilman Hage and carried on roll call

It was the consensus of Council that it looks to the day when the
appearance of the City will be improved through some type of uniform
container. Staff will consider and report to Council on November 3,
1970. Mr. Norman will assume responsibility for notification to the
residents of the aforementioned changes in fees and service.
Request of the San Gabriel Valley Cab Company for an increase in rates.
Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing open and the President of the
franchised company, Walter J, Connolly, Jr., based his request on
increasing costs in labor, increased wages for employees other than
the drivers, insurance rates and increased costs of the vehicles, parts,
tires, gasoline and other items. The p~esent and the requested increased
rates are as follows:
Present:
$ .50 for the first 1/5 mile or fraction thereof
$ .10 for each additional 1/5 mile or fraction thereof
$ .10 for each 1 minute waiting time or traffic delay
Request:
$,60 for the first 1/6 mile or fraction thereof
$.10 for each additional 1/6 mile or fraction thereof
$.10 for each 1 minute waiting time or traffic delay
In discussing the service Mr. Connolly expressed regret that Councilman
Considine experienced a 45 minute wait for a taxicab which never did
arrive and felt with the increased rate the company would be able to
operate more efficiently through increased compensation and benefits.
He submitted that the County checks the meters on an annual basis. It
also spot checks during the year. The vehicles are replaced every two
years. The Company serves ten cities plus County areas.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously.
The City Manager recommended granting the increases and referred to his
report which stated in part that based on all records submitted by the
Company they are indicated; that all cities served have already granted
increases or will in the near future and that the quality of service has
for the most part been favorable.

Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth
and carried on roll call vote as follows, that the recommendation be
accepted and that the increases as outlined above be APPROVED.
Councilman Helms stated he would vote with reluctance as he felt the
impact would be felt by the elderly, those on fixed incomes, those
most dependent on the taxi service.

YOUTH
COMMISSION
Maureen Johnson, Chairman of the Youth Commission, read in full a
letter requesting $300 for entertainment at the Wilderness Park - an
Ecology Concert - on Sunday, September 20. Also $75 for canned soft
drinks, all fees collected from this particular source would be
returned to the City.

Itemization: $200 for a Hollywood based band ($100 for equipment
handling, moving, set-up and $100 for union fees). $100 for local
entertainment (two bands at $50 each). $75 for refreshments.
Miss Johnson noted the time element involved, that there isn't time
to embark on a fund raising campaign inasmuch as school does not
open until September 14. She said no tickets would be sold at the
gate. That because such an event was so successful some months ago
it was decided by the Commission to hold another.

Councilman Helms MOVED that the Council appropriate $300 from its

from the City Revolving Fund for refreshments. Motion seconded by
Councilman Hage.

Considerable discussion ensued with Councilman Considine stating in
part that to him there was a principle involved; that the Commission
should work within a budget like all other boards and/or commissions,
thereby learning government participation, that if an event is enter-
tainment it should be self-sustaining such as those sponsored by the
City Recreation Department. He said he would rather appropriate $500
at this time as a budget base and have the Commission program itself
and submit to Council for approval. He did not see where this would
work a hardship as students from junior high grade through high school
plan ahead for activities. That undoubtedly it needed guidelines f,om

Councilman Arth questioned the type of activity the city is now being
asked to underwrite, and also referred to special events of this nature
put on by the City which are self-sustaining; that he recognized
guidelines will have to be evolved over a period of time and experience.
He felt that due to the little time in which to plan he would be willing
to go along with this request with the understanding that in future
years the Commission would work within a budget. Councilman Hage con-
curred in this observation and felt the City should provide some assistance
in helping the Commission get started. f
Councilman Helms stated in part that youth should be encouraged to learn
to function and operate within a democratic form of government; that
certainly guidelines are in order; that Council should lay down some
positive direction, but in his opinion, the subject expenditure is a
proper use of public funds; that it is a worthwhile project and of
value to the community. He pointed out that the Arcadia Beautiful
COmmission is also operating without a budget.
Mayor Butterworth did not agree and observed that he could not support
the motion as stated; that he would favor establishing a base fund at
this time from which the Commission could operate; that he was in
favor of appropriating the funds and agreed there has been some mis-
understanding and lack of experience on the part of the Youth Commission;
that the City could best assist them by providing a definite budget.

COuncilman Helms then MOVED that the Youth Commission and the Arcadia
Beautiful Commission be directed to prepare and submit budgets for the
balance of the fiscal year. (Within 90 days). Motion seconded by
Councilman Considine and carried unanimously.
Mrs. Irene Graham, 1022 La Cadena, was advised to contact the City
Manager on her inquiry concerning a parade contemplated by the American
Legion Auxiliary.
Mrs. Edith Dunn, 101 Palm Drive, was advised to contact the City Clerk
concerning her question about the cost of weed abatement on her property.
She also referred to the assessed valuation of a parcel of property held
in trust and was advised the City has no control over establishing that
figure,
The request of Mrs. Irene G. Raschka for another extension of a non-
conforming use at 45 E. Duarte Road was considered. Council granted
her a six months extension on March 17, but she has been unable to
secure a tenant for the automobile repair shop during that time.
Council, on MOTION by Councilman Rage, seconded by Councilman
Considine and carried unanimously, granted her another three months
e~tension and went on record as opposing further extensions for the
nOn conforming use.
Recommendation of the City Manager and the Water Manager concerning the
employment of a consulting engineer to prepare plans and specifications
for the construction of a 24-inch transmission main in Baldwin Avenue
from Foothill Boulevard to Gloria Road. Discussion held on the possibility
of city staff doing the subject work which is proposed to cost approxi-
mately $6,500 if performed by a consulting engineer. The matter was
deferred until the regular meeting of September 15, 1970.

The City Manager explained that on June 2 Council had approved a

of Lampman and Associates be employed to produce the required study
report for the partially federally funded Traffic Operations Program
to Increase Capacity and Safety. He distributed copies of the
application for federal participation in the funding and the consul-
tant's agreement which had been reviewed by the State Division of
Highways and the Bureau of Public Roads. It conforms to the require-
ments of the Topics Program, On MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded
by Councilman Helms and carried on roll call vote as follows, the

Staff explained that due to the development of the Foothill Freeway
and local intersectional widening, certain utility work had been
performed by city forces at the intersection of Michillinda Avenue

owned street lighting system. The work has been completed at a total
cost of which did not exceed $450. The State cannot reimburse the
City for the cost without a legal basis for reimbursement, Whereupon

With reference to Joint Powers Agreement in connection with the
construction of the Santa Clara Bridge (Job #331) providing for an
equestrian tunnel as a part of the project, it was noted that the
original agreement anticipated that $25,000 would be adequate, however,
there were numerous delays beyond City control. The County Board of
Supervisors on July 14 took action to deposit an additional $15,000
with the City to pay the extra cost brought about by increases in
construction cost from the date in 1967 to 1970. An amendment to
the Agreement is now necessary. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman
Hage, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried on roll call vote as

sidewalk sale on September 19 was APPROVED subject to the review
of the specific details by the Director of Public Works. Parking
will be prohibited on both sides of Baldwin Avenue from Duarte
Road south to Naomi Avenue, The Association will barricade the
parking area.
The City Attorney explained the contents of a proposed ordinance
regulating noise caused by any air conditioning equipment, pump,
fan, or similar machinery on residential property. Operation of
any such machinery exceeding 55 decibels, measured at any point on
or beyond the property line of adjacent property, would be in
violation of this regulation as a-public nuisance.
Considerable discussion was held on terminology therein and the
measurement of noise. A representative of the Air Conditioning and
Reference Institute expressed concern about the requirement being
retroactive which is contemplated at the present time. He also
commented that in his opinion it would be difficult to meet the 55
decibels.
It being the consensus of Council that the matter should be opened
to a public hearing, same was set for September 15 (the next regular
meeting date) and the City Attorney was authorized to consult with
experts in the field during the interim.
