A communication has been m:eived from a law firm on behalf of a competing bidder who is of the opinion there may be some flaw in the bidding process. After a preliminaIy review. it is the City Anomey's belief that this is an erroneous protest in that the basis for it has to do with some minor procedural ilems that are nonsubstantiw.

"T t. ~ tt (- J : ~ ~ .: ) ALU~NCEPARTIC~ATION Jerry Selmer. 55 East Arthur Avenue. stated. in part. that he has been an Arcadia resIdent for thirty-five years, Along wilh many olhers. he IS opposed to the City Chaner changes regarding the Library whicb are on lhe Council agenda this everung for consideration. Over the years lhere has been a successful history of Library operauons and administration on a quasi independent basis, There is no need to change It. The proposed amendments would destroy lhe current unity of command by remo\;ng lhe Cbief Administrator of the Library, the City LIbrarian. from lhe jurisdiction of lhe Board of Trustees. and plaang him under lhe City Manager, While lhe amendment speaks of lhe independence of the Board in maners of book selection. this may be effectively nullified on a de facto basis by removing the independence of lhe City Librarian and lhe Board's conuol over him. Council's own Chaner Revision Committee was nOl in full agreement on this matter; it was a 3-2 vote. The only legitimate question in this package is wbetbcr or not rank and file Library employees sbould be in the classified service. This is a meet-andoQ)nfer item wilh the employees' union representative, If agreement on the issue is reached, it sbould be placed on lhe ballot as a separate issue; and nOl be mixed in wilh other maners, Mr, Selmer's purpose tonight is to let Council know that there is and will be substantial opposition [0 lhcse anti-library mCa5lllCS throughout the community, We do nol need or want change solely for the sake of change. PUBLIC HEARING Recently, lhe curm1l owner of the Save-Most Self Storage property located al 5630 Peck Road discovered through a property survey that a portion of his SllW:lIIIe is built over lhe street right-of-way, The owner is concerned about this situation. and is requesting vacation of the overlapping portion to correct the problem.
