,
'. In response to a request from the Senior Citizen Commission
for Council's permission to solicit contributions from the
community I a "wish list" was complied and submitted for
various items which will be needed in the new Senior Center.
Councilmember Fasching suggested, in reference to the public
address sound system on the list, that Council should make
sure that a first class sound system be obtained that is a
permanent part of the building, Further, the sound system
should service all the speakers in the ceiling of the large
assembly room rather than a small portable unit as listed in
the "wish list", Mayor Young noted that the main assembly
room is divisible into four rooms which may be a problem for
a permanently installed sound system. Other discussion ensued
of the possible quantities needed of each item on the list;
what response could be expected from the community; the
concept of placing the name of the donor on some of the larger
items. It was the consensus of Council to grant permission
to the Senior Citizen Commission to approach the community
with the "Senior Center Wish List". Staff to prepare a gift
catalog for submission to Council for review and approval
prior to distribution to the community.

Proposals were solicited from architects for the design of the
expansion of Fire Station No, 2, located on Baldwin Avenue.
Seven proposals were received, Three were deemed by staff to
be best, Council will consider the presentation of one
architectural firm, as recommended by staff, as a Council
agenda item at a later date.
Based on preliminary sketches of the expansion, at staff
level, Santa Anita Race Track had been approached with the
possible need of a few feet of race track land for the
expansion, The large paramedic unit, staff reported, will be
housed inside of the building after the expansion which will
primarily service Fashion Park 'and the race track. The
discussion with track personnel did not produce an acceptable
trade-off for the City, Depending upon the architect's
design, staff concluded, the expansion may not require
additional land.
Mayor Young reminded Council of the change in location, for
the January 17 meeting of the San Gabriel Valley Association
of Cities, to the Monrovia Hilton Hotel, A large attendance
is expected, Mayor Young, as President of the Association,
will preside. One of the agenda items to be considered will
be the waste-by-rail system to the Eagle Mountain site. A
representative from the railroad will be present to answer
questions. Councilmember Gilb noted that he has several
questions he would like answered. A question and answer time
on the SGVAC agenda has been allotted for this subject, A
brief exchange then occurred of the transportation of the
trash to the rail pick-up stations, The estimate of the rates
for Arcadia, should waste-by-rail be implemented, staff noted,
would be double. A pick-up station site in San Gabriel Valley
has not been located as yet, Mayor Young reported,
