AliO IENCEPARTI CIPA nON
Herb, Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, referred to a newspaper article
regarding the Arcadia Convalescent 'Hospital at 1601 S. Baldwin Avenue.
owned and operated by Orlando Clarizio. He felt the reports were
exaggerated as he has visited the facility on several occasions and
found no evidence of the problems out1i.ned in the article. He felt
it would be unfair to charge Mr. Clarizio for extra fire protection
when the: Fire Department is paid by the taxpayers .,. if there ,is a
fire hazard, they should be there and not charge extra for it. He
has not noticed the alley ,being b10cked except on two occasions when
he visited, once with a truck and the other time when the fire:truck
was parked there. He suggested that Councilmembers go to the facility
ttl see for:'themselves what is taking place during this construction
period. He also made reference to the Methodist Hospital where a
. fire hazard.could exist inasmuch as it is a four story building with
pure' oxygen' tanks on each floor. He also suggested former Council.
member Pel1egrino mi9ht be able to mediate the problem with Mr.
Clarizio"
At this' point, the City Attorney said, in part, that a meeting had
been held with the Fire Chief and the matter appears to be on a ,
constructive road. Councilmember Gilb commented that thee is nothi~g'
to prevent members of the City Council from visiting the facility --
that it is a good suggestion.
Ed lareh,'IOSI Catalpa Road, advised that a group of the Committee,of
the Sound Barrier met recently to review the report of the new '
consultant -- they were pleased with the findings which appeared to I
agree with those of the former consultant. He said the Committee, as
a whole, would like to meet with Council Liaison Councilmember Gilb an,
the Director of Public Works. Such a meeting wi11 be arranged.

MATTERS FROM STAFF

MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
Attended the last School Board Meeting where a report was made on
the School's position on Redevelopment. The City Manager said he
had received a copy of the report, but it has not as yet been reviewed.
It will be in Thursday's NEWSLETTER.
Also, that Phil Scott said he would be interested in the possibility
of s tori ng a utomobil es on the former Ki ewit-Pacifi c property.
Had been talking with the person in charge of the grounds at the
Arcadia High School in regard to the all-weather track who was
concerned about possible vandalism of the track or the rubber mat
by persons riding motorcycles or even bicycles on it. Council-
member Chandler felt that since the City had invested a lot of money
in this track, there might be a better gating system. Alsa, the
fence was only 3 feet high and persons could put a motorcycle or
bicycle over the fence. Perha~s a higher fence (6-8 ft.) would serve
the purpose.
Said the City has already spent around $100,000 for that field and
it had been stated that the High School would be responsible for
securing it, Does not feel it is the City's responsibility to
spend more money on it. This is a poor time to talk of a better
fence,
