COUNCIL RECONVENED 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.

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.
