cial institutions -- the Chamber of Commerce, the local Board of

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, referred to the action taken
by Council at the pre-meeting concerning retaining architects to
prepare a preliminary design for a proposed Civic Center. He felt
Council has not spent sufficient time to know what it wants ... that
input from the people should be obtained. Council should decide
what facilities it really wants and where they should be located, for
instance, should a Senior Citizen Center be loc_i1:t~g ~ith the. Cj~
government building? He felt Council could run into a great deal
of trouble and, if that should happen, Council should be wi11jng to
accept the responsibility and not place the blame on the companies
involved or the City staff. '
Ed Zareh, 1051 Catalpa Road, voiced his concern over the delay in
time for a conference with Ca1trans in connection with the noise
emanating from the 210 Freeway. Mayor Hannah advised that Council
had taken action to retain J. J. Van Houten and had appropriated the
funds for his services ... that Counci1members Gi1b and Lojeski will
sit in on a meeting with Caltrans, Mr. Van Houten and City Manager
Watts.
