Superintendent of Schools, the High School, Police Chief Johnson,
PTA and Parent Alert.
Reference was made to the request of Linda Baum for permission to
represent the City officially in parades, events, and the like. Ms.
Baum is a trick horse rider. The City Attorney said he has received
some material from Ms. Baum which he has not had an opportunity to
review. However, it was the consensus of the Council that the request
be denied ... by permitting this, it would only be a forerunner of
many other requests for projects over which the City would have no
control and there is the possibility of liability on the part of the
City. It was MOVED by Councilmember Gilb, seconded by Councilmember
Young and CARRIED on roll call vote that the request be denied.

Council acknowledged the communication from R. Pete Watson concerning
promoting Waste-To-Energy as a viable option for disposal of solid
waste. At this time Council indicated it is not interested.
TENNIS Counci1member Gi1b stated that neither the City Council nor the
COURTS/POL:! Planning Commission have been approached about a tennis club, polo,
FIELD etc., being constructed in the Los Angeles County Debris Basin. It
seems a great deal of concern has been expressed by residents in the
area probably due to an article that appeared in the Los Angeles Times,
San Gabriel Valley Section. Councilmember Gilb would hope the local
press would make it known that this project has never been presented
to the tity. Counci1member Lojeski agreed a's he has received many
calls and inquiries about this. Counci1members Hannah and Pellegrino'
also recited some of their experiences in this regard. In response
to an inquiry, staff advised that information of this project has never'
/reached them.
Counci1member Young addressed this ... gardeners running their b10we~s~
for so long... and felt perhaps something should be done about gaso1ih~
blowers... that electric blowers are much lower in noise. Ways of
alleviating or reducing the problem were discussed. Staff will take I
and process complaints and the matter will continue to be studied.
Council entered a CLOSED SESSION, reconvened and adjourned immediate1'
thereafter sine die.
