CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS - City Manager Aiassa: We have a WALNUT CREEK WASH group of twelve property owners present that have a problem relative to our channel im- provements. A petition has been filed with us and we have forwarded it to the Los Angeles Flood Control District. There is proposed condemnation proceedings on property between Azusa and Lark Ellen Avenues, south -of the Wash. If the.:plan is carried out, it would C. C: 2-27-61 Page Seven CHANNEL -IMPROVEMENTS - WALNUT CREEK WASH - Continued City Manager Aiassa - Continued: necessitate the demolishing of garages and swimming pools, and other things such as devaluation of homes involved, as stated in the petition. There are approximately twenty names on this petition. We met- with two of the property owners, both are present tonight. We forwarded this matter to Mr. Salsbury,.the Chief Engineer of the County Flood Control District. Mr. Dosh has been working with Mr. Salsbury, and it could be a matter of about ten feet that might be salvaged by putting up a slight retaining wall, and this is what they are now working on. However, an analysis must be made before we can get a full report on this situation which will possibly be by Wednesday or Thursday. Mayor Heath: all right, but if it should prove then perhaps you can work with two mittee, to see what might be done. to wait until we get a full report SCHEDULED MATTERS HEARINGS EASTERLY ANNEXATION NO. 167 Hearing of Protests from February 14, 1961.

Hearing of Protests as required by Resolution No. 1997 adopted by the City Council on January 23, 1961. Hearing continued Mayor Heath stated that this was the time and place for the contin- uation of the hearing of protests relative to Easterly Annexation No. 167 held over from the last regular City Council meeting of February 14, 1961, when, at that time, we had one protest from the Forest Lawn Cemetery Company. At that time there was considerable discussion concerning the method of arriving at the assessed valuation of the property, and it was held open for further dis- cussion tonight. Mayor Heath stated that all those desiring to present testimony should rise and be sworn in by the City Clerk. Mayor Heath asked if the protestants desired to present any further testimony at this time, and it was indicated that the protestants would rest on previous testimony presented, but would reserve the right to rebut any testimony to be presented. Mr. Allen Schneidermann of 1102 N. Nadia Avenue, Whittier, Calif- ornia identified himself as Deputy County Assessor in the office of the County Assessor of the County of Los Angeles. Mr. Schneidermann was questioned by the City Attorney, Mr. Williams, as to his famil- iarity with the whole area known as the Bayl(Fy Ranch lying generally east of this City, as well as the 100 acre portion, whether he had worked on the assessment of this area and how said assessments had been made and amounts that had been indicated. Page Eight ''EA"S:TERLY,: ANNEXATION -NO. 167 Continued Mi,G.lenn.R. Watson of 433 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, identi- f`ied himself as the attorney for three of the property owners involved --in-the easterly annexation No. 167, and questioned Mr. Schneidermann Sr relative to a request made for pro -ration, the difference between a request for segregation and pro -ration, and whether the pro -ration --had 'been done and used. Mr. William D. Moore of 433 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, identi- fied himself as an attorney representing the Forest Lawn Cemetery Company, and cross-questioned Mr. Schneidermann in relation to the matters brought out by Mr. Watson, and also on the matter of the only access being to the 100 acres making it the most valuable piece from the area. Mr. Watson, formerly speaking as an attorney, was sworn in as a wit- ness and proceeded to present testimony relative to his visit to the County Assessors Office, work sheets and maps he had examined at that time, and made reference to the various notations he had made as to the various evaluations placed on the area in various sections which he indicated on the aerial map placed upon the board. Mr. Priest, representing Forest Lawn, voiced his objection to the testimony as being presented by Mr. Watson concerning the facts and figures he had examined in the County Assessors Office, in that it was pure hearsay and would not be admissable to court, so Council could or should not hear it. However, the protest was overruled by the City Attorney indicating that Council should permit Mr. Watson to proceed in that every effort, by subpoena and other ways, had been made to get the best evidence in these matters and some ink- lings of what is being desired to find out here had been given by the previous witness and if what Mr. Watson states ties to that testimony it should be heard, and that the records contain inform- ation we want and can't obtain, and that Council can hear testimony of what those records contain. After Mr. Watson presented his testimony, Mr. Moore proceeded to cross -,question him regarding various statements made, as did the City Attorney. Mr. Priest offered the aerial photograph map as an exhibit and it was designated by Mayor Heath that it should be known as Exhibit ►r B rr The City Attorney submitted for the record that a subpoena had -been served upon Mr. Schneidermann and indicated the reasons for doing so and was questioned by Mr. Moore as whether this was ordered to be done at a regular meeting of Council. Although at first the answer was no, it had not been so ordered at a regular meeting, it was later indicated by Councilman Snyder that reference should be made to the motion as stated by the Council at the previous meeting on this matter, and the authorization given to staff in that motion. At the request of Councilman Towner, Mr. Moore proceeded to sum- marize the position of the protestants and ending with the sug- gestion that Council discontinue annexation proceeding, in that ' a majority protest had been received, since this was the most valuable land in the whole area. Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Barnes, and carried, that the hearing be held open to a special meeting of the City Council to be held on March 16, 1961, at 7:30 P.M. at the City Hall, and that the staff be authorized to proceed in accord- ance with'the Council's directive of obtaining such further evidence as may be necessary.

Sugar) Creek Wash, north of Sawyer APPROVED Avenue. Approval of Request to reclassify from Zone R-A to Zone R-3 recommended by Planning Commission Resolution No. 1003. Maps were presented and the City Clerk stated that the Notice of Public Hearing had been published in the West Covina Tribune on February 15, 1961 and that on February 15, 1961, fourteen notices had been mailed to all persons in the area. Resolution No. 1003 of the Planning Commission was read. Mayor Heath opened the public hearing and stated that all those desiring to present testimony should rise and be sworn in by the City Clerk. IN FAVOR Mr. L. Sugar, applicant, stated that he had nothing further to state, but would answer any questions Council might have. There being no further testimony presented, the hearing was declared closed. Councilman Towner- Isn't this area subject to general study by the Planning Commission as to what to do south of Cameron, and this R-3 zoning was determined as the best use of the property at this location? Mr. Joseph- Yes, and there are a half dozen( study plans to indicate the extent of their work on this and what'you see on the board in color is just what the Commission felt was the most appropriate here. Councilman Barnes - Mr. Joseph - Councilman Towner: What is the depth? Approximately 300 feet. I question whether the Commission considered this zoning in con- nection with the existing master study made by Eisner. Mr. Joseph- This study was made previous too any contact with Mr. Eisner. I • have had talks with Mr. Shetz of Mr. Eisner's office, and spoke to him of the Commissions decision here, and although he would not commit himself, he did not take a contrary view of this. Councilman Brown - If R-3 is granted here, he would - still have to submit a precise plan? ® L� C: C. 2-27-61 ZONE CHANGE NO. 175 - Continued .Mr-.

Lane) APPROVED They never considered to con- tinue Walnut Creek Parkway west of Sunset? It was discussed at meetings. Weave never had Walnut Creek Parkway extended thus far. LOCATION: Southeast corner of Ardilla Avenue and Clydewood Avenue. 1-1/2 -+ Acres - 6 Lots - Area District I Planning Commission recommended approval February 15, 1961. Maps were presented and the Conditions imposed were read by the City Clerk. Councilman Barnes: Mr. Joseph: this line is established, Councilman Towner: Are there any buildings on this portion marked "not a part" ? Yes, there is a home on there and that is why the Commission wanted to make sure that if it wouldn't make this non -conforming. wondering why Ardilla was left out? Mr. Dosh: I recall a statement in cond- itions that there be improve- ments on Clydewood and I am They are in already. Motion by Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Towner, and carried, that Tentative Map of Tract No. 26483 be approved subject to the recommendations of the Planning Commission. REVIEW.OF PLANNING COMMISSION It was indicated by the City ACTION OF FEBRUARY 15, 1961 Clerk that Precise'Plan No. 257 was being appealed, which was the First Federal Savings and Loan of Alhambra, in that although it was approved by the Planning Commission, it is being appealed relative to Condition No. 5 with respect to improvements on Sunset and Service Avenues. n L� C. C. 2-27-61 Page Eleven "RECREATION, AND. PARKS COMMISSION- "BOND:.ISSUE The action taken by the,Commission at their meeting of February 23, 1961, relative to this matter - was as follows-, "It is the recommendation of the West Covina Recre- ation and Park Commission that the Bond Issue be submitted to the City Council as originally proposed in November, 1960 for their consideration, and with the request for immediate action to be taken due to the June 6 deadline; and their deletions, if any, to be only on a monetary basis with respect to the total amount." (Note-, ."monetary basis" refers to a flat amount that would be deleted from the original $1,250,000.) Mayor Heath: Is there any further discussion on this particular motion regarding the bond issue? Councilman Towner: I think that one question was answered by Mr. Gingrich relating to anticipated increase of operational cost. Estimates were made of operating cost of items proposed when completed and in operation, and summarized it by stating that increased operating cost can be offset by capital outlay for additions and improvements used in recent budgets. Operational cost will be no larger than what we are now spending on capital improvements, and if that fact is correct, we could go along and forget that in our considerations. Councilman Brown: In the study session, it was my understanding, and I believe the Minutes would so indicate, that nobody had anything concrete to take off the bond issue, so it was submitted as it previously had been. They didn't want to cut any items by monies only. Mayor Heath: Some members of the Commission seemed to favor dividing the proposal into three sections. I am interested in that aspect of it, but I see that the recommend- ation from the Commission, to us has no consideration of that. Councilman Brown-, There was very little discussion on this particular phase of it, but they did break it down putting it in three phases, so I believe it would be indicated as all right and I could buy it on the whole, and it was possibly a good idea. Mayor Heath: But the recommendation would seem to be one lump sum. Councilman Brown: They are talking about money • now not as.it would appear on the ballot. Councilman Barnes-, I believe the matter was brought up by me and there was a question of whether it was legal to break it down. Is it legal to break the bond issue down to say a, b, and c and specify an amount for each of these parts? .BOND."ISSUE Continued .'Mayor heath: • ,Mr. Williams: if only one item passed, it could Councilman Browne Councilman Towner: into three parts in that the total would be limited. Page Twelve Take out swimming pools from this and have it Item 3 on the ballot. Yes, it would be legal to break it down. The voters could approve one, two or three, and legally proceed without the others. The only point is you might run into trouble where we would feel we might have to acquire more property. That is one of the problems, and there is another in that it would be binding us in breaking it down sum you would have expendable Councilman Barnes: I don't think so, in that you could put park improvements on present park sites on A, swimming pools could be B, and additional land acquisition could be C, and these costs could be broken down between the three parts. Councilman Brown: What if you pass B and not C? What if you needed land for swimming pools? Councilman Barnes: In the breakdown, this should be thought out, but in breaking this down by improvements on present existing park sites as A, then used as an illustration, B would be pools and C land. You wouldn't have to do that. You could put land acquisition as B. Councilman Brown; It wouldn't make any difference if they passed C. Mayor Heath: If one particular issue passed, it would indicate people wanted, say, swimming pools, and if passed, land acquisition it would indicate they wanted that particular thing and didn't want the Parks and Recreation Department to put the money anywhere else. This divided type of ballot would tell us what the people would desire and then can use money for that. Councilman Towner: consider where the money might go. There is merit in that, but this program covers a period of years and I am wondering if we should Mayor Heath-, We originally requested the Com- mission to furnish us with a recommendation to review the past bond and furnish us with recommendations of not only what they wanted in this new bond attempt, but how they wanted it presented, when and in order of priority. Now if the Commission is presenting this as an answer to our original request, I would gather they desire no changes and do not want to delete anything except possibly to cut down on the amount of money. 0 C • C.,.,227,-61... . `BOHB:ISSUF,- Continued Page Thirteen Councilman Towner: Possibly they should be informed as to our intentions and at the same time, I do not think we should bind ourselves completely as to how we should spend the money and when faced with this issue, we should possibly put it all in one bond issue and then indicate to the people of the City what the cur- rent plans are to spend money for items in the report, but leave the City legally open to spend it elsewhere as it becomes better for the Public to spend it elsewhere, relative to Parks and Recreation. Mayor Heath: This is quite a bit of money and includes swimming pools, and I feel that many people who have their own pools would not feel they would want to be burdened with a bond issue for City pools that they wont use. If you take them out and make it a separate issue, there is more chance of getting the other things we need rather than lose the whole thing. Councilman Towner: Is it necessary in presenting such an issue to state speci- fically what the money will be spent for? Mr. Williams: Not specifically. You can state it in fairly general terms, but you must stay within the terms are. You do not have to state exactly what you ware eVoin to build . g g Councilman Towner: If you broke it down into three parts, we would have to desig- nate these three parts definitely so the people would know where these monies will go, here, here and here. Can we break it down into three parts and leave ourselves enough leeway? Councilman Barnes: Could you say park improvements other than swimming pools? Mr. Williams: If you told whoever was drawing the bond issue up what you desire to accomplish. primarily say swimming pools, but if it passes you do not want to put every cent of it exactly in swimming pools. You could have swimming pools and other improvements in public parks. Councilman Brown. - specific things to do so would be If you had three issues, you couldn't take from one to put on another and if you had three misrepresentation. Councilman Towner: Possibly, it would be better present the bond issue as a whole, place it on the ballot in general terms but for public relations give the items that we intend to use the money for. This would be giving the public the best information we would have'on what we'think we will spend on recreation. to C., C.- 2'.-2T�61 BOND ISSUE: --Continued Councilman Barnes: i at all, and I think this is what it what is felt to be most important, they want the most. —Councilman Towner: Page Fourteen I think we should go on the ballot for three different items. I'd rather have half a pie than none would do. The vote will be on and the public will tell us what Perhaps it could be broken down into two factions rather than three, and it would still give some choice in the matter. I would have these suggestions in relation to the over all program and possibly solve cutting the total amount without indicating you could so bind the Commission on how they spend the money. There is indicated spray pools, or wading pools, which involves $6,000.00, and.I am in favor of cutting that out. I feel, among other things, that they are more of a hazard than anything else, so that is $6,000.00 that, in my opinion, could be deleted. I think shuffleboards, unless the slab can be used for something additional, doesn't get sufficient use to warrant spending $3,600.00 for them. Multi -use and equipment rooms at Palm View and Cameron Parks can be deleted for $10,000.00, because there is going to be space included for equipment in the major community buildings proposed in these parks. We can leave in the $3,000.00 item at Orange and Merced and eliminate the $50,000.00 item community building at Orange and Merced. These things aren't in the way of being binding on the Commission, but a way of arriving at an alternate figure. The senior citizens program is an excellent one, but I do not believe that this city is now in need of such a program and such facilities are furnished through churches and other organizations at present. I do not believe there is sufficient population in this category at present to warrant that expenditure. Lawn bowling, also, is primarily a senior citizens program and there is $15,000.00 for that. Eliminate the tennis courts, because of such use permitted at high schools, unless this is to be considered for night use which can't be permitted at the school. The civic auditorium could be deleted and you end up with $155,000 on basic standards, $690,000 on improvements; additional and special facilities, $105,000; then delete one swimming pool for $150,000 south of the freeway, and you would have'a total bond issue of $800,000.00 instead of $1,250,000. Mayor Heath: If we go for lump sum, I go for that cutting, but if we break it down three ways, I would go for the original full amount. C . C..._ 2-2.7--61.. Page Fifteen .BOrTD.:;:ISSLTE.< - . Continued Councilman Snyder: I would go with the deletions indicated, and we could possibly pass the $800,000 amount and . should do it in one lump sum, not two. We would still be getting .a great deal of improvements over what we have now if we can pass `'the two swimming pools, get acquisition of more land and finishing of parks. Mayor Heath: My first preference is leave it as it is and divide it into two or more sections. The other preference would be to do it in one lump sum for $800,000. I feel we are getting off to a bad start here because the meeting we held was a good one and now we still seem to be in a state of con- fusion and haven't done anything. Councilman Towner: The only state of confusion might be the total amount, and if it is one bond issue or three. If we meet those two issues there is no need to become confused over it. Mayor Heath: However, this answer from the Recreation and Park Commission is confusing to me because after the general discussion we had I feel it is not along the lines of the general discussion. Councilman Brown-, I think it is right along the lines discussed. Councilman°Barnes: There ei%_e three parts indicated. Councilman Brown: I think it was agreed they would go along with breaking it down into three parts and would go along with that rather than cut the amount of money. Councilman Snyder: this is more likely to pass with a item. A'three part bond issue might bring suspicion of trying to put something over and I think smaller amount and a single Councilman Brown: I will go along with the majority of Council on this, but I would like to express my opinion that I do not think the public is going to pass any bond issue. We have tried it for seven years now and we haven't succeeded, and I do not believe they will vote for a bond issue even if it was for $10.00, as people are getting tired of voting taxes onto themselves. I think no matter what the amount is, it should be one issue on the bond ballot. Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Snyder, and carried unanimously that the Recreation and Park Commission be auth- orized to proceed with a Recreation and Park Bond Issue in the amount of-$800,000.00 with the election to be held on June 6, 1961, for the acquisition and improvement of public parks and construction of recreational facilities, including two swimming pools. C . C...,.=.2-2'-1, Page Sixteen BOHD:: ISS TE.., - Continued, "...-Mayor Heath voted "No" in that he felt the issue should be.for the full amount as indicated ($1,250,000) and should be broken' into three sections so that part of it can probably be obtained'if not possibly the whole thing. Councilman Brown stated that he agreed we should,:.go,, for the whole thing, but he felt ,.that the whole thing would .not .be approved and would so vote "yes" on this motion and Councilman Barnes stated he felt the same. Councilman Snyder also indicated he favored the motion. Mayor Heath then changed his vote to a "yes" vote, in view of the feelings and facts as presented by other members of Council. TACKLE FOOTBALL PROGRAM An action taken by the Recreation and Parks Commission at their meeting of February 23, 1961, relative to this matter was as follows: "Report to the City Council that the Recreation and Parks Commission has acted on their request for a study and method of perpetuating the tackle football program in the City of West Covina, and hereby recommends that the area in Cortez Park, as shown on the attached plot plan, be prepared as a permanent field location for the West Covina Junior Football Confer- ence, and that the City participate in an estimated amount of $300.00 with City labor and equipment for the initial development of this site." Councilman Brown-, but in reconsidering it, there is more cubic yards to be moved cost could be met, and a better tract rather than have it done Councilman Snyder: Mayor Heath-. Councilman Snyder: Councilman Browne Councilman Snyder-. At the time this was before the Commission, I thought strongly of doing it with City forces, would seem to be indications there than first indicated and I feel the job done, b®y:letting it out to con- with'City forces. Where do they practice now? Cameron Park. Has the City ever done this for any Little League Parks? Yes, although not quite in this manner, but in other ways. I think we are over -crowding Cortez Park. Were there any other sites considered? Councilman Brown-, This is all in lawn and you will only have side marker strips. Councilman Snyder: Yes, but it won't be lawn long. Mr. Gingrich: This is the largest park site in the City. We surveyed other sites and this is at the east end of the park. There is no other type of development here beyond the fire ring that.is in there. This would only be used three months out of the year for football and would be a free type play area the remainder of the year. They will eventually have bleachers which they would like to put on the south side of the field, which .is not a satisfactory area for any other type of development and these would be.permanent bleachers with possibly temporary ones on the north side Page Seventeen TACKLE'. FOOTBALL , PROGRA•M,�-,-- Continued Mr. .Gingrich (Continued): When the Teen -Kan -Teen is com- pleted at Cameron Park, the walls will extend onto the area they now.play upon. There is another 80 yard field proposed at Orange - Merced, which will also be used, since with the expansion of this football conference, they won't be able to play on only one field. So we.are thinking in terms of more than just one site. Councilman Barnes-, I would go with their recommend- ation plus having someone from outside do the necessary work as we do not have the proper equipment. Councilman Snyder: I still think it is too big a chunk of land to use out of Cortez Park and should go in one of the other parks. Councilman Towner: It will give the park more use instead of less use in this area as now there are only a few children who wander down into that area. Councilman Snyder: I am absolutely not for it in this park. I think it is the wrong place for it. City Manager Aiassa-, There is no money budgeted. If you want to expend funds they must show where it is coming from. Councilman Towner: Perhaps the football conference can go out and find a D-8 Cat. somewhere to do this work. The Little Leagues in the past have invested to improve their sites themselves and I can't see why this football conference can't do it, too. , Mayor Heath: I think it is an important enterprise, and it would be good if the football conference would do this. However, we have contributed some money to parks where Little League has been placed, and I think that we should possibly contribute something here to football. Councilman Brown-, This is a good program, and I am in favor of spending the money. If some item may be waived in favor of this, it may help to defray some of the cost, but there is a lot of equipment around the City with the work that is going on and someone might be willing to donate the machine if . arrangements can be made for a competent operator. Mayor Heath: Is there any item in the Recreation and Parks budget they might like to switch? City Manager Aiassa-, I would like to delay this matter until your next meeting so I can meet with the Director. C. C. 2-2:7-.61: . Page Eighteen ...TACKLE FOOTBALL PROGRAM,- Continued Councilman Snyder: I would like to hold this over, too.. I am not against the use as such, but there might be • found a more level site somewhere else that wouldn't need to be graded. • Motion by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Brown, and carried, that the City Manager be instructed to review this matter as to whether another site might be found that wouldn't have to be graded, but if it is insisted this is the only site, there be found possible ways of finding money so this matter might go ahead if possible. CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS PROTECT NO. C-95 Sunset and Francisquito Avenue street improvements. City Manager Aiassa:, The Thriftimart stated they would participate doing some street improvements so as to protect the adjacent property owner on Sunset, and the property owners wanted the secondary street improved instead. Present improvements on Sunset.Avenue are not complete, even though the back secondary service street is. The Bassett School didn't want to put street improvements on Sunset, but will put in curbs, gutters and sidewalks if the City would pave. This was reviewed by the City Council. We are talking about a pretty big project here. These people have a problem because it is a real high area and then all of a sudden it drops off, especially for egress and ingress. The question facing Council is whether to continue aid, improve the frontage service road to Bassett School site and then eventually Sunset Avenue. at City expense, because it will be in no-man's land or it would be a street between a street. Councilman Brown: Councilman Barnes. - and houses set back so far that Why not improve Sunset instead of the frontage road? Wasn't this because of the depth of lots?' They were so deep in this location they put the service road in? City Manager Aiassa: These were put in under County plan requirement, service road with Sunset 80 or 100 feet. The houses were built under County standards and then the area was annexed to the City. The development probably got these done under County conditions, which were lower conditions than the City's and, afterward, annexing to the City. Councilman Towner: City Manager.Aiassa: ment act like the 1911 Act, etc. What about improvement act procedure? That would only be for curbs and gutters and street improve- ments under some street improve- C. C. 2-27-61 PROJECT NO...C-95 - Continued Councilman Townero Page Nineteen Do they want to do that? Mr. Dosh: We have no committment from them. • Their first feelings were that a cash deposit was difficult for some of them to make. We tried this same thing four or five years ago but couldn't get any interest, as it was felt the cash deposit was too much. Mayor Heath: Do you people feel the majority of the people would now go for 1911 Act improvement? Mr. Howard Baker: We would like to see what Council proposes --facts and figures. We will go along with anything that we can build a driveway to join. It is utterly impossible when it rains one inch for us to get in or out and gravel doesn't help. Councilman Towner: You would be willing to go to a 1911 Act on curbs and gutters on both sides of that frontage road?' Mr. Baker: That would leave a mud strip in the center. Councilman Brown: The only proper improvement to put in at this time would be Sunset, forget the frontage road, then they can put driveways out to Sunset. Councilman Barnes: It isn't their responsibility on Sunset as a major street. City Manager Aiassa: Let's put it this way --the only way to force it is by 1911 Act. Councilman Barnes: On the frontage road, not on Sunset. City Manager Aiassa: We can't do anything about Sun- set or the frontage service road because it is a finished sub- division. Improvements acts are the only method left. Councilman Towner: It seems appropriate to put in curb and gutter wherever we can and run it up and down between Delvale and Francisquito and I think that is a good solution to the problem. Councilman Brown: Put in curb and gutter at this time and later on we can enforce turnarounds.. City Manager Aiassa; It would give egress with improved driveways into Sunset, but event- ually they would have to have turn- arounds so as not to back up into a major highway. If Council has no objection, we might meet with these property owners and show them maps and there might be different conclusions for the next meeting of the City Council. C."C. 2-27-6.1 Page Twenty STREET. SWEEPER Councilman Towner: I read the report on this, and it boils down to good and bad points on them all. I would, however, be inclined to the Wayne as we know how —it-operates and we may be able to replace parts between them. Only • difficulty is that it seems to stand pretty high and hits street trees. City Manager Aiassa: It has three wheels, and I feel that rear wheel takes a beating. Councilman Brown: My only objection to a new sweeper is that I do not like running a sweeper and getting work out for only six hours when we spend this much money. City Manager Aiassa: If you wish, we can have two sweepers going all the time, 7 or 8 hours a day continuously and use the third one if one breaks down if that is consensus of Council. Councilman Brown: The machine operates only 12 hours when you allow time for servicing and steam cleaning it, which is four hours of a two 'man shift. Motion by Councilman Barnes, seconded by Councilman Towner, and carried, that the City Manager be authorized to call for bids on a new street sweeper. Councilman Brown voting 4No." Councilman Brown: make a difference. City Manager Aiassa: Mobile is going to change their whole operation and if the vac- uum sweeper is successful it will We can see how the entire pattern looks after reviewing bids and then we can decide and reject all bids if we want to. AMBULANCE CONTRACT EXTENSION We have had communications with Mr. Don Means to carry this to July 1, 1961, and the County will go along with it. The July 1 fiscal year will work out better than the calendar year and I believe he will have some changes to request at that time. Motion by Councilman Barnes, seconded by Councilman Brown, and carried, that the ambulance contract with Mean's Ambulance Service be extended to July 1, 1961.

There is a buyer for this property who is going to file a precise plan for a general use building needing 20,000 square feet and there is a pos- sibility this cutting across some of this property might Jeopardize the use as the large area is needed, and also there would probably not be enough parking area because of it. Mr. Joseph indicated that this party had been advised that the Plan- ning Commission was going to hold public hearing on this matter. It was the consensus that nothing could be done about this matter at this time until recommendations and hearings are held before the Commission relative to Valinda.
