CAT,T, Present: Mayor Heath, Councilmen Adams, Towner, Barnes, Snyder Others Present: Mr. George Aiassa, City Manager Mr. Robert Flotten, City Clerk Mr. Harry Co Williams, City Attorney Mr. Thomas Dosh, Public Services Director Mr. Harold Joseph, Planning Director APPROVAL OF MINUTES November 27, 1961 - Corrected as follows: Page 26, paragraph 1, the last line of the statement by Mayor Heath should read "I favor Plan A, etc.,`@ instead of "I favor Plan B, etc." as shown. On Page 30, relative to the statements made by Mr. Kritchevsky in • regard to the City Manager, paragraph 5 Mr. Aiassa stated that the City Manager did not discuss anything pertaining to the police and fire department protection in study session and that he was quite surprised to see this statement. What had been stated had been in relation to the general plan and if anyone is not clear as to what was said he would clear his stand relative to it. Mr. Aiassa fur- ther went on to say that the reason he is making this statement in regard to this statement by Mr. Kritchevsky is that he was not present at the meeting at which this was presented to enable him to defend and clarify the matter pertaining to himself.

RECREATION AND PARKS Mayor Heath reviewed a list of items presented to members of Council relative to the actions of the Recreation and Parks Commission to be placed on file.

He had a meeting with this gentleman and he asked theMayor to,assure Council that he has no political aims or desires except to complete these facilities in the quickest and best way. He is willing to listen to any recommendations or comments which the Council may have on this matter and he would like Council to help in any way that they possibly can by boosting this program, and that he will give to this program everything that he can give to it. The Mayor further indicated that the report is quite complete and it shows that -4- 0 Co Co 12-11-61.

VARIANCE NO, 363 Barker Bros., Inca APPROVED AS STIPULATED LOCATION: Service Avenue, between Richland and Sunset Avenues. Request to reduce required number of parking stalls in Zone C-2 denied by Planning Commission Resolution No. 1119. Appealed'by the applicant October 26, 1961. Held over from November 13, 1961 to November 27, 1961 and continued to December 11, 1961 at applicant's request. The City Clerk read the resolution of the Planning Commission. Mayor Heath opened the public hearing and all those desiring to pre- sent testimony were sworn in by the City.Clerko IN FAVOR Mr. Jo Gilchrist, Coldwater, We have been before Council pre - Banker & Company viously in.a mutual attempt with the City to build a business dis- trict for the East San Gabriel Valley here in West Covina. On this matter now before you, we will review, briefly, what has happened. This is the block in question. This is the unimproved corner of Rich- land Avenue and the.S & H Green Stamp Store location. Originally, when we appeared before the Planning Commission, the variance covered 357 feet, and we presented the explanation that a furniture store re- quired a great deal less parking than a usual retail type of opera- tion. Mr. Petrie from Barker Brothers is present, and he has figures • to support that claim. In our original hearing, the concern, insofar as the Planning Commis- sion was concerned, was this area here which use was determined. As a result of the original hearing we went back to a revised real estate transaction which has been done now and we are talking only about 200 feet of the property in here 140 feet over here to be used for Barker Brothers two=story building of 42,000 square feet area. They have enough parking for them to do business. When we spoke of the 60,000 square feet of building area the need was 75 cars. When we reduced Co Ca 12-11-61 VARIANCE NO, 363 - Continued Mr. Jo Gilchrist - Continued Page Seven the size of the store to 42,000 square feet it was felt that they • can get by, adequately, with 50 to 52 cars. We believe that in granting, the variance is to allow and accomplish this construction. We feel that the parking is completely adequate from our standpoint and we request you grant this variance, We have worked closely with the staff and feel they are convinced that the requirements of a fur- niture store is a great deal less than the average retail type store use. We are not asking for variance on this.60 feet° In here we will go with your code requirements and have no intended use for that property at this time and it will be controlled by your parking ordi- nance so far as that is concerned, so we are talking of a variance on the 140 feet. Mr; Petrie for We are asking for something dif- Barker Brothers ferent now than what we asked be- fore the Planning.Commissiono We figure a store of 42,000 square feet will do about $35.00 in business a foot. If we do $30.00 that is not good and if we do $40.00 it would be extremely good so we have taken what we feel is an average, $35.00, a foot. Our Long Beach store has 45,000 square feet and Pasadena has 45,000 square feet and Crenshaw the same. In Pasadena, with that footage, we are doing over one million eight hundred thousand dollars worth of business and have 50 parking spaces which is,.adequate for this use. We have no parking problems. The Long Beach store, doing a- bout one million dollars worth of business, has 100 parking places but that is in cooperation with others, but with the employees, it leaves about 50 spaces for customer parking in actuality. In the Crenshaw area we do one million four hundred and seventy-one thous- and dollars worth of business and use only 30 parking places there which is what is allowed to use How can we do that? The reasons are that, differing from other stores, the average sale runs about $100.00. In our trade paper a recent statement was made relative to large shop- ping centers and how unfair it is to charge a furniture store with the same amount of parking as they charge other retail stores. We know from our own history just what we need, so prior to our appearance be- fore the Planning Commission' we talked with Mr. Joseph and had photo- graphs which we passed around, taken at our Los Angeles store on a Saturday showing the number of stalls for that store. We then took the Van Nuys and the Santa Monica stores. The Santa Monica store has 22,500 square feet with 20 parking spaces and does a million dollars worth of business. It shows what our needs would be and how different it is from any other type of retail store business. We wouldn't de- sire to build and obtain financing and then not have adequate parking for ourselves, Mr. Gilchrist: We have assembled figures on fur- niture stores other than Barker Brothers. There is one in Santa Ana with 48,000 square feet having 27 spaces, Chandlers has 47,000 square feet and 23 spaces, another has 57,000 square feet with 25 spaces and one in Pomona has 16,900 square feet with 9000 square feet of parking. This is a relatively true picture throughout this type of industry in that parking is far less as to requirements than other retail uses. Mayor Heath questioned with a different plan and other information added would Council desire to hold this over and not close the hearing at the present time. -7- Co Co 12-11-61 Page Eight Councilman Barnes felt that there would seem to be a substantial - change in the area and that perhaps the Commission should see this again, He felt that it'might be in order to have them do so. Councilman Towner asked what the area is on the application and Mr. • Gilchrist indicated .it was on 140 feet adjacent to the S & H-building with the line coming back to the point he designated and with a two- story building constructed, on here the number of spaces shown.on the plan. is about 65 cars. Originally on this area there were 94 stalls, total of 94 in here, and this is about 7/10ths of that number, about 65. Councilman Barnes questioned as to whether the statement was made that this would meet City requirements and Mr. Gilchrist stated no, it does not but it meets the requirements, and more, of Barker Brothers to do the amount of business anticipated for this store. Mayor Heath asked if this was the full depth of the property or only the length of the building, that 140 feet, and Mr. Gilchrist indicated it was depth of the property° Councilman Barnes asked what would be our requirements for that par- ticular square footage of floor space and how many spaces are shown on the plan. Mr. Joseph stated the spaces shown are between 65 and 69 and the normal commercial operation would requite 280 spaces. Mr. Aiassa stated requirements are about a 3 to 1 ratio. Councilman Adams opinioned that this seemed to be the same problem as previously regarding spaces, but Mayor Heath stated that if you worked this backward, taking the million dollar a year business with the aver- age sale $100.00 and this building would be open 2000 hours a year, al- though possibly they would be open more than that, they would bnly use about 5 stalls but that is assuming that everyone going into the buil- ding buys. Throw in a factor for non -buyers and it can be seen that in this business there should be no more than probably 20 stalls needed. But, he questioned, what will happen if this business moves out.? Councilman Snyder commented on the ability to build in Santa Ana, Santa Monica, Crenshaw, etc., in that they must have a different ordinance requirement from ours. But Mr. Gilchrist indicated, in essence, that in information received from various cities with businesses of this type it had been indicated that in the majority of cases a variance had been needed to reduce this parking and is why this had come in for a variance before Commission and Council.. Councilman Towner: It seems to me that from checking out their figures they do have justification in a furniture store for less parking space and I would assume that it is on this basis that they are asking for a variance, on the basis of a furniture store, and a valid reason for hearing this. City Attorney, Mr. Williams: It is, so long as it is limited to ,the time it is used for a furniture store. The hearing was declared closed by Mayor Heath. • Mayor Heath asked if there were any reason why that 60 feet of area couldn"t be used for parking at this time and Mro Gilchrist stated that it is a matter of acquisition of frontage from the standpoint of economics, and frontage bf this type is relatively expensive and the Purchasers are not asking for any variance, There could possibly be worked out a temporary arrangement as to parking but it'would not be desired to have this be in the variance at this time, ME Co Co 12-11-61 Page Nine VARIANCE NO. 363 - Continued Mayor Heath asked how it was planned to have access to the stalls over someone e,l.se's property or.does Barker own the entire property and Mr. Gilchrist indicated that access would be over the rear 30 • feet of this property and over 17-1/2 feet of this easterly end of the 357-1/2 feet. However, Mr. Gilchrist went on to say, that they had been assured by the owners in the area that they would be agree-, able to easement over this access area, and that it would be the most practical to have this as a written easement. Escrow on this parti- cular property is contingent upon it being a written easement. Mayor Heath stated that if access from the west is cut off then it must come in from the south which would eliminate even more parking stalls than what is called for here and the same thing would be true if ac- cess from the east would be cut off. Mr. Gilchrist, however, stated he could see no advantage to this being cut off by anyone. Mayor Heath stated that he could, in that if there were more need for parking than anticipated and the parking of the Green Stamp store was used for this use, giving their customers parking difficulties, then they would probably cut this off right away, Councilman Towner was of the opinion that an easement; agreement could be drafted that would be made to hold. Councilman Towner asked if the program with adjoining property owners include, in addition to egress, community, parking and Mr. Gilchrist indicated that no, that had not been planned. Councilman Towner stated that the parking lot is intended to be developed as a unit, ft Mr. Williams stated that if this is granted you should only fix the number of parking spaces needed for this use. The.plot plan isn't before Council and this would permit them to do it all on their prop- erty or by community parking there, the number being the number spec- ified in community parking, In case they didn't get the easement it would be necessary to drop'a few parking spaces to get from one to the other and shouldn't possibly be figured too closely. Councilman Barnes. There is the possibility that this furniture store use might not re- main here and I think we have that to consider in that another type store would very likely be deficient in parking stall requirements. Mr. Petrie. When we appeared before the Com- mission we were talking about the whole property and the Commission questioned as to what was going on the rest of the property and we said we did not know. Now we have come back and are talking of a smaller portion for furniture store and for a variance for the parking behind the furniture store, I do not know what we are going to do with the rest of it at this time. We had not thought of community parking but just parking that is adequate behind the furniture store which would be 50 cars yet this will allow for 65 cars. This building is being built for a furniture store business and while the financing • people say:it isn't exactly a one purpose use it comes pretty close to it and it is expected to be there for a long time. Councilman Snyder stated that the statement of Councilman Barnes could be expanded in that anything going into any zone, do we know that use, will stay in there, or maybe zoned for different zoning in the future. Councilman Snyder felt that anyone that is going to invest this much is intending to stay for some time. Councilman Barnes, however, stated that that is the reason we' have required such adequate parking to in- sure that any change of type of store or use would have sufficient parking if it was needed, -9- Co Ca 12-11-61 VARIANCE NO. 363 - Continued Page Ten Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Snyder, and car- ried, that Variance No. 363 be approved for a retail furniture store not to exceed 42,000 square feet with 140 feet of frontage on Service Avenue, and with the variance granted to reduce the required number of parking stalls to 55 so long as used as retail furniture store and that adequate ingress and egress and parking be provided to the sat- isfaction of the Planning Department and City Engineer.

Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Adams, and car- ried that Variance No. 366 be held over to the regular meeting of the City Council. of December 26, 1961 at the applicant's request, ZONE CHANGE NO, 204 LOCATION: Garvey Avenue, between James Jo Santiago Azusa and Baymar Avenues.

The City Clerk read the resolution and stated that there were 59 notices mailed and that notice of hearing appeared in the'West Covina Tribune on November 30, 1961. Mayor Heath opened the public hearing, There being no testimony presented, the hearing was declared closed. Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Barnes, and -car- ried, that Zone Change No. 204 be held over to the next regular meeting of December 26, 19610 It should be noted that the reason this matter was held over was that there is to be a study session held relative to the eastern end of the City as related to the general plan and members of Council felt they would like to have the benefit of this discussion by Mr. Shatz in regard to the eastern area of the City before decision is made on this zone change. PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN LOCATION: 444 South Glendora Avenue, NO. 60 (Rev. 2) between Walnut Creek Wash Fred Stein and Service Avenue. APPROVED AS STIPULATED Request for adoption of Precise Plan of Design approved by the Planning Commission Resolution No. 1122. Called up by Council November 13, 1961. -10- C. Co 12-11-61 Page Eleven PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN' NO, 60 (Rev. 2) - Continued The City Clerk read the resolution and stated that 16 notices had been mailed and that notice of this hearing had been published in the West Covina Tribune on November 30, 1961— • Mayor Heath opened the public hearing. All those desiring to pre- sent testimony were sworn in by the City Clerk. Mr. Fe Garvey This is under two ownerships. Mr. Rowland Avenue, Covina Stein owns that portion on which the theater is shown and southerly of the theater, but the portion to the north is under a long term lease. The ordinance limits to four seats for every parking stall required so 804 seats would be the max- imum I think a City this size can adequately use another theater. The proposed operator isn't a 'Johnny -come -lately° to this business as he has 26 theaters between San Bernardino and Santa Monica so it is an experienced and well financed operation. We attempted, before the Commission in this revision, to work out a1.1. the objections to Plan number one. The applicant has been willing, and has had preliminary commitments on this financing, to start this theater 8 or 9 months ago and if he does not get this now this theater will have to go in behind two others so there will be another gap of possibly two years before this is built. We have provided openings for parking lots along Glendora with only one opening at the back along Valinda. One was to gain stalls and the bulk was anticipated to come in toward the front of the theater and with curve being put in there it would be better to have one opening only at the rear at the time than to have the confluence of traffic when this is improved. The traffic engineers of the theater people felt there was adequate openings of adequate size to serve people coming in and out without a hazard. We feel we have conformed except as to the number of stalls as to requirements. We are willing to make the dedication of the necessary land and provision was made in this precise plan for it to provide radius curve to connect Valinda with Glendora and make the necessary dedication to provide for Glendora widening in front of the theater. We do have some minor problems in terms of economics. This is a _through and through lot with a rela- tively short distance between two streets. The things which the appli- cant would like to see removed from the conditions is the 6 foot block wall, 6 foot high, 502 feet along Valinda Avenue, I would assume that some portions of it would be cut down at the entrances to parking lot and as it approached Glendora Avenue to eliminate any hazard, but it is along a street and would serve no particular purpose. If it is to screen this use from the church, both the church and theater are higher than 6 feet and I checked this out today standing on both sides of Glendora and Vincent and you would see theater building and it would only be an unnecessary expense. The parking lot has to be attractively maintained to attract customers and the church is used for normal church uses, although there is a school connected with it, but we would see • no reason for a wall in terms of the school. It seems there has been over --emphasis on block walls by all cities in the area but the only place outside of street is at the northwestf-section, Safeway, but that is across from single family but not a public use operation such as the church and this would not be protecting residential or potential res- idential use. While we would be willing to put in a parking bumper and maintain landscaping the wall would do us an economic disservice and it would cost a lot of money to put it up, It would tend to screen the theater and parking lot from the people coming along Valinda and in realigning.Valinda you will have provided a carrier to bring people from the south portion of the City, going north, to this area and the freeway. -11.- Co Co 12-11-61 Page.Twelve PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO, 60 (Rev. 2) - continued Mr. F. Garvey - Continued You have additonally required street improvements including those portions of Valinda and Glendora contiguous to subject property. Glendora makes a good sense to place improvements there, it is being widened and it is felt it is needed, but Valinda is a different story to the extent that it has to be widened up to its present and existing place, is agreed, but my client feels it is unreasonable for him to pay the cost to put in the proposed new extension to come in and to give dedicated land plus other improvements would be undue economical hardship on the owner in terms of development. The subdivision act gives City a subdivision ordinance to impose the cost of construction but you have had a precise plan ordinance in the City and while now possibly in the class of ancient lights, it goes beyond any speci- fic authority of any city to impose some of the things that have been imposed when you tax property with full paving of half of street which is going to be a secondary highway and perhaps while not arbitrary it is going beyond reasonableness of what should be required of this property owner, We feel the sidewalks are needed along Glendora, and maybe on Valinda, but that gets to be a pretty expensive thing. This, we feel,.would depend upon where the foot traffic is going to go but since this is obviously designed for automobile traffic and since it has many times been said that citizens no longer walk to stores, and most are two car families, the 600 feet on Valinda going from nowhere to nowhere is hardly going to be an improvement. I think it is discriminating whether you apply all these things as a requirement or not. With respect to the land to the south, that is to be a rest home and is on the corner at Valinda and immediately south of this property, is a piece 15 feet wide and runs about the edge of the southerly part over to Glendora and is still potential., South of that you do have some commercial along Glendora Avenue. This project has been pending since last Spring and they would like a building permit tomorrow morning.so that they can get started on this theater. Whether it is 900 or 804 seats, we will try to struggle a- long with 804 but convince you later that 900 seats will have adequate parking, We have provided parking, are willing to dedicate land but would like relief from portion of paving Valinda Avenue as it is imposed because we do not know when it will be completely improved but we are willing to bear the expense on Glendora and what would now have to be improved on Valinda as it is and to get rid of the block wall, There being no further testimony, the hearing was declared closed. Councilman Snyder; I am particularly interested if the staff had any comments on these three ingress and egress openings onto Glendora so close to that major inter- section? It seems this might present a problem, Mr. Joseph: We had the designers of this plan discuss this with the traffic en- gineer and the Planning Department was willing to take the advice of the Traffic Engineer and he approved these. -12- Co Co 12-11-61 PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO. 60 (Rev. 2) - Continued Page Thirteen Councilman Barnes asked if the Traffic Committee went over this be- cause of the egress and ingress and Mr. Dosh indicated that the Traf- fic Engineer had referred them to the City Engineer and himself. As • to the location of the three openings onto Glendora, as proposed, the northerly one is quite distance from the intersection as far as it could be taken, and the other*is not in relation to an intersection and the only one possibly in question is at the southerly end but these other two will not be in conflict in the long run because if this street is ever terminated these will nort be too much of a prob- lem because these two streets come together here. This is directly across from service station. Mayor Heath stated the next one up is directly in line with the inter- section and Mr. Dosh stated that it is the plan to temporarily signal- ize this section anyway.

Was it considered putting another ingress or egress on Valinda instead of three on Glendora? I would like more concrete recommen- dations on this. I do not think you would want a driveway on the east side where someone looping around the bend is coming around a blind corner. It is possible the traffic engineer can limit one of them to entrance only or exit only and control it in that way. Possibly the bulk of traffic should be dumped on Valinda, It is a secondary highway and there sibuld be no reason why it could not be. Put some additional traffic on secondary highway. It seems to me we could eliminate the 6 foot wall. on ;the other hand attempt to•screen Valinda from lights shining out onto the street to prevent traffic hazard. There was an esthetic reason in that Valinda is a residential traffic bearing street and this would shield from residential traffic. There is also a I would call Council°s attention as to the is a Home for Aged women. I think the 6 foot possibly should be can see some cause particularly where curb there° wall along Valinda eliminated but I to screen lights it comes around Would a 42 inch wall eliminate the lights? -13- Co Co 12-11-6.1 Page Fourteen PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO. 60 (Rev. 2) - Continued Councilman Towner: The other thing would be Valinda improvements. I do not see how to justify waiving those, at least at this time. We should require those improvements all around the property and I do not know why this property stands in any different light than any other commercial property developed insofar as getting improvements on it. I am interested in what is to the south and the matter of how the rest home lines up with this particular property. Councilman Barnes: I think we can get the protection of the block wall when the other property is developed. Councilman Towner: There is nothing between the rest home and the theater property ex- cept what might be provided on this precise plan? Mr. Joseph: That is correct. Councilman Towner: Did the Planning Commission re- quirements suggest a block wall along the southerly tier of parking? Mr, Joseph: No, because at that time the prop- erty was zoned potential "C"o How- ever, since this started Mr. Bandy completed R-4 zoning use, but this condition was kept off because the • zone change was not on there at that time. Mayor Heath: You are going to have some devel- opment between this particular property and rest home, even if it is only parking place, Mr. Joseph: It would appear so,yes. Councilman Towner: I understand that the conditions of the Commission are that land- scaping at the southerly corner in the little triangle has to be put in to the satisfaction of the City departments and I think therefore by controlling just that one point of landscaping that can protect the rest as it needs to be protected. Mayor Heath: If that .160 feet wide piece delelops and building put on Glendora side of property and entire back end is par- king space, it is quite posisible cars pulling into theater parking stalls will shine their lights directly into the R-4 rest home, Councilman Barnes: We can require block wall if and when the 150 foot parcel is developed. I don't see how you can impose a • block wall on this property with C-1 potential between the two. Mayor Heath: If you required the 160 foot parcel to put up a block wall you require that owner to put up protection be- tween theater and rest home and he isn't the one that needs this pro- tection, -14- 0 C: is Co Ca 12-11-61 PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO, 60 (Rev. 2) - Continued Councilman Snyder: Mayor Heath: Page Fifteen He will have parking. His car lights will shine into the rest home windows. I do not see how you can make the owner of the 160 foot parcel, why make him protect his lights from the rest home? Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Barnes that Pre- cise Plan of Design No. 60 (Rev. 2) be held over to next regular meeting. This was because it was felt there should be more review and recom- mendation regarding driveway openings on Glendora, plus other mat- ters discussed. However, before the question, and after further discussion it was felt that probably some equitable decision could be reached, since the main question seemed to be in relation to the driveways. The motion and second to hold over were withdrawn. Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Barnes, and car- ried, that Precise Plan of Design No. 60 (Rev. 2) be approved subject to the recommendations. Conditions of the Planning Commission, with the following exceptions: that the requirements of the 6 foot block wall along Valinda be eliminated and instead a wall. 42 inches high be required that driveway openings be subject to the approval of the City Engineer and City Manager, and that a bond be provided to cover the cost of construction of the 240 foot, 42 inch high,screening wall to the south, to be installed at the Completion of the project if.required by City Council at that time.

Councilman Towner indicated the possibility of the shifting of the lots facing Garvey so one side on Garvey and two face into Meadow Road but Mr. Joseph stated although it was a good idea but not done because of existing development on here. The matter of how old the home now existing here was questioned but Mr. Joseph did not know. Mayor Heath felt the suggestion was good, and it would be fine if it could be done, but he did not feel that someone could be told he can't use the property until he tears the building down, and a home, no matter the age, might still be figured on being used by those living in it for another 20 years. Motion by Councilman Adams, seconded by Councilman Barnes, and car- ried, that Metes and Bounds Subdivision No. 135-187 be approved, sub- ject to the recommendation of the Conditions of the Planning Commission.

Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Barnes, and car- ried, that Tentative Map of Tract No. 27022 be deleted from the Agenda at the applicant's request, EXISTING BUILDINGS Reference was again made to the IN SUBDIVISIONS matter of the old house as in- dicated relative to M & B No, 135-187. The City Manager felt that it would be in order to request the Planning Department, hence- forth, when there is an existing building on land that a report and photographs of said building or buildings be presented and reviewed with the map. The City Manager stated that there were other such existing buildings in the City which were presenting problems as generally they had no'.curb, gutters in front of them to provide proper drainage and when there is a lot split there is the giving of benefit of a heavier use than what is existing and stipulations could be made in relation to an old house or building on such property. Such re- quests had been made in the past on the part of Council, It was the consensus this be done, as suggested by the City Manager, in the future. REVIEW OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION December 6, 1961 TERMINATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS AS TO TIME Nothing called forward by Council. Motion by Councilman Barnes, sec- onded by Councilman Towner, and carried, that the Mayor contact the Chairman of the Planning Com- mission in regard to the time of closing their meetings. Councilman Towner felt it should be conveyed however that this is not to be hard and fast rule in that should there possibly be .only one or two items left on the agenda which may just carry them a bit past that time in order to complete the agenda it might be more prac- tical to complete the agenda under certain conditions than carry the meeting over, GNERAL MATTERS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mrs. M.
