and that we accept the
No, 30, Section 2,
Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Heath, and
carried, to approve the plans and specifications in Project C-171 and
authorize the City Engineer to'negotiate or call for bids, whichever
procedure is required, and that we waive the.$2900040 maximum on
purchase orders as required by the City Ordinance in favor of the
$29500.00 maximum required by the Government -Coded
City Manager, Mr, Aiassa: In our purchasing procedure we
have adopted by ordinance at
the time we adopted this we had a provision in the City. Code and at
that time we were only permitted :informal bids.up to $2,000000,
Now they have adjusted the State Code which permits $2,500,00 and I
think if I had a motion from the Council directing the City Attorney
to provide the necessary amendment to Section 2709 and bring it in at
our next meeting, we would no longer be in conflict with the State
Code,
Mayor Barnes: I think your recommendation is
good; however, I.hate to see
these informal bids too high. This way we have a pretty good control
of it,
Councilman Jett: I think this is a reasonable
request,
Councilman Towner: It saves confusion,
Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Heath, and
carried, to direct the City Attorney to amend.Section 2709 to
conform with the Government Code on maximum bids,
PROPOSED "COVINA -RANCH ANNEXATION"
TO THE CITY OF WALNUT
Councilman Towner: I take it you have reviewed it
and are satisfied that the
proposed annexation to the City of Walnut --includes everything except
the 100 acres in litigation and the 390 or so acres proposed for a
cemetery?
City Manager, Mr, Aiassa: This is what has been indicated
to us. We have not actually
scaled out the metes and bounds and actual square footage, If you
would like us to do that we can do it,
Councilman Towner:
I think it would be helpful if
we have that information,

CITY CLERK'S REPORTS - Continued
. Mayor Barnes: I have had calls from different
newspapers in the.area.and.they
would like to know some of our comments, our position in regard to
this annexation to Walnut and also in regard to the cemetery as far as
Forest Lawn is concerned with Los Angeles Countyo
Councilman Heath: If we are not going to protest
it9 it would be A waste.of time
to do anything on the maps.
Mayor Barnes: The only one we.have before us
is the annexation to.Walnut.
We haven't seen the boundaries of the cemetery site as far as Los
Angeles County is concerned. Until we get that map, I don't.think we
could have any comments. I think we should have that map.for our
informationo:
Councilman Towner: I think this property is
clearly within the area of
influence of the City of West Covina and even though we chose not to
move to the east for the time being, it appears to me that this
should not be completely ignored and forgotten about. It..does effect
the destiny of our City and the destiny of the residents of our City.
I don't think we have any reasonable ground on which to protest to the
City of Walnut in their annexation of this territory. I don't think
we have any reasonable ground to protest a cemetery. I think the only
thing we can do is study the territory and see if there is something
in the best interests of the City of West Covina that can be done,,
Mayor Barnes:
PROPOSED ANNEXATION NO. 25
TO THE CITY OF LA PUENTE
Mayor Barnes:
If there is no protest, I'll
make the declaration that there
is no protest to this annexation.
I don't think we have any legal -
protest to this.
Councilman Towner: A long time ago we reviewed and
studied annexations south of
Francisquito and decided not to take any more down there.
REQUEST OF FRANK C. MARPE.CHAPTER OF DISABLED
• AMERICAN VETERANS TO EXCLUDE OTHER DAV
ORGANIZATIONS FROM SALVAGE PICK-UP IN THE CITY.

Mr. Burke., would you like to

CITY CLERK.° S REPORTS- 'Continued
Page Four
• Mr. Shannon Burke I am connected with every
1702 West Swanee Lane veterans organization in the
West Covina area. We are asking only that
the larger.organization of
Ellison, who has paid for a license, who now controls Pomona, Santa
Ana, Orange County, Long Beach, Pasadena, Monrovia and Azusa, and who
has us completely surrounded, stop attempting to move in. He has a
truck with "Disabled American Veterans" on ito He is a. profit -making
organizationo He operates on the premise of picking up in certain
areas and then paying that chapter that is in that area.a certain
stipulated amount of money per month for using the name "Disabled
American Veterans". He came in here and bought a license for
"Veterans Salvage".
Councilman Heath.- I think Mr,, Burke's comments..
have good reasoning; however, I
don't know all of the details on this and I wonder if we should take
care of it tonight. I think it should be put off and.a study made
such as can we stop the man if he has a license; is he profit or
non-profit organization.
Councilman Jett: In the event we are unable to
stop him, I think he should
put the City Clerk on notice when his license expires and.then let's
reconsider this thing,
Councilman Heath.- We also have to take into
consideration the legal part
of it and talk to.our attorney, whether you can refuse a license or
not.
Mr. Shannon Burke: The thing we are kicking about
more than anything else is the
fact that he's picking.up salvage under the name of the Disabled
American Veterans,,
Councilman Towner: It seems to me there are only
two things we can do. One, we
can limit Disabled American Veterans pick-up to the local chapter. I
think that is legal and possible. The other would be that we can
prosecute or whatever is necessary to stop the fraudulent pick-up
under the name of the Disabled American Veterans. Beyond that, I
don't think there is anything we can legally do. I think these
actions seem to be in order and if they are checked out with the City
Attorney, I think we could do that.
Mayor Barnes: Mr. Flotten, will you check this
out with -,Mr. Williams and see
what we can possibly do and we will bring this up again?
City Clerk, Mr. Flotten: Yes.

DUES OF UPPER SAN GABRIEL VALLEY WATER
ASSOCIATION
City Manager, Mr. Aiassa-,
I.think we are overdue now.
Councilman`Heath,. I would like to hold this over
for at least another meeting.
Both the Mayor and I were contacted'by Mr. Jensen from the Metropolitan
Water District today and he has set up a meeting and he would like
representatives of the Council and the Metropolitan Water District
on March 27 at 10:30 in the morning and April 3 at 100.30 in the
morning to discuss the historical plan and Carroll Plan and possible
annexation of West Covina to the Upper San Gabriel Water District.
Mayor Barnes-,
Councilman Heath-,
Not necessarily.
That is what he told me.
Mayor Barnes-, I discussed this with Mr.
Jensen also. The reason for
the two meetings is this,, He feels that one meeting is not adequate
for them to be able to come up with the answers to all of our
questions. He would like to have full Council participation, if
possible,in discussing this. He does want to bring the City of West
Covina in, if possible, under this historical plan which we all
desire. The second meeting would be to discuss further and so that
they would benefit and have the answers for us after the first
meeting.
Councilman Heath-,
W
I can make the meeting.

Councilman Towner: I have trials scheduled on
those dates I certainly
think attendance by Mr,, Jett, Mr,, Heath and Mro Barnes and.'anybody
else who can get there is worthwhile,, I think the picture._has.changed
substantially now that the overwhelming four®to-one.vote.indicates
that the people are willing to pay the extra.cost in.order_.to insure
themselves of water for the coming ten years before.we.get_the State
water which is the only reason to go into the Metropolitan Water
District that I know of,,

least one of the Engineering
Council to..take notes.
Councilman Jett: I think it behooves.us_.to join
one of those groups who will
be in our sphere of influence,, Pomona is going to be over the hill
and in a different basin,, I don't go along with this idea .that
Metropolitan is the cheapest way. I do feel that we must.do something
to get supplemental water and the fact that the indication is'that
the easiest program for us to sell would be M,,W,,D,, I think.we would
have a rough time selling them State water which I..believe is the
best way and the cheapest way,, I don't think we can sell it to..the
voter,,

far this year and I am wondering if we just don't have some moral
obligation to pay them for continuing along with.this information,,
Councilman Heath:
I'll withdraw my motion,,
City Manager, Mr,, Aiassa: It's in the budget.
Motion by Councilman Heath, seconded by Councilman Towner, that the

Councilman. Heath: Does the County now have to
issue a quit claim deed?
City Manager, Mr,, Aiassa: No, we would direct the City
Attorney to prepare the
necessary abandonment, to proceed with the legal proceedings to
vacate this-streeto
Motion by Councilman Towner, seconded by Councilman Heath'.and carried,
to authorize the City Attorney'to take the necessary steps to vacate

City Manager, Mr,, Aiassa:
CENTER STREET
I will notify.Mr,, Del Cairo of
your action here tonight,,
Mayor Barnes: We have a letter. -addressed to
Mr. Aiassa regarding an informal
meeting between the.Council and.the Commission possibly before the
Planning Commission meeting on March 20th in order to -ascertain the
possibility of working out a mutually.acceptable substitute for the
ingress and egress sought in Center Street, .The letter.is'from
Mr. Martin G'endel,, I.talked to him today. I told him I didn't see
the possibility of.a meeting prior to the Planning Commission meeting
of the 20th,, He suggested that perhaps they should request an
extension of time in order to have this meeting. I suggested that if
we..were`going to have a meeting with the Council or representative of
the Council that we should have a representative from'the Planning
Commission to give them'"benefit of the thinkingo I also recommended
that.Mr. Aiassa and Mro Williams attend this meeting.
Councilman Jett: I think this is a meeting that
would be uncalled for and going
in ahead of the Planning Commission,, I don't believe in stepping in
and trying to usurp their power,, I wouldn't be in favor of this,
Councilman Towner: I concur with Councilman Jett,,
I think that while on some
occasions a preview of such things might be helpful, the burden is
ultimately on the developer to propose his proposals,, If he wants to
go ahead on a proposal that he knows lies across a proposed and
essential street and one which has been approved in our Vincent Avenue
Interchange then he is going to have to run that risk,, Maybe he can
come up with something better but I think he should do it through the
normal channels,,
Mayor Barnes: If you would like to answer this
letter to him, I would so
inform Mr. Gendel that the Council has acted in this manner,,
City Manager, Mr,, Aiassa: I'll follow up on that,,

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
Mayor Barnes:
I have a letter from,.the League
of California Cities, Assembly --
Bill No, 1364o I am opposed to
this. (Said Bill read by_Mro..Flotten,)
Councilman Jett.:...
It must be with a search warrant.
Councilman Towner:
I don't.know why any public
agency would.object.to thato
What is the problem?
Mayor Barnes:
I think what they.intend to do,
they have been trying -to in
the police area.to be able to
enter houses without search..warrants,
I think -this is infringing on
the rights of peopleo
Councilman Jett:
In my opinion, I.think that a
search warrant.is..something
that should be required before
you violate somebody's residenceo This
could be abused.

City Manager, Mr, Aiassa:
I would like to check..this down
a little bit for
youo
Councilman Jett:
Can we get a run-down from Phil
Soto on that?
City Manager, Mr, Aiassa:
Yes; and I want to get an.
opinion from Mr. Williamso
Mayor Barnes: I think you should check this
out but'I think we should have
this for the next meeting. Also keep in mind the fact that even though
it's for inspection of wiring and this sort of thing by different
departments, this can be abused.;'.

is down Workman Avenueo I don't know whether we can drain into that
going north or noto In the event that we do, how do we handle these

Did they give you.an answer
when you talked to.the City
staff?
No. We said we would come back
tomorrowo
Mayor Barnes,. I think either one way or the
other, I think Mro..Houston can
demand that Mr. Aiassa and Mr. Dosh give him an answer tomorrow on
which way he could go,
Councilman Jett,. He had another question. Ithink
it has been the policy of the
Council on streets that are 80 or 100 feet wide that.in those areas
of improvement that the owners put in the .curbs and gutters,.sidewalk
improvements, dedicate the land and the City excavates and.does the
paving of the street. Is this true?
City Managers Mr,, Aiassa.- It all depends.
Public Services Director, Mr. Dosh,. We wrote a report about a year
ago on the different -policies
the Council has had on this. The present tendency is to pave the
center 24 feet, The only time the City Council has paved the entire
street is where the developer has dedicated the entire 80 feet,
Councilman Jett, I want to get the policy
established once and for all,
Every time this comes up I get a different answer.
Mayor Barnes, If the applicant makes a
request to the Council then it
is up to the Council°s Judgment as to which way we act.
Councilman Towner,. I think it should be made clear
here that there are varying
policies applied by the Council in varying circumstances in the past.
We do have a basic law which is that the developer put in the entire
improvement. If there is hardship shown or special circumstances
shown then the Council has varied from that policy.
Mayor Barnes,. Would it be satisfactory if we
have the staff make a little
resume of like areas so that we can have something to go on?

CLOSING BUSINESSES ON SUNDAY
Councilman Heath.- There are a number.of resolu-
tions being passed concerning this closing businesses on Sundays. I feel quite strongly about this,,
I am opposed to the bill. Not that I am an atheist or in.favor of blue
laws or against blue laws but I think here we have a country.of free
enterprise.and a country where a good percentage of our.people..do not
observe Sunday as a holiday and I think to require that all.businesses
except necessary businesses be closed on Sunday is not fair.to'public
enterprise or to the people themselves. I_therefore'would.like to see
this Council pass a resolution strenuously objecting to the bill.
because I think it is not a good bill.
Mayor Barnes: I don't think I.could vote for
this because we just -recently
passed a law in West Covina opposing the barber shops from staying
open on Sunday.
Councilman Heath.- That was for.a.particular
reason.
Councilman Jett.- This could throw,a lot of
people out of work.
Councilman Heath.- The Chamber passed a resolution
in favor of the bill, I beliebe.
Mr. Tambe.- The Bill I think he is referring
to is Senate Bill 845 intro-
duced by Senator Joseph Radigan of Santa Rosa County. It proposes
prohibiting the sale of merchandise that would fall in the specific
categories raised in the Bill; it excludes certain categories from
the provisions of the Bill and some are real estate, auto parts and
supplies, recreational items sold in resort areas, restaurants,
merchandise necessary for the public health and welfare such as drugs
and medicine and things of this sort,, The Chamber of Commerce and
Board of Directors at a special meeting held last week did pass a
resolution supporting passage of this Bill,, Our resolution had a
provision which instructed me to forward copies of this resolution
along with a cover letter to all chambers in the San.Gabriel Valley
urging them to take similar action.
Mayor Barnes.- I would like to have a chance to
review this.
City Manager, Mr. Aiassa.- I'll have information ready for
you.

done, if I wanted it fixed I would have to do it. I went ahead and
regraded, replanted and replaced nine sprinklers at a cost of $135.00.
iNow less than three months later you want to come in and tear it all
up. After all my expense (which now totals $585.00) and trouble to
maintain a beautiful corner I think it only proper that the City
stand all expenses, which will enc.lude $60.00 to move -sprinklers.
Because of sidewalk all twenty seven sprinkler heads will have to be
moved in order to get proper coverage and still not wet the sidewalk.
Also I stand to lose two trees, one ten inch seven years old -and one
two'inch, plus a good seven year old hedge.
"Since my home is the only one.
involved and if this can not be done properly, I suggest the whole
matter be dropped until such time that sidewalks are voted in by the
tax payers for the City of West Covina."
Mayor Barnes: Do we own a 10®foot easement in
this area?
City Manager, Mr.•Aiassae Yes. (Read report dated 3/15/63
re this matter.)
Councilman Jetta I think Mr. Reiner has been put
through a trying experience and
I think that he has been more than fair with the City. I would be in
favor of spending the additional money to relocate the sprinklers.
Councilman Heath: I think the manes request is
just.

Councilman Towner: I agree there is some hardship
and difficulty here but I don't
know that it is necessarily cured by going to that extent -.putting
the sidewalk around Walnut Creek Parkway is not in accordance with our
usual policy. I am not in favor of the City.paving the walk around
the corner to his driveway on Walnut Creek Parkway. As far as the
sprinklers are concerned, I am'wondering if a different type of
sprinkler head rather than moving the entire sprinkler.system might --
be installed at considerably less and still do about the -same thing.
Mr. Richard E. Reiner:
It will all have to be.regraded.
Mayor Barnes: I think at,this point9.now that
he has installed to sp rinkleren
it would be up to us to relocate or help. to relocate.these..sprinkler
heads.
Motion by Councilman Heath, seconded by Councilman Jett,_that..the City
pay for the installation of sidewalks on Mr. Reiner's property on
Hollenbeck and that the sidewalks be carried around to.his.driveway
on Walnut Creek Parkway and that the sprinkler heads be removed at a
cost of $60.00, making a total of $375,,00 and that this sum be
authorized to complete the project,, Motion passed on roll.call as

LOCAL PURCHASING
City Manager, Mr. Aiassa: Councilman Heath requested a

fourth paragraph is the point in question. (Read said paragraph.)
Mayor Barnes, I go along with the purchasing
procedure that we have.
Councilman Heath! Wherever possible, I would like
to see it bought within the.
City and I know of at least three organizations, including myself, who
have found.out that printing can be done cheaper inside the City and

Noes: None
Absent: None
City Manager, Mro Aiassa: It is the City Attorney's
suggestion that the Minutes
reflect the other three prices. They are as follows:
to Charles Cook of Cook
Tractor Company, Baldwin Park: Mr. Cook estimates the sale value of
the vehicle between $2500 and $30.00 with a trade-in value of $4000 to
$4500. Mro Cook stated that on all trade-ins they normally allow
10 - 15% additional value. This would be off -set by purchasing a new
piece of equipment whereby the City and all governmental agencies are
allowed a 10% discount if there is no trade-ino
20 Herb House, Used Equipment
Appraiser for Shaw Sales & Service Co. of Industry: Mr. House stated
that the Caterpillar would be worth $2500 to $3000 without considering
a trade-in, which should obviously be higher depending on the type
of equipment we are purchasing.
3. Brown -Bevis Machinery Co.
The salesman from Brown -Bevis indicated a value of $3700; however, I
am confirming this by a phone call to the appraiser, who has not yet
replied to my request. I hope to have this information by the end of

of these trucks out..
Councilman Jett: I would be in favor of that,,
Councilman Towner: I think there is good potential
in this.idea. The only objection
I would have is that the City would enter into the extensive improve-
ments and not have some means of recouping. I think the people who
get the benefit should pay and not the Igeneral tax payer who never uses
them,,
Councilman Jett: Couldn't we set up a parking fee.

Councilman Snyder-.
What recommendation does Chief
Sill make to forestall this
problem?
City Manager, Mr,, Aiassao The only thing he recommendq'is
that we make them.cognizant'of
a problem that if they issue too many of these licenses..we would have
the problem of the clustero
Councilman Snyder- I think that is reasonableo I
don't think we have.a problem
yet but I can see what he is worried about-.
Motion by Councilman Jett, seconded by Councilman Heath, that the
Police Chief's report be accepted and filed..
Councilman Towner: I am not satisfied with that
action. It seems to me we
ought to take action before the problem occurs. On South..Glendora
we have a good potential of that sort of thing; there's the beginning
of.a cluster. If we can promote State control since they have the
control to provide a better disbursal of these things then we avoid
the problem at the outset.
Councilman Jett- Sneider's delicatessen sells
beer and wine. I go in there
and have.a sandwich maybe twice a week. Occasionally I'll have a
beer; I usually have coffee, I see an occasional person sitting around
having a beer. Right down the street is a little Italian place; he
sells beer and wine served with beans. Mexican Joe's sells beer. I
don't think we have a problem.
Mayor Barnes- If Chief Sill was to recom-'
mend this,, he could say
whether we had a cluster and if we had a problem. is this going
to give the authority to the Chief'of Police or is it going to
keep it within the Council's jurisdiction?
Councilman Towner- I think the intent is to keep
it in the State and the ultimate
aim is to provide for legislative authorization through the State to
provide a disbursal program that applies equally to all cities.

Mr. Aiassa: I would like Mr. Dosh's report in

"From: To Jo Dosh, Pub, Ser, Dir.
.To: George Aiassa, City Mgr,
Date: 10/26/62
Subject: Bond Issue Project 589-D - Bowker's 26' Storm Drain Ease-
ment
"The problem of Mr. Bowker's 26 ft. storm drain easement has been
reviewed by me in conversations with Flood Control officials, Mr,
Williams, Mr, Johnson, Mr, Pontow, Mr. Lathrop, and you.
"Whereas Mr, Bowker's request might seem reasonable to him, in dis-
cussing this matter with Flood Control officials and our City At-
torney, it seems advisable that we do not include such a stipula-
tion regarding a two weeks limit on construction. It must be re-
membered that this contract will be let on an alternate basis for
a pipe or box section in this area. In other words, the time of
construction might vary from two and a half to six weeks. In my
most recent discussion with the City Attorney, he suggests the
following procedure:
1, Inasmuch as the Flood Control District is obligated
to procure all right of way for this project, and
since it will not cost the City any funds from their
bond issue moneys now, we should request them to pro-
ceed with the right of way acquisition,
2. In order to assist them in their efforts and to pos-
sibly save right of way costs, we should assign our
interests in the easement to them. By that, we mean
that the City Council should adopt an assignment of
interest transferring the obligation that Mr. Bowker
has to dedicate the right of way to us, as per his pre-
cise plan. We should also attach copies of our Plan-
ning Commission and Council resolutions so designating
that he is required to do this. By proceeding in this
manner, the Flood Control will be working directly with
Mr. Bowker, He will be compensated for whatever value
• he should receive for the easement, considering the
present status,
"As a matter,of practicality, I am certain that we can work with
ne-
the coractor and the District officials in charge of construc-
tion <?aring construction to work the problems out to the best in-
terests of the local merchants. I have personally discussed this
problem with one of the co -owners of the A & W Root Beer stand,
Considering the limited frontage that this most affected parcel
would have, I am'certain we could construct the necessary,improve-
ments in a reasonable minimum time.
