(Council- man Jett abstained.) PRESENTATION BY -WEST COVINA BEAUTIFUL Mrs. Jean Townsend Coordinating Chairman West Covina Beautiful member who might be present here I would like the Secretary and Treasurer of West Covina Beauti- ful to stand with me and also the Vice President and any other tonight. It is with a great deal of satis- faction and a certain amount of pride that we present to the City of West Covina our check in the amount of $200.00. This money represents two contributions of $100.00 each which the City Council very generously made to the West Covina Beautiful in support of the annual City Birthday Dance in 1963 and 164. However, during most of the existence of West Covina Beautiful since its founding in 1950, it has been the policy of our organization to be self-supporting and the only occasion on which_,. we have solicited funds have been for the purposes of tree planting and similar purposes. We wish to return this money to the City with the stipulation that it be used for the purpose of trees or shrubs to be planted in.the business areas of.,the City. We would like to request that you advise us as to when and where the trees and shrubs are planted. In this way with the coopera.tion of the City we hope to further our primary objective of keeping West Covina beautiful. (Pre- sented letter and check to the Mayor.)

Approve agreement and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the same, Held over from November 8, 1965, Councilman. Heath. The staff and myself had a number of conversations with Mr, Oschin • and Mr, Glikbarg concerning this right-of-way, As was.pointed out before, 'it.is the intent of both parties to do the''same thing; however, the wording has not been finalized, I would like to have the City Attorney advise us if we can go ahead with this agreement and fulfill all the requirements of that agreement, City Attorney, Mr, Williams: You will recall that the wording that was subject to change 'had to do with this: I think it'was Paragraph 5.in the agreement,' It provided that.the..City agreed that it would vacate a portion of Azusa Avenue lying easterly of the Oschin and Glikbarg property, Two things were -5- • Co Co 11/22/65 APPROVE AGREEMENT (bsCHIN AND GLIKBARG) — Continued wrong with it. The agreement should not decide a matter upon which a hearing must be held and a determination.made. It should say, "We will dedicate to you the required portion of the realigned Azusa Avenue if and when you vacate," The second thing that was wrong.' with.it, it didn't say the westerly half of Azusa Avenue, which is all. that the title company indicates would revert to them, The rewording was done immediately after your last meeting -and was submitted immediately to the Oschin and Glikbarg interest, It is my understanding that it has not been.. returned signed. I would recommend that you do not.accept the right- of-way because if you do,'you may do it on the way they had previously signed, which would be or could be construed as requiring the vacation and.reversion to them of all of Azusa Avenue, Councilman Heath: In conversation with Mr, 0schin today and his.engineer, Mr; Sherman, their final statement was this: They will agree to receive anything which the title company says they should receive. They have not, to my knowledge, seen a copy of this title insurance report and. I believe all we need is to send a copy of this title insurance report to Mr. Oschin and Mr. Glikbarg and they.will immediately agree to.sign any papers that you need. Move to hold this over to the next regular meeting.during which time the staff would supply Mr. Oschin with a copy of this title insurance report, and that Mr,. Oschin. sign any paper that the City Attorney requires to clarify the matter, City.Attorney., Mr; Williams: You can simply have it that they. sign the agreement submitted to them. I believe that a copy of this title report has been sent to them with the new agreement and the request that they sign it; There may have been some physical difficulty in their signing and getting acknowledgements upon the new agreement, It happened that the amendment. occurred on the signature page, .Councilman Heath: The title company has told them they are entitled to 60 feet and I said that.is not true because. the title insurance preliminary. shows they get only 30 feet,. He said whatever the title insurance cwmpany.says they get they would go with that, 'Councilman Jett: I think this should be resolved before we make any motion. I think before we start approving anything or. recommending anything to be done, let's know what we are doing and what we have in.return Motion by Councilman.Krieger, seconded by Councilman Heath, and carried, • that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the amendment of the agreement prepared by.the City Attorney with particular reference to Paragraph 5 and submit the draft agreement for execution by Mr. Oschin and Mr. Glikbarg, together --with a copy of the title report, Mayor Nichols: At the time of the recent pro-' posals regarding rezoning of the Galster property which is very near this property, a number of citizens raised some question about the nature of the zoning of the property ..that has been discussed here this evening. I would like the Council. to give some possible consideration to this property.as to whether -6- C, Co 11/22/65 Page Seven APPROVE AGREEMENT (OSCHI'N AND GLIKBARG) - Continued • the present zoning on that property is in the highest and best use. I would be prepared to bring that matter up at a future Council meeting. SCHEDULED MATTERS HEARINGS STREET VACATION OF A PORTION LOCATION: Azusa Avenue from 2700 OF AZUSA AVENUE feet south of Francisquito to 1200 feet south of Francisquito Avenue. HEARING OF PROTESTS Set for October 18, 1965, by OR OBJECTIONS Resolution No, 3242 adopted September 13, 1965, Public Hearing for vacation of a portion of Azusa Avenue opened on October 18, 1965, held over to November 8, 1965, and again to November 22, 1965. Hearing remains open, Mayor Nichols: I believe it is the recommendation of the City Attorney that we continue to hold over and open the hearing on this item, City Attorney, Mr. Williams: Yes. I think you don't want to vacate the street until you have the agreement. Motion by Councilman Krieger, seconded by Councilman Heath, and carried, that this matter be held over to the regular meeting of December 13, 1965 with the hearing open.. ZONE CHANGE NO. 341 LOCATION: Vacant land 170 feet Abbey Rents north of the northeast APPROVED corner of Puente and Azusa Avenues, fronting Azusa Avenue. Request to reclassify from Zone R-P to Zone C-1 approved by Planning Commission Resolution No. 1839. Held over from November 8, 19659 to this date, at applicant's request, with hearing open, Mayor Nichols: This is the time and place for the public hearing?. . Mr. Leroy Shaub I am with the E. T. Lakey Company 345 East Rowland representing Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Covina Stinton, owners of the property, and the applicants, Abbey Rents. North Azusa Avenue is primarily a commercial street from the San Bernardino Freeway to the Foothill Boulevard. Abbey Rents wishes to_ bring another major business concern to West Covina. This proposed location is one which for years has been unable to be developed under its present zone. Mr; Major from Abbey Rents is here tonight and he will be happy to answer any questions that the Council might have. -7- C, C, 11/22/65 ZONE CHANGE NO. 341 - Continued Page Eight • There being no further public testimony, the public portion of the hearing was closed, Mayor Nichols: I am personally acquainted with the applicant in this matter, Therefore, I believe I will.abstain from any discussion and voting on this matter before the Council at this time, Councilman Krieger: We have a report from the Planning Department dated November 19th referring to the Calprop Investments, (Read portion of said report,) How are you going to have an R-4 uniformity on that block if you already have a C-1 on the corner? Planning Director, Mr, Joseph: In the report we made the recom- mendation that the R-4 zoning be granted for an extension down to Puente, recognizing there are service stations on the corners, Councilman Heath: Last Wednesday night the Planning Commission recommended that a portion of this side of the street be rezoned to R-4 which would continue the R-4 further south. How much would be left after that? I am talking • about the parcel north of the service station, Planning Director, Mr. Joseph: It is 70 feet wide, Councilman Heath: If Calprop goes in and develops their parcel as shown, it will leave a 70-foot strip between the gas station and this Calprop property, Do we feel a 70-foot strip can be developed as R-4? I don't think so. I would think since it is next to commercial it would only be fitting to make it commercial, On Puente Avenue you have a small portion of R-P that would be a good buffer, Planning Director, Mr, Joseph: We don't think 70 feet is too narrow to develop as R-4, Councilman Jett: I don't understand why the Planning Commission or the Planning Department would write a recommendation of this nature regarding this property, The hearing on this request was made before Calprop ever came in for their hearing before the Planning Commission;. Councilman Krieger: One of the problems the Planning Commission was faced with was receiving the Azusa Avenue study at the same time they were passing on these particular applications so the Azusa Avenue Study never really was considered by the Planning Commission as such, The Planning • Commission has yet to hold any public hearings and won't on that study until the economic base study comes in, I think the purpose of the Planning Department in submitting this memo of November 19th was to bring the Council up to date on what is happening in conjunction with the Azusa Avenue Study by the Planning Commission, I find it valuable primarily because I wasn't at the Planning Commission hearing last Wednesday, IM C. C. 11/22/65 ZONE CHANCE NO, 341 - Continued Page Nine Councilman Heath: I think the C-1 would fit into this very readily and it could be developed practically immediately. If it goes to R-4 with the vacancies we have in R-4, it may be quite some time before we develop it as R-4. I feel that the pattern laid out on that map with the consideration that the northerly part has been recommended for zone change to R-4, this property in question would make a good buffer area. Councilman Snyder: I think it would be desirable if it could be zoned according to the study plan but I don't think this application is too detrimental to the study plan taking into account what is there. Motion by Councilman. Krieger, seconded by Councilman Jett, and carried, that Zone Change No. 341 be approved from Zone R-P to Zone C-1. (Mayor Nichols abstained.) ZONE CHANGE NO. 347 Carlsen and Herold APPROVED. LOCATION: 1802 and 1808 Danes Drive, first two lots east of Azusa Avenue. • Request to reclassify from Zone R-1 to Zone R-P approved by Planning Commission Resolution No. 1840. Held over from November 8, 19659 to this date, at applicant's request, with hearing open. Mayor Nichols: This is the time and place for the public hearing. Mr. Arthur Baldinado In reading the North Azusa Attorney at Law Avenue Study we note on Page 10 240 West Badillo that the study is making a strong Covina recommendation that no influential zone change be adopted until such time as the market survey is completed. They also speak of additional significant changes of zoning. We feel that the request for zone change for these two lots do not represent a significant change or influential change. We feel that the pattern for the two -lot depth zoning from Azusa Avenue in.this location has been established and that such policy statement was developed in connection with Zone Change No. 312, Laberge. There being no further public testimony, the public portion of the hearing was closed. �e Councilman Jett: I think this is a pattern that pretty much goes along with the rest of the development along there. I would go along with the • recommendation. Motion by Councilman Krieger, seconded by Councilman Heath, and carried, that Zone Change No. 347 be approved from Zone R-1 to Zone R-P.

(Councilman Snyder left the chambers at 9:10 P.M.) City Clerk, Mr, Flotten: We had a call from a gentleman and he is rained in and he would like to have this item postponed. Motion by Councilman Krieger, seconded by Councilman Heath, and carried, that this matter be held over to the next regular meeting of the Council at the request of the applicant, PARCEL MAP NO. 3 SCOA APPROVED 2 Lots - 6.2 Acres - Area District I. on November 17, 1965. LOCATION: South side of Cameron between Orange and Sunset Avenues, Approved by Planning Commission City Attorney, Mr, Williams: The State law was amended and we don't have all of our amendments in the code yet. They call what they used to call a lot split a parcel map now. I don't think it.requires a tentative.and a final. I think you could approve both the final and tentative at one time if there are no improvements or bonds required. The only difference is you now record these parcel maps and formerly if they were less than a regular subdivision they were not so recorded. Are any improvements and bonds required in connection with this? Planning Director, Mr, Joseph: City Attorney, Mr, Williams: No, You can approve the tentative and final at the same time, Councilman Heath: To the east of this parcel there is a triangular parcel 4.3 acres, The people that own that triangular piece requested a zone change to R-3 and a precise plan approval. There was a big commotion that at that time the staff was recommending the continuation of Toluca Street down to meet the first street to the south and the staff was very insistent, the Planning Commission and the Council were very insiste.nt that that street be carried on through because the street to the south was in the form of a cul-de-sac. What has happened to the plan of that street coming through? Planning Director, Mr, Joseph: When the Planning Commission and the City Council rezoned. this to R-P and this to R-1, this was shown to both bodies. We noted that the cul-de-sac was approved back in the early sixties along with an R-1 subdivision that worked. We thought there would be no need to open up this street since it is now R-1, -10- Co Co 11/22/65 Page Eleven PARCEL MAP NO. 3 - Continued • Councilman Heath: That does not justify the removal of that street going north, Mayor Nichols: That matter was mentioned recently and we voted to close it off and zone it back to R-1. Motion by Councilman Kreiger, seconded by Councilman Jett, and carried, that Parcel Map No, 3, Scoa, be approved subject to the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission, (Councilman Heath voted "No",) PARCEL MAP NO. 4 LOCATION: 1332 South Meeker near Donald Mahoney Sunkist, APPROVED 2 Lots - ,448 Acres - Area Distrct I, Approved by Planning Commission on November 17, 1965, Mayor Nichols: It directs them to remove the garage in order to create this • but it says nothing at all about requiring another garage to be built on the property where the garage was to have been moved. It would seem to me that the Council should require that as a condition that a new garage be constructed to replace that one being removed on the northerly lot, Mr, Donald Mahoney: The garage is built in such a way that it can be moved to the back of the lot, Mayor Nichols: If the Council sees fit to pass the stipulation that I have suggested, it would be to the satisfaction of the current building requirements. Motion by Councilman Jett, seconded by Councilman Heath, and carried, that Parcel Map No, 4 be approved subject to the conditions of the Planning Commission with a correction to Condition No, 2(e) to add on to proposed lot line and a two -car garage be moved or erected to meet the City requirements, REQUEST FOR JOINT SESSION ON CENTER STREET 0 Mayor Nichols: for a joint session with the Street, The recommended date agreeable with the Council.

He did not discuss costs, There could be an element of severance damage depending on what the contracts, the leases, and the like are with respect to the area that would be taken away and before anything serious would be done I would suggest we get a condemnation report from the title company before we could adequately answer a question of that nature, • CITY MANAGER REPORTS DELINQUENT TAXES FOR PUBLIC SALE City Manager, Mr, Aiassa: I have a letter from the Tax Delinquent Land Sale Series 88A and the Los Angeles Regional Planning Commission has outlined several parcels that are part of public interest.

EMPLOYMENT OF POLICE OFFICERS BY PRIVATE PARTIES City Manager, Mr,, Aiassa: Our Finance Officer feels. -if we . have them pay us and we make out a check to the employee, this would be the best system,, Otherwise, the people will have to make out various checks, Councilman Krieger: Are we renting our officers to private organizations? City Manager, Mr,, Aiassa: They work on their off shift. This is their own time, Councilman Heath: I am not in favor of this. If the businessmen want to employ a City officer while he is off duty, this is all right, but to do it • in a West Covina Police uniform, I think this is out of the question. It gives the impression he is acting on behalf of the City,, Police Chief Sill: I would like to have this passed for the following reasons: The Carousel Theater generates a great deal of traffic. We put men out directing traffic to the Carousel Theater, These men are paid by the Carousel Theater,, Our police officers are directing this traffic. At the present time normally it takes three officers each performance to handle the traffic going in, The Carousel could make out 25, 30 checks a week to the individual officers. Should an officer be injured it would be questionable as to whether he was under workmen's compensation or not and, of course, we want them to be under workmen's compensation and this is one of the primary reasons I want this system developed. The man would take orders from us. He is not being paid by us, however, Councilman Krieger: Is there any other police department that operates on this basis? Police Chief Sill: All police departments operate this way to my knowledge, Councilman Krieger: Since the Carousel has been in operation these traffic officers who have been directing traffic have been on the payroll of the • Carousel Theater? Police Chief Sill: That is correct,, Councilman Jett: I think this is a good idea, Councilman Krieger: It strikes me as being odd, Perhaps it is the only practical solution but I find something frankly repugnant in it because these men are wearing the uniform of our Police Department where, in fact, even though the money may be going through our hands, they are actually -19- • 0 C, Co 11/22/65 Page Twenty "EMPLOYMENT OF POLICE OFFICERS BY PRIVATE PARTIES - Continued being paid by a private concern, responsibility while in uniform the private concern because they and not by our City, Police Chief Sill: Councilman Heath: I would have to assume their first of our Police Department would be to are being paid by the private concern The same thing happens at the high school football games. I am in favor of these men doing this work on the side but not in West Covina Police uniforms, Councilman Krieger: I think if the Carousel have an additional requirement for police or any business establishment in the City where we feel there is a traffic control or law enforcement problem, I think it is our responsibility as a City to provide these officers, even if this means overtime or anything else, Councilman Heath: We can take them out of the West Covina Police Department uniform completely and let them be hired, or let the City supply the services as part of their duty to the businessmen in the City. If we do have extra.services to certain businesses, I think there should be some kind of a tax arranged to pay for these services. Councilman Jett: There are many instances where extra police help is needed. I would like to see our policemen out there. If an emergency happens they can handle the situation, This does sound to me to be the way to handle it, Councilman Krieger: Do we have any idea how much not being billed would cost our City? these officer overtime services Police Chief Sill: The Carousel requires a minimum of 48 hours a week traffic directional time, Councilman Krieger: I would like to see some figures on this and perhaps some alternative proposals to fund this. I resent the City acting as an employment agency, particularly using our uniformed officers as the commodity, I am not opposed to these men working over time hours, to getting paid, to being in uniform, to doing a law enforcement job, but I think they should be on the City's payroll and subject only to the City authority while they are doing it, If we have to come up with another solution to it such as special licensing or tax, I think we should do it, Police Chief Sill: I think by doing that you are virtually opening Pandora's Box because other shopping centers besides Eastland would be requesting officers to be specifically assigned to their particular location during the holiday period, —20— 0 C.

This is something I would hope we would keep right after. We are getting support in this matter from the Daily Tribune.

Could we pass a special license for handling this type of thing? -23- Co C, 11/22/65 PORNOGRAPHY Continued Page Twenty -Four City Attorney, Mr, Williams: Where you can't regulate, you can't pass a special license. You can only impose a special regulatory license or fee where you have the power of regulation, The State has pre-empted the field, Mayor Nichols: If you could determine that the sale of a certain type of product resulted in calls for additional police calls for service, could you not then levy a higher license fee because of that unusual demand for extra services? City Attorney, Mr, Williams: You could if it is not an area pre-empted by the State, .Councilman Krieger: I think in the report on Page 5 there are two interesting paragraphs which suggest perhaps a less dramatic solution to this problem,.if there is a solution at all. It states that the problem in West Covina regarding the amount of available material to a great extent is less than in other areas of the County, (Read portion of said report,) I think perhaps informally a lot can be accomplished that can't be accomplished by legislation and that is if the moral force of the community as represented by its civic leaders and our . business community and our law enforcement agencies would informally, contact these distributors, indicate to them what their feelings are about this, and I think to bring to bear on this not more legislation and if the moral conscience is brought to bear in the form that ultimately the retailer feels he is going to suffer a financial impact, I think he is much more receptive to it than a piece of legislation that will go through the courts and finally be ruled unconstitutional, Councilman Jett: Could we pass a resolution to go out to the surrounding cities requesting that we cooperate with each other in working to solve this problem? Mayor Nichols: Would you be willing to represent the Council on a committee and invite at least abutting cities to West Covina to send representation and form a panel committee and discuss this and see if there is any recommendation you can come up with in a joint meeting with these other cities that would be a recommendation to combat this problem and come back to each of our councils for a follow through?
