Mayor Krieger: My recollection of the Minutes

about 47 palm trees at $150 each9-approximately, This project in the
report of July 7th talks about 44 palm trees and the estimated cost
of each palm tree comes out to $238, Could we have an explanation as
to the number and the cost?
Assistant City Engineer, Mr, Zimmerman-. There are 44 palm trees
actually in existence to
be moved and the estimated cost should be $150 per tree, The figure
in the report is incorrect.

Mayor Krieger: When the assessment roll was first
formulated for this particular
project, why wasn't it picked up as to the State owning this property?
Public Services Director, Mr, Fast: The only think we can get from
the record is that in 1959
when the assessment roll was made out, it was an error,
City Attorney, Mr, Williams: Sometimes the record ownership
changes after the assessment
roll and if we rely on the assessment roll, we are not always sure
of a change of ownership that has occurred quite recently, It is
possible that this is nobody's fault, The State acquired it but the
assessment roll showed it as private property, We get caught in
this every once in a while.

Finance Officer be authorized to pay this assessment in the amount of

will be used if it becomes necessary, They will only pay for the
work that is done, The third disc.ing is intended to be utilized only
in those areas that grow the tumbleweed and we can catch them when
they are small and can be disced, The hand operation of handling

The block is from Batelaan to
Sunset,,

Councilman Nichols: Mr,, Fast, what was the size of

the width of that right-of-way and the lineal length frontong on
both streets?
Public Services Director, Mr,, Fast: I can give it to you approximately,,
There was a small triangular
•piece of land that the City attempted to obtain so they could put
two lanes through to Sunset approximately 100 feet long and perhaps
six feet deep,, As I recall, the judgment was that the entire right-
of-way on the Walnut Creek or Service Avenue side must be obtained,,
In other words, the ten feet immediately behind it,, Then subsequently
as part of the settlement, an amount was settled with our attorney
which would give us the ten feet on Sunset Avenue as well,,
Councilman Nichols: What was the cost to the City
for that parcel?
Public Services Director, Mr,, Fast: $599000,,00.
Councilman Nichols: The City of West Covina has
already paid a price of $599000,,00
for a strip of land ten feet wide by not in excess of 400 feet long
in order to achieve the right-of-way for this property,, To whom was
that money paid?
Public Services Director, Mr,, Fast: The East San Gabriel Valley
Japanese Community Center,,
Motion by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Nichols, and
carried, that the protest in this matter be overruled,,

this evening I received a
telephone call from a Mrs, Ruth McKinney, She informed me that she
had signed a protest petition representing her property with an
,aszessed valuation in the $5,000 range, She said she signed the
protest petition upon the representation by' a petition carrier that
annexation to the City of West Covina would cost her $100 or more a
.year in additional taxes. In fact.. she informed me she subsequently
found out that the actual cost to her for annexation to the City of
West Covina would be approximately $13,00 a year in additional taxes;
and that she would desire to have her name withdrawn from the
petition, I informed her that she should communicate her desire
relative to what necessary legal procedures might be involved to the
City Clerk, I assume she will do that, I am aware that it loses
significance in that the petition was not a majority petition, but
I believe it carries significance in that it presents a story
demonstrating how difficult it is sometimes to get factual information
to the public where they are being asked to sign,,'petitions.for various

predicated upon a precise plan for an office building on the C-1.
You will be faced with a request for more zoning on this back piece
of property because there is no way to get to it unless they come
with another variance or activate the variance for parking Our
experience has been that on a piece of property that extends 200
feet -wide and maybe a couple hundred feet deep, unless you have a
unified plan in front with the off-street parking opposed to the rear
you are going to have a problem back here,,
Councilman Snyder: I would like the City.to initiate
a hearing for the total piece
of property to zone it to the highest and best use.

Snyder and Mayor Krieger voted "No",,)
REVIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
ACTION OF JULY 69 1966
PROCEDURE ON PUBLIC HEARINGS
Motion carried, (Councilman
So indicated by Mr,, Flotten,,
No items called up,
Mayor Krieger: In discussing this matter
with the City Attorney, it
appeared to be a conclusion we were opening many more problem areas
in trying to save time than we might accomplish, in fact, by the
adoption of stringent rules of procedure having to do with what
would be construed as new evidence,, raising many items that might
very well involve the Council in more protracted discussions than the
present rules, on.,the books and as implemented by the Council and
Planning Commission,,

PROCEDURE ON PUBLIC HEARINGS - Cpntinued
City Attorney, Mr. Williams° I think in substance that's right.
Legal objection is that the
•courts have held that once a matter is passed from the Planning
Commission with a favorable recommendation to it, the Planning Com-
mission has no jurisdiction. If it is sent back, it would have to
readvertise to hold further hearings. Also, there is the legal
objection that the Council holds a trial de novo, a new trial,
completely independent of what was heard in front of the Planning
Commission and not rejecting anything which would be prejudicial
and proper to the proponent. This may thwart what the State law says.
The practical objection is that if you have to send to the Planning -
Commission any case where new evidence is offered, it would offer
the opponents the opportunity to always offer new evidence, thereby
delaying the conclusion of the case, making the Planning Commissio-n.
hear it twice, having it come back to you, you hear it twice, and
what's to prevent it happening a third time and a fourth time and
a fifth time?
Motion by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Gillum, and
carried, that this matter be held over to the meeting of July 25, 1966
and that the staff and City Attorney are requested to circulate
among the Council before that date the proposed ordinance and the
draft of a possible revision in hearing procedures.

CITY MANAGER
CONDEMNED BUILDINGS AT
CORPORATION YARD m REPLACEMENT
Mayor Krieger. You have received from the staff
a report dated July 8th which
indicates certain alternatives and certain recommendations. I have
discussed with the staff this notation on the agenda item of referring
this back to the Planning Commission with the thought that this is
•not a matter to be referred to them,, It can and might properly be
acted upon tonight,,
Councilman Nichols. I think all urgency should
attach itself to these proposals.
There is every indication that the staff has looked at this carefully
and are suggesting the most prudent and possible answer to their
problems,
Motion by Councilman Nichols, seconded by Councilman Snyder, and
carried, that the recommendation of the staff being a combination of
Alternates 1 and 3 from the report of the Director of Public Services
dated July 89 1966 be approved bar the City Council and that the staff
be authorized to proceed as rapidly as possible with the preparation
of plans and specifications to solicit competitive bids and to remove
the existing structures as soon as possible,

I�ARIC EL LEN IMPROVEMENT ®Continued
Councilman Nichols-, There is an element in this that
concerns me o -If-we go on to a
given section such as we did earlier in this evening where private
property owners at their own expense improved a majority of the area
and a minority of property owners remaining have not improved it, I
can see the justification in my own mind for the use of the 191.1 Act
in that it is the will of the majority speaking, But it seems to
me in an instance of this sort where we are utilizing the great
majority of people that is public property that some different
implication attaches itself to creating a district and improving a
district which in effect gives no possibility whatsoever that the
residents in that area could, in fact, protest it out of .existence,
It seems to me it is more a device and I'would suspect -m
Councilman Gleckmano I see where those remarks -have
a lot of merit, It is just
unfortunate that we are talking about this area first and not some
other area, I think the job should. be done and 1911 Act is the only
way we are ever going to get it accomplished, I feel that in this
particular instance with the City and the school district owning
the majority of the land, the City might pay for the sidewalks, which
is usually recommended near the schools as recommended in No, 4 and
the right-of-way, but the curbs and gutters should be paid by the

is saying that in return -for the
City -paying for sidewalks we actually expect to charge the property
owner for curbs and gutters and right-of-way acquisition under.the
1911 Act without them paying,
Councilman Snyder-, If we asked them to pay for it
it would still be added to the

much as they would give it,

JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
City Manager, Mr. Aiassao
(Gave summary of this matter.)
Councilman Nichols-, I have a statement on -this. I
would like to make. From the
very beginning many many months ago when the matter of development
of the Civic Center came up and the initial discussion following the
defeat of the Civic Center Bond Issue revolved around lease -purchase,
•I took the position -in opposition to that and took the position that
the Council should return first to the voters. In the -long months
after that -have -intervened since then the City Council has been
constantly-f.aced.with gravely increasing pressures -for housingour
police facilities, our City Hall facilities and in fact, we are
spending thousands and thousands of dollars to,try-to provide.
temporary facilities Subsequent to the time I took the position
that I did, the Legislature of the State of -California passed an
enabling ac-t-that provides for a city to participate -with other powers
in joint authority projects. Since that vehicle first -became
available, I have studied the matter carefully and I have determined
for myself two important points-, One, that the cost of financing
a development under a joint powers agreement would be identical --with
or closely identified with the cost of acquiring facilities under.
the traditional bonding approach. Secondly, I have concluded that
the City Manager can, in fact, finance and make the payments.for
this facility out of existing civic revenues without any increase
in taxationa Therefore, at this time I would like publicly to
withdraw my,opposition to the authority financing method for.the
Civic Center program of the City of West Covina and to go on record
as lending my full support and whatever influence I may have -to
encourage the consummation.of a joint powers agreement between the
City of West Covina and the County in order that this City may
finally at last have with the County these badly needed facilities.
Councilman Gleckman-, I think this -is the -best method
and the way to go for -the City

With the information available to me now,on this joint authority,
which was not given to me at that time, I would like to say that I
support Mr, Nichols and Mr, Gleckman in their feeling, because -of
my investigation into the public authority that I -could and will
support this if this is the feeling of the majority of the Council
that this is the way we want to go to obtain the necessary.facilities

Motion by Councilman Nichols-, seconded. by Councilman Snyder, and
carried, that the Council direct the City Manager and authorize him to
proceed to negotiate at the staff level on Points 1, 29 39 and

we further unanimously direct the City Manager to convey to the.Board

Is.there any Councilman desiring
to have that City Council parking
area preserved?.
I think it is senseless.
The staff will be directed to
remove that sign on their way
out tonight.
You have authorized me to go
ahead on the Civic Center and the
Annexation. We had 54 responses as first preference on the Civic
Center and 11 for miscellaneous. This would make 65 people. This
may be an unwieldy committee but we wanted everybody interested
in finding out about this subject matter to work with it and on it
and to have the opportunity, at least9 so the strategy is to have two
orientation meetings and I believe they are the 19th and the following
Wednesday, the 27th. They will be held at the City Hall. The
lx,zr pose of these orientation meetings will be to indicate the function
of a citizens' blue ribbon committees to provide them with some back-
ground on the Civic Center, to provide a guided tour of the City Hall
and the Police facilities that we presently have, and some indication
to them as to.the time requirementif their participation is going to
be forthcoming on this particular matter. From this we intend to poll
the people attending these orientation meetings for those that seriously
desire the appointment to the committee. All those who indicate the
desire after the orientation meeting will be appointed to the committee.
I am going to ask Councilmen to serve as Council liaison on these
committees. Councilman Gillum already has one, the Central Business
District,, The Civic Center I am going to ask Councilman Snyder to
be Council, liakson. On Annexation Committees, we have 16 affirmative
responses of people interested' in this. All 16 will be appointed to
this committee, and assuming that their interest is still in existence
and we are going to ask Councilman Gleckman if he will act as
Council liaisDn with that committee. There will be staff assistance
available.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
Councilman Gilliam. Representatives of the City have
met with different large firms
and discussed what the City has to offer. We are stall in the process
of contacting these people and getting their feelings and trying to
determine the direction. At the moment, it is somewhat of'a standstill
because we are investigating different areas in which to approach on
new businesses, things .of this type. At the moment there is nothing
of great imper Lance to report except as a City and the Central Business
.District we are trying to work on these areas.

ANNEXATION PROTEST
Councilman Gleckman-. I asked this evening one of the
people involved in the protest
why he was against the City as far as annexation,, Actually he
first commented that he was not in agreement in the type of literature
or information being given by the annexation against to the City of
West Covina and.he would so state at his next committee meeting,
within that group that he belonged,, But, he did state that personally
he feels he would not like to annex to this City because he felt that
the City was not progressive enough and that some of the other cities
surrounding the City of West Covina were much more progressive in that
they have a new city hall, et cetera,,
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Councilman Snyder-. It has been brought to my
attention that perhaps in the
area of public relations that the news media could perhaps write more
objective stories if they had access to more background material other
than what they can glean out of the Minutes and sitting .here. I
am wondering if it is feasible or advisable to provide the reporters
with some of the background material we get in a regular packet,,
