Motion by Councilman Gleckman, seconded by Councilman Gillum, and
carried, to receive and file the affidavits relative to this hearing,
• Mayor Krieger-,-... Mr, City Clerk, have you received
any written protests or objections
against the assessments or improvements as constructed or these
proceedings?
City Clerk, Mr, Flotten:
No; I have not,
Mr, Zimmerman: The property owner requested to fund
it this way whereas the neighbors
paid cash for it and we are merely going along with a petition he gave
us, More than one-half of the block was already improved and all of
the people agreed to go along and improve the remainder, However,
this one request is a special method of financing,
Mayor. Krieger:
or this report from the Assistant
owners liable to be assessed for
any other interested persons?
Mayor. Krieger:
Are there any oral protests or
objections against the assessment
City Engineer from the property
construction improvements or from

Let the record reflect that there are no
persons present this evening desiring

Code concerning the abatement of
certain nuisances in residential
zones approved by Planning Commission
Resolution No,, 1930,,
Hearing closed November 28, 1966; held over for report from City
Attorney and staff,,
Councilman Snyder, I would say that "A" has been
improved enough to make it acceptable,
but "B", particularly with regard to play equipment, I can see
perhaps on some cul-de-sac streets or side -on lots where play equipment
could conceivably be put there, however, not under this section,,
Councilman Nichols, On the other areas that were
corrected they substantially
reflect the thinking of the Council,, I don9t think much was said
about Section B,, I thought that there is still a statement in "B"
.that tends to equivocate, in my opinion, leaving it open to difficulty
of enforcement even if they tried to be fair,,
City Attorney, Mr,, Williams, Courts have been very lenient as
lone as you set forth some
administrative guide,, Where you have enumerated certain things and
say "and similar", almost universally the courts have approved that,,
I think legally it is a sufficient administrative guide,,
• Councilman Nichols: I am not quite certain that I would
go along with banning recreational
type of equipment from yards,, I approve of "A", "C", and I'D" without
any equivocation at,.__a11., __..,'PB" I am skeptical about,,
Councilman'Snyder, I tend to`;Agree,,

Mayor Krieger. In SubSection C the words that
bothered me were "such as", I
was concerned that we are limiting the items by that choice of words,
Might not we be better served by saying "including but not limited to"?
City Attorney, Mr, Williams. I think it means the same thing, I
think the "such as" includes most
the things intended by the Planning Commission to be prohibited, If
you wish to make it more embracive, I think your suggestion would be
a good one,
Mayor Krieger: If this is what the Planning
Commission was talking about, I
think this is what we ought to use, But, if the Planning Commission was
talking about something broader and used them only as illustrations,
I don't like the language,
City Attorney, Mr, Williams. I think the point is well taken,
If there are other specific objects
you wish to prohibit, I think they ought to be enumerated,
Mayor Krieger. What would the Council think of
taking "A", deleting "B", taking
"C" with the semicolon after "equipment", and taking "Do'?
Councilman
Nichols.
I would
support that,
Councilman
Snyder.
I would
'go along with that,
Councilman
Gillum.
I would
support that, also,
City Attorney, Mr, Williams. The wording in the first paragraph
as I have written the ordinance
simply has reversed the 24®hour provision to a different place, I
think the meaning is precisely the same though the wording is a little
bit reversed,
Councilman Nichols. "State of repair; disrepair". That
bothers me,
City Attorney, Mr, Williams; My ordinance is a little different
than that; "Any automobile, motorcycle,
boat or other conveyance in a state of being repaired, dismantled,
immovable, assembled or disassembled, , is the way I have it,

DEL NORTE SCHOOL PARKING LOT
Page Eleven
City Clerk, Mr, Flotten: We have a letter from Frank
Offenstein regarding Del Norte
School. Parking Lot dated December 7th, 1966,
Mayor Krieger; The question is does this Council
have any jurisdiction over a school
parking lot as far as lighting or bumper stops are concerned?
City Attorney, Mr, Williams: We have an ordinance that requires
of all persons certain lighting
and bumper stops that would apply to the school district if it is
reasonable, and they have the right to appeal if it is not reasonable,
Mayor Krieger: This is an objection by a citizen
asking that this Council take
action to install speed bumps and additional lighting on a school
parking lot,
City Attorney, Mr, Williams: I would say that it is entirely
inappropriate, It should be
addressed to the school district,
Motion by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Gleckman, that
this letter be referred to the West Covina Unified School District
and that the writer be informed that we have done so and that this is
not within our jurisdiction,
Councilman Gleckman: I would also like to request some
information coming back to us
from the school district so we know what the disposition of this
matter was,
Councilman Nichols: Mr, Aiassa, was -that particular
parking area, which is unique to
any school in the City in that it is a continuation, in effect, of a
dedicated street, was that parking lot ever dedicated to the City?
City Manager, Mr, Aiassa:
I don't think so but I'll have to
check,
Councilman Snyder: I will amend my motion to state
that the action suggested therein
be performed after the staff has, in fact, determined that this is
school property,
Councilman Gleckman:
I will accept the amendment,

S'WI.MMING POOL ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Page Fourteen
Motion by Councilman Nichols, seconded by Councilman Snyder, that the
Council direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending
Section 8118 of the Municipal Code as presented, and that Section 8119,
second paragraph, be deleted,
Mayor Krieger: I notice in the proposed draft of
the ordinance after the words "with
no opening therein" the words "other than doors or pates" have been left
out of the first paragraph, Is there some premeditation in that?
City Attorney, Mr, Williams: I don't think that is intentional,
Mayor Krieger: I don't understand this 8119,
The proposal, as I understand it,
is to retain the first paragraph of the existing ordinance,
City Attorney, Mr, Williams: Yes, The purpose has been to
include in 8118 certain provisions
that formerly were in 8119, 8119 .formerly exempted public swimming
pools and swimming pools on premises of hotels, motels, or apartment
houses, If the City Council approves the proposal, the requirement of
fencing would be made to apply to swimming pools on the premises of
hotels, motels, and apartment houses which now are exempted,
Councilman Snyder: I think in an inner court that the
walls of the apartment building
should constitute a fencing providing there are adequate gates at
the opening,
Councilman Nichols:
Councilman Snyder:
I will withdraw my motion,
I will withdraw my second,

WEST COVINA ® WALNUT WATER COMPANY
APPLICATION DATED DECEMBER, 1966
COMPARISON WITH SERVICE BY SUBURBAN
WATER COMPANY
Motion by Councilman Gleckman, seconded by Councilman Nichols, and
carried, that the reports on this matter be received and placed on file,
Councilman Gillum: On the first renort.dated December 9
sinned by Mr, Past I see something
that I think should concern all of us on the rate charge from Suburban,
(Gave summary of this matter,) I find another report received today
and to be honest with you, these reports don't jive up with the things
I have, I think I asked the staff to report on the total cost of the
water companies proposed by the Suburban and Walnut Valley, I made
reference to the fact that some day we might want to buy the water
®mpany, I think it would be to our benefit to check into this, I am
not happy with this report, It compares rates and that's all, There
are many, many other differences,
Councilman Snyder: The staff is not qualified to make
these other comparisons you asked
for, It is up to the P.U.C. to evaluate and to see what services are
the best, Isn't it in the best interests of the City to protest these
proposed rates?
City Manager, Mr, Aiassa: If you do, we had better have
sufficient data to substantiate
our stand, The P,U,C,'s job is to determine rate increases or rate
standards,
City Attorney, Mr, Williams: We can request that we be furnished
with a transcript of that which
takes place at these hearings, We would have to pay for it, The
staff of the P,U,C, represents the consumer, They would represent
the same thing normally that the City would represent,
Mayor Krieger: I think we would be better served
• to get a report from the staff as
to the type of deliberations they engaged in Wednesday and then make
our determination whether we want a transcript or not,
Councilman Gillum:
City Attorney, Mr, Williams:
Perhaps we could use our tape to
tape these meetings,
That would be up to the presiding
officer,
