City Clerk Berry verified the affidavit of publication and Mayor

liquor. City Attorney Martyn suggested that this matter be held

Recess Mayor Howard called a recess at 8:53 pm. The City Council
reconvened at 9:07 pm with all members present. Mayor Howard
pulled Oral Communications forward to be considered at this time.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Dave Ritchie, 1056 E. Knollcrest, Covina, addressed Council as
the president of the Pacific Coast Little League. His league utilizes
the ballfields at Palm View Park. He submitted a letter and
petition requesting that the ballfield lighting restrictions be
changed to allow his league to use the lights Friday and Saturday
evenings. He noted that their Board of Directors is not supportive
of playing ball games on Sunday.
Councilmember Herfert left the meeting at 9:13 pm due to a family medical emergency.
Council discussed the process for modifying the current procedures
and Public Services Director Collier noted the arduous process
experienced last time in addressing the lighting issue at the park.
The matter would need to be considered first by the Community
Services Commission, then the Planning Commission, and then
finally the City Council.
Councilmember Wong suggested that perhaps the Pacific
Coast Little League Board might find a quicker solution by
permitting a game or two on Sunday, rather than requesting the
City to initiate a long amendment process on the City organization
and the neighborhood residents.
Mayor Howard stated that the best the City Council can do
at this time is to refer the matter to the Community Services Com-
mission with a request to handle it in the most expeditious way.
