Councilman Shearer: Mr. Mayor,.. I have three questions. One with
regard to Item 2 (a) summary of action of the ;4c.
Planning Commission meeting of April 12. On
my agenda I see three items ruled out.
Mr. Aiassa: Those items were highlighted for you, rather
than indicating a cross out,
Councilman Shearer: The second item I am a little hesitant to
bring up because the last time I did I opened
up a rather lengthy discussion, but it is with
regard to the Youth Advisory Commission request - and I see we do have
a couple of members present - but our recommendation is to "receive
and file". Does that mean we are approving or disapproving their
request for funds since the meeting is this week?
Mr. Aiassa: That meeting is off,
Councilman Shearer: Thank you. I wondered because I was not
objecting but I did not want them to not
be able to go because of our not approving
the funds. The last item I have is with
regard to Item 5 (b). Is there any cost to the City regarding this?
Mr. Zimmerman: Councilman Shearer, there is no direct cost
to the City. The school handles the
compensation insurance and all other costs,
The children will be at City Hall and it will. take some staff time
but there is no outright compensation.
Councilman Chappell: Mr. Mayor, a comment with regard to Item 2 (b).
I received a couple of phone calls on is
regarding a request for a variance for a
school. Did we have anyone at the Planning Commission meeting that
evening?
Councilman Shearer: Yes, I was present,
Councilman Chappell: Do you feel there is a need to call.thi.s up by
Council? I was asked to have this done by a
citizen but if you were there and you got the
input that I get from the recommendation, perhaps we don't need to.

CITY COUNCIL 4/24/72 Page Four
CONSENT CALENDAR - Cont'd.
Councilman Shearer: I can only express my own personal opinion.
I felt while there was opposition from a
number'of residents in the neighborhood,
the opposition centered around the increase in traffic. They contend,
and I would be the last to dispute, that there is a traffic problem
•on Puente Avenue being a very narrow street; however, any facility
that would go in there would not require a variance because it .is
zoned Office -Professional and would result in an increase in traffic.
So on that basis, since this was the basis for opposition, I
personally feel the action of the Planning Commission is probably the
action I would take if it were voted on by Council. If one member of
the Council wishes to,call it up I have no objection.
Mayor Young: If I may comment, I received a phone call
from perhaps the same person - I don't know -
and have quite frankly committed that I would
request that the matter be called up for a hearing. I note it was
approved by the Planning Commission in a 3 to 2 vote. And incidentally
I appreciate having this brought to our attention in that detailed
fashion. It is my intention to request with Council approval that this
item be called up. (No objections.)
Motion by Councilman Shearer, seconded by Councilman Chappell and
carried, that Item 2 (b)Unclassified Use Permit No. 176 and Variance
No. 674 be called up by Council.
Mayor Young: One further comment before opening to the
audience, and that is on Item 1 (c) of Written
Communications. The recommendation is to
"refer to the City Attorney and this regards a postcard from
"Concerned Parents" regarding the legalization of mara-Juana. I
personally see. no point in referring the matter to the City Attorney
because the issue is a social issue. It is against the law, we don't
need the City Attorney to tell us that, we know it. It is a felony
and the courts do have the option to treat it as a misdemeanor in
certain circumstances. In others it has to be treated as a felony.
I think if Council chooses to take a position on this I think it should
be done, I don't see any point in referring it to the City Attorney,
Councilman Shearer: Are you aware of any legislation proposed on
the floor that we could formally propose to
take action on?
Mayor Young: I am not personally aware of it but I have
seen a movement made in some public circles
to make possession in itself legal and
a sale illegal, which seems a little ridiculous. I am not sure
what you would do about the person who grows his own, or whether
you would encourage growing your own crops, and it does seem to
flourish in West Covina. I would think if we were to make poss6ss.ion
legal we might as well legalize the sale and grab the taxes on it
because we copped out on the moral issue anyhow.
Councilman Shearer: Personally I am 100% opposed to any legaliza-
tion in this area. I think it would behoove
us to wait until legislation was introduced.
I think9pposi_nq something like this at this time is like a windmill
type of thing, so until such time there is specific legislation to
oppose or support I would go along with the recommendation rather than
refer to the City Attorney just to receive and file this unsigned
request.
Councilman Chappell: That brings up a good point. I would ask our
City Manager and City. Attorney to watch for
any bills that might be presented in the Assembly in California and
give us the opportunity to come out in opposition of legalized

marijuana. I certainly want to make my position clear in that area.
So with that statement I feel we can accept the recommendation and
refer it to the City Attorney.
Mr. Aiassa: Mr. Mayor, the only reason staff has put it
• "refer to the City Attorney" this will put
the City Attorney on notice so that he will
post the Council on any of these legislations and bring the Council
up-to-date with a history of the status, etc. That is the only
reason we did it this way, we wanted to save time for the Council.
Mayor Young: With that thought in mind - Councilman
Shearer, what is your position at this point?
I see no point in the City Attorney writing us
a report stating that the use of marijuana is illegal.
Councilman Shearer: If this will keep Mr. Wakefield awake as to
legislation )I suggest we leave it as it is.
Mayor Young: Are there any comments from the audience on
any of the Consent Calendar items?
John Lawrence I would like to thank the Council for calling
1814 E. Puente Ave., up the issue of the unclassified use permit
West Covina and variance on Puente Avenue just off the
corner of Azusa. Not being too familiar with
Council procedure I assume since it has now
been called up it will have a public hearing at some date in the future.
If that is the case then my constituents and I will wait until that
public hearing to voice our opposition to that unclassified use permit.
Mayor Young: I believe, Mr. Lawrence, your assumption is
correct.
Motion by Councilman Shearer, seconded.by Councilm.an'Chappell, to
approve Consent Calendar Items 1 through 7.
Mayor Young: Before voting I might note that Item 1 (a)
has already been answered by a letter from
the City Attorney received this evening, so
I think that would dispose of it.
Motion carried on roll call vote as follows!

TRACT NO. 29126 LOCATION: East side of Azusa Avenue,
BRUTOCO DEVELOPMENT CO. southerly of Francisqu.ito Avenue,
(Council reviewed Engineer's report.)
Mr. Aiassa: You have received a staff report along with
recommendations. There are three parts to
this recommendation. Two resolutions and
approval of the revised Tentative Tract Map.
RESOLUTION NO. 4551 "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WEST COVINA DEDICATING CERTAIN CITY
ADOPTED OWNED PROPERTY TO PUBLIC STREET PURPOSES TO
BE KNOWN AS AROMA DRIVE AND DIRECTING THE
RECORDATION THEREOF. (1 foot lot)°"
RESOLUTION NO. 4552 "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WEST COVINA APPROVING FINAL MAP OF TRACT
ADOPTED NO. 29126, ACCEPTING AN AGREEMENT BY THE SUB-
DIVIDER AND SURETY .BONDS."
I believe there is only one element here that
the Council might be somewhat concerned -about. There are two tenta-
tive maps and I think the revised tentative map has been, filed to
comply with the final map. Is that correct, Mr. Munsell? (Answered:
Yes) The first tentative map did not leave a minor parcel between the
ball park and the project area to'be developed.
Councilman Shearer: Mr. Mayor, there was considerable discussion
at the Planning Commission hearing on this
project; however, there was absolutely none
regarding the tentative tract, it, was just a minor revision and
there was no opposition. I would recommend approval.
Mr. Aiassa: I would also like to mention this parcel
being left undeveloped has a.,very high degree
of slope and it is kind of an elongated thing,
so it might be difficult to come in with a precise plan of development.
The second tentative map establishes it as a second parcel, I believe.
Councilman Shearer: Well this change will not e. change the slope.
p
It ids sloped now and it was before and it will
remain sloped.
Mr. Aiassa: The Tentative map establishes it as a separate
parcel.
Mayor Young: That is in the case it would not be developed
and it would be somebody's problem for land-

scaping, maintenance, weed abatement, etc..
Councilman Chappell: Who owns it, Mr. Aiassa?
• Mr. Aiassa: The same owner.
.Councilman Chappell'. So it will probably appear on the weed
abatement program.
Mayor Young: It would be a little hard getting a grader up
there - wouldn't it?
Mr. Aiassa: Well )I just wanted Council to be advised of -
it for the future.
Mayor Young: Is there any further discussion?
Councilman Chappell: Mr. Mayor, one thing before we move on. The
City Manager is telling us something here and
I wonder, are you recommending that we dis-
approve this resolution Mr. Aiassa?
Mr. Aiassa: Well the only thing I would like Council to
have knowledge of is that there is a parcel of
land between a ball field and an area that
is under development and the land was offered to the City and we felt
it had no benefit to the.City and in such condition that it would not.
even benefit the ball park. That is about all I can point out to -the
Council. If it is not of .anyvalue to -the City the question is what
will happen to it in the future? I am just laying the groundwork
now that sometime in the future that land is going to come in for a
development plan.
Mayor Young: Mr. Chappell has raised a point _ there does
appear to be a warning inherent in your state-
ment to us, Mr. Aiassa,
Councilman Shearer: But the fact remains/gentlemen, as I said
before.,this is a slope today and will be a
slope tomorrow and will always be a slope.
There is nothing we can do as I see it by Council debating whether it
can or cannot be developed, and evidently it cannot for any constructive
purposes. It is privately owned and will remain privately owned and I
am sure no one on this Council will vote to take it over to relieve
the owner of the responsibility; when. he does come in for development
it will have to be done in accordance with city requirements, just as
any other slope in the City.
Mr. Aiassa: The only point is the original, tract map, which
was the basis for the final tract map which
usually follows, had encompassed this entire
parcel as a parcel of the same development now being developed and since
then it has been revised and this portion (two lots) have been with-
drawn from the original tentative map. That is the only point I want
to make.
Mayor Young: I think what we have before us is a recommenda-
tion and we are aware of the situation and we
do not have an alternative offered so I would
think it would be appropriate in that event if there is no further
discussion to move forward with this item one way or the other. Does
the recitation by the City Manager properly constitute the reading of
the headings of the resolutions, Mr. Wakefield?
Mr. Wakefield: Yes sir, but the Tentative Tract Map as -revised
should be approved by separate action and the

Council if they have the corrected report?
There is a correction at the end of the second
paragraph pertaining to directions. (Council .indicated they had the
corrected report.)
Councilman Shearer: Who prepared the plan for these projects?
Mr. Lippitt: The City of West Covina staff prepared the
plans.
Councilman Shearer: As I recall we have a current ontract with
Gruen to develop an overall, report on the City -
is that correct?
Mr. Lippitt: Yes and that has been virtually completed and
they are now in the process of printing up the
reports and doing the graphs. One reason it
was held up was because the city°s urban area waa-_Q_xtended to include
the whole City,) whereas when the agreement was madet only included
about half' the City.

HOTLINE FEDERAL GRANT Mr. Wakefield: Mr* Mayor and members of
PROPOSAL Council, there is a staff
report that goes along
with this item. I
assume it is on the. City Attorney°s agenda simply because the filing
of the grant application requires the adoption of a resolution.

Council discussion regarding the staff report
or the recommendation?
Councilman Nichols: No, the report is a duplication of the original

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Young: I would like to say that
if we don't have too many
public hearings during my term of office I would
hope to have Oral Communications around the hour of 8030 P.M., which is
probably the hour most people have arrived and haven't left the Council
Chambers.
Martha Reynolds Mr. Mayor and members of Council, just a brief
1446 Hollencrest Drive "thank you", especially to Mr. A.iassa,
West Covina Mr. Zimmerman and Rick Oakley, who worked so
very, very hard on the Laud proposal, and
especially to the Council and the citizens of West Covina who have
always shown good faith toward Hot Line. Thank you, very much,

Mayor Young: Before moving into the City Manager's agenda
if you will excuse me)gentlemen, but while we
have perhaps our maximum attendance, I would
like to remind everyone here and the Council, that Wednesday,
April 26, is Toluca Day, our Sister City Day in West Covina. The
festivities will center down in the West Covina Center,basically,on
Glendora Avenue near the freeway. There will be booths, various'
kinds of entertainment, arts and crafts, etc. I haven't inquired if
all of this activity is legal but either way it should be a lot of
fun. It would be nice if Council members show up and citizens and

help in making that day a successful event. Also this is part of
the International Spring Fair. The hours actually are from.12 noon to
8 P.M.
Councilman Shearer: If you assure me it is all legal )I might
attend.
Mayor Young: I will assure you of no raid during your
presence at the party. I am sure these are
all fine activities.

last year?

that phase.

RE SOUTHEASTERLY (Staff Report)
ANNEXATION DISTRICT
NO. 217 Councilman Chappell: Mr. Mayor, a question.
In the report there were
two names that we weren't able to get ® was it
because they were out of town or something or
just not interested?
Mr. Aiassa: Glen Smith made the contacts and I believe one
was out of town and the other wasn't ® it
couldn't be done with 100/ signin9)so it will
have to go to vote.
Councilman Chappell: There was a good percentage in .favor.
Motion by Councilman Chappell, seconded by Councilman Shearer and
carried, to approve this annexation and authorize staff to forward
application to the Local Agency Formation Commission and take such
other steps necessary'to complete this annexation.
CIVIC CENTER PARKING Mayor Young: You have before you the
STRUCTURE BIDS report from city Staff
with the list of
bidders and the amounts of bids, along with the Staff recommendation
which is supported by Mr. Frank Sata who is present this evening.
Are there any comments or questions?
Councilman Chappell: Yes, Mr. Mayor, I thought the bridge was
sort of important and a"must"type situation
and I see the first recommendation is to
omit it. Mr. Aiassa, is there some change?
Mr. Aiassa: No, we are putting it to bid as an alternate.
The only thing we are omitting is the side-
walk going around the parking structure, that
is tied in with.the CBD Area.
Mayor Young: Would not all of these items .Listed in
Mr. Sata°s letter be omitted if necessary?
Bid separately and omit in the order of
least importance of the overall project until we get down to a price
within.our budget - is that the thought?
Mr. Aiassa: What I wanted to point out is that the
alternates we are trying for on the rebid is
- 14
CITY COUNCIL 4/24/72 Page Fifteen
CITY MGR.: Civic Center Parking Structure Bids
to bring it within focus of the amount of money we are able to go
to bond which is $970,000.
Mayor Young: Well )my question is, it is possible we would
omit all of these items mentioned in Mr. Sata°s
letter including the bridge if we have to
and they would be omitted in order of priority?
Mr. Aiassa: Yes, that is correct. I believe it should be
pointed out that the staff and Mr. Sata have
spent considerable time talking to contractors
and I have also talked to one contractor, and as we go for rebids
and with the alternates as shown on the proposal, this will give and
permit the parking structure bids to probably come closer to our
original estimate.
Councilman Nichols: Mr. Mayor, I am still not clear on this matter.
The recommendation specifically states it is a
revision of the plans and specifications and the
revisions are to include the omission of these points 1 through 6,
and then the conversation has been along the lines that these will be
bid but as alternates. So are we omitting these in the specifications
or are we including them as alternates?
Mr. Fast: Mr. Mayor and members of Council, perhaps I
can clarify the staff report. We are omitting
the items as indicated in the staff report
from the base bid. The base bid.will be bid without the items as
outlined here. However, beyond the base bid we will ask for alternate
bids and on those alternate bids we may, assuming -the budgetary
figures are not exceeded, add back those items according to priority
and/or that the funds will allow.
Mr. Aiassa: The main item pointed out in Mr. Sata°s letter
is that if bids do become completely
bad and we have to make omission those will be
the sequence of omission, otherwise they will be alternates.
Motion by Councilman Nichols, seconded by Councilman Shearer and
carried, to request the Joint Powers Governing -Board to reject all
bids per the recommendation of city staff and the architect, and
further approve the revised plans and specifications as submitted by
the architect and authorize the Public Authority to readvertise for
bids on the revised plans and specifications.
.Mayor Young: Mr. Sata ® thank you very much for being here.
Your report is quite adequate.
FRANK SATA PROGRESS Motion by Councilman Nichols, seconded by

days to Mrs. Joan Kerckhoff, under the condition that it be paid
back to the City from sick leave and vacation time accrued after her
return to work.
Mr. Aiassa: One further comment, Mr. Mayor. As you noted
Item 7 was deleted from my agenda. Mr. Eliot
was previously authorized by Council to
go to Sacramento with regard Ito the Sales Tax accopnting, and I would
just like to,advise Council that Mr. Eliot will be staying over one
day to cover the Statewide Tax and Legislation Conference which .is
in the hotel across the street from the State offices. This will be
held on April 26, 1972.
Also on the item regarding the joint meeting
with the Youth Advisory Commission set for May 1, 1972, Council didn't
say if that was agreeable or not..
(Council indicated their motion to "receive and file°° was acceptance;
Councilman Shearer pointed out the exact time -was not established.
Discussion followed and Council decided to meet at 7:30 P.M. in the
Council Chambers.)

Mayor Young: At this time it has been requested that
Council adjourn to a Personnel Session with
the City Manager and there is also a request
for an Executive Session. Twill now recess the City Council, for that
purpose and we will reconvene immediately thereafter. Mr. Wakefield
will be present for these sessions.
(COUNCIL CONVENED AT 9:04 P.M. COUNCIL RECONVENED AT 9:39 P.M.)
PERSONNEL SESSION Mayor Young: Mr. A.iassa/ you have a
short presentation to
make based on the
Personnel Session.
Mr. Aiassa: Yes, Mr. Mayor. There is a Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of West Covina
and the West Covina City Employees' Association
and in this Memorandum the parties mutually agree to the following
salary and fringe benefits with an effective date of July 1, 1972:
1)An educational reimbursement program will be implemented and made
effective July 1, 1972. Details of the program to be mutually agreed
to by the City of West Covina and the West Covina City Employees
Association. 2) A minimum salary increase of'51-2/ for all
miscellaneous employees.
And further discussions will commence in
April, 1972 to cover additional salary raises and fringe benefits. It
is my intent to propose to City Council the recommendation that in the
1972-73 budget this 5z/ increase is only to the miscellaneous
employees and the Council will then have to approve whatever they
decide to approve for adoption in the final budget.
Mayor Young: May We have a motion to receive and file the
repprt?
So moved by Councilman Chappell, seconded by
Councilman Shearer and carried.
MAYOR'S REPORTS
PROCLAMATIONS: Mayor Young: I have been asked to
proclaim "March of
Dimes Healthy Baby Day" May 9, 1972. Hearing
no objections I will so proclaim.
Also, "Freedom from Hunger Day" May 13, 1.972.
Hearing no objections I so proclaim. '
There were other proclamations requested
Mr. Aiassa, they were not brought before me except by telephone call
and I didn't write them down.
Mr. Aiassa: One is Secretary week and that is this
current week.
n
Mayor Young: Hearing no objections, I so proclaim
"Secretary Week."
Mr. Aiassa: And I believe Public Works Week is one of the
other items.
Mr. Zimmerman: Mr. Mayor that was to be the week of May 14th
which we /prepared for the agenda of May 8th
but we would be glad to have it approved at
any time.
- 17 -
CITY COUNCIL 4/24/72 Page Eighteen
PROCLAMATIONS
Mayor Young: If there are no objections I will proclaim
"Public Works Week" the week of May 14th.
COUNCIL LIAISON Mayor Young: Another item is the matter
APPOINTMENTS of Council liaison
appointments for the next
quarter. I will now present to Council the
recommendations that have been made by myself working with Mr. Aiassa.
Planning Commission: Nichols, Alternate - Chappell; Recreation & Parks:
Shearer, Alternate - Young; Personnel Board: Chappell, Alternate -
Lloyd; Human Relations Commission: Lloyd, Alternate - Nichols;
Chamber of Commerce: Young, Alternate - Lloyd; West Covina School
Board: Chappell, Alternate - Shearer; Youth Advisory Commission:
Shearer, Alternate - Chappell.
If there are objections to these recommenda-
tions ) perhaps they should be voiced.
Councilman Nichols: I would like to callthe attention of the
chair to a problem that Councilman Nichols
has always had and why he has always attempted
to get his Planning Commission appointments in the summer months,
because the lst and 3rd Wednesdays are the meeting nights and
those are also professional career obligation nights for me.
Mayor Young: Can we perhaps reverse the order - - but
that kind of loads up Councilman Chappell.
Councilman Chappell: Yes that is five nights per month for me
Mr. �Mayor, as I county and also adjourned
meetings of the Planning Commission would
be six or seven nights a month and I just couldn't handle that many.
Councilman Nichols: I would be glad to double up on any of the
other assignments that wouldn't conflict
and I certainly expect to take the Planning
Commission meetings during the summer months.
Mayor Young: It seems grossly unfair to ask Councilman
Shearer to continue. I think you have had
about nine months on that Commission.
Councilman Shearer: I believe it has been something like that.
Mayor Young: Well for the moment I will suggest .
CouWcilman Lloyd as the representative since
he is not here and leave Chappell as the
alternate. If we have to adjust it further that will leave me for
Planning. On the annual appointments suggWstions have been made
for the East San Gabriel Valley Planning Committee: Mr.. Chappell,
Alternate - Lloyd; SCAG: Lloyd, Alternate -• Chappell; League of
California Cities: Chappell, Alternate - Young; Civil Defense
Planning Board, Mr. Aiassa apparently is the traditional representa-
tive; Sanitation District Board is taken care of and I wonder if
Councilman Chappell could handle the assignment this month as the
alternate?
Councilman Chappell: I will be happy to.
Mayor Young: Regional Library Board: Shearer, Alternate -
Mr. Aiassa.
Councilman Chappell: Mr. Mayor, that is a middle of the day meeting
and as I understand it staff has been attend-
ing those meetings. (Mr. Aiassa agreed.)
CITY COUNCIL 4/24/72
ANNUAL APPOINTMENTS - Contd.
Page Nineteen
Mayor Young: Independent Cities: Lloyd, Alternate -
Shearer; Water District: Nichols, Alternate -
Chappell. Are there objections to these
appointments? Do you feel sort of neglected) Russ, you are not on
too many of these?
Councilman Nichols: It is your pleasure, Mayor.
Mayor Young: It is a chore. We do have certain
Commission appointments expiring on
June 30, 1972 and I think consideration should
be underway very quickly. This has been
furnished to the City Council before; Mr. Sornborger°s term expires
on the Personnel Board; Messrs. Beem, Smith and Teall, their terms
expire on the.Human Relations Commission; Robert Jackson on Planning
Commission; Doc Sooter and Bemoll on the Recreation and Park Commission,
and all of the Youth Advisory Commission expires. Some of the members
of the Youth Advisory Commission, it will be impossible for them
to serve, I understand, because they will be going away to college.
We do have on that Commission, I can verify from my work as liaison,
some very fine active alternates who come to the meetings and are
available to the Commission and I think they should be given some
serious consideration. I will submit that to you for now. I don't
believe any further action is required at this particular moment.
Councilman -Chappell: One thing, Mr. Mayor, in the past the Mayor has
contacted those up for reappointment to find out
if they really want to stay if Council re-
appoints them. In some cases they have no desire to stay and then we
can readily move ahead to replace them.
Mayor Young: Is that the pleasure of Council, that the
Mayor should take this action? Hearing no
objections then I shall assume it is agreeable
to do so. Mr. Aiassa, will staff provide
assistance in that respect? (Mr. Aiassa answered "yes".)
COUNCILMEN"S REPORTS
Councilman Shearer: I would like to move that an appropriate
perma plaque resolution covering our former
Treasurer, Mabel Hoffland, commending her
services to the City be adopted this evening.
Seconded by Councilman Chappell and carried.
The City Attorney presented:

Councilman Chappell Mr. Mayor, for the sake of five names appearing

Mayor Young: As it is understood Mr. Lloyd can be polled
thereforehe will be polled upon his return
from Hawa/ii in a few days and you can prepare
the document accordingly.
• Councilman Shearer: Are we still having lunch with Supervisor
5chabarum?
1
Mr. Aiassa: Yes, it starts at 12 noon at Starks.
Mayor Young: And anyone that has items for discussion with
Mr. Schabarum, please prepare them in advance.
Councilman Chappell: I would like to say, Mr. Mayor, that this past
week has been a very pleasant one. Not that I
objected to attending them but it was very nice
to have one full week without any assignments. I now look forward
to working with you on the assignments given to me this evening.
I did have one question. While wearing the hat of Mayor a number of
cities were requested to write a letter to Mr. Parkhurst and to this
date I have only received one, from Mayor Gregory of Baldwin Park.
This is something we are bringing up this Wednesday in conjunction with
the request that the County Sanitation District have an appraisal of the
B.K.K. dump site and some other 583 acres for possible acquisition for
a park site in the future. Mr. Zimmerman is handling this, is it
possible that we ask him if he has received any other information on
this so we can go there with at least the five or six Mayors I asked
to do this?
Mr. Zimmerman: We have done some further checking on this
today and we find that evidently due to
changes in the Mayor in various cities there
were a couple that had not sent in letters. There were three that
came in and we will tomorrow make arrangements with the two new
Mayors of the other cities to get the additional letters and they
will perhaps have to be hand delivered at the Wednesday night meeting.
Mr. Aiassa: We will have Mr. Zimmerman go with you,
Councilman Chappell.
