Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus elaborated on this request,
stating that the entire area was uncurbed; that this man would
like to go ahead and install curbs, not waiting for the City
to do so out of gas tax funds; that Mr. Mark felt the installa-
tion of sidewalks would serve no purpose.
Discussion followed wherein it was the general consensus of
opinion that this was the responsibility of the County of Los
Angeles; that a document has been in existence since 1953
stating that the County of Los Angeles would install curbs;
that before any gas tax funds are allocated, this matter
should be more thoroughly investigated.
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER ASMUS WAS INSTRUCTED TO SECURE ALL
AVAILABLE INFORMATION, CONFER WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY, AND THEN
GO TO THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGLES TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE, REPORT-

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of
Tract No. 21466, which had been presented to Council at the
last meeting for reapproval, stating that the County Recorder
had refused recordation, due to the expiration of the one
year maximum time limit since approval of the tentative map
by the Planning Commission, as stipulated under the State
Subdivision Map Act.
City Attorney Gorlick stated that the State Subdivision Map
Act expressly provides that any failure to record the Final
Map within one year from the date the tentative map Is ap-
proved shall terminate all proceedings and that before Final
Map may thereafter be recorded, a new tentative map shall be
submitted.
Discussion ensued.

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of a
Quarterly City Council Newsletter which would be distributed
to the citizens, informing and explaining the important
problems facing us as a community, soliciting their support
and understanding; he reported that last year Baldwin Park
published an annual report at a cost of approximately $700.00
which was well received and justified the expenditure, but
did.not,.hewever, provide the citizens with the type of infor.-
mati,on needed to draw them into the processes of government,
and that its value and effectiveness was lost from one year
to the next. Mr. Asmus requested approval to prepare and dis-
tribute to each home In Baldwin Park a quarterly City Council
newsletter during fiscal year 1960-61, at a cost of $500.00
each issue, and suggested that the funds originally budgeted
and contemplated for an annual report be used to partially
cover the cost of the newsletter, dispensing with the Annual
Report.
Considerable discussion followed wherein Councilman Bishop
stated that he felt the people of Baldwin Park would not be
Interested in that type of material, and that the money would
be wasted. However, the general consensus of opinion was that
there was a lot of merit to the plan and that the people wanted
to be Informed.
COUNCILMAN BLOXHAM MOVED THAT ONE ISSUE OF THE NEWSLETTER BE
PREPARED FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION AND DISTRIBUTED AT A

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of a
traffic study at Maine Avenue and Ramona Boulevard made by
City Engineer Young at the request of Council at the.meeting
of June 20, 1960. His findings determined that the basic
reason for confusion and near accidents was due to right hand
turns on red lights from the easterly lane on North Ramona
Boulevard and from the westerly lane on South Ramona Boulevard;
that the addition of any other signals would only prove more
confusing; that two No Right Turns on.Red Signal' signs were
being ordered to be placed at these critical locations.
Discussion followed wherein Mr. Asmus stated that he was going
to refer this report back to the City Engineer with regard to
increasing the time on the amber signal on Maine Avenue.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED THAT COUNCIL CONCUR WITH THE RECOMMENDA-
TIONS OF THE CITY ENGINEER AS SET FORTH IN HIS TRAFFIC STUDY AT
MAINE AVENUE AND RAMONA BOULEVARD. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED.
There were no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered
by Mayor Cole.

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of
alkali reaction in concrete slab floors, being a condition
existent to the City. He reported that City Engineer Young
had investigated some houses on hanning Street and one on
Harlan Avenue, with the conclusion that in order to determine
the actual cause of the trouble, a core testing program should
be Instituted, at a cost not to exceed $500.00.
Considerable discussion followed wherein Councilman Bloxham
stated that he had gone on several surveys with Building
Inspector Wood in which 125 houses had been visited that had
this problem. that it was a terrible mess and that
the homes affected are in the $10,000.00 $12,000.00 bracket.
Capt. D. W. Asquith, 13138 East Judith Street, Baldwin Park,
stated that when he bought their home it was supposed to have
been constructed as per the Building Code, but later he dis-
covered there were absolutely no footings under the house.
He further stated that there was no way of the inspector know-
ing that the contractor actually filled in after the forms had
been inspected and passed. that an unethical contractor
could easily put in a 3/4" slab instead of the required 4"
slab.
Further discussion ensued wherein the feasibility of amending
the Building Code to incorporate F.H.A. specifications was
considered; that the problem would not be solved until moisture
could be kept out of the slab; that the concrete association
should be contacted with regard to a chemical analysis being
made; that valuable information could be gained from the County
of Los Angles and the State Division of Housing.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED THAT THE REQUEST FOR ALLOCATION, NOT TO
EXCEED $500.00 FOR THE PURPOSE OF A RESEARCH STUDY OF THE PROB-
LEM, BE DENIED. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.

ChJef Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of the
Police Department work schedule for Administrative Officers
wherein-the-minute motion adopted on June 23, 1960, stated that
no two members of the Police Department supervisory personnel
shall serve during the-same watch, and requested that this be
rescinded. He stated that this present work schedule was not
working, and requested that Council authorize him and the Chief
of Police to modify the present work schedule to provide proper
administration of the department, at the same time, bu14ding
a work schedule that will provide maximum:supervision and effect-
ive administration without forcing both the Police Captain and
Lieutenant to work an almost impossible schedule by depriving
them of their normal 16 hours between shifts. Mr. Asmus request-
ed that two administrative officers be permitted to serve on the
same watch one day per week.
Considerable discussion ensued regarding administrative and
legislative responsibilities, the workability of the suggested
schedule, and the manner of employing dispatchers for the Police
Department.
