only. He maintained that if a street were put in across the
back of his property he would be paying for a street from the
front as well as from the back of his property.
Mr. Earl Gamble, 12877 Salisbury, protested because he had not
been told how the assessment would be made before the petition
was circulated.
Mr. Raymond Hon, 12800 Salisbury, asked how many feet he was
charged with, and also, why some areas recently constructed had
black top instead of concrete. Chief Administrative Officer

could be split unless there was a street put in across the
back; and also, whether they could Install their own approaches.

Mayor Cole stated Zone Exception Case No. 27, the second matter
set for public hearing at this meeting, would now be heard.
In regard to the case, City Clerk Balkus stated that proper
publication and posting had been made.
Acting Planning Director Teater explained that the zone exception
case was submitted by Mr. George Boardman, part owner of the
property a service station at the southwest corner of Bresee
and Los Angeles Streets, presently zonedC-I. The purpose of
the request was to construct a small building for the purpose
of lubrication and light automotive service. A public hearing
was held by the Planning Commission on January 15, 1959, and
the Planning Commission, after due consideration, recommended
approval of the request.
Mayor Cole asked if anyone wished to speak on behalf of the
request for zone exception.
Mr. George Boardman came forward and stated that he and his
partner, Mr. Marvin Andrews, had been operating the station
for some time, and he wished to guarantee the people in the
vicinity they were not going to operate any kind of business
other than what they had been doing.
Mr. George F. Miller, 4346 Bresee, stated that he lived across
the street from where the proposed building is to be erected,
and he could see no reason for objections, and that he was con-
fident the owners would not do anything other than the type of
work they had been doing.

Mr. Herman R. Clary, 13847 East Los Angeles, stated he lived
across the street north of the station, and in his estimation
a building would be an improvement and a great help; also,
the station had always been a clean place and he thought it
would continue to be.
Mr. Dwight Segelken, 4318 Jerry, said he had always found
very courteous service and a well-kept station. He believed
the building would be an improvement to the community and
of value to the people who live in the vicinity.
No one else expressed a desire to speak on behalf of the zone
exception and Mayor Cole asked if anyone wished to speak in
opposition.
Mrs. Hazel Druliner, 4347 North Bresee, spoke in opposition.
She stated their home was 221 feet from where the new building
is to be constructed, and because she was blind, her hearing
was more acute; therefore, she would be unable to sleep with
the noise so close to her bedroom.
Mr. T. E. Carpenter, 4346 North Jerry, stated that he protested
because there was continual noise from the station at-the
present time. He also maintained the building and zone change
would be a detriment to his property and a general nuisance
to the neighborhood.
Mr. Norman Druliner, 4347 North Bresee, stated he was strongly
opposed.
In rebuttal, Mr. George Boardman stated that the lady who ob-
jected had purchased the house approximately two years ago
the station was already in operation and she was familiar with
the fact that she was purchasing property adjoining business
property. He maintained the construction of the building and
working Inside would cut down on the present noise. If desired,
the rear wall of the building could be concrete block with no
openings.
Mayor Cole declared the hearing closed.
Considerable discussion followed and Mr. Marvin Andrews asked
if the hearing could be re-opened so he could testify. It was
the consensus of opinion the hearing should be re-opened in
order to arrive at a fair decision for all concerned. There-
fore, Mayor Cole declared the hearing open.
Mr. Marvin Andrews, 13852 E. Los Angeles Street, stated he was
part owner of the station and he had to have access to the
alley and could not install a six foot block wall fence; how-
ever, he would consider a concrete block wall across the back
of the proposed steel building.
Discussion continued before Mayor Cole again declared the hearing
closed.
Councilman Littlejohn moved that the zone exception case be re-
turned to the Planning Commission for further study with all
parties and with the suggestion that a wall be considered, and
returned to Council as soon as possible. Councilman Bishop
seconded. There were no objections and the motion carried
unanimously and was so ordered by Mayor Cole.

Council that the ninety day inactive fund of $100,000.00 on
deposit with the Bank of America should be redeposited or it
will automatically revert to the commercial account on February
20, 1959. He explained anticipated revenue and expenditures
through the months of February and March indicated that the
available cash position, minus the restricted funds, should
total about $117,000.00.
Considering the City's projected cash position as of April 1,
1959, and the fact that the actual disbursement of funds on
the City Hall purchase may not take place.until March 1959,
Mr. Asmus recommended that the $100,000.00 currently on deposit
in an inactive account be redeposited for an additional ninety
days.

recommendation of Chief Administrative Officer Asmus and that
he be instructed to authorize the redepositing of the

Í«Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
With reference to pavement hook-ups, City Engineer Young
presented a revised list, Exhibit A" for approval and a
request for calling for bids to be received March 2, 1959.
Mr. Young stated that Exhibit A" had been revised to in-
clude all pavement hook-ups where curb and gutters have
been installed to February 2, 1959, with the exception of
hook-ups to be done by the City which were shown on Exhibit
B-Revised".
City Engineer Young also requested approval to amend the
specifications by adding the statement, The Contractor
may be permitted to spread the asphaltic concrete by
methods other than self-propelled mechanical spreading
and finishing equipment".
Mr. Young stated the street hook-ups listed on Exhibit
B-Revised" could be done by City forces because they were
small hook-ups and were selected because the width was not
too great and there was very little excavation necessary.
City Attorney Gorlick advised that Section 37902 of the
Government Code stated that if the expenditures required
for a public project street work exceeded $2,000.00,
it should be contracted for and let to the lowest responsible
bidder; however, there was a provision that after bids were
received and rejected the Council could pass a resolution
that the project could be performed more economically by day
labor and the City could do the work by force-account.
Mr. Gorlick said if that procedure were followed there would
be no question as to the legality; however, the section could
be construed to mean several jobs included in one project.
The section is open to construction. It could mean several
jobs included in one project but that he was inclined to con-
strue it to mean that the separate jobs were separate projects
as long as the City Engineer so regarded them because they
were not necessarily connected with one another. If City
Engineer Young wanted to set them up as separate projects he
could either each one or each group as a separate project.
Discussion followed.
Councilman Holmes stated that since the City was getting addi-
tional equipment, the work could be done more economically and
moved that from now on, after this project was disposed of,
that the City forces make all hook-ups 12 feet or less in width.
Councilman Littlejohn seconded. There were no objections and
the motion carried unanimously and was so ordered by Mayor Cole.
Councilman Holmes moved that Council concur with the recom-
mendation of City Engineer Young and his method of handling
Project Exhibit A" and that his request to amend the specifi-
cations be approved by adding the statement, The Contractor
may be permitted to spread the asphaltic concrete by methods
other than self-propelled mechanical spreading and finishing
equipment". Councilman Wilson seconded. There were no ob-
jections and the motion carried by the following vote:

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mr. Asmus stated the four items were essential for efficient
operation of the Street Department as it is now constituted,
and will become more so as the City performs more service
formerly handled under contract with the County of Los Angeles,
therefore, he recommended that an allocation of $4,775.00 be
approved for the purchase of the equipment.
Councilman Holmes stated he had seen-and inspected the equip-
ment and it was in good condition and since the City's need for
it was urgent, he moved that an allocation of $4,775.00 be
approved for the purchase of the equipment using the un-
allocated amount of $3,096.00 in the Street Department capital
outlay and the balance out of the general fund. Councilman
Littlejohn seconded. There were no objections and the motion
carried by the following vote:
AYES: COUNCILMAN HOLMES, LITTLEJOHN,
BISHOP, WILSON AND MAYOR COLE
NOES: NONE

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus informed the Council that
during 1958-59 Budget discussions the question of securing
Assessor's Roll Fan-Fold was discussed. At that time it was
determined that an expenditure in the amount of $600.00 was
not justified and the item was deleted from this year's
budget. The importance and need for these maps has become more
and more essential furnishing information to citizens,
prospective developers, persons interested in securing in-
dustrial properties as well as the-Planning Department and
Engineering Department's need for them. He recommended that
Council authorize the ordering of the Assessor's Maps at a
cost not to exceed $700.00.
Councilman Bishop stated he believed the maps would be a great
help and moved that Council concur with the recommendation of
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus and that he be authorized
to order the material. Councilman Holmes seconded. There were
no objections and the motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: COUNCILMAN BISHOP, HOLMES,
