Police Captain $600.00 per month COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED that RESOLUTION NO. 59-41 be ADOPTED. COUNCILMAN WILSON SECONDED. Discussion followed concerning Ordinance No. 58. In Section 2904, Subsection a", second paragraph, Councilman Bishop stated that he thought the word shall" in the last sentence should be changed to may" that there should be only,one Chief Administrative Officer who has the authority and responsible to Council and it should be left to his discretion whether a department head hires or fires. In response to a request for his opinion, City Attorney Gorlick explained that the way the ordinance was written, he believed the direction He shall authorize the head of a department or office-to appoint, suspend or remove subordinates in such depart- ment or office", would not necessarily be mandatory; although it did raise a question because the opening portion of that para- graph,reeds, in effect, that the Chief Administrative Officer shall have the power and be required to appoint, and when necessary for the good of the City, suspend or remove all other officers and employees of the City, except.....". City Attorney Goriick advised that the ordinance starts off by saying the Chief Administrative Officer shall have the power and shall be required to appoint all other offices and employees of the City', and then goes on to say authorize the head of the department or office to appoint, suspend or remove.....'. The two provisions are inconsistent so, the construction placed upon it Is not necessarily that the direction, the shall authorize the head of the department', is mandatory. The court would construe that to be directory he doesn't have to do it, but it should be clarified because it does create ambiguity which should not be in the provision. After discussion, the motion to-,ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 59-41 CARRIED four to one by the following vote: AYES: COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN, WILSON, HOLMES AND MAYOR COLE NOES: COUNCILMAN BISHOP ABSENT: NONE With reference to the discussion concerning Ordinance No. 58, Section29O4 a", COUNCILMAN HOLMES concurred with Councilman Bishop that the word shall" In the last sentence was ambiguous and MOVED that the City Attorney be instructed to correct the conflict and confusion mentioned to the end that the Chief Administrative Officer will be the chief authority In the administrative ordinance. COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED. Discussion continued. Councilman Littlejohn stated he thought the ordinance was written very well and did not take much authority from the Chief Administrative Officer; and he was of the opi*lon that consider4bie more study should be made before instructing the City Attorney to draw an amendment. Mayor Cole stated he did not believe a quick decision should be made and concurred with Councilman Littlejohn that the matter should be thoroughly studied and discussed before amending the ordinance.

The letter indicated it was the feeling of the Agency that the report submitted by the con- fulting engineer, together with the data available in the office ofthe City Engineer, gave the City'sufficient information and material to present to the people the question of a bond issue for this purpose. If the citizens approved the bond issue the City would be in a position to proceed with the final planning of the program. Mr. Asmus stated that if the City Council desired to proceed with the program, basic decisions must be made to determine the type of bonds that will be sold, the time schedule for an election on the question, the appointment and use of citizens committees, and the need for a financial consulting firm in preparing for the election. Discussion followed and it was the consensus of opinion that Council would meet in a special study session to discuss the matter on June 4, 1959 at 7:30 P.M. 00- Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented a request from Howard's State Blind Products for Council's determination of the license fee normally required for a solicitor's license $48.00 per year per solicitor). Mr. Asmus explained that the firm, operated at a profit, purchased goods made by blind residents of the State, and:employed solicitors on a salary and commission basis to canvass all homes within the area in selling the goods. The solicitor's objections to the fee were because they would only be operating in the City for about six weeks, other cities granted an exempt license, and the Individuals: employed as solicitors were elderly or handicapped individuals. Discussion followed. City Attorney Gorlick advised that the applicant for this license is a private concern in bu$iness for profit and was not a charitable organization or-a non-profit organization; therefore, there was no authority under the licensing ordi- nance to grant an exemption. The applicant buys the products from the State Institution for the Blind and sells them by house to house canvass and telephone solicitation, and the only organizations entitled to exemption under the licensing ordi- nance are charitable organizations or non-profit organizations. COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED that Council deny the request for an exempt license. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED. There wereno ob- jections and the motion carried unanimously and was so ordered- by Mayor Cole. Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented a request from a Pony League Group for the removal of a barricade on Virginia Avenue. Mr. Syhre, owner of the land, gave permission to the Pony League to use the land. Mr. Asmus explained that Virginia Avenue is a 50' dedicated public street with approximately 30' of pavement which goes down just a few feet from the barricade but not beyond the barricade. A question came up regarding the ownership of this land which at one time had been the wash. From all Information available, City Engineer Young determined the property definitely is Mr. Syhre's, as the Flood Control had an easement across it. Since that has been' abandoned, the Flood Control District indicated that Mr. Syhre can do anyting he wishes with the property with the exception of building on It.

City Attorney advised the barricade could be moved on the private property beyond the present termination providing the private property area extension area was properly paved so there would be no danger of defecting the condition of the street. Mr. Gorlick stated that he was told the entry to the property by the people who would be using it for the Pony League, would be to the side a private entrance. If there is any entry permitted, there should be a sign posted saying it is a private entrance" so there would be no possi- bility of anyone thinking it was an extension of the street. There would be no liability on the part of the City as far as the private property Is concerned but a sign should defin- itely be posted. City Clerk Balkus gave the oath to members of the audience who wished to testify at the meeting. Mr. Charles R. Stewart, 1318 Virginia and Mr. Manuel H. Davis, 1306 Virginia, voiced their,, objections to moving the barricade, and also to the ball field because of additional traffic down Virginia Avenue and because of the dust caused by the traffic.

The territory to be served by said sewage facilities and to be benefited by such work is shown on a map designated as Map of Assessment District No. 1958-10, showing the general nature, location and extent of Improvements in the Assessment district. I have examined generally the above mentioned plans, specifications and map of assesment district. I have also made or'caused to be made an Investigation of said territory and the exist- ing sewage facilities serving said territory. This Investigation reveals that existing sewage facilities are inadequate and that there is a serious need for and public health requires the construction of additional sewage facilities to serve this territory. Pursuant to your request and as Health Officer of the County of Los Angeles and of the City'of Baldwin Park, I find and recommend as follows: 1. That the construction of the sewage facilities shown and described on the above mentioned plans and specifica- tions is necessary sea health measure; 2. That proceedings. for the construction of said sewage facilities are necessary as a health measure; and 3. That proceedings under the Improvement Act of'1911 for the construction of said sewage facilities are necessary as a health measure; 4. That 1, 2 and 3 above are all necessary as a health measure.
