Roll Cali: Present: COUNCILMAN BISHOP, HOLMES, LITTLEJOHN AND MAYOR COLE Absent: COUNCILMAN WILSON AND CITY TREASURER PUGH Also Present: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER ASMUS, CITY ATTORNEY GORLICK, CITY ENGINEER YOUNG, PLANNING DIRECTOR TEATER AND CITY CLERK BALKUS Deputy City Clerk Leonard reported that copy of Notice of Adjournment of the Regular Meeting of October 19, 1959 to October 26, 1959, had been posted as required by Law; that all Councilmen had been notified of the adjournment as re- quired by law; and that proper affidavits covering the posting of the service of the notices were on file in the office of the City Clerk. COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED that the City Council Minutes of the Regular Meeting of October 5, 1959, be APPROVED and that further reading be waived. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED. There were no objections, the motion carried unanimously, and was so ordered by Mayor Cole. City Clerk Balkus informed Council that Mr. Ronald DeLorme, 4136 N. Harlan, Baldwin Park, wished to speak before Council regarding his Lot Split #199. City Clerk Balkus administered the oath to Mr. DeLorme. Mr. DeLorme stated that the only way he could obtain a lot split was by dedicating 60' of his property, which would not give him enough room to continue his chicken business. He further stated that he would be willing to make this dedication providing there could be an exception made that it would not go into effect as long as there was a poultry ranch there; but that at any time that he would give up the chicken business, it would then go into effect im- mediately. Planning Director Teater explained to Council that the Planning Commission has, for some time, had a development study for this particular area between Harlan and Center Streets, and felt that the dedication should be made for the future street, but that the applicant should be able to continue to use it as a chicken ranch until such time as the area develops. There was discussion by Council. It was the consensus of opinion that Council could not give Mr. DeLorme any assurance that a street would never go'in, nor could they stipulate any time limit, thereby making this particular lot split an exception. 312 OCTOBER 26, 1959 FLAG SALUTE INVOCATION NOTICE OF ADJOURN- MENT posted as required by law AFFIDAVIT OF POSTING on file as required by law re: regular meeting of Oct. 19,1959, adjourned to Oct. 26, 1959.

There were no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor Cole. 00- Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that the City had been appraoched by owners of the property located south and west of Bess Avenue and Baldwin Park Boulevard, adjoining the washy for possible annexation to the City. A map had been filed with the County Boundary Commission and will be heard by them on Wednesday. Before proceeding further, ap- plicants have requested a statement of policy from Council as to what will be required in the way of street improvement. The City Engineer has spent considerable time in reviewing this entire area in relation to the extension of Bess Avenue across the old wash and the problems of development on this property. It was the recommendation of the Chief Administrative Officer and City Engineer Young, based on Section 8195.5 of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code, that: Bess Avenue should be improved with curb, gutter and pavement hook-up for a dis- tance of approximately 4001-westerly from the center line of Baldwin Park Boulevard, the approximate cost of this improve- ment being $1,372.00; that sidewalks should be waived in this development inasmuch as this property is contemplated for development as M" use, and little pedestrian traffic would be anticipated; that additional widening of Bess Avenue from the point referred to above could be waived since actual development of the property would not call for ingress and egress at this point; that improvement of Baldwin Park Blvd. for a distance of 85' with curb, gutter and pavement hook-up should be required if a State and County gas tax project cannot be accomplished within the foreseeable future...the cost of these Improvements, not including sidewalks, would be approximately $357.00; that a 20' dedication should be re- quired to develop Baldwin Park Boulevard to its ultimate width. Discussion by Council followed. Mr. Don Gates, 1230 South Santa Anita Avenue, Arcadia, industrial Realtor, representing the prospective buyer of this property, stated that said buyer is very much in favor of becoming annexed to Baldwin Park and having the property rezoned M-I", but that there were certain re- quirements that he had to have as to what the costs in- volved were going to be. If he can have an expression from Council as to maximum figures or distances Involved, then he could proceed with a request for annexation. Further discussion by Council continued with a general consensus of opinion being that this would make a good development and be a great improvement, also, that It would make a natural boundary.

COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED that the Treasurer's Report be RECEIVED and FILED. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED. There were no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor Cole. At this time there was considerable discussion pertaining to the Area D" meeting that was held on September 29, 1959, at the Dinnerhorn in Covina, and two other meetings held In West Covina. The Chief Administrative Officer reported several facts, namely; that a plan had been worked out by the 4 or 5 cities that have been reluctant to spend the taxpayer's money in this Area D" as it is now organized, and this proposed plan would eliminate the paid executive head of Area D"; we would still be a part of Area D" but the coordinator's job would be shared by each city on a rotating basis; that a plan should be worked out before presentation to the Board of Mayors; that if the 4 or 5 cities that aren't going to con- tribute stay out, those cities staying in will have to pick up their share and pay that much more; and that he felt the majority of cities would be reluctant to put the County in as coordinator. Councilman Littlejohn, as committee member, stated that: he preferred not representing Council as being in favor of the $12,000 a year budget when many of the cities were making no effort...and Baldwin Park has made a tremendous effort...to provide the kind of communications equal to Continued) October 26, 1959 316 Page 5 MOTION made that Council concur with recommenda- tions of C.A.O.

He also felt that the County representative should be considered very highly as an area coordinator over a given period of time. Mr. Joe C. Pierce, 3722 N. Willow Avenue, Baldwin Park, stated that; it would not make any difference whether or not the City contributed to Area D", that we would still belong in Area D"; the main thing was that we have a coordinator and an Area D" office; that the State of California has limited channels from which they can received information from the local cities...it comes through the State Capitol, down to your Sector, then down to Regions, then out to Areas and then into,lQcal cities; that the Directors should have more voice in the matters and bring the information back to the City Managers and thence to Council; that the money that is spent for a coordinator's salary is needed in our own local city for communications and supplies; that if the City could get an operational plan into effect by January Ist, approved by the City, the State and Federal government, then we still would be eligible for matching funds. After considerable discussion by Council it was the con- sensus of opinion that the matter would be studied further. 00- COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED that RESOLUTION NO. 59-108 be read in full.
