Mrs. Marianne Johnson, 3825 North Foster, Baldwin Park,
stated that she would like to have permission of the City
Council for the Baldwin Park Beautification Group to start
the beautification program on the 101 public parkway on
the north side of Ramona Boulevard, from Harlan Avenue to
Sierra Madre.
There was considerable discussion by Council wherein the
responsibilities involved, City-wise, regarding maintenance
of these plantings were debated upon.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED that Mrs. Johnson and her group be
PERMITTED TO PLANT these trees, as suggested, 251 apart,
along the NORTH DRIVE OF RAMONA BOULEVARD from HARLAN TO
SIERRA MADRE, and that the CITY ENGINEER BE INSTRUCTED TO
CONFER WITH THE GROUP as to the location and type of plant-
ing so there will be no interference with the maintenance.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED.
Further discussion ensued with reference to the authority
and responsibilities of the City Engineer in relation to
the beautification group.
Mrs. Johnson also stated that they had a deadline of March
Ist to meet, in that they had entered a National Community
Improvement Contest financed by the Sears Roebuck Foundation;
that Mrs. Valley Knudsen had been a judge of this type of
contest several times in the past, and that she had informed
her that of all the cities she had judged, Baldwin Park had
covered the ten important criteria better than any of them
that had received first prize. With this assurance, and the
fact that they have qualified in every other instance, the
group is most anxious to see what they could do.
Discussion continued.
Mr. Victor Brown, 14855 E. Clydewood, Baldwin Park, stated
that the civic and service organizations are behind this
project 100% and willing, not only to commit time, but
finances. For his clarification and understanding, the
motion, as made previously, was read back.
The motion carried by the following vote:

Councilman Bishop reported on the Civil Defense Meeting,
stating that it was finally agreed upon that all of the
City Managers would meet in the next 60 days and try to
work out something with regard to Area D", and come up
with some plan that would-be acceptable by all cities.
Mr. Nell Goedhard, of Covina, was appointed Chairman to
this committee. It was Mr. Bishop's opinion that most
of them were fighting for one reason.... that was to keep
Col. Ming on as a paid salary;'that it was a detriment
to buy equipment because if Area D" is dissolved it
would go back to the City of Claremont; that-he couldn't
see where it would justify this city paying $700.00
$800.00 dues. Councilman Wilson who had also attended
the meeting, reported that Mr. Hoover had stated at the
meeting that cities who have not paid or signed new
agreements were not responsible; that nothing could be
done until 60-90 days after the report was made by the
Committee, then we could decide whether to stay In or
go out".

substance, that the new lease could not be executed

this provision was a valid provision.

Mr. Briggs took the position that the provision would
violate Section 18 of Article II of the California
Constitution which prohibits political subdivisions
from incurring indebtedness beyond their capacity. He
also felt that applying past rents to the purchase price
would constitute an unlawful gift of public funds on the
part of the School District. Mr. Gorlick informed Mr.
Briggs that he would study the matter, and, if still in
disagreement with him, would let him know. A memorandum
on the law will be prepared for the Chief Administrative
Officer who, In turn, will send a copy to Mr. Bonelli.
Mr. Gorlick will send a copy to Mr. Briggs.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated there had been
no official action on the part of the school board; that
they would have to approve, but could not, as long as the
County Counsel didn't. He further stated that in any
future discussions the School District would be invited
to attend any meetings with Supervisor Bonelli, himself
and the County Counsel.
City Clerk Balkus presented a request for a zone change,
Zone Change #69, Albert E. and Mavis Blanchard, from R-I

gested that it be set for public hearing on December 21,

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented a letter of
request for waiver of sidewalk and curb and gutter at
Badillo and Depot Avenue, Mr. J. Calvin Shelton, and re-
ported that Mr. Shelton contemplated building a drive-in
root beer stand at this location. City Engineer Young
submitted a report recommending, after being furnished a
plot plan on the proposed development on the railroad
right of way, that the curb, gutter and sidewalk be
waived, basing his reasoning on the drainage problem in
that area. Mr. Young further recommended that driveways
on Badillo be asphalt; that the Westerly driveway be a
one-way entrance only; the Easterly one an exit only;
that parking spaces on Badillo be barricaded; and that
the driveway at the most S. Easterly corner be installed
over an 18" corrigated metal drainage pipe. City
Engineer Young stated that the drainage problem Involved
can be handled when Badillo is developed as a major
highway.

At the request of Councilman Holmes, City Engineer Young
reported on the Southern California Water Works meeting on
Friday, November 20, 1959, at Montebello, California. He
stated that it had to do with the County'of Los Angeles
developing an ordinance to regulate any and all water
companies within the County of Los Angeles; that there had
been much discussion about it, and even the cities that do
not have their own water companies have become Interested
because it was an apparent effort by the County of Los
Angel es to get further control of all the territory that was
within the bounds of Los Angeles County; that this would make
it virtually impossible for any water company to operate
without the approval of the Los Angeles County Engineer.
He further stated that there had been a lengthy discussion
by some of the best noted water works engineers, profess-
ional engineers and water works Managers in the country;
that the speakers at the meeting had been Charles Stuart,
Vice-President of the Southern California Water Company,
Los Angeles, Mr. John R. Patten, Water Superintendent,
City Water Department, Santa Monica and Mr. John Skelton,
Executive Vice-President, San Gabriel Valley Water Company,
El Monte; that the enforcement of this ordinance alone
would increase the employees of the County by at least
500; that this ordinance would give the Fire Department
and the Forestry Department almost unanimous control over
what goes into a water works; that at the meeting which

was attended by some 3-4000 engineers.... some licensed
professionally, some not...they adopted a resolution which
was presented to the Board of Supervisors, which occasioned
a general feeling of question as to whether the Board of
Supervisors were fully aware of the dictatorial powers in-
volved; why should they go to the Los Angeles County 117
section control when the American Water Works Association
and The Southern California Water Associations modified
ordinance, with only 14 points, would make amendments easy
for the County Board of Supervisors.
Councilman Holmes stated that he had talked to Chief Klinger
on this matter and that he had admitted that the Board of
Supervisors could not pass such an ordinance over the legis-
lative powers that they have in the charter, but that the
County Counsel had determined that the Board of Supervisors
could pass such an ordinance under their police powers which
are granted in their charter from the State. Any of the
water companies that were able to operate, even under a
revised ordinance, would mean an almost immediate increase
in water costs delivered to the people throughout the County..
minimum would be double, and in soem cases would be 3-4
times what people are paying now. He further stated that
this matter merits much consideration from the people of
Baldwin Park and other cities from that standpoint alone;
that the hearing for action before the Board of Supervisors
had been postponed from the original date to January 7,
1960, and that was when they were going to decide whether
to pass the ordinance or not. Council took the matter
under study to decide on a course of action before the
meeting called for on January 7, 1960.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of
Donald K. Schneider, 205 Segovia, San Gabriel, regarding
setbacks on Bleeker Street. At the time, a stop work order
was in effect on the house that was being built on the
north side of the property. He stated that the City Engin-
eer had granted, under the authority given in the ordinance,
an exception to build up to within 5' of the property line
which meant that the adjoining property, being a poultry
ranch, would be less than 35' from the dwelling that would
be constructed.
Mr. Donald K. Schneider, 205 Segovia, San Gabriel, Calif-
ornia, stated that he had talked to Mrs. Lautenbach who
had the chicken ranch next door, and that she had volun-
teered the information that she and her husband would not
continue in the chicken business very much longer, and
that they were willing to give 30' off the back of the
property for Downing Street to continue on through. He
further stated that the hardship" involved would be that
of the person who would live in the home, as they would
not have a chance to make a decent turn with their car
in getting it off the street.
There was considerable discussion by Council wherein Council-
man Littlejohn stated that this was not a street, but merely
an easement to permit ingress and egress. Councilman Bishop
stated that he had talked to the man in the poultry business
and that he had no complaint on the 5' setback....that it was
perfectly all right with him...and that he intended, when the
house was built, rented or sold, to put in a 6' masonry fence,
but that he would not do it until then.
Mr. Don Hatfield, Builder, 8717 Las Tunas Drive, San Gabriel,
stated that there had always been a 5' setback granted in all
parts of the county, as well as in Baldwin Park, and that the

151 setback was something that he had not been aware of....
and apparently the Building Department had not been aware
of it either; that they had submitted a plot plan for a lot
split showing the location of the home, and it was granted;
that they had proceeded to start construction of the home
and then something was brought up about the setback not
being great enough and a stop work order was issued. When
he went to see about the stop work order, it was then that
Mr. Wood pointed out the section of the ordinance pertain-
ing to a 151 setback, so, at that time, he looked further
in the ordinance and read where the City Engineer had the
right to grant a variance. He then went to see Mr. Young,
and after a discussion between Mr. Young and Mr. Wood,
was granted an exception. Mr. Hatfield felt that if the
City had an ordinance they wanted enforced, it should be
checked out when plans were submitted for approval and
not after the work had been done.
Discussion continued wherein it was the general consensus
of opinion that Council was interested only in the pro-
tection of both parties.
City Attorney Gorlick stated that after the City Engineer
had granted this exception, he found it difficult to see
how the City could deny the man the right to go ahead, even
though a stop order had been issued. The City Engineer could
state that the exception had been granted under a mistaken
understanding of what the facts were", and he might reverse
the granting on that basis, but this would place the City
in a very difficult position. He further stated that he had
serious doubt as to whether or not the provision in the
zoning ordinance giving the City Engineer the right to grant
this exception was valid because we have a provision in our
zoning ordinance that says that exceptions, in order to be
granted, must be granted only after a public hearing.
There was further discussion by Council.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED that Council AUTHORIZE THE CITY
ENGINEER'S EXCEPTION TO THE ORDINANCE and GRANT THIS
VARIANCE, COUNCILMAN WILSON SECONDED. The motion carried

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of
child day care centers which had been discussed at a previous
meeting, with the request of Council that a report be brought
back regarding what other cities do with regard to licensing;
he reported that such ordinances state that they are not to
exceed five without appearing before the Planning Commission
for a special use permit; that the permit, fee appeared to be
the big problem involved in the City of Baldwin Park, in that
it requires a filing fee of $100.00; that the City Attorney
had been asked for his opinion regarding this question from
the standpoint of State and County regulations, which was
that as far as legal problems Involved, there were none what-
soever; that it was purely a zoning matter, and that the City
may draw their ordinances as they wish, where they,will permit
this type of operation and where they will not. County and
State were both contacted regarding their licensing procedures.

ments. Our ordinance now states that

Mr. Merle Randall, 3323 N. Puente Avenue, Baldwin Park,
stated that their problem was that they were only allowed
five, which included their own, but the State allows six,
and they wanted a variance whereby they could take care of
seven or eight children. Also, the fee of $100.00 was a
matter of concern. She further stated that the State and
County would still have the say as to how many they could
care for according to their facilities how many bedrooms,
beds, windows, etc. they had available.
There was discussion by Council wherein it was the general
feeling that those operating a child day care center should
pay an annual business license, as do other businesses in
the City, and that the number of seven children appeared
to suit both the applicants and the needs of the City of
Baldwin Park.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED that Council DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY
TO DRAW AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE DEFINING THE THREE
CATEGORIES OF DAY CARE, FOSTER HOMES and CHILD DAY CARE",
stipulating that CHILD DAY CARE MAY HAVE SEVEN CHILDREN, IN-
CLUDING THEIR OWN, FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION, STUDY AND

carried by the following vote:

It was noted that it would be at least 60 days before
the ordinance would be In effect.

Councilman Holmes stated that he firmly believed that
septic tanks should be required to be placed in the
front of houses Instead of in back yards. He further
stated that being in the front would simplify hook-ups
and, also, that when they have to be serviced, there
was the problem of getting equipment between the houses.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that the matter
would be on the Agenda of the December 7, 1959, meeting
and that action would entail the amendment of the Plumb-
ing Code.
Discussion ensued.
At the request of Mayor Cole, Chief Administrative Officer
Asmus read in full a proposed ordinance amending Section
1110 of the Uniform Plumbing Code, which would require the
location of private sewage disposal systems in the front
yard setback area.
There was further discussion by Council regarding the proper
wording and definition of the proposed amendment.

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that the City of MEETING WITH CITY
Irwindale was very anxious to have a joint meeting with OF IRWINDALE
the City Council of Baldwin Park, and would like to have Tentative meeting
it, if possible, this week. At Mayor Coles request, Chief date set for
Administrative Officer Asmus was to discuss a tentative November 30, 1959.
meeting date of November 30th with them, and then inform
Council of their decision.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus informed Council that
the Bureau of Census was seeking space as headquarters for
the San Gabriel Valley, and was very interested in using
Baldwin Park. The most suitable housing they had found
was City Hall, using Room 100 and the Auditorium. There
would be 70 people involved...35 permanent people here
in the City Hall for at least 5 months, from January 10,
1960 until May, 1960, and 35 people would be working in
the field. After the 5-month period they would desire
usage on a month to month basis. He stated that the
Bureau has to solicit bids, and if we were interested,
they would send us the form for completion. They would
give one to the Post Office, three to the real estate
offices in town and one to the City Hall. It was the
opinion of Mr. Asmus that Council should be very inter-
ested in having them here as it would give the local
people a better opportunity to be employed by them, and
that housing them here would actually denote Baldwin Park
as being the center or hub"....of the San Gabriel Valley.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED that Council INSTRUCT THE CHIEF
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE BUREAU OF
CENSUS REGARDING HOUSING AT THE CITY HALL AT A MINIMUM
FIGURE OF $350.00 PER MONTH. COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN
