CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER) 14403 East Pacific Avenue
The City Council of the City of Baldwin Park met in adjourned
regular session at the above place at 7:00 P.M.
Roll Call: Present: COUNCILMEN BISHOP, HOLMES,
LITTLEJOHN, WILSON AND
MAYOR COLE
Absent: CITY TREASURER PUGH
Also Present: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
ASMUS, CITY ATTORNEY GORLICK,
AND CITY CLERK BALKUS
Due to his convalescence, Mayor Cole requested that
Mayor pro tem Littlejohn conduct the meeting.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus requested that, with the
permission of Mrs. Marianne Johnson, Mr. William Wood,
Building Inspector, be heard first on the Agenda, with ref-
erence to the Stichman Avenue property.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED THAT MR. WOOD BE HEARD FIRST ON THE
AGENDA. COUNCILMAN WILSON SECONDED. There were no objections,
the motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor pro tem
Littlejohn.
Mr. William Wood, 9658 Live Oak, Temple City, reported on his
findings regarding the Stichman Avenue property, stating that
Mr. Bell of the Flood Control District, a gentleman from the
Fire Department, Chief Administrative Officer Asmus and he
had inspected every one of the houses and found the following:
That most of them were lacking in heating; some of the plumb-
ing was defective; in practically all cases the wiring was
below standard; some of them had roof trouble; most of them
did not have a kitchen vent going to the outside; some of the
water heaters would need revamping; most of them did not have
a good appearance on the outside, but the majority of them
were of standard construction. He further stated that there
were about six of the houses that were quite a bit below
standard and about four that were in fairly good condition.
Discussion followed regarding whether or not the Code, notices,
etc. would be sufficient to do what posting would be necessary
to inform the people as to what would have to be done; wherein
Councilman Holmes stated that his primary concern was that
people purchasing these buildings should be made aware of the
conditions that exist; wherein City Attorney Gorlick stated
that the Uniform Building Code provides for posting of signs
in cases where the building is an unsafe building... that if
the people wanted to find out what particular deficiencies
there were they could contact the Building Department.
City Clerk Balkus administered the oath to those in the
audience desiring to speak.
Mr. Henry W. Redeker, 4207 N. Maine Avenue, Baldwin Park,
questioned that, if the property were posted unfit for
habitation" would it mean the property owner would have to
bring the entire property up to Code...which would be quite
different than just correcting hazardous conditions.

As a prospective purchaser, he felt he was entitled to know
what Council would require.
Further discussion ensued wherein Council felt that pros-
pective purchasers should know the particular items that
were actually unsafe with regard to occupancy, and City
Attorney Gorlick stated that as long as the buildings were
not structurally unsafe they would not have to be replaced
but whatever repairs were necessary to make it safe, i.e.
defective wiring, plumbing, etc., would have to be made.
The general consensus of Council was that after the Items
in defect were corrected the Building Inspector would approve
them.
Mr. Wood further stated that the Building Department has
records on many of these houses and they would be glad to
acquaint prospective purchasers with what would be needed to
be done in order to bring them up to Code...that if people
know beforehand, It eliminates problems later.

At this time the specifications for four 4) Police Units
were taken on the Agenda, and Chief Administrative Officer
Asmus reported that he had received a memo from itiiif of
Police Torres outlining his views and feelings regarding
the proposed revisions of the specifications, and also a
report prepared by Mr. John Stenvall with reference to
some items for Council's consideration in making revisions
as was Indicated by Council's feeling last night. Mr. Asmus
stated that, the specifications,,as now drawn, would be
fortunate to get a bid due to their being long and involved
in their requirements; that Council would make a serious
error if the horsepower of the pursuit units were reduced;
that each of the vehicles now operating costs approximately
$13.11 per month for over-all major repairs, which does not
include gas, oil, tires, etc.; that there would be con-
siderable increase in cost if they went to stick shift for
pursuit units; and recommended that the previous specifi-
cations, as submitted, with possibly a slight revision in
the horsepower, be seriously considered.
Discussion followed wherein Chief Administrative Officer
Asmus stated that minor costs exceed major costs; that
Council felt they should ask for bids on both types of
shifts as a matter of information and comparison; that the
bid date would have to be changed from January 4 to January
18, 1960, as it would not give the bidders sufficient time
to get bids in; that the prices of sixes, as well as eights,
should be secured for information and comparison.

FICATIONS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
AND CHIEF OF POLICE TORRES AT THE MEETING OF DECEMBER 21,

Mayor pro tem Littlejohn announced that the matter of the
Beautification Lease would be taken next on the Agenda, and
that Mrs. Marianne Johhson was in attendance to answer
questions.
Mrs. Marianne Johnson, 3825 N. Foster Avenue, Baldwin Park,
stated that the lease, as offered by the Pacific Electric
Railway Company to the City of Baldwin Park, was the type
of lease used for all their beautification leases, and
that the Pacific Electric had but three reasons for this
type of lease with a cancellation clause, being 1) for
beautification purposes 2) for building of spur track
crossings 3) for any commercial project which would gain
them money. She further stated that all the supporting
organizations and individuals had been made aware of this
cancellation clause.
Mr. Robert Walters, 4325 North Maine, Baldwin Park, stated
that, as a representative of the Kiwanis Club, they had
pledged 100% support to Mrs. Johnson's project; that they
were aware of this cancellation clause and were willing to
go along with it.
Discussion followed wherein Council felt that some com-
munication from the Pacific Electric Railway Company should
be had, wherein they will do a certain amount of the prepara-
tion, and also, have one of their men supervise the work the
City would do. Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated
that he had talked with Mr. Platt of the Pacific Electric
Railway Company and that they had indicated they would not
come out here and work the ground for planting, but would
work with us after the first of the year in cleaning the
right of way of weeds and debris, and would work with the
City Engineer regarding drainage problems, but that was as
far as they intended to go.
Mrs. Johnson further stated that the Pacific Electric Railway
Company retains 121 on either side of the center line of the
railroad track, and while not stipulated in the lease, It was
their restriction, as the map accompanying the lease shows.
She also stated that the volunteer work was only for putting
in the plantings, not the rough grading; that they planned
to plant the trees and shrubs and fix up the corners first,
and as money and labor was available, would put in the ground
cover, which was the biggest expense.

In answer to Council's query with reference to taxes, in-
surance and possible injury of workers on the project, City
Attorney Gorlick stated that the City was not assuming to pay
the taxes on the land itself only by increase in taxes that
would result from our activity); that there was nothing in
the lease that would invalidate our insurance or require that
we take out additional'insurance; that the City is leasing
the property, so, in event of injury, the City would be the
responsible, party on the leased portion of the premises.
Mr. Victor Brown, 14855 E. Clydewood, Baldwin Park, representa-
tive of the Lion's Club, stated that, although they felt that
pressure should be exerted to force execution of a better lease,
they were happy with the project and would go along with it.
COUNCILMAN BISHOP MOVED THAT RESOLUTION NO. 59-138 OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION
OF A BEAUTIFICATION LEASE WITH THE PACIFIC ELECTRIC RAILWAY
COMPANY BE GRANTED. COUNCILMAN HOLMES SECONDED. The motion

Mrs. Johnson questioned Council as to the grading of the
parkway on the north side of the tracks, stating that there
were 4 x 4's with wire, which had been buried under dirt
there and shq wondered if anyone had been instructed to take
them out...wherein Council referred this matter to Adminis-
tration for handling.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus requested that Council
give authorization for the Engineering and Maintenance
Department to do the necessary grading, as no work could
be done until Council took action. Council stated there
would be ample time to handle this matter later as the
Pacific Electric Railway Company was not going to clean
up the debris until after the first of the year.

At this time Mayor pro tem Littlejohn introduced Mr. Fieldman
of J. B. Hanauer & Company and Mr. Warren Beebe of O'Melveny
& Myers, legal advisors for the sewer bond project.
Mr. Beebe, at the request of Mayor pro tem Littlejohn, re-
viewed the various types of bonds, commencing with the general
obligation bond, and that the way it would be done would be
to combine the bond issue with a sewer service charge ordinance
and have them both on the same ballot. General obligation bonds
require a two-thirds vote, and it was for this reason that they
had been rejected, as part of the City was already sewered under
the 1911 Act and that area could not be excluded.
He stated that another method would be to form part of the City
into a Municipal Sewer District. This method had been con-
sidered for use other times and been rejected each time for
the same reason, be@ause there is a debt limit of 20% of the
assessed valuation of the land...this being known as the 1939
Act" or the Vernon Act". It was his belief that there was
not enough assessed valuation in Baldwin Park to issue enough
bonds.

from the revenue that they derive from the sewer service

from using that act here being in the collection of sewer

a contract with the County Water District so that the sewer
service charges can be put on the water district bill but
they have never had a district yet that wanted to do that.
Those were the various types of financing, and Mr. Beebe sug- MR. BEEBE RE:

that the list of delinquent, unpaid charges be recorded with
the County Recorder they would become liens against the
property served) 2) devise a means of collection through the
small claims court. He stated that the problem was not
with the property owners, with regard to collections, but
with the renters, being the fact that they will kip out".
Mr. Beebe further stated that there was a provision in the
Health and Safety Code for putting sewer service charges on
the tax rolls, but there were 2 difficulties in that, being,
1) that series of sections is so worded that it seems to
imply that it excludes laterals, which is what we are going
to do 2) they have a mechanism for putting the sewer service
charge on the tax bills, but the only trouble is that they
do not stay on the tax bills, and this is what ruins it as
far as the bond holder is concerned. This makes it useless
because, in any particular year, by going through the proper
procedure, the decision to put it on the tax bills can be
reversed and the sewer service charges taken off...the
people petition for it and it has to be granted. Stays on,
year after year, until taken off by this procedure.)
Councilman Holmes expressed his opinion that most of these OPINION OF

is not acceptable due to part of the City being severed,
which would force us into a general district type of thing;
the 1939 Act where the assessed valuation is limited would
require additional tax assessment besides the tax levy, or
some type of additional revenue, as the City wouldn't be able
to issue enough bonds to do the job; the Revenue Bond, as it
appeared, cost about $3.00 per month; which included every-
thing...discounts, interest, operation and maintenance. He
wondered if, as this City is already a part of County Sani-
tation District #15, there were any way in which this City
could be annexed to the Sanitation District, or a method
established that would build the laterals and the outservices.

Sanitation District specifically insisted that the Act be so

just financing trunks by means of General Obligations Bonds

then you would be assured the trunks were going to be in and
if a health hazard occurred in one part of the City, Council
could initiate going into one of the Acts.
Councilman Bishop requested a•comparison, cost-wise, of the OPINION OF

Mr. Fieldman of J. B. Hanauer & Company, stated that engineer- MR. FIELDMAN
ing and legal fees in assessment proceedings were substan- RE: OPINIONS
tially higher than otherwise... that there was five times the
difference between a 1911 Act and Revenue Bond proceedings.
He further stated that the normal period in which assessment
bonds are rettred is ten years; that, working out a rough
estimate without consideration of additional legal expense)
of $7.25 a front foot on a cash basis which would provide the
installation of the sewer, then on top of that, the costs
would have to include maintenance and operation charges...
which would have to be added to the annual costs on the tax
bill, as opposed to the $3.00 per month suggested charge which
includes the whole works. In his judgment, it would end up
costing about the same in dollars and cents if the assess-
ment were let to go to bond, compared with a 30-year Revenue
Bond proceeding. He also stated that it would be desirable
to make at least one-third of the-bonds callable before they
were due...roughly a million and a half in bonds...and they
could be retired in about 22-23 years. This proposed schedule
was set up on the basis of each year you would charge rates
to produce approximately 14 times actual debt service require-
ments... you only have to pay out one time, leaving half again
in surplus account, which can be accumulated and used for
various purposes to extend the system or to call bonds be
fore maturity, or use for any other lawful purpose of the
City.
At this time Mr, Beebe stated that in this type of bond issue ELABORATION BY

to sewer purposes; that there were three funds involved, being, ACCUMULATION IN

the proceeds from the bonds go) 3) maintenance and operation
fund. He continued by stating that you covenant to maintain
rates, and the law provides that rates have to be 11 times
the amount of bond service, plus the amount that goes into the
reserve, and I times the amount of maintenance and operation;
thereby having about 30% overage and additional one-third ends
up being surplus, which is then used, in the first few years,
to build up the reserve fund. After this Is done, the re-
quirements are no longer as large, and then the charges need
not be as great as before...so the charges are set from time
to time, and as the City grows and these funds are built up,
bonds are called and cancelled, thereby reducing the charge
for sewer services. The sewer system is a utility...it carries
itself as a business enterprise. Surplus funds are permitted
to be used for any lawful purpose of the City, and a resolution
may be issued making any restrictions that would be desirable;
however, this being a new City and a-"weak issue", surplus from
the sewer service charges should be restricted to use of sewer.

Councilman Bishop questioned if, land which is not developed,
and this bond issue goes over, and 15 years from now this
property is developed, could Council levy a back assessment.
In answer, Mr. Beebe stated that it would depend on what would
be considered fair".
At 10:20 P.M. Mayor pro tem Littlejohn thanked the gentlemen
for their attendance and enlightenment relative to the sewer
bond program, and excused them from the remainder of the meet-
ing.
Discussion by Council followed wherein the following opinions
were expressed: Mayor pro tem Littlejohn felt that it was
up to the people to vote on this,issue, that an election
should be set up; Councilman Holmes felt that the Revenue Bond
method was best for the people on the basis that it appeared
to be the most equitable and the best way people could finance
sewers; Councilman Bishop felt that Council should figure out
the rate to be charged, as there was considerable undeveloped
land in Baldwin Park and a fee should be set up in an approxi-
mation of $36.00 per year after sewers were installed, which
would be a back assessment on the hook-up charge, and would
take a great deal of the burden off other property owners;
Councilman Wilson felt that the Revenue Bond method was the
only way for the majority of people in Baldwin Park, in that
$3.00 a month was a nominal amount which could be afforded;
and Mayor Cole also felt that the people of Baldwin Park could
pay $3.00 amonth better than $7-8 a month, but over a shorter
period of time, and that Council should get together and dis-
cuss rates.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED THAT THE CITY CLERK INITIATE ACTION
TO CALL AN ELECTION FOR THE SEWER PROJECT REVENUE BONDS, AT
THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE, AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE FINAN-
CIAL CONSULTANTS. COUNCILMAN WILSON SECONDED.
Councilman Bishop stated that, before voting, he had not made
up his mind as to whether he would support the bond issue until
being perfectly convinced that the people would be thoroughly
informed of all the conditions set forth in this bond election...
that he wanted the people to completely understand It from the
tax standpoint.
The motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: COUNCILMEN HOLMES, WILSON,
BISHOP, MAYOR COLE AND
MAYOR PRO TEM LITTLEJOHN
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: NONE
At 10:50 P.M. Mayor Cole was excused from the meeting due to
Illness.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that a request had
come in from Santa Anita Construction Company on behalf of
Mr. Thomas Kessler, who had constructed a home at 14106-08
Dalewood Avenue, Baldwin Park, that a waiver of sidewalk be
granted. Due to the terrain it was impossible to construct
a sidewalk without first building a retaining wall or cribbing
on which to build a walk, and because of this condition City
Engineer Young recommended that a waiver of sidewalk be
granted.
