00-
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that Mr. Avery
and Mr. Morgan were in the audience and desired to speak
with regard to Pony Baseball, Inc.
Mr. Avery stated that he would prefer Mr. Tom Morgan giving
the presentation as he is the District Director for Pony
Baseball, Inc., and is in charge of all the Pony operations
between San Luis Obispo County and Los Angeles County. He
further stated that the Pony League would like to have the
district play-offs in Baldwin Park on the new diamond; that
the District play-offs would comprise seven counties as far
east as Ontario and Upland to all of Los Angeles, Kern,
Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo. and Santa Maria
Counties. The best team from each of the participating
counties would come here to Baldwin Park and play a double-
elimination tournament, with the best team from this
tournament then going to Santa Monica for the regional
play-offs. It was their feeling that because this is such a
tremendous project it would bring an attendance of 10,000...
possibly 20,000 people to the City within the 4-5 day period
that it takes to run the play-offs. Mr. Avery further elab-
orated on what they had accomplished to date, physically,
and also what had been achieved through their subscription
efforts.
Mr. Tom Morgan stated that their needs, if the play-offs
were held here, would be that the requirements of the host
City include being able to guarantee that they are financi-
ally able to sponsor the tournament; that the Pony League
is comprised of boys 13-14 years of age, having graduated
from the Little League; an adequate field; bleachers that
would take care of approximately 2,000 people at a game;
a controlled gate; adequate housing for 8 teams, plus the
manager and coach; and lights for night games. He further
stated that we are the largest district, in number of teams,
in the United States; that there would be the best 8 leagues
out of approximately 80 leagues in the District; that the
play-offs would be held about the 28th of July this year;
that housing and food for the boys is usually donated; that
$5,000.00 would be the very most that would be needed to
justify this program, and that any monies received from the
City would be replaced by the League through the program;
that there was a good possiblity of the television stations
in this area televising this free, in lieu of having to
secure a sponsor; that the City of Irwindale has co-operated
greatly, along with many private businesses.
Considerable discussion followed wherein it was the general
consensus of opinion that serious consideration should be
given this program, and that it would be taken under study
and advisement of the City Attorney, with a decision being
rendered at a later date.

00-
City Clerk Balkus presented a report from the Los Angeles
County Board of Supervisors regarding incorporation of a
newly-formed city, being the City of Norpark, and called
Council's attention to the location of this area.
Discussion followed wherein it was the general consensus of
opinion that no protesting action be taken.
00-
It was the decision of Council that the request for a 60'
driveway by Pine Ridge Lumber Company be held over until
the ordinance pertaining to this zone had second reading
and was adopted.
Councilman Littlejohn reported on the'Area D" Joint Powers
Agreement, stating that a meeting had not been held as yet;
that he had acted on Council's instruction at'previous
meetings; that it was his-understanding that our obligation'
would be met, for this year, if the $741.37 were paid; that
he was not In accordance with the Area awiing any equipment
that was not administrative alone; that he was not in accord-
ance with the salaries that were discussed; that a more
thorough discussion should have transpired; and that he
would give a report later.
00-
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented members of
Council with copies of the Park and Recreation Budget
Agreement and stated that he had had a discussion with
Mr. Frazier wherein they went over items in the budget
as it now exists.
Considerable— discussion of the-proposed budget followed
wherein the general consensus of opinion appeared to be
that a fullt-time director is needed; that a full-time
summer program, and a light" program during school,
would be needed; that a sum in the amount of $12,000.00
would be an equitable figure to offer as the City con-
tribution to the program; that some type of recreation
should be furnished in high school and, accordingly,
allow for that in the budget; that It might'be well to
secure a director who could handle both the parks and
the school program in the event of dissolution of the
Park District; that probably the best places of economy
would be in the director's area and the after-school
program.
