City Clerk 5alkus read a petition containing 92 signatures,
as follows:
Baldwin Park, Calif.
To the City Council, Baldwin Park:
We, the undersigned, as residents and property
owners in Baldwin Park, do hereby submit this petition to
the City Council, in protest to the proposed ordinance
making Francisquito Avenue between Baldwin Park Blvd. and
Ramona Blvd. a truck route. We are protesting for the
following reasons:
1. Francisquito Ave. as a key street to and from
the San Bernardino Freeway is already so heavily traveled
it has become a safety hazard to the residents of this
street.
2. The proposal to re-route heavy trucks and trailers
to this residential street would not only increase the ex-
isting hazard, but would be endangering the lives of all children
that will be attending Sierra Vista Jr. High School, located be-
tween Baldwin Park Blvd. and Frazier St. The majority of children
attending this school will be crossing Francisquito Ave. within
this trucking area".
3. We feel the intersection of Francisquito Ave. and
Ramona Blvd. is a menace to residents in this area without the
addition of trucks and trailers, etc.
4. It is our understanding that Rivergrade Rd. was
constructed for the convenience of trucks, and this route is
open from Valley Blvd. to Los Angeles St. and Arrow Highway.
We feel due consideration will be given this petition,
after study of the above reasons we are certain you will agree
that this protest has valid basis.
Respectfully,

City Clerk Balkus administered the oath to those in the
audience desiring to be heard during the meeting.
Mr. Michael V. Dargus, 13260 East Francisquito, Baldwin Park,
spoke in protest to Ordinance No. 162, stating that last year
there were seven accidents at Francisquito and Frazier; that
it was impossible for the trucks to make the turn at Baldwin
Park Blvd. and Francisquito; that a technical study should be
made before final action on the ordinance; that it was imposs-
ible to make a left turn off Francisquito onto Ramona Blvd. at
4:30-6:00 p.m.; that there was no valid reason for taking the
trucks off Baldwin Park Blvd. and routing them on a residential
street; that the ordinance should not be adopted until after a
thorough study is made.
Mayor Cole and Councilman Holmes endeavored to clarify the
reasoning in establishing such an ordinance, in that considera-
able thought and study has been given to this problem, plus
traffic counts, reports on maintenance of Baldwin Park Blvd.
etc.; that the imrpovement of Baldwin Park Boulevard will
definitely be started this year; that Francisquito is a cement
constructd street, thereby able to carry the weight; that the
school problem is a factor wherever the truck traffic might be
routed; that they are working with the City of West Covina, the
County of Los Angeles and the Stateof California In an attempt
to get Irwindale opened so truck travel can go straight through
to the Freeway, thereby eliminating the necessity of having to
go through Baldwin Park.
Mrs. James Baldwin, 13170 Francisquito, Baldwin Park, speaking
in protest to Ordinance No. 162, stated that there was no pur-
pose to the rerouting of the trucks; that if the trucks were
eliminated completely it would put people out of work; that the
trucks have traveled over Baldwin Park Blvd. for 25 years; that
she expected Council to exercise consideration on their behalf.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus, as a matter of further
clarification, stated that this was not a hastily conceived
ordinance" as numerous articles were published in the news-
papers some six months ago, and that Council is not legally
required to send notices to everyone in the city when an ordi-
nance is to be adopted; that, at the present time, the City
of Baldwin Park has no regulation whatsoever regulating trucks;
they can travel over any street in the City...and it was this,
primarily, that brought about the proposed ordinance; that the
evolvement of a designated truck route is probably 2-3 years
in the future.
Considerable discussion ensued wherein Councilman Bishop sug-
gested that the trucks travel down Ramona Blvd. to Peck Road
until the problem is worked out, which would relieve the situ-
ation temporarily, at least; wherein Councilman Littlejohn
expressed the feeling that we are not in a position, at the
present time, to consider a truck route; that he was not in
favor of moving the trucks in and out of the business district;
that it was not the proper procedure to route trucks on
Francisquito inasmuch as the new school is going In; that the
associations and the three groups of truck operators I) the
majors" 2) the independents" 3) the outlaws", are most
willing to work together to evolve some type of program of
travel; that truck travel over all the streets in the city is
hazardous; that his vote, had he been present at the previous
meeting, would have been negative; that, if a truck route is
permitted within the City, there could be some restrictions
as to the hours they can travel, i.e., between the hours of
6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; that he could not vote affirmatively
for the adoption of the ordinance as he does not think it

proper; wherein Mayor Cole stated that the meeting with the
City of West Covina is set for February 28, 1961, and it was
his feeling that the ordinance could be carried over until
after the meeting; wherein City Attorney Gorlick gave legal
clarification in that if any changes are made now that were
not mentioned in the original notices, new hearings will have
to be held; that the only authority Council has to regulate
truck traffic, is the authority given to them by the State
Vehicle Code, in which it states they can do one of two
things: l) either establish a truck route 2) restrict cer-
tain streets in the City to vehicles under a certain number
of pounds; that the Vehicle Code permits restriction of
travel to vehicles exceeding a certain number of pounds.
City Clerk Balkus again administered the oath.
Mrs. Faye Hickey, 14322 East Gates, Baldwin Park, stated
that she operates a cafe business in Baldwin Park at 4209
North Maine, where the truck drivers come in to eat, and
wondered if the proposed ordinance would eliminate their
traveling on Maine Avenue.
Mayor Cole stated that the proposed ordinance would eliminate
truck travel there.

Mayor Cole announced that it was now the time and place for the
public hearing on Zone Exception Case No. ZE-39, a request for
exception to Section 9100.216 regarding 40' portion of building
extending into R-3 zone; to Section 9100.775.4 regarding sign
regulation in R-3 zone; and to Section 9100.466 regarding set-
back from major highway for corner of building, Sterling Savings
and Loan Association.
Planning Director Mansfield presented a resume and the findings
and recommendations of the Planning Commission, wherein they
recommended approval of the zone exception.
City Clerk Balkus stated that the required publications, postings
and mailings had been accomplished.
Mayor Cole asked if there was anyone in the audience desiring to
speak in behalf of the Zone Exception request.
Mr. Walter J. Schroeter, 235 North Morris Avenue, West Covina,
Manager of Sterling Savings and Loan Association, stated that
the building they intend to construct will cost, including
the land, approximately $300,000.00 and will be an asset to
the community; that they are agreeable to the requirements of
the Planning Commission and will do as Council directs.
Considerable discussion followed wherein Mr. Schroeter was
questioned as to whether or not they would consider improving
Baldwin Park Boulevard back to the original 100'... either post
a bond, or go ahead and improve it now. Mr. Schroeter Indi-
cated they would do as Council wished.
As there was no one else in the audience desiring to speak in
behalf of or in opposition to this zone exception case, Mayor
Cole declared the hearing closed.
Further discussion ensued relevant to the time that such im-
provement should be made.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED THAT THE FINDINGS OF THE CITY
COUNCIL CONCUR WITH THE FINDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION

ing the firm of Swenson, Clark & File to provide a comprehen-
sive audit of all 1911 Act funds currently and previously en-

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus presented the matter of
restricted parking in the vicinity of Pacific and Maine
Avenues, with the purpose and intent in suggesting these
changes being: I) that numerous near accidents have
resulted when a vehicle in the present right lane of Pacific
Avenue attempts to proceed northwest on Pacific and the
vehicle in the center lane attempts to turn right on to
Pacific Avenue and continue past the front of City Hall
2) that current extended parking in front of the City Hall
and along the Citizens National Bank, particularly from
7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., renders Pacific
Avenue, from the triangle north to Ramona Boulevard, capable
of carrying only one land of traffic each way 3) that
additional controlled, on-street parking is needed to serve
run-in" traffic at the Citizens National Bank and the City
Hall. He stated that a resolution establishing stopping,
standing, and parking restrictions along the easterly and
westerly curbs on Maine Avenue and Pacific Avenue between
Ramona Boulevard and Railroad Street, had been prepared
for Council action.
At the request of Mayor Cole, City Clerk Balkus read Reso-
lution No. 61-13 by title as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF BALI3N I N PARK ES-
TABLISHING STOPPING, STANDING AND
