I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to be a part of your organization. I have accepted the position of City Planner with the City of Arcadia. Basically, there were three main factors that helped me make this decision. 1. Civil Service status after a six months probationary period. 2. A 10% increase in salary and a step plan for an ad- ditional 5% each year for two years. 3. State retirement and social security plan and employee benefits which include hospitalization and a credit union Continued) MARCH 6, 1961 FLAG SALUTE INVOCATION ROLL CALL MINUTES OF FEB. 9, 1961 & FEB. 20, 1961, APPROVED WITH FURTHER READ- ING WAIVED.

Phillips, Consulting Engin- eer in Pomona, in which he stated that a survey was going to be made in order to bring the existent conditions up to stand- ard, and that a complete report should be available the latter part of April. Mr. Bobby W. Izell, 4108 Walnut Street, Baldwin Park, stated that he is going to build on this property if the lot split is granted; that, after talking to a man in charge of the pumps at the Werner Mutual Water Company, if he put in larger pipe then normal and cut into the main at two different places, he would be able to get as much pressure to the two houses he is going to build as he would from the mairs; that the cause for the low pressure in that area is due to old pipes being clogged up, etc. Discussion followed wherein City Engineer Young stated that as long as it is on private property, the pipe size is not regu- lated, however, Council should be made aware of these installa- tions with regard to future subdivision tracts and residential areas; wherein the opinion was expressed that, probably, there is an inadequacy in the manner of transporting the water; wherein it was the opinion that this existent water situation is the responsibility of the water company and not that of the City; wherein the Chief Administrative Officer suggested that this case be tabled for the foregoing reasons, and due to the existent water condition, and that the Planning Department write a letter to the applicant specifying these reasons for Council's action. Mr. Izell further stated that it was his opinion he should be permitted to go ahead as long as the water company is going to do something about the situation, and objected to the suggestion of waiting until the report and survey is made; wherein he ex- pressed the opinion that if Council denied this request he would then have recourse on the water company; that he can furnish water to his two houses and wanted to proceed.

Acting City Attorney Flandrick reported that, according to the Record of Survey, there is no indication as to ownership of this particular parcel and it is probable that Mr. Cunningham does not own the fee interest in that right of way; that there are two ways to determine the actual status of the property, being: 1) file on the property 2) have the Title Insurance & Trust Company render a title report which is in the nature of a preliminary title report, or a type of condemnation guarantee) which would determine ownership of that property, and which would cost approximately $38.00; that this is a private street and the deeds themselves would be the connotation of the actual ownership of the variots parcels involved.

Mr. Mansfield explained the findings of the Planning Commission and that they recommended approval of the lot split subject to the conditions in Planning Commission Resolution No. 645. At this time Council referred back to the letter of Joe Swallow wherein he appealed to the City to allow him to either go ahead and install curbs, gutters and sidewalks at time of new con- struction, or to post the bond or cash at the same time the other residents on his street are required to do so...or, in lieu of posting a bond or money at this time, he will sign a statement or affidavit which would compel him to install said improvements within a given period of time. City Engineer Young gave clarification, in that Bess Avenue has a drainage problem, that it has no elevation... being a ditched out" street, and needs entire redoing; that it was a question whether to waive it altogether and let the people on the street go into a 1911 Act, or to take a cash deposit in the event that others will improve with curbs, gutters and.sidewalks; that a section of curb and gutter should not be built at this time because of the amount of water the street carries.
