Mayor Cole questioned members of Council as to whether they
had all received their notice of this Special Meeting, to
which the unanimous answer was in the affirmative.
00-
Mayor Cole announced that this Special Meeting was called
specifically for consideration of the Budget for fiscal year
I961-62.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that he would have
the salary information for Council tomorrow night, along with
a complete tabulation and report, and indicated that the
general salary condition as it now exists, is not good; that
it was his intention to offer recommendations of specific
classification adjustments from 0%-6%, based on the survey
made of other cities, which adjustment would even then not
bring Baldwin Park up to an average of surrounding cities
as proposed. He suggested that, in order to amply study the
information that will be provided them, the salary portion
of the budget be taken last.
Discussion followed wherein Chief Administrative Officer Asmus
stated that he had checked salary schedules with the Edison
Company, Gas Company, Water Company, General Telephone Company
and the School District in order to provide a more extensive
tabulation. The general consensus of opinion was that the
functions of industry should be considered, and the manner of
recruitment and qualifications required for various positions
was discussed.
Further discussion ensued relevant to the estimated revenue for
1961-62, wherein Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that
it is as conservative as it has been in past years, and elabora-
ted upon the planned sources of revenue.
Clarification was given with regard to the type of forms used by
the Street Department in setting of curbs and gutters, and ex-
planation given regarding drafting equipment.

Councilman Bishop offered the suggestion that the letterheads
of the City be changed to show the elected officials, as such
would be conducive to advantageously publicizing the representa-
tives of the City. He expressed the opinion, however, that
these particular letterheads should not be used inordinately,
but reserved for letter of community consequence, and for which
the cost would be small.
Discussion ensued wherein Chief Adminstrative Officer Asmus
stated that the large majority of cities do not use letterheads
of this nature, but that he would be happy to prepare a draft
of a suitable letterhead for their consideration.
COUNCILMAN HOLMES MOVED THAT, IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS
THE FIRST CONSIDERATION OF THE BUDGET, AND THAT SUBSEQUENTLY A
TO A WORK SESSION, WITH THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK BEING EXCUSED
PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD, THIS SPECIAL MEETING BE ADJOURNED
FROM ATTENDANCE. COUNCILMAN BLOXHAM SECONDED.
Discussion followed wherein it was suggested that, in order
that there be no mininterpretation as to this meeting being
an open" meeting, the Soundscriber be kept in use and records
be made in the event that Council decided to adjourn to a work
session, thereby providing public record". Mention was made
relevant to the lack of publicity on the Budget sessions which
was, probably, responsible for no one being in the audience.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED TO AMEND THE ORIGINAL MOTION IN THAT
THIS CITY COUNCIL ADJOURN TO A REGUALR STUDY SESSION WITH A
PERMANENT RECORD BEING MADE DURING SAID SESSION AS A MATTER OF
PUBLIC INFORMATION. COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED. The motion
