Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that there were FOUR ITEMS ON
four items to be brought before the Council at this meeting. AGENDA
00-
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that the first DISCUSSION RE
item for consideration was the Parks and Recreation District; PARK AND RECREATION
that following the meeting with the school board some six DISTRICT
or eight months ago he had held one meeting with the P.T.A.
President and preliminary ground work was laid regarding
the possibility of an election on this district. He stated
that apparently Mr. Charles Morehead, who was President of
the Baldwin Park Civic Improvement Association, talked with
Mr. Al Lemm, President of the Park Board, about this and Mr.
Morehead felt that the Council should take some official
action or give an indication that the City was again inter-
ested in seeing the district dissolved.
Mr. Al Lemm stated that people want, at this time, a recrea- STATEMENT BY AL LEMM
tion building erected on the tennis courts approximately PRES. OF THE PARK BRD.
150 ft. by 155 ft.), cost estimated in 1960 at $300,000.00;
a heated Olympic sized swimming pool, estimated cost $500,000.00;
two more eight 8) acre parks in the City at the estimated cost
of $200,000.00; rest rooms and water facilities, estimated
cost of $100,000.00; and lighting the ball field and park at
Barnes Park, cost $40,000.00. Mr. Lemm stated that the City
did not haveaPony League field, a Pop Warner field, or a
Little League field; that the City had not tried to acquire
available land for a park; Mr. Lemm expressed the opinion that,
at this time, the City should not make the effort to take over
the parks.
Discussion followed wherein Councilman Holmes stated that DISCUSSION AND
the City had a Park District that covered all of the City; OPINION EXPRESSED
that the City was not in a position to do anything about BY COUNCILMAN HOLMES
duplicating a Park and Recreation District; that the Dis-
trict was a tax supported proposition for the same people
that were under the City government; that the City did not
have the administration of it and as such it would make
a very cumbersome and impractical situation to attempt to
develop a City recreation district which would be in competi-
tion with the District which was County administered; that
this was a District Park and wondered if the people under-
stood what kind of a tax rate it would take to supply this
kind of program.
Mr. Lerrm stated he would like to propose to Council that
the City set aside a certain amount of money each year and
then, in four or five years, take over the park; that he
was speaking in behalf of the Park Board and as a citizen;
that the Park Board was only an advisory group to the County;
that he had served fifteen years on the Park Board and
was merely trying to present points for consideration in the
event Council would decide to take over the park.

Adjourned Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Councilman Holmes stated that the schools were in favor
of discontinuing the school recreational program last
year, but they decided that they would continue it for one
more year; that the schools felt the City should establish
a Parks and Recreation Department which would encompass
the Park District.
Mayor Bishop stated that the City would have to raise
taxes or do this through a bond issue; that the people
of the City would be paying for it either way.
Councilman Bloxham asked whether the City could operate the
Parks and Recreation that we now have operated by the County
for $71,000.00.
Councilman Holmes stated that he had served on the Park
Board for five years; that the County gets 25% for adminis-
tration costs; that the City could maintain the same type
of operation for a less amount for two reasons: It would
gain 25% of the overhead and not be involved with 13%
retirement benefits which the City taxpayers contribute
to for the County employees.
Mr. Lemur stated that between 5% and 10% of the citizens
of Baldwin Park have made the previously stated requests.
COUNCILMAN COLE MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL STUDY THIS
MATTER FURTHER, GETTING MORE INFORMATION AND FIGURES, ETC.
FROM THE PARK BOARD, AND, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, MAKE A
DECISION AFTER WHICH MR. LEMM IS TO BE NOTIFIED. COUNCIL-
MAN BLOXHAM SECONDED. There were no objections, the
motion carried and was so ordered by Mayor Bishop.
Mayor Bishop requested that Mr. Lemur supply the names of
all of the members of the Park Board to the City Council.

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that the next
item concerned the attitude of the people regarding the
acquisition of the right-of-way on Baldwin Park Boulevard.
Mr. Asmus stated that Mr. Burke Runion and approxi-
mately 67 other people would sign the dedication when
they have an official indication from the City Council
that the City would do everything in their per to try,
to put the dry sewer line in before the resurfacing.
Councilman Holmes stated that the City did not have the
money to put in a dry sewer line or otherwise.
Mr. Asmus stated that he told Mr. Run ion that if they wanted
to forma district they could pay for their line and put it
in now; of course, this would have to be a fairly large dis-
trict.
Councilman Holmes stated that his theory was that the City
was hopeful that as many people would hook up to the sewer
line on Merced, or any other sewer line, as possible; that
he had talked to a contractor who was bidding jobs on Merced
and was advised that the City requirements were 6 inch
laterals to the property line; that the charge was $5.50 per

per lineal foot from the property line on back to the hook-
up, and $3.00 per vertical foot for filling the cess pool.
Mr. Holmes stated that a 6 inch line was not necessary for
single family residence; that approximately $100 for every
lot on Merced Street did not encourage hookups.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that it was his
understanding that the City was requiring 4 inch line for
a single family residence, the same as the County standards;
that the Council had never adopted sewer standards.
Discussion followed as to whether a six inch or four inch
line should be required for a single family residence.

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that he had re- RE CONTRACT WITH
ceived a letter from Stone and Youngberg; that they felt STONE'& YOUNGBERG
if they were going to handle the sale of the bonds of future RE SEWER BONDS
districts that they should be involved on the sale of the
bonds on this first district; that the contract we executed
with them would cover this first district; that they think
that what bonds are sold for on a district of $700,000 will
set a precedent on what the others will go for and they felt
that you cannot successfully throw several hundred dollars
worth of bonds on the market and expect them to be sold at a
good profit. Mr. Asmus stated that Stone and Youngberg request
a letter indicating that they should assist the City in the sale
of these bonds.
