The Act by which the City Council has designated a certain area of the City which they feel will benefit and be served by the construction of sewers. The means by which the sewers would be put in would be to call for bids, then the contractors submit bids,(which bids were received and opened on October 30, 1963) then the contractor sets about to do the work for which he is paid in cash. The work on this district would commence in December or the early part of January). MOTION MADE AND CARRIED THAT CITY COUNCIL RECESS TO CITY AUDITORIUM AND REOPEN MTG.

The assessments have been spread by a professional assessment engineer according to-the benefit i ih a i eac'i property de- rives from the sewers; larger properties receive a larger assessment and the smaller properfies a sma!ler assessment. It was explained that the purpose of the Public Hearing was to take evidence and give the Cit, Council an opportunity of hearing what the property owners have to say about the work, about the extent of the assessment district, and about the assessments themselves. The City Council would hear read all the written protests and following that the persons who had submitted written protests would be given an opportunity to address the City Council orally and support their written protest. Following that persons who had not submitted written protests would be given an opportunity to make an oral protest or ask for some adjustment or some type of relief. It was stressed that each property owner, at the time he was given an opportunity to speak, would be asked to give his name, address, and description of the property owned. Further explanation outlined that following the Public Hearing the City Council would consider all the evidence received and make the adjustments which they consider were warranted by the written and oral protests. Then, follow- ing the carrying out of any changes considered necessary the assessment would be confirmed, which means that a lien would be placed on all the lands within the district. Following a thirty 30) day period, during which property owners may pay their assessments in cash, assessment bonds would be issued. These bonds would be sold on the basis of public bidding in the same manner that a construction contract is awarded on public bidding. The reason being that in this way the cost of the financing, the interest cost on the assessment bond, would be kept to a minimum, which results in a saving to the property owners in the district. Mr. Schreiner explained that in the first district the bonds were sold to bear interest at 4.45%, so that persons who had allowed their assessment to go to bond were given an opportunity of paying their assessments over a ten 10) year period, paying interest at the rate of 4.450 for the ten year period. in closing, Mr. Schreiner stated the City Council was present to hear evidence, take evidence, to devejop a basis for making any adjustments it deemed necessary. 00- City Engineer Young described the area of Assessment:.Dis..• CITY ENGR.

J. Thompson, Assess- ment Engineer, stated there were 3500 parcels in the dis- trict; that it was their job to spread $1,648,557.46, which was a revised estimate of the total cost of the job over the 3500 parcels; that the benefits accrued to each parcel of land were judged on the benefits of the property owner. Regarding the payments Mr. Rossetti stated when the project was confirmed by the City Council and recorded the property owners had thirty 30) days in which to pay in cash; that the billing was from the City Treasurer; that the assess- ments not paid within the thirty 30) day period would go to a ten 10) year bond; that the bond would be at six percent 6%) or less; that the billing would be twice a year, twice for the interest and once for the principal; that a payoff required a five percent 5%) premium on the unpaid principal. Mr. Urban J. Schreiner stated the notice received in the mail by the property owners which stated the estimated assessment on the property was based on the original estimated cost of this work; that the estimate was made before the construction bids were received on October 30, 1963; that the construction bids were substantially below the Engineer's estimate; that the special consultants to the City and the City staff held a meeting two 2) days previous to review the bids and to review the estimate of cost of this job; that it was their recommendation to the City Council-to lower everyone's assessment by slightly over twenty percent 20%). Mayor Bloxham asked if any person who had filed a written protest, or his representative, desired to be heard in support of such protests. Mrs. T. E. Johnson, 3825 North Foster, Baldwin Park, stated she wrote requesting to be included in the district; that her property faced the County Trunk Line; that at one time the City Engineer did assure her than an eight 8) inch line could feasibly be put down in the street over the existing trunk line at a much shallower depth which would be much more economical to the people; that she would be willing to contact other people facing that street if the Council would be willing to consider this to see if they felt the same as she did. Mr. William E. Stamper, 3367 North Nolina Street, Baldwin Park, asked if sewers were going to go through whether the people wanted them or not. Mr. Schreiner stated that the procedure that the law required did not require a vote; that the people were given an opportunity to file their protests and objec- tions; that the City Council had the right to make the decision to go forward or to abandon the proceedings, Mr. Robert T. Solton, Attorney, spoke regarding the par- cels of land being taken for school purposes. He stated that the complaint for eminent domain was filed on September 24, 1963; that there were eighteen 18) parcels under condemnation; that seven 7) of these property owners had apparently come to terms; that the escrow should close very shortly; that as far as the rest of the properties, the property owners were not protesting the validity of the proceedings; that they had a quarrel as to the evalua- tion of the assessment;that the homes would be taken out; that they were asking that this area be eliminated from the assessment district. 1487.

Mr. Howard Sutterfield, Assistant Superintendent, Baldwin HOIJARD SUTTERF)ELD, Park Unified School District, stated he wanted the Council Asst. Supt., B.Pk. to take into consideration even though the school was Unified School Dis- acquiring the property they would also need sewers; that trict it was hoped that the Council would see fit to exclude this at this time because the school would be built and was hoped to be in operation within one 1) year; that the primary concern was that the escrows not be delayed and a way be found to assess the school district after it became the owner of these properties and to later assess the other properties as they become district property. Mr. Earl Strawn, 13360 Tracy, Baldwin Park, stated the EARL STRAWN, 13360 title company had told him tomorrow November 8, 1963, the Tracy, B.Pk. assessments would be on the properties; that he was one of the seven people in escrow to be school property); that his property went in escrow on September 4, 1963; and didn't think an assessment to him was fair; that he owned two parcels in this district but only received notice on one. He asked if it was going to be mandate that the people connect to the sewers right away; that in his opinion there had not been a fair survey taken; that he objected to the City Engineer's report being approved the same day it was asked for; that he would like the people of the City to express themselves by voting in this matter. Mr. Schreiner stated the fact that an assessment was levied on property in escrow did not mean that the current owner would pay the assessment; that the assess- ment was on the land itself; that when an assessment was levied on property in escrow and the escrow was closed this did not change the fact that the assess- ment remained on the property and must be paid by the new owner; that the documents in the City Engineer's report were a mat ter of,puib t i c record. Mr. Strawn asked if the Council had the authority to set this assessment aside, say for forty-five 45) days. Mr. Schreiner stated the Council was guided by legal URBAN J. 3CHRE)NER principles; that it did have the discretion to have the assessment spread in accordance with the benefits; that it had the discretion to determine what property in the assessment district was benefited; that the Council did have the discretion to have the hearing continued for a re.sonable time and to set aside the proceedings; that in he avent the proceedings were continued for a substan+ici period of ime it would not be possible for the Council to make an award of the construction contract whose bid was the low bid. He also stated that there were approximately one hundred ten 110) written pro- APPROXIMATELY 110 tests 3 % of land less than one-half of the land WRITTEN PROTESTS within the district). Mr. Joseph Balkus, 4625 North Harlan Avenue, Baldwin Park, JOSEPH BALKUS, 4625 stated he was sure it was not the original intent of the N. Harlan Ave., B.Pk original design to bring the main trunk line within ten 10) feet of the front door when economically and engineer- ing wise it was feasible to do otherwise; that normally sewers increase property values. He asked how much time there was for one to-take further steps if opinions differed. Mr. Schreiner stated there would be thirty 30) days.

Mr. Rossetti stated the City Engineer had a suggestion to eliminate that line and redirect the line from Dunia Street and instead of flowing west to flow east; that if this was done it would eliminate two hundred forty 240) feet of assessment against the Baker property and would modify the assessmentagainst the Balkus property; that this was at the discretion of the City Council; that as far as the opinion of the Assessment Engineer the current assessment was a logical way of spreading the assessment; that if there were problems involved in subdivision this was another matter. Mr. Baker stated if he was assessed for Dunia, sixty 60) feet, that in his opinion he should be able to build a house there. Mayor Bloxham instructed that the Engineers further study COUNCIL INSTRUCTION this matter. Mrs. H. H. Steedley, 3428 San Gabriel River Parkway, Baldwin MRS. H. H. STEEDLEY, Park, protested the cost of the sewers. 3428 San Gab. River Parkway, B.Pk. Mr. Wayne M. Collum, 13511 Lubicon, Baldwin Park, stated WAYNE M. COLLUM, his notice was mailed to Kin lock. He asked when the 13511 Lubicon, B.Pk. property owners would be notified of any action that would be taken on the appeals or objections. Mr. Schreiner stated there was no requirement that any further notice be given as to when the City staff reports back to the City Council; that all formal action legally had to be taken at an open Council meeting; that the pro- tests and objections given tonight would be studied by the City staff and the City staff will then make a further recommendation just as it did on the financial aspect of the job and the City Council would then place it on the Agenda for a regular meeting; that this would take approxi- mately two 2) weeks to get these thing ironed out. Mr. Collum stated that he had not been able to obtain a formula for the assessment; that he did not feel persons on a cul-de-sac should be assessed in that manner"; that when there was three 3) pieces of property on one side of the cul-de-sac that were all different sizes and shapes and all assessed the same there should be some adjustment. lair. Rossetti explained the reasoning behind the assessment and stafod that he recommended no change regarding this Lropert; to the Council. hMr. Coiium stated he was requesting a reevaluation of this and maybe a reassessment. Mr. Preston Matthew, representing the Church of Christ, PRESTON IAATTHEt'!, 3510 Baldwin Park Boulevard, Baldwin Park, stated the Church of Christ, property reached from Baldwin Park Boulevard to Maine 3510 B.Pk. Blvd., Street, 22721 feet on each street; that they were being B.Pk. assessed for 455 feet; that due to the City of Baldwin Park regulations they were forced to purchase this property for a parking lot; that they requested that this assessment be reconsidered and reevaluated. Mr. Rossetti explained that the property could be divided and developed and that he found nothing wrong with the assessment.

Mr. Rossetti stated those changes could be made. He further stated that the present use of the property did not affect the assessment spread. Mr. Schreiner also explained that the fact that property may be zoned for a particular use did not mean that the property could not be assessed x" number of dollars even though under the current use it may be under a restricted form of use; that the assessment was spread on the land underneath that parking lot just as though the parking lot was not there. Mrs. Raelene N. Morton, 13030 East Farnell, Baldwin Park, MRS. RAELENE N. stated that every property owner in Tract No. 26383 had MORTON, 13030 E. signed a petition that they did not want sewers; that no Parnell, B.Pk. one would benefit from the sewers. Mr. Schreiner stated this was up to the discretion of the City Council to look upon this and adopt a policy of sewering all of the streets in the City or severing all but the streets where everyone protests or take whatever action it feels appropriate. Mrs. Morton stated that the homes were only eighteen 18) months old and had septic tanks which cost $500.00; that in her opinion she did not feel that because one hundred sixty-six people requested sewers that the owners in the tract should have to put in sewers; that this property was located south of the freeway off of Frazier Street; that Farnell was a cul-de-sac. Mrs. Enrico Chastek, 13024 Ledford, Baldwin Park, stated MRS. ENRICO CHASTEK, she had a corner lot on a half circle and asked if $557.78 13024 Ledford, B.Pk. would be her total assessment; that this assessment was going to make a financial hardship on some of the properties in this area. Mr. Rossetti stated this was the total assessment. Mr. Schreiner stated with the recommended twenty percent 20%) decrease the assessment would be approximately $440.00 and explained the bond payments if this was not paid in cash. M.. T. E. Roberge, 13050 Farnell, Baldwin Park, stated T. E. ROBERGE, 1305C he had called the City Hall before he bought this Farnell, B.Pk. property, about nine 9) weeks ago, and had been told they had no idea of any sewers at all"; that he could not afford sewers. Mr. Ray Schweitzer, 2655 North Beverly Glen, Los Angeles, RAY SChWEITZER, 2655 s ated he protested the construction of the sewer along N. Beverly Glen, L. Clive Sr;-eel at this particular time; that it was his oo~nicn rn-, sewer could be projected into the M-2 land to serv? or the development of the land on both sides of the street and still act as a transmission line for District No. 3; that at this time the transmission sewer line on Olive would serve no practical purpose and be expensive and could be included later. Mr. Pierce A. Phillips, 1400 North Virginia, Baldwin Park, r'1ERCE A. PHILLIPS, ask how soon the project would be completed after the 1400 N. Virginia, money was collected. B.Pk. Mr. Schreiner stated the work, if the sewer district proceeded, would commence almost immediately; that there was a seven 7) month construction period for the entire job.

Mr. Jack Thomas, 13151 Shaver, Baldwin Park, asked why he did not receive a notice in the mail. Mr. Rossetti explained that the names were taken from the last equalized assessment roll on file with the County and that there had been approximately four hundred fifty 450) notices returned; that an effort was being made to obtain the correct addresses. Mr. Thomas stated that he could not afford the sewers and did not need them; that he wanted to know if this community, behind the Edgewood Drive-in Theatre had any appeal; that there were thirty-one 31) homes in this tract. Mayor Bloxham stated the protest would be accepted and taken into consi.deration. Mr. Richard Genovese, 4603 Walnut Street, Baldwin Park, stated that in his opinion Baldwin Park should be cleaned up and not worry about sewers and septic tanks; that there was trash in town and across the street from him; that he thought he was being charged too much. Mr. Rossetti stated the assessment was in keeping with the area to all of the other property owners. Mr. Genovese asked if the property owners had to hook up to the sewers. Mayor Bloxham stated they were not compelled to hook up. Mr. Thomas asked if he could have the figure of his assess- ment since he did not get a written notice. Mr. Rossetti stated it was $557.78, minus the twenty percent 20%). Mr. Thomas asked if anything could be done about the entrance and exit traffic and the amount of debris thrown along the entrance street. Mayor 3loxham stated he would make a note of this; that it was off the subject of tonight's meeting. Mr. Elliott Denison, 4072 North Harlan, Baldwin Park, protested the high cost. An unidentified woman asked if the people would have to hook up. Mayor Bloxham stated his answer was that the people did not have to hook up. City Engineer Young stated the people were not obligated to hook up at the time the sewers go by; however it had been the policy of the City that as the sewers were available and the septic tanks went bad then owners must hook up. Mr. Verne Rosevear, 3921 Hornbrook Avenue, Baldwin Park, asked what guarantee the people had that the streets would be put back in their original condition.
