Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated, for the benefit of the audience, that the staff intended to bring before the Council a number of cases similar to these; that the Council could expect eventually to have hearings at every meeting concerning public nuisances.

Councilwoman Gregory stated she would be very reluctant to scrub" the cadet program; that she thought through legislation the Council should do something to retain the young men and do something towards bettering the position of the policemen and probably the cadet program could be the lever used; that, in her opinion, even giving up the cadet program temporarily would be defeating a purpose; that she would prefer that the cadet, program stay. She stated certainly the City could not afford to pay a man patrolman's wages and have him sitting at the dispatcher's desk; that she would like to see some thought put in on retaining the cadet program. Councilman McCaron asked if the intent was not to recruit any further patrolmen through the cadet program. Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated the idea was not to recruit anyone who was in the priority draft age between the ages of 18 and 21; that in the past the City had found people up to 36 years old and even older with backgrounds that have been acceptable who were not subject to the draft and could probably serve very well as patrolmen with a minimum amount of training; that it was not recommended that the program be permanently dispensed with. Councilman McCaron asked if there was anything that would prevent the Department from hiring patrolmen without having to keep a full complement of cadets. Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated the staff would have to receive an approval from the Council for a change in the Table of Organization; that the Selective Service Board had taken a firm stand on some of the men that did not look very encouraging; that there was one deferral granted for a year based upon the mental capabilities in the examination but after a year the individual would be gone for two years anyway. COUNCILMAN MCCARON MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE CADET PROGRAM UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO REACTIVATE IT. Mayor Crites asked if it was the intention to cancel the program out and the men who were in it or let them go as long as the government would allow them to stay. Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated the ones who were fortunate enough to be able to remain in the program would not be cancelled. He suggested the Council could modify the suggestion and permit the staff to put on two patrolmen and attempt to fill possibly three of the cadet positions. He stated the Chief of Police had some informa- tion on the status of the present cadets. Continued) November 3, 1965 Page 5 REPORT BY C.A.O. RE REQ. TO SUSPEND CADET PROGRAM IN LIEU OF INCREASE IN PATROL PERSONNEL PROPOSITION TO EXCHANGE 6 CADET POSITIONS FOR 5 PATROLMEN POSITIONS MOTION MADE BIB] 39576-U01 1965-U02 11-U02 03-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 LI1-U03 FO9994-U03 FO116848-U03 DO116932-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 5/5/2008-U04 ROBIN-U04 REGULAR-U05 SESSION-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 1965 11 03 CC MINHÄ—@¸—/òÍ«2601 Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council November 3, 1965 Page 6 Chief of Police Adams stated at the present time that out of five 5) members of the cadet program four had received their physical examinations and their intelligence tests; that two of the men had rated sufficiently high to rate a deferral; that of the remaining two it would appear that within 30 to ninety days they would be inducted; that the fifth man was twenty-two years old but yet fell within the limits of the cadet program; that the cadet program was within the ages of 18 and 23; that this man had been in the service and would remain with the City unless called back because of his reserve status. He stated he had three officers that he might possibly lose who were married but without a family; that he understood one had received a letter to go in for his examination. Councilman Morehead asked the motion maker to withdraw his motion stating that the reason for this request was that he had been in conference with Mr. Nordby and the Chief of Police on this subject and he thought he had researched this matter and that he had something real sound that he would like the Council to hear; that his thinking included a motion. Councilman McCaron stated he would withdraw the motion MOTION WITHDRAWN temporarily. COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED THAT THE SUSPENSION OF THE CADET MOTION MADE AND PROGRAM BE HELD FOR FURTHER STUDY AND RESEARCH, AND THAT SECONDED THE MAYOR IF AVAILABLE OR MAYOR PRO TEM IF AVAILABLE ATTEMPT TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SELECTIVE SERVICE BOARD IN PASADENA, OR ANY OTHER OFFICE IN THIS AREA THAT HAS JURISDICTION IN THE SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM, AND BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE CHIEF OF POLICE OR THE CHIEF ADMINISTRA- TIVE OFFICER AND MAKE A PERSONAL APPEAL TO THAT BOARD OR BOARDS ON SUBJECT MATTER OF DEFERRMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL OF ALL AGES. I THINK THIS ROUTE OF COMMUNICATION WILL BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN MAIL OR TELEPHONE CONTACTS. AND THIS COUNCIL ADOPT A URGENCY RESOLUTION COVERING THIS MATTER AND FORWARD VIA AIR MAIL TO THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE GENERAL HERSHEY THE CHIEF OF THE SELECTIVE SERVICE FOR THE ARMED FORCES. I THINK THAT THIS ACTION IS QUITE NECESSARY, AND I AM SURE IF THE ABOVE BOARDS OR OFFICE HOLDERS TAKE ANY ACTION THIS WILL NOT ONLY BENEFIT OUT LOCAL PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT BUT ALL PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THESE UNITED STATE.S. I DEFINITELY THINK THIS SUBJECT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE ABOVE ADDRESSEES DUE TO THE FACT OUR COUNTRY IS NOT IN A STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY, OR IN A STATE OF WAR. I ALSO THINK THAT ANY MEMBER OF ANY PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AND NEEDED PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THESE MEMBERS WOULD BE TO THE ARMED FORCES IN ANY CAPACITY. THE SELECTION AND PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS OF MEMBERS OF ANY PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT, IN MY OPINION, ARE MORE RIGID THAN THAT OF THE SELECTIVE SERVICE. I AM SURE THAT 90% OR MORE OF THE PERSONNEL THAT ARE REJECTED BY VARIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENTS WOULD BE SELECTED BY THE SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM DUE TO THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO AGENCIES PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS. A COPY OF SUBJECT RESOLUTION TO BE MAILED TO ALL LAW ENFORCING AGENCIES IN THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY. COUNCILWOMAN GREGORY SECONDED. Councilman McCaron stated he thought that there should be a little latitude left for the Department to work with; that appealing to someone else to control what is necessary for immediate action was not a proper course; that the Department should be allowed to hire someone at the time they need them; that in the past it had never proved to be successful to have to depend upon deferments; that the reason he had made the motion he made was to allow the Department to have a little latitude and the motion did not mean that they had to dispense with the present cadets on hand; that it would allow the Chief to hire other personnel qualified to handle the job.

Councilman McCaron commented that inasmuch as it was just stated that the Department had to follow a specified pro- gram in selecting any new recruits for their Department, what other procedure is there? City Attorney Flandrick stated none that he knew of; that it would depend on how much time the Chief thought the department had before there were no Cadets left. Chief of Police Adams stated that it had been 30 days since the men had been notified; that there would be 60 days left at the most. City Attorney Flandrick suggested that perhaps if the second motion were to carry the Council might at the same time instruct the Chief of Police to commence a recruiting pro- gram for patrolmen so that at the next Council meeting if it appeared that there was no success the Council would at least be in a position to proceed. Councilman McCaron stated that if the Chief continued to recruit men that were strictly available for the draft he was never going to get anywhere. Councilman Morehead reviewed his motion and then reread it at the request of Mayor Crites. COUNCILMAN MCCARON MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO FURTHER ADD TO IT THAT THE CADET PROGRAM BE SUSPENDED FOR THIRTY DAYS. Discussion fol-lowed wherein Councilman McCaron clarified that he wanted to set a limit on the time in which informa- tion should be obtained. COUNCILMAN ADAIR SECONDED. At the request of Councilman Morehead, Councilman McCaron with the consent of the second, Councilman Adair, withdrew the amendment to the main motion.

NO. 693 Engineering Department and processed through the Engineering and Planning Departments in accordance with the lot split ordinance; that there was no problem with the street plans, dedication was one of the requirements; that the applicant felt that the improvement requirements were excessive in that a complete improvement of Feather Avenue was required as it would. extend to Garvey; that this was in the area of Garvey, Feather and Corak Street by the school at the intersection of Vineland and Foster; that the applicant would be willing to dedicate Feather Avenue and a drainage easement to solve a drainage problem at the end of Feather Avenue and the additional widening on Francisquito Avenue; that he would also be willing to release the City of an obligation of the improvement of Francisquito Avenue that the City had entered into for the widening if the City would improve Feather Avenue; that Feather Avenue in all fairness probably was not a great benefit to this applicant; that he had C" zoning complete to Garvey Avenue all along; that he recommended that the City accept this offer and take the dedications subject to the above conditions. Councilman McCaron asked what would happen to the small tip at Garvey and Feather that would be severed from the other property. City Engineer French stated it would remain in the title of the applicant. City Attorney Flandrick stated that he wondered if some disposition should not be made on the tip; that it was not a buildable lot; that there would be problems from both the City's and the applicant's standpoint. City Engineer French stated the only practical use would be to put it with the address of 3060 No. Feather which was developed; that it be dedicated as part of the street if they were willing and then the City would be responsible for maintenance. Mr. Ernie Kiddell, 920 West Pine Street, West Covina, ERNIE KIDDELL, stated he represented Mr. Branson who was the owner 920 W. Pine St., of the property; that the portion of land left over W. Cov. had been discussed; that Mr. Branson would like to re- tain ownership of it; that maybe it would be wiser to turn the road where they could utilize that sliver of land and give Mr. Branson back a portion of land taken from him for the dedication to the City. City Engineer French stated the City could put a small radius on the street and turn it; that the only problem was when this was done land still would be left over. Mayor Crites asked if there would be objections to having RE DESIGN OF FEATHER Feather come out at right angles to Garvey Street instead AT GARVEY of at an angle.
