Mayor Morehead stated that the cabs should be in better physical condition than what they appear to be; that customers of the cab company complain about the lack of cleanliness in the cabs. Councilwoman Gregory stated most of the people she had spoken with concerning the cabs were senior citizens; that there had been no reflection on the cab drivers themselves; that the drivers were courteous; that the condition of the cabs was the complaint; that a complete survey of the service in Baldwin Park should be made and presented to the Council at a future date. Councilman McCaron stated that a report should be pre- sented to Council on the cab company°s complete activities, rates, etc., as compared with other areas. Mr. Al Rubino, Manager of Yellow Cab Company, 3944 Stichman, Baldwin Park stated that the cabs were washed once a week; that this had been started approximate-ly six 6) weeks ago; that lately there had been a heavy dew in the morning and that the men had not had a chance to clean the cabs off before they get out due to the rush from 6:00 to 8:00 a.m.; that from 10:00 to 2:00 p.m. the cabs were in good shape; that the company had pur- chased new water- cushion bumpers; that all of..their Chevy 11's would be equipped with these new safety bumpers; that the only urgency regarding this request was that the meters would have to be recalibrated and checked by the Department of Weights and Measures; that only five 5) meters a day could be done, and all before September Ist.

Council instructed City Attorney Flandrick to prepare an Ordinance for the next Council meeting concerning Council authority to review, amend and modify the rates for taxi service. Roll Call. There were no objections, the motion carried and was so ordered. 00- Chief Administrati Officer Nordby stated the next item concerned the propo amendments to the Personnel Rules and Regulations. Councilman McCaron asked if there was no limit on sick leave accrual what kind of a contingency would the City be involved In in a matter of 15 or 20 years. Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that the pattern established by employees really does not change; that the employee that does not use his sick leave very often and appears to be in good physical health and builds up the maximum of sixty 60) days was unlikely to abuse the privilege regardless of how long that they were with the City; that some employees probably through legitimate reasons use sick leave quite frequently and have very little accrued; that he did not feel there would be any financial impact. Councilman McCaron asked if the City was liable to pay all accrued sick leave of an employee upon retirement or discharge from the City. Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated1 no; that the request from the Employee's Association had recommended a formula upon which the employee would be paid once a year for accrued leave over a certain amount; that on this item a modification had been made and a different recommendation made to Council, pending a study of what financial impact this might create on the City; that he recommended lifting the ceiling on sick leave accrual. He stated that the employees were aware of the recommen- dation. Councilman McCaron stated that in the Employee's Associa- tion recommendations they had indicated that they wished the vacation leave to be working days and that this would work out at maximum accrual to more than a month's absence of calendar days; that he felt there should be a limit of one month maximum calendar days vacation leave.

Mayor Morehead stated that it was his understanding that nothing official had been received concerning the building Councilwoman Gregory had referred to; that the Information that the City Engineer had had caused him to reevaluate the fire zones and had caused him to recommend this particular ordinance.
