Mayor Morehead stated that to had two objections to the votomatic: 1. the excessive cost; and 2, that the only time gained would be in getting the returns to the Clerk's office; that votomatic ballots would have to be delivered to a computer and It would probably be sometime the next day before the results were obtainable; that for these reasons he would be opposed to the votomatic for the April election. City Clerk Backus stated she had spoken with an election supplier that supplied 55 cities; that out of this number 32 had elected to remain with paper ballots; that 14 cities had decided on the votomatic; that 19 cities had not commented one way or the other. Councilman McCaron inquired if anyone else had had any experience with this machine as yet. City Clerk Balkus stated that the machine had been used in Pomona and Alhambra; that the results had been quite successful; that they had had an IBM Computer available. Councilman McCaron Inquired why the computer was not provided with the votomatic; that he wondered why it was not a complete package. City Clerk Balkus stated that the County proposed to have local computing centers set up; that as of this date she did not know where; that for the June primary election the computing center would be on Wilshire Boulevard; that all counting would be done there.

Councilwoman Gregory stated she would rather the City stayed with the paper ballot; that she had been working with the votomatic with the 04ople out In the area; that she felt there was a good deal of educational work to be dope; that she hoped to see it used in the future. City Clerk Balkus thanked the Council for their ccmAlents. 00- Mayor Morehead commented that Conditional Use Permit Case No. CP-97 had come before the Board of Zoning Adjustments three separate times; that if it were appealed this time It would have been before the Council three separate times also. Planning Director Chivetta stated that the second time the applicant had withdrawn his application after two continuances; that the third time the applicant had substantiated his case to the Board; that the applicant had shown that the property could be made compatible with the surrounding area; that it would not create any more of a traffic hazard than the existing businesses; that these were the reasons the request was approved by the Board this time. Mayor Morehead stated that some of the objections In the past to a service station had been the reflection of light, the noise from cars driving over the bell cord and the hours of operation. Plenan.ing Director Chivetta stated that the lighting would be shielded to reflect away from the adjacent properties; that the hours of operation were not covered; that one other objection to this station was the ingress and egress would be off of Ituni; that this would create a straight path through the residential area located In West Covina; that there would be a wall Installed and this would deter vehicular access; that there would be only one means of access to the property and this would be from Dalewood; that this has stopped most of the objections. Councilman McCaron asked if any standards had been set for deflecting lights away from residential property in the area. Planning Director Chivetta stated that there were no standards excepting that the lighting plan would be reviewed when it was submitted; that they would try to soften the light from the freestanding sign. Councilman McCaron asked if anything occurred to make this usage a nuisance since it was a conditional Use permit could this be brought back before the Council. City Attorney Flandrick stated, yes, that under certain circumstances there was a provision for revocation and for modification.
