Mayor McCaron stated that Mr. Macsurak's communication to
the City had stated that he realized that the license was
not transferrable.
Mr. Macsurak stated that when he had moved a previous MR. MACSURAK
business from one location to another he had had to pay

transferrable meant; that the business license on an
existing business was proper until It expired.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that Mr. Macsurak's
letter of June 17, 1968 stated that 1 know the present li-
cense states on it not transferrable"; that the only mean-
ing the City placed on this was that it was nontransferrable
from one party to another; that it did clot mean location,
It meant individual; that this was a portion of the City
business license code and had been for quite soave time;
that even when the fee schedule had been changed about two
years ago the penalty clause had been retained, which was
10% per month; that the penalty due to this case was for
three 3) month; that the business license would be $50.00;

location that he had not heard about; that he did know that
this had been quite a troublesome location since the billiard
center had been opened; that he had spoken with Chief Adams
this evening and he was amazed at the police calls that had
been answered at the location and the arrests that had been
made of both juveniles and adults; that Mr. Hubbard had
stated that he lived from day to day with fear that further
harm would be done to his family and himself; that Mr.
Hubbard's wife had been physically assaulted by someone in
the area; that he felt as a result of these activities the
Council should have a recommendation from the Chief of Police,
the Chief Administrative Officer and the City Attorney to
see what could be done to eliminate any further happenings.
Mr, Clyde Hubbard, 13550 Corak Street, Baldwin Park, stated CLYDE HUBBARD,
that many undesirables were collecting in the parking area 13550 CORAK ST.,

including over his wall and onto his property; that
there had been arrests made in his back yard; that he
had two rooms in the back yard where two of his children
slept; that not very long ago he had heard his two
daughters screaming out In the back yard; that he went
outside and found the police officers had a man with
handcuffs on backed up to the door of the girls bedroom;
that he had found and turned in to the police department
capsules which the police stated had contained barbituates;
that he had witnessed glue sniffing in the area; that he
had called the police and had witnessed in court for the
police department; that last Sunday his wife had been
physically assaulted by one of these people; that his
wife had made a citizens arrest and an officer had taken
the girl in; that his children were too frightened to
play in the yard alone; that because he himself was afraid
he had sat in the house with a shotgun; that they had
threatened to burn his house down and threatened him in
many other ways; that a couple of months ago they had
witnessed a shooting in the area; that the man that owned
the gas station on the corner had been assaulted last
Saturday night; that the last time he had witnessed in
court it had been against one juvenile and three adults;
that he had actually seen girls seduced in the school yard,
which also paralleled his property; that his children had
heard enough profane language In one day to last for a
life time; that he had tried to sell his property, but
the realtors were aware of the situation and would not
even try.
Chief of Police Adams stated that In a two months period,
April and May, the police department had had 79 calls for
services at this location; that so far in the month of
June they had made 24 arrests; that the arrests ranged
from adults for intoxication, minors for intoxication,
loitering and disturbing the peace; that the majority
of the cases were concerned with persons under 21 years
of age; that he had recommended to the City Attorney that
the City's ordinance be changed to restrict the age of
persons allowed In pool halls to 21; that under a previous
Chief of Police it had been recommended that persons be
allowed in pool halls down to the age of 16, provided they
had parental consent; that this had been the first time a
problem had developed; that he felt certain the Chief
Administrative Officer and he could work out the problem
of having personnel assigned to the area, which would
perhaps eliminate the problem; that he had obtained a
couple of ordinances that might be of value from the
Deputy District Attorney at Citrus Municipal Court,
concerning State Penal Statutes, which would give the
police department the authority to operate on the parking
areas and the open areas adjecent to the building; that
he recommended that the Council adopt an ordinance re-
scinding the age of 16 and restricting the age to 21 for
entrance into billiard and pool halls.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that he would certainly
be in agreement with Chief Adams that the ordinance
restricting the age to 21 would be a step in the right
direction; that he had drafted an urgency ordinance for
Council's consideration; that he would also recommend
that if the Council adopted the ordinance and after a
period of a week or ten days the problem was not sub-
stantially reduced that the Council authorize the
authority to file a civil action to abate the business
as a public nuisance.

a report from the Planning Commission entitled, Civic KING, CHAIRMAN OF P.C.
Center". He stated that the report was a culmination of OF REPORT ENTITLED
studies over the past year, relative to the Civic Center CIVIC CENTER"
complex and the basic steps to be undertaken to develop
a civic center site that would convey the image of Baldwin
Park as a City On the Move"; that they hoped the City
Council would be as proud of the report as they were; that
this City Council was the most progressive that the City
had ever had, progressive with moderation; that they had
overcome many obstacles during their years of serving the
citizens of Baldwin Park; that it took a while for any
Council's actions to bear fruit; that the results of Council's
past actions could now be seen throughout the City; that the
City had a very good staff, to help guide the Council and keep
the City moving progressively; that the Planning Commission
and Planning staff would be as progressive as time allowed,
Mayor McCaron thanked Mr. King for all the work the Planning MAYOR MCCARON,
Commission had put Into the report and for Mr. King's kind COMMENT
words to the Council. He stated that the Council would take
the report under advisement and for study.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that the report C.A,0. NORDBY,
from the Planning Commission regarding the civic center COMMENT
did not consider financing, which was a very Important
facet; that this evening the State Senate Finance Committee
was meeting; that they had one very crucial decision to
make and this was on the reallocation of funds on the 1947
Cigarette Tax; that If the modification of the Cigarette
Tax was successful the City of Baldwin Park would gain an
estimated $70,000,00 a year In revenue; that this was one
avenue of financing the civic center; that he felt those
who regularly attended City Council meetings here and In
other council chambers and had moved about this-City's
departments had found that the facilities were quite
inadequate to perform the services for a City of 45,000
people; that if the Senate Committee on Finance approved
the bill this evening they hoped to push the bill through

Officer Nordby and he had been discussing the situation HALL DISC. EARLIER
relating to the pool hall discussed by Council earlier in IN IRTG,
the meeting; that from the presentation made by Mr. Hubbard
and Chief of Police Adams It appeared that the business as
presently operated constituted a public nuisance; that he
felt they would all agree, that while the Ordinance Council
had adopted would be helpful, it was not the final answer;
that he was presenting to Council at this point, the question
of whether the City Attorney should be authorized to file,
if necessary, an action to abate the business as a public
nuisance.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that he agreed
with City Attorney Flandrick; that the Ordinance adopted
this evening would merely change the age of those persons
permitted on the property and this would not really solve
the problem. He said It had been suggested to the developers
of the property that some speed bumpers be built in the park-
Ing lot, but this had never been accomplished. They had
indicated by their inaction that they did not intend to comply.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that If Council accepted the
recommendation it would take a day or two to prepare the
pleadings and file the action and if within that period of
time or even thereafter the nuisance was abated in a reason-
able manner any action would be withheld and the matter would
again be presented to Council.

Nordby brought an item on the Agenda concerning an OF B.P)C. JOIN ROUTE
organization that was formulated within the last three 243 FREEWAY CONSTRUC-
months. The organization Is known as the Route 243 Free-
TION ASSOCIATION"
way Construction Association". Route 243 is on extension
of Freeway 605. Route 243 commences at the San Bernardino
Freeway in Baldwin Park at the westerly City limits and will
extend in a northerly direction to the route of the Foothill
Freeway, which Is now under construction. The purpose of the
Association is to attempt to accelerate the construction.
This route is not on the Federal Aid System, however the
cities along the route feel it would be economically
advamtegous to them. The Chairman of the group, which had
ô·ê—¡p been formalized by by-laws, was the former Mayor of
Arcadia, Dale þ€º—«u. Mr. Turner had also been Chairman of
the Foothill Freeway Associat%ü¨Ùîphich had been instrumental
in accelerating the construction of the FÓᑧkl Freeway,
which is now under way. City Engineer French attended the WfòóÃ
# first two meetings. The Association's by-laws set up the
fe‘ÑÚŠoedule for public agencies at $50,00. Approximately
eight 8) cities –”–– ` to the Association and the Association
Is p&Þ·–½nng that contributions be solicited from businesses
on the basis of |[ÿÉâ70 for over fifty employees, less than
fifty employees, $25.00, Chamber1£Ÿî'Commerce, $25,00 and
indjviduals $10.00. He recommended that Baldwin ¸Ò¼’îmoin
the Association.
Mayor McCaron stated>3°‘¯s he felt the City should be Involved
with this Association, z`«œ¸br It should not require more
than two years effort; as the State haÌM¿•¼bady set this up
to put the route through as soon as possible. He explù=¬œª'

Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that although
the scheduling was for a couple of years hence he thought
it would be just wishful thinking to think that they
might adhere to this schedule; that if no action was
taken or pressure brought to bear it could be put off
for another three, four or five years.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that they had requested
that the by-laws be amended as to public agencies so
that there would be no other charge, assessment or
liability without the consent of the public agency;
that the Council's action in joining should be subject
to such an amendment so that there could not be any

Planning Director Chivetta reviewed his report re- PLAN, DIR. REPORT RE
garding Irwindale's S" Overlay Zone. He stated that IRWINDALE#$ $"
Council had instructed the staff to appear at Irwlndelets OVERLAY ZONE
Council meeting and protest because such a billboard
ordinance would be a detriment to the City of Baldwin
Park. He stated a meeting had been held with the City
Manager and the City Attorney of Irwindale and with the
Outdoor Advertising people. Planning Director Chivetta
placed a map on the mall stating that the areas where
the S" Overlay Zone would apply in Irwindale were along
Arrow Highway from Peck Road to Maine Avenue, along Live
Oak from Arrow Highway to Rivergrade Road, along Rivergrade
Road from Live Oak to Ramona Boulevard, along Ramona
Boulevard from Rivergrade Road to Baldwin Park's westerly
city boundaries, along Lower Azusa Road Los Angeles Street)
between Rivergrade Road and Baldwin Parkfs westerly city
boundaries. They arrived at two alternatives to solve the
problem: 1) In the areas designated n a radius at Maine
Avenue and Arrow Highway, at Live Oak and Rivergrade Road,
at Ramona and Rivergrade Road within a 1200 ft. radius,
that no signs be permitted in this area; that the existing
signs be allowed to be maintained with a phase out period;
2) Delete along Lower Azusa Road the S" Overlay Zone and
to delete the S" Overlay Zone along Ramona Boulevard. The
sign companies have stated they Would be in agreement with
the City with alternative I) If the City would amend their
recommendation fox- alternative 2) that along Ramona Boulevard
the present existing signs would be maintained for a period of
x number of years in accordance with Irwindale's Zoning Ordinance.
They would not add any more signs along Ramona Boulevard; that
there was a possibility that those signs that were structurally
unsafe would be removed, which would cut the signage in half,
There are thirteen 13) existing signs along Ramona Boulevard
and there is a possibility that six 6) will be removed. This
appeared to be an equitable solution to the problem for recom-
mendation to the Irwindale City Council.
Councilman Morehead inquired if the 1200 ft, radius at Rivergrade
Road would have any bearing when Route 243 was constructed,
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the signs would be re-
moved from Rivergrade Road when the freeway was constructed;
that there could be no signs on a federally assisted freeway.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that they had studied aerial
photographs of Ramona Boulevard in Irwindale. They had found
that there was approximately a 700% increase in signage along
Ramona Boulevard in Irwindale since 1956.
Mayor McCaron stated that he felt the City should approach
the railroad to see if some cooperation could be obtained
from them; that there should also be some cooperation from
Irwindale In this particular area; that this would be like
placing many signs along Baldwin Park Boulevard entering
Baldwin Park; that considerable funds were being expended
to develop Ramona Boulevard and also Los Angeles Street,
Councilman Morehead inquired as to the possibility of the
other structures on Ramona Boulevard being removed.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that the existing structures
on Ramona Boulevard would be changed to steel, and a few could
not be rehabilitated. That the sign company did not wish to

rehabilitate them. As Irwindale's Code presently exists
they should be deleted within a period of years, unless
the Council sees fit to extend the time limitation or
the sign company applied for a variance to continue the
signage along Ramona Boulevard. He explained that it was
conceivable that there were two approaches: 1) to re-
commend to the City of Irwindale that they delete the
S" Overlay Zone and that the variance be granted to the
sign company to maintain their signs for a period of say
two or three years, or until such time as Baldwin Park
completed the revamping of Ramona Boulevard and the
Rivergrade Freeway was completed; that at that time they
would be removed; that the City Council in Irwindale had
continued the public hearing pending a recommendation from
the City Council of Baldwin Park.
It was the consensus of Council opinion that the request
to Irwindale's City Council would be to delete the S"
Overlay Zone along Ramona Boulevard and Lower Azusa Road
and that Irwindale approve a variance for the maintenance
of the signs until the City of Baldwin Park completed the
revamping of Ramona Boulevard and the construction of the
Rivergrade Freeway was completed.
City Attorney Flandrick suggested that Councils request
to the City of Irwindale should be formalized by a letter
from Chief Administrative Officer Nordby to Irwindale's
City Manager.
