Maslanka, 1210 East Allen Avenue, Glendora, California, JOSEPH MASLANKA,
concerning property owned by Mr. Maslanka at 3825 Big 1210 E. ALLEN AVE.,
Dalton Avenue. Copy of letter in official files) GLENDORA, RE PROPERTY
AT 3825 BIG DALTON
AVE.
Assistant City Engineer Gordon stated that Mr. Maskanka's
letter referred to work ordered by the City Council on July
17, 1968, as part of Assessment District 68-S-29. He stated
that it was the opinion of the City Engineer that the work
should be given top priority, as the property is on the corner
of Central Avenue and Big Dalton Avenue directly across from
the Central School and therefore, Big Dalton Avenue had a
large pedestrian flow of children; that in the event Mr.
Maslanka's request was granted, the area would be improved
with concrete sidewalk with the exception of approximately
sixteen 16') feet of asphalt in front of Mr. Maslanka's
property; that the problem with the joining of the asphalt
and the concrete drive was a common problem when unimproved
areas were improved with street improvements; that they
attempted to make a smooth transition in the asphalt area,
however sometimes a minor nuisance problem was created in
the driveway area but the effect was minimal; that he recom-
mended that Mr. Maslanka's letter be received and filed.
MAYOR MCCARON MOVED THAT MR. MASLANKA'S LETTER BE RECEIVED MOTION MADE AND

TO ALLOW THE SALE OF
USED GOODS
Mr. Arthur Cunningham, 4124 North Maine Avenue, Baldwin Park,
stated that he received requests from people who walked into
the shop for used goods and that he had to send them elsewhere.
He stated that in other areas, such as West Covina, short arms
were sold; that he would like to be able to take a trade-in
when he sold something new and be able to sell the trade-in;
that he had been in business in this location for three 3) months.
Planning Director Chlvetta stated that Mr. Cunningham was
operating a pawn shop in the community which was permissible
under the C-2 regulations, however because of an amendment to
the Code, used sales of items in the commercial zones were
restricted; that this was only permitted in the M-I Zones; that
Mr. Cunningham lent money on things that were brought into his
shop, such as watches, rings, etc., however Mr. Cunningham was
unable to sell these items from the premises or any other type
of used merchandise.
Mayor McCaron stated that Council had had reasons for prohibiting
the sale of used goods in the C-2 Zone; that the sale of used
goods was not conducive to upgrading the area when this type of
business was mixed in with other businesses; that he felt there

should be a regular place for pawn shops; that perhaps the
Planning Commission should make a study as to where a
desirable location would be.
Planning Director Chivetta stated that Mr. Cunningham had a
business license for a jewelry shop, however the sign on the
front of the store read Pawn Shop".
Mr. Cunningham stated that some pawn shops were very attractive; MR. CUNNINGHAM
for instance the one on the El Monte Mall; that it depended on
how the business was handled.
Mayor McCaron stated that if Council allowed this usage the
same usage would have to be allowed to everyone.
Councilman Morehead stated that he felt a study should be made;
that it seemed to him that pawn shops being allowed to receive
used goods in the C-2 Zone, but not allowed to sell the goods
were in the wrong zone; that at this time it appeared to him
that pawn shops should be in the M-I Zone, along with used
furniture stores and anything else that was used merchandise.
Councilman Hamilton asked Mr. Cunningham what percentage of
sales would be used. Mr. Cunningham stated that used goods MR. CUNNINGHAM
were hard to sell unless they were expensive goods; that it
might be 50%.
Councilman Morehead asked Mr. Cunningham if he had checked to
see what he would be allowed to do in the particular zone
before he had opened for business. Mr. Cunningham stated he
had checked and found that it was C-2 before he had opened up
the business.
It was the concensus of Council opinion that this matter be REFERRED TO P.C.
referred to the Planning Commission for a study. FOR STUDY

Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that it was not C.A.0. REPORT RE
Intended that the proposed Private Parking Lot Ordinance be PROPOSED PRIVATE
introduced this evening. He stated that the Chief of Police PARKING LOT ORD.
had indicated to him that this proposed ordinance might be
effective in curbing some of the problems that had erupted in

Billiard Center; that he suggested that the ordinance be
referred to the City Attorney for his perusal.

Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that he had dis- C.A.0. REPORT RE
tributed to Council the report from the League of California 1% PROPERTY TAX
Cities and a two 2) page memorandum from his office concerning LIMITATION FOR THE
the 1% Property Tax Limitation for the November Initiative NOV. INITIATIVE
Election; that he had also received some comments in response ELECTION
to a letter he had sent to Stone & Youngberg and also O'Ms(veny
& Myers; that this subject also concerned the Los Angeles
Division of the League of California Cities; that there was a
meeting scheduled for August 23, 1968 and the Chairman of the
League had suggested that all cities be represented at this
meeting. He stated that in his opinion this was- one of the
most irresponsible measures that had been introduced in quite
a few years; that he had also communicated with the Superin-
tendent of Schools as it seemed to affect that kind of activity
the most directly. He explained that if this initiative were
adopted in the November election, within a period of five years
it would no longer permit school systems to be supported by
property taxes; that it would effect the City in that it would
have a 5% of maket value limitation on the issuance of bonds;
that the City had just passed one crisis when the cigarette
tax was reallocated to provide sufficient funds for the City
of Baldwin Park to finance a new city hall; that if this
initiative were to pass it would be virtually impossible to
build a new city hall as the City would be unable to borrow any
money; that it would place a limitation of 1% of fair market

value on property tax; that this measure throughout the State
would take approximately 2.5 billion dollars off of the tax
rolls: that to replace it would require one of two things,
I) an increase in the state income tax, or 2) an increase
in the sales tax from 5% to 12%; that this was a serious
matter and would have certain voter appeal.
Discussion followed.
