Big Dalton Avenue. COUNCILMAN GREGORY MOVED THAT THE CLAIM OF BERNARDO MORALES BE DENIED AND REFERRED TO THE INSURANCE CARRIER. COUNCILMAN KING SECONDED. There were no objections. The motion carried and was so ordered. 00- City Manager Mocalis stated that the City had been given a 1963 Ford van for Civil Defense use, by the San Gabriel Valley Emergency Radio Corporation.

VAN ACCEPTED City Manager Mocalis recommended that date to commence budget discussions. this would be considered when Council evening. 00- the Council set a Mayor Btewett stated adjourned this DATE TO BE SET FOR BUDGET DISCUSSIONS 00- City Manager Mocatis reviewed the memorandum from the Director of Public Works requesting authorization to remodel several areas of the City Hall at a proposed cost of approximately $14,500, which amount could be covered by savings made during the 1971-72 fiscal year. He stated the renovations were sorely needed, and recommended that the Council authorize the proposed work. Mr. Mocalis stated that one of the Councitmen had indicated we should be thinking in terms of a new City Ha11. rather than renovating the present building. Mr. Mocalis stated it was hoped that the Congress would pass Federal Revenue Sharing at this Session and, if so, Baldwin Park would receive approximately $612,000 a year for 5 years. He stated that, hopefully, a portion or a11 of these funds could be used for building a new City Ha11 facility. COUNCILMAN KING MOVED THAT THE AMOUNT OF $14.500 BE SET ASIDE FROM THE SAVINGS ACCRUED IN THE 1971-72 BUDGET TO ACCOMPLISH THE PROPOSED RENOVATIVE WORK. COUNCILMAN GREGORY SECONDED. Councilman Hamilton stated there was an obvious need for an improved City Ha11 facility, and he would be in favor of the motion, provided the work were not accomplished until it was known whether the City would receive the revenue sharing funds. He felt that with these funds, in two years we could have a new City Ha11 without going to the taxpayer for any more money. He did not feel we should spend money on something we would have to tear down, without getting the use from it. He stated if it would be for 3 or 4 years, it would be money well spent, but for the matter of a year, he felt it would not be worth it.

He felt the money spent would be worthwhile, and not only helpful to the staff but to the citizens as well- Discussion followed regarding when money would be available for financing construction of a new City Hall, and the preliminary plans which were being prepared by the architect. City Manager Mocalis stated that. in his opinion, it would be unrealistic to think we could move into a new building in less than 3 years. Further discussion followed regarding the condition of the roof on the present facility. City Manager Mocalis stated the leakage which had occurred during the past winter had been repaired; however, in order to permanently solve the problem, the building would have to be completely re-roofed. Councilman McCaron suggested that carpeting the stairs and hallway outside the Council Chambers be considered as part of the renovations. Councilman Gregory stated that, as she recalled, this carpeting had been approved previously. Discussion followed. Mr. Mocalis stated this work could be accomplished, and further discussion followed regarding where the funds to accomplish the work would be obtained. Mrs. Helen Gibson, 13268 Francisquito, asked how much money had been saved in 1971-72. Finance Director Duncan replied that a ballpark" figure would be around $20,000.

Mr. Mocalis read a memorandum from the Chief of Police, reviewing such equipment available and indicating the preferred equipment, an Intoximeter Mark II. The Chief of Police requested a waiver of bid and permission to purchase the Intoximeter at a total cost of $2,959.25. Mr. Mocalis indicated that state law required open bidding; however, in this case. since there was only one manufacturer and/or vendor of this equipment, it would be a waste of money to advertise for bids, thus the request for waiver of normal bidding procedure. Mr. Mocalis indicated that this item was financed by the federal grant and there would be no direct cost to the City- COUNCILMAN MC CARON MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE WAIVER OF BID PROCEDURE AND PURCHASE OF AN INTOXIMETER MARK II IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DRUNK DRIVER ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.

CCCJ notified the City that they would need a supplemental grant application, which was sub- mitted by the City in the amount of $15,088. Included in this grant was a list of intelligence equipment, including an automobile for the use of the people who would be running the grant program for the City. The grant proposal for the automobile was $3,500. The Police Department received a price of $3,459.75 for a Dodge Swinger from El Monte Dodge, and a price of $3,450 for a Plymouth Scamp from MacKaig & Sons. Mr. Mocalis explained that the car would be a surveillance vehicle; therefore, it was decided that a car should be purchased which would fit into any area. He recommended that the low bid of MacKaig & Sons be approved and purchase of the car be authorized. Mr. Mocalis stated the money must be expended by June 30, or the grant funds would be lost. COUNCILMAN MC CARON MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A PLYMOUTH SCAMP FROM MAC KAIG & SONS, MONROVIA. AT A COST OF $3.450. COUNCILMAN GREGORY SECONDED. There were no objections. The motion carried and was so ordered. 00- Director of Public Works Perry reviewed his report on the initiation of Short Form 1911 Act Case Nos. 72-S-9, west side of Harlan Avenue between Patm Avenue and Los Angeles Street, for sidewalk and drive approach; 72-S-10, east side of Harlan Avenue between Palm Avenue and Los Angeles Street, for sidewalk and drive approach; 72-S-11, east side of Harlan Avenue between Palm Avenue and Morgan Street, for curb. gutter and drive approach; 72-S-12. south side of Arrow Highway between Maine Avenue and Bleecker Street, for curb, gutter and drive approach; 72-S-13. south side of Arrow Highway between Heintz Street and El ton Street. for curb, gutter, sidewalk and drive approach; 72-S-14, south side of Arrow Highway between Lante Street and Azusa Canyon Road, for curb, gutter and drive approach; and 72-S-15. southwest side of Earl Avenue between Athol Street and Frazier Street, for curb and gutter. Mr. Perry stated that on Cases 72-S-9 and 72-S-10. there was a 60% petition; the other cases would require a 4/5 vote of the Council. He indicated that the three cases on Arrow Highway had been before the Council approximately a year ago, at which time it was reconroended that they be postponed for a year. Mr. Perry further stated that on Cases 72-S-14 and 72-S-15. there were 50% of the improve- ments in. Mr- Perry recomnended that the cases be set for public hearing on June 21, 1972.

Councilman Gregory asked whether gas tax monies could be used on Arrow Highway. Mr. Perry replied they could if the City undertook a total reconstruction project; however, it was felt these were local improvements, and other property owners in the area had been required to make the same type improvements, so that this would be a portion of that work, rather than a City project. Councilman Gregory felt that possibly it would be better to use gas tax monies in this area, because of the border situation with the City of Irwindale. She also questioned the requirement for sidewalks on 72-S-13. Mr. Perry stated this was in error, and only curbs, gutters and drive approaches were being required. Further discussion followed regarding complaints of property owners on Arrow Highway regarding the width of driveway approaches. Councilman Gregory questioned the properties at 15012 and 15006 Arrow Highway, where some improvements exist, but not totally, and yet a building crosses the tine and is in a partially improved area and a partially unimproved area. Mr. Perry suggested holding Case 72-S-13 over until the next meeting for investigation. Councilman McCaron suggested also checking to see whether any dedication is required on a11 the property on Arrow. COUNCILMAN KING WITHDREW HIS MOTION, WITH THE CONSENT OF THE SECOND.

Vandehey.

Before the City Council can act upon the formation of these districts, an Underground Utility Committee must be formed to make a reconmendation to the Council as to the areas of work and the priorities involved in this program. Mr, Perry stated recommendations would be made to the Planning Commission on a 20-year undergrounding program, which will be reviewed by the Comnission and then pre- sented to the City Council. Mr. Perry recommended that he. Planning Director Gordon, Mr. H. L. Perry, of Southern California Edison Company, and Mr. Glenn Baker, of General Telephone Company, be appointed to the Comnittee as an advisory group to the City Council for the formation of these districts.

The motion carried MOTION CARRIED 00- Director of Public Works Perry stated that Robert Crommelin and Associates, Inc. had completed the Areawide TOPICS Study, in which they analyzed the traffic problem areas within the City and had made recommendations for the solution of these problems. Mr. Perry explained that TOPICS was a federally financed program to aid cities, counties and states in improving, adding to and incorporating the latest techniques in the movement of traffic. Mr. Perry introduced Mr. David Konsa, of Cromnelin and Associates, who reviewed the Study and his firm's recommendati ons. Mr. Konsa stated that the purpose of the Study was to develop a priority list of recommended projects that would be eligible for TOPICS funding. He listed the factors con- sidered to determine the list of priorities as 1) accident experience, 2) congestion volixne vs. capacity of the street. 3) delays, and 4) travel speeds. Mr- Konsa projected diagrams via the overhead projector, and indicated various high-accident areas, areas where delays were encountered, etc- Mr. Konsa also pointed out problem locations on the diagrams.

She stated that. in view of recent Court decisions, she felt there would be a better chance by taking action at this time. She commented that she lived in the area where the noise was very much in evidence, and it was difficult at times to even hold normal conversation. She stated she hoped the letter to the Irwindale Council would receive favorable consideration, Councilman McCaron felt the Irwindale Council would be more receptive at this time than they had been in the past. There were no objections to the motion. The motion carried and was so ordered. 00- Planning Director Gordon reviewed his report regarding selection of a consultant for the Business Reconnaissance Study. He stated that of the three firms interviewed, the staff recommended the selection of Development Research Associates, in that it was felt this firm was strongest in the areas of urban land economics, store location analysis and marketing, and these are areas where the staff lacked expertise. COUNCILMAN MC CARON MOVED THAT THE FIRM OF DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH ASSOCIATES BE ENGAGED TO CONDUCT A BUSINESS RECONNAISSANCE STUDY FOR THE AMOUNT OF $4,000 MAXIMUM. AND THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT. COUNCILMAN HAMILTON SECONDED. Councilman King asked whether this study would lead to further study, such as a General Plan. Mr. Gordon felt it might lead to a specific plan, such as a freeway area, rather than a General Plan. Councilman King asked whether this firm likely would be selected to perform any further studies. Mr. Gordon replied it would depend on which area was to be studied; if it were an area in which this firm was strong, they possibly would be selected; however, other firms would be considered also. Councilman King stated his reason for the questions was that a new state law states that cities must implement a General Plan by 1973 and must adhere to this plan, and the firm that was hired now could possibly continue through, and it would mean they would have a firmer base to continue. Councilman King pointed out that Lampman & Associates had done a good job on the Ramona Boulevard project, and he felt their knowledge of the city, etc. might be an asset in working toward a General Plan. Mr. Gordon agreed; however, he stated this was to be not a general study, but a business reconnaissance study, and D.R.A. is strong in the marketing and store location fields. Councilman McCaron stated that at the present time the City has a General Plan, and asked the City Attorney whether any action on it would be just modification. Mr. Flandrick stated he did not feel the City's General Plan would comply in any respect with the current Planning Act, except possibly land use.

City Attorney Flandrick stated that the City's General Plan would require substantial revision in order to comply with present requirements, or else the City must adopt a new General Plan. Mr. Gordon pointed out that at a recent Council meeting the staff, upon a recommendation of the Planning Comnission, presented a report suggesting a modification and updating of the General Plan, including adoption of the various new elements required by the state, and hopefully this would be started this summer.

Councilman Gregory questioned the inclusion of sections other than the specific ones under consideration. Mr. Flandrick indicated the. existing R-3 regulations had been included, as well as those proposed for change, so the Council would have a complete package. Councilman Gregory asked for clarification regarding voting, inasmuch as she had objected to some of the sections individually. City Attorney Flandrick stated that the ordinance was an entire document, and as such, the vote would have to be either yes" or no", or abstention- Councilman King questioned Page 3, regarding carports, and Mr. Gordon stated that, as a matter of policy, when carports are submitted with apartments, the staff will submit the plans to the Planning Commission.

City Attorney Flandrick stated that if an applicant felt he had not been treated fairly by the Planning Director, he had the right of appeal to the Commission and the Council. Councilman King stated that was the point—that the Director was ultimate, unless the applicant appealed. Councilman McCaron felt this was a proper function of the Planning Director, and he could properly handle this type of situation, whether it be Mr. Gordon or a successor. Discussion followed. Councilman McCaron felt that requiring this to go before the Commission would require delays, and the City had been trying to avoid this and expedite matters for developers. Mayor Blewett felt the staff was qualified to do an adequate job, and this would eliminate additional delays for the developers; the ordinance also does provide for an appeal, which he fe.lt was sufficient.

It was the consensus of the Council that this date was accept- able, and Mayor Btewett stated that the meeting would be scheduled for August 30, 1972. JOINT MEETING WITH PLANNING COMM. MEETING TO BE HELD AUGUST 30. 1972 MORGAN PARK COIW. BLDG. 00- Planning Director Gordon reviewed his report regarding the San Gabriel Valley Speedway at 4900 Rivergrade Road. He stated that the Planning Commission had held a hearing on May 24. 1972 to determine if the noise arising from the Speedway was causing a problem to Baldwin Park residents. It was determined that the noise is a serious problem to many areas of Baldwin Park, and the Commission recommended that the City Council take action to reduce or eliminate the noise. Mr. Gordon referred to a sketch indicating the areas from which complaints had been received, and also a list of complainants. He stated that copies of the list and his report had been forwarded to the owners of the Speedway. Mr. Gordon stated the staff recommended that the Irwindate City Council be requested to take action to reduce the noise by either modifying or revoking the conditional use permit. Mayor Blewett asked the City Attorney's opinion. City Attorney Flandrick stated that, in his opinion, the first step would be to direct an appropriate letter to the Irwindate City Coun- cil advising them of the nature of the complaints and requesting that they, pursuant to their zoning regulations, conduct a public hearing to consider either the revocation of the con- ditional use permit or substantial modification of the conditions of approval to establish an acceptable noise level, if that would be possible. Mr. Flandrick referred to a recent Supreme Court opinion involving Santa Monica Airport, wherein noise pollution was held to be subject to abatement as a public nuisance- He stated that should the Speedway be determined to be a public nuisance, there would be a criminal as well as a civil remedy, and the District Attorney's Office could be requested to commence the necessary proceedings to abate the entire operation as a public nuisance. COUNCILMAN MC CARON MOVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECT THE PREPARATION OF AN APPROPRIATE LETTER TO THE IRWINDALE CITY COUNCIL REQUESTING POSSIBLE REVOCATION OR MODIFICATION OF THE SPEEDWAY'S CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND IF FURTHER ACTION IS NECESSARY.
