V Mayor
I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was duly
adopted by the City Council of the City of Azusa at a regular
adjourned meeting thereof, held on the 29th day of June, 1976, by
the following vote of the Council:
AYES: Councilmen: Decker, Fry, Cruz, Arkison, Solem
NOES: Councilmen: None
ABSENT: Councilmen: None
City Clerk
TO: City Council
FROM: Planning Commission
DATE: June 28th, 1976
SUBJECT: Resolution relative to the roll of the East San Gabriel Valley
Planning Committee in update of the L.A. County General Plan.
The East San Gabriel Valley Planning Committee, of which Azusa is a member,
was established in 1954 to, among other things, coordinate plans with the
Regional Planning Commission and advise the comprehensive long-range general
plans of the cities and unincorporated territory within the East San Gabriel
Valley area.
Los Angeles County is presently in the process of preparing and updating the
County -wide General Plan. As a part of the work program for the update, on
October 21st, 1975, the County adopted the policy that the cities would par-
ticipate in the review process through the established area planning councils
and the Los Angeles Association of Planning Officials.
The attached Resolution requests that the Board of Supervisors reaffirm that
the East San Gabriel Valley Planning Committee is the area planning council
and the agency with the responsibility for initiating recommendations for
development and reviewing the proposed L.A. County General Plan as it pertains
to the East San Gabriel Valley.
Since the entire East San Gabriel Valley has been placed to local ''spheres of
influence'', and will ultimately be annexed to the local communities, it is felt
that the local jurisdictions should have direct input for development of the
County's General Plan for this area.
This matter was considered by the Planning Commission during their regular
meeting of June 23rd and it is their recommendation that the City Council
adopt the attached Resolution and forward same to the City of Covina Planning
Department with a cover letter signed by the Mayor, reaffirming our support of
the East San Gabriel Valley Planning Committee as spokepersons for the East San
Gabriel Valley.

June 16, 1976
At the final meeting of the E.S.G.V.P.C. for the 1975-76 year, held on
Thursday, May 27, 1976, a resolution was introduced by the Planning
Directors' Subcommittee urging the committee to present the resolution
to their respective City Councils and asking the Councils' support on the
resolution. The resolution, which is attached, states that the cities should
have direct input into the County General Plan and that the City Councils
reaffirm their support to the effect that the E.S.G.V.P.C. acts as spokes-
person for the East San Gabriel Valley.
We ask that the resolutions be sent to the City of Covina Planning Department,
with a cover letter from the appropriate mayor, asking that Chairman Bob
Fryke send the resolutions, together,as a show of support to the five members
of the Board of Supervisors and the County Planning Director.
Because of time constraints, it is hoped that the resolutions will be forth-
coming by June 29, 1976.
Sincerely,
Robert Fryke
Chairman
