Re: Azusa Health Center
Wesley Kloepfer, in the course of writing his book on the history
of Azusa, advised me today of a hitherto unknown fact concerning
the Azusa Health Center ---which, by the way, is one of the ones
scheduled to be closed by the County, as part of its cost-cutting
program.
Resolution 1277, dated 12/8/31, attached, in summary, is an
agreement delineating the terms under which the Clinic is to be
operated:
The Vosburg Estate entered into an agreement with Los Angeles
County, to have it operate the Clinic.
If the County fails, at any time, to continue the operation,
then the Clinic, including all the property, and
appurtenances, would be taken over by the City, for operation.
If, at any time, the City cannot maintain or continue its
operation, then the whole thing would revert the Vosburg
heirs.
In light of the County's intentions, this should be looked into,
for future consideration, vis-a-vis the City's position in the
matter.
