Carried by the following vote of the Counc il: Ayes: Councilmen: Nasser, Ortuno, Memmesh eimer, Malone, Jumper. Noes: None Absent: None ' The City Attorney then announced that this was the time and place set for continuing the hearing on the Debt Limit Report for said Project No. 3 at which all protests and objections will be heard. After reading a proposed resolution entitled "Resolution of the City Council of the City of Azusa, California, determin- ing results of hearing; overruling protests; determining that the public interest, con- venience and necessity require certain work or improvement substantially as set forth in report on project filed under the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 and determining that said pi►oject is feasible," the City Attorney asked if there was anyone present who wished to protest, object or be heard concerning the proposed improvement set forth in the Debt Limit Report on Project No. 3. ' Mr. Arthur D. Kloepfer of 135 S. San Gabriel Avenue, Azusa, California, called attention to the request of property owners on Angeleno Avenue that the proposed improve- ment as set forth in the Debt Limit Report for said Project No. 3 be changed by ex- cluding the construction of cement side- wglks on Angeleno Avenue and the substitut- ion of concrete in place of pre -mix pave- ment for driveway aprons. Mr. Weber then asked whether the granting of the request of Angeleno Avenue property owners would necessitate the commencement of new im- provement proceedings by property owners on San Gabriel Avenue. The Mayor called upon Mr. Franklin T. Hamilton of the legal firm of O'Melveny & Myers, Los Angeles, counsel employed by the City for said street improvement pro- ceedings, to answer the question of Mr. Weber. Mr. Hamilton stated that the grant- ing of the request of property owners on Angeleno Avenue would reduce the estimated cost of the improvement as set forth in the Debt Limit Report by more than 10%, and that in view of certain provisions of the Debt Limit Act there was a possibility that new improvement proceedings would have to be commenced if the request of Angeleno Avenue property owners were granted. How- ever, before giving a definite opinion one way or the other, Mr. Hamilton desired further time to investigate the matter. Upon Motion of Councilman Malone, seconded by Councilman Masser and unanimously carried, the hearing on the Debt Limit Report for said Project No. 3 was continued to the regular meeting of the Council at 7:30 P.M., Monday, November 21, 1949. 7:30201 P.M.
