action at this time, but the proponents must begin
proceedings anew and go through all regular channels.

of'the organization who was in the audience of the
Council's position in this matter.

proposed church directory signs, the estimated cost of
each sign would be $320.00, not including individual
church signs. These signs would be placed at the

of obtaining sewage service, would approximate $750.
If the Council wishes the City to provide the sewer
service, the Engineer recommended a proposition
similar to the following:

at owner's expense.

be split equally between City and property
owner.

Johnson and unanimously carried that this matter be
referred to thelCity Attorney and City Engineer and

The Chamber of Commerce submitted a request for payment

and an unaudited financial report was submitted.

second quarterly payment in the amount of $500.00.
The City Clerk reported that the cost of printing I.D.

cards, laminating at 25¢ each.
Moved by Councilman Ortuno, seconded by Councilman
Romero and unanimously carried that the expenditure
for obtaining employee I.D. cards and processing be
approved.
Moved by Councilman Ortuno, seconded by Councilman
Romero that the City Attorney be instructed to draw
a Resolution requiring all employees turn in any City
property in their possession before a final check
will be issued to them at the termination of their
serivices.
Councilman Ortuno stated that it was his wish that
an Ordinance modeled after Los Angeles County
Ordinance,No. 1567, New Series, be adopted by the
City',of Azusa. This Ordinance would prohibit the
possession of arms unless accompanied by an adult.
Moved by Councilman Ortuno, seconded by Councilman
Romero and unanimously carried that the City Attorney
prepare an Ordinance for the City of Azusa similar to
the Ordinance of the County of Los Angeles No. 1567,
New Series, except Section No. 2 of said Ordinance.
Councilman Romero remarked to Council that he had had
complaints that the street cleaners were not doing
an adequate job. Councilman Fawcett assured him that
steps were being taken to improve the street sweeping
operations.
Coiincilman Romero stated that Mr. Palo of Palo Truck
Company would like to have the City remove the trans-
former bank from their property. The Supt, of Light
and Water was instructed to contact Mr. Palo on this
matter.
A communication was received from Headquarters at Fort
Riley, Kansas, announcing the separation from the
armed forces of Sgt. John Navarette of 809 N. Dalton
Avenue, Azusa.
Moved by Councilman Romero, seconded by Councilman
Ortun6 and duly carried that this communication be
filed.
Communication was received from The American Legion,
Canyon City Post No. 180, 3xhich expressed their desire
to bid on the property at Virginia Avenue which is
to be sold by the City of Azusa. Representatives of
the Legion in the audience were informed that until
such time as the property has been rezoned and
definite plans have been made for the disposing of the
property, the Council could not act at this time.
It was brought to the attention of the City Council
that•the 75 foot lot, assumed to be the property
of the Ditg of Azusa, at Slauson Park is in reality
owned by Joan Cummings Prough of Quartzhill, Calif.
It is apparent that this property was acquired by
Mrs. Prough on a tax deeded sale in 1946 and has been
owned by her continuously since that time. The
apparent error seems to have been in the revision
of Lhe City map at some time.
