Councilman Johnson was of the opinion that "since the
proposed tract was below the standards set by the
City, annexation at this time should not be considered."
Councilman Johnson submitted the following statement
for the record:
"When I was sworn into office as a Councilman, I took
an oath to uphold the laws of the City of Azusa for
the protection of the people living 1n Azusa and for
the protection of the property rights of taxpayers
inside the City.
These proceedings constitute a tearing down of
the laws I swore to uphold, and are for the sole
benefit of persons and properties outside the:city
of Azusa.
Since I take my oath of office seriously, my
position is simple. Let them annex first, and comply
with our laws, or stay out and do as they please. I
shall vote against this Mdeal" if it reaches the
Council table."
Mayor Memmesheimer stated that although the Council
