Mayor Memmesheimer announced that this was the time and Hearing regarding
place for�the continued hearing regarding amending amending of Ord.
Ordinance 409, as amended, and asked if anyone in the #409, as amended, -
audience wished to be heard. City Attorney Tscharner delayed.
stated that he had had a telephone call from an Attorney
in Los Angeles, a Mr. Marshall, who advised that he wished
to be heard on this and he would attend the Council meet-
ing. As Mr. Marshall was not present in the audience at
this time, City Attorney suggested that this matter be
delayed Itntil his arrival.
Mayor Memmesheimer announced that this is the time and
place fixed for the hearing of protests, objections or
appeals,in respect of the street work on Louise Avenue
and other streets under resolution of intention, Resolu-
tion No. 3014, and pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911.
City Clerk presented the Affidavit of Publication, Affida-
vit of Mailing Notice, and Affidavit of Posting Notice.
Moved by Councilman Fawcett, seconded by Councilman
Ortuno and unanimously carried that the Affidavits of
Publication, Mailing and -Posting be approved and filed.
Mayor Memmesheimer asked if any written protests had
been filed.
City Clerk announced that no written protests on this
had'been received by his office.
Mayor Memmesheimer announced "the City Council will
now hear any oral protests, objections or hppeals from
any interested person present in respect of said assess-
ment or street work."
Mr. Earl Woolery of 338 S. Jackson appeared before Council
stating that the first notice he received on this assess-
ment advised that the cost would be $1.25 per foot, and
now he has a bill for $212.00, which would mean the cost

would be around $3.00 per foot, and he felt that this was
out of.reason.. It was brought out in discussion that
former City Engineer Brooks had pro rated this assess-
ment. Oral protests to
Assessment of 1911
The following also appeared before Council to protest: Act Improvements
Salvador Gonzales, 308 S. Louise, Azusa
Miffs. L. Jacobson 424 S. Jackson, Azusa
Mr. H. Johnson, x+52 S. Jackson, Azusa
Mr. Simpson, 302 S. Louise, Azusa
Mr. M. Albaugh, 438 Jackson, Azusa
Mrs. Albaugh, 1047 Broadway, Azusa
Mr. Gonzales stated that he does this kind of work and
therefore would know what it should cost, and he, too,
felt the cost was out of reason. City Engineer pointed
out that Mr. Gonzales had requested a wider driveway
and this would account for some of the extra cost.
Mr. Jacobson also complained about the condition of
the street, saysng that they had finished it off with a
lot of gravel and little oil, consequently there was
always a lot of dust in the air. City Engineer Williamson
explained that this would be just a temporary condition
until after the sewers were installed.
Mr. Albaugh objected to the high cost of the assessment
and asked for an Vxplanation. Mayor Memmesheimer then
read aloud the costs that go to making up a 1911 Act
Assessment, which j nclude legal fees, engineering costs,
etc.
Mr. Albaugh asked about paying the assessment in full and
he was told that within 30 days after the recording of the
Assessment, it could be paid in full, or paid in part and
the balance could go to bond.
All persons having been heard and there being no other
persons present indicating a desire to be heard, Councilman
Ortuno offered the following Resolution:

A bid bond in the amount of 10,% of the bid was enclosed

Moved by Councilman Fawcett, seconded by Councilman
Romero and unanimously carried that the bids for the

City Attorney for study and report to Council.
The committee consisting of Supt. of Light and Water,
City Attorney, City Engineer, and Chairman of Light
and Water submitted their report to Council on the
bids received from three different suppliers on equip-
ment for washing insulators. It was their recommenda-
tion that the City Council reject these bids and purchase
this equipment on the open market as this was a special-
ized piece of equipment and should be examined thoroughly
and the committee be given the power to act.
Moved by Councilman Romero, seconded by Councilman
Fawcett and unanimously carried that the recommendation
of the Committee be accepted, bids be rejected and bid
bonds be returned to all bidders.

The matter of the continued hearing regarding amending
Ordinance #409, as amended, was again brought up before
Council at 8:20 P.M. City Attorney stated he thought
Council had waited a reasonable time for Attorney Marshall
to appear, and as he still was not in the audience, we
should go ahead with the continued hearing. Mayor Memme-
sheimer asked again if anyone in the audience wished to
be heard regarding this. No one in the audience came
forward.
In answer to the statement of ]Attorney Nicklin, submitted
at the meeting of Feb. 28, 1955, City Attorney submitted
the followingreport.
Continued Hearing
on Amending Ord.
#409, as
amended.
"As requested by you, I hereby submit my report in answer
to the statement of Attorney Nicklin made in behalf of Mr.
Lowell Johnson relative to the proceedings on the petition
regarding change of Minimum Lot Size Ordinance from 7,000
to 6,000 square feet and including also the proposed Amend-
ment to Section 4.16 of Ordinance No. 409.
The records in the Planning Commission have recently been
investigated and I find the following condition existing
there as revealed at the last meeting of the Planning
Commission.
The -Ordinance creating the Planning Commission provides
substantially as follows:
" The Planning Commission shall meet on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday each month, provided
that the Commission may by Resolution duly entered
change its meeting dates."
Inquiry at the Secretary's Office at that meeting disclosed
that the Planning Commission had never passed a Resolution
setting a meeting date and that for some years last past
they have not met on Tuesday evening, but that they have
met at times on Wednesday evening and also other evenings
during the week.
Ordinance No. 441 changing the minimum square footage of
lots to 6,000 was passed in February,1952, and Ordinance
No. 467 changing the minimum square footage from 6,000 to
7,000 square foot was in June, 1953. The meetings of the
Planning Commission when :those matters were considered did
not meet at a time provided by the Ordinance nor at a time
fixed by Resolution of the Planning Commission. The date
418
419
CITY HALL AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1955
for hearing on the changes were not fixed by the Planning
Commission but arbitrarily evidently fixed and designated
by the Clerk of the Planning Commission. If that record
is as I have been informed it to be, then there is a
serious doubt from the legal standpoint whether said
Ordinance No. 441 and 467 are legal or whether they have
changed the minimum lot size in the City of Azusa.
Ordinance No. 441 does not set forth the date of the
hearings of the Planning Commission, although I am advised
that the meetings during that year were held on Wednesday.
However; Ordinance No. 467 attempting to change the mini-
mumlProm 6,000 to 7,000 square feet was held, according to
the content of the Ordinance, on Wednesdays. There was
no authority of record for such meeting. Attorneys would
undoubtedly disagree as to the legality or illegality of
such Ordinances.
(Let me point out that both of said Ordinance 441 and 467
were passed not by the present Council, but by a former
Council and at a time when the undersigned was not acting
as City Attorney).
Mr. Nicklin, in his statement before the Council, states
as follows:
"The Court decisions hold that a meeting held without
— compliance where the statutory provisions for
calling the same is no meeting at all and even
hold that actions purportedly taken at such meetings
cannot even be ratified as subsequent valid meetings."
If Mr. Nicklin is right in his contention, then the meetings
of the _City Planning Commission leading up to the adoption
of Ordinance No. 441 and 467 are invalid and any Ordinance
based on the same may be invalid, and there is serious doubt
as to the validity of any Ordinance based upon actions taken
at those meetings. There is, therefore, a very great proba-
bility that said two Ordinances are illegal and that the
City today is operating under the original Ordinance No. 409
with'a minimum provision for lot size of 5,000 square feet.
I have further.examined the record in the Planning Commission
minutes relative to the proceedings leading up to their
recommendation on the proposed Ordinance reducing their
minimum square footage per lot to 6,000 feet. It is true
that there are some irregularities in those proceedings
which may possibly effect their legality. However, I am
inclined to the belief that these irregularities are not
sufficient to effect the legality of their actions.
7:30 P.M.
Our Court, in the case of Bradbeer vs. England, 104 California
Appellate on Page 704 says:
"If per chance the procedure before the Council
lacks some of the formality observed by judicial
tribunals the decision is none the less vital and
effective."
The Council is of a higher order in a judicial line than the
Planning Commission so that such irregularities on the part
of the Planning Commission minutes may be and may not be
vital herein.
I do, however, make an exception relative to the last action
on the part of the]Planning Commission wherein they recommend
that three zone changes be effected. In that regard, I am
convinced that their action was illegal. However, that action
could be corrected by sending the proceedings back to the
Planning Commission for further consideration and report
as provided in Ordinance No. 409. However, due to the
wholly irregular meetings of the Planning Commission leading
420
421
CITY :HALL AZUSA, CALIFORNIA
MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1955 7:30 P.M.
up to the adoption of Ordinance No. 441 and 467 and
purported irregularities in connection with the last step
which has been hereinbefore referred to, it is my recom-
mendation that the whole matter be referred back to the
Planning Commission for study and action and if, in its
judgment, new proceedings are necessary because of the
irregularities in this matter to abandon these proceed-
ings and institute such other and further proceedings as
may be necessary to effect a change to a minimum of 6,000
square foot lot size irrespective of whether we are
presently on a 5,000 or a 7,000 square foot basis."
Mr.'Tscharner also stated that he had discussed this
matter with other attorneys and they differed in their
opinions as to whether or not Ordinances 441 and 467 are
valid,,and that it probably would require a Court action
to test this matter. This would be long and expensive,
so itis for this reason he recommended this matter be
referred back to the]Planning Commission for study and
action. He further stated it was his opinion that it
would be to the advantage of all concerned if new pro-
ceedings were initiated.
City'Attorney read from report of Planning Commission given
him'by Mr.Warren Teasley, Chairman of Planning Commission,
stating that there was a regular monthly meeting held in
the,, -Auditorium at 7:30 P.M. on October 5, 1948, at which
meeting'the Commission agreed to a change in regular meeting
dates. The Ordinance provides that this change can be
legally done by Resolution only, therefore the change
from Tuesday to Wednesday was not legal. If the Planning
Commission desires to make this meeting date change legal,
then they must adopt a like resolution at their first meet-
ing.'
Moved by Councilman Romero, seconded by Councilman
Ortuno and unanimously carried that the recommendation
of the Planning Commission with reference to the change
of lot size from 7,000 to 6,000 sq, ft., and also amend-
ing Section 4,16 of Article 4 of Ordinance 409, be denied,
and that further proceedings in the matter be discontinued.
Moved by Councilman Ortuno, sedonded by Councilman Romero
and unanimously carried that the action of,the Council be
referred to the Planning Commission with a suggestion that
they initiate a new proceedings to amend Ordinance 409,
441' and 467 relative to a minimum lot size from 7,000 sq.
ft, to 6,000 sq, foot per lot.
Councilman Johnson stated that after consideration it
was her opinion that the joint meetings with the Planning
Commission set for every other month, was perhaps of
questionable value.
After discussion of the matter, Councilman Johnson -made Set meetings with
the following motion. Planning Comm. to
Moved by Councilman Johnson, seconded by Councilman be discontinued.
Ortuno and unanimously carried to discontinue set meetings
with Planning Commission.
The Committee consisting of Supt, of Light & Water, City
Engineer, City Attorney, and Chairman of Light & Water
submitted their recommendation for purchase of street
lighting equipment as per bids received from seven companies
which were opened and read at the meeting of February 21,
1955._ It was their recommendation that the bids be
awarded to the following suppliers on certain materials.

requesting that Council terminate their presently Citrus Company
proposed annexation of their land, with the thought request for
that at a later date a larger parcel of their land can termination of
be annexed into the City of Azusa. Mr. D. McKellar, proposed annexation
Secretary and General Manager of Azusa Foothill Citrus larger parcel for
Company, was in the audience and appeared before Council annexation later.
to state the following: "I would be glad to give such
information as Council might wish to have on this. A
series of conversations with Mr. Cherry have been going
on for some time and we have been quite agreeable as you
know for the annexation of this particular tract, but I
had no idea that the proceedings, when it came to annexa-
tion, would not take in the entire property under considera-
tion with the Hadley -Cherry people. The first I knew of
the legal descriptions of the proposed annexation procedure
was when they appeared in the AzusaiHerald.in the last
issue - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - it lacked 182' of
going to the lower boundary of the proposed tract and
some more than that at the North. 'The proposal has no
relationship at all with the lots nor the streets. I
think if the Council would reflect that in view of the
proceedings which have gone on here whereby I felt that
an amicable settlement was agreed with the subdivider for
the annexation of the whole tract, that it gets pretty
difficult. I might ask, how is the Eity going to serve
power to a portion of 182 feet to the south, that would
have to go right through the center of the lots? - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - and that was what we expected
would be done at the time we arrived at these amicable
agreements upon this inclusion of this 74 acres, roughly,
and if it is possible to do, we mean what we say in that
letter, that you can be assured of our company's cooperation
and anything that may be necessary to have this land annexed
in one parcel. If there are any questions, I would be
very glad to answer them."
Councilman Fawcett: "Hadley -Cherry haven't been too
Ah cooperative in the past."
City Attorney: "As I said in my statement earlier,
there is a question as to whether we are under a 5,000
or 7,000 sq. ft. Ordinance. In order to make it definite,
you'd have to have a Court proceedings and test it out.
That would take months to go through. If the Court should
find we are under 5,000 sq, ft., then any tract could be
taken in that has a 6,000 sq, footage. If, on the other
hand, we are under the 7,000 then the tract that would
come �n would have to be a 7,000 sq. ft, tract."
Moved by Councilman Fawcett, seconded by Councilman
Johnson that this letter be filed. Motion failed by the
following vote:
