The City Engineer reported that the drainage situation at
Fifth Street and Pasadena Avenue had been investigated and
that in his opinion the situation could be largely remidied
by installing a culvert and catchbasin. This would eliminate
the standing water in the gutters and the dip in the street
but would not take care of the occasional flooding conditions
encountered on Fifth Street during heavy storms. The cost
of the installation would be approximately $1,800.00.
Moved by Councilman Romero, seconded by Councilman Ortuno
and unanimously carried that the City Engineer be authorized
to take immediate action to eliminate the drainage problem
as recommended.
The City Engineer reported that on the study of estimated
cost for developing a heliport site at Fifth and Virginia
Avenue, that the worlc entailed the grading, paving, would
approximate $6i500.00 and in addition the cost for provid-
ing a new street leading into the site would approximate
$6,000.00. The installation of the new street would however
open up certain of the city -owned property to development as
light industrial sites.
Supt. Smith of the Light Dept. stated that the estimated
cost for rerouting the power poles at that location would be
$3,000.00, and that it would be necessary to get the

the necessary easement upon relocating the power poles.
The Council instructed Supt. Smith and the City Engineer
to investigate the possibility of acquiring necessary
easements.
Attorney Willard R. Decker, who was retained to consider
the proposal of the Los Angeles AirwaTs, Inc., and to
negotiate with the Company relative to the heliport at
Fifth and Virginia Avenue, submitted his report of the
proposal. It eras recommended by Attorney Decker:
(1) That Paragraph 4-D of the proposal which requires
the City of Azusa to keep the approach and departure
lanes clear of obstruction, be deleted in view of
the legal complications that would result in the
attempt by the City to control the area surrounding
Citi% -owned property as to height of buildings,
trees, etc.
(2) That the proposal of the Los Angeles Airways be
subject to the obtaining by that Company of site
approval of the Civil Aeronautics Board.
Mr. Decker further reported that at this time it was the
contention of the Los Angeles Airways that it would be more
economical for the City to install the blacktop. It was
pointed out, however, hat further negotiations upon these
lines will be made when the President of the Company returns
to Los Angeles.
Attorney Decker was instructed to obtain clarification on the
matter of keeping the premises of the heliport clear.
