Acting City Engineer Williamson,
City Clerk
Mayor Memmesheimer asked the City Attorney if he now had a
report on the valuations. The City Attorney stated that
if the Government or publicly owned property is included,
then the protest is far below the 50%. It was the opinion
of the City Attorney* that the protest filed by two citizens
of the United States was invalid. The City Attorney further
stated that if a Section of the Government Code involved
could be interpreted so as to exclude publicly owned lands,
and to include only what appears on the Assessment Roll, the
protest figure of $39,510.00 would still be less than evalua-
tions appearing on the assessment rolls, which is in excess
of $80,000.00, The amount in excess of $80,000.00 did
include the pipe lines and easements brought out at the last
meeting by the Duarte Mutual Water Company , when the valua-
tions were being checked, but was included from the protests
since they were not described in the written protests filed.
The City Attorney stated that he would report that there was
not a majority protest. It was recommended by the Attorney
that the City Council make a finding of valuation on Govern-
ment owned property both as to market value and assessed value.
Mr. Shatford, Attorney for the Duarte Mutual Water Company
objected to the exclusion of the valuation of the pipe lines
owned by the Companies he represents from the protest valua-
tions.
Mr. Willard Decker, Attorney for Mr. Fred Heyden and owner of
property within the proposed annexation, appeared before the
City Council and requested that the protest which had been
filed, with conditions attached, not be counted in the protest
valuation. The Council took no action on this request.
Moved by Councilman Fawcett, seconded by Councilman Ortuno
that the City Council find that the value of Government and
publicly owned :property within the annexation area is as
fixed by the report of the appraiser Mr. Bruner, as to its
market value, in his original report, and that its equivalent
assessed value is correctly set forth in the supplemental
letter of Mr. Bruner, except the value of the real estate
without improvements owned1by the City of Azusa is $50.00
as shovm on the last equalized assessment roll. This motion
was passed by the following vote of Council:
AYES: Councilmen: Fawcett, Ortuno, Memmesheimer
