A letter was received from Mrs. A. B. Meier, 1135 N.
Orange'Avertue, requesting that the City construct a
concrete block wall at the rear property line of her
lots, a distance of 120 feet, which is located next to
the parking area at Northside Park. Discussion was held
on'thIs matter, and it was the feeling of Council that
the section of the Zoning Ordinance which requires a
fence -next to a parking area would not apply in this
situation: The reasons given were that the parking lot
,was set back from the property line, and that there were
plantings between the property line and the parking area.
Moved by Councilman Ortuno, seconded by Councilman
Teasley, and unanimously carried that the request be denied
and that Mrs. Meier be advised of Council's decision.
The Chief of Police requested authorization to appoint
a patrolman from the current eligibility list as of

of Police be granted.
It was recommended by the Chief of Police that officers
working special events while off-duty, such as dances,
fiestas, etc., be detailed by the Department to cover
the event so that they would be protected in event of
injury. Under this plan, the sponsoring organization
would deposit with the office of the City Clerk sufficient
money to cover the officers' regular pay rate, and he in
turn'•would be paid by the City rather than directly from
the organization, as in the past. The Chief of Police
would advise the City Clerk's office as to the amount of
deposit required.
Moved by Councilman Ortuno, seconded by Councilman Paul,
and ordered carried that the recommendation of the Chief
of Police,be accepted.
Councilman Ortuno stated ;that he felt some restrictions
should be placed on the number of dance permits allowed,
stating that he felt there had been too many so-called
"charity" dances.

ings'"to date, $35,514.60; or a total of $1,071,913.36.
Moved by Councilman Teasley, seconded by Councilman Paul
and_'ordered carried that the report be filed.
Notice was given that the Coast to Coast Studios of
Hollywood had requested permission for a business
"license for the purpose of solicitation in the City

A request was made by P. F. Collier & Sons, Encyclopedia
Sales, for -a license to solicit in the City. Investiga-
tion showed this to be a reputable concern.
Moved by Councilman Paul, seconded by Councilman Teasley,
and ordered carried that the request be granted.
A report was submitted to the Council by the committee
selected to make a survey of the salaries of the City
employees. After further study, it was the concensus
of the committee that their previous recommendation was
valid at this time.
