AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1968
The City Administrator gave a report of the Committee on the
investigation re: petition to prohibit Pet -World animal store,
in Foothill Shopping Center, from the keeping of dogs on the
premises, which causes disturbance at night.
A complaint was filed with Police Chief Elkins by one of the
'signers of the petition, which necessitated the forwarding of
the complaint to the District Attorney of Los Angeles County.
The report from the District Attorney stated that prosecution
under Sec. 4112 of the Azusa Municipal Code is not indicated,
due to no showing that the dogs involved are "addicted" to
barking, as well as the obvious defense that such a problem
could and should be anticipated when a pet shop is licensed
to do business at that location.
The City Administrator further stated that the Committee then
reviewed the status regarding suspension due to the nuisance
factor; also, their business license expired 6/30/68 and has
not been renewed and, therefore, they are operating without a
valid license.
The City Attorney said that the Municipal Code provides that a
license can be refused, and the staff could be directed to .
proceed with all necessary steps to revoke the business license
if necessary, unless the owner can prove that he might alleviate
the nuisance by eliminating the number of dogs at the store.
The City Administrator further stated the owner is keeping a
bear on the premises, which might be in violation of the Ordi-
nance, and this will be investigated.
'Moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded by Councilman Decker and
unanimously carried to refer item to the City Attorney, City
Administrator and City Clerk for disposition and alleviating
the nuisance or, if not successful, begin revocation of license
and return matter to Council at 9/3/68 meeting.
The City Clerk gave a report of the Committee regarding the
filling of Electronic Data Processing (EDP) positions. He
read the following opinion of the. City Attorney:
l.. With respect to the request of the City Clerk con-
cerning creation of a classification for electronic
data processing personnel and the method of filling
such positions, it is my opinion that persons now
employed in other departments of the City, or in
the same department, could be appointed to fill such
positions in one of two ways.
2. The first method is by temporary appointment pur-
suant to Sec. 71 of the Personnel Rules and Regu-
lations. This section only reqiiires that minimum
qualifications for the position be met and does
not prevent appointment of a present employee. How-
ever, such appointment can be made only in the absence
' of an appropriate employment list and such list must
be established within 90 days.
3. The other method is pursuant to Sec. 47, paragraph 6,
which allows an employee to act temporarily in a
higher classification, rank or position. This tem-
porary performance of services cannot exceed 90 days,
unless the Council extends it for good cause.

On the grounds of the aforesaid letter and the opinion of the
City Attorney, the City Clerk recommended that Mrs. Anne McKinney,
Senior Utilities Commercial Clerk,be appointed Acting Programmer/
Analyst, Range 29, Step 1, effective 8/19/68; that Mrs. Dorothy
Ferard, Utilities Commercial Clerk, be appointed ActinEDP
Equipment Operator, Range 13, Step 4, effective 8/26/69, at which
date she will return from vacation; that both employees be granted
leave -of -absence without pay from their present positions in
the Light and Water Department for the duration of their act-
ing positions; and that the Personnel Board be directed to
establish an eligibility list for the positions of Programmer/
Analyst and EDP Equipment Operator.
Council requested a report on the progress and cost of the
data process program to date.
(Councilman Calvert entered the meeting at 8:25 p.m.)
After discussion, it was moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded
by Councilman Decker and unanimously carried by roll call
that Mrs. Anne McKinney, Senior Utilities Clerk, be appointed
Acting Programmer/Analyst, Range 29, Step 1, effective
August 19, 1968; that Mrs. Dorothy Ferard, Utilities Commer-
cial Clerk, be appointed Acting EDP Equipment Operator,
Range 13, Step 4, effective August 26, 1968; that both
employees be granted leave -of -absence without pay from their
present positions in the Light and Water Department for the
duration of their acting positions; and that an eligibility
list for the positions of Programmer/Analyst and EDP Equip-
ment Operator be established.
Miss Jacquelyn Ross, of the Azusa City Employees Association,
appeared before Council and drew attention to the use of the
word "transfer" in the letter from Mr. Klarr and Mr. Gerharz,
claiming that the Rules and Regulations'do not permit a trans-
fer in this case.
It was determined by the City Clerk and.the City Attorney
that the use of the word "transfer" in the letter was not to
be considered as the same as is defined by the Rules and
Regulations. The only matter involved is the legality of
appointing a City employee to an acting capacity in another
department.
The City Clerk presented a proposed in-service training pro-
gram to provide equal opportunity for employees to take the
EDP examinations and to provide back-up personnel for the EDP
Department..
Moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded by Councilman Calvert
and unanimously carried that City Clerk be authorized to
proceed with program for training City personnel in data
processing.
Regarding the request by Rev. P. V. Salgado for exempt business
license to operate Neotes Youth Evangelism for The Assembly of
God, Join rehabilitation work with youth, to be located at
120 East 6th Street, the City Clerk reported that the Com-
mittee believes the applicant should be granted an exempt
business license, as the program is a non-profit religious
work as represented by the applicant.
Moved by Councilman Calvert, seconded by Councilman Decker
and unanimously carried to grant an exempt business license,
as requested.

The City Administrator received a request from Gilbert Sawyer, Req.for waiver
1160 Alosta Avenue, Apt. 22 of Trevor Arms North, for waiver of garbage &
of fee for garbage and refuse pick-up, as his income is re- rubbish coll.
stricted because of his blindness. fee,because of
blindness
The City Clerk mentioned he had a complaint from another (denied)
person who lives in the Trevor Arms apartments. It seems
that the Trevor Arms advertises that they pay for all rubbish
collection and for water and that they have contracted with
an independent rubbish collector for pick-up. However, the
tenants are being billed by the City while rubbish is not
being collected by the City but by the Trevor Arms people,
who apparently have contracted with another organization.
Moved by Councilman Cooney, seconded by Councilman Calvert
and unanimously carried that a.letter be written to Mr.
Sawyer, stating there is no way Council can waive the fee
for garbage and rubbish collection, and that the Trevor Arms
apartments be contacted to inquire why they are not avail-
ing themselves of the services of the.City on rubbish col-
lection .
The City Administrator advised Council that two Agreements
Re: Agmts.for
have been received for Mutual Aid Police Cooperation on's,
Mutual Aid
day-to-day plan-- one from Baldwin Park and one from
Police
Monrovia -= setting up a 5 -mile and 10 -mile periphery.
Cooperation
After conferring with the City of Baldwin Park last July,
the City Administrator suggested that (1) the agreement
be referred to the City Attorney as to.legality and form,
and (2),a letter be sent to the Valley Chiefs Association,
requesting they proceed in the same manner as the Fire
Mutual Aid Agreement, by preparing one Mutual Aid Agreement
with various cities, to be signed by the Mayors of all of
the cities which had agreed to join the pact, and after
copies are sent around to the cities for signature (similar
to "round-robin"), each city would be presented with an
original copy with all original signatures.
The Police Chief said he understood that if each City would
send out an agreement to those cities within 5 and 10 mile
areas, they could cover it much quicker, and by having in-
dividual agreements for each city, eventually all cities
will have a separate Agreement with each city.
'Moved.by Councilman Cooney, seconded by Councilman Calvert
and unanimously carried to refer this matter to.the City.
Attorney'as to its legality,and form, and also to the City
Administrator and Police Chief, with a report at the meeting
of September 3, 1968.
The City Administrator reported on the Police Facility Building Report re:
and plans. The Chief of Police has rebeived plans of the Pol.Fac.Bldg.
building and has asked for two weeks' delay on any.action & plans
until he has a chance to look. over the plans and considered
the question on the size of the facility. No action taken
