The Minutes of the regular meeting of July 22, '19691
and the adjourned meeting of August 4, 1969, were
presented.
City Attorney Terzian submitted a letter, requesting
two corrections in the Minutes of July 22:
(1) Onppage 6, the second paragraph consisting
of 6 lines should be deleted and the follow-
ing wording substituted: "The City Attorney
stated that the Government Code required a
claim for personal injury to be filed,within
100 days after the accident. He further
stated that it was possible to apply for
leave to present a,late claim, if such appli-
cation was made within a reasonable time, but
in no case longer than 1 year after the
accident. He pointed out that this particu-
lar application had been filed with the -City
only 1 day before the I year maximum time
limit expired, andthat in his opinion no
facts had been presented to justify the
lapse of time. He;recommended that the
application for leave to present a late
claim be denied." ? i
i
(2) On page 6, in the tird paragraph consisting of
5 lines, the words "as allowed" in the 4th
line should be del6ted and the phrase "as
stated by the City Attorney and as required"
be substituted. Thus the 4th and 5th'lines
of the 3rd paragraph should read in full as
follows: "reasonable period of time as stated
by the City Attorney and as required by State
law and, therefore, be denied.
The Minutes of the adjourned meeting of August 4, 1969,

A report was received from City Attorney Terzian regarding
Conflict of Interest Legislation (A. B. 325), stating the
Bill was sent to the Governor for signature. This law adds
certain provisions to the Government Code which require
public officers to disclose individual investments in excess
of $10,000; public officers would include all members of the
City Council and Planning Commission as well as the top level
administrative officers. However, this is not an urgency
measure and, if it is signed into law, it will not be effective
until some time in November. The Bill will be analyzed in
more detail if signed by the Governor, and the City Attorney
will submit a further report to Council.
A report was received from City Attorney Terzian regarding
regulation of Bottomless and Topless waitresses and enter-
tainers (Municipal Regulation of Nude Entertainment -
A.B.524) which also has been sent to the Governor for sig-
nature. In effect, the new law would restore to cities the
power to adopt an Ordinance regulating nude entertainment;
this power was destroyed by certain California Supreme Court
decisions in the past few years. The president of the League
of California Cities has authorized a Committee of Attorneys,
of which Acting City Attorney Wakefield is a member, to prepare
a model Ordinance.

in which it is to be accomplished, as well as the source of funds

(C.Atty. to

Acting City Attorney Wakefield stated the Constitutional
Bd. mtg. on
Amendment requires payment to the City within the year in
9/4/69
which the loan is made. The Library Board could set up a
reserve fund for capital outlays, or the City can simply,
out of its General Funds, grant to the Board of Library
Trustees a sufficient amount to meet a particular amount of
capital expenditures. However, repayment over a period of
years presents some legal complications. The Library Board
cannot encumber future years',revenue, and it boils down to
the problem of having to levy within the revenue provided.
Councilman Cooney suggested that this could be accomplished
for the next five years by reducing the Library Budget from
30 to 28 mills.
Chairman Wilkinson of the Library Board of Trustees addressed
Council, stating their next Board Meeting will be on 9/4/69,
and he is sure they can have further answers by that time;
also, if the Board could repay the loan within the year, they
would not have to borrow it. He further stated the Board
ould appreciate the City Attorney being present at their
ext Board meeting, if possible.
oved by Councilman Calvert, seconded by Councilman Cooney
and unanimously carried to ask that the City Attorney meet
with the Library Board at their next meeting on 9/4/69 at
7:30 pym.
A report was submitted by the Special Police Study Committee, Report
signed by Chairman Cooney, regarding their meeting on 8/11/69 fr. Spec.
to discuss improving the public relations of the Police Depart- Police Study
ment. According to the report, various methods and procedures Com.
for improving public relations were discussed in depth, with
the unanimous decision being that a member of the Police Depart-
ment, preferably with the rank of Sergeant or higher, be admin-
istratively assigned by the Police Chief to the function of
"Community Relations Officer".
The Committee recommended that the Police Department's Per-
sonnel Complement be amended to provide for one additional
"Sergeant" position to put the program into effect, with the
further recommendation that, if additional funds are available,
the Police Department Budget be amended to maintain the present
number of Police Officers.
