Mr. Lucio D. Cruz, 225 W. Grandview Drive, addressed Council
and stated that he had investigated the procedure with
regard to the counting of the ballots and that, to his
knowledge, the procedures used in the prior election and
the procedures used in the present election were different.
He noted that his investigation had shown that there were
twenty-one (21) ballots which had been duplicated at the
computer center prior to counting. He further stated that
he would be agreeable to the use of two Recount Boards
consisting of three (3) persons each.
Mr. Donald F. Clark, 947 N. Pasadena Avenue, addressed
Council, requesting that a four (4) person Board be
appointed, with the City Clerk to settle any disputes.
The City Attorney replied that the City Clerk administers
the recount but is not an ex -officio member of the Board.
He further related that the California Elections Code
requires a minimum of four persons counting and that he
suggested five persons in the event that there is a
dispute which might end in a tie vote.
The Council agreed that the three Councilmen not involved
in the election should each name three (3) persons to be
considered for appointment to the Recount Board. Each
Councilman suggested three names, one of which was to be
definitely appointed to the Recount Board, the remainder to
be drawn by lot to fill the other two positions on the Board
and become alternates to be used, if necessary, in numerical
order.
The following three persons were named to the Board:
Mrs. Diana R. Belageri
' Mrs. Dolores Breceda
Mrs. Louese G. Davies
The following persons were drawn by lot:
(a) to fill the remaining two positions:
Mrs. Lucy Gomez
Mrs. Catalina Garcia
(b) as alternates, in order by which they were drawn:
Mrs. Dorothy M. Healey
Mrs. Patricia A. Gray
Mrs. Elaine Nunez
Mrs. Beulah R. Smith
The above names were entered into the proposed Resolution

Board, was a relative of Mr. Cruz. He requested that

Mr. Cruz stated that Mrs. Breceda was -not a relative of
his, but was a relative of his wife. He stated that he had
wanted her on the Board because she was accurate and experi-
enced with counting, and that she was honest. It was then
ascertained by Council that Mrs. Breceda was the sister of
Mr. Cruz's wife. The Mayor replied that it was not a question
of anyone's honesty; it was a question of whether it was good
policy to appoint a relative of one of the candidates as a
member of the Recount Board.
After further discussion; it was the consensus of Council
that Mrs. Dolores Breceda should be dropped and another
person suggested in her place. Councilman Rubio, who had
originally suggested the name of Mrs. Breceda, requested that
Mrs. Elaine Nunez be substituted for Mrs. Breceda as appoint-
ment to the Board. These names were placed into a new pro-
posed Resolution, rescinding Resolution #5710 and appointing
a Special Recounting Board.

The Mayor mentioned a letter he had received from Dr.
N. Snyder of the Hot Line Committee and requested it
be placed on the agenda for the meeting of 5/4/70.
Councilman Rubio inquired about the Avery Label plot
plan, indicating that he felt they were building too
close to the curb.
The Associate Planning Director informed Council that
the construction was well within the legal requirements
and that probably the disappointment felt by Council
was due to the discrepancy between the original
architect's rendering and the actual appearance at this
time. No action by Council.,
Councilman Rubio suggested that the Council's represent-
ative for meeting and conferring with employee units
should be the Personnel Board and that the Council
should meet with the Personnel Board to set up guide-
lines. He also requested that every department prepare
an organizational ch:rt showing positions and names
of employees and, later on, the wages earned by these
employees. No action by Council.
The City Clerk read in full a Resolution authorizing
payment of warrants by the City.
