A memo was received from the Associate Planning Director,
requesting temporary employment of a Cal Poly student in
the Planning Department for compilation of data submitted
as a result of the study of the downtown area. Mr.
Valdis•V. Pavlovskis has indicated that he would be
interested in a project at (,his time; however, his time,
for the next two weeks would be limited to 10-12 hours
per week, due to classes and finals, but upon completion
of finals he would be able to work full time. It is
estimated that this project would require 2 to 4 weeks of
full time employment.
In the memo, it was suggested that the student be paid
$3.156 per hour, but funds are not available in the
Planning Department budget for the hiring of an additional
person on this basis.
Moved by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried by roll call to approve the com-
pilation of the Cal Poly downtown study report, using
temporary employment of a student, with expenditures
authorized not to exceed $500.
The Acting City Administrator submitted his report of the
structural condition of three buildings in the downtown
area, located at 116 West Foothill Blvd., 723 North Azusa
Avenue, and 738 North Azusa Avenue. It was recommended by
the Acting City Administrator that proceedings be com-
menced re: Substandard Structure Abatement Program.
Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Clark
and unanimously carried that hearings with respect to
these matters be set at the earliest date.
Plans and specifications were submitted by the Acting
City Administrator for the modification and remodeling
of the former Fire Station, Light and Water Office, and
Police Station, for a Public Works Facility (Project
487), with request for bid call.
The plans showed a utilization of the old Fire Depart-
ment, Light and Water Department, and jail area por-
tions of the City Hall complex for use by the Public
Works, Engineering, and Planning Departments. The
amount of $56,000 is presently allocated in the current
budget for the renovation of this area.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to approve the plans and specifi-
cations and to authorize the City Clerk to advertise for
bids.
A report was submitted by the Acting City Engineer with
recommendation for assignment of funds for the area wide
TOPICS program. The TOPICS program is the Traffic
Operations Program to Increase Capacity and Safety, and
is federally financed and administered by the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads and the California Division of
Highways. The City receives an apportionment of the
Federal Funds based on an equation using population,
road mileage, traffic accident histories, and motor vehicle
registrations.
According to the report, the City has been apportioned
$25,670 for the fiscal year 1969-70, and $28,689 for the
fiscal year 1970-1971. The total apportionment to date
is $54,359•

It was the recommendation of the Acting City Administrator
and the Acting City Engineer that this City was not in a
position to fulfill the requirements set forth by this
program in order to receive the funds. According to the
Act governing this program, the City may assign these
funds. It was felt that the City should assign these
funds to the County of Los Angeles and that, through the
County Aid to Cities program, the City would benefit from
the monies in an indirect manner. It would be necessary
for the City to request the County of Los Angeles to
accept this assignment by Resolution.
A Resolution was presented, assigning funds from the
TOPICS program to the County Road Department, being all
of its fiscal years 1969-70 and 1970-71 share of the funds,
and requesting that the County Board of Supervisors adopt
a resolution accepting these funds prior to June 30, 1970.
Councilman Clark offered the Resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
ASSIGNING FUNDS FROM THE TOPICS PROGRAM.
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried that further reading be waived.

AYES: Councilmen: Rubio, Decker, Snyder, Clark, Solem
NOES: Councilmen: None
ABSENT: Councilmen: None and numbered Resolution 5737.
A report was received from the Acting City Engineer
regarding weed abatement posting at 120 South Virginia
Avenue . After investigation of the subject property, as
requested by Council at its 5/18/70 meeting when the owner,
Mr. Walter Korba, appeared in protest to the posting of his
property, it was reported that the lot is extremely deep
and the rear one-half is covered with high weeds. At the
time of the investigation, the owner was in the process of
clearing the weeds, and approximately one-third of the
weeded area remained uncleared.
The report further stated that, in a discussion with the
property owner, it was learned that the owner simply
wanted to remove the weeds himself rather than have the
City do the work. It was explained to him that he could
do the work and that the City would follow up with an
inspection after completion of the work, which was satis-
factory to the owner.
Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Clark
and unanimously carried to file the report.
The Acting City Administrator presented a request from
the Director of Utilities for approval and confirmation
of the temporary appointments of the following four
Electric Department employees,effective 6/1/70, due to
the vacancy created by the passing of George Adams:
Wm. Hastings, Elec.Line Foreman, to Actg.Util. Estimator
F. Thompson, Service Foreman, to Acting Elec. Line Foreman
S. Hosford, Working Line Foreman,to Acting Elec.Serv.Foreman

A supplemental report was submitted by the Acting City
Administrator regarding Council consideration of types
of reservoir for Pressure Zone II, with comparison of
structural material cost, and recommendation that Molina
Engineering Consultants, Inc., be awarded the contract
for the preparation of plans and specifications.
Presently the construction of this reservoir depends
upon a Federal grant which is in the process of applica-
tion. It was felt that approval of an engineering
contract would facilitate the purchase of just what land
is necessary for the reservoir and would accelerate the
construction time, if and when the Federal grant is
approved.
After discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Clark
and unanimously carried that Molina Engineering Consul-
tants be awarded the contract for the preparation of plans
and specifications for a steel reservoir.
A request was received from Sierra Screw Products,
415 South Motor Avenue, that the City provide street

It was recommended by the Acting City Administrator
that this request be studied by a committee made up of
the Acting City Engineer, Director of Utilities, and
Acting City Administrator, for a study and report to
Council.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried to approve the recommendation to
refer this request to the Acting City Engineer, Director
Of Utilities, and Acting City Administrator, for study
and report to Council.
The Acting City Admtnistrator submitted to Council the
Possibility of the old Police Building front offices
being occupied and used by the Chamber of Commerce for
larger offices.
Mr. James Arkison, president of the Chamber of Commerce,
addressed Council, stating that the Chamber hoped it
could "go on its own" by building, buying, or leasing
its own building rather than having to accept the gift
of space from the City. He felt that the Chamber would
be happy to use the space provided in the old Police
Building temporarily for a two-year maximum period of
time, and thus give impetus to the Chamber to find their
own building.
