A memo was received from the Planning Commission, which
stated that considerable concern was expressed over the
possibility of this type of use immediately adjacent to
the existing apartment development to the west; that
different methods of reducing or limiting the nuisance
that might result to the neighboring residents were
discussed; including noise barriers, screening,,hours of
operation, etc.; and that it is the opinion of the Plan-
ning Commission that this type of use is not a proper use
for this zone, especially at this location.
No one being present to represent the applicant, it was
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to table this item until later

The Commission also felt that if a Variance, as' requested,
was granted, the property would still be zoned C-3
(General Commercial) and the City would not have the control
necessary to prevent mixed development (commercial and
residential) on the property in question. It was the opinion
of the Planning Commission that a zone change would be the
proper method whereby the applicant could develop the
property as he proposes, and the control of mixed develop-
ment could still be maintained by the City. At the same
time, however, no indication was given as to how favorable
their recommendation for a zone change might be.
Glenn B. Soelberg, attorney, appeared on behalf of Kathryn
Soelberg, the applicant. He stated he intended to build an
apartment complex on the south 310' of the subject property,
while keeping the northern portion for commercial develop-
ment, and was not aware of the requirement to submit maps
or drawings to the Planning Commission for their considera-
tion. Further, he needed the granting of this Variance so
that lending institutions would give him financing. He
requested that the Variance be granted without conditions,
on the basis of the general idea rather than upon any
concrete proposal. He stated that he had been related to
the City and a land -owner in the City for a number of years,
that he was going to be present for some time, and requested
the Council to have some trust in what he wanted to do
was for the good of the community. He claimed that if he
were given the Variance he wished to have, he would be
able to go to lenders and receive financing, and would be
able to get the necessary drawings and develop the plans
on this basis.
Mrs. Charles Rupert, 6262 Calera Avenue, addressed Council
and declared that there were a great number of apartments
in the area and she felt that additional apartments would
be to the City's disadvantage, particularly with the in-
crease of traffic, demand on,fire services, etc.
Mr. Charles Rupert, 6262 Calera Avenue, appeared before
Council and referred to East Hollyvale Street, adjacent
to the present apartments, which is constantly dirty and
debris strewn because cars are parked there all hours of
day and night, and there is no way for the streetsweeper
to clean. He requested that', if a Variance were granted,
there must be something done regarding street openings in
the proposed area to prevent a repeat of such littering
and debris.
Kenneth McCutcheon, 6256 Calera Avenue, appeared before
Council and reiterated the number of apartments in the
area, and pointed out that the Azusa Pacific College is
increasing the number of dormitories which would increase
traffic congestion in the area. He felt that if Council
were to grant such a Variance and accede to the wishes of
the applicant, it would be setting a dangerous precedent.
After further discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to refer this matter back to the
Planning Commission for further consideration to be based
upon a plot plan to be submitted by the applicant, Kathryn
Soelberg.
The recommendation from the Personnel Board regarding
amendment of certain positions and salaries in the Table
of Organization, with certain new job specifications,
having been continued from the 7/20/70 meeting, was again
considered by Council.

AZUSA AUDITORIUM
AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1970
As requested, the City Administrator submitted a•review
of salaries for Department Heads considering reorganization,
recommending fair and reasonable salary differentials
between several Department Heads. The new reorganization
recommendations should take into account that the Superin-
tendent of Light and Power has less duties than the former
Superintendent of Light, Water and Power; whereas the
Recreation Director has increased duties due to the addition
of Parks; the Director of Public Works has lost the respon-
sibility of the Parks, but has picked up the responsibility
of the Water Department. However, the City Engineer has
increased duties over and above the former Assistant City
Engineer position, thereby reducing the responsibility of
the Director of Public Works; and Central Garage duties
have been transferred to the City Administrator's office
from Public Works.
It was recommended by the City Administrator that the
following salary ranges be adopted:
Director of Public Works
Superintendent of Light
and Power
Park and Recreation
Director
Range 132.0 (1st Step)
Range 130.5 (5th Step)
Range 130.0 (5th Step)
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Decker and
unanimously carried by roll call to accept the recommenda-
tion of the City Administrator re: salary ranges for Director
of Public Works, Superintendent of Light and Power, and
Park and Recreation Director, as submitted.
After discussion re: new qualifications and job specifi-
cations, it was
Moved by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Clark
and unanimously carried to accept the new job specifications
for Director of Public Works, Superintendent of Light and
Power, Park and Recreation Director, and City Engineer,
except to request review and recommendation by the Person-
nel Board of two items in the qualifications of Superin-
tendent of Light and Power, i.e., increase schooling
from high school graduation to equivalent of A.A. degree,
and increase experience from 5 years to 8 years of pro-
gressively responsible administrative and supervisory
experience in the operation of an electric utility system.
The matter of the Civil Defense Director was discussed
and no action taken by Council. The present organizational
structure remains with regard to this matter. The Mayor
suggested the possibility of the Assistant Civil Defense
Director maintaining an additional office in the City Hall
area rather than in the E.O.C. for daily activity.
An invitation to attend the 12th Annual Town Affiliation
Convention at San Diego, August 26 thru 29, 1970, with
registration at $35 each, having been continued from
5/18/70 meeting, was again considered by Council.
Councilman Rubio reported that the Sister City Committee
recommended joining the Town Affiliation Association,
and a confirming letter will be sent to Council.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried by roll call to approve joining
the Town Affiliation Association, with payment of annual
dues of $100 authorized.

The appointment of a new City Attorney, having been
tabled from the 6/29/70 meeting, was again considered
by Council.
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried to lift from the table.
City Attorney Terzian indicated that this is a matter of
reorganization within his firm, that he is being detailed
to other duties which would make it more difficult for
him to serve the City, and he recommended the City
appoint George Wakefield who is already serving the City
of West Covina as City Attorney. Mr. Wakefield would
continue the same level of service that is presently
being offered to the City at the same fee.
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried to accept the appointment of
George Wakefield as City Attorney, and to request the
preparation of the necessary Resolution to be presented

The City Administrator presented a recommended change of
policy whereby, in areas around schools with a'high
incident of schoolchildren pedestrian traffic where there
is no sidewalk, the City would install sidewalks and charge
adjacent property owners only for the cost of materials.
The cost of labor would be assumed by the City.' He listed
several areas already known to need sidewalks where prior
attempts, using Special Assessment District tedhniques,
had been refused by the property owners. He felt this
new policy would allow the sidewalks to be built without
the amount of opposition that the property owners had
presented in the past. The sidewalks, their location,
and length would be designated on a map prepared jointly
by the Chief of Police and Acting City Engineer, and
approved by Council. He did not have such a map to
present at this time.

ject to approval of specific areas.
