he hour of 7:30 p.m. being the time set for the continued
ublic hearing on Substandard Structure Case No. 71-6 -
29 N. Azusa Avenue - Marsh, Fairchild & Suman, Inc
(cont. from the 6/21/71 meeting), the Mayor declared the
hearing open.
The City Clerk submitted a report as requested by Council
showing the history of business licenses and utilities
for the present tenant and immediate past tenants of the
building in question. The report showed that the present
tenant, Buxton's Distributing, had the utility account
changed to its name from Granny's Treasures on March 9,
1971. The City Clerk also reported that Buxton's Dis-
tributing had applied for a business license on June`..14,
1971.
Mr. Tom Hildebrand, City Building Inspector, stated that
the premises had been inspected on the exterior on March 29,
1971, as a result of a business license application prior
to that date.
Mr. A. L. Suman, 332 Sturtevant Drive, Sierra Madre,
California, one of the owners of the building addressed
Council asking which had priority, the motion effecting
he policy of vacant building inspection or a Resolution?
he City Attorney explained that the inspection was pur-
suant to the Azusa Municipal Code section requiring such
inspection when a business license has been applied for.
He pointed out that in this case the type of business as
well as the occupancy had changed. Mr. Suman had the City
Clerk read aloud an article from the Stare News, dated
July 1, 1971, which related that the Earthquake Commission
would be recommending to the County Board of Supervisors
some approach to the problem of existing buildings which
are unsafe in the event of earthquakes. On the basis
that he assumed the County would adopt some kind of an
abatement program which would effect all such buildings
throughout the County, he requested Council to declare
a Moratorium on this and all substandard abatement
proceedings and await the action of the County.
No other persons wishing to be heard, and no further
corvnunications having been received, it was
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded -by Councilman. Snyder

tfiesolution was presented, determining and declaring
hat the structure, in question, is unsafe and a public
uisance, and that -the same should be abated within
iriety (90) -days from the date of receipt of the Resolu-
tion by the legal owners.
Councilman Decker offered the Resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
DETERMINING AND DECLARING THAT A CERTAIN STRUCTURE IS
AN UNSAFE BUILDING AND A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND THAT THE
SAME SHOULD BE ABATED.

Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Clark
that the Resolution be adopted. Resolution passed and
adopted by the following vote of Council:
AYES: Councilmen: Rubio, Decker, Snyder, Clark, Solem
NOES: Councilmen: None
BSENT: Councilmen: None and numbered Resolution 5868.
r. Noble F. McKay, member of the firm of Ralph DeSimone &
Associates Inc., representative for the Azusa City
Employee's Association, addressed Council, with regard
to its decision against allowing salary increases for
the new fiscal year. He expressed his feelings that the
Council had abandoned its loyal employees and the Personnel
Board, and that it had not kept good faith in its Meeting
& Conferring sessions, as required by the Milias, Meyers,
Brown Act. He asked the Council to reconsider its action
on salary increases made on June 26, and re -confirmed on
June 28, and asked that the employees'requests be granted
as follows:
1. Overall salary increase for miscellaneous
employees of 72-1%.
2. Employee portion of Social Security paid
by City.
3. 100% of unused sick leave paid to employee
upon retirement, death or termination for
any reason.
4. A merit pay program for employees of long
service.
5. The establishment of the one-half contin-
uance plan optionally available now under
the State Retirement Program.
Walter L. Risse, representative of the IBEW, requested
Council to reconsider its salary action made on June 26
and June 28, because the Meeting & Conferring sessions
results had been accepted by the employees, and the City
had reversed its stand; and the formula which had been
developed.by Urban Associates last year, which was to be
,an on-going bench mark position for the City to determine
raises, had been ignored by the Council.
Mr. Russ Albert, 1209 Canyon View Dr., La Verne, California,
representing the Police & Fire Association addressed Council
and stated that they had been allowed only three meetings
of one hour each with the Personnel Board. The Personnel
Board had offered a 4.8% increase on a "take -it -or -leave -it"
basis and refused to allow further Meeting & Conferring
sessions. He also felt that the Milias, Meyers, Brown
Act had been violated by the City because they had not met
n good faith, because the requests of the past three years
ad not been met by the City.
he City Attorney informed the Council that the Milias,
Meyers, Brown Act does require meeting in good faith and
that this allows for both sides to inform each other of
their demands and their situation. It does not necessitate
that an agreement be reduced to writing, if, indeed, there
is an agreement between both sides. He pointed out that
the: Personnel Board did make a recommendation to Council
as requested by the Rules & Regulations. However, it is
ultimately the decision of Council as to what kind of
salary or related benefits will be established, if any.

AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1971
This decision is based upon the recommendation of the
Personnel Board, the Staff, requests of the Associations
and the general situation that the City finds itself in,
along with any other pertinent data which might affect this
decision. The Council is free to make whatever decision it
feels is warranted.
he Acting City Administrator informed the Council that
here had been an omission from the budget tentatively
dopted by Council at its meeting of May 28, 1971. At
that time the estimated revenues had included $148,000
in grant money from the Federal Government for the con-
struction of a reservoir. Inadvertently the Council had
struck out the balancing $148,000 from the expense portion
of the budget. This had erroneously shown a surplus of
$156,000, to the good, in the budget when it was tentatively
adopted on that date. The- omission had just been found and,
by adding it back into the budget, this makes the surplus
approximately $18,000.
In response to a question by the Council, Accounting
Director Cooney stated that he was not in any position
at this time to estim..ate any kind of unappropriated
surplus from the 1970-71 budget. He pointed out that the
City had budgeted $90,000 into last year's surplus to
balance the 1970-71 budget, which would have allowed a
$70,000 surplus at the end of this year. However, sub-
stantial drops in certain sources of income as well as
the approval of certain capital improvements during the
year has all but eliminated this $70,000. He would not
know exactly where the City stands until after the audit,
hich is presently underway. He stated that two possible
ources of additional revenue might be available in the
ast part of 1971 as follows:
1. An increase in the State Motor Vehicle In -lieu
tax.
2. If the PUC grants Southern California Edison a
rate increase,the City would probably increase
its rate (proportionately).
After further discussion, the Council thanked the gentlemen
who addressed it, and took no further action.
The matter of the use of the Emergency Operating Center
by the Azusa Civil Defense Volunteers was submitted.
Mr.. F. Keith Rathbun, 215 S. Vernon, Azusa, member of
the: Civil Defense Volunteers, addressed Council. He
requested that the City Administrator be instructed to
submit to the Civil Defense Volunteers copies of the
agreement between the City and the Federal Government
showing the proper use of the EOC. The Mayor stated
that the City Attorney has been instructed to go over
the documents on file and submit an opinion on this
fu
tter. He further wished that the contents of the
e!vious letters which the Civil Defense Volunteers had
bmitted to Council be corrected as they contained much
roneous material. He did desire to commend the
volunteers for their services during the recent air tragedy
which occurred close to the City of Azusa.
Mr. Rathbun stated that the volunteers would await the
opinion of the City Attorney.

2653 Sharlinda, Vice President of Admiral Awnings, Inc.,
addressed -Council and gave a brief history of the company

that the City has no plans at present to improve this
street and that such improvements would come only as a
result_of the Precise Plan requirements. He agreed that
bonding could lead to these improvements in the future.
His concern is that some firms take out such bonds and
then later let them lapse, or go out of business.
After further discussion, it was

agreement between the City and Admiral Awnings,Inc, which
would authorize a surety bond in the amount of one-half
times the estimated cost for improvements rather than the
installation of curbs and gutters, at this time, required
y the Precise Plan.
The matter of the limiting of time for the bond and whether
the improvements and the bond become a lien against the
property were to be included with the proposed agreement.
