pool and the original dwelling, but not for the addition
to the rear of the dwelling. The Planning Commission was
concerned that additional dwelling floor area was being
requested without providing any covered parking and, since
there is adequate room to construct an attached two -car garage
and to provide adequate access thereto, recommended that
the request for a Variance be denied.
'Bob Delaney, 17125 San Bernardino Road, Covina, a brother
of the owner of the property, addressed Council and stated
that the addition of a garage would disrupt the view from
the den to the pool. This view is an asset and enhances
the resale value of the home. He noted that no garage now
exists, and claimed that to build a two -car garage would
take away 4 feet of the pool area. He stated that his
brother has owned the property for approximately two months
and needs the Variance in order to get the necessary build-
ing permit for the den which existed at the time the house
was bought, so the house can be resold.
There being no further communications received and no one
else in the audience wishing to speak regarding this matter,
it was

The City Attorney submitted a report regarding the retro-
active pay for employees who did not receive scheduled

Further investigation on the cost of laminating has shown
that a local business will do the laminating for the cost
of materials, which will be approximately 25¢ per card,
rather than the $1.00 per card noted in the memo. Because
this firm is close by and the cost is so nominal, the
City would not need to purchase its own laminating machine.

and unanimously carried to approve, as a policy, the
issuance of identification cards to City employees and
members of Boards & Commissions, which card shall be
returned when the person is no longer affiliated with
the City.
The Director of Public Works submitted for Council
consideration a traffic study in the Southeast section

the establishment of the following stop and yield inter-
sections:

A memo was received from the Director of Public Works
regarding the acquisition of the reservoir site from
Monrovia Nursery Co., stating the development of the
reservoir site would be less cumbersome if the site
were annexed to the City. The Director of Public Works
recommended that the City Council approve the annexation
(Northerly Annexation District No. 72)(Uninhabited),
and refer it to the Planning Commission so that we may
proceed with the required legal procedure as soon as
possible.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to approve that the City -owned
reservoir site, not in the City limits, should be annexed
to the City, and authorize the initiation of proceedings
for said annexation.
The Director of Public Works submitted to Council for
their consideration a memo re: Channelization of Inter-
section of Third Street and Vernon Avenue. The Aerojet
Electro Systems Company will be closing its employee
parking lots on the west end of their facility around
the first of March. After this time, all employees will
be parking on the east side of the facility and will be
entering mainly through Third Street. It was his recom-
mendation to change the channelization on Third Street
and the creation of a stop at the intersection of Vernon
Avenue and the west bound off -ramp is proposed.
