Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder

As requested by Council, the Director of Public Works
submitted a compilation of data originally used in the
traffic signal study at the subject location, with
attached charts from the traffic count, an intersection
diagram, and a copy of the warrant from the State manual,
all of which indicate that the traffic signals are no
longer needed at that location. Also, the base maintenance
charge, according to the contract with the County Road
Department, is $563 per equivalent full intersection, plus
additional charges for extraordinary maintenance due to
traffic collisions and other mishaps. The anticipated
average full intersection maintenance costs for the
coming year are estimated to be $1,000 per intersection.
The Director of Public Works addressed Council and
stated that if the signals are removed, the components will
be stored in the City Yard and, if needed, could be
'reinstalled by City forces or by contract.
After discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder

of this Troop for a permit for the sale of fireworks this
year, which stated that the Troop is sponsored by the
Edgewood United Methodist Church, 5760 N. Barranca (out-
side City limits), where their meetings are held each
week.
A memo was also submitted by Fire Captain Cordell,
of the Azusa Fire Prevention Bureau, which noted that
the permit was denied as the sponsors are not in the
City limits of the City of Azusa.
John Caldwell, 1311 E. Dalton Avenue, Glendora, appeared
before Council and stated they are appealing this denial
as they feel they are still an Azusa Troop. This is
the first year they have requested such a permit, but
they have been registered as an Azusa Troop for 15 -years.
They hope to have 50 boys within the next three months,
although 19 of the present 24 boys are.attending Azusa
schools. They had 19 registered adults in the troop at
the time of making the request, but informed Council`
they now have 21 registered adults.

concerned citizens, property owners and business
operators, respectfully petition the Board of Directors
of the Azusa Chamber of Commerce as the organization
representing the business and civic leadership of the
community, to recommend that the City Council of the
City of Azusa recognize the need for a Renewal Agency
'to be formed to function for redevelopment action in
the downtown Central Business District of the City of
Azusa, California."
Mr. Tremaine briefly explained the mechanics of the
Redevelopment Agency and the method of financing by
tax increment. He indicated that there would be some
initial costs which would have to be borne by a grant
from some source or a loan, or as out-of-pocket expenses
by the City.
Saul Winokur, 118 E. Foothill Boulevard, addressed Council
and expressed the feeling that the downtown business
people and property owners were in favor of the Redevelop-
ment Program.
The City Attorney informed Council that the first step in
processing a Redevelopment Agency is the adoption of a
Resolution by Council which declares the need for such an
Agency to exist, and at that time the Council should decide
if it wants to serve as the Agency or have a Citizens
Advisory Committee.
After further discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried by roll call to instruct the City
Attorney to prepare a Resolution, with the City Council
to be named as the Agency, and a memo to be submitted by

A recommendation was submitted by the Director of
Public Works for approval of Change Order No. 2, in
the amount of $532 plus tax, to Automation Associates,

assumed there was a wire interconnection between Wells
Nos. 1 and 3 when the system was originally designed,
which called for only one panel and accessories. During
construction, it was found that the interconnector wire
did not exist, and the least expensive method of correcting
this situation is to install an additional panel and
accessories rather than run the additional wire.
