a distance from the motel units themselves. David Hermanson,

The City Clerk presented the affidavit of proof of publi-
cation of the notice of this hearing in the Azusa Herald
on 7/5/73.
Thomas Clifford Tucker, business address1100 Hollyvale
Avenue, Architect for, and representing Aerojet Credit
Union, addressed Council. He handed out a drawing of
the proposed site plan. He explained that there are
residences to the east and to the north of the proposed
site, with Aerojet Electro -Systems to the west. He
pointed out that the Aerojet Credit Union serves only
Aerojet employees, it's located on property owned by the
Credit Union, and will have no need for large identifying
signs. He pointed out that there were more parking
places proposed than what the Code requires, and that the
general design of the structure was to fit in with the
residential area around it.
Ralph Fitzsimmons, Associate Planning Director, explained
that the Credit Union could operate in a C zone, however,
the Planning Commission felt that an M-2 zone would be a
logical extension of the already existing M-2 zone to the
west, rather than re -zoning the property into a "spot
zoning" of a commercial nature. The M-2 zone would allow
the use of the Credit Union, and appeared to be the best
planning.
No one else wishing to appear, and no further communica-
tions having been received, it was
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to close the hearing.
' Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried by roll call to approve the
recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Councilman Clark offered for introductory first reading
an Ordinance entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
AMENDING THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE AND RECOMMENDING A
ZONE CHANGE ( Case Z-173 Aerojet Credit Union).
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried by roll call that further reading
be waived. `
The matter of the six claims against the City re: sewer
back-up, tabled from the July 2, 1973 meeting, was
presented.
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried to remove from the table.
A report was submitted from the Director of Public Works
in which he proposed a new construction of a relief line
that would help prevent sewer back-ups in the future.
Director of Public Works Wells addressed Council and
explained that he proposed a system which has never been
tried before. Because the sewer line is at such a flat
angle he proposed to construct a relief line that would
enter the upper manhole at a level just below the level
of the houses. This relief line would flow at a greater
angle down to the lower manhole. The purpose of this
would be when the regular sewer plugged up the effluent
would back-up in the upper manhole. Instead of backing
up into the houses, it would go down the relief line and
empty into the lower manhole. This plan would prevent
Page 2
Claims vs
City for
sewer back-
up
AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, JULY 16, 1973 Page 3
the sewer back-up from going into the houses, but would
necessitate a weekly check by City forces, to prevent the
upper manhole from becoming a septic tank and a health
hazard. He felt that would solve the problem as the
previous areas of sewer back-up had been restricted to
just this one length of sewer.
Mrs. Kay Gordon, 529 E. Duell Street, addressed Council
and asked if the proposal of the Director of Public
Works doesn't work, what happens then? Discussion was
held Re: the alternative of the people on Duell Street
going back on septic tanks.
Mr. Leonard Tyko, 916 Citrus Edge, addressed Council
regarding his claims against the City, and communications
which he had sent relative to them. He was informeH that
the City Administrator will check further with the Insur-
ance Company concerning these claims.
Moved by Councilman Decker and seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to approve the proposal of the
Director of Public Works and authorize the Public Works
Department to proceed with the installation as soon as
possible.
The City Attorney noted that there had been probable
liability against the City and recommended that the City
refer the claims to the Insurance Company.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to refer the matter of the 6
claims to the insurance carrier.
' The matter of the extension of the contract between the Recomm.that
City and the Southern California Edison Company for whole- contract
sale electricity, tabled from the July 2, 1973 meeting, bet.S.C.E.
was presented. & Cty. be
modified
Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Decker
and unanimously carried to remove from the table.
The City Administrator submitted a memo suggesting two
changes in the contract as follows:
1) That theperiod for the notice of termination of
the contract be shortened to 12 months (from
36 months).
2) That the contract expressly provide that Edison
will, during the term of the agreement, make
available to the City those services specified
in Article 3 of the Settlement Agreement between
Edison and the City dated August 4, 1972.
He recommended that he be directed to rewrite the contract
to include the 2 changes and submit to Southern California
Edison Company for their approval.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Clark
and unanimously carried by roll call to approve the
recommendation.
The matter of remodeling the City Hall center building Remodeling of
was raised. Each Councilman stated his feelings on the City Hall Center
matter. Building
Councilman Snyder felt the Council could continue to meet
in the Auditorium, but that the center building should be
replaced with construction of similar motif and equal
beauty. He felt the City should get professional advice
on this matter.

Councilman Clark agreed with Councilman Snyder basically.
He felt the Auditorium should be modified to make it better
for the Council and stage productions. He felt there was a
need for greater space in the center building.
Councilman Rubio felt the Auditorium should rP left as an
Auditorium. The center building should be left alone, -and
a new building should be built north of the auditorium,
containing a small council chamber and offices for the City
Administrator and City Clerk.
Councilman Decker questioned the historical value of the
center building. He stated he wanted the public opinion
or this matter. He also felt someone should inspect the
center building and make a report on its structural condition.
Mayor Solem felt the appearance of the center building should
be maintained. A new building could be built which would
accomplish this, and also provide a small meeting room which
could hold certain meetings of the Council, and be used by
other groups.
Eleanor Allen, 901 N. San Gabriel Avenue, addressed Council
as, Legislative Chairman of the Womans Clubs and claimed there
would have been more persons present if the people had heard
about this matter coming before Council this evening. She
asked that the matter be postponed to another meeting. She
suggested that the center building be left intact and that
the City build an entirely separate City Hall on property
across Dalton Street to the east. The center building could
become a cultural center and the new City Hall would be next
to a parking lot. She :autioned Council to plan for an
adequate building for 53 years, and not just for the immediate
need.
Art Morales, 337 N. Soldano Avenue, appeared before Council
and also urged that the matter be postponed and more publicity
be given to it. He suggested that spokesmen from different
groups meet with representatives of the City, so that they
would be aware of what was proposed and could reflect the
thinking of their groups.
Page 4
Jim Kennedy, 170 N. Calvados, addressed council, he also
felt the matter should be heard after publication, but requested
that the City not spend a great deal of money on consultants
when it could use its own professional staff.
After further discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio and
unanimously carried to continue the matter to the meeting of
August 6, 1973, and to request the County building inspector
to inspect the center building and submit a report at that
meeting.

place the cost of the Weed Abatement against the various
properties as a lein on the taxes.

the Council to meet in an adjourned session to adopt the
Resolution. He suggested July 30th as the date. This
would allow the time to complete the Weed Abatement program,

suggested the Council adopt a policy whereby every
employee who retires from the City services, shall
automatically receive a plaque.
