A communication was received from the Director of Public
Works, stating Industrial Asphalt is the low bidder on an
overall basis. The Griffith Company bid a lower price per
ton for the asphalt, but because of the differences in haul
zones, the additional delivery expense makes the price more
than if purchased from Industrial Asphalt Co. who has a'
plant adjacent to our City limits in Irwindale. The close
proximity of this plant makes it much easier for City
trucks to pick up small amounts of asphalt for local street
patching purchases.
It was the recommendation of the Director of Public Works
that the bid be awarded to Industrial Asphalt Company.
Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Decker
and unanimously carried by roll call to award the bid to
Industrial Asphalt for the purchase of City's annual
asphaltic materials, and to return the bid securities to
the unsuccessful bidders after the contract has been
executed.

was again placed before Council, with a news article w/auth.for exec.
submitted by the Police Chief. of Agmts.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to raise the item from the table.
The Police Chief addressed Council, explaining that the
State law now requires a traffic engineering update on all
city streets where an electronic speed trap may be used.
He pointed out that there has not been a traffic study done
relative to speed limits in the City, and should anyone be
arrested as a result of the radar surveillance, he could
have the case thrown out of courts
The Director of Public Works addressed Council and ex-
plained that the intention is to begin a system which would
constantly be updated and would provide for studies relative
to the one mentioned by the Police Chief. The proposed study
would form the basis for priorities nn what streets to study
first for traffic engineering. Presently there is no system
that allows the Police Department or the Engineering Depart-
ment to be aware of hazardous areas until they result in
several deaths or great number of accidents.
Councilmen Decker and Rubio felt the program proposed by
the Director of Public Works was an unneeded expenditure
of Federal funds, which study could be as easily done by
City forces.

After discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Clark to
approve the recommendation of the Director of Public Works
to employ Lampman and Associates for the preparation of the
traffic safety studies for the total sum of $28,000, as
specified in the proposal, and authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the Agreements with said consulting
engineer, one for accident identification and surveillance,
and one for traffic control device inventory and review.

ABSENT: Councilmen: None
A petition was submitted, containing 16 signatures,
opposing the widening of Hollyvale Street between Vernon
Avenue and Orange Place.
The City Administrator explained that the petition was
the result of the City's intention to remove the carob
trees along this portion of Hollyvale Street, which were
damaging the street sewer lines, and at the same time
widen the street by an additional six feet.
The Director of Public Works addressed Council and drew
their attention to a diagram drawn to scale, showing the
difference between a 30 -foot wide street and a 36 -foot
wide street when cars were parked on both sides at the
same time. The former would allow for only one car to
pass through. Should it meet a second car, one of the
two would have to draw to t"e side to allow the other to
'pass. The additional six-foot width would allow both cars
to pass by each other in a smooth flow of traffic. The
widened street would have the sidewalk along the curb
with the new trees located on the side of the walkway
closest to the houses.
Will Standley, 725 W. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council
and opposed the widening of the street, and questioned
where trash would be placed if the sidewalk were placed
against the street, as it is illegal to block the side-
walk.
Paul Josephson, 318 N. Vernon Avenue, addressed Council and
opposed the widening of the street, and claimed he did not
need traffic 3 feet closer to his house.
Mrs. W. C. Potts, 608 W. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council
and opposed the widening as being unsafe for the children.
Mrs. Joe Martinez, 613 W. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council
and opposed the widening of the street because one of her
children had almost been hit by a speeding automobile.
Vince Moreno, 715 W. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council
'and stated he wished the street and the trees to remain
the same.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to approve the proposal of the
Director of Public Works to rebuild the street at 30 -foot
width and replace carob trees by other trees which would
not create the same problem, to be located in the parkway.
