The proposed Agreement asked that the sewer and water main
be extended from its present terminus to the Johnson -Watson
properties at the north end of the proposed annexation area,
at such time as Johnson -Watson improved the property in the
value of not less than $50,000. Such extension would be at
no cost to the property owners.
The Director of Public Works addressed Council and explained
that the City Resolution governing water services requires
any additional extension of water mains to be borne by
property owners. He submitted a report showing the cost of
extension of sewer and water services estimated to be $24,000.
He noted the present budget included a sufficient sum to replace
the existing small water main with a larger water main. He
also noted that the property owners would have to pay the
Sanitation District fee for attaching to the sewer lines, should
they elect to attach to said lines. He further noted that
there was a City fee for connecting to the sewer lines, set
by Ordinance.
The City Attorney noted that any agreement which became
conditions of the annexation could over -ride the requirements
for such fees or payment. of costs for extension of water main.
Mr. Watson again addressed Council and offered to remove the
three northern -most parcels from the Agreement to receive
water and sewer services. He also offered to increase the
improvement value from $50,000 to $100,000, necessary before
the services would be extended at no cost to the property
owners.
Council discussed the remuneration which the proposed annexa-
tion may or may not bring to offset such costs. The advisa-'
bility of setting a precedent was discussed.
After further discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Decker and
unanimously carried to request the Planning staff to prepare
a report sh6wing the potential fiscal return from the assessed
value in the area to be annexed and any possible developments
that may happen in that area.

The matter of the Agreement betweentthe County Flood Control
District, Owl Rock Products Co., and the Golf Course, with
City as consenter, re: ownership of barrier berm and an
easement for construction, maintenance, and landscaping
'by the Golf Course, was presented.
Glenn R. Watson, 615 S. Flower Street, Los Angeles,
addressed Council and explained that the Flood Control
District is to give an easement of 20 feet to the Golf
Course owners for a sight and sound retarding berm. The
Golf Course owners have agreed to maintain this berm at
their cost. He showed a diagram of the placement of the
berm and noted it is broken only in the area owned by the
City of Glendora. It is their hope that the City of
Glendora will allow an easement to construct the remainder
of the berm and thereby complete the sound barrier. He
noted that the Citytis not obligated in any manner it this
agreement. The reason the City is involved is because the
Flood Control District is the ultimate recipient of the
land presently to be excavated, and the City has an option
to receive this land should the Flood Control not wish to
accept it. Therefore, the Flood Control District is
concerned that the City be aware of all factors affecting
this property.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio and
unanimously carried to approve the Agreement and authorize
its execution.
A proposed Agreement was presented, between the Azusa Valley
Water Co. and the City, for lease of water rights.
The City Clerk explained Council had authorized him to
submit a formal, sealed bid on behalf of the City to the
Azusa Valley Water Co. for lease. of n^escrinti.ve pumping
rights to 600 acre feet of water for current fiscal year, and
the City was awarded the biu. This Agreement now formalizes
the award of the bid.
Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Counc'lman Clark and
unanimously carried by roll call to approve and authorize
execution of said agreement.
The City Clerk submitted a letter from the City Attorney
giving notice that recent State Legislation in the
Elections Code allows cities to impose a filing fee for
submission of nomination papers 'by candidates for elective
City offices, in an amount not to exceed $25, to be
established by Ordinance.
The City Clerk recommended the establishment of a fee of
$10 or $15, primarily for the purpose of separating out
those persons who were not seriously intending to seek
'public office when they filed their nominating papers.
He noted the time of election had been accelerated by one
month, according to recent State Legislation, and thereby
requires action by Council now to make this.effective, if
it so deemed, by the opening of nominations in the first
week of December.
Councilman Clark opposed the concept as being another way
of getting money out of the people, as unneeded because
the City Clerk is paid to do this work anyway, and as a
restriction on the rights of any individual who would
wish to run for elective office.

A communication was received from Bob Hartunian, owner
of Western Disposal Co., with a proposal to supply the
Light & Water Department an enclosed container for storage
of scrap copper. The container would be locked for security
reasons and hold up to 10 tons of scrap copper. He offered
to supply this container as a means of reducing the theft
of City scrap copper. He further suggested he would pay
the City 75% of the nationally posted price for scrap copper
at the time of sale. He recommended that the City engage
this suggestion in a one-year trial period. It was noted
that this would relieve the City from the need to seek
quotations each time there was sufficient copper to sell.
The City Attorney felt there would be no objection,
inasmuch as the price would be based on a nationally
determined schedule.
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously.carried to approve the proposal and
instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary
Agreement.
A request was received from the Director of Parks &

Councilman Clark drew Council's attention to the fact that,
in the recodification of the City Code and subsequent
discussions, the section prohibiting corsumption.of
alcoholic beverages in public places and buildings was
omitted. This has allowed the open drinking of beer in
City parks, which he feels is not proper.
Councilman Rubio expressed concern with youngsters
drinking beer on the curb in front of the Police Depart-
ment and the Police claiming they had no law to control
this.
police Captain Lara affirmed the fact there is new no
law allowing them to control the consumption of alcohol
in public places. He noted there is presently no
violation until the persons involved become drunk or a
nuisance to other persons.

AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1973
It was felt by some members of Council that a law should
be on the books to regulate consumption of alcoholic
beverages in public places, but which would allow the
City to hold champagne receptions or similar activities
in official capacities within public buildings.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Clark
and unanimously carried that the City Attorney be
Instructed to draft a proposed addition to the present
Ordinance, to provide such regulation.
The Mayor suggested the City Administrator send a letter
to the V.F.W., Elks, and other such organizations which
lease the use of their facilities for dances, informing
them of the voluntary restrictions adopted at the Parish
Hall and suggesting the same be applied equitably to all
organizations providing such facilities.
Councilman Dicker expressed his concern about the disposi-
tion by the Courts involving those offenders arrested in
the original riot at the Parish Hall. He felt the
leniency of courts today allows these offenders to feel
they can participate in this unlawful behavior without
retribution. Consequently, the riot -type activities
will continue regardless of what restrictions these
organizations place upon themselves. He indicated his
interest in knowing the outcome of the trials of the
offenders arrested in the Parish Hall disturbance.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Clark
and unanimously carried that the Police Chief and City
Administrator submit a report on the disposition and
results of the cases and trials of those offenders
arrested during the Parish Hall riot.
Police Captain Lara noted most of these disturbances
centered around private dances, i.e., wedding dances
and showers, which do not require City permits or
guards to be present. Usually there is no trouble at
organization -sponsored dances where permits and guards
are required.
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried that the meeting be adjourned.
