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.

The established by 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 City,is 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 Appve.& auth. Water Co. and the City, for lease of water rights. exec.Agmt.with Az.Valley Water The City Clerk explained Council had authorized him to Co. for lease submit a formal, sealed bid on behalf of the City to the of water rights Azusa Valley Water Co. for lease of nrescrintt.ve pumping rights to 600 acre feet of water for current fiscal year, and the City was awarded the blu.

(opposed) 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.

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. Pnl.ice Captain Lara affirmed the fact there is new no law allowing them to cont^ol the consumption of alcohol in public places.

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 Re: question of to the V.F.W., Elks, and other such organizations which disposition & lease the use of their facilities for dances, informing results of cases them of the voluntary restrictions adopted at the Parish & trials of Hall and suggesting the same be applied equitably to all offenders arrestE organizations providing such facilities. during Parish Hal riot Councilman D^cker expressed his concern about the disposi- tion by the Courts involving those offenders arrested in (Poi -Ch. & C.Adm. ,the original riot at the Parish Hall. He felt the to sub.report) 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, seco.nded 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.
