application for 1976 by November 12, 1975.
City Administrator recommended that Council approve sending
letter of intent; and that Planning Director secure informa-
tion prior to December 12, 1975, before making decision for
executing Cooperation Agreement.
Moved by Councilman Solem, seconded by Councilman Arkison
and unanimously carried to approve recommendation of City
Administrator.
City Administrator presented to Council a report on the
Validation Process to test procedures for establishing
master plans for fire service. He presented a map showing
four general areas for fire service in the City - brush
land, commercial, industrial and residential.
This study cannot be solely Fire Department oriented, and
must have citizen input. He recommended that City Council
be responsible for appointing individuals to a steering
committee.
He also noted that 10 communities across the United States
were selected in a validation process to test procedures
for establishing master plans for fire service, that we
should feel honored to have been selected as one of the
validation communities.
Art Morales, 337 N. Soldano Ave., addressed Council and
voiced concern regarding lack of bi-lingual Police Officers
on City Police Force. Police Chief advised him that there
is generally at least one bi-lingual Officer on each shift,
as well as bi-lingual Reserve Officers who can be called
upon to provide such service.
Councilman Cruz requested information regarding annexation
of water district along Gladstone Ave. Director of Public
Works advised Councilman Cruz that we are annexing this
area into S.G.V.M.W.D. water district, of which Azusa is a
member.
Councilman Arkison noted the meeting to be held in Santa
Ana on December 5, 1975, regarding Municipal Liability
insurance, and asked if we are still having a problem with
this. City Administrator advised him that this was still
a problem, and that someone would attend that meeting.
