Director of Community Services reported on beer drinking Disturbances
and gun shot incidents at Gladstone Park. He advised at Gladstone
that the Police were working with the Recreation Depart- Park
ment in quelling the situation. Councilman Fry requested
information be submitted to Council whenever disturbances
occur.
Discussion was held regarding water being released from
Morris Dam for a period of 40 days in the hopes that it
will be of some benefit. We will not be charged for
this as we are only assessed for water that we pump out.
Councilman Arkison voiced concern over the status of the
City's CRA and that no positive steps had been -taken to
make it a working agency. He felt that Eugene Jacobs
was not producing any visible results and that Council,
being the Community Redevelopment Agency, should strive
to accomplish established goals. After discussion, it
was consensus of Council that Mr. Eugene Jacobs be
requested to make a report to Council, subsequent to
the report a joint meeting is to be held with the
Chamber of Commerce and also to request the Advisory
Committee of the CRA to report on its progress.
M Councilman Arkison made a motion to direct the City
1 Attorney to draw up a resolution consisting of a ballot
measure that would include the following:
Q
"Shall the voters of the City of Azusa elect two
City Councilmen in the election in the year 1980
and three City Councilmen in the year 1982 with
the Mayor to be chosen by the members of the City
Council to act as Mayor instead of electing a
Mayor and one Councilman in 1980 and a Mayor and
two Councilmen in 1982."
'City Clerk advised that for the upcoming elections
there would have to be a Council action, on a one time basis
only, shortening the term of office of one Councilman, to
two years due to the fact that the Mayor, and three Council -
manic seats would be vacant for that election. This action
will be required in order to make the number of seats
vacant the same for each election thereafter. City
Attorney advised that this was true, however, pertain-
ing to Councilman Arkison's motion, it could be restated,
in essence, to ask for a vote on whether or not to revert
to former system of Councilmen selecting a Mayor rather
than the electorate.
After lengthy discussion, Councilman Arkison's motion
to authorize City Attorney to prepare a Resolution for
a ballot measure calling for the Mayor to be chosen by the
Council Members was seconded by Councilman Cruz.
Motion passed by the following vote of the Council:
AYES: Councilmen: Decker, Cruz, Arkison
NOES: Councilmen: Fry, Solem
ABSENT: Councilmen: None
'Councilman Arkison made a motion to direct the City Attorney
to prepare a resolution consisting of a ballot measure to
include the following:
"Shall the voters of the City of Azusa limit the
terms of City Council to two consecutive four year
terms with the exception that a Councilman who has
received appointment to that position shall be
eligible for two consecutive four year terms follow-
ing expiration of his appointed term. Shall the

AYES: Councilmen: Cruz, Arkison
NOES: Councilmen: Decker, Fry, Solem
ABSENT: Councilmen: None
Discussion was held regarding March 1978 election where-
in 3 council seats and 1 mayoral seat would be-acant,
and that action is necessary to limit one council seat
for a two year term,so that future elections would be
more uniform, i.e., 2 council seats, 1 mayoral seat
each election. City Attorney advised that action by
Council could designate one seat to be for a 2 year
term, however, new laws effective January 1978, would
allow that successful candidate receiving the least
number of votes would serve the 2 year term. Due to
necessary action by Council prior to the end of the
year, City Attorney was researching the matter and would
have an opinion and necessary resolution for 12/5/77,
