The City Clerk reported having had a discussion with Mr. A. M.
Lassner, concerning the maintenance of the neon city limits sign of the
City of E1 Segundo, located at the southwest corner of Imperial Highway
and Sepulveda Boulevard, and concerning which the Council, at its last
meeting, authorized the execution of a maintenance agreement with said
A. M. Lassner for the period of one year.
Q.
The Clerk stated that Mr. Lassner is unwilling to sign a contract for
one year's maintenance, inasmuch as two - thirds of one year's maintenance cost
would immediately* be expended in painting the sign and that he would realize
no profit from the transaction unless the agreement were made on a two year
basis.
The Council, after hearing the explanation, believing that the monthly
cost of maintenance of said sign to be charged by Mr. Lassner is reasonable,
and that his reluctance to sign a one year contract also is reasonable, it
was moved by Councilman Hesser, seconded by Councilman Selby, that that
portion of that certain resolution adopted by the City Council of the City of
E1 Segundo at its regular meeting held June 7, 1944, authorizing the execution
of a contract between the City of E1 Segundo and A. M. Lassner Neon Maintenance
Company, for the maintenance of the City's neon city limits sign, situated at
the southwest corner of Imperial Highway and Sepulveda Boulevard, for the
period of one year, be amended so that the same shall read. "for the period
of two years commencing July 1, 1944" instead of "for the period of one year
commencing July 1, 1944 ". Carried by the following vote:
