"E1 Segundo, California
December 17, 1947.:
"Honorable,'City Council..
City of E1 Segundo, California
Gentlemen:- `
The Board of Directors of the El Segundo Chamber of
Commerce has'disoussed•at some length the feasibility of pro -
viding for'•this community the special services hereinafter
referred to. - After such consideration the Board is of the
opinion that-the services mentioned are of-extreme, importance
to our city, but at the present time the same are'not'being
covered by any existing agency or arrangement.
The services to which we refer above, and which`
we believe-should have immediate attention, in view of the -
material benefits and promotional value which their activating
and prosecution would produce, are the following, to -with
First: The making from time to time of
economic and industrial surveys of the City of E1
Segundo, indicating conditions and trends as same
may affect the progress, welfare and interests of the
City.
Second: The furnishing of'an information
service. Through this service, a person seeking in-
fo~zaation 'with reference to the coasunity,' its city
goverment and other features affecting the general
community life and activities, and the civic projects
and undertakings within our area, would be able to {
acquire the necessary information with a minimum of --
effort and in the shortest possible time.

suggestions relating to the advertising, advancement-
and promotion of the City of El Segundo, and the making

City Council on any and all matters of an advertising
or promotional nature which the City Council may refer

Agency for the City, and the making of recommendations'

Fifth: Continued functioning to develop and re
commend to the City Council, plans and projects; which
will have for their purpose the advancement of the in-
terests of said'City and of its citizens in the important
and critical years ahead.
We feel that the E1 Segundo Chamber of Commerce, being -
a corporation organized expressly for the purpose of rendering -
services of the nature hereinabove referred to, is in an admirable
position to furnish such services to the City of E1 Segundo in
the capacity of its "Advertising and Promotional Agency."
In View of the foregoing, we therefore make the
following offer to the City of E1 Segundo, to wit:
The E1 Segundo Chamber of Commerce will, as the"-."Adver-
tising and Promotional Agency "' of the City of El 'Segundo, render

the City Council of said City quarterly reports in writing with
reference thereto (including interim written reports and recommen-
dations upon any subjects specially referred to it by the City
Council of said City); and will maintain,'during reasonable
business hours, a munic.ipal'information bureau.at the Chamber
office within the City of El Segundo for the sum 'of $50.00 per
month, to be paid said Chamber for the period during which such
Chamber may act as such agency for said City. If this proposal
is accepted we are prepared to commence our services at once
and do hereby agree that if this proposal is accepted, the
arrangement thereby made between the said Chamber and the said
City may be terminated by either party upon thirty days written
notice to the other.
This written offer and your resolution of acceptance
thereof (in the event of acceptance) shall be and constitute the
arrangement or agreement between said Chamber andieaid -City
with reference to the matters hereinabove referred to, to com-
mence as of the date specified for commencement in your resolution
of acceptance, and to continue thereafter until either mutually
cancelled or cancelled upon notice of one party to -the other, as
above indicated'.
Trusting you'will give this offer your serious con-
sideration, as we feel that we are in a position to render'
excellent service to the City in its advertising and promotional
program, we remain,
Yours very truly,
