MRS., DEAN J. MADSEN, President, and MRS. GLENN D. SCOTT, Secretary,
E1 Segundo Cooperative Nursery School, dated August 4, 1948, requesting the
Council to lease to it municipally owned Lot 2, Block 13, Tract 1685, for
a period of five years, with the option of renewal, for the purpose of using
said property to conduct a nursery school, all as more particularly set
forth in said communication.
Mrs. Madsen was present in the Council Chamber and discussed the
nursery project, its needs and objectives, with the Council.
Subsequently, Mr. Frank Carter, also present in the Council Chamber,
addressed the Council with reference to the same subject, stating that the
property E1 Segundo Cooperative Nursery School wishes to lease is presently
utilized as a public park and is a playground for large numbers of small
children in the northwest portion of the City. He indicated that a termina-
tion of this latter use would deprive many children of a protected play
area and require theme to play in the public streets, thus endangering their
safety and causing worry for their parents.
At the conclusion of the discussions, the Mayor informed the re-
presentative of the applicant-for lease that the City Council would investigate
the matter during the week to determine the propriety of acquiescing in their
request and to see if other sites may be available.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS.
Mr. Floyd Wallace complained to the Council of the alleged misuse of
the traffic control signal on Imperial Highway westerly of Aviation Boulevard,
which is operated by officers of North American Aviation, Inc. to enable its
foot and vehicular traffic to cross Imperial Highway from south to north or
north to south.between the two plants of said industry. He elaborated upon
his experiences over a period of time and at the conclusion of his remarks
the matter was referred to the Chief of Police for investigation and report.
Dr. Jack VanBloom addressed the Council, informing it that E1 Segundo
Tennis Club, an organization of between 35 and 50 persons, had delegated him
to inquire why the tennis courts on El Segundo High School Campus are not
lighted, so as to permit of tennis playing at night. He related the benefits
which would accrue from the installation of lighting facilities and indicated
that his group desired the City Council and the School Trustees to cooperate
in accomplishing the desired end.
Councilman Baker informed the gentleman that the City has thus far
done its part in the matter by causing specifications for the installation
-4-
S 26A
of illumination in one court to be prepared and having obtained bids on
said installation and by submitting the information to the School Trustees,
which Body had agreed to discuss the matter further with the Council when
its budget had been prepared, but that to date the Council has received
no further information on the subject,
At the conclusion of the discussion, the Mayor suggested that the
proper procedure is to take the problem to the Recreation Commission, after
which the City Council would be disposed to seriously consider said
Commission's recommendations in the premises.
Mr. Frank Carter, residing on North Loma Vista Street, within the City
of E1 Segundo, informed the Council that dogs, many of which are unlicensed,
congregate in packs in the area of Loma Vista Street and Walnut Avenue,
frightening children and damaging private property, and he inquired whether
or not some action might be taken to eliminate the nuisance, indicating that
the adoption of a leash law might be an effective means.
Mr. Floyd Wallace stated that persons whose property is damaged by
animals have a remedy at law and that he objects to the adoption of a leash
law.
Mr. Robert Feeny, residing at 539 East Walnut Avenue, then arose
and stated that in the vicinity of his home, residents likewise are annoyed
with dog packs and that h6 has seen dogs attack riders of motor scooters and
Jeopardize their safety,
Concluding the discussion on the subject, the Mayor requested the
City Clerk to call the matter to the attention of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in an endeavor to enlist said Society's
assistance in correcting the difficulti ®s complained of.
Mr. Robert Feeny called attention to a provision of the zoning ordinance,
requiring the construction of a garage for every dwelling erected in an R -1
zone and stated that seven cracker -box type houses are being erected at the
corner of Walnut Avenue and Sheldon Street without garages and that in his
Judgment they are being so constructed that the erection of garages in
connection therewith is not possible. He stated he felt that the type of
construction is undesirable and inquired whether or not complaints might
not be issued against the builder and cause him to terminate the type of
construction referred too
City Attorney Woodworth explained the limits to which the City may
go in the adoption of legislation controlling the size and appearance of
structures and how these matters are controlled by deed restrictions, and
as the discussion terminated, the Mayor referred the matter for investigation
to Councilman Thompson, Public Service Commissioner, who, as such, has
supervision over the Department of Building and Planning.

REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES,
REPORTS OF OFFICERS AND SPECIAL COMMITTEES,
Councilman Baker reported that on July 31, 1948, he, with five other
-5-
s 261
E1 Segundoites, attended a dinner meeting of the Imperial Highway Association,
held in the dining room of El Segundo Rose Bowl; that the meeting was very
interesting and that reports made at said meeting indicate the Imperial
Highway development is progressing very satisfactorily.
The Chief of Police, by written communication dated July 29, 1948,
announced the appointment of certain persons as Special Police Officers
of the City of El Segundo and requested approval thereof.
Moved by Councilman Baker, seconded by Councilman Thompson, that
the appointments, by the Chief of Police of the City of E1 Segundo, of
J. L Ashley, T. H., Bakery R. W. Garner, L. E. McOahey and L. A. O'Jibway
as Special Police Officers of said City be and the same are hereby
ratified, approved and confirmed. Carried.
The Chief of Police, in the before mentioned communication, announced
the revocation of the appointments of C. P. Pitney and L. E. Pearson as
Special Police Officers of the City of El Segundo.
Councilman Thompson reported that he, City Engineer Lortz, City Clerk
McCarthy and Deputy City Clerk Neva M, Elsey attended a meeting of City
officials, held in the Council Chamber of the City Hall of the City of
Inglewood, Tuesday, August 3rd, 1948, at which time and place a representative
of the office of the State Controller explained the necessity for and the
method of preparing the annual reports required to be filed by cities
annually in compliance with the provisions of the Collier -Burns Highway Act.
He stated the matter was somewhat complicated and requested City Clerk
McCarthy to report thereon.
City Clerk McCarthy thereupon: stated that the report required to
be made annually by cities in connection with revenues received and expendi-
tures made in connection with street construction and maintenance is not a
creature of the State Controller's office, but is made mandatary upon him
by the Collier -Burns Highway Act, which also makes the reporting mandatory
upon cities; that the report chiefly embraces financial data and that if the
Street Superintendent or City Engineer were designated by the City Council as
the officer to prepare such annual report, it would, in his judgment, require
such officer to keep a complete and independent set of books on highway
revenues and expenditures; that inasmuch as a large part of the information
presently is kept in the City Clerk's office, it would seems logical that
the City Clerk be designated as the officer to complete and file the report
under discussion, but that the Clerk's office would have to have the co-
operation of the Street Superintendent and City Engineer and may have to call
upon these.officers for additional and more complete information and might
even find it necessary to employ additional help to accumulate, distribute
and record all financial transactions effecting public streets; that in his
Judgment a portion of any additional cost in compiling the information might
possibly be recovered by charging certain items of insurance, the rental
value of Street Department equipment and machinery and the pro rata cost
of operation and maintenance of the municipal yard to the respective street
projects undertaken within any fiscal year.
When the City Clerk had finished his report, City Engineer Lortz was
asked for comment and he stated he had nothing to add to the City Clerk's
report.
It was thereupon moved by Councir man Baker, seconded by Councilman
Swanson, the following resolution be adopted:

by one W. J. Valenzuela; that the Water Department had sent a bill for re-

he had delivered the file on the subject to the City Attorney for his
