determine whether'or not there is oil in said area. He further

of placing oil wells in their backyards and if the variance request

REPORTS OF STANDiNU UU13'!I'1'TZES
Councilman Gordon, in charge of the Park Department of
the City of El Segundo, stated that the pool in Library Park is
being cleaned.
Commissioner of Public Safety Thompson, reporting in connec-
tion with the matter of removing the Gamewell fire alarm system
presently installed in the City Hall building to the new fire
station, stated that he had requested the Chief of Police and
the Fire Chief to make their recommendations with respect to the
matter of such removal. He thereupon read to the Council the
report-.of T. B. De Berry, Chief of Police, as follows:
"Should it become necessary for personnel of police de-
partment to sound signals upon present Gamewell system
for fire department, the following may result:
1. One officer, only, is present in the police depart-
ment in charge of radio control and dispatch room.
Leaving desk to go into fire department in order
to insert disc for proper fire district takes officer
-7-
U 180
away from police phones and radio. The latter
facilities, when in use, are of emergency classi-
fication and require immediate follow -up and
additional phone calls that must be taken care of
without delay. There should be no interference with
police emergencies when they arise.
2. Due to world situation, or what may follow if
further freezes are imposed for increased military
man power, it may result in police personnel being
reduced and new, or substitute, officers of catch -
as -catch -can type shall have to be employed. As a
consequence, the proper handling of this added re-
sponsibility may result in confusion in dispatch-
ing fire equipment and personnel.
3. T"iessage first received by fire department, then, via
phone, relayed to police department, resulting in
rehandling of messages, thus increasing the tendency
of inaccuracy and transposition of figures of fire
CD
locations, plus delay in expediting of message.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ T. B. De Berry
T. B. DE BERRY
Chief of Police ".
Thereafter, Councilman Thompson read to the Council the
report of Leo B. Freedman, Chief of El Segundo Fire Depart-
ment, as follows:
"On making a survey of the condition that would exist
if the Gamewell Alarm, System of the Fire Department
was left with the Police Department to operate, the
following conditions would exist.
:'then receiving the alarm from the Fire Department they
would have to dispatch their ovm cars as well as the
Chief of the Fi. -e Department if he was out, by radio,
answer calls that would be coming in and then leave
their dispatchergs desk and go into the Apparatus room,
set up the alarm systems, trip it then get back to
their board.
Due to the fact that there is only one man on duty at
this board it will greatly affect the efficiency of
dispatching and also of getting our Call Tien out.
In interviewing T:r. Howard 14'. Swift of the Board of
Fire Underwriters of the Pacific he stated that the
board would prefer that the Fire Department would
control their ovum alarm system and that,was his recom-
mendation.
`under the above fincbrgs I respectfully recommend that
the alarm system be moved to the new station and in-
stalled as soon as practicable.

Director of Public ;forks Short made reports as follows:
1. That he had delivered to each member of the City
Council a list of delinquent water users in thelaterDepart-
ment of the City of El Segundo.
2. That on the 23rd day of January, 1951, he had attended
the 16th meeting of the 7,11est Basin Engineering Advisory Committee,
which meeting was held in connection with the matter of adjudi-
cation of underground water rights in the West Basin area; that
an unsuccessful attempt was made to determine what period of
time will be involved before a settlement is made. In the mean-
time the City of El Segundo, along with other principal users
and a number of minor users, continue to draw water from the
underground reservoir, and as a result thereof, encroachment
of sea water is permitted; that the West Basin 'dater Association
is attempting to alleviate the situation by obtaining funds
from the State of California with which to construct fresh water
dikes along the line of the sand dunes pending adjudication
of such water rights; that Assemblyman Chapel has introduced
such legislation, and said Director of Public Jorks suggested
that the Council and other interested persons write the State
Senators and Assemblymen, urging the passage of Assembly Bill
No. 784 and Senate Bill No. 429; that he feels there is a
reasonable chance of the appropriation being made, provided same
has the full support of citizens in this area.
2. That in all probability the :Jest Basin "later Associa-
tion will at some future date approach the City of E1 Segundo
with a request that it be allowed to use this City's excess
capacity in the transmission main to carry Metropolitan water
from the vault located in the City of Avianhattan Beach to the
westerly terminus of said transmission line, so that water may
be available at that location to assist in building the fresh
water dike hereinbefore mentioned. He requested an expression
from the Council as to its attitude with respect to allowing
the use of such excess capacity in existing lines provided there
is no liability to, the City of El Segundo.
:embers of the Council expressed the opinion that the
Citv of El Segundo should cooperate with the West Basin ,later
Association in attempting to alleviate the present encroachment
of salt water into the fresh water basin, and gave their tenta-
tive approval to the use of any excess capacity which might be
available in the City's transmission line, provided that any
costs incurred by reason of installation and use of such lines
should not be a charge against the City of El Segundo, and
-11-
IJ 184
with the further provision that if and when this City's re-
quirements reach the maximum capacity of said line, other
arrangements would have to be made.
The City Attorney reported he had received from the I.iayor

defense and disaster, and he thereupon read such revised
form of ordinance in full to the City Council, following the
reading of which Councilman Gordon introduced Ordinance No.
