Selby, Mayor. ROLL CALL Councilmen Present: Gordon, Peterson, Swanson and Mayor Selby; Councilmen Absent: Baker. READING OF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the regular meeting held on the 13th day of May, 1953, having been read and no errors or omissions having been noted, it was moved by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Gordon, the minutes of said meeting be approved as recorded. Carried. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS The hour of 7:00 o'clock P. M. on this date, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall of the City of El Segundo, having been heretofore fixed as the time and place for hearing on order to Milton C. Wade to show cause why a certain permit heretofore issued to him for conducting a dog kennel at 1310 East Grand Avenue should not be revoked, the Mayor announced said time had now arrived and he inquired whether or not Mr. Wade or his representa- tive was present in the Council Chamber. Mr. George Lawrence stated he is an attorney representing Mr. Wade in said matter and that through various combination of circumstances it was not until Monday evening, May 18, 1953, that Mr. Wade was notified by the Police Department of the pending hearing; that he had investigated the mat- ter and called attention to the fact that the notice to Mr. Wade requires a ten -days? notice of the date of the hearing; that some attempt was evidently made to serve through registered mail, but investigation discloses that the postal authorities had forwarded the registered notice from 1310 East Grand Avenue and that in forwarding the numbers of the forwarding address were misplaced; that it was not sent to Mr. Wade ?s address at 9407 South Vermont Avenue, but to 9047 South Vermont Avenue, so he did not receive that notice. Mr. Lawrence further stated that these matters frequently involve con- siderable time and that in order for Mr. Wade to have a proper hearing, he would like to present nine to ten witnesses; that the matter seems to be based upon allegations of Humane Officers of the Southern California Humane Society, who in a sense, operate competing establishments inasmuch as this particular kernel is both a breeding and boarding kennel, that those matters have to be gone into thoroughly and that expert testimony on the matter of malnutrition would be presented. Mr. Lawrence requested at this time that, in view of what he feels is inadequacy of notice and also the seriousness of the subject involved, the matter be continued -until such a time as proper hearing can be set, and-he suggested approximately one month would be the minimum time to adequately prepare for it. City Attorney Clyde Woodworth inquired of the City Clerk if he was correct in his understanding that a notice was actually deposited in the United States Mail and that she had received a returned envelope which shows that it was transmitted to various places by the Government Postal service, and that it was later returned to her office. -1- V 431 The City Clerk replied in the affirmative, stating that said notice was deposited in the post office in E1 Segundo on May g, 1953, anal it was not returned to her until after the expiration of the ten days' notice. City Attorney Woodworth then addressed the Council, stating that under the circumstances he believes Mr. Lawrence's position is well taken as far as a notice is concerned; that he does not believe that adequate notice has been served in order to conduct the hearing tonight. He then inquired of Mr. Lawrence that if the Council grants a continua- tion of the hearing, if he would waive a further notice and consent that the hearing be held at a future date, and Mr. Lawrence replied in the af- firmative, and stated that he requested a one month's continuation of the hearing. City Attorney_ Woodworth then advised the Council that the question before it is whether or not it will grant Mr- Wade's attorney's request that the hearing be fixed at approximately one month from now. Councilman Peterson brought up the question as to whether or not, if the hearing is postponed for one month, if said hearing will be confined to evidence which might come to the Council as of this date and not what the conditions would be a month fro^ now. City Attorney Woodworth replied to Mr. Peterson that it is not known and cannot be presupposed what will occur at the hearing, but frequently when an order to show cause is served upon a person why something should not or should be done by him, he is entitled to know the reasons why he is being cited so that he will have a reasonable opportunity to prepare a defense to those charges, if any he has, so frequently the matters complained of as of the date the order to show cause was issued would be the most germane to the issue in- volved. Mayor Selby then inquired of Mr. Brownlee, representative of the Southern California Humane Society, who was present in the Council Chamber, whether or not a month, which he assumed would be four weeks, and which would indicate the date of the hearing to be June 17, 1953, would be satisfactory to him, and he replied in the affirmative. Then Mayor Selby inquired of Mr. Lawrence, the attorney for Mr. Wade, if the date of June 17, 1953 would be agreeable to him, and Mr. Lawrence replied in the affirmative. Thereafter, it was moved by Councilman Gordon, seconded by Councilman Swanson, that pursuant to request made at this meeting by Mr. George Lawrence, attorney for Milton C. Wade, a continuance is hereby granted in the matter of the order to show cause issued to Milton C. Wade why his permit to operate a dog kennel should not be revoked, until the hour of 8:00 o'clock P.M., on the 17th day of June, 1953, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall of the City of El Segundo. Carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen. Gordon., Peterson., Swanson and Mayor Selby; Noes: Councilmen None; Absent: Councilman Baker. City Attorney Woodworth then inquired of-Mr. Lawrence, attorney for Mr.-Wade, if he would waive any further notice'of the continued hearing, and Mr. Lawrence replied in the affirmative. Mr. Woodworth then inquired of Mr. Brownlee, representative of the Southern. California Humane Society, complainants in the matter, if on behalf of said Organization, he would waive any further notice of said continued hearing, and Mr. Brownlee replied in the affirmative. —2- V 432 WRITTEN COMFEUNICATIONS Written communications, received from the persons, firms or corpor- ations hereinafter named, were read to the Council and were disposed of in the Wanner indicated, following reference to each hereinafter: EL SEGUNDO JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, dated May 17, 1953, request- ing that it be granted permits as follows: (1) Permission to use the vacant portion of Block 42, El Segundo, July 29 to August 2, 1953, both dates inclusive, as grounds for the 6th Annual El Segundo Fiesta; (2) That the Frank W.
