ORAL COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES REPORTS OF OFFICERS AND SPECIAL COMMITTEES City Administrative Officer Udall reported as follows: 1. Read to the Council his written report, dated March 10, 1954, re- specting investigation made by him in connection with communications received by the City Council at its last regular meeting held March 3rd, 1954, from persons requesting that certain safety precautions be taken to 'safeguard children attending the,Imperial School., The City Administrator's report reads as follows: . "CITY OF EL SEGUNDO INTER — DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE Date To: City Council cc — Mrs. Neva M. Elsey, City Clerk From: E. Earl Udall Subject: IMPERIAL SCHOOL PROBLEMS —1— March 10, 1954 V 823 "On February 13, 1954, Mrs. Chabrajez and Mrs. Lampton of the Imperial School P.T.A. and Mr. Paul Axtell, Principal of Imperial School, addressed a letter to the City Council set- ting forth three problems in regard to school children walking along and in the vicinity of Imperial Highway. The first problem related to school signs on the side of the street and painted signs on the street surface. The City was requested to install school signs on the west side of Sheldon and also to paint 'Slow School's on both approaches. The following is a report from Mr. T. B. DeBerry, Chief of Police: "Additional signs were painted on the street (Imperial Highway) both east and west of Imperial School. Also, uniform school sign relocated west of school. Work completed March 8, 1954." I feel certain that this will take care of the sign and painting problem. The second problem concerns itself with sidewalks and curbs to be installed on the south side of Imperial, immediately west and east of the school property. They were considered by the school people to be hazards, especially on muddy or rainy days, and there is plenty of indication that they were indeed hazardous stretches on rainy days. With the sanction of the City Council, I would like to spend some time in the near future contacting the owners of real property in this location to see if they are agreeable to being assessed for sidewalks and curbs on the south side of Imperial Highway. Mrs. Wilma Adams of 422 E. Imperial Highway also wrote a letter in regard to this problem. I interviewed her in her-home and found that she and her next door neighbor, both owners of property immediately west of the school, would be agreeable to being assessed for curbs and sidewalks in front of their homes. The third problem brought up by the school people was in regard to fences around two sumps - one immediately adjoining the Imperial School and the other one at the alley near Imperial and Center Street. It was requested that they be kept in constant repair to avoid a disaster of a child climbing or slipping into them underneath the fences. I personally examined the fences enclosing these two sumps and discovered that in one or two spots there was a possibility of a child slipping through. I thereupon instructed Mr. Arthur'Gunn, Street Superintendent, to repair same. Mr. Gunn's crews were there this morning with fencing material, wood, and etc., fixing the holes. If it is the Council's wishes, I shall be very happy to now com- municate in writing with Mrs. Chabrajez, Mrs. Lampton, Mrs. Adams and Mr. Axtell, and inform them what the City has done and what we intend to do so far as sidewalks and curbs go. Respectfully submitted, /s/ E. E. Udall E. Earl Udall,.City Administrator EEU:as ".

Webb, Jr., City Engineer, he had learned that such compromist might be possible, and also, in conversation with Mr. Robert E. Rosskopf, Attorney for the City in said matter, Mr. Rosskopf had recommended a compromise settlement if possible in order to avoid further court costs and attorneyts costs in the matter. -7- 9 V 829 Mr. Webb thereupon reported that he had conversed with Mr. Rosskopf with respect to said matter and Mr. Rosskopf had advised him the Pacific Electric Railway Company would be willing to deed its right -of -way property to the City for the sum of $3,000.00 if the City is willing to remove the rails, any usable cross -ties, and load same on flatcars to be provided by said Railway Company; that Mr. Rosskopf had further stated he would like to be advised if such proposition is acceptable to the City. Mr. Webb then recommended that if the proposition is accepted, the removal of the rails and cross -ties be delayed until such time as the City makes any improvement in the area. Mayor Selby then inquired of City Attorney Woodworth if the Pacific Electric Railway Company actually had title to said property and had any- thing to sell to the City. The City Attorney answered such query, replying that Mr. Rosskopf had advised him that whatever settlement is concluded with the Pacific Electric Railway Company would take care of all outstanding interests in the action so that it will be necessary for reversioners or whoever might be claiming any interest to surrender such interest to the Railway and that, thus, all outstanding interests will be taken care of. The Mayor then inquired of the City Attorney if he would be satisfied that payment of this amount of money would give the City a good title to said property, and Mr. Woodworth replied in the affirmative, and further stated that, in his opinion, the City would get title more quickly under such compromise settlement and would avoid any further expenses in the matter. It was thereupon moved by Councilman Gordon, seconded by Councilman Baker, that the City Attorney be and he is hereby authorized to communicate with Mr. Robert E. Rosskopf and advise Mr. Rosskopf that this Council is willing that he negotiate with the Pacific Electric Railway Company for settlement of the case upon the basis as suggested by the City Engineer of the City of El Segundo.
