WALTER C. PETERSON, CITY CLERK, CITY OF IDS ANGELES, dated October 21,
1954, advising that at a meeting of the City Council of the City of Los
Angeles, held on said date, a resolution was adopted instructing the City
Attorney to present an ordinance changing the existing Municipal Code of
the City of Los Angeles so that burning in incinerators would be permitted
between the hours of 4 :00 P. M. to 7:00 P.M. instead of the present hours
of from 6:00 A. M. to 10:00 A. M. in an effort to ameliorate the smog
problem, and further stating that all cities in the County of Los Angeles
were being requested to consider the adoption of similar legislation.
Lengthy discussion respecting the problem ensued, during which Mayor
Selby stated that he has been advised that the officials of the County of
Los Angeles have indicated that within a year the use of home incinerators
may be banned; that he feels the smog problem is also this Cityts problem
and the City should cooperate if possible.
Fire Chief Freedman stated that the City.of El Segundo presently does
not have an ordinance requiring home incinerators; that approximately 90%
of the burning is in the open or in drums; that because of this fact and
also due to the fact that the City of El Segundo is subject to westerly
winds in the afternoon, he is of the opinion that if burning is allowed in
the afternoon hours the City is going to have a condition of spreading
embers from open burning and increased fire hazards.
Councilman Baker stated that, in his opinion, the hours of 3:00 P. M.
to 6:00 P. M. might be preferable in this community. Councilman Swanson
stated that, in his opinion, he believed that special permits for burning
during other hours should still be issued by the Fire Chief.
Following further consideration, it was moved by Councilman Swanson,
seconded by Councilman Gordon, that the City Attorney be and he is hereby
directed to prepare an ordinance amending the present ordinance setting up
hours during which combustible rubbish may be burned so as to permit such
burning between the hours of 3 :00 P. M. to 6:00 P. M. Carried by the
following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Baker, Gordon, Swanson and Mayor Selby;
