A. 0. RUST and 16 OTHERS, dated February 13, 1956, setting forth
certain questions which they desired to have read into the minutes of the City
Council at this meeting, and also requested that said questions be answered
orally at this meeting. The City Clerk thereupon read the following questions
and the answer given to each:
1. (a) Is it possible to get a bond issue for storm drains
on the April ballot?
Answer: City Attorney Bush advised it was too late
to place any proposition on the April ballot.
(b) Also, what other means do you have for protecting the
homes until yon W get proper protection, what do you
plan to do, and Uhen is it to be done?
Answer: Director of Public Works Webb advised that about
the only expedient at this time would be to build
sand bag dikes. During the last rain the City
had purchased all the sand bags available in
-4-
111f 805
Inglewood and had borrowed approximately
1500 from various other sources; that:it'
would be difficult to control by any means
a volume of rain such as fell from January
26th to 27th; that County Flood Control
had stated this rain was a record for 54 years.
2. Why does the City permit building in low areas instead of
just warning the builder that it is a flooded area?
Answer: City Attorney Bush stated it is imposbible to
keep a person from building on his own property
unless under Police power, which could only be
exercised where a condition existed which would
affect the health of the coammnity.
Mayor pro tem Swanson stated it is the policy
of the City to place a warning notice on build-
ing permits issued for proposed buildings on low
property, calling attention to the fact the prop-
erty may be inundated in case of flood, but if the
property owner insists on building, nothing can
be done to prevent it.
3. Will the City Council call a Special open meeting within five
days after the receipt of the final recommendations of the
engineering company engaged in making the storm drain survey?
Answer: Mayor pro tern Swanson stated the report and
survey from the Engineering firm respecting
Storm Water Drainage Requirements for the City
of El Segundo had only been received this after-
noon, and he inquired of the Director of Public
Works whether or not a study could be made within
five days. The Director of Public Works stated
five days was totally inadequate to make a complete
study of the report, since it involves several
proposed drainage plans and maps.
Councilman Gordon stated the Council is aware of
the fact that people have been inundated and-.that
a serious problem confronts them and in view of
the presence of so many persons at this meeting,
and their interest, he suggested that since it is
difficult for the Council to deal with a large
number of persons, that if the people present in
the Council Chamber would form a committee of
approximately three persons or slightly larger,
that the Council would give the committee a copy
of the storm drainage report. As soon as the
Council and the G mmittee have had an opportunity
to analyze the report they could get together and
see what would be the most feasible method of
dealing with the problem; that the Council as
representatives of the people are very definitely
interested in the problem, and he feels this would
be a good way to start on a solution thereof.
Mr. Albert 0. Rust, residing at 1449 East Palm Avenue, stated a large
number of persons present represented the arda of the City easterly of Center
Street, and from Palm Avenue north, and that he would be willing to accept the
chairmanship of said Comittee.
Mr. William J. Cowin, residing at 744 Center Street, stated that even
during times of normal rainfall, drainage problems develop even to the extent
of preventing children from going to school.

�( 806
Councilman Frederick inquired of the Director of Public Works
if the water could not be pumped before it accumulated in the low spots,
and Mr. Webb stated the water might be pumped but there is no place to
pump it. '
Lengthy discussion ensued, during which the following persons
commented as to the various types of difficulties encountered during heavy
rainss Mrs. Oliver, 1204 E. Maple Avenue; William Mullins, 1446 East
Palm Avenue;,Mrs. John Babasa, 748 Center Street; S. R. Hunley, 1209 East
Oak Avenue; Leo Abrams, 740 Center Street; Philip Herciei;,407 Richmond Street;
L. F Blaakbu-A, 1444 East Palm Avenue; R. Whetstone, 1457 East Palm Avenue,
and Andrew Rocco, 1453 East Palm Avenue.
Several of the above named persons voiced complaints that sewage
backed up into their houses, and the Director of Public Works stated this
was due to the large amount of water going into the sewers and which the
sewers were unable to handle.
Inquiry was also made as to mWether or not any other method might
be used other than a large bond issue, and the Director of Public Works stated
this might be accomplished through building retention basins although this
method is not entirely desirable, and also there are very few satisfactory
places available for such catch basins.
Members of the Council called attention of those present to the
fact that it would take approximately eight or nine months to educate persons
not affected by flood waters, to vote in favor of a bond issue and therefore
it is not desirable or wise to push the matter too fast.
Following further discussion, Mayor pro tam Swanson asked Mr. Mercier
if he would also be willing to serve on the committee and Mr. Mercier answered
in the affirmative. The discussion terminated with the idea in mind that at NNW
the meeting of the City Council to be held March 26, 1956, the Coasaittee and
the City Council would set a date for a complete discussion of the storm
drainage problem.
ORAT. COMMUNICATIONS
Mrs. Mildred Ranson, 750 California Street, addressed the Council
respecting the desirability of having a four way stop sign erected at Cali-
fornia Street and Oak Avenue. She stated the location is at the crest of a
hill and very dangerous for children going to and from school. Mr. Robert
Feeney and others residing 3p the area also spike in favor of the stop sign
at this location, and Mayor pro tern Swanson stated that &a Public Safety Com-
missioner, he and Chief of Police De Berry would make an investigation of
the matter.
At this time, the hour being 8:27 o'clock P.M., the Mayor pro tem
declared-& recess of five minutes. At the hour of 8:32 o *clock P.M. the
Council reconvened, the following members present and answering roll call:
Councilmen Baker, Frederick, Gordon and Mayor pro tem Swanson; absent, Mayor
Selby.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, Continued
Mr. Lloyd Ballmer, Chairman of the Off- Street Parking Comittee,
inquired whether or not the Council had come to a decision as to the finan-
cial aid, if any, the City would contribute toward the cost of the proposed
parking district. Mayor pro tam Swanson inquired if members of the Council
had given the matter study and if they were ready to make a decision, and
all answered in the affirmative.
Councilman Gordon stated that in his opinion the City might con-
tribute thirty percent of the total cost of the improvement, providing same
does not exceed the sum of $150,000.00 and that the appraised value of lots
the City will donate to the parking project be deducted from the thirty
percent contribution.

hersinabove referred to, there shall be deducted the appriisddd

quested the Council give consideration to causing the street in said block to be
improved if and when it takes action to rescind the parking on one side only.

understanding a petition for the improvement of said block is also being circu-
