READING OF THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS
The minutes of the Regular Council Meeting held May 10, 1965, and
the Adjourned Regular Council Meetings held May 17, 18 and 19, 1965,
having been read and no error or omission having been noted, it was moved

SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS
The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore
fixed for the hearing in the matter of adopting the "Uniform Plumbing Code,
1964 Edition ", including its Appendices A, B, C, E and F therein contained,
and inquired of the Clerk if proper notice of the hearing had been given, to
which she replied that affidavit of publication of notice was in her file.
Mayor McGill then inquired if any written communications had been received
regarding the matter, and there being none, the Mayor inquired if anyone
present wished to address the Council regarding this matter.
1919
Mr. D. Ross, 129 Richmond Street, addressed the Council acid
presented a petition signed by Mr. Stephen E. Coscarart and 234 others,
requesting the following amendments to the 1964 Plumbing Code: (a) replace-
ment of water heaters not changing location, NO permit required (cost of
permit, $3. 50); (b) FHA approved type of temperature and pressure relief
valve installed in last 6 inches of top of boiler may be substituted for
emergency cut -off valve.
Director of Building Safety O'Bannon reported that his office had
made a- survey to determine the policy being followed by surrounding cities
regarding permit fees for replacement of water heaters. This survey re-
vealed that all cities using the 1961 Uniform Plumbing Code were charging
the $2. 00 permit fee plus the $1. 50 inspection fee, which is the same
amount required by the City of E1 Segundo. The only exception to this was
the City of Los Angeles where the fee is $3. 00 for replacement of water
heater and $4. 00 for an initial installation, with an extra charge for re-
inspection in the event it is needed. Mr. O'Bannon did not feel that the fee
being charged by the City of E1 Segundo was unfair.
Concerning Item (b) of Mr. Ross' petition, Mr. O'Bannon stated
that his department had no objection to the use of the FHA approved type
of temperature and pressure relief valve, providing it was installed in
accordance with the State laws regarding such installations.
It was then moved by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman.
McElhaney, that the hearing be closed. Motion carried.
After careful consideration, it was moved by Councilman Frederick,
seconded by Councilman Kimport,, that Ordi-aance No. 635; entitled.

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS WEBB MADE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Made the following report regarding the proposed improvement
of the west 100 and 200 blocks of Grand Avenue:
1923
Between Concord Street and the alley to the west, the centerline of
Grand Avenue shifts to the south approximately 21 feet. This requires
westbound traffic to execute a semi -S curve maneuver in traveling from
Concord to thr, alley west of Concord. Since there have been many instances
of westbound vehicles hitting the north curb of Grand Avenue at this location,
the following measures were proposed to effectively channelize traffic in
making the transition:
a) That directional arrows be painted on the pavement along the
middle of the westbound outside lane on the north side of
Grand Avenue.
-5-
X 1924
b) That a 12- inch -wide solid white line be painted on the
pavement in such a manner as to funnel westbound traffice
in the outside north lane into the alignment designated by
the arrows mentioned above.
c) That curb -top reflectors be placed along the north curb of
Grand Avenue from Concord Street to a point 100 feet west
of the alley between Concord and Virginia.
It was believed that these measures would be quite effective in
warning motorists of the convergence of the curb to the south. A drawing
depicting this layout was presented on the display board in the Council
Chamber.
With regard to the widening of Grand Avenue as suggested at the
last regular Council Meeting, this could be accomplished by removing
and replacing the existing curb and widening the traveled way (that is,
from curb face to curb face) to a width of 80 feet. This would provide
four 12 -foot traffic lanes, and four 7 -foot parking lanes. Two sidewalks
10 -feet wide would be constructed on either side of Grand Avenue, and a
center island 4 feet in width would be constructed.
Considering the street trees now in existence on Grand Avenue
from Main to Concord, which would have to be relocated, this would leave
a net sidewalk width of 7 feet between the tree pit and the face of the
buildings. The present sidewalk is 12 feet in width, and leave approxi-
mately 9 feet of useful sidewalk at tree locations.
Another design would consist of removing the trees completely
from the sidewalk area and placing them in the center island on a staggered
pattern. The locations of trees, the width of the sidewalk beyond a width
of 6 feet, and the width of the island beyond 4 feet, are primarily matters
of aesthetic concern rather than highway design.
Maps showing the two methods of accomplishing the widening were
presented on the display board in the Council Chamber.
Motion was made by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman
Frederick, that the matter of the improvement of the 100 and 200 blocks
of West Grand Avenue be set for public hearing subsequent to receipt of a
study of this matter by the Tra=fic Committee. Motion carried.
2. Requested authority to proceed with vacation of alley (Grand/
Standard and Eucalyptus /Franklin) in connection with the Mayfair Market
construction.
The Mayfair Market Corporation, which is constructing a market
on Grand Avenue at Eucalyptus, is requesting that a portion of the north /south
alley in the 200 block westerly of Eucalyptus, and the east /west alley
westerly of the 200 block of Eucalyptus be vacated. This company would
dedicate other land on the westerly side of the 200 block of Eucalyptus to
provide an alley° identical to the one now in existence but at a location
southerly of the present alley. The City Engineer's office sees no objection
to the proposed vacation and substitution by dedication of a new alley for
east /west traffic. The Existing alleys, the proposed vacation and the new
alley to be dedicated was displayed on the display board of the Council Chamber.
The transfer of the never alley to the City by deed would be accomplished
before the vacation of the existing alley is completed.
Motion was made by Councilman Frederick, seconded by Councilman
Kimport that the City Attorney be authorized to prepare a Resolution of In-
tention to vacate alley at Grand and Standard and at Eucalyptus and Franklin
as recommended by the Director of Public Works, for presentation at the
next regular City Council meting to be held June 14, 1965. Motion carried.
3. Presented for the Council's approval, copies of Budget Proposal
E -11 covering the proposed expenditure of State Gas Tax Funds for En-
gineering purposes for Fiscal Year 1965 -66, in amount of $20, 989. 54, and

recommended approval of said Proposal, and that the Mayor be authorized
to sign and the City Clerk to submit the signed forms to the State together
with certified copy of resolution adopted by the City Council. Thereafter,
it was moved by Councilman Frederick, seconded by Councilman Kimport
that Resolution No. 2125, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA,

Noes: Councilmen None;
Absent: Councilmen None.

5. Reported on street improvements accomplished and portions
remaining unimproved under final 60 -day notice (curb and sidewalk im-
provement program). In February, 1965, under instruction from the
Council, final 60 -day notices (under provisions of the 1911 Act of the
Streets and Highways Code) were presented to owners of properties in
blocks where over 50% of curb and sidewalk improvements had already
been made. This 60 -day notice followed a 120 -day period authorized
by the Council.
At the expiration of this 60 -day period (May 18, 1965) all but
ten of the twenty -seven parcels involved had accomplished the necessary
improvements. The properties remaining unimproved are as follows:

Mr. Webb recommended that the City Engineer, acting under the
procedures of the Improvement Act of 1911, be authorized to prepare
plans and specifications for the improvement of these ten parcels, to be
presented at the next regular Council Meeting to be held June 14, 1965.
Motion was made by Councilman Kimport, seconded by Council-
man McElhaney, that the City Engineer be authorized to prepare plans
and specifications for improvements in connection with the curb and side-
walk program as noted above. Motion carried.
6. Reported on curb and sidewalk program in areas where
property owners had been given 120 days' notice.
In December, 1964, under instruction by the Council, the City
Engineer's office notified a second group of property owners in blocks
where over 50% of curb and sidewalk improvements had already been made,
that it was the Council's intention to require the completion of such im-
provement in the block and advised the owners that a period of 120 days
would elapse before further action would be taken.
Upon the expiration of this 120 -day period, there remained 10
parcels on which no improvement had been made. These are now subject
to a 60-day notice to accomplish the required construction. Prior to the
mailing of a 60 -day notice, a public hearing must be held, and the property
owners notified in advance of the hearing. It was recommended that such
a hearing be set for June 28, 1965 at the Regular City Council Meeting.
Locations concerned are as follows:
201 Standard Street
317 Sheldon Street
216 Eucalyptus Street
434 W. Maple Ave.
212 Eucalyptus Street
803 Virginia Street
316 Maryland Street
615 W. Holly Ave.
507 E. Grand Avenue
308 and 312 Maryland Street

Motion was then made by Councilman Frederick, seconded by
Councilman Kimport, that public hearing regarding sidewalk improve-
ment program be set for June 28, 1965. Motion carried.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Councilman McElhaney stated that he felt that some serious
mistakes had been made in the method of conducting the recent public
hearings regarding the proposed 1955 -66 budget, and that he hoped some
valuable lessons had been learned by the Council so that these same
mistakes would not be repeated.
Firstly, he felt that while it was necessary to reduce the budget,
it was not proper that the Council should become involved in decisions
relating to small items of expenditures which are more properly handled
at the department head level with approval by the City Manager. His
feeling was that the City Manager and the Director of Finance are qualified
to make adjustments in the budget in order to bring the total expenditures
within the projected income and that matters of policy regarding the budget
could then be brought to the Council.
Councilman McElhaney objected to the extended public questioning
of department heads on department matters, as he felt this should have
been accomplished during the budget studies which preceded the public
hearings. He felt that employee morale had suffered greatly from the
procedures which had been followed. He further stated that he did not
feel that a department head's judgment should be challenged on matters
of equipment used in his department since he is the one qualified to make
a decision as to when a piece of equipment must be replaced. Councilman
McElhaney expressed the opinion that the City department heads are all
valuable men who do their jobs well and that the Council should have
enough faith in t'ci -lr judgment to accept their decisions in these matters.
Councilman Frederick concurred in the opinion of Councilman
McElhaney and added that he was very proud of the City employees and he
apologized for any part he might have had in the harassment of the depart-
ment heads which had taken place in the budget hearings.
He recommended that a new procedure be adopted for the budget
hearings in the future; that Councilmen be named to study the budget with
department heads concerned, these studies to be conducted privately, at
which time all items that can be cut from the budget will be done. He felt
this method would save a considerable amount of time and would also re-
turn the dignity of the department heads. He stated that he did not feel
that the Council should ever adopt the feeling that any department head
might conduct his operations in any manner other than in the best interests
of the City.
Mayor McGill denied that any harassment of department heads had
taken place during these hearings but stated that the department heads were
questioned on their budget in an effort to avoid an increase in taxes this
year.
Councilman McElhaney then stated that he did not feel that public
harassment of city employees could ever be justified, even in the name
of reducing taxes.
Mayor McGill then made a motion to return the budget to the City
Manager with a reaues, for a 2-1/2% decrease which would amount to
approximately $50, 000. 00 of the amended budget to -date: seconded by
Councilman Nagel and unanimously carried.
2. Regard`.rg the vacancy which now exists on the Recreation and
Parks Commission, motion was made by Councilman Frederick, seconded
by Councilman Nagel, that a notice be placed in the E1 Segundo Herald
that June 14, 1965 will be the dead'-*ne for receiving applications. Motion
carried.

3. Mayor McGill reported that a problem exists at the
recreation center baseball diamond where considerable portions of the
banks have washed out, causing a dangerous condition which could re-
sult in injuries to boys playing on the field. He stated that several
people have volunteered to do the work of correcting this situation and
it was decided to accept the offer and have this work done.
