FINE ARTS COMMITTEE. Councilman Nagel gave a summary of the activities of e ine its Committee todate, as follows: The Committee's principal activity has been the exhibition of art work in the Library, but they have expanded their activities to include other functions. Todate, 250 artists have been contacted, 36 artists have had their works displayed in the Library, 4 of whom have had 40 or more items displayed, for a total of 812 items. The approximate total value of displays is $100, 000, the Anton Grauel show being valued at $30, 000. Artists who have been contacted range in age from 12 through 70. Local press coverage has included 42 articles pertaining to the work of this Committee. Special activities have included: 1) reception for Anton C. Grauel held June 13, 1965 in this Library, which was attended by more than 100 people (first permanent gift of sculpture by Mr. Grauel for the Library was received by the City); 2) completed in a six -month period a 100 -item art exchange with our Sister City, Guaymas, Mexico; 3) assembled complete files and a scrapbook of all Committee activities for the year; 4) have followed up leads by decorators showing special interest in specific artists and several sales by students and professionals have resulted; 5) individual members have visited numerous gallaries, museums, art shows and special exhibits for the purpose of collecting information helpful for the future development of the fine arts in E1 Segundo. The Crocker Art Gallery in Sacramento has offered to send to E1 Segundo an exhibit of paintings by such masters as Rembrandt, if in- surance coverage is available. The Director of Fine Arts for the Long Beach Library System has offered his personal help in establishing the criteria for a permanent collection of fine arts for the E1 Segundo Library. Discussions have been held with library and museum directors in Vancouver, Canada, Houston, Texas, Little Rock, Arkansas and many nearby com- munities such as Palos Verdes, Downey and Pasadena. Material gathered by Councilmen attending cultural seminars in conjunction with the League of California Cities is being studied. Future possibilities include: 1) continued cooperation with the E1 Segundo Schools for the purpose of recognizing and encouraging artistic interest and development from the early grades through high school; 2) arranging special showings of students graduating from E1 Segundo High School who continue their art studies at higher levels; 3) sponsoring lecture, study and discussion groups designed to demonstrate the inter- -2- X 2000 relationship of art, music, literature and philosophy; 4) seeking displays of artistic photography and creative crafts; 5) arranging a tour of E1 Segundo homes possessing private fine arts collections; 6) arranging field trips to such events as the Laguna Art Festival; 7) displaying of industrial and commercial art associated with E1 Segundo's varied industrial concerns 8) developing of a patrons association similar to the successful group working in Walnut Creek, California; 9) development of an El Segundo annual invitational art festival for Library Park; 10) taking full advantage of available traveling shows assembled by California's leading museums and universities. The activities of the Fine Arts Committee have entailed the expenditure by the City of less than $150 for the year. Current displays include original paintings and drawings by Gary Vandenhende, featuring seascapes and industrial drawings. Gary is an E1 Segundo High School graduate whose entire art training has been received in E1 Segundo. Also currently on display is creative stitchery by Mrs. George Wiley. This display is a modern revival of a handcraft which is enjoying widespread interest and acceptance. A new City Hall exhibit of oils and watercolors by a well - known South Bay artist, Robert Hogan, will be on display later this week. The Council commended the Fine Arts Committee on an exceptionally fine job for the City. 2. PLANNING STUDY COMMITTEE. Councilman Nagel made a motion, seconded by Councilman F re Brick and unanimously carried, that the following report of the Planning Study Committee which was read, be accepted and the recommendations set forth therein be approved: The E1 Segundo City Council- appointed Planning Study Committee has met many times since its inception. The following guidelines were unanimously adopted: 1. To maintain and protect the integrity of the residential area. 2. To eliminate incorrect spot zoning. 3. To encourage the industrial and commercial development. It was decided to divide the City into three separate study areas for the sake of orderly discussion. These areas are: 1. Residential areas and including all areas within E1 Segundo Boulevard, Imperial Highway and Sepulveda Boulevard, but excluding that which :ronts on Sepulveda Boulevard, 2. Sepulveda Boulevard commercial area. 3. Area east of Sepulveda Boulevard, but excluding that which fronts Sepulveda Boulevard. This committee has unanimously adopted the following recommendations regarding the incorrect spot zoning within the study area #1. That the following properties be rezoned making them legal non - conforming properties which will have the right to enjoy the present use of the property as long as desired, but may not reconstruct or expand this present use. At such time as present improvements are removed; the property will take on its new zoning classification. M11 X 2001 These properties were originally zoned as they were used at that time and they must, at some time in the future, revert to the surrounding zoning in the interest of good planning and neighborhood uniformity. It is recommended that the following be referred to the Planning Commission for hearings and action: 1. Corner of Concord and E1 Segundo from present M -1 to P. 2. C -2 at Virginia and Mariposa to R. -3. 3. R -2 at Palm and Virginia to R -1. 4. R- 2 at Maple and Loma Vista to R -1. 5. P on Cedar between Imperial and Acacia to R -3. 6. R -3 on Mariposa between Richmond and Whiting to R -1. 7. R -2 on Oak between Main and Virginia to R -1. It is further recommended that the Planning Com- mission be directed to: 1. Study the possible alleviation of the C -2 problem on Imperial. 2. Study the possible uses of the Imperial Strip, such as parking, recreation, possible widening of (Old) Imperial. 3. Investigate and implement the granting of lot splits administratively in those areas where lots have already been split and possibility of other develop- ment is impossible or remote. Uniform require- ments should be formulated for desirable develop- ment. 4. Set abatement time for residential uses in manu- facturing zones. It is finally recommended that capital improvement funds be allotted in our next budget to face the high dirt bank of Imperial approximately at Sheldon Street with an attractive ground cover and some type of treatment which will improve and individualize what is now a deplorable weed patch on exhibit for all to see. Possibly stone or concrete blocks could be arranged to spell El Segundo or some arrangement of flowers or pattern. The Committee is continuing with a study of Sepulveda and recommendations will be made as soon as possible. " 3. NOISE ABATEMENT COMMITTEE. Councilman Nagel reported that at the last work action committee meeting at the airport on October 1, 1965, it was learned that negotiations are still under way with the developer of the Modul Accoustik sound suppressor. A briefing was given by the attorney for the airport as to why the original proposal could not be acted upon and the committee is now satisfied that the motives of the Airport Board in dealing with this problem were good. Effort is being made to obtain funding for this new development from the funds of the airline operators themselves since it was felt that they can operate with more flexibility than the City of Los Angeles can. Progress in this matter so far is encouraging and it is hoped that a final answer will be forthcoming at the next airport meeting on November 4. The matter of reduced power takeoff is still being pursued by the committee. Pacific Southwest Airlines has already utilized this approach with very remarkable success and the Committee has written them commending their efforts in this area, with copies to the other air- lines. The Airline Pilots Association has written to the Committee deploring the operation as unsafe and against FAA rules and even denying -4- X 2002 that PSA has used it. Further investigation revealed that, 1) it is not against FAA rules, 2) PSA is one of a few airlines whose pilots do not belong to ALPA, 3) the Safety Committee Chairman of ALPA has stated that reduced power takeoffs are more comfortable for the passengers, create less wear and tear on the engines, use less fuel and that every pilot who has tried it has felt that it was safer. Councilman Nagel further reported that Continental and Western Airlines are negotiating for Continental's use of Western's new engine test cell block which is adjacent to Sepulveda near the tunnel. If these negotiations are successful, one more noise source will be removed. This would handle all the overhauled engines that Continental now runs on an outside test cell before installing them on the airplane. These runs amount to 4 or 5 a week and are usually one -half to one hour in duration. Representative Charles H. Wilson of Inglewood has intro- duced HR -9849 and HR -7983 which concern noise problems. HR -9849 would authorize the Surgeon General to investigate health hazards which are caused by aircraft noise and HR-7983 would provide for research and determine criteria and means for abating objectionable aircraft noises. Some time ago, Council had passed a resolution asking the Federal Government to undertake a study to determine the effects of noise on people and determine safe limits for this noise, since there are no definite criteria established for what is harmful, which makes it impossible to legislate the problem. Councilman Nagel requested that everyone who is interested in this problem con- tact Mr. Wilson and all their representatives to impress upon them the importance of these bills. It was then moved by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman Frederick that the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo, California, urges the support of H. R. Bill No. 9849 which will authorize the Surgeon General to in- vestigate health hazards which are caused by aircraft noise, and H. R. Bill No. 7983 which will provide for re- search and determine criteria and means for abating objectionable aircraft noises; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk is authorized and directed to send certified copies of this resolution to the Honorable Alphonzo Bell and the Honorable Charles H. Wilson, Representatives in Congress. Carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Frederick, Kimport, Nagel and Mayor McGill; Noes: Councilmen None; Absent: Councilman McElhaney. Motion was made by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Council- man Frederick, that the Noise Abatement Committee be kept active for another year. Motion unanimously carried. Councilman Nagel reported that Mrs. Karl Barmore had asked to be relieved of her duties with the Noise Abatement Committee because of other obligations, and he requested that permission be granted to appoint Mr. Thomas Leal, 805 McCarthy Court, to fill the vacancy. Moved by Councilman Frederick, seconded by Councilman Kimport, that Mr. Thomas Leal be appointed to serve as a member of the Noise Abatement Committee, and that a certificate of appreciation be prepared and presented to Mrs. Barmore at the next regular Council Meeting to be held October 25, 1965. Motion carried. -5- X 2003 4. ACCOUNTING AWARD. Councilman Nagel reported that Director of Finance Weber had received honorable mention for his entry for the Municipal Accounting Award given at the League of Cali- fornia Cities meeting in San Francisco.

In the matter of improvement of Rosecrans Avenue -- Aviation Boulevard to Highland Avenue (Manhattan Beach), reported that the Los Angeles County Road Department had presented preliminary plans. These plans are designated as: Project No. 40979 - Aviation to Pine Avenue (Manhattan Beach) Project No. 41207 - Pine Avenue (Manhattan Beach) to Highland Avenue (Manhattan Beach) Property owners who are directly affected by this improvement had been contacted and no objections had been raised. Project No. 41207 contains alternate routes for the westerly connection to Highland Avenue. With regard to these alternate routes for the location of Rosecrans from Bell Avenue in Manhattan Beach to Highland Avenue in Man- hattan Beach, each of the two alternates would appear to be satisfactory to the City of E1 Segundo; they are of more importance to the City of Manhattan Beach. It is therefore believed that the City of E1 Segundo should signify its approval of either route. As to the relationship of the new right of way lines of the proposed project to the southerly boundary of E1 Segundo, from Aviation to Sepulveda the boundary is at the centerline of the finished highway and is satisfactory with regard to maintenance and police jurisdiction. From a line 170 feet westerly of Sepul- veda to a line about 1, 000 feet westerly of Blanche Road (Manhattan Beach) the southerly right of way line varies from 50 feet to 20 feet south of the boundary. The 50 -foot south location of the right of way line is satisfactory. The 20 -foot and 30 -foot south location places the E1 Segundo boundary at about the south curb line and near the south traveled lane line respectively, and is not considered satisfactory from a maintenance or policing standpoint. Mr. Webb called attention to the strip of land in E1 Segundo 30 feet wide and 800 feet long that will not be required for highway purposes on the divided highway plan labeled "A ". This will be private property of very limited use due to its location and dimensions, and consideration should be given to its disposal if it becomes available to the City of E1 Segundo. He recommended that the proposals of the Los Angeles County Road Department mentioned herein be approved. Motion was made by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman Kimport, that the preliminary plan of the Los Angeles County Road Depart- ment for the improvement of Rosecrans Avenue - Aviation Blvd. to Highland Avenue, as above set forth, be approved. Motion carried. 2. Presented for the Council's consideration a Grant Deed for perpetual easement and right of way for street purposes across certain real property at the southeast corner of Cypress Street and Acacia Avenue, owned by Corral G. and Marie E. Wellfonder, which deed was necessary for the construction of a radius in the sidewalk as requested by the property owners.

Wellfonder, dated M:11 X 2006 October 7, 1965, conveying to the City of E1 Segundo for public street purposes, the following described land, to wit: Beginning at the southeast corner of Lot 3, Block 103, E1 Segundo Sheet No. 3, Map Book 20, Pages 22 and 23, said point being on the center line of Cypress Street (40 feet wide) and 20 feet north of the center line of Acacia Avenue (40 feet wide); THENCE westerly along the south line of said Lot 3, 20 feet to the true point of beginning; THENCE westerly along the south line of said Lot 3, 5 feet to a point; THENCE northeasterly along a tangent curve concave to the northwest, said curve having a radius of 5 feet and central angle of 890 59' 50 ", a distance of 7. 85 feet to a point of tangency in the west- erly line of Cypress Street (40 feet wide); THENCE south- erly along the said westerly line of Cypress Street, 5 feet to the point of beginning, , be accepted, and the City Clerk directed to effect recordation of the same as prescribed by law.
