TOM ROBERTSON, 228 West Grand Avenue, being a request for secondary franchise for taxi service in the City of El Segundo. Dis- cussion regarding taxi service for El Segundo ensued during which time Mr. W. J. Cutbirth, Vice President of Yellow Cab CQ,mpany addressed the Council stating that his company has a policy of personally interviewing every complainant and that all the complaints received from El Segundo have been referred to the Traffic Manager for investigation. Mr. Cutbirth reported that all the dispatch facilities of Yellow Cab are consolidated in downtown Los Angeles in the General Offices. It was felt that this provided a more effective operation for the area served than would be provided by offices in each of the cities. Three cabs have been detailed to service El Segundo and these are supplemented by as many as are necessary. At the present time, 6076 of the taxicab fleet is radio dis- patched and the Company has received approval from the FCC for 4 clear -3- X 2206 channels which will allow 100% radio operation. Motorola has been given an invoice to radio equip the entire fleet of cabs and this should be done within 90 days. Mr. Cutbirth stated that he felt the Company was con- tinuing to improve its service in El Segundo. City Manager Sailors reported that the Police Department had been instructed to make the necessary investigations to document the com- plaints received. Mr. R. C. Long, President of the Chamber of Commerce, _ addressed the Council stating that the Chamber is willing to help by obtaining reports from the various industries in the City as to any complaints which they may have concerning taxi service. Councilman McElhaney noted that Mr. Tom Robertson's request for secondary franchise included a suggestion to limit the number of cabs which could be used by each franchise holder. Since the City would not be in a position at the present time to limit the number of cabs, Councilman McElhaney asked Mr. Robertson if he would be interested in a secondary franchise without the limiting provision and Mr. Robertson replied that he would not. Councilman Frederick suggested that, if the Council intends to document complaints for the purpose of breaking a franchise, that a minimum of 6 months be granted. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that a monthly report be submitted and the City Manager was instructed to submit a report of documented complaints, along with Yellow Cab Company's report of follow -up at the first regular City Council meeting of each month. 8. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, being a request for a franchise for a term of fifty (50) years, for pipelines and appurtenances and a communication system to be used in connection with said pipelines. City Engineer Bilsborough recommended that his office be authorized to work with the Edison Company and the City Manager to recommend a form of franchise � to the Council at a later date. Motion was made by Councilman McElhaney, seconded by Councilman Nagel and unanimously carried, that authority be granted to the City Manager and the City Engineer to meet with representatives of the Southern California Edison Company and make recommendations to the Council at a later date concerning a franchise for the Edison Company. 9.

Motion was made by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman McElhaney that the recommendations of the Pipeline Franchise Committee, as set for above, be accepted as City policy. Motion carried. 2. PUBLIC INFORMATION COMMITTEE. Councilman McElhaney reported that after several meetings, the committee recommended the establishment of a public information program in order to improve communi- cation between the citizens and the Council, and City departments. This program would consist of a month 2y newsletter which would go to all citizens and would include all news releases which would be sent to the local newspapers and other communication media. The committee further recommended that Mrs. Barbara Lee Mack be contracted with in this capacity at a salary of $425 per month; that the City print the releases on its own printing equipment; that the City supply the ne- cessary photographs and that mailing and printing costs be absorbed by the City. This would be a trial program, to be reviewed at the end of six months to determine whether or not A should be continued. The approximate total cost for this program for six months would be $5000. During the time Mrs. Mack is under contract to the City in this capacity, she would not write for any other publication except that of the School District as she is presently doing. Motion was made by Councilman McElhaney, seconded by Council- man Carr, that the recommendations of the PubLc Information Committee as set forth above, be accepted.

Councilman Nagel reported that with t e a vent of the supersonic transports, the residents of this City will be exposed to approximately 2 -1/2 times the intensity of noise which they now endure and that this noise level is very close to what medical experts consider dangerous to health. It had been hoped that the use of the north runway at the airport might give some relief to El Seg- undo, but it has been learned that this use has been restricted out of consideration for the residents of Westchester and Playa del Rey, (who are voters of Los Angeles City. ) Airport operations are attempting to obtain legislation to make it possible for them to rezone the noise - affected areas to commercial use. They desire to get state legislation to set up an area - wide planning commission which would be controlled by the airport. They want to set up a committee consisting of nine representatives selected at random by the Mayor of Los Angeles from cities in Los Angeles County. This committee could conceivably consist of representatives from cities far enough removed frorn the airport as to have no real interest in noise abatement. For these reasons the El Segundo committee is intensifying its efforts to resist the introduction into service at Los Angeles International Airport of any airplane which would exceed present noise levels and to attempt to influence operational techniques which vo uld make the present airplanes more acceptable. Councilman Nagel reported that he had asked to be allowed to address the Los Ange- Airport Commission at its next meeting on October 5 to present El Segundo's on these matters. -5- X 2208 REPORTS OF OFFICERS CITY MANAGER SAILORS MADE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS: 1.
