SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS
President Sam Douglass, of the E1 Segundo School Board, expressed
his appreciation for the cooperation of those citizens who participated in the
General Election just passed, and presented certificates of appreciation to
these citizens.
Mayor pro tem Balmer requested City Manager Jones to give a report
on the Storm Drain Issue. Mr. Jones stated that the City Council at its
regular meeting held November 12, 1968, adopted a resolution calling for a
2. 5 million dollar storn drain Bond Election and set the date of the election
for February 25, 1969, and that this would complete the Master Plan of the
City's drainage facilities west of Sepulveda Blvd. north of E1 Segundo Blvd.
Dr. Odle reported that at the meeting of November 12, 1968, the
El Segundo School Board had voted to hold a 5 million dollar Bond Election
on February 25, 1969, which would provide remodeling of the High School,
develop an Instructional Research Center, accomplish necessary site work at
the Junior High School, as well as sound - proofing Imperial Street School,
establishing a permanent location for the Curriculum Materials Center, and
provide additional conference rooms and handball courts.
Mayor pro tem Balmer then opened the meeting for discussion of
Election administration. Af ter thorough discussion, it was agreed to hold
the Bond Elections together and to share the expense. It was further agreed
to consult with the Bond Attorneys, O'Melveny and Myers, as to the conduct-
ing of the Bond Election.
Mayor pro tem Balmer requested discussion of Election promotion at
this time. It was the consensus of the City Council and the School Board
that promotion of the two issues be done separately, but that close cooper-
ation be maintained; that the members be prepared to address interested
groups of citizens, and that Service Clubs in the City be contacted for support
in the coming election.
By general consent, City Manager Jones was instructed to cooperate
with Dr. Odle, of the E1 Segundo School District, and to make recommen da-
tion to the City Council regarding the manner of holding the Bond Election.
