recent marriage.

stitutional. Requested that the Council direct Staff to change the ruling so`as

principle and should be retained as part of the City's merit system and that
if neither of the parties voluntarily terminates, then one would be terminated'`
and placed on a rehire list for primary consideration for a position in another
department for which he or she qualifies.

might be desirable to give the Attorney for the Barkdulls an opportunity to
ascertain whether they would wish to make a request for leave of absence
pending a decision. Mr. Pringle stated that he would not recommend this
action to his clients.
After further discussion, City Council concurred that Section 31. 00 be
retained and a motion was made by Councilman Stephens, seconded by Council-

of 6. Advised that a Task Force had been set up consisting of the City and
County of Los Angeles, S.C. A. G., Southern California Division of League of
California Cities, Southern California Rapid Transit District, and District 7
of the California Department of Transportation to review the Environmental
Protection Agency's proposed Transportation Control Plan for Los Angeles
Air Quality Control Region. The Task Force had prepared a revised plan and
the County Board of Supervisors had requested that E1 Segundo consider the
Task Force's plan and indicate approval so that a united front of local juris-
dictions can present material to the EPA. Staff recommends approval of
this plan and further offers two additional recommendations which the Council
may wish to consider:
a) Recommend to the E. P.A. , League of California Cities, and our
Congressional representatives that a tax be imposed on automobiles
at the factory that would be based on the amount of emissions certi-
fied for each model by the E. P.A. High emission vehicles would
be penalized by higher taxes. The revenue from the tax would be
earmarked for development of rapid transit, research and enforce-
ment of pollution regulations.
b) Recommend to the League of California Cities and State Legisla-
tors that a California law be adopted that would cause vehicle
registration fees to be based on fuel consumption to be certified
for each model vehicle through tests conducted by the State.
Vehicles with poor gasoline mileage would be penalized by high
license fees.
Motion was made by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Mayor Balmer that
the Plan proposed by the aforementioned Task Force regarding the E. P. A. 's
Transportation Control Plan be approved and that the Council not accept the
two additional items recommended by Staff for inclusion in the Plan. Motion
carried.
7. Advised that SUA, Inc. , had submitted its final report on space and
facility needs for City Departments and recommended that a time be set for
review of this report with SUA representatives. By mutual consent, this
matter was set for consideration by the Council on the 14th day of August,
1973 at 6:00 o'clock p.m.
CITY CLERK MADE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Presented a claim against the City from Mr. Maurice R. Girardin
for vehicle damage sustained in an accident on July 22, 1973, and reported
that said claim had been referred to the City's insurance carrier.
Motion was made by Councilman McGill, seconded by Councilman
Stephens that the claim be denied and that the action of the City Clerk in
referring same to the insurance company be approved, ratified and confirmed.

2. Presented an ordinance amending the Uniform Building Code regula-
tions relating to the use of temporary buildings, trailers and structures in the
C, CM and M zones. Stated that presently there are no limitations on permit
extensions which can be granted by the City Council and the ordinance being
presented here does place a limitation upon the power of the City Council to
grant extensions.
After discussion by the Council, it was the general opinion that each case
should be judged on its own merits; that the power of the City Council was being
ursurped by this ordinance; some action should be taken to limit the time a
trailer can be used so it remains temporary rather than permitted from year
to year until it becomes permanent; and that it appeared this could be regulated
under the present ordinance.
The City Attorney offered three alternatives:
a) Develop standards under which Council will grant permits
b) Make provision for a definite temporary period, issue permit for
trailers or temporary buildings for that period, and after that time,
issue permits only in accordance with zoning procedures which re-
quire approval of the Planning Commission and the holding of a
public hearing
c) Consider use of trailers in CM and M zones only.
Mr. Charles Woodward, Hughes Aircraft Company, stated that the
relocatable modules at Hughes are considered as permanent structures and
not trailers.
Council requested Staff to furnish a comparative analysis of permanent
facilities as opposed to temporary facilities in cost tax -wise; that a survey
be made of regulations in other cities for temporary trailers and that guide-
lines be submitted to the Council.
By mutual consent, Council agreed that no changes would be made in
procedures at this time and that this matter be deferred until the next regular
Council meeting to be held August 21, 1973.
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS GLICKMAN MADE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
