A. Mr. Dennis Martin, 836 East Grand Avenue, referred to his letter to

amendments to the M -2 zone being a conflict of interest and handed out
pages from an FPPC bulletin for the Council's review. Asked that the
ordinance be rescinded.
Further, referred to Item 2 of the City Manager's agenda pertaining tc
business registration fees and asked citizens and staff to come to a
Cost Benefits Analysis meeting Wednesday night next week. Stated it
would give an opportunity to plan for the next year to have government
paid for by businessess. Also stated he thought the Mayor voting on
this item would present the same kind of conflict of interest as on
the zoning ordinance.
B. Mr. Charles La Fleur, 420 Richmond Street, advised that the U.S.
Constitution involves two entities, the government, with its 3 branches,
and the nation's citizenry. Stated it guards the law and order so the
citizens will have the freedom to exercise their rights given by the
Bill of Rights and Constitutional Amendments. Advised that citizens'
rights include the right to combine private property and assets to form
companies, said companies rights coming from shareholders. However,
through the years, some groups of people have tried to present ideas of
a third entity in government consisting of industry and business with
restricted rights, which is not contained in the Constitution.
Mr. La Fleur thanked the Council for being perceptive in recognizing
the rights of the people and willing to mitigate certain elements of
the M -2 zoning ordinance introduced at the last Council session, thus
protecting the private corporate rights and individual rights of the
owners, share holders, stock holders and other private entities in the
City.
C. Mr. Roger Siegal, 1022 Mariposa Avenue, spoke of seeking public
harmony in the community; that E1 Segundo should take the lead in
encouraging citizen involvement in the community.

ation, advised that on March 9, 1983, the company received a permit to
build two 24 -foot planter traffic islands, one on Nash and the other on
Douglas Street, which are now nearly completed. Stated had it been
known at the onset that the City would requite Continental to provide
indemnification and insurance for this project, it may have not pro-
ceeded with the project. Advised that the company would be in accord
with providing insurance, but asks that the indemnity clause be elim-
inated from the agreement. _

of interest of Mayor Bue in voting for amendments to the M -2 zoning
regulations.
Hearing no objections, the Mayor ordered the letter received and filed.
Mayor Bue commented that at the regular City Council meeting, held March 1,
1983, this subject arose and City Attorney Dolley advised that voting on
the M -2 zone changes would not be considered a conflict of interest on
the Mayor's part. The :'.ayor asked Mr. Dolley to confirm his opinion in
this regard.
Mr. Dolley advised he had reviewed Mr. Martin's letter and the changes
in the M -2 zoning ordinance, as well as the Fair Political Practices
Commission ruling cited by Mr. Martin. Stated it was his opinion the

with the various zones.

since Mr. Dolley had given an opinion that is a matter of public
record.

5. Report on Utility Undergrounding Program
Reported that potential locations for undergrounding programs were
discussed with the Southern California Edison Company area manager
and a field investigation was made of the locations suggested by the
Council:
Sepulveda Boulevard from El Segundo Blvd. to Rosecrans Ave.

the criteria established by the Public Utilities Commission and no
facilities exist on Main Street. Advised that the cost of underground -
ing is based on voltage, the higher the voltage the higher the cost, so
more work could be done in the lower voltage areas, so it appears consid-
eration might be given to undergrounding these areas.

of Main Street that would require costs to each resident.

Avenue seemed to be the most appropriate area for undergrounding, and
