That the City Council address a letter of appreciation to Mr. Lorenzo Tedesco for his brochure of a proposed Civic Center for the City of Redlands. It was uaanimously agreed that the City Attorney be directed to prepare a resolution of commendation to be presented to Mr. Tedasco over the signatures of the Council members. The City Attorney to prepare such resolution by the mext Council meeting. 2. To reiterate to the City Council the Planning Commission provision as made and recommended at their November 13, 1956 meeting with reference to Tract No. 54112, Gordon Fields, Item 2, Planning , Commission recommendations, "Install 6 foot high solid masonryrwall on rear lot lines of all lots backing up to the railroad and 60 ft. flood control easement." Mr. Fields again addressed the Council with objections to Item 2, Planning Department recommendations and to Item 12, Engineering Department recom- mendations. After some discussion Mr. Fields agreed to Item 2 and offered to share the cost of widening the bridge at Sylvan and Judson as required in Item 12, by the posting of a check for $1,000.00 to cover his share of this work. It was moved by Councilman Hooper, seconded by Councilman Wilson, and carried, that Tract No. 5442 be approved with provisions as set forth in the minutes of the Planning Commission and that the City accept Mr. Field's offer of $1,000.00 to be applied on the cost of widening the bridge. 3. Resolution R.P.C. No. 117, a resolution for adoption of Amendment No. 8 to Zoning Ordinance No. 1000, a proposed amendment for the purpose of adding requirements relating to the parking of motor • vehicles, or parts thereof, incapable of movement under their own power, and the parking of house trailers, boats or boats on trailers, in the City of Redlands, presented and approved by the Council on motion of Councilman Hooper, seconded by Councilman Parker. Ordinance No. 1045, an ordinance of the City of Red- lands amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1000, introduced by Attorney Taylor, detailed first reading unanimously waived, and laid over under the rules with public hearing thereon set for January 8, 1956. At a regular Council meeting of November 20, 1956 the request for Council approval of Tentative Map of Tract No. 55112, Wells Fulton, owner, had been tabled for further study after Mr. Fulton's protest ' against Items 3, 6 and 7, Engineering Department recommendations. The Council members reported that they had inspected this area and there was further study of the map. The provision that sidewalks be installed was strongly protested, as that 300 feet of walk would be the only sidewalk along the entire street and would use an area now in common use as a bridle path. Planning Director Conner pointed out that the Zoning Ordinance calls for sidewalks in any development within one-half mile of an existing or proposed • 217 • school site, which would bring this tract within the radius of the South Avenue school to be constructed in the near future. Manager Workman pointed out that while this is within the one-half mile school area it is a rural type development. Mr. Conner also reminded the Council that to waive this provision is to establish a precedent and that other owners and subdividers would find similar excuses to request i variances to the ordinance. Engineer Johnson informed the Council that if sidewalk requirements are waived the area should be graded to sidewalk level. Attorney Taylor said that in his opinion this variance would not establish a precedent. Councilman Parker felt that as it is the one-half mile school radius, foot traffic would naturally increase and sidewalks be needed. After the long discussion it was moved by Councilman Wilson that Tentative Map of Tract No. 5542 be approved with all provisions as set forth in the minutes of the Planning Commission with the exception of Item 3, Engineering Department • recommendations, and with the added provision that the south end of the property be graded to sidewalk level.

This offer was made with the request that if and when the grove having been served by this water should be subdivided these shares would be accepted by the City to meet the requirements of Ordinance No. 988, water stock acquisition. Manager Workman informed the Council that his office and Water Superintendent Jones had checked this offer and that the asking price of $250.00 per share is too high, but that they could see no objection to accepting this water in advance of sub- division if price were right. After some discussion, Councilman Romo moved that the City Manager be authorized to offer $100.00 per share with said stock to apply on requirements at time of subdivision, and that Manager Workman ascertain the owner's intention relative to the grove when it is no longer • irrigated and kept up, whether the trees will be removed when dead or allowed to become unsightly as well as a fire and pest hazard. Councilman Hooper seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Planning Director Conner brought up the problem of many groves around the City which have been allowed to die pending proposed subdivision development, and suggested that consideration be given some type of ordinance which would require the removal of trees when water stock was sold to the City. Fire Chief Rundberg concurred in this suggestionwith the added thought that dead and abandoned groves constitute a pest problem to surrounding healthy groves as well as being a fire hazard.

Merritt was appointed Director of Finance for the time being, effective January 17, 1957. Motion carried unanimously. • Mayor Lamm at this time read a communication from Roland Tornquist, San Bernardino County Tax assessor, relative to the assessment * and collection of Redlands City property taxes by the County as opposed to the present local assessment and collection. Mr. Tornquist pointed out that Redlands is the only city in San Bernardino County which still administers its own tax collection, that the complex IBM system put into operation by the County this year makes it impossible to get an accurate roll for Red- lands before August 1st of the tax year, and the approximate cost of said roll would be $444.00. This matter of local administration of property taxes has been discussed many times but, as was pointed out 111 by Councilman Romo, previous discussions did not show the difficulty of obtaining an accurate tax roll from the county. City Clerk Whaley stated that while he still strongly favored local administration, it would be impossible if an accurate roll could not be obtained from the Councy early enough for local billing. Ordinance No. 1049; an ordinance of the City of Redlands transferring the assessment and taxation • duties now performed by the City of Redlands to the County of San Bernardino was introduced at this time by Councilman Romo, seconded by Councilman Hooper, Detailed first reading was waived by unanimous 2 • 5-1 roll-call vote ,and the ordinance laid over under the rules. CITY MANAGER Manager Workman requested Council authorization to execute a new contract with Roy V. Shutt, Calimesa, California, for the collection of garbage from down-town Redlands, said contract on same basis as last year, and to be for 1957.

Attorney Taylor said that he had checked this proposal and found it proper. The request of et the Building Inspector was then approved on motion of Councilman Romo, seconded by Councilman Hooper, et and unanimously carried. MISCELLANEOUS Mayor Lamm suggested that an award for service be posthumously made to Mr. Harry J. Moulton in recognition of his years of service as a member of the Planning Commission of the City.

Questioned by the Council, Mr. Colley stated that; first, the cost of capping the open storm 111water ditch and bringing the site up to grade would approximate $20,000.00; second, that the City has no need of the property for public use nor plans to develop it and no funds earmarked for such improve- ment; and third, the sale of the property would put it on the tax roll and mean added revenue for the • City. Mr. Colley informed the Council that it was the opinion of the Engineering Department that the sale of the property would best serve the public interest in that it would provide for the convenience safety and welfare of said City, especially from the standpoint of covering a deep open flood channel. Manager Workman concurred in the findings of the Engineering Department, stating that it is in the best public interest, that the City had been unable to dispose of this property before and that the sale of this propety would make the improvement of this intersection possible.

Mr. White informed the Council that he had been unable to obtain the required water stock and on that basis the Water Superin- • tendent had recommended denial. Mr. Jones said also that maps indicate a two-inch line in this area 891 • which would make any additional service not practical from the pressure standpoint. Mr. White informed the Council that he was fairly sure the line was a three-inch one. The Council suggested that Mr. White and and the Water Department confer on the possibility of obtaining water stock and that a check be made of the size of the line.

Mrs. Roland Kavalaar suggested that this corner might need a three-way signal. There being no protests or objections to this closing, the public hearing was de- clared closed. Councilman Parker then moved that, based on the failure of any person to protest or that the north end of Cajon Street make objection and all evidence submitted to this Council - as described in Resolution No. 881 - is unnecessary for present or prospective public street purposes, that this Council make a finding to that effect and order the vacation of the part of Cajon Street so described. Motion was seconded by Council- man Martinez and carried unanimously.

Mr. Johnson stated that the work would be permanent except for en- trances and exits, which might have to be changed. Manager Workman said that multilevel parking was not under consideration for this lot because of its size. Councilman Parker then moved that the City Manager and the City Engineer be instructed to transfer the necessary funds from the parking meter fund and to proceed as rapidly as possible with this street closing and the development of the the parking lot on the east one-half of the proposed parking lot west of Cajon Street and south of Citrus Avenue.

Whaley City Clerk �� fir ///( Mayo of the City of e ands, California -U-U-u-O-O-0-0-0- Redlands, California • October 1, 1957 7:00 o'clock P.M. A regular meeting of the City Council, City of Redlands, held at thexegular place of meeting. I Present: Councilmen Martinez, Ward, Burroughs, Parker and Mayor Wilson; City Attorney Taylor, City Clerk Whaley, City Manager Workman and Deputy Clerk Soper. Absent: None The meeting was opened with the pledge of allegiance, followed by the invocation by Elder R. G. Mote, Seventh Day Adventist Church. I A motion was regularly made and seconded that; the members of the Council having previously exa- mined the record of the minutes of the last meeting that the reading of the minutes be dispensed with and same be approved. BIAS As this was the time set for opening of bids for the construction of a building to house electric • switch gear at the Texas Street pumping facility, the following bids were publicly opened and declared: 99� • From: M. W. Hahn Redlands $2,364.00 Forsberg and Gregory Redlands 4,638.00 These bids were referred to the Manager's office and the Water Superintendent for study. Later in the meeting the recommendation w as returned that the bid of M. W. Hahn, being the lowest and meeting all specification, be accepted. This recommendation approved on motion of Councilman Martinez, seconded by Councilman Burroughs. ORAL PETITIONS Mr. C. D. DeWitt, 929 East Brockton Avenue, addressedthe Council at this time with a petition for waiver of the $35.00 fee for application to the Planning Commission for a variance to the Building Code to permit the remodeling of a rear structure on the property to be used as a rental. Mr. DeWitt informed • the Council that he had purchased the property after being informed by a member of the Building Insepc- I tion Department that, although the building was on the property line, as long a no windows were installed on that side, there would be no objection to its use as a rental. However, when Mr. DeWitt applied for CO a permit to do the remodeling he was told that he would have to go through the Planning Commission for a variance. Because Mr. DeWitt feels that he was eeRoneously informed by the person who made the firstll! Ct osp Q inspection and purchased the property on the strength of that information, he feels that the fee for the variance should be waived, although he agrees to go through the Planning Commission for the necess- ary hearing and is willing to comply with all provisions of the Building and Planning Departments. Be- cause it was felt that Mr. DeWitt had acted in good faith and as the employee who made the original inspection could not remember exactly what was said at that time, it was moved by Councilman Burroughs that the $35.00 fee for the filing of petition for variance be waived. Motion seconded by Councilman 'I Parker and carried unanimously. CARPORTS OR GARAGES FOR PUBLIC HOUSING II An appeal by the County Housing Authority for variance to the zoning ordinance requirement for car- ports or garages for residential property had been brought to the Council meeting of September 17, 1957, after denial by the Planning Commission. Action was tabled until after the League of California Cities Convention, with two of the Council members asked to check on how this problem had been handled in other communities. Councilmen Ward and Martinez brought the information that no definite answer could be obtained because of varying circumstances in different cities. However, the petition was thoroughly • checked by the City Attorney with the conclusion as follows, quote: The County Housing Authority is not required to install garages or carports in low-rent housing projects constructed pursuant to approval given by the City Council in 1950 for development of 140 units. The Cooperation Agreement and enabling resolutions under which the County now plans to proceed in building 45 units stems from action originally taken by the City Council in 1950. Redlands had not enacted legislation requiring carports or garages in residential districts during ' that year. The provision for garages or carports simply was not in effect when approval was given the integrated, long-range housing program, of which the current 45 unit project is a part. Therefore, today's legal requirement of garages and carports does not apply to a program dating from 1950. By resolution on February 23, 1950, the City Council approved the County Housing Authority's application for loans to build 140 units. In the Cooperation Agreement of the same date, the Council agreed to the construction of 75 units at that time leaving 65 units to be built later. In 1956 the City Council resolution merely reaffirmed the need for housing and approved execution • of another Cooperation Agreement. This agreement for 45 units has the legal effect of reverting back Ioo • ______________________ to the 1950 contracts with the Public Housing Administration for the development of the 140 dwelling I I units. This opinion is confined to the program for 140 housing units, which will be completed with con- , struction of 65 more units, and should not be construed as holding that low-rent housing is less subject' to zoning provisions than other types of land development. The City Council has no legal duty to make a finding now on the question of whether low-rent public housing is desirable or undesirable. That II �` � policy question was determined by the past City Councils, in 1950 when the program was initiated, and in 1956, when it was reaffirmed. " Unquote. Considerable discussion arose relative to the need for any Council action. Mr. Clare H. Day said that the Housing Authority were aware of the original agreement but had hoped to have the sanction of • the Planning Commission and the City Council and had even tried unsuccessfully to get approval for car- I ports from federal authority. The following motion was then made by Councilman Martinez: Inasmuch as � I the Cooperation Agreement and enabling resolutions under which the County Housing Authority now plans to proceed in building 45 units are based upon action originally taken by the City Council in 1950, 1 before carports or garages were required by ordinance, I move that the authority shall be permitted Ito construdt the 45 units without carports or garages. Motion was seconded by Councilman Burroughs and (I carried with the following roll-call vote: 11, AYES: Councilmen Martinez, Ward, Burroughs, Parker and Mayor Wilson NOES: None ABSENT: None PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS ' At a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Redlands held September 24, 1957, the following recommendations were submitted to the City Council: A.

The office of the City Manager had presented a request at the last Council meeting for authorization I to expand the yearly audit to cover a monthly reconciliation of cash accounts and a quarterly audit report., This request had been tabled for further study and was now brought up for consideration. It was pointed out that if the work was done by the Director of Finance it would necessitate added help for that office; which would be more costly than the $50.00 per month it would cost for such a running audit by the firm 11, now doing the City's work. Councilman Ward asked whether thare was any advantage in the present warrant • , system over a checking account system. The management agreed to make a thorough check of this and report? to the Council.

After th4discussion, Councilman Parker j. moved that, in order to arrive at a more equitable distribution of funds allocated for salary increases, II the City Manager make arrangements with the company of his choice for such a survey at the approximate ii !1 cost of $1800.00.

A regular meeting of the City Council, City of Redlands, held at the regular place of meeting. Present: Councilmen Martinez, Parker, and Mayor Wilson; City Clerk 4lhaley, City Manager Workman, and Deputy Clerk Soper. Absent: Councilmen Ward and Burroughs and Attorney Taylor. The meeting was opened with the pledge of allegiance, followed by the invocation by Reverend Lawrence Sellers, State Street Christian Church. ORAL PETITIONS John Collier, 926 East Brockton Avenue, petitioned the Council for permission to keep three working ! • does in the fenced back yard of his home. This is a live animal project essential for credit in an agri-1 cultural course at the Redlands High School, Future Farmers of America. A written petition signed by all near neighbors supported Mr. Collier's request, and Mr. R.C. Dietrick, Agriculture Director, Redlands Schools, explained the purpose of the project. CNB et Because this is a residential zone, variance to the zoning ordinance would be necessary for this et permit. While the Council was in complete sympathy with the request, it was felt that approval for variance to the ordinance would establish a precedent and open the way for less worthy or desirable petitions of similar nature. District Sanitarian Elkins said that he felt the project had merit and that it probably would cause no trouble. After considerable discussion, the request was tabled until the next meeting when there should be a full Council, with Mr. Collier directed to try to arrange for space for his project with one of the nearby chicken ranchers, whose property is zoned for agriculture. ii PLANNING COMMISSION REC@'IMENDATIONS_ At a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Redlands held October 8th, 1957, II the following recommendations were submitted to the City Council: A.

At the time of the original agreement, all but approximately 30 lots were developed., it Subdivider now plans to complete development and asks that remaining services be installed under rates I II and charges quoted in 1954. No Water Department or City Council has ever agreed to serve water at other i; than current rates and charges.

On motion of Councilman Parker, Manager Workman was authorized to proceed with the acquisition of • the necessary parking meters needed for the Triangle parking lot now in process of construction. MISCELLANEOUS The Council discussed at some length the proposal made several months ago by the County Board of Supervisors to locate a proposed building to house all County offices in the City of Redlands in a 00 C4 Civic Center if the ,City will provide two city lots adjacent to any proposed location, said lots to be cc L . R used for parking. The City Manager stated that no funds were available unless the City could arrange to make such a purchase under s lease purchase agreement. Councilman Parker said that he would oppose the spending of any city funds for lots for county parking as long as money is so badly needed for repair of city streets. It was pointed out that the City already has one lot on Eureka Street which might be used in negotiating with the County. Mayor Wilson will confer with Harold Zenz and report back to Council at next meeting. Mayor Wilson, Chairman of the City-County Coordinating Committee, asked the opinion of this Council relative to having an impartial study made by an outside source in the matter of sharing of sales taxes between cities and counties.

Councilman Ward pointed out that this would be mere subterfuge and If • ; it L { 1111 411 that he felt that Resolution No. 895 clearly indicated the opinion of the Council. Councilman Parker felt that it might be wise to spend a small amount more of it would held assure the water needed.

No action taken by the Council on the Chamber's request. li PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS I At a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Redlands held November 12, 1957, the following recommendations were submitted to the Redlands City Council: • A. Variance No. 53 - C. D. De Witt That the request of C.D. DeWitt for variance from the provisions of Section 18.40 (Property Development Standards) fo Zoning Ordinance No. 1000 to permit the conversion of an existing garage-studio -. now located approximately on the property line - into a residence, be denied OJ CV for reasons set forth in the minutes of a regular meeting of the Planning Commission dated November 12, 1957. Property located at 918 East Brockton Avenue. Mr. De Witt addressed the Council in an appeal from the denial as recommended by the Planning Commission. He pointed out that a public hearing had brought no protests or objections and that he had purchased the property as an investment after being assured by a member of the Building Inspection Department staff that the structure would comply with existing regulations as long as no windows were installed on the property line side of the building. It was when Mr. DeWitt applied for a permit to remodel the building that the question of its location on the side property line came up. Councilman Parker stated that there appears to have been a reasonable misunderstanding between the DeWitts and the Inspection Department at the time the property was considered for purchase. Mayor Wilson said that he had inspected the location and could find no reason for not granting the variance. After the lengthy discussion, on motion ofCouncilman Parker, seconded by Councilman Martinez, Variance No. 53, variance to Section 18-40, Zoning Ordinance No. 1000 (as amended) was unanimously approved by the City Council.

Builders That the tentative map of Tract No. 5791, located on the east side of San Mateo Street between • Cypress Avenue and Clifton Avenue be approved subject to all of the recommendations of the Planning Commission as contained in said Commission's minutes dated November 12, 1957. Mr. Dick Montgomery, representing B & N Builders, addressed the Council relative to some of the provisions, stating that under these requirements, particularly those of the Engineering Department, it would make improvements so costly ( approximately $2695.00 per lot) that it would be impossible for his company to go ahead with their plane. Councilman Burroughs stated that he felt that the Council concurred in the feeling that provisions as set forth by the 1' various departments were for the over-all longe range good of the City and should not be relaxed. 1I He then moved that action on this recommendation be tabled until the next meeting, with the suggestion that perhaps the subdivider and the various departments can reach an agreement satis;� factory to both. Motion seconded by Councilman Martinez and carried unanimously. C.

Mr. Workman asked the views of the Council relative to preparing these lists and charging a nominal fee for the service. The City Attorney stated that, as all records of the City must be open to the public at any time, requests to get the material from to records could not be denied.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS At an adjourned meeting of the City Council held December 23, 1957, the Council approved an increasel in water rates and charges with the understanding that funds accrued by such increase be allocated for use against the expense of the Orange County Water suit and for Capital Outlay. At this tine Mayor Wilson appointed Councilman Ward, Attorney Taylor, Finance Director Merritt and Water Superintendent Jones to work as a committee responsible for establishment of such reserve fund. Ordinance No. 1084, an ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1000, pre- IIIsented for second reading and public hearing at this time. Mayor Wilson declared the meeting open as a public hearing for the purpose of hearing any protests or objections to this zone change. Mr. Imhoff, owner of the building in the area requesting re-zoning, informed the Council that he was still unable to obtain the additional land required for off-street parking, one of the provisions of the Planning Com- 00 mission as set forth in their minutes of December 10, 1957. No other comment being forthcoming the C9 et public hearing was declared closed. Attorney Taylor read the ordinance in detail for the second time but Council took no vote on its adoption until such time as the provisions for off-street parking are complied with. NEW BUSINESS At this tine the matter of either extending or terminating the Courtesy Parking Plan was brought up ;I for consideration. Speaking for the extension of the Plan until such time as the Citrus Avenue Parking lot is completed were John H. Cenkner, Herbert Bell, Paul Schaefer aid Leonard Harder. Hartley Hillsen, for the Lion's Club, originators of the plan, advised the Council that the Club would be agreeable to whatever the Council thought best. Mrs. Ruth Cranmer stated that abuses of the Courtesy Plan were slowing the acquisition of needed off-street parking and asked for a comparison report on revenue before and since the plan went into effect. Police Chief Bowen said that proper enforcement of time limits on meters was impossible under the plan and that a one-day check revealed that 251 hours of meter parking was used as storage parking. Chief Bowen feels that parking time in the downtown area should be for turn-' over and that this is being defeated by the Courtesy Plan which in reality allows three hours of meter parking. Attorney Taylor, in answer to a question from Councilman Parker, said that the City was pro- ", ceeding as rapidly as possible toward the completion of the Citrus Avenue parking lot with the present time-table scheduling completion in approximately six months. After the long discussion, Councilman Parker moved that the Courtesy Parking Plan be discontinued effective midnight January 31, 1958; that the meters in the five blocks downtown area remain as they are and that the fine for violation of parking ; tine be $1.00. Motion was seconded by Councilman Martinez and carried unanimously. Councilman Burroughs told the Council that Lloyd Hulbert, owner of a lot on East State Street which he had allowed to be used for temporary parking during the Christmas season, might be interested in an 1 offer to take over the lot for storage parking use. Council suggested that Mr. Hulbert might interest a merchant or group of merchants in this plan. No action by the Council. On motion of Councilman Parker, seconded by Councilman Burroughs, and carried, the City Clerk was authorized to call for bids for an electric motor starter for Well No. 30 of the Texas Street pumping facility.

This proposal brought forth lengthy comment. Chief of Police Bowen reported that it would !(' ! take 50 50 fine boxes, placing one in each block on each side of the streets in the metered zones, at an [ approximate cost of $775.00 for the boxes, plus the cost of printing the tickets, a total initial outlay III I hof $1,125.00. The Police Chief told the Council the boxes world be emptied once each day and receipts ;, turned over to the City Treasurer daily. Mrs. Ruth Cranmer protested the proposal from two angles: First ! the expenditure of such a sum at a time when the City's finances are low and second, the unsightly appear h lance of yellow boxes scattered throughout the area. Councilman Ward favors the plan but thought that 25 il, I ! boxes might be adequate.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS 00 C3 The matter of making any rebate on unused portions of three year bicycle registration fees was dis- c cussed with comments by Police Chief Bowen. It was pointed out that the registeration is to a large 4 degree for the owner's protection in order to help restore stolen or lost bicycles; that the City reali- zed practically no revenue over the cost of collection; and that he felt that the three year fee of $1.50 was very nominal. He asked that the Council give considerable thought before making any change in the present system. No action was taken by the Council.

ORAL PETITIONS Mr.Horace Hinckley, Chairman of the San Bernardino Valley Flood Control District, addressed the Council relative to Zone 3 of the District. He stated that this seems to be the logical time to ask for a division of the district, separating Highland, East Highlands and Patton, (or the entire area north of the river), from the Redlands district. This action would result in a lower flood control tax rate for Redlands, Yucaipa and Loma Linda. Donald S.C. Anderson stated that this separation had been consid- ered back in 1952 but because of' various control projects under way it seemed inadvisable to separate the areas for tax purposes at that.time. ,State legislation is necessary to divide the zone. The City I • Council went on record in approval 6f the recommendation of Mr. Hinckley, referring the matter to Attorney Taylor for preparation of the necessary resolution.

He asks that said rules I and regulations be enforced in order to protect his property from serious erosion by rains. This petition was referred to the Building Department and theCity Engineer. Mr. Sam Wirz spoke to the Council relative to a claim against the City for damages in the amount of $618.39. This is asked as compensation for damage incurred to his residence at 1005 Occidental Drive when a sewer line backed up in the street. Mr. Wirz cites total damage in the amount of $1512.17, of whicht $891.07 has been paid by his insurance company. Manager Workman read a report from the City Engineer detailing the trouble, The City Manager pointed out that the could not be held responsible • for acts of vandalism to city property by persons unknown, stating that a program is vigilantly 140 • maintained to keep sewer lines free from tree roots, etc. Mayor Wilson suggested that this claim of Mr. Wirz's be given further study after meeting with Mr. Beale, the insurance adjuster who handled the insurance claim for Mr. Wirz. Both the Council and Mr. Wirz were agreeable to this proposal. ' �i II Mr. J.S. Kubias, 83 Eureka Street, addressed the Council in protest to a proposed change in Traffic Regulations which would remove the two-hour parking time limit on Eureka Street between Brookside ' and Olive Avenues, thereby permitting all day parking. Residents living on that street say that all IIday parking frequently keeps them from getting into their own driveways. The Council agreed that the S two-hour time limit should remain in this block, with the hope that parking problems for people who work downtown may be solved when the new parking lots are in operation. COMMUNICATIONS • The following communications were presented and read: From the League of California Cities, newsletter relative to the Annual League Conference. From the Southern California Edison Company, franchise report for 1957 in the amount of $ 5,337.45ii Manager hbrkman brought the Council a communication from the Redlands Community Hospital concerning the extension of 280 feet of sewer line to connect its new hospital wing to the existing line in Terracina Boulevard. The City Engineer has requested that this line be laid in the street rather than ul 1 on private property as this would extend sewer service some 280 feet further south, making it closer to , other properties which will need the service in the future. The Hospital is willing to lay the line in the street with larger size sewer pipe if the City will participate in the cost on a 50-50 basis. It is the recommendation of the City Engineer that the City participate in this extension so that future line extension will be less costly and more private may be served later. On motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Parker, this recommendation of the City Engineer was unanimously approved by the City Council. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS At a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held February 25, 1958, the following recommenda- tion was submitted to the City Council: 1 A. Lot Split No. 183 - W.B. Molony That the request of W. B.

Mr. Yates has kept bees atthese locations for a number of years. Hower, because of the growth and expansion of the City, withrseveral new residential tracts fairly close to these locations, numerous U protests have been received by the City. Mr. Bledsoe has stated that he does not want the stands located on his property hereafter. As this is apparently betoming a greater problem each year, it was moved by Councilman Parker, seconded by Councilman Ward, that this application to keep bees on the south side of Highway 99 3/4 mile beyond the City Reservoir be denied. Motion carried unanimously. UNFINISHED BUSINESS From the City Manager, the following report and recommendation relative to outside water service for J. W. Register, Beaumont Avenue, west of Redlands: "Wednesday afternoon, February 26, 1958, • Councilman Ward, Pete Merritt and I met with Mr. Register and discussed this problem. We are persuaded that Mr. Register purchased this property on Beaumont Street in San Timeteo Canyon having full confi- dence that the City would serve him with a water connection. He very honestly admits that John Jones did not make any statement that could be interpreted as a commitment (in the strict sense and interpre- 00 Cg tction of the word) . But the three of us do believe that it was Mr. Register's understanding that he Co `i would be served and that it was the natural result of this understanding that led him to purchase the property and enter into a loan contract for the purpose of building a home. Mr. Register further states that he saw no publicity or announcement in the paper that the Council intended to adopt regulations prohibiting water connections outside the City. Apparently, the time of his first knowledge of this condition was when he contacted the Water Department subsequent to the change in Council policy". After some discussion, the Council, on motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Burroughs, approved water service at this location for Mr. Register, for the residence property only and subject to all of the existing rules and regulations of the Water Department. Motion carried unanimously. CITY MANAGER Manager Workman presented Resolution No. 931, a resolution of the City of Redlands authorizing the City Manager to execute necessary papers for the purpose of purchasing surplus material from the Civil Defense.

Louis Fletcher spoke on behalf of • the annexation and letters of approval from Donald J. Seldeen, Wesley Ray, Emma Haberman and Thomas Nash were presented. The protestants, chiefly poultry raisers from the surrounding area, felt that such a spot annexation would open the door to future requests for annexations and zone changes which CO might be detrimental to agriculture. Attorney Taylor pointed out that by law property could be annexed Cil CO unless 51 per cent of the property owners within the area to be annexed objected. The one property R Q owner within the area, Carl Rundberg, had petitioned for the annexation and zone change tb .clear the way for sale of the land to Fletcher's Planing Mill.

Mr. James Schriver, on behalf of Colton Chapter, Disabled American Veterans, petitioned the Council to reconsider the denial of permission to conduct a 'Queen' contest in the City of Redlands.

At the Council meeting of April 1, 1958, Mrs. Mildred Fairchild presented a petition signed by five property owners requesting a tax adjustment because these property owners felt that there had been inequities in assessments. This petition had been submitted to the County Tax Assessor and to the Board of Supervisors. In addition, the petition asked the City Council to appoint a Citizens Committee to act as a Board of Equalization in matters of tax assessments. At that time the Council took the petition under advisement. Mayor Wilson now stated that the Council was ready to discuss the request further. It was pointed out to Mrs. Fairchild that it was the privilege of any individual • taxpayer who felt dissatisfied with his assessment to appear before the Board of Supervisors, sitting ' as a Board of Equalization once each year, or to request a reappraisal from the Assessor. Since the City of Redlands no longer makes its own assessments nor collects the City taxes, it would appear that 1 this was a matter for the taxpayer to take to the County. Mrs. Fairchild said that no answer had been received from the Assessor's office, although Mr. Tornquist had promised an answer before he left office on April 20. Councilman Burroughts suggested that perhaps the Council might request the County Assess!. or to answer the petition. Mrs Fairchild again requested that a Citizens Committee be appointed. Mayor Wilson then asked Vice-mayor Parker to take the chair. He then made a motion that the request for appointment of a Citieens Committee be denied. Motion seconded by Councilman Ward and carried with the following vote: AYES: Councilmen Martinez, Ward, Parker and Mayor Wilson NOES: Councilman Burroughs ABSENT: None S X156 • COMMUNICATIONS The following communications were presented and read: I j From the Controller of the State of California, estimate of apportionments of vehicle license fee revenues for the 1958-1959 fiscal year.

On motion of Councilman Ward this recommendation of the Planning Commission was unanimously approved by the City Council. B. Conditional Use Permit No. 21 - Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints That the request of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for permission to develop church facilities on property located generally on the north side of West Fern Avenue approximately 275' west of Lakeside Avenue adjacent to 11:20 West Fern Avenue, R-S Zone, be approved subject to all of the provisions as compiled by the Planning Department and contained in said Commission's minutes dated April 22, 1958. Several property owners from the area were p p y adjacentpresent at the Council meeting. Acting as spokesman for a group objecting to the Conditional Use Permit was Attorney Rex Cramer, who • pointed out to the Council the numerous reasons for the objections; depreciation of property values, abnormally heavy vehicular traffic, noie and congestion, and the fact that the type of structure required by a church is out of keeping with an R-S Zone neighborhood. Clerk Whaley read a communication from Mrs. Gail Jury stating that they had no objections providing site development plans were submitted for approval; proof of financial ability to complete the I • project be submitted, and the improvement be commended within a reasonable time. Mr. William Murray, Mr. Clifford McGuire and Mr. Mannie Moore spoke for the church group and Dr. G. A. Gardiner spoke further against the use. After considerable discussion, the Council pointed out to the objectors that before any building permits are issued as detailed site development plan , and elevation must be presented for Planning review and approval, also that this Conditional Use Permit is subject to review and renewal at the end of one year. On motion of Councilman Martinez, this recommendation of the Planning Commission was then unanimously approved by the Redlands City Council. Eront Yard.isetbacks in the A-P (Administrative and Professional) Zone I Clarification of the provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1000 relating to 15' or 25' setbacks for administrative and professional buildings was asked from the Council by Mr. Howard Hays, Southern California Edison Company. Mr. Hays stated that when plans were discussed earlier for the new Edison Building at Kendall Street and Brookside Avenue their company was informed that the setback would be 15' . Mr. M.K. Feenstra stated that both Mr. Eisner and Mr. Conner of 1 the Planning Department had quoted a 15' setback for A-P Zones. Mr. William Hartzell pointed out that considerable tax revenue would be lost to the City if the 25' setback were applied in all A-P Zone construction. Mr. Benjamin Rabe urged that the 25' setback be adhered to on Cajon Street and on Brookside Avenue in order to preserve the spacious vistas of these two wide streets. • Councilman Ward said that there was logic to both side of the question but that he felt a street could by just as beautiful with a 15' setback ans one of 25' and that the additional taxes the (pity would accre must be given serious consideration. After the very lengthy discussion, the 1591 • the following motion was made by Councilman Ward: That the provisions in Ordinance Code No. 1000 concerning setbacks in the A-P Zone shall be interpreted by the City of Redlands as follows for Administrative or Professional type developments: Minimum setback 15' Maximum setback 40' Further residential development shall be governed in the A-P Zone by the average setback of the then existing residential structures in the block. This motion was seconded by Councilman Martinez and carried unanimously. ORAL PETITIONS AND APPLICATIONS Reverend Oscar Sedam, on behalf of the Redlands Council of Churches, presented a request for use of the Redlands Community Bowl for interdenominational church services on Sunday evenings, June 29th • through September 9th, 1958, inclusive.

From the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, notice of application of Mary Tucker for an 0ff-Sale Beer and Wine License for 700 Lawton Street. From the First Free Methodist Church, a request for water service to church site on the west side of Tennessee Street north of Brookside Avenue was approved on motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Martinez, subject to rates, charges, and water stock requirements customarily imposed. The Council felt that, as the Church had acquired the property prior to September 17, 1957, (at which time • the Council adopted a policy of no new 'outside' water connections), this should be considered as a prior committment to give service. From Mr. 0. McIver, a request for sewer service to site of a 79 unit trailer court recently approved by the County Planning Commission at Tennessee Street and Highway 99, also a request for enlargement of water lines that serve the site. Manager Workman informed the Council that this request had been checked out by the Water Superintendent and the City Engineer and that neither department recommended the service at this time, pointing out that the present sewer facilities in that area would be inadequate for such an increase in load. The Council took no action on the request. Requests from three property owners outside the City for separate water meter service on property now being served by the City were referred j;o the Water Department. From Mr. II. deBoer, West Park Avenue, a request that a one inch meter be installed for water service tp his chicken ranch, as the present 5/8" meter does not yield enough pressure to operate his brooder • sprinklers satisfactorily. As this is a case of making the present service satisfactory to the user, the request was approved on motion of Councilman Martinez, sec onded by Councilman Ward.

This communication provoked considerable discussion. Councilman Parker ', pointed out that under the Parking District Plan there was no possibility of free lots.

VEHICLE PARKING DISTRICT NO. 1 • The Mayor announced as follows: "The hour of 7:00 o'clock having arrived, this is the time and place fixed for the hearing on the changes, decreases or modifications in the acquisitions and improve- ments proposed for Vehicle Parking District No. 1 in the City of Redlands." The Clerk then presented to the Council the affidavit showing publication of notice of intention to make proposed changes, decreases and modifications. The City Attorney gave the Council and the audience a brief explanation of the hearing. He explained that Resolution No. 952 adopted by the City Council on the 20th day of May, 1958, declared its intention to make certain changes, decreases or modifications in the acquisitions and improvements proposed for Vehicle Parking District No. 1. June 10, 1958, at 7:00 P.M. was fixed as the time for hearing protests and objections in the City Council chambers. After the hearing, the City Council, upon considering evidence submitted by. the City Engineer, is required to determine by four-fifths vote of all its members that properties in the district will be benefitted by the acquisition and improvement which remain. Then, Ordinance No.1102 ordering the decrease, change,or modification must be adopted. • The Clerk then administered to the City Engineer the following oath: "Do you swear that the testi- you will give at this hearing will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" S The City Engineer described to the Council and the audience the changes, decreases or modifications , proposed to be made. The parcel being excluded from the acquisition and improvement, known as the Mannen property and occupied by a lessee, Alfred M. Lewis, Inc., was described as follows: Lots 1 and 2 in Block "A", Subdivision of Block 28, of Redlands, County of San 1 Bernardino, State of California, as per plat recorded in Book 4 of Maps, page 2, records of said County. The City Attorney then asked the City Engineer questions about the proposed changes, decreases or modifications as follows: Question: "In addition to being City Engineer, are you also the Traffic Engineer and Street Superintendent for the City of Redlands, Mr. Johnson?" Answer: "Yes, I am." • Question: "You have described a parcel known as the Mannen property which may be excluded from the acquisition and improvement for Redlands Vehicle Parking District No. 1. Has the City Engineer's office determined whether all of the lands in the district will be benefitted by the acquisition and improvement remaining after this decrease, modifi- cation and change?" I Answer: "Yes. A definite benefit to all the lands will result from the use of the parking space remaining in the development. After all, this exclusion will eliminate only 22 of the 116 spaces originally planned for this easterly lot of the two being developed 11 in the parking district. It is my opinion, based upon the investigation made by the City Engineer's office, that the lands in the district will be benefitted to practi- I I cally the same extent as if no change was being made. Also, the public will benefit from the use of lots conveniently located in the downtown commercial district with ready access to all the business houses there. Furthermore, these lots will alleviate , traffic congestion and driving hazards." 1 I' '!I The Clerk was asked to read in full all written protests, but he announced that none had been filed:; The Mayor asked: "Since no person filed a written protest, does any person or his representive li wish to make an oral protest?"

Resolution No 983, a resolution of the City of Redlands appointing Joseph P. Colley as Superintendent of Streets of the City of Redlands, presented by the City Attorney and unanimously adopted on motion • ' of Councilman Burroughs, seconded by Councilman Ward. City Engineer Philip E. Johnson was then 'sworn in by the City Clerk. Mr. Johnson testified that I he was the Superintendent of Streets at the time the assessment was filed and that he had signed said ! assessment. He further testified that Joseph P. Colley had prepared the assessment under his direction. I Joseph P. Colley was then sworn in by Clerk Whaley. Mr. Colley testified that the assessment had I been prepared and spread by him and that in his opinion the assessment had been spread upon the lands in, 'Il the district subject to assessment in proportion to the benefits to be derived from the proposed acqui- {' I sition and improvement. He outlined the boundaries of the district as follows: North to South, south ', II side of Central Avenue to north side of Vine Street; East to West, west side of Seventh Street toceast side of Third Street. Land consists of 113 parcels to be assessed for acquisition and improvement of i land for two parking lots. Mr. Colley recommended the following schedule of modifications: ITEM 1: On page 1 of the assessment, first paragraph, line 11, the sum of $311,650.00 shall be • changed to $339, 723.25. 19i37 • ITEM 2: On page 1 of the Assessment the amount of "The estimated costs and expenses of the of the proposed improvements" shall be changed from $52,000,00 to 050,073.25.

ITEM 7: Immediately after Assessment No. 114 of said Assessment, the "Total" shall be changed • from $261,650.00 to $259,723.25. Clerk Whaley then read the one written objection to the assessment, filed by the Security First AN National Bank and stating that4Parcel 82 the records of San Bernardino County show an assessed value for this parcel of $32,330.00, while the amount used for parking assessment purposes was $37,430.00. 00 G\3 Mr. Hamilton asked the Street Superintendent whether the objection had been met by the proposed modi- Cts Q fications. Mr. Colley answered in the affirmative, explaining that a review of the County Assessor's "; records disclosed that the Security First National Bank had sold a portion of its property and now owns a smaller parcel than was first subject to assessment. Mayor Wilson then asked: "Does any person who has filed a written protest, or his representive desire to be heard orally in support of such protest?" There was no response to the Mayor's invitation to speak. The Mayor then asked: "Does any person present wish to make an oral protest?" Again no protest was forthcoming. Mayor Wilson then questioned: "Is there any person present who desires to be heard at this time in connection with this assessment?" Mr. Gene Malone requested clarification of reasons for the modifications recommended by the Street Superintendent. Mr. Colley explained that both modifications result in more equitable assessments against the properties involved. In each case, a re-examination of the Assessor's records indicated indicated lower assessed valuations than the City used in deter- mining parking assessments. In the case of Parcel 82, the Security First National Bank's sale of the • westerly 391 feet resulted in a smaller lot subject to assessment. A check of the Assessor's roll indicated the assessed value of Parcel 9 was $5,290.40 instead of the $5,631.75 figure first used. No other persons addressed the Council. Councilman Martinez entered the Council Chambers at 7:30 o'clock P.M. Attorney Taylor then introduced Resolution No. 985, a resolution of the City of Redlands directing the amendment, alteration, modification and correction of the assessment filed in the matter of Vehicle Parking District No. 1 of this City. This resolution was unanimously adopted on motion of Councilman Burroughs, seconded by Councilman Parker. Following the adoption of Resolution No. 985, Mr. Colley took the assessment and left the Council chambers for the purpose of making the changes ordered by Resolution No. 985. After making the necessary changes, Mr. Colley returned to the Council chambers and presented to the Council the assessment, amended, altered, modified and corrected in accordance with Resolution No. 985. . Thereupon Councilman Parker moved as follows: "That all protests and objections, written and oral, made and filed in connection with the assessment filed in the matter of Vehicle Parking District J x194 411 No. 1 be and the same are hereby overruled and denied, except that to the extent that amendments, II alterations, modifications and corrections of the assessment have been made, such protests and objections, 1 if any, as are applicable thereto are, to that extent only, sustained and allowed." Motion was seconded by Councilman Martinez and carried unanimously. Attorney Taylor was asked by Mayor Wilson as to the probable amount of time mecessary to put the parking lots into operation. It had been hoped that they would be available before the holiday season. Mr. Taylor stated that a definite time calender was difficult to predict but, barring unforseen legal action of some kind, the land may be cleared for parking use before the improvements are made. Mayor Wilson now declared the Public Hearing closed. Resolution No. 986, a resolution of the City of Redlands, California, making determinations and 411 confirming assessments in the matter of Vehicle Parking District No. 1 was then presented by the City 1 Attorney.

Both Councilman Parker and Councilman Martinez stated that the roque players would feel discriminated against ( if new shuffleboard courts were built and no new roque courts added or the existing • ones repaired. Mr. Dawson explained his reasons in asking priority on the above items; x250 • first, the south end of the park has been left in an unsightly condition since Smiley Drive was closed; second, that the shuffleboard players are formed into a club with dues and will make substantial contribution toward cost of new or additional courts.

Gardener for water service to his property in Mentone had been tabled._at the last regular Council meeting to allow for study and recommendation. This same request had been denied in September, 1958. On the assumption that with the installa-I tion of the proper filer they would be able to use Bear Valley Water, the Cal Vets approved the loan and the house has been constructed. Now it is found that the use of Bear Valley water for any domestic purpose is prohibited. Mr. George Ziser,for the Cal Vets office, LL. Gardener told the Council that for the Gardeners to buy into a well would cost $600.00 in addition water service to the purchase of one-quarter mile of right-of-way to lay the line and that it would be Mentone too costly to consider. Mr. Ziser asked whether the City would consider giving service if illthe applicant could acquire a lot that is presently being served w ith City water. The Department of Public Works informed theCouncil that if such a lot were available the meter and service could be transferred to another location under the same ownership and that such service would be considered a prior committment. The Council concurred that while they were in complete sympathy with the problem, to approve the request for new service outside the City Limits would be in violation to the existing ordinance and would open the way for many like requests, and that the denial made in September, 1958, 1958, must stand, but that there would be no objection by the Council if Mr. Gardener can obtain a lot which is now being served with City water. • Mr. FloydT.

Dunsworth for a Conditional Use Permit to establish a trailer park on approximately 8 acres located on the southeast corner of Tennessee Street and Orange Avenue, The Planning Commission had recommended denial of the Conditional Use Permit and at the Council meeting of February 2, 1960, the request was tabled by the City Council until further study could be made of the trailer park ordinance. Mr. Ward stated that he felt it was unfair to keep the developer waiting for an answer until the Planning Commission completes its re-study of therordi- • nance and moved that the request to establish this trailer park be approved. Attorney Taylor informed the Council that no action could be taken in this matter without a motion to take it off the table and resubmit for discussion. Councilman Ward withdrew ' his motion and moved that matter be taken off the table. 'Motion was seconded by Coun- cilman Parker and carried, with Councilman Burroughs voting 'No.! The matter was then discussed at length. Councilman Parker said that the fact that 100 per cent of the property owners within the zone of influence had protested the trailer park, (that the Council had denied conditional use permits for churches when so protested by adjacent property owners, ) should be considered. Mr. Ward said that the Council had elected to vote for orderly development of the community and that he considers this use of the property as such, and that it would not down grade the neighborhood. Mr. Martinez stated that he wished to wait until the Planning Commission makes the new study of the ordinance before voting on this. Councilman Burroughs emphasized that he had np 411 n4 U� • no objections to trailer parks, that they are part of a way of life today, but feels that quanity and zoning limitations are needed. He agreed that protests from those within 1 the zone of influence should be considered. Mayor Wilson said that since he had made an [11 Conditional Use Permit- inspection of the location he felt that it was a good site for the proposed use and that 1 Tailer park- Dunsworth he would not object to it. The developer was asked whether he would object to a three or I' four month delay for an answer. Mr. Dunsworth indicated that a reasonable delay would not be objectionable as there was an orange crop on the land to be picked before any im- I' 111 provement is started. Councilman Martinez then moved that the request again be tabled. The motion was seconded by Councilman Burroughs and carried with the following roll-call 1 • vote: AYES: Councilmen Martinez, Burroughs, Mayor Wilson NOES: Councilmen Ward, Parker ABSENT: None GO Mayor Wilson told the Council that the County Board of Supervisors would like a letter II I with an expression of policy of the City Council relative to the application of Mr. V.C. I. et et Sandwall for zone change of property located between Barton Road, Brbbkside Avenue and Bellevue, west of the Redlands City limits but within the zone of influence. The Redlands,' Planning Commission has recommended denial of this request. Because of the possibility II 1 Barton Road Zone Change - that this area might wish annexation to the City, the Council is concerned with any County possible zone change or proposed land use. Councilman Parker asked why the developer I did not petition directly to the City for annexation. Mr. Burroughs stated that as long as the County had asked for an opinion he would have to agree with the original recom- mendation of the Planning Commission. Mayor Wilson hoped that it could be developed under one ownership and brought into the City.

No. 78 This appeal was filed with the City of Redlands August 2, 1960 and Mr. Cranmer asks the Council to act on the written appeal at this. time as no action was taken on the oral appeal 8n August 1st. Attorney Taylor stated that definite action is not necessary. After further 1, discussion and Attorney Cranmer's statement that he only asks for continuation of the appeal the Council took no action but informed Mr. Cranmer that the matter will be on the Council agenda on September 6, 1960. At the Council meeting of August 1, the request of Mr. Richard Adams for variance of pro- visions of Section 26.10 of Ordinance No. 1000 to permit the addition of two rooms and a garage to a residence located at 409 East Central Avenue had been tabled for review and • 39, • study by the Council. At this time the Council informed Mr. Adams that due to findings disclosed in their review - (the change of Central Avenue to a heavy traffic street when IIIVariance the freeway is completed, the ultimate development of the area as C-4 District, the policy No. 79 - R. W. Adams of not expanding a non-conforming use as well as allowing the applicant to do an injustice to himself) - it could only approve the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny the variance. This was done on motion of Councilman Burroughs, seconded by Councilman Martinez. ICITY MANAGER Manager Workman brought the Council a request from William N. Kuhns for separate water ,I service to a residence at 2015 Madeira Avenue in Menton. This property iS now being served • Outside from a meter located at 1376 Agate Avenue. As this house was built prior to the discon- water service- W. N. Kuhns - tinuance of outside service (in 1949)it is the recommendation of the Department of Public 2015 Madeira Forks that this request be approved subject to the usual conditions for outside service. CO On motion of Councilman Martinez, seconded by Councilman Ward, this recommendation was CV (,fj approved by the City Council. ct `. From the State of California Division of Highways, a request for certification of acceptance of a Director's Deed conveying to the City of Redlands property located on Church Street, Certification lof acceptance portions of Lots 7 and 8, Woodlawn Tract. On motion of Councilman Burroughs, seconded by of Director's Deed Councilmen Martinez, the Mayor and the City Clerk were authorized to execute this acceptance I on behalf of the City of Redlands. On motion of Councilman Burroughs, seconded by Councilman Ward, the City Council author- ized that the City's contract with Brink's,Inc. (for collection of parking meter monies) be amended as follows: The line in paragraph #1, which states, "The coins so collected will be delivered by first party to the Bank of America, Redlands, California on the same Amendment of Brink's day as collected" should be deleted, and rewritten as follows: "The first party will remit contract amount collected to the City Treasurer, City Hall, Redlands California by check on the same day as collected, or the following banking day of the collection". The City Manager presented a request from Local 1354, International Association of Fire li Fighters, that the following three items be favorably considered by the City Council: • 1. Recognition of the Redlands Fire Fighters Local 1354 as the bargaining I agent for the employees of the Redlands Fire Department. , Local 1354 - ' I. A. F. F. 2. The adoption of a simple but effective grievance procedure for the petition for protection of the individual. 'recognition 3. The adoption of a definite procedure setting forth the mechanics to be employed in the presentation of future requests such as dates, timing and 'etc' for the purpose of negotiations. After some discussion the Council, while recognizing the right of the fireman to affiliate I with the union, in no way acknowledges a bargaining agency and feels that a far better job can be done by personnel groups relative to any problems arising in the department. The Council directed the City Manager to convey this thinking of the Council to the group. At the meeting of August 1, 1960 bids had been called for five automobiles budgeted for purchase this year. As only one bid was received the Council decided to wait until mid- . September and call for bids on 1961 cars. Recent repair estimates indicate that cost of keeping two of the present cars in operation until they could be replaced with 1961 models J X398 • would be approximately $600.00. After considerable discussion, Councilman Martinez moved cl Bid call automobiles the City re-advertise for bids at this time using the same specifications as previously l with some modification on color, upholstery and battery requirements. Motion was seconded by Councilman Burroughs and carried unanimously. Manager Workman requested permission to be absent from the meeting of September 6th, out of the City on vacation.

ORAL PETITIONS ' Attorney Rex Cranmer addressed the Council again relative to second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 1150, an ordinance of the City of Redlaids repealing Trailer Park Ordinance No. 1124 and revoking all permits issued pursuant thereto. This issue has been the subject of considerable controversy in recent weeks and Attorney Cranmer, who represents Laurence A Dunsworth, reviewed briefly the events leading up to the introduction of Ordinance No. 1150 on August 1, 1960. Mr. Cranmer again urged the Council to reconsider the repeal of the trailer park ordinance and stated that his client, Mr. Dunsworth, hhd offered to abandon his application to establish a trailer park at Orange Avenue and Tennessee Street if the ordinance was not repealed. This would protect the present trailer parks from the position of operating in non-conformance to a City ordinance. There was considerable discussion • following Mr. Cranmer's appeal. Mr. John Farrell stated that he did not think that it was , I, I 4( i • a question of the Dunsworth location as much as a question as to tether the City wants any more trailer parks at all. Mr. Clare Day pointed out that conditional use permits Ordinance issued under the Zoning Ordinance are more or less by favor and thinks perhaps we should No. 1150 ask the people themselves how they feel about trailer parks. He urged no hasty action on the repeal of the ordinance. In the Council discussion, Mayor Parker and Councilman Burroughs were for immediate second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 1150. Council- ' man Ward, Wilson, and Martinez favored delaying final action on the ordinance. After the discussion, Councilman Ward moved that action on Ordinance No. 1150 be tabled until the next Council meeting. Motion was seconded by Councilman Martinez and carried with the • following roll=call vote: AYES: Councilmen Ward, Martinez, Wilson NOES: Councilmen Burroughs, Mayor Parker ABSENT: None GO Attorney Cranmer then asked that Mr. Dunsworth's appeal to the decision of the Planning Cd Variance No. 78 Commission on application for variance No. 78 be put on the agenda for the next meeting. Q The Council agreed to this PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: Although there were no regular meetings of the Planning Commission in the month of August, the Planning Department presented the following items for Council consideration: 1. Lot Split No. 193 - W. E. Bond - Final approval All provisions as contained in Council minutes dated September 15, 1958 having been complied with, it is the recommendation of the Planning Department that final approval be given for Lot Split No. 193. On motion of Councilman Wilson, seconded by Councilman Burroughs, this recommendation of the Planning Department was approved by the City Council. 2. Tract No. 4085 - Revocation of Approval dated March 1, 1955 Planning•Director Schindler informed the Council that the State Subdivision Act permits the revocation of approval given on a final subdivision map when no improvement has been made in a five year period following final approval. Mr. Schindler stated that Tract No. 4085 - Holly Manors - approved March 1, 1955 is such a tract - that no improvements have been made and that requirements set forth by the various departments have changed in the past five years. It is the recommendation of the Planning Department that final map of Tract No. 4085 be revoked. On motion of Councilman Wilson, seconded by Councilman Martinez, Resolution No. 2068, a resolution of the City of Redlands ordering the revocation of Tract No. 4085, presented and • laid over with public hearing thereon set for September 20, 1960 at 7:00 P.M. APPLICATIONS AND PETITIONS Mayor Parker brought the Council a request on behalf of the Y.W.C.A. for waiver of charges made by the City for the use of Floral Plunge during the past swimming season. Amount of Y.W.C.A. payment use charges, $40.00. The Council did not feel that it would be fair to waive charges for one Floral Plunge organization when similar groups use the pool on the same basis. The Council suggested that payment might be deferred until after the Community Chest Drive. On motion of Councilman Wilson, seconded by Councilman Martinez, the Council agreed to defer payment until January 1961.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Ordinance No. 1150, an ordinance of the City of Redlands repealing Ordinance No. 1124, entitled "An ordinance amending Zoning Ordinance No. 1000 by providing a T-P District • Ordinance No. 1150 (Trailer Park Residential District) , and repealing all ordinances amending said Ordinance 'repeal of No. 114; and a resolution reaffirming revocation of all permits granted in accordance ' trailer park ordinance with said ordinance;:/ tabled at Council meeting of September 6, 1960 at this time was gine n second reading by Attorney Taylor. Councilman Burroughs moved for the adoption of Ordi- nance No. 1150. Motion was second ed by Councilman Wilson. In the discussion which followed, Councilman hfilson explained that time had been needed to give study to the ordinance. He feels that when the freeway is cpmpleted that there I 'I might be portions of the City that would then be acceptable for trailer park locations and that perhaps then a Trailer Park Zone can be created but that it seemed best at this time to repeal the ordinance. • I 40 rr S Councilman Ward cited his reasons for not repealing the ordinance. First, that we were being unfair to Mr. L. A. Dunsworth who_.has signified his willingness to drop his request for a conditional use permit for a trailer park at Tennessee Street and Orange Avenue, if the City will retain the ordinance. Second, repeal of the ordinance will place the one other new trailer park, on Judson Street south of Sylvan Boulevard, in the position of operating as a non-conforming use. This would mean that variances must be obtained to the Building Code and Zoning Ordinance for any expansion of facilities throughout the life of the park. (Attorney Taylor told Mr. Ward that the existing trailer park cannot be prevented from carrying out original plans as called for by his permits) . Third, Mr. Ward feels • that the ordinance is a good one, that the Planning Director and Planning Consultant had considered it good when it was adopted. He is not in favor of more trailer parks now but feels that the City should not revoke the ordinance. He would retain the ordinance and revoke the conditional use permit already granted Mr. Dunsworth. He also pointed out that CJ Cq a zone change was granted for the Dunsworth property a year ago and further stated that he CCS had talked to several influential people who felt that there was a place in Redlands for trailer parks. Mayor Parker said that he does not feel that the economy of the City would benefit from trailer parks and that there is no place in the long-range plan for them. He then called for a vote on Ordinance No. 1150, as follows: III AYES: Councilmen Burroughs, Wilson, Mayor Parker NOES; Councilmen Ward, Martinez ABSENT: None Councilman Martinez said that he voted "No" because he felt that the present trailer park ordinance was a good one. Councilman Wilson then moved that the Mobile Home Survey and Trailer Park Ordinance be returned to the Planning Department for study toward creating a Trailer Park Zone or Zones in the City. Motion died for want of a second. NEW BUSINESS From the law offices of Belli, Strong, Ashe and Gerry, a claim in the amount of $ 252,500.00 . on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Woodworth against the City of Redlands for the loss of their Claim - Sylvan Plunge daughter, Cynthia Elaine Woodworth, drowned while swimming at the Municipal Plunge in death Sylvan Park on June 26, 1960. On motion of Councilman Wilson, seconded by Councilman Martinez, this claim was denied and referred to the City's insurance carrier. CITY MANAGER Manager Ybrknan requested that the Council authorize the Mayor to appoint one member of Disposal of obsolete the City Council to serve on a committee with the City Manager and Director of Finance in material order to give approval for the disposal of items no longer needed in city service. The Council approved Mayor Parker's appointment of Councilman Wilson to serve on this committee. The Council authorized the City Manager to open negotiations with the County of San Bernar- County maintenance- dino relative to the County's maintenance of the Redlands City dump. The tentative plan City dump is a lease agreement with County maintenance of the dump by cut and fill operation.

Mrs. Davis asks first option on a new lease if the City should consider II III IIIL 4o, S a long term lease again.

Since all our water producing facilities will at certain times during the coming summer be required to meet the demand, the Department feels its position is precarious in that the loss of one of our major sources such as a well will create a condition of en- Emergency forced water rationing. With this in mind an emergency standby unit has been asked and standby well- San Bernar approval given by the City Council to proceed with the drillin of a well at San Bernardino dino Ave. & Church St. Avenue and Church Street on what is now known as the Little League Field.

Findings - The City Council, tF ennheai'd ev'idenoe ihi onnection- ith the '-proposed ordinance `eS relative to • Ordinance follows: ' No. 1169 Captain James D. Pattison, who is the supervising officer of the Traffic Division of the Redlands Police Department in charge of traffic- records, statistics, and investigation reports, gave testimony on the relationship of accident frequency to billboard locations, and general traffic conditions, and speed zones in the City of Redlands, and the generally recognized stopping distance standards. Captain Pattison ahs been an officer in the police and traffic field for fourteen years. He stated that the major highways or streets for the passage of vehicular traffic in Redlands ar U. S. Highway 99, Colton Avenue, Brookside Avenue, Lugonia Avenue and Orange Street, and that substantial flows of traffic enter them from side streets. He stated that Highway 99 curves from the westerly city limits in a southeasterly route to the easterly boundaries and this curving increases the difficulty of observing traffic which must enter • $ 97 • the highway at an angle from a total of 26 intersecting streets. Tie number of streets intersecting Colton Altenueis 28; Brookside Avenue, 13; Orange Street, 18; and Lugonia Avenue, 16. He testified that similar congested and hazardous traffic conditions exist on a number of other primary and secondary highways and streets. In particular, the hazard is acute during hours of peak traffic load, such as 7 A.M. to 9 A.M., 11 A.M. to 1 P.M., and from 4:30 P.M. until 7 P.M. He presented the table of stopping distances recognized and applied by the California Highway Patrol, the Redlands Police Department, and many other police agencies in California. This chart, which shows the total stopping distance in feet required to bring vehicles • going at varying speeds to a stop once brakes have been applied, was incorporated in the findings made by the City Council. Captain Pattison referred to Traffic Ordinance No. 1075, as amended, and the State Department of Public Works surveys which establish prima facie speed limits within the City. He submitted tables showing speed limits for various speed zones established on Highway 99, Colton, Lugonia, and Brookside Avenues, and Orange Street, and the stopping distances required for vehicles being operated at these speeds. These tables are incorporated in the findings of the City Council in connection with Ordinance No. 1169. Captain Pattison gave further testimony as follows: Within the City of Redlands there are fourteen (14) billboards located on Highway 99 (Central Avenue) between Texas Street and Fern Avenue. Including Texas Street and Fern Avenue, sixteen (16) streets intersect this same stretch of highway. Eight of the fourteen (14) billboards, or 57% of the total, are located adjacent to the three major intersections within this stretch of highway. These intersections are: Texas Street and Highway 99, Orange Street and Highway 99, and Citrus Avenue and Highway 99. During 1959 the State Division of Highways made a complete engineering study of Highway 99 through the City of Redlands. Their adcident frequency study was made for the years 1956, 1957, and 1958, and was based on traffic accident reports furnished by the Redlands Police Department. Over the aforementioned stretch of highway (Texas through Fern) during this three • year period there were 297 accidents occurring at different intersections. At the three major intersections where 57% of the billboards are located (Texas, Orange and Citrus) there were 192 accidents or 65% of the total of 297. A breakdown shows 55 accidents at Texas; 77 at Orange; and 60 at Citrus. The next highest frequency was only 20 occurring at Fifth Street which is also exposed to a bill- board located between Orange and Fifth on Highway 99. The rest of the accidents were as follows: Fern - 18; 10th Street - 11; 9th Street - 6; 8th Street - 13; 6th Street - 19; 4th Street - 8; and 3rd Street - 10. That the only change that was made in traffic regulations as the result of the Division of Highways study, was a raising of the minimum speed limit from 25 to 30 mph through the business area to give more fluidity of traffic. There is little change in the accident picture as to frequency and location since the study. • The statistics for 1960 showed that of the 136 accidents occurring on Highway 99 between Texas and Fern, 62% or 85 of the 136 occurred at Texas, Orange and Citrus, with billboard exposure remaining the same. , r Soo Captain Pattison said that traffic reports in the official police files as public records of the City of Redlands show that a substantial number of the accidents occurred during turning or as rear end collisions, and were caused by lack of driver concentration or distractions of attention. After considering all the Opinions and evidence received in hearings and public dis- cussions held on sign and billboard regulations, the City Council adopted findings and ordered them incorporated in Ordinance No. 1169, on motion of Councilman Burroughs, seconded by Councilman Ward, with the following vote: AYES: Councilmen Ward, Burroughs, Mayor Parker Ordinance NOES: Councilmen Martinez, Wilson • No. 1169 ABSENT: None Ordinance No. 1169 was then introduced by the Attorney, first reading in detail waived on motion of Councilman Wilson, seconded by Councilman Burroughs, and the ordinance laid over under the rules.

The ordinance Ordinance was read for the second time and adopted on motion of Councilman Wilson, seconded by No. 1174 Councilman Martinez, with the following roll-call vote: AYES: Councilmen Martinez, Burroughs, Wilson, Mayor Parker • NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Ward NEW BUSINESS The City Manager at this time requested the Council to consider retaining the firm of Engineering - Science, Inc., to do the design work in connection with the two and one-half million gallon reservoir to be constructed at Margarita Drive and Sunset Drive. Director Engineering - Science, Inc. of Public Works Jones told the Council that, while the work could be done in his department, Contract for because of the time element involved it would not be practical nor would there be any design work - new new appreciable savings in cost. Engineering - Science, Inc. agree to do the work at a maximum reservoir price of $9,000.00, which on a time and material basis could be less. Mr. Jones considers this a fair contract. On motion of Councilman Burroughs, s?conded by Councilman Wilson, au authorization was given by the Council for the execution of said contract with Engineering - Science, Inc. • � � II Manager Workman presented for Council review street plans of the proposed street layout ' in Industri-Park of Redlands, partly within the City of Redlands and partly in the unincor- porated area. These plans had been forwarded from the office of the County Engineer. Quoting from the accompanying letter from M. A. Nicholas, County Engineer, by N. C. Williams, Planning Engineer, Mr. Workman read as follows: "Since there is a good possibility that this entire tract may come under the juris- diction of the City of Redlands by annexation, it is believed that the City should be concerned with the complete street plan. • The connection to Alabama Street providing access to Skateland was constructed by the promoters without authorization by the County Highway Department. Subsequently on September 28, 1960, a temporary permit was issued by this department on the basis of a commercial driveway. The extension and development into a 4-lane facility of this above mentioned driveway--shown on the attached plans as "Colton Avenue Alternate"--has been found to be highly undesirable by both the County Highway Department and the County Planning Commission." Since good traffic arrangement is a primary concern of the City, the Council unani- mously concurred in the findings of the County Planning Commission and Councilman Wilson ' moved that the temporary access to Skateland be permitted until such time as the property is developed and that then no entrances or exits be allowed on Alabama Street. Motion was seconded by Councilman Burroughs and carried. No further business demanding attention at this time, on motion, the Council adjourned. Next regular meeting, September 5, 1961.
