It was moved by "ouncilman Lake and seconded by ouncilman McMeekin that the City At- torney confer with the owner of the truck in an effort to have him move to a commercial zone in order to elim~;nate the apparent nuisance; also that the complainants confer with the City Attorney regarding their rights. All members of the Council present voting aye, the Mayor declared the motion duly carried. Mr. R. H. Demmon, professor at the Junior High School School stated that he has a delegation of 50 students from the school present at the meeting phis evening, introducing Art Roach, who he stated wished to S i .< k: eu_ address the Council. Thereupon Mr. Roach addressed the Council on behalf of the Stu- dent-Body inquiring why more improvement has not been made to the City Park, which was acquired by the City some 18 months ago, stating that he believes that the park is a good thing and should be improved with a swim- ming pool, tennis courts, in order that it might be enjoyed by the people. Councilman Lake advised the, Student Body that the reason why more action has not taken place is because the Council have submitted a W. P. A. pro,)ect,but that the W. P. A. have not approved it, and that it is too much of an undertaking for the City to do without Federal aid; also advising that a swimming pool would costapproxlmately X40,000.00 alone, however that the students can be assured that the City will do all within their power to improve the park as soon as finances will permit. After a 30 minutes recess in connection with the hearing on re- funding the A. & I. Districts. The Mayor announced that the hearing would now resume. City Engineer Bateman testified as follows: As part of my duties I supervised the spreading of the~assess- ment (sometimes called reassessment) for the refunding of the indebtedness of Acquisition and Improvement Districts Nos. 17, 18, 20, 22, 23 and 28, and Municipal Improvement District No. 1 of the City of Lynwood. Said assessment (sometimes called reassessment) was spread in the following manner: • In allotting the total assessment (sometimes called reassess- ment), in th~ amount of ~597,I86.73, to th•e respective districts to be refunded, the following sums. were allotted to each district, to-wit: Acquisition and Improvement District No. 17--the sum of X23,410. O1. Acquisition and Improvement District No. 18--the sum of 500,652.03. Acquisition and Improvement District No. 20 the sum of --45,575.72. Ac- quisition and Improvement District No. 22--the sum of•~11,726.75. Acqui- sition and Improvement District Na. 23--the sum of X9,949.51. Acquisition And Improvement No. 28--the gum of3,397.47. Municipal Improvement Dis- trict No. 1--the sum of ~2, 475.21. That the amount allotted to each of said districts does not ~eec the indebtedness of that district a8 set forth in the Resolution of Inten- tion. That the funds contributed by the County of Los Angeles to aid in the refunding of said Acquisition and Improvement Districts Nos. 18 and 20 were properly credited to said districts in the allocation of the respective amounts aforesaid, i, e., X125,000.00 to District Na. 18 and X32,000.00 to District No. 20. To the amount of X597,186.73, the amount of the assessment (some- times called reassessment) in said multiple refunding district, as deter- mined by Resolution No. l_376 of the City Council of the City of Lynwood ~-- adopted November 18, 1941, said amount being less than the maximum amount of the assessment (sometimes called reassessment) as set forth in the Re- solution of Intention for such refunding, there was added the total of all sums (including interest and penalties and including money paid under the ten payment plan or other plan of installment payments) paid in to the Interest and Sinking Funds of said districts on or prior to the date the Resolution of Intention in said refunding proceeding was adapted, upon assessments levied upon any lot, piece or parcel of land in said districts subject to assessment, for the payment of principle or interest of any of the bonds of said districts. The total amount of the two sums thus ascer- tained was assessed upon and against ail of the lands in said districts subject to assessment (sometimes called reassessment) and benefited by the acquisition or improvement or acquisition and improvement for which the bonded indebtedness of said districts was incurred and the total amount was assessed upon each lot, piece or parcel of land in proportion to the estimated benefits received by each such lot, piece or parcel of land from said acquisitions or improvements or acquisitions and improvements. When- ever a lot, piece or parcel ofl,~nd so assessed lies in two or more dis- tricts included in the Multiple district refunding proceedings, the amounts so assessed in each district were added together and constitute one ass- essment. The amounts thus assessed are hereinafter ref erredbo as the "gros assessments". From the aforesaid gross assessments upon each lot, piece or par- cel of land were deducted the amount of such taxes upon land and such ass- essments (including interest and penalties, if any) paid into the Interest and Sinking Fund of any of the districts included in the refunding pro- eeeding on or prior to the date of the adoption of .the Resolution of In- tention in the refunding proceeding upon any tax or assessment levied upon any such lot, piece ar parcel of land to pay the interest or principal, or both, of bonds of any of the districts included in said multiple district refunding proceeding and including money paid. under, the. ten payment plan or other plans of installment payment; and aii of the sums so paid for any dv t"`J parcel of land, regardless of the district or districts to pay the in- debtedness of which such taxes or assessments were paid, were deducted as a single item from the gross assessment upon such parcel. In every case where the credits were in excess of the gross assessment determined for the parcel to which said credits were applied the excess was applied to reduce the gross assessments on parcels in the said district which did not have credits exceeding their respective gross assessments, the said excesses being applied to said gross assessments in the proportion which each such gross assessment bears to the total of such gross asses~rnent. After the deduction of the credits and the application of ex- cess credits, all as aforesaid, the resulting assessments were entered u - on the assessment roll as the assessments (sometimes called reassessment upon the respective lots, pieces and parcels of land in the total area com_.>rising the districts and subject to assessment. That the total amount of the assessment (sometimes called reassessment) so filed was the sum of X597,186.73; that thereafter, and on order of the City Council made by resolution adopted March 3, 1942, I revised and modified said assessment {sometimes called reassessment) by reducing the amount thereof in the manner and in accordance with the direction of this Council. Assessment No. 1665 by reducing the amount thereof from X92.76 to X62.76. Assess- ment No. 3194 by reducing the amount thereof from X372.55 to X254.55. Assessment No. 3201 uy reducing the amount thereof f rom ~364.35.to X242.35. Assessment No. 3220 by dividing in to three parcels, now shown as Assess- ment Nqs. 3220, 3B20A, and 3220B, (see assessment role for description). Assessment No. 3221 by dividing in to three parcels now shown. as Assess- ment Nos. 3221, 3221A and 3221B, (see assessment roll for description). The to*al assessment roll (sometimes called reassessment ) was reduced from X69'7,186.73 to X596,876.73. As directed by the City Council in its resolution ordering the modification, S, in addition, revised and modified certain of the des- cr~ntions on said assessment (sometimes called reassessment) and its dia- gram in accordance with the order of this Council. That the total amount of the assessment, as modified, is now the sum of X596,876.73.
