The City Manager presented a report on the proposed change
of zone of portions of Lots 14 and 15, Tract No. 5103 from
P-l, R-3, C-2 to zone C-3 as recommended by the Planning
Commission. The proposed change would permit expansion of
an existing heavy commercial business (Abco Hardware and
Builders Supply) into a light commercial zone. The plot
plan of the existing zoning and recommended change of
zone was displayed, and the Manager stated that it was
the owner's intention to use the portion abutting the
residential property on Elm Street for parking purposes.
The property in question is the former Franklin Auto
Supply property at 4328 and 4339 Imperial Highway.
The report stated that the Planning Commission approved
the proposed zone change for the following reasons:
a. This change will be a logical transition of an existing
C-3 zone;
b. The granting of the zone change will not be detrimental
to surrounding zoning or land uses;
c. This will overcome an existing fire and health problem
in the area.
Councilman Duncan expressed disapproval of granting a C-3
zone on the westerly portion of the property as it could
later be developed for any use permitted under the C-3
zoning requirement.

Councilman Duncan stated that if it resumed P-1 under
the present ordinance, it could later be developed for

The Manager stated that if it is the Council's desire,
this matter could be referred to the Planning Commission
for further study.
~:
Mr. Gerald Goldberg, 11533 Thurston Circle, Los Angeles,
the applicant, addressed the Council to describe the
type of business he operates and explained the great
need for expansion as his present facilities are out-
grown. He said he intends to use the westerly portion
of the property for customer and employee parking.
He also said he intends to increase the size of the
former Franklin Auto Supply store and eventually will
remove the two old buildings on the west portion of
the property. These buildings are presently rented
but at some future time they will be removed, and
the land used for parking
Councilman Duncan asked Mr. Goldberg what his objection
would be to having the west portion zoned P-1.
Mr. Goldberg replied that he would have no objection
other than if his business becomes more wholesale than
retail, he would eventually need to expand his buildings
onto a portion of the west property.
Councilman McMillan expressed a view that if it is the
intention to use a portion of the property for parking,
it should be so designated.
Mr. Goldberg assured the Council that it is essential
that he have customer parking and said the building
plans and plot plan for the development are in the
process of preparation and he would like to show them
to the Council before a decision is made.
It was agreed that the matter would be deferred to later
in the meeting to allow Mr. Goldberg time to bring back
his plans for the Council's consideration.
Atlantic Ave The City Manager presented a report on the reconstruction
improvements of Atlantic Avenue from Fernwood to McMillan and the
construction of traffic signals and safety lighting
at the intersection of Carlin and Bu11is which was
authorized by the City Council at the December 7, 1965,
meeting. The report stated that before the City can
receive gas tax funds, an amended budget must be
prepared to include the new projects approved by the
City Council by the passage of a resolution requesting
the allocation of the necessary funds and after approval
of the projects by the Division of Highways, the necessary
plans must be prepared and approved by the State Engineers.
The report further stated that the City Engineer has
prepared the budget documents estimating the cost of
the Atlantic Avenue project at $130,000 and the Bullis
Road-Carlin project at $10,000. It was the Manager's
recommendation that the City Council approve the
these requests by the adoption of the following resolution,

resolution be adopted.
Roll. Call
Ayes: Councilmen Byork, Duncan, McMillan, Siokos, Smith.

Absent: None.
The Manager presented a request for authorization to call
for bids for purchase of a new street sweeper in which
he recalled that in the capital budget for 1965-66
provision was made for the :replacing of a ten year old
sweeper which was to be traded-in. Because of the
additional sweeping requirements resulting from the
recent annexation of territory known as Atlantic Avenue
Annexation No. 6 and possible annexation of the "county
isl.a:~d," it would appear unwise to trade-in the ten year
old sweeper as it should be retained for stand-by use in
case of breakdown of the newer unit
Therefore, it was the Manager's recommendation that the
City call for bids for a three wheel dual control, dual
gutterbroom, 4,0 minimum cubic yard capacity sweeper
at an estimated cost of $15,?00; bids to be received by
the City Clerk no later than 10:00 aom., January 2~4, 1966.

McMillan, that the City Council concur in the recommendations

The City Manager presented a report on recent legislation
which permits a candidate for public office to file a
"candidates' statement of qualifications" along with his
nomination paper. This statement must be printed and
included in the sample ballot envelopes The law provides
that each candidate availing himself of this service may
be billed by the local agency for a sum not greater than
the actual prorated cost of printing and handling incurred
as a result of providing this service. The Office of the
State Attorney General has rendered an opinion that
the City can require a deposit at the time of filing the
nomination paper, based upon the city's estimated cost
of printing and handling of the statements. As a result,
many cities have enacted legislation to require such a
deposit, in some cases with the candidate to be billed for
any excess and in others with the city to absorb any
excess,
It was the Manager's recommendation that the City Council
approve a deposit for handling of the Candidates' Statements
of Qualifications in the range of $100 to $125 with any
excess of the actual cost to be refunded to the candidate
and with the city absorbing any amount in excess of the
stated figure.

The Manager presented a report on the licensing schedule
of on-sale liquor establishments wh~_ch indicated that there
are a total of 84 establishments in the city which serve
liquor in some form. The average license fee paid by these
establishments is $25.00 per year. Investigation has shown
that the current license fees are not adequate to cover
the administrative costs of investigation, licensing
procedures, occupancy and fire inspection, etc The report
stated that because of this inequity in fees collected
and cost of administration, it is felt that the business
license fee for bars and taverns should be excluded from
the present licensing schedule and a new schedule be
established for this type of business

The Manager presented a progress report on the proposed Progress
Century Freeway in which he informed the Council that report on
since the last meeting, the affect on assessed valuations Century
has been determined as follows: Zf the proposed southerly Freeway
route is followed, it will remove from the City's assessed
valuation $1,648,210. The actual loss to the City would
be $9,560; the loss to the school district would be
approximately $59,250. The report stated that assessed
valuation studies are being continued on the original
northerly route and the most recently proposed route
along Fernwood Avenue.
On January 4 the City Manager and David MacArthur met
with the representatives of Route Planning and learned
that a new route along Fernwood Avenue has been proposed.
The State has conferred with the railway officials with
the objective of placing the freeway along the Fernwood
Avenue right-of-way. Such an alignment would not only
involve the railway company but also would require the
permission of the California Public Utilities Commission
and the Interstate Commerce Commission. State officials
indicated that while abandonment of the railway tracks
is not impossible, it would be very difficult to obtain
permission from the various governmental bodies.
Preliminary plans on this new route proposed an elevated
freeway directly over Imperial High~ray as it enters the
City on the west, continuing east on Fill until approximately
Harris Avenue where it would proceed under Atlantic Avenue
and Fernwood. To enter the Long Beach Freeway any of
the proposed routes would require realignment of the Long
Beach Freeway.
The State Officials indicated that through traffic will
continue on Alameda, State Street, Long Beach $oulevard,
Bullis Road, Harris, and Atlantic. Off ramps are
presently proposed at Alameda, Long Beach Boulevard, and
Atlantic Avenue. The report also indicated that the
State Planning Officials were informed that the northerly
route is still the most acceptable to the City of Lynwood
and the southerly route completely unacceptable. The
staff hearings will be held soon to which all governmental
officials will be invited and the Manager suggested in his
report that the Council go on record as supporting the most
acceptable route or routes and objecting to the most

A map delineating the three proposed routes north of Abbott
Road, Fernwood Avenue right-of-way, and the southerly route)
was displayed.
Councilman Duncan stated that he would like to go on record
as approving the northerly route; that is the only route
that will protect the City
The City Manager said that until the staff meetings were
held nothing can be done. They will then present their
exact route
Councilman McMillan expressed the opinion that when the
time comes the Council should be able to say that the
northerly route is the only route that the City Council
of the City of Lynwood wants.
It was moved by Councilman Duncan, seconded by Councilman
McMillan, that the City Council go on record as stating
that the only acceptable route is the notherly route.
Councilman Smith expressed the belief that the word "only"
should not be used; but an alternative should be given
the State officials.
The Manager suggested that the wording be "most acceptable
route."
Councilman McMillan stated that of the three routes proposed
the northerly one is the only acceptable routee
Mr~ Jerry Rokos, 12217 Bullis Road, asked if the figures

Mr, John Kanka, 5131 Walnut, questioned the realignment of
the Long Beach Freeway and the estimated cost, and was
informed of several instances where freeways have been
realigned to accommodate additional freeways.
Mr. Henry Van Compernolle, 3125 Louise Street, asked if
the northerly route is selected, what route would it
most likely take ,as it proceeds east of the City of
Lynwood, and he was told it would most likely drop south
to cross Atlantic Avenue at approximately Imperial
Highway; that it would not be as feasible to continue
on a directly east or north easterly line as it could
interfer with either the existing cloverleaf or have
to cross both the Rio Hondo and Los Angeles River.

Proposed The proposed ordinance regulating dancing where intoxicating
dance ord. liquor is sold which was held over for study from the
discussed previous meeting was again presented.
Councilman McMillan said he thought it was a fine ordinance
and was in general concurrence with t~
Councilman Duncan also said he thought it was a very good
ordinance but asked for clarification of Section 5, Section
10 (c) (5) and Section 13.
The City Attorney explained that if such a business is sold,
the new owner would have to obtain a new permito If a
license is revoked, a new permit could not be granted to
the same person for at least one year.
Councilman Duncan also questioned the minimum age of persons
giving dancing instruction in such places of business as
provided in Section 18.
The City Attorney said the minimum age is a matter of
discretion or judgment.
The requirements of Section 5 concerning special. Police
Officers were questioned and the City Attorney referred
the inquiry to the Chief of Police who said that up to this
time if someone conducting a public dance requests an
officer, they have been referred to private companies; if
the crowd could not be controlled, then a reserve officer
would be providede
The problem of zoning was discussed as at the present,
dancing establishments of this type are specifically a
C-3 use.
Councilman Smith questioned Section 3 "Lighting" requirements
and Section 10 (c) (1) "cheek to cheek" dancing; Section 10
(c) (3) "transporting beverages on dance floor during time
dancing is in progress;" Section 10 (c) (10) "Employee
