Sale of The Manager informed the Council that since the previous
Lautrup prop. meeting he has negotiated for the sale of the Lautrup
Robert C. property and has received an offer from Mr. and Mrs.
Hill Robert C. Hill for purchase of the house and cane and
~~
one-half lots for a total price of $15,000. He said he
now believed that the primary value of the property is in
the land only and that in considering the Hill offer, the
value of the house as opposed to the value of the land
must be determined. It was his belief that the Council
should discuss the matter with Mr. Hill if his offer is
not satisfactory.
Mr. Robert C. Hill addressed the Council to state that
he believed his offer to be fair, based on the price
~ of other property being offered for sale in the City;
that he wanted the house and was open to a counter
offer.
Various alternatives for disposition of the property
were discussed by the Council, including listing it
for sale with the realty board. It was the consensus
that it would be unacceptable to relocate the house
next to~the existing one-story dwellings facing Carlin
Avenue, and it would create a problem in disposing of
the remaining one and one-half lots next to Bullis
Road. In the ensuing informal discussion of price
among members of the Council and Mr. Hill, a price
of $18,000 for the house and the westerly one and
one-half lots was suggested. Mr. Hill's counter-offer
of $17,000 was followed by an offer of $17,500 for
the house and the westerly one and one-half lots.
After being assured by Mr. Hill that the offer was
firm, it was moved by Councilman Byork, seconded by
Councilman Stevens, .hat the Council accept Mr. Hill's
offer of $17,500 for the house and the westerly one
and one'=half lots .
Roll Call:
Ayes: Councilmen Byork, Green, Stevens.
Noes: Councilmen Siokos, Smith.
~ik~sent : None .
The Manager reported on the recent study made of the
Chamber of Commerce agreement and budget in which two
basic issues were analyzed: 1. The existing liability
in the city Promotion and Publicity account involving
both over and under-expenditures and, 2. Modifidations
of the existing city-chamber agreement to provide for
gross budgeting which would be off-set annually by
revenues accrued to the chamber from outside sources
as a result of city promotion and publicity functions.
During the past three years the Chamber has over-expended
$1,598.69 on prescribed activities, and the agreement
specifically states that no over-expenditures may be
made unless approval is granted to balance the
over-•expenditure with money made available from under-
expended activities. The Chamber of Commerce currently
has outstanding liabilities of $1,598.69 and an under-
expenditure of $780.23 which must be returned to the
City in accordance with the agreement. This amount is
being returned to the City currently by means of a
deduction from the monthly payment being made to the
Chamber. Investigation revealed that the over-expenditures
were made on legitimate advertising projects, and the
study committee recommended that the total liability
be underwritten by the City and that the City continue
to withhold the prorated amount to be returned to the
City for under-expenditures. Thus the net cost to the
City for underwriting the liabilities would be $818.46.

Report on In order to correct the problem of over-expenditures in
Chamber of the future, the following amendments to the basic
Commerce promotion and publicity agreement were made by the
budget committee:
1. That a gross budget be submitted to the Council
rather than attempting to prepare a net budget as is
presently being done.
2. That at the end of each fiscal year any income
received by the Chamber as a result of city promotion
and publicity functions will be returned to the City
in a lump sum payment.
3. That the City auditor be permitted to check the
Chamber general fund accounts to establish that all
revenues attributed to City budgeted items are applied
to the City fund.
4. That any over-expenditures be corrected immediately
by approved redirection of funds from under-expended
items. If the over-expenditure is less than $50,
written approval may be granted by the City Manager.
Tf the amount':exeeeds $50, approval`rnust be granted
by the City Council.
5. That quarterly prepayments to the Chamber be
initiated rather than the present monthly prorated
amount.
6. That any promotion and publicity function which has
been in the past, or can be in the future, designed to
underwrite a portion of its cost from outside sources,
will be continued or initiated.
It was recommended by the committee that the City
Council give serious consideration to authorizing:
1. The drawing of a warrant in the amount of $1,598.69
to underwrite outstanding Chamber of Commerce liabilities
while maintaining present reduced monthly payments, and
2. modification of the existing Chamber of Commerce
agreement to incorporate the above suggestions designed
to facilitate:.closer control and budgetary accountability.
In a brief discussion clarification of auditing
procedure was requested and the Council was informed
that under the new plan the City auditor would audit
the Chamber's city accounts as well as the general
Chamber account on a quarterly basis. It was moved
by Councilman Byork, seconded by Councilman Stevens,
and carried, that the report be accepted.
Suggested The Manager reported that pursuant to adoption of
employer- Section 3500 et seq. Government Code, which became
employee effective January 1, 1969, the League of California
relations Cities prepared a model ordinance establishing rules
ordinance and regulations for meeting the requirement to "meet
and confer in good faith" with employee organizations.
He presented for the Council's study copies of the
proposed ordinance which he has reviewed and modified
in some instances. The ordinance will be submitted to
the employee organizations for their opinions and if
valid suggestions are presented they may be included in
the proposal to the Council. If amendments are to be
included, they will be sent to the Council prior to a
