HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: DESIGN ENGINEERING FOR LONG BEACH BOULEVARD (PHASE I)
IMPERIAL TO MULFORD
Attached for Council consideration are a proposal and agreement to provide
plans and specifications for that portion of Long Beach Boulevard from Imperial
Highway to Mulford designated as Phase I of the Long Beach Realignment Pro-
gram.
Beginning final construction design at this time, plans and specifications for
this portion of the project can be completed in six months. It is believed that
by that time, the City will have acquired a significant portion of the property
on both the west and east side of the street in this vicinity. The east side take
is basically sidewalk area.
The cost of the engineering portion of this project is an estimated $27, 500.
Funds would be drawn from Special Gas Tax Fund 2106 which presently has
a balance of $669, 000.
It is proposed that the Council continue to use the engineering firm of Lampman
and Associates for this project in as much as the City earlier contracted with
this firm for the preliminary studies on Long Beach Boulevard. Professional
engineering services are not required to be competitively bid under the
government code and most professional engineering firms will not enter into
such bidding. The above price is based upon a 7Z% estimated cost of con-
struction as provided in the American Society for Civil Engineers Manual.
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize the Mayor to execute the attached agreement between the
City and Lampman and Associates for the design engineering of the Phase I
portion of Long Beach Boulevard from Imperial Highway to Mulford.

CITY OF UNWOOD
CITY MANAGERS
OFFICE
We are pleased to submit this proposal for professional engi-
neering and landscape architectural services for the design of
the portion of Long Beach Boulevard designated Phase 1 in the
Long Beach Boulevard Project Report dated April 30, 1971,
A. PROJECT COMPLETION
1. Obtain survey information which will be necessary to
complete the design of the project, recognizing that
much of the topography and horizontal control was
completed in conjunction with the Long Beach Boule-
vard Project Report.
2. Obtain soil testing for the design of the roadway
structural section.
3. Secure all available utility and substructure data
and other information necessary to complete the pro-
ject design.
4. Coordinate all phases of the project with affected
utilities, City staff, Division of Highways, and
County of Los Angeles personnel.
5. Provide necessary right -of -way engineering assistance
to City's right -of -way appraisers and negotiators.
6. Prepare construction plans for the boulevard, including
design of the attendant traffic signals, street light-

Prepare specifications and contract documents.
8. Assist City in obtaining construction bids.
9. Provide general supervision during construction.
B. TIME SCHEDULE
We propose to complete the project within six months; however
should this timing not conform to the City's schedule, we are
prepared to meet any time schedule the City desires for com-
pletion of the project.
C. PROJECT PERSONNEL
Project Engineer for the Long Beach Boulevard design will be
Robert J. Mimiaga. Mr. Mimiaga is familiar with the proposed
improvement, having prepared the Long Beach Boulevard Project
Report and served as Lynwood City Engineer in 1971.
Mr. Mimiaga has had considerable experience with the design of
urban arterial projects on Badillo Street, Second Avenue, and
Citrus Avenue in Covina; Hacienda Boulevard in La Puente;
Katella Avenue and Western Avenue in Stanton; and Arrow Highway
and Bonita Avenue in San Dimas.
Weston Pringle, P.E., will be responsible for the design of
the traffic signals and street lighting. Mr. Pringle has had
extensive experience in both areas. In Inglewood over twenty
miles of modern urban arterial street lighting has been de-
signed by Mr. Pringle, as well as projects in downtown Torrance
and Covina. In addition, Mr. Pringle has designed several
dozen traffic signals in the last two years, including systems
in downtown Baldwin Park and Covina.
Highway beautification and landscape design of the roadway
medians will be performed by Warren B. Turner, licensed land-
scape architect. Mr. Turner has designed highway beautification
projects in West Covina, Pomona, Stanton, La Puente, E1 Monte,
and others, including the downtown business districts of Covina
and Baldwin Park.
D. FEES
The fee for Items A3 through A9, inclusive, will be based on
Curve A as outlined in American Society of Civil Engineers Manual

Mr. Ronald Prince
March 6, 1972
Page 3
No. 42 "Consulting Engineering ", 1972. Some of the preliminary
information normally required for a design project such as this
was actually obtained while preparing the Long Beach Boulevard
Project Report under a separate contract. Because of this, we
are proposing to compute our fee for this project on the basis
of 85% of ASCE Curve A.
Items Al and A2, surveying and soil testing, will be billed
additionally at the actual cost to Lampman and Associates for
these outside services in accordance with the ASCE Manual.
Lampman and Associates will work closely with the City staff
members whose knowledge is essential for the successful com-
pletion of this project, with the recognition that we cannot
burden the staff with technical and administrative details.
If you have any questions regarding this proposal, how we plan
to complete the work, or need additional information, please
call us.

SUBJECT: Santa Fe Avenue Sale -Trade of Excess Property
Gentlemen:
The Planning Commission and the City Council are in the process of
considering right -of -way alignment for the Santa Fe Avenue extension
project. Public hearings and Council action procedures will ultimately
be completed by late June, 1972; however, a unique situation has
presented itself in relation to this project which warrants Council consid-
eration.
Filbar Furniture of California is established at the intersection of
Butler Avenue and the proposed Santa Fe Avenue right -of -way (see
attached map) and has been located in the City of Lynwood for a number of
years. Filbar Furniture is presently planning a considerable addition to
their existing building which will include both additional warehouse facili-
ties and a complete new office structure. A portion of the parcel on which
the new structures will be located extends into the proposed right -of -way
of Santa Fe Avenue (Parcel A) and will have to be acquired by the City of
Lynwood. In addition, the City owns one irregular shaped parcel which
will not be needed for the Santa Fe right -of -way (Parcel B) and another
parcel which is currently Butler Avenue'right -of -way (Parcel C) and will be
become excess land upon completion of the Santa Fe project. Therefore
this proposal is presented to the City Council for consideration of a trade
of properties for the Filbar Furniture parcel and a sale of the excess land
which will be available after the trade.
The total project provides for the City of Lynwood's acquisition of 2024
square feet of property owned by Filbar Furniture Company and the sale
of 10, 480 square feet of land owned by the City of Lynwood. Therefore the
total effect of this trade -sale will be in the amount of 8456 square feet
which will be purchased by the Filbar Furniture Company. After prelimi-
nary discussions and an offer of $. 90 per square foot by the Filbar Furniture,
the three parcels were appraised and a cost of $1. 25 per square foot was
established. After further discussions with Filbar Furniture 'representatives,
the Company agreed on the $1. 25 per square foot cost ($10, 570 total cost).
Filbar is now requesting, that this purchase -trade be consummated to enable
them to proceed with construction.
Another item which affects these parcels is that of proper zoning. The
parcel on which the Filbar plant is presently located is zoned M -2; however,
their property line is divided between M -2 and R -3 zoning and the land on
which the new construction will take place must be rezoned to M -2. The
Filbar purchase of the City property would be contigent upon final approval
by the Planning Commission and the City Council for a zone change from
'�b
• S
R -3 to M -2. Application to the Planning Commission for a zone change
on this property is pending Council action on this matter.
There are two basic actions that need to be initiated should the Council
wish to proceed with this trade -sale. Adoption of the attached resolu-
tion provides for the Council to handle all property acquisitions or
abandonments of a minor nature which are created by street widening
or alignment. This provides for elimination of Planning Commission
approval prior to City Council action on property "of a minor nature"
which is defined as less than 15, 000 square feet. This compliance with
Section 65402 (a) of the California Government Code still provides for
Commission review and recommendation on all projects above this
maximum size. This resolution will apply to all such acquisitions and
abandonments in the future as well as upon this specific project.
The second action required would be to direct staff to take the
necessary steps to place the property in escrow with the provisions
as outlined in this study.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the attached resolution regarding the City's conformance
with provisions of Section 65402 of the Government Code and further
approve the exchange and sale of properties outlined in the study and
direct sta take the necessary steps to carry out this transaction.

property shall be disposed of unless the proposed acquisition or
disposition of has been submitted to and reported upon by the Planning
Commission as to the conformity thereof with the adopted General Plan;

the City Council so provides by ordinance or resolution; and
WHEREAS, it is presently contemplated that the City of Lynwood
will have occasion to acquire and abandon numerous properties of a
minor nature; and
WHEREAS, it is not necessary for the preservation of the health,
safety and general welfare of the residents of the City of Lynwood that
the Planning Commission make a report on such minor acquisitions and
abandonments; and
WHEREAS, the acquisition and abandonment of properties of
minor consequences will more efficiently be administered if a Planning
Commission report thereon is not required,

SUBJECT: City Owned Property - 11263 Wright Road
Gentlemen:
The City currently owns a 50' by 150' parcel of land located at 11263
Wright Road which has a small single family residence rented on a
month -by -month basis. The tenant who has been occupying this
residence under a rental agreement signed in 1963, has presented the
City with official notice and has vacated the premises as of April 1,
1972. The rental agreement provided for $60 per month rental rate
which has not been changed since 1963. It is estimated that the present
worth of this property would require from $100 to $110 per month rent
to provide the City with a reasonable return.
In an attempt to determine the City's ability to make such a rental rate
increase, the City Attorney has reviewed the Economic Stabalization
Regulations as set down by the Cost of Living Council. These provide
that for single family dwelling units which are rented on a month -to-
month basis, a 2. 5% limitation on rental rate increases has been
established and is strictly enforced. A 2. 5% increase would allow the
City to increase this rental rate by only $1. 50 per month.
The rental of the property at the current rental rate would not provide
the City with an equitable rate of return for this parcel, and therefore
it is proposed that Council consider the sale of this City owned property.
In addition, sale would also place the land back on the tax rolls. Should
the Council wish to consider sale, an appraisal should be made to deter-
mine market value and it should then be advertised for public sale by
sealed bid, as would the sale of any other type of City owned property.
RECOMMENDATION
Council direct staff to initiate the appraisal and sale of this City owned
property located at 11263 Wright Road.

SUBJECT: SANTA FE AVENUE RE- ALIGNMENT PROJECT --
SETTING OF PUBLIC HEARING
Gentlemen:
At the April 11, 1972, regular meeting of the Planning Commission, the
Commission held a public hearing for amending the circulation element of
the General Plan by establishing a new alignment and new set -back lines
for Santa Fe Avenue,
This improvement project is being planned with the cooperation of the Los
Angeles County Road Department and will extend from Los Angeles to the
Long Beach Harbor Area. Included in this project will be the widening of
Santa Fe Avenue to major highway standards, meaning a 100 foot right -of-
way, a curb -to -curb width of 84 feet with 14 feet medians. Within the limits
of the City of Lynwood the improvement will extend from 110th to Weber
Streets.
At the conclusion of the public hearing the Planning Commission by unani-
mous vote adopted the following two resolutions entitled, (1) A RESOLUTION
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD AMENDING
THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT OF THE LYNWOOD GENERAL PLAN BY
ESTABLISHING A NEW ALIGNMENT FOR SANTA FE AVENUE, and (2)
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
AMENDING THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT OF THE LYNWOOD GENERAL
PLAN BY ESTABLISHING SET -BACK LINES FOR SANTA FE AVENUE.
Copies of these Resolutions are attached for your study.
Also, attached for Council study is the Ordinance which would be adopted by
the City Council if it approved this project following the setting of a public
hearing. It is proposed that the public hearing for this project be set for
May 16, 1972.
RECOMMENDATION:
Council direct the City Clerk to set the Santa Fe Avenue re- alignment hearing
for May 16, 72, at 7:3 in the Council Chambers of City Hall.

City limits of the City of Lynwood; and,
WHEREAS the Planning Commission had held public hearing(s)
on the adoption of an amendment to the general plan changing said align-

Lynwood; and,
WHEREAS the Planning Commission has further found and
determined that a new alignment for Santa Fe Avenue is in the public
interest and will help to promote the general welfare of the citizens of the
City of Lynwood and will not be materially detrimental to said public welfare
or injurious to the Property or improvements in the immediate vicinity,
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of
Lynwood resolves, orders, and determines as follows:
The circulation element of the general plan of the City of
Lynwood, and the alignment of Santa Fe Avenue as depicted therein, are

SUBJECT: CITY OF LYNWOOD AREA WIDE TOPICS STUDY
Gentlemen:
On July 15, 1971, an agreement was finalized between the City
and the State Division of Highways acting through the Federal
Highway Administration to perform a study toward improving the
traffic operations and safety for the City of Lynwood. This report
has been known as the Area Wide TOPICS Study, TOPICS being an
acronym for "Traffic Operations Program to Increase Capacity and
Safety ". The Study has now been completed by the traffic
engineering firm of Crommelin and Associates Inc., and contains
a comprehensive analysis of the existing traffic conditions,
identification of problem locations, and recommendations for
improvements including cost estimates.
The limits of the Study encompassed all of the streets within the
City of Lynwood. This included the arterial streets such as
Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach Boulevard, Century Boulevard, Bullis
Road and others. From this comprehensive study, problem areas
have been identified and potential improvements noted such as the
necessity to interconnect the traffic signals on Atlantic Avenue,
the illumination of street name signs along our important intersections,
the re- channelization at the intersection of Century Boulevard and
Abbott Road, and the modernization of many of our signalized inter-
sections throughout the City.
The Public Works Department has already begun to implement many
of the recommendations within this report. However, some of the
more costly recommendations such as re- channelization at the inter-
section of State Street and Long Beach Boulevard, and installing
interconnecting equipment for the traffic signals along Atlantic Avenue
will be included in the forthcoming 5 -year Capital Improvement
Budget.

SUBJECT: Police Department Temporary Facilities
Gentlemen:
At the meeting of April 4, 1972, the City Council directed staff to review
the possibilities of providing the Police Department with temporary office
facilities in an attempt to relieve the overcrowded situation in the depart-
ment until such time as funding is obtained and construction is initiated
on the proposed new addition. In reviewing the most effective possible
usage of such a facility with the Chief of Police, it was determined that
those staff offices currently located along the front of the Police Building
would be those which would best be relocated to serve the recommended
purpose.
These offices currently house the Chief of Police, the secretary to the
Chief of Police and the Lieutenants offices. Upon relocation, these vacant
offices could then be used for interrogation rooms, equipment relocation
and storage areas and report writing and dictation facilities. This usage
would further relieve some of the current overcrowded conditions in the
areas of the Police Department. In addition, the vacation of these
offices will ultimately be required upon initiation of construction of the
new Police addition, due to planned wall removal and remodeling changes.
In order to house these three offices, a trailer of approximately the same
size as the building department trailer (12' x 53') would be most adequate.
Such a trailer (approximately 640 square feet) would be partitioned in half
with two exterior doors. An estimated cost for this proposed facility is
$6,000.
Should the Council wish to proceed with acquisition of such a unit,
specifications will be prepared by the Building Department in order that
staff may advertise for bids. It is proposed that bid specifications be
prepared in such a way to enable manufactures to provide the City with
alternative rental, lease and purchase rates. This will provide the
Council with three alternatives for acquisition dependent upon Police
Department funding and construction time schedules which should be
available when bids are received.
A proposed time schedule for this project would be:
4/18 Council direct staff to prepare specifications.
512 Council approve specifications and authorize staff to
advertise for bids.
6/6 Council award bid for construction.
7/7 Delivery, installation and relocation complete.
RECOMMENDATION
Council direct staff to prepare specifications for the acquisition of
a mobil office trailer for the Lynwood Police Department.

SUBJECT: CONTRACT NO. 1972 -A, FIRE HYDRANT INSTALLATIONS
Gentlemen:
At 10:00 A. M, on March 29, 1972, bids were opened on the subject
contract, 1972 -A. One bid was submitted from Doty Brothers General
Contractors of Bellflower, California, for a total amount of $14,290.
This, bid amount is almost twice the Engineer's estimate of $7,400.
An attempt has been made by the City Engineer's Office to determine
the reason for this inordinately high bid, the response has been
generally the high cost of labor and material for this type of
installations work. Coupled with the fact that several contractors who
intended to submit bids did not due to other unforeseen commitments.
One of the reasons for the City going out to contract for this work
was that the timing for the installation work was designated at
approximately one month and one -half. Under the present condition,
if the City were to readvertise this project, it is probable the cost
of this work would be higher than the allocated amount under the
current Operating Budget. If the Water Division were to perform
this work, it would be done as time would permit; however, the cost
of this installation would be markedly reduced from the submitted bid.
The Staff's opinion is that even though time would be longer, the
work can be performed at a much reduced overall cost.
RECOMMENDATION
Council reject the bid of $14,290 as submitted by
authorize the Public Works Department to perform
own crews.

SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE BLOCK BLEACHERS
Gentlemen:
The attached memorandum from Parks and Recreation Director, Don Snavely,
requests authoriziation to demolish the existing wooden bleachers at the baseball
diamond, which were constructed in 1935, and replace them with concrete block
bleachers. Two of the three sets of these wooden bleachers were demolished
and rebuilt in 1965 at a cost of $6, 500 and he is proposing to purchase the mat-
erials for this remaining set of bleachers at an estimated cost of $1, 700 and
utilize City Employees and Baseball Association volunteers to do the construction.
He is further requesting that the capital fund allocation of $2, 000 for construction
of a temporary baseball diamond at L indbergh Park be transferred and utilized
for this purpose.
The existing bleachers are in extremely poor condition and due to their age
and construction, no amount of maintenance would make them adequate.
It also seems that funding the construction of a temporary ball diamond
should be withheld or utilized elsewhere since capital budgeting will most
likely provide for ultimate funding of a permanent facility.
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize construction of the concrete block bleachers as outlined
in this study. // /�/

Subject:
RECREATION AND PARKS DIRECTOR
CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE BLOCK BLEACHERS TO REPLACE
EXISTING WOODEN BLEACHERS.
The original wooden bleachers at City Park baseball diamond
N1 were constructed in 1935. In 1965 all but one section of
the wooden bleachers were replaced with concrete block
bleachers at a cost of approximately $6,500.00. The work was
done by contractors Skinner and Morgan and I.F. Rubeshaw. The
remaining section of wooden bleachers were not replaced be-
cause of lack of Capital funds.
During the past seven years several hundred dollars has been
spent in the painting, repairing and general maintenance of
the wooden bleachers. In 1971 the Building Department required
us to make some structural repairs for safety purposes. Addi-
tional money will have to be spent again this year if the
bleachers are to be property maintained in a safe and acceptable
manner.
Because of the design of the bleachers it is extremely diffi-
cult to clean underneath where large amounts of trash readily
accumulates during the baseball season, thus requiring exces-
sive maintenance problems.
Due to the age and deterioration of the bleachers a complete
renovation of the existing structure would not reduce maintenance
or safety problems substantially.
Members of our volunteer Baseball Association have approached
me as well as Recreation Commissioners and City Councilmen
about the replacement of the wooden bleachers for this baseball
season.
If the Capital Fund allocation of $2,000.00 (5- 101 -10 (3)) for
the ball diamond at Lindbergh Park could be used for the blea-
chers at the City Park I will make the following proposal;
A. It would be necessary for the Street Department to remove
the existing wooden bleachers and to bring in fill dirt for
bleacher foundation. Park employees and Baseball Assoc.
Volunteers to do the balance of the work according to the
plans designed by the Architectural firm of Williamson and
Morris for the other concrete bleachers in 1965.

POLICE FACILITY GRANT APP PROGRESS REPORT
Attached is a letter from Congressman Glenn M. Anderson to the Honorable
Jerris Leonard, the administrator of the Law Enforcement Assistance Ad-
ministratipn in Washington, D. C. It is expected that Mr. Leonard will
make a finding prior to the first Council meeting in May.
STREET LIGHTING PROGRAM PROGRESS REPORT
Representatives of the Southern California Edison Company have indicated
that installation of 95 street lights located in Area 1 of the Lighting Deficiency
Survey will commence on April 17. This includes that portion of the City
located west of Long Beach Boulevard and south of Lynwood Road.
In addition, the Engineering Department has completed the Deficiency
Survey for Area 2, which is basically located north of Fernwood and the
Imperial Highway west of Century Boulevard. In Area 2 it was found that
89 existing wood poles are in the proper locations to accept Edison Company
mast arm mountings. The results of the Area 2 Survey will be forwarded
to the Edison Company on April 14 in order to initiate the necessary pro-
ceedings for lighting this area.
WATER LINE PROJECT PROGRESS REPORT
The Public. Works Department has completed the water line installation project
along State Street south of Imperial Highway, Apricot Street, and the ease-
ment within the Montgomery Ward site. All work is now completed and the
water line is being clorinated and will be ready for service by April 17.
SPRING CLEAN -UP PROGRAM
On Saturday and Sunday, April 8 and 9, the City held its first Spring Clean -up
Campaign in five years. Both Public Works crews, plus the Army Reserves
with an additional ten vehicles, skiploaders, and 40 men worked to fill the
40 cubic yard bins at the Community Service staging area. Unquestionably
the campaign was a fantastic success. Forty -two bins which averaged seven
tons per bin were removed from the site over the weekend. That is an un-
believeable 450, 000 pounds of refuse. Because of the unprecedented amount
H of trash, the City Staff has continued removal work throughout the past week.

Public Works Department will be preparing a reply to the County Road Depart-
ment regarding the acceptability of this study. Implementation of certain
phases of this report will be scheduled by the Public Works Department pr }n-
cipally in the areas of street striping, signing, and channelization.
REACTIVITATION OF CITY'S WATER WELL NO. 5
Since January of 1971, the City's water well No. 5 located on Walnut Avenue and
Century Boulevard has been inactive due to damage in the well shaft. Most
recently, due to the relatively low rainfall in this area, it has been necessary
to pump more water from our underground sources. As a consequence, the
water division pulled the motor from this well and was fortunate that the
damage was in the upper portion of the steel shaft. This repair has now been
completed and the well reactivated. The quality of the water from this acqui-
fer is of excellent quality and is being introduced into the system at the rate
of approximately 600 gallons per minute.
SPUR TRACK FOR WATTS INDUSTRIAL PARK
Malone Builders, a division of Boise- Cascade, has completed the work of
constructing the spur track across Alameda Street in the vicinity of Industry
Way. This spur track will serve the new Dyna Manufacturing Company
facility. Southern Pacific has installed safety lighting equipment on both
sides of the track to protect traffic on Alameda Street during crossings.
This work involved the encasement of sewer lines, water lines, and the
construction of a concrete box culvert, and asphaltic concrete pavement
over this section of the spur track. The City has inspected this work and
the riding qualities of the street are satisfactory and acceptable.
MONTGOMERY WARD PROGRESS REPORT
John Burgess, in a telephone conversation with this office on Friday, April 14,
stated that the site would be recompacted and foundation bolt installations
placed in the immediate future. He further stated that steel erection would
begin the week of May 8.
LONG BEACH BOULEVARD DEMOLITIONS
The demolition contract has been let for the building at 11429 Long Beach
Boulevard. Bids will be awarded next week for the structures at 11435 and
11437,
DESSER TIRE PROGRESS REPORT
During the past week, the Mayor has completed the writing of an article entitled,
"Lynwood Seeks To Become Tireless City ". This article will be published in
NATION'S CITIES magazine in the near future. It is an appeal to solicit an
answer from across the country to this problem of ridding ourselves of these
tires. In the meantime, this Office and the City Attorney will be studying
zoning alternatives if a tactical answer cannot be found. Attached is a copy
of the Mayor's article.
ANNUAL OPERATING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGETS
Budget season will begin Monday, April 17. A budget calendar will be dis-
tributed to all department heads at that time.
