and the parking facilities to be ready on Nov. 15 and the land-

City Manager Koski presented a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Fickes,
6258 Hart Ave., requesting reconsideration by the Council of
their variance request, which was denied at a public hearing on
June 8, 1966. Mayor Tyrell called upon the City Attorney to
express the options that are available to the Council.
City Attorney Martin stated in connection with the application
for reconsideration his opinion was the application must be
denied, that there is no reconsideration of an action finally
concluded. There is a one year waiting period and then the re-
quest must be reprocessed by the Planning Commission and City
Council in accordance with the Code. If the plans were sub-
stantially changed they could reapply prior to the year waiting
period, or the Planning Commission could initiate a variance
based on a precise plan which would be a cul de sac. Planning
Director Dragicevich saidchat he had talked with the applicants
and they are willing to submit a new plan but not substantially
different, which would be four lots with a 22 ft. street which
is way substandard and the City cannot accept substandard streets
He also advised another avenue open to them would be a lot split
procedure with a private driveway 30 ft. wide. However their
application was for a 20 ft. driveway.
Following discussion Councilman Clemson moved the staff work
with the Fickes' and that the fee be waived for reconsideration
by the Planning Commission, Councilman Harker seconded, and the
motion was carried unanimously.

Council Minutes, August 16, 1966, page 7
City Manager Koski advised the Council that a legal description
had been incorrectly noted on a lien for a curb and gutter pro-
ject and was so filed by the City. Subsequently buyers of the
property by the name of Swinehart purchased the property and
received the tax bill with the assessment on it. The City
Attorney advised the City should repay the assessment to the
Swineharts and proceed to collect from the previous owners,
in the amount of $180. Councilman Clemson moved to reimburse
the Swineharts on condition of getting an assignment and to
recover the amount from the sellers, the Oleas', Councilman
Harker seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. The
City will make the check out in the sum of the assessment on
their tax bill and the City Attorney will prepare the appro-
priate assignment so the City can collect from the previous
owners.
The Chief Deputy City Clerk requested authorization for drawing
warrants for registration and room deposit for the forthcoming
League of California Cities conference in San Diego, the amount
to be determined as soon as attendance is confirmed. Council-
man Merritt moved to approve, Councilman Clemson seconded, and

a warrant to be drawn payable to the Postmaster to cover the
costs of mailing the sample ballots in the forthcoming special
elections on Sept. 13, 1966, for Annexation #11 and Annexation
#12, the amount to be determined when they are ready for mailing.
Councilman Harker moved to authorize this warrant, Councilman
Merritt seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
City Manager Koski advised that he would be on his vacation
from Aug. 22 through the 26th of August with Council approval.
Councilman Clemson asked about the available position for
steno and the City Manager advised it was difficult finding a
qualified person.
Councilman Merritt stated he was not quite as disappointed as
some of the Councilmen re the parking districts but felt a
start was being made and he believed the others will see the
error of their way and follow suit in completing other areas.
Public ':Works Director Pizzorno stated the house on the southeas:
corner of Baldwin and Daines should be declared surplus prop-
erty and disposition ordered. A mover estimated $1800. to
raise the house up and $600. to move three miles, and a total
of about $8000. to put the house in shape, or he would purchase
it for about $1000. and take it out. The City Manager re-
commended it be declared surplus and authorize the staff to
negotiate the best possible disposal. Councilman Merritt so
moved, Councilman Clemson seconded, and the motion carried
unanimously.
