6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
PUBLIC HEARING: Robert Voegeli, Zone Case No. 60 -9
Woollett stated the hearing was a result of the variance request
originally submitted to the Planning Commission, who held a pub-
lic hearing necessitated because the area was short 410 sq. ft.
of required amount. The Commission recommended to the Council
denial of the request. The location of this property is at
10847 Freer St. The .Mayor asked if Mr. Voegeli was present.
Mr. Robert Voegeli, 544 W. Norman, Arcadia, stated he owned the
property mentioned and the Planning Commission turned down his
request one month ago because he was lacking 410 sq. ft. The
reason he wants to build a home there is to clean up the existing
mess and improve the .property.
W. Lindner, 9835 E. Garibaldi, Temple City, stated he owned the
property at 10859 Freer, and he felt to clean up the chicken
houses and build 'another house on the rear of these lots would
beautify Temple City, and unless you can do this you have .a
large lot you can do nothing with.
Dick Duncan, 9801 Mission, Rosemead, stated he was speaking for
Mr. Voegeli, and if proposed R3 zoning on Welland goes through
the adjoining rear lot would be R3, and this might be a buffer
zone here of R2 between the R3 and R1. Otherwise a variance can
control directly what is done about these properties. Also be-
lieves there is need for something to be done to protect these
property owners.
The .Mayor then asked if anyone wished to speak against the re-
quest.
Dickason stated he was at the Hearing the Planning Commission
held and some alternate solutions were proposed at that time and
he .wondered if the owner had considered them.
Mr. Duncan advised one alternative was other property could be
bought making additional footage and have driveway go out in
back. However rear property is in three parcels. Also if a street
were to come through cost would not be justified as there are
more rear homes than show on the map.
Tyrell stated he _failed to see how putting a new house on the
back will increase the property value very much or bring in the
right people. A 2 bedroom home would mean children and there is
not enough room, but 3 lots could be put together and make two
lots. The front structure is an eye-sore and if going to keep it
up he should first keep up the front before trying to keep up
the rear. The Council saw the front and also the back and were
not impressed.
Dickason said if owners not able to do something to justify keep-
ing it up the only purpose of two units was for income property.
Mr. Voegeli said if you do not give him a chance to do something
to improve it how can you expect him to keep it up.
110
Council Minutes, January 23, 1961 page 2
Tyrell said present structure is not kept up.
Dickason stated he had been out and looked at a lot of these
lots and building a shack in back of a shack is not the answer.

be approved and that petition for purposes on property therein
described be denied, Tyrell seconded, roll call vote as follows:

12, REQUEST FOR ABATEMENT OF LIGHT & AIR EASEMENT LOTS 6 -7 -8 TRACT
#10558. Woollett advised this was placed on the agenda at the
request of the property owners of Lots 6, -7 -8.
Mr. August J. Goebel, 3r35 Huntington Drive, Pasadena, spoke
as an attorney representing the property owners. He stated
this was denied by the City Council on December 12, 1960, and
his clients had relied on certain conferences with the County
regarding this abatement, and as permits and construction was
approved by them and :already constructed with garages on this
easement. As it now stands the Title & Trust Co. will not give
a policy to these people and some $20,000. is being held up.
The funds will not be released until a policy can be written.
It is pretty much a matter of relying on things they properly
should not have relied on and asking you to correct these mis-
takes made by our clients. The basic purpose in turning this
petition down was the fact you feel the easement as it is now
in form of a "T" would permit development of the rear end of
these lots. This would only effect the northerly portion of
this and you would still have access from short street coming
in from the west and turning south.
Merritt asked if the Title Ins. Co. gave clear title to this
before building was taken up and was advised this has always
appeared on the title report and how clients got boxed in on
this he did not know, but would not have relied on a telephone
conversation.
Tyrell asked if the Title Co. did not ask if you had an option
in policy concerning easement, and Mr. Goebel advised he tried
to talk with the lending institution from standpoint of option.
Title insurance said if they would get a letter from the City
Council they would do this and the only way was to present it
to you. I personally do not see how any person owning property
there, or the City itself, would be harmed by abating this ease-
ment, and if you insist these garages be torn down you would
have to do the same thing to the rest of them.
Tyrell explained the problem right now is the City is waiting
for a Master Plan and are trying to hold a status quo until they
arrive at some plan. Also that the Council have not contemplated
removal of garages. Buchan asked if they had talked with property
owners of Lot #5 and Mr. Goebel advised they had not. Merritt
felt the main problem was if they were to abate this easement
what effect it would have on other property in area. Mr. Goebel
stated there had been certain restrictions placed on the property
in 1931 by former owner Glickman, which expired in 1941 and
1944. However his clients found out there had been a dedication
and that the easement was on the map.
Tyrell moved to take another look at the property, Dickason
seconded.
112
Council Minutes, January 23, 1961, page 4
Howard Spott$,10034 Olive, this is not a road easement but a
light and air easement, and he had permits from the County since
1554 when it was built and foes not see why in danger of tear-
ing off his garage and ruining his house which is attached.
Lem Ward, 22 W. Live Oak, Arcadia, felt it a good plan to aban-
don all light and air easements and City would have more of a
plan to control the area in the Master Plan. It was placed on
there only as a proposal as possibly to be developed as a road
at some future time.
Buchan stated it reserves the property from being built on.
Mr. Hermanson of DAR Construction Co., stated the easement was
a mistake from the beginning, and when originally purchased
first thing they knew the easement was on there. They promised
Mr. Condon it was just a matter of routine and it was going to
be taken care of by the County. tie whole thing is they are in
a spot, and funny part is they got a loan and approved plans
and approved plot plans. Every time they go to get a permit for
building if an easement they will not give you a permit. The
whole trouble is they have they garages on the easement and to
conform would have to tear out garages garages. They have done
wrong but did not mean to as they would not have invested that
kind of money.,_,:.

13. APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL CITY PERSONNEL.
Woollett stated this concerns hiring two additional personnel
to work in the City Hall. At present the City has one Deputy
City Clerk, one Stenographers - Secretary. The staff is expected
to handle functions as required of a City. Time has come when
City seems to have a great deal of business if we do what is
necessary to do. The positions budgeted are for an Administra-
tive Assistant, and a Stenographer - Clerk. The Administrative
Assistant would report directly to the City Manager, and by
virtue of training and experience would be in a position to
handle a great deal of necessary studies that mast be done for
the City. Might mention some of the things I feel should be
done:
1. Costing current County contracts - -At the present time
we have to rely on analysis of Auditor - Controller of
County as to our getting what we are paying for.
2. Procedural analysis - -We have 20 to 30 contracts with the
County and we are not exactly sure of the way in which
people of our City are being treated by people perform-
ing these services although the County employees are
working for the City.
3, Increase in work load, There is more work to do and
this requires more people in the City Hall.
4. Study of what City participation should be made within
the City including curb and gutter improvement. The
City should determine on some plan for participation
in these kinds of projects.
5. Certain work in conjunction with the Master Plan,
6. Extensive land use survey for analysis, and an economic
analysis. How is money spent and where, and what direc-
tion is the City going and which direction should we go.
7. Preparation of budget for next 'fiscal year.which requires
a great deal of analysis as follows:
a. in respect to two parks
b. consideration of recreation program
c. study of parking problem
d. poll be conducted concerning people living in the
City asking what reaction to becoming a City etc.
e. establishing a personnel system with respect to
salaries with raise so many months ahead, to
vacations, sick leave, retirement, etc.
f. Civil Defense plan- establishment of a local plan
just for this City.
113
Council Minutes, January 23, 1961, page 5
g. analysis of business license ordinance. At present
only 25% are paying a business license.
h. analyze what business license fees are equitable.
i. formulation of program in conjunction with Parks
& Recreation Commission for next year.
The Administrative Assistant recommended more than meets job
specifications as required.as political science, public admin-
istration, business administration or related fields, and also
two years experience. He has a B.A., 3 years experience in
government, and I feel more than qualified for the position so
f am requesting the Council to employ this man, Karl L. Koski
at $575. per month, the position wage scale $516. to $615.
Also additionally recruiting has been carried on for the posi-
tion of stenographer - clerk, and a proficiency examination given
Saturday in typing and dictation, and from applicants would like
to recommend Isabel W. Shaber who has several years experience
and lives in Temple City. She is competent and I feel will be
an asset to the City. The wage scale is $303. to $375. a month
and it is recommended she be appointed at $337. per month.
Tyrell asked is this salary for the Administrative Assistant
for a particular period of time, and Woollett advised they are
hired and fired by the City Manager. Mr. Koski was born and
raised in Alhambra, is 30 yrs. of age with three children.
Tyrell moved to adopt Res. No. 60 -112 employing Karl L. Koski
as Administrative Assistant at a salary of $575. with increase
at 6 months intervals of 5% to a maximum of $641. per month,
and to approve the employment of Mrs. Isabel Schabel as a
Stenographer- Clerk in salary range of $303. to $375. and start-
ing at the third step of $355. to increase at six month inter-
vals at 5% to a maximum of $375. Buchan seconded.
Walter Griesmeyer, Mgr. Security -First National Bank, felt
Woollett could advise and a man could be hired for a lot less
than quoted here, such as a young college man under supervision.
He stated ne would not pay $337. a month for a steno -clerk in
his bank, and he felt the City of Temple City was designating
a wage scale for Temple City.
Woollett pointed out because of our size and because we do not
need a great many employees we do have to have someone that can
take dictation, and it is very unsatisfactory to hire a young
inexperienced girl as it takes a person of maturity.
Car, -„„r„d iai ckason stated his first inclinations in respect to adding to
eh�u�ry'� the staff at the City Hall was to sort of take a dim view due
to the fact we are a contract city and getting most of the
services from the County felt we could call upon some of the
County employees for some of these services. I am also convinced
after seeing all the possible projects named here, and have come
to the conclusion we are not getting our moneys worth out of
these people and I am going to ask fees be reduced. Possibly
for the next two or three years we can utilize them to the
City's advantage and for this reason I favor it.
Fitzjohn stated we have a lot of things to do in the next few
years and he sincerely hopes that if this man is put an the
force that all of these things mentioned can be done.
Buchan stated he had been a little disappointed when he could
not get information he wanted to so can realize that there is
not a sufficient staff to handle what is going on at the pre-
sent time, Roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Councilmen- Buchan, Dickason, Merritt, Tyrell & Fitzjohn
NOES: Councilmen -None
ABSENT: Councilmen -None
14. RENEWAL STREET MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT -L. A. CO. ROAD DEPT.
Woollett stated at the time the agreement was executed it was
the understanding it was a 5 year agreement and our copies in-
dicate that is true. The copy the Board of Supervisors has
does not indicate 5 years so have had Resolution No. 61 -113
drawn which will renew it for five years. The Council is not
giving up the option to cancel whenever they desire to do so.
Tyrell moved to waive further reading of Resolution No. 61 -113,
Buchan seconded. Merritt stated he did not feel the City is
114
Council Minutes, January 23, 1961, page 6
getting the level of service we were getting prior to becoming
a City. In getting around the City where street sweepers have
gone he has noticed streets are almost as bad as before he came.
Woollett stated a change has been made in the sweeping. Before
City streets were swept about every two weeks. Since incorpor-
ation he asked the Superintendent of Streets for a survey to in-
dicate how much they were picking up. The reason was that people
have a tendency when they know the sweeper is coming to put .every
thing in the street before he gets there and he has to clean it
up with the possibility of picking up something in the debris in-
jurious to the elevator such as rocks, etc. Since the survey was
completed the streets are swept every 9 days instead of 2 weeks
and at :irregular times making pick -up oftener and less debris.

Woollett advised Mr. Whitnall was present and would answer any
questions they might have regarding the Master Plan 701 program.
or if the Council preferred would be willing to confer at a
special meeting with the Council and Planning Commission. Mayor
Fitzjohn felt they should spend a whole evening on just this
program, and Tyrell also thought so. Buchan suggested possibly
an educational program could be started by a series of published
articles so the people would get a better idea of what the money
would be spent for. Following discussion it was decided to
call a Special Meeting of the Council and invite the Planning
Commission to attend and have Mr. Whitnall go over thoroughly
plans and figures of the Master Plan and 701 program.
