8. COMMUNICATIONS:
A. TEMPLE CITY Y'S MEN'S CLUB - REQUEST APPROVAL OF WAIVER
OF THE DEADLINE DATE FOR FIREWORKS BOOTH LICENSE
City Manager Koski presented a communication from the Temple City
Y's Men's Club requesting approval of a waiver of the deadline to
file application for fireworks booth for Temple City Family YMCA
and Temple City Y's Men's Club. They had been working to secure
new.locations and missed the filing deadline.
Bruce Clayton, 720 N. Louise, Arcadia, represented the YMCA
in their request stating he felt the letter is self - explanatory.
Councilman Atkins stated he has mixed feelings, particularly
since learning the fireworks companies do work with the organi -.
zations and remind them of the filing dates and a month has gone
by since the applications were approved. This seems to be a
chronic problem and Council always says they are not going to
extend the deadline.
Councilman. Dennis stated that his feelings were expressed at the
time the deadline was extended for Kare Youth that if the dead-
line is extended for one it should be extended for all. He feels
Council should either adhere to the March 31 deadline or allow
all of them extra time, rather than continuing to extend the time
frame one at a time.
Councilman Gillanders stated he does not have a problem with the
request, however there is not much time for Fire Department in -.
vestigation and he feels the late applications are a discourtesy
to the Council and staff.
City Manager Koski advised these applications would still bring
the total to under the number of booths approved last year and
the organization has indicated they have all of their paper work
done and ready to submit.
Mayor Merritt stated that if it would be no problem to the staff
he would move to extend the filing deadline for YMCA for 10 days
and City Manager authorized to approve, seconded by Councilman
Atkins and carried, Councilman Dennis noting his objection.
B. L. A. COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT - REQUEST FOR USE OF E.O.C.
Councilman Gillanders moved to approve the request of the Los
Angeles County Fire Department to use the E.O.C. May 26 and 27
