9. TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK:
Lucinda Grant, 5434 North El Monte Avenue expressed her concern re-
garding the flow of traffic on El Monte Avenue during the upcoming
Summer Olympics and inquired as to what steps, if any, will be taken
to alleviate the problem. She also stated she had attended the public
hearing on a property nuisance case at the Planning Commission meeting
and talked to the person involved who is a widow and was under the
impression that she had to maintain her yard in a "golf course" fashion,
but Mrs. Grant informed her that it should be maintained to comply with
the Fire and Safety Code, and she is making progress in that regard.
Following discussion, Councilmembers concluded that the flow of traffic
during the Summer Olympics in all likelihood would not exceed that of
the special events racing days held during the regular Santa Anita
Meet and a joint effort coordinated between Temple City and Arcadia
law enforcement should handle the problem adequately.
Mary Manning, 5728 Golden West, Service Unit Chairman of Temple City
Girl Scouts, and Chris Parker, 5214 Camellia, Association Chairman,
expressed their thanks and appreciation to the City Council and the
City for their support, efforts, and concerns- regarding the proposed
sale of the girl scouts facility on Longden by the Sierra Madre Girl
Scouts Council. It has given them a strong degree of confidence to
know the City is behind them.
Mayor Gillanders stated he and Mr. Koski are meeting with the presi-
dent and executive director of Sierra Madre Council on November 16,
and in addition to expressing the displeasure of the Council, will
see if there is anything that can be done to keep the Temple City
Girl Scouts meeting hut in Temple City.
Robert Pitts, 5312 Degas, on behalf of the Sister City organization,
thanked the City Council for their support and efforts in the Sister
City program; introduced Joanne Rosso and John Peebles, part of the
Executive Committee; and stated they were looking forward to the visit

tation to anyone wishing to participate in the Sister City Organiza-
