AYES: Councilman Haskell, Berg, Brazie and Houston NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Muse City Manager McCorison presented the following written REPORT ON REFUSE COLLECTION PRACTICES, dated November 8. it November 8, 1965 Honorable Mayor and City Council: REPORT ON REFUSE COLLECTION PRACTICES OBJECTIVE The ultimate purpose of conducting a study of refuse collection practices in the City of Beaumont was to provide the most effective collection of waste materials consistent with the lowest practicable cost. The BASIC approach to such a study necessarily involves the determination of current practices and the identification of problem affecting the ability I of the collection crew to provide effective service. Personal observation is essential to such determination and identification. The investigation included personal observation, coupled with discussions with the members of the crew and study of practices in other cities. DISCUSSION GENERAL. Observation revealed a number of avoidable practices in- fringing upon effectiveness. One such item involves collection in dead -end alleys, and on private property for servicing a large number of containers. 31 Another item relates to widespread independence in the number, type and size of containers - even to the extent that refuse is put out loose, or in grocery bags. Most spillage is attributable to malpractices of these kinds. Routings for residential collection are not balanced, requiring considerably more time for west side pick -up compared to east side pick -up. Public information concerning a practical approach to effective refuse collection appears to be lacking. Although the City has the primary responsibility for collecting and hauling, the individual customer has a propietary interest in that the more labor and hauling is imposed on City crews, the greater will be the cost to the customer. The customer would benefit from uniformity in practices and clarity in regulations. There are several commercial accounts which would be served much better by mechanical procedures utilizing 1, 2 or, 3 cubic yard bin -type containers. Our present scheduling requires our regular refuse crew to collect commercial on Saturdays, which is accomplished in 22 hours for which the crew is paid for 4 hours. In addition, the Street Department crew must make the ri commercial collection on Wednesdays and spends 4 hours on this service. The larger commercial accounts receive service many times the fee presently charged. The basic rate of $4.50 /month for two 30 gallon containers each day is all right. (However, one account now pays $8.50 for 4 barrels (2cy) V and should be paying 22.50 for 11 barrels 1 %c as an example). PY• g$ ( zY)� P )• A nmuber of places in the City have an enclosure to contain the refuse. In some cases, the garbage cans are placed in the enclosure. In others, the refuse is simply tossed into a cage. Both types require a considerable amount of extra labor for the City crew. Those enclosures with an open, or access, side should be encouraged provided the enclosure is used only to store the barrels and the customer keeps the enclosure clean inside and out. Overtime used in the past two years is a clear indication of overload - more work than one crew and truck can handle in a 40 -hour week. Workload is a function of population and commercial entities. Gradual growth will be accompanied by a corresponding increase in refuse collection workload. Holiday collection is usually considered as justifiable overtime. Unbroken boxes and wooden crates constitute a problem. Extra handling time is needed for loading. These items do not compact readily, resulting in inefficient compaction in the refuse truck, which could result in an extra trip to the disposal site. Round trips to the disposal site must be considered as lost time, so these should be kept to a minimum. Piling of refuse on top of containers is yet another malpractice. When containers are covered with loose refuse or rubbish in paper sacks or boxes, extra handling and clean up time is required. Sometimes barrels without lids have been tipped over and the contents spilled before our truck arrives at the stop. Again, extra time is required. The present policy on general clean up provides for Street Department crews to collect tree trimmings, and other non - conforming refuse, four months each year. As a consequence, there are sizable accumulations of these types of refuse in the off months. r..0NrT.TTq TOMq It is apparent that present practices in the City of Beaumont for the removal of refuse do not accomplish the primary purpose of keeping the City clean. The ordinances and resolutions which establish regulations need to be revised. RECOMMENDATIONS I. Revise ORDINANCE 232 to clarify policy and regulation. (Proposed revision attached). 2. Rescind all existing resolutions. Prepare new resolutions to establish fees, specifications for containers, schedules for collection, routes, etc. Eliminate dead end alley collection. 3. City contract with a private agency to collect certain commercial NWW 7Z accounts daily, and all commercial on Saturdays. Re- schedule Sanitation crew to make the Wednesday commercial collection. The regular work week for this crew would then be 9z hours per day Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; and 2 hours on Wednesday for a total of 40 hours per week. 4. Require cardboard boxes to be broken down and bundled, and foliage trimmings to be bundled. 5. Eliminate the special City clean -up in January, April, July and October. Substitute therefor a continuance policy whereby the occupant telephones the Sanitation Clerk when the occupant has a quantity of tree limbs and other unusual refuse to be picked up. When the Clerk has taken 6 to 10 calls, the Street Superintendent will schedule a day to make this special collection and the callers will be notified by the Sanitation Clerk specifying the day for that collection. 6. Eliminate all framed enclosures except those for barrels which provide ready access on the collection side. Permit the use of steel bins de- signed for mechanical handling furnished by the Rubbish Contractor. 7. Permit private hauling to City disposal site for persons having currently paid up accounts, but prohibit other hauling permit (as now). 8. Consider legalization of patented "paper -bag" containers for use at the option of the residential occupant and limited commercial accounts. 9. Prohibit piling of refuse on top of containers. Require the account to keep premises clean. 10. Provide for cancellation of service when an account is 30 days delinquent after billing. Enforce compliance with citations for failing to have refuse removed legally. 11. Require payment of fees in advance. (Recommendation of Auditors). 12. Develop a good public relations program with emphasis on keeping the public informed. L. E. McCorison City Manager if Mr. McCorison advised that the Cherry Valley Sanitation Service will enter into an agreement with the City to take care of certain Commercial Accounts daily and all Commercial Accounts on Saturday. Councilman Haskell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Berg: that City Manager's recommendation dated November 8 be accepted; that Paragraph Number 3 regards to City Contracting with a private agency to collect certain Commercial Accounts daily and all Commercial on Saturday be authorized; that the City Manager and City Attorney prepare an appropriate Contract.

Mayor Houston asked if anyone present wished to speak for or against the closing of the street. No one asked to be heard in favor of or opposed to the closing of a portion of Wellwood Avenue. The hearing was declared closed. City Attorney Berk was asked to prepare a resolution, ordering the vacating of a portion of Wellwood Avenue, reserving certain easements for man- holes for sewer lines, etc. Mayor Houston announced that this is the time and place of Public Hearing on an appeal from the action of the Planning Commission of the City of Beaumont, denying the application of Earl Brown for a variance of front yard setback. Mayor Houston invited those who wished to speak in favor of Mr Brown's variance being granted to speak very briefly. Mr. Brown, 1214 Orange Avenue explained that he felt it would not be against the ordinances of the City of Beaumont, to set his residence up in line with other buildings in the same block. He stated that he had discussed the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance with a friend in a nearby City who felt it was possible that theBeaumont Ordinance was very much like the ordinance in other Cities and it might be that a variance would not be required. He asked that in case a variance is not required, that his $20.00 be refunded. 53 January 25,196,5 Mr. Clarence Parker, 1255 Orange Avenue stated that he did not think it would hurt much if Mr. Brown's house is set up with other houses along the street. Mr. Larry Hudson, 1201 Orange stated he would have no objections, it would be better than a vacant lot. Mrs. Susan Eugenedes, 601 E. 12th stated she would have no objections to Mr. Brown building closer to the street. Mr. Harry LaBaw, 9465 Oak Glen Road,a trustee of Church property in the neighborhood stated that he felt the action of the Planning Commission should be upheld. Mr. Earl Hays, 1111 Orange Avenue stated he felt the buildings should be held back where it is supposed to be, he did not believe in spot zoning. Mr. Biby, City of Beaumont Building Inspector stated that the plans were checked by his Department at the time the permit was issued and one plan with the Department's stamp on 'it was given to the owner and 1 set of plans were stamped and retained by his office. The land was supposed to have been staked by a licensed surveyor.. The foundation of the house and the rough plumbing has been installed, not according to original plans, the present location of foundation and plumbing is turned one quarter of a turn, facing in a different direction, allowing only a set back of 16 feet, 3 inches from property line. The building is 10 or 12 feet longer one way that the other. The footing or foundation was inspected and approved, however, since that time a foundation for a garage has been installed in front of the original foundation, or at least the trenching was discovered on November 3rd. Councilman Brazie asked Mr. Brown if he realized there was a 25 foot setback requirement. Mr. Brown stated that he understood there was a 25 foot set back, but he had lined it up with other homes in the neighborhood. Mr. Lyman Burhop asked if the house is to be any further out in front than the adjoining houses. Mr. Brown advised that the front of garage will be the same as existing houses. Mr. Earl Brown asked if the City Zoning Ordinance has actually been violated. Mayor Houston read a letter from Mr. J.B. Thompson, Chairman of the Beaumont Planning Commission, dated January 20, regards to the Earl Brown Application for Zone Variance. The last paragraph of the letter is as follows: "After review it was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the prime reason for granting a variance, i.e., hardship on land, was not shown to exist, and since no relatively new buildings are existing in this particular area it was felt that the applicant was not being denied a use that others enjoy, therefore, the denial of the request for zone variance was voted." There being no further discussion offered, Mayor Houston declared the Hearing closed. He announced that since the City Council has 40 days in which to investigate facts and make a decision, the Council will take further action later and Mr. Brown will be notified of the decision made. The Minutes of the meeting of the Planning Commission, held January 13th.were noted and filed.

Mayor Houston announced "This is the time and place fixed by this City Council for hearing objections or protests on the proposed grades under the resolution of intention, Resolution No. 1966 -14 covering the construction of certain street improvement work, appurtenances and appurtenant work in the City of Beaumont." The City Clerk presented Affidavit of Publication, affidavit of mailing and posting notices and affidavit of filing assessment map with the County Recorder. Councilman Muse made a motion, seconded by Councilman Haskell: to approve the affidavits presented by the Clerk and that same be filed. AYES: Councilman Muse, Berg, Haskell, Brazie and Houston. NOES: None ABSENT: None Mayor Houston asked Mr. Harold Hartwick, City Engineer, to describe work in general, the boundaries of assessment district and any portion of plans he cared to discuss. Mr. Hartwick explained the work to be done by property owners through the 1911 Street Improvement Act. That the project included curb, gutter and driveway approaches along Beaumont Avenue from center of 5th Street to North to 14th Street. That plans have been approved by both the County of Riverside and the State Division of Highways. Mr. Dale King, as Assessment Engineer for the project explained more in detail - the boundaries of property involved. He explained that any curb, gutter or approaches and side walk now existing, if necessary to be removed, will be replaced at no cost to the property owner. Only additional cement work installed will be charged to the property owner. The Clerk was requested to read written protests which have been filed. A written protest was read, which was signed by Mr. Willis Carpenter and Mrs. Edith A. Carpenter, owners of the West 2 of Lot 5 and all of Lot 4, in the Valley Home Tract, located between 14th Street and Laraine Drive on Beaumont Avenue. Reason given for the protest was that when their lot was im- proved for the installation of a Drive -in Dairy product store, they were re- quired to improve the property by installing curb, gutter, aprons and pavement of outside lane of Beaumont Avenue from Laraine drive to 14th Street at a cost of $3000 in 1962. Another written protest was read, signed by Mr. Lugo T. Ross, owner of a vacant lot at 1205 Beaumont Avenue. Mr. Ross was protesting the installation of driveways and approaches at this time, since it is not known where the driveways should be located. Mayor Houston asked "Does the protestant, or his representative desire to be heard in support of either of the two protests just read ?" No one asked to be heard. The Clerk advised that she had no other written protests. Mayor Houston announced "The Council will now hear any oral protests or objections concerning the work, extent of assessment district or grades." In_ response: Mr. James P. Thompson, owner of property at 982 and 990 Beaumont Avenue stated he did not feel the 64 foot curb separation was wide enough to justify the terrific expense of installing curbs, gutters and sidewalk for such a narrow street. He felt the pavement should be at least 74 foot wide, since the right of way for Beaumont Avenue is 100 feet wide. To support his protest, he showed slides from a projector, of street improvements made in streets in 29 Palms and other places where streets have been made wider to accomodate parking along the curb and still have plenty of roadway. He also stated he felt the cost of a wider street should be figured and studied cost wise before the project was actually started. Mr. A. E. Koscheski, Superintendent of County Road Department of the Beaumont Area stated that he had not heard that the County Road north of 14th Street is to be 88 feet wide. Mr. Ronald Schulte, representing the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce, stated that the reason the Chamber of Commerce members and others helped with securing signatures for the Beaumont Avenue project was that it was to be constructed just as economically as possible, to provide a new good street, where one is so needed. The matter of making the street with a 72 foot curb separation was discussed and it was determined that the cost would be too great. The present proposal meets all requirements of the State Highway Department and is adequate to get the job done. Mrs. Nora H. Griffis, 1285 Beaumont Avenue stated since Beaumont Avenue is mostly residential, that four lanes is wide enough. Mayor Houston asked if anyone else cared to speak. None offered to discuss the matter further. In response to the protests offered, Mr. Dale King explaned that the property owned by Mr. & Mrs. Carpenter would have the curbs and gutters re- located at no direct cost to the owner. Regards to the written protest of Mr. Lugo T. Ross as to driveways being installed, there are no driveway approaches panned for this property, since none exist at present. Reverend A. K. Moore, Pastor of the Assembly of God Church asked Mr. King about the assessment for the church property, since it has new curb, gutter and sidewalk recently installed as per specifications of the City. Mr. King advised that the property would not be assessed over 200 per front foot for curb and gutter replacement. Mr. King explained that all lands within the assessment district will be benefited by the proposed improvement, and will be assessed in proportion to benefits received. Miss Lauralea Trisler of O'Melveny & Myers, addressed the Council, advising that only about 1.2 %, at least much less than 5% of the property within the proposed district has been protested; tiat she had prepared a Resolution for the Council to adopt, overruling protests; that the Council has three alternatives - To abandon the Project. To change the plans. To proceed with project as is. After a brief discussion the following resolution was read: Mr. Arthur M. Kief, owner of property at the corner of 10th and Beaumont Avenue stated he also felt the street is being planned too narrow. Mr. Lyman Burhop, 1162 Pennsylvania stated he felt the street is V too narrow since the County is plannint to make Beaumont Avenue, north of 14th Street, eighty eight feet wide. Mr. A. E. Koscheski, Superintendent of County Road Department of the Beaumont Area stated that he had not heard that the County Road north of 14th Street is to be 88 feet wide. Mr. Ronald Schulte, representing the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce, stated that the reason the Chamber of Commerce members and others helped with securing signatures for the Beaumont Avenue project was that it was to be constructed just as economically as possible, to provide a new good street, where one is so needed.

The following two written recommendations were read from City Manager McCorison: Beaumont, California May 9, 1966 Honorable Mayor and Councilmen: SUBJECT: Additional Street Lights, Beaumont Avenue. The general improvement of the City of Beaumont would be greatly enhanced and probably accelerated by improvements in Street Lighting. It would be logical to improve the Lighting along Beaumont Avenue concurrently with the Street Improvement Project. The recommendation of the Lighting Engineer of Southern California Edison Company is to install fourteen (14) additional 20,000 lumen mercury vapor street lights between 5th Street and 14th Street. These would all be installed on the east side of Beaumont Avenue. Cost to the City would include: (1) Ah'initial'Capital Outlay of $1,694.00 (14 steel poles at $121.00 each) ; (2) An annual operating cost of $1,234.80, at present rates. The initial outlay can easily be paid out of the existing Street Light Fund. The annual operating cost of the additional 14 lights falls within the ability of the fund to pay with no increase in the present tax rate. It is strongly recommended that the City Council authorize the Capital Outlay needed and direct the City Manager to order the installation of these additional street lights along Beaumont Avenue. Respectfully submitted, L. E. McCorison City Manager. if 105 2. if May 10, 1966 Honorable Mayor and Councilmen C ity of Beaumont SUBJECT: Park Lighting The Stewart Park Playground and Picnic areas are inadequately lighted at present.

City Attorney Berk advised that he had referred the above letter to O'Melveny & Myers. A letter was also read from H. R. Hartwick, City Engineer - regards to his Engineering fees. The letter is as follows: " November 22, 1966 Beaumont City Council Beaumont, Calif. Gentlemen: As we have completed the Beaumont Avenue project, we feel that we must now raise our hourly fees for office and field engineering. The last time that we raised our rates was as per letter to the City Council on August 10, 1962, at which time we raised a 2 -man field party to $17.50 per hour and a 3 -man field party to $25.75 per hour. At this time the operating engineers have negotiated with the California Council of Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors for 4 raises, plus fringe benefits that we did not have to pay in 1962. We have been absorbing these costs for Health and Medical Plans and Appren- ticeship Program and the additional hourly wages paid to the men for the last 4 years, and we feel at this time we must raise our rates. The rates will be as follows: 2 -man field party $22.00 per hour 3 -man field party $30.00 per hour Office work for design and conference time $12.00 per hour Drafting Time 9.00 per hour I should like to point out that the Southern California Chapter of the California Council of Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors in a prevailing fee schedule of August, 1966 has indicated that professional consultation should be charged at $20.00 per hour; supervision, design and conference time at $15.00 per hour; other office work at $13.00 per hour; a 4 -man survey party at $40.00 per hour; a 3 -man survey party at $33.00 per hour; - 2 -man survey party at $27.00 per hour. We feel that the circumstances effecting our work in the City of Beaumont have been of such nature that we can charge a lesser amount per hour because the payment factor is such that we are paid for our work in such manner that there is no doubt as to our payment. This is not true in the case of working for subdividers and this is reflected in the higher rates that are charged on work performed for subdividers. If you have any questions, please contact our office. Very truly yours, HICKS & HARTWICK s/ H. R. Hartwick of Three letters were presented regards to City paying for work done on certain portions of Beaumont Avenue as follows: 1. Letter from El Rancho owner Mr. Henry Slape regards to cost of Curb and gutter replaced as per letter from Mr. L. E. McCorison. 165 2. A letter from Mr. James B.

If the City cares to participate with the County in its contract for polic e cars, the price is $2,062.25, however he felt for an additional $100 the City can request a 383 horse power engine. Since two cars were included in the County call for bids it is possible to take delivery on one car at this time and take delivery on the other car if the City cares to - in the next fiscal year after July lst or if not in a position to take delivery on the second car it is allright to not take the second car. It was agreed that the City can take only one car at this time and the following action was taken: Councilman Muse made a motion, seconded by Councilman Haskell: that the City purchase through the County Purchasing Agent One Police Car, provided the car is over 300 horse power and the cost is not to exceed $2,212.25.

Councilman Haskell asked if more engineering would eleviate this problem. City Engineer said only way it could be done is with a more elaborate drainage structure on 11th and Orange. Bill Elliott asked if considered to be engineered as good as it could be and it it would take care of the water as it is engineered now. Was informed that the water would flow. Mr. Langwell then asked about the rade again. Why ouldn't grade of curb be lowered. Engineer said it would not work, would have to tear out existing drainage structure on 11th Street and construct a more elaborate and expensive structure. Engineer was then asked by couldn't street be raised. Mr. Hartwick said if they raised the street at this point on the east side the west side would have to be raised and this would cause the water during a rain to go over curb and into several homes causing a possible flooding condition.

City Manager Kraus presented Fire Chief Wright who read the following letter from the Volunteer Fire Department. Mayor Edna Karnes Members of the Beaumont City Council We the undersigned, who are Department, after thorough the unanimous agreement for Beaumont. On May 14, 1968, and possible sites for this wise during the interim. June 7, 1968 members of the Beaumont Volunteer Fire review and consideration, have come up with a proposed fire station for the City of you instructed us to review proposed plans most needed station and we have done like- We all agree on the basic plan of the station as presented to your honorable body last month by Mr. Fred Hirsch, which involves some 3,600 square feet of apparatus, office, dormitory, storage and lounge facilities. This plan involves 1,800 square feet of apparatus space including a U rJ drive - through arrangement. Please refer to the plans of Mr. Hirsch for further evaluation. We also gave much consideration to the site for this proposed facility and have selected the following site for the reasons stated: A parcel 100 feet from east to west and 180 feet north to south (18,000 square feet) at the southeast corner of Orange Avenue and Tenth Street. The reasons are as follows: 1. Based upon the recommendation of the Pacific Fire Rating,'.Bureau, it has been determined on previous occasions that the location of a fire station in Beaumont should be within a four block area of Eighth Street and Orange Avenue, in order to provide equal running time to all points within the present city limits. As you may know, the underwriters, when conducting their evaluation will graph out a geographical count of a community and attempt to establish the most equitable traveling time between a proposed site and all points of the City. Thus, in order to conform to the specifications of *_the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau, we all basically agreed that the pro- posed station should be located within the Stewart Park area to assure equal running time to all points of our city. 2. This is one of the only site's in the City of Beaumont where there is not an excessive grade within a short distance that would hamper the initial departure of emergency equipment. It is also most important and apparent of this property that there is no major thoroughfare either adjacent or within one block, where excess traffic could cause a serious delay in the initial departure of this equipment. 3. The location of a fire station at this site would be in con- formance, construction -wise, to the other existing structures in this particular block of park, including cement block, municipal swimming pool, rest rooms and shake roof of the Pavilion. 4. The City's recent acquisition of Lot 14, Block 40, owned by Andy and Irma Russell (9,600 square feet) and the City's present consideration of the purchase of the property owned by Larry D. and Linda J. Briggs, Lot 16, Block 40 (9,600 square feet) which represents a total of 19,200 square feet newly acquired, and 18,000 square feet lost to the Fire Station, or a total of 1,200 square feet of parks gained over -all. 5. It would, or course, be procedure if a fire station were to be located in this area, to have all fire responses east of the park traversed over Eleventh Street rather than Tenth Street, to avoid the municipal swimming pool when in operation. 6. Many cities are now locating fire stations on City -owned park land or adjacent to city owned parks with the nearest such example in Palm Springs where the most recent sub - station completed within the past year was located adjacent to a city park and a school yard. 7. In order to keep the cost down and to insure that this most needed community project be a reality this year, we strongly recommend that land acquisition costs not be considered by the City of Beaumont as part of this project. 8. The location of the facility at this site would have closest pro: ;i!ni.:`y to the and businesses of our volunteers and consequently would minimize the travel time by these men in time of alarm. 9. The construction of this proposed building, which, as stated before, would be in conformance with other present public buildings in this block, would not be a single -use building for the very distant future. If population trends, future growth of the city, and other unanticipated developments should occur during the life- time of this building, whereas it would be more advantageous for the Beaumont Fire Department to relocate in either larger or more centrally located facilities, the construction of this present building would be such as to allow it to be used as a community center in future years with very little conver�ion`�regard, A's , you may know, this can't be said of too many fire stations which are limited by single -use and when they outlive their usefulness as a fire department the become public "white elephants ", It is becoming more and more apparent that buildings today will usually`: outlast their original municipal function and consequently we feel that the location and construction should be in keeping with this long range planning. Thus, Mayor Karnes and members of the Council, we have given much thought and consideration of a proposed fire station, not only as members of the Beaumont Volunteer Fire Department, but as residents and businessmen in this community who feel that the city has an excellent opportunity at this time to provide a most valuable additional service to our fellow citizens, a new fire station, Very truly yours, Beaumont Volunteer Fire Department. After a general discussion regarding site location, drainage and possibility of locating a fire truck on the south side of the railroad tracks should the new station be construction, the following action was taken: Councilman Haskell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Rodeman: That the City Council approve the site of the South /east corner of 10th and Orange Avenue in City Park for the proposed fire station, as recommended by the Board of Fire Underwriters. Ayes: Councilman Haskell, Rodeman, Hightower and Karnes. Noes: Councilman Kief. Absent: None. At this time, on behalf of the City Council, Mayor Karnes extended their thanks to the Volunteers for their time in studying, preparing and sub- mitting this report. City Engineer Hartwick gave a report to the Council on the progress of the Euclid Avenue Project; stating that the plans are complete subject to some revisions of water, and cost estimate completed subject to some revisions �r on water. Mr. Hartwick then proceeded to give a report on the cost estimate. Mr. Oscar Berg, who owns property in this area spoke and said he felt the estimate as presented was too high. Mr. Singleterry another property owner in this area spoke also giving his opinion. City Manager Kraus said they could possibly go to a "short term 1911 Act Project and thus reduce some of the cost. The following action was taken after a general discussion was held in that the rest of the property owners should have a chance to give their opinions. Councilman Haskell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Kief: That a Public Hearing be set for July 23rd, 1968 on the proposed Euclid Avenue 1911 Act Project. Ayes: Councilman Haskell, Rodeman, Kief, Hightower and Karnes. Noes; None. Absent: None. Mrs. Begley was present, representing the Odd Fellows, to inform the Council of a reception to be held for the Grand Master at the Beaumont High School, one day and one night, June 22nd. City Manager Kraus suggested some sort of welcome to the representatives should be drawn up. It was suggested that something like a banner could be put up welcoming them, or welcome signs could be printed on cards and placed on the street barricades along the parade route. Also suggested police could provide an escort from the dinner, which is being held at the 6th Street Cafeteria at 6:00 p.m. to the reception, being held at the High School at 8 :00 p.m. Councilman Haskell suggested we make arrangements with the School to use the Magnolia parking to eliminate confusion with the Cherry Festival.

A letter from the Alphretta Rebekah Lodge No. 334 was read thanking the City for the many courtesies extended on June 22nd for the warm welcome during the reception for the Grand Master of the Odd Fellows: Mayor Karnes announced this was the time set for the Public Hearing regard- ing a proposed fire station site at the southeast corner of 10th and Orange Avenue in park property. City Manager Kraus read a report he had prepared to give the Council and the public the general background, present status and site considerations for a proposed fire station. Fire Chief Wright gave his report as to the number of calls received day and night, during the last ten years; Day calls from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and totaled 478 - Night calls are from 6:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. and totaled 691; Total of all calls received was 1,169. r- p 3 6 Mayor Karnes invited those in the audience who wished to speak regarding the proposed location of a fire station on the southeast corner of 10th & Orange Avenue to do so now. Mr. Cliff Nelson, Real Estate Broker in Beaumont, said there should be more research given as to site, whether we actually need a new station and would like an estimate of what the insurance rates could be. Mrs. Earl Bebee, 1049 Orange Avenue, asked to say a few words in objection to the proposed site, saying we have few enough parks as it is and they should not be used for structures such as a fire station. Mr. T. W. (Bill) Haney, 999 Penn. Avenue, stated he would be in favor of locating a fire station in the parks, because in his experience as a retired fireman he felt we should be governed by what the Board of Fire Underwriters recommends concerning the location of fire stations. He said the first 5 minutes of a fire are the most critical. Rone Schulte, 150 Pearl Street, said he saw no objections to a station being located in city parks. Regarding fire rates, said he has been requesting revisions in rates since 1960, again in 1.965, but was refused because there has been no significant changes. The Fire Underwriters and those who handle setting the rates say it takes too long to get to a fire where the station is presently located. As to the loss of park land, we are actually gaining 1,200 square feet of land. J. E. Clougherty, 122 W. 11th Street, said he objected to locating a fire station there because it would take away from our recreational needs. Mr. Carl Cunningham, 125 Maple Avenue, said he thought the City should give some consideration to the residents on the south side of the tracks by stationing a fire truck there. He said ire would volunteer his services to man it. Mayor Karnes said the City was planning to locate a fire truck on the south side of the tracks as soon as they can find a shed or shelter to house it and some Volunteers to man it. Mr. Fred Hirsch, said it made no difference where the fire station is located but he felt the city needed a new station and wanted to do what he could to help the city get it. He did feel that we should go by the criteria of the Fire Underwriters in locating the new station. Mayor Karnes read a note from Mr. Carl Mellor offering the city his property on the northeast corner of 9th and Michigan Ave. for $9,000.00 on the same terms the building was to be financed. Mr. Savior Barranco, 985 Orange Avenue, said he objected to a fire station in the park and thought 6th and Orange would', be a better location. Mr. Joe Picard, 1157 Palm Avenue, said he was against a fire station in the park because we need more recreational area instead of less by chopping it up for a fire staion. Mr. Fred Furnival, Supe:-intendent of Beaumont School District, said that he and City Manager Kraus had been working on the possiblity of locating the station on school property at the corner of 7th & Magnolia. He said the School District is ready and willing to negotiate with the Council to permit a fire station on this corner, also that the School District is ready and willing to negotiate to expand on that site of 6th St., selling of the 6th St. School to the City of Beaumont. City Manager Kraus at this time asked if there was a real interest for a new fire station, all seemed to agree there was. He went on to explain in full detail the results of the meeting recently with the Board of Fire Underwriters. He further explained that unofficially he had spoken to Mr. Furnival about the school property at 7th & Magnolia for the station and possibly at some future date expanding to the 6th St. site for a Civic Center to house all the governmental offices, Water District offices and School offices. Mr. J. B. Thompson, 1305 Orange Avenue, said that a fire station is needed but that it should not go into the Park as we need additional recreational areas now and he thought the 7th & Magnolia site would be more acceptable to various groups. 3 C" Mayor Karnes asked how many in the audience felt the 7th & Magnolia site would be better. About half responded. Mr. Thompson asked Mr. Furnival the approximate cost to lease said property, Mr. Furnival felt the School would prefer an appraiser to set the cost. He then asked about financing the station, does the city plan to go to a general obligation bond. Mayor Karnes said the City does not intend to go to General Obligation Bond. Mr. Lyman Burhop, 1162 Penn. Avenue, asked who would take the night calls for the Police Department if the fire station is moved. City Manager Kraus said it would not require additional manpower, that a call box could be installed outside the Police Station to transmit the call to the man on duty. Mr. Alex Singer, 1262 Maple Avenue, retired from the Detroit Fire Department, spoke in favor of the fire station at this location. There being no further discussion, Mayor Karnes declared the Hearing closed. The Planning Commission Minutes of June 13 and June 27, 1968 were noted and filed with the following action taken regarding the Planning Commission Resolution concerning a Mobile Homes Park application by Mr. Floyd Venable, minutes of June 27th, Councilman Haskell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Kief: That the proposal to vacate certain streets as stated in the Planning Commission Minutes of June 27th in the Elm St. Tract be differed until the proper application to vacate said streets is made by Floyd Venable.

City Manager Kraus explained that Maple Avenue is an 80' right of way, also that the City Engineer would have to check possible cost of installing a covered pipe for storm drain purposes, should the street be vacated.

Mr. Henry Slape, E1 Rancho Mote, arose and asked about the sealcoating of Beaumont Avenue. He understood when the street was resurfaced that the State was to maintain it. City Manager Kraus said that at a meeting about 4 months ago with the State Division of Highways, it was stated by Mr. Kane that they have no plans to assume Beaumont Avenue into state highway system at this time. Mr. Burhop asked if the street was inspected by the state and whether sealcoating was absolutely necessary at this time. Mr. Kraus stated it had been inspected by the state and it was their recommendation that sealcoating be done within two years after resurfacing. Mayor Karnes announced this was the time set for the Public Hearing on the Euclid Avenue Assessment District; and asked the City Engineer to give a report on the cost estimate for this project: City Engineer Hartwick reported on two alternate proposals for the sealcoating of Beaumont Avenue between 5th and 14th Street from the Riverside County Road Department, as recommended in last spring's budget session. Proposal #1 460 tons - screenings(medium seal coat) $3,910.00 40 tons - asphaltic emulsion (medium 1,600.00 seal coat) contingencies (5 %) 275.00 Total $5,785.50 Proposal #2 880 tons - asphalt concrete(open graded) $7,040.00 16 tons - asphaltic emulsion(plant 1,200.00 binder) contingencies (5 %) 412.00 Total $8,652.00 VIt is the recommendation that the asphalt concrete sealcoat be used at a cost of $8,652.00. Although proposal #1 costs less, the city would have more maintenance by having to sealcoat every year approximately, whereas the second proposal takes much less maintenance and will last longer. City Attorney Berk advised the council this would hvae to be advertised calling for bids. Councilman Kief made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hightower: That the city call for bids for an Asphalt Concrete sealcoat on Beaumont from 5th to 14th Street to be in by August 13, 1968.

Mayor Karnes announced this was the time set for the Public Hearing on the Euclid Avenue Assessment District; and asked the City Engineer to give a report on the cost estimate for this project: City Engineer Hartwick proceeded to give the cost estimate on this project. Mayor Karnes then asked the city engineer to go over why a regular 1911 Improvement Act would not be feasible for Euclid Avenue. City Engineer Hartwick explained that because the improvements would be more than the land value it would be hard to sell the bonds as most buyers won't buy bonds when the improvements are valued more than the land. An alternate method to get this street in could be the short form 1911 Act. By putting in road mix instead of hot mix, and cutting out the curbs (if anyone wanted curbs could deal directly with the contractor) this would cut the cost down considerably. The water main would still have to be installed, even with this, the cost would be less. Mayor Karnes asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak. Oscar Berg, property owner on Euclid, because of the high cost of a regular 1911 Act procedure he would be in favor of the short term 1911 Act, thus cutting down on the cost. Mr. Singleterry, another owner, spoke in favor of the short term procedure because of the high cost of a regular 1911 Act procedure. Other property owners in this project who spoke in favor of a short term 1911 Act as compared to the regular 1911 Act pro- cedures because of the high costs were Mr. James Mozley, Mr. A.B. Crist, Mrs. Faulk, Mrs. Polly Somerville. Mr. Berg also mentioned that he had spoken to Mrs. Schram and others who are not here tonight and said they all seemed to be in favor of the short term 1911 Act as opposed to the regular 1911 Act, having been notified of the cost estimates under the regular 1911 Act procedure. Mayor Karnes asked if anyone else wished to speak on this matter; there being no further discussion the Public Hearing was declared to be closed. Councilman Haskell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Rodeman: That because a majority of the property owners were opposed to the regular 1911 Act procedure because of the high costs, the City Engineer be authorized to proceed with the short term 1911 Act. Ayes: Councilman Haskell, Rodeman, Kief, Hightower and Karnes. Noes: None. Absent: None.

Ayes: Councilman Haskell, Rodeman, Kief, Hightower and Karnes. Noes: None. Absent: None. City Manager Kraus presented a proposal by Andy Russell asking that the park property owned by the city, across from the Colony Kitchen Restaurant be put out for bid at a minimum price of $15,000.00 City Attorney Berk recommended that the city should make a study of what property the city has that could be sold and if there are any, advertise them all in one notice. Mayor Karnes appointed Councilman Kief and Haskell to look into this and report back at the next meeting as to what city property could be sold. City Manager Kraus reported on the underground utility proposal and informed the Council that two steps are necessary to protect the city's annual credit according to Southern Calif. Edison Co.. Steps are as follows: 1. An Underground Utility Advisory Committee and 2. adoption of an enabling Ordinance.

This being the time set for the joint meeting with the Chamber of Commerce and Hotel - Motel- Trailer Park owners, Mayor Karnes asked the City Manager to give a brief explanation of the occupancy tax. At this time, Mayor Karnes asked if anyone in the audience wished to make any comments concerning this matter. Mr. Henry Slape, E1 Rancho Motel, suggested that a committee be appointed to find out what other towns are doing, and come up with advice and recommendations to present to the council and where we could use the money derived from this tax to the best advantage. Also suggested revision of the Freeway entrance signs to Beaumont. ..r Mrs. Hayes also felt we should find out what other towns are doing concerning this matter before we go any further. Mr. Leeders felt we should find out where this money is going that is being collected; what portion for administration and what portion for community promotion such as advertising. Mr. Lust, President of the Chamber of Commerce, felt a committee makes more sense at this time than anything else. Mr. Jim Scoggins, Editor of Record - Gazette, who lives in Beaumont said there should be more advertisement at least 5 miles before you get to Beaumont letting the traveler know what you have, also improve the entrances to the city because it is usually the first impressions that last and may discourage a person from coming in. Marshal Horseman, Beaumont Convalescent Hospital, mentioned ways to obtain free advertising, such Auto Club and other brochures. Mr. Carl Mellor mentioned brochures also to advertise the attractions in or near Beaumont. a■r City Manager Kraus said the main thing is to attract the motorists off the highways so they will stop in Beaumont. It was the concensus of opinion that a committee be appointed, com- prising of hotel - motel, trailer park owners and chamber, and to notify the members of their appointment by mail.

Strudgeon of Engineering Sciences, Inc. to give a report on the feasibility study of a Santee type water reclamation project for Beaumont. Mr. Strudgeon went on to give a summary of the report his firm pre- pared, copies were distributed to the council, and said based on this report a water reclamation project to provide recreational facilities could be feasible, and the following is a summary of the conclusions reached by this investigation: 1) Sufficient waste flow is available from the City of Beaumont for a water reclamation project. 2) The eastern end of San Timoteo Canyon, below the confluence of Noble Creek and Little San Gorgonio Creek, appears to lend itself to development of lakes and a soil filtering system; however, final determination would depend upon subsurface investigations. 3) A water reclamation project to produce water for recreational lakes is technically feasible for the City of Beaumont..Although activated sludge treatment is the commonly used process.for reclaim- ing lake -use waters, it is felt that trickling filters could be incorporated into a process which would also produce satisfactory results. 4) As this project involves reclamation of waste water for recreational use, there are several governmental assistance pro- grams available to Beaumont which should be considered for financ- ing projects of this nature. It is further felt that, as the trickling filter process is a new approach to producing lake -use waters, an FWPCA Demonstration Grant would provide the-most desirable means of financing this project. Mayor Karnes asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak concerning this matter. Mr. Thompson, Chairman of the Planning Commission, spoke and said he thought the Soil Conservation office could possible get the necessary maps for further study at no cost to the city; and that possible the council could authorize the City Manager to contact Verdo Hampton of that office. Mr. Jay Conley, Beaumont representative on the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency board of directors, suggested the City contact Mr. Jerry Dibble in Redlands, manager- secretary of the Pass Agency for possible inform- tion contained in a report they are in the process of approving regard- ing a 2 year Geological survey of the Pass area. At this time, Mayor Karnes extended the thanks of the Council to Mr. Strudgeon of Engineering Sciences for their report. Councilman Haskell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Kief: That the City Manager be authorized to contact Mr. Verdo Hampton of Soil Conservation office and Mr. Dibble, Pass Water Agency to get the necessary information regarding maps.

We are grate- ful for all of the things that you have done to help us make this wonderful program a great success. It is gratifying to know that all of you have and take a keen interest in this worth while activity for the boys of this community. We hope that more and better things can be done in the future to make it even better. We are grateful to the Police Department for being on hand to help us out when ever needed. Their service to the community is most certainly appreciated by all of us. I know that a site for these boys to play baseball is now hanging in the balance. The School site in the past has been used for this purpose but, with all the talk about selling this property this may be short lived. I hope that maybe some organization or interested individual might come to the rescue and help us solve this problem. Any suggestions any of you might have will be welcomed and appreciated. Once again, my most cordial thanks and appreciation for services rendered toward the support and help in making it possible for all these boys to participate in Little League baseball.

Prior to opening the public hearing regarding the Oil Refinery, Councilman Rodeman read the following statement he had prepared: "I, as Councilman of the City of Beaumont, am just as concerned about the possibility of Air pollution in the San Gorgonio Pass as are the earnest officials of the City of Palm Springs, or for that matter, any public official or private citizen through- out our Riverside County! This City Council, in weighing the pending proposal of the Beaumont Refining Company has, and are still giving the utmost consideration of air and water pollution as top priority, and consequently we feel that Palm Springs' Mayor Howard Wiefels and his unofficial committee did not act as a "good neighbor" in working with the City of Beaumont in arriving at the best possible solution on this application. We recall last year that when the City of Palm Springs was - seeking legislative assistance from its' neighboring cities, including this City, on the application before the Federal or Aviation Administration for the American Airlines route to Palm Springs, the Beaumont City Council was the first council to immediately pass a resolution in support of the city of Palm Springs. This Council performed this action both as a measure of support for a neighboring city and as an effort to promote increased effectiveness in our transportation system. This proposed application of the Beaumont Refining Company is of such tremendous impact to this community that the people of the entire area can rest assured that extensive and detailed consideration will be given this matter by this Council. Our Planning Commission has spent over 7 hours in meetings, and our staff, countless more hours, in arriving at the approval by that Commission last Thursday evening. The Commission, at its public hearing on December 5th, called upon the expert advice of our County's top air and water pollution authorities, as well as state and petroleum industry pollution experts to determine the possibility of any pollution whatsoever! I had only wished that Mayor Wiefels or members of his committee might have taken the time and effort to have attended that December 5th hearing and .■r listen to the testimony offered! Thus, the invitation still stands by this City Council, that any public official or private citizen in the City of Beaumont, the San Gorgonio Pass, the Palm Springs -Indio area or the entire Riverside County for that matter offer their concerns, consideration, comments or thoughts on this application which are indeed most welcome by this Council, and that the by -pass- ing by Mayor Wiefels and his committee of our legal process, the public hearing, and the admission of evidence therefore, is indeed quite unfair to both this Council and the people of this community, and not conductive to the best relations between our o two cities in the future." Mayor Haskell announced this was the time set for the public hearing upon an application for an Unclassified Use Permit by the Beaumont Refinery to construct and operate an oil refinery in an M Zone. Mayor Haskell asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of the refinery, there being none, he then asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in opposition to this application. There being none, the following motion was made: No Councilman Rodeman made a motion, seconded by Councilman Kief: That the public hearing on the application of an Uncalssified Use Permit by the Beaumont Refinery be closed. Ayes: Councilman Rodeman, Mason, Kief, Hightower and Haskell. Noes: None. Absent: None. Mayor Haskell then asked whether the Council wished to make their decision now, or within the 20 days allowed for under Ordinance No. 282. It was felt by all that enough discussion has been held 437 and there would be no reason to withhold a decision at this time. Councilman Rodeman made a motion, seconded by Councilman Mason: That the report of decision of the Beaumont Planning Commission be adopted as the Council's report also and that the application for an Unclassified Use Permit by the Beaumont Refinery be approved. Ayes: Councilman Rodeman, Mason, Kief, Hightower and Haskell. Noes: None. Absent: None.
