COMMUNICATIONS: A. WOMAN 'S CLUB OF TEMPLE CITY RE: OFFICIAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY Shirley Norman, 8874 Emperor Avenue', San Gabriel 91775L author of the letter, advised that the Woman's Club recog- nized the need for an official historical society in Temple City when it came to their attention that Marie Klein and Cheryl Cates. had great difficulty gathering historical.in- fo.rmation for their video presentation on the. history of Temple City in behalf of the Temple City Unified School District. It is proposed that the society would be indepen- dent of, but sanctioned by,the City. Mrs. Norman also men- tioned that recently Ch.a.rles.Vernon., whose family established Vernon's. Pharmacy in. Temple City, told her that he has several boxes of pictures taken. during the early days in the City and would be willing to donate them if he was assured that they would be put to good use, Councilman Swain inquired if the Woman's Club would be willing to take on the formation and organization of the society. 242 Council Minutes, July 1, 1986 - Page 4 Mrs. Norman responded that she is unable to speak in behalf of the Woman's Club members, but that she would present the idea at the Board Meeting and be back to the City Manager with the Board's response. Mayor Atkins advised Mrs. Norman that the City is very supportive of the idea of having a historical society in Temple City and suggested that Julie Estrada of the Temple City Times might be of great assistance in the gathering of information and also publicizing the plans for the formation of such an organization. City Manager Koski requested that anyone in the City who has artifacts of the history of Temple City could assign them to the City Clerk for safekeeping. The City Clerk's Office is presently in possession of many historical documents and memorabilia, which could be loaned to a historical society or museum when one is formed. 9. TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK: Jim Davids, 5746 Kauffman Avenue, proposed that, in order to keep harmony in a neighborhood, the City Council might consider assigning either to the Planning Commission or to a special committee the task of determining the method of handling a person or persons who continually call in with complaints. He also suggested that the City should consider whether it is the "intent of the law" or the "letter of the law" which must be enforced when looking at a particular City Ordinance. If it is the letter of the law, there are very few people, if any, who could ever completely comply. Mr. Davids stated that there is presently a matter before the Planning Commission which con- cerns an Ordinance violation by a resident brought to the City's attention by a resident, and this is the reason Mr. Davids has brought these suggestions to the Council's attention. Councilman Gillanders advised that, when allegations are made against an individual, the City staff does investigate the matter thoroughly before making a determination and recommen- dation to the Planning Commission. Mayor Atkins advised Mr. Davids that, since the matter is still before the Planning Commission, it would not be prudent of the City Council to make comment on the matter. Charlene Fisher, 5722 Kauffman Avenue, stated that she moved to Temple City three years ago., obeys City laws and expects her neighbors to do the same. Two years ago she apparently com- plained twice to City staff about two neighborhood properties which were in violation of City code. Until photos were shown to a member of the City Council, the violations were allowed to continue. Her intent is to have her neighbors abide by City laws and not detract from the neighborhood with property nuisances. Mayor Atkins. also advised Mrs. Fisher that, since she was mak- ing reference to a situation which is presently before the Planning Commission, it would not be appropriate for Council to hear testimony on the matter at this time. RECESS TO CRA: At this time Council recessed to meet as the Temple City Com- munity Redevelopment Agency; approved the Minutes of the July 1, 1986 meeting; approved letter agreement for auditing services from McGladrey HIendrickson & Pullen; approved appraisal services by Robert F.
