March 16, 1970
TO:Wesley C. McDaniel, City Manager
FROM: William H. Berlin,'Jr., Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Taco Bill's Supplementary Activity Report
Sir:
Since the March 3 council meeting; Officer Finley reports
the Taco Bill's problem has lessened. He indicates William
Grill is enforcing the "no loitering" signs posted, and
requiring patrons to leave when theyhave completed their
meals. He and his wife, Irene, are at the premises a great
part of the time making an obvious attempt to alleviate the
„ problem'. However, when they are not at. the business, other
employes do not make an attempt to impose restrictions on
patronage.
As you are aware, a special patrol was started February 3.
In review of any activity reports from that date' to March'
15, we find a definite cutoff point in activity after the-
March 3 council meeting. Prior to that time, a majority of
arrests and contacts. of undesirables were directly related
to Taco Bill's. As'indicated in our earlier activity report,
most of those contacted in the general -area had eitherbeen
in Taco Bill's or were going there when stopped by the officer.
Most of those contacted, readily admitted they had gone there
for one of two reasons; either to purchase a meal for 50 cents,
or "meet a friend" which, in many cases, meant they were there,
to purchase contraband.
The officer's arrest and contact statistics for the period of
time do indicate that a vast number of individuals came to the
location for reasons other than dining. For instance, prior
to -March 3, there were '19 arrests made on the premises by
Officer Finley. Of those, 16 were charged -with narcotics
violations including; 1. Under the influence; 2. Possession of
contraband; 3. Addicted to the use of and under - and injection.
marks
In addition to these arrests, 12 persons arretted in the one-
month period; were connected with Taco Bill's by either having
come from the location,or indicating to the officer that they
were going to the location when arrested. Although it is not
possible for the officer to directly relate 15 other arrests
to Mr. Grill's establishment, those persons were arretted in
the immediate area.
In addition to the above statistic data, we feel that it is
important to call to your attention information we have received
relative to one of Mr. Grill's employes. A subject` identified
as Shirley Cassidy reportedly sought medical attention for a

Re: Taco Bill's Supplementary Activity Report
condition which was later diagnosed as hepatitis. Officers on
.the department that know.this girl are of the opinion she is,
not a user of drugs by injection and therefore apparently contracted
this disease in some other manner. The girl told Officer Finley
that her doctor was of the -opinion she had contracted the hepatitis
at.her place of employment, "Taco Bill's".
In the past, as our records will indicate, employes of Mr.'Grill
-have been known users of narcotics and dangerous -drugs by injection,
and have raised concern of a ,"general public welfare" nature.
One of the employes, Najwa Habash, who is no longer employed
by Mr. Grill, is a heavy userof narcotics by injection.: From
County and State medical records, it is obvious that persons
injecting habituating drugs are presently the most dangerous
means of spreading hepatitis and other infectious diseases.-
It is our opinion that Mr. Grill has been grossly negligent
in his responsibility as the owner of an eating establishment,.
by employing persons of this type to serve food. -A person.
unfamiliar with the area and the type of clientele frequenting
:the establishment, is unnecessarily perilled in this type situation.
`On Sunday, March 15, Officer Finley contacted a young female who
had just left. the location. As a trained observer, he noted the
contiva of her eyes to be extremely yellow. Her flesh tone
was also:yellow. He at once realized this female had possibly
contracted hepatitis. To avoid a health hazard to,other officers
and city personnel, the girl was directed to seek medical attention.
Our officers can recall numerous individual cases, during the.,'
past year in particular, in which police problems were directly
related to Taco Bill's. Although his current endeavors, after
councilmanic inquiry, are commendable, the fact remains that
his business has become known, throughout disreputable circles,
as "their" place to meet and eat.. If the establishment is`
allowed to continue to operate, our department could have but.
one possible recommendation: Continue and intensify police'
patrol.
In Officer Finley's latest activity report, he eites.:.the removal
of the benches at the East side of the Pier as a major factor
in removing many loitering problems in the area. Many individuals
.still sit on the walls while waiting for friends in Taco Bill's.
- We would,therefore,also recommend further implementation of our
recommendation, specifically -decorative fencing,'which would
prevent the walls from being used as seats.

Re: Taco Bill's - Supplementary Agtivity Report.
Page.
We would further recommend that if Mr. Grill is allowed to
continue his present operation, that other exits from the
building be provided. He is presently using the single
Pier Avenue door as the only entrance/exit.• This creates
a blockage of the sidewalk when there is a service waiting
line. There are two additional north doors and one west door,
which are constantly locked.
With the police.department's busiest season rapidly approaching,
we are desirous of alleviating a problem location before it`
progresses even more than has been evident over this past year.
1 shall keep you advised as required.

I must say that W 8 some brilliant thinking wh, n
you consider ,4 closing Tao Bill's establi: meat
because of th ;; fact that offenders aero not<+�
customers of that business,
I think you should be grateful to that restaurant
because it iu acting as a control point where your

If you think the eli:.:/nation of th 4t business
/will reduce your ori��: probl >>�:;., you ar s -ous1y

The fact that offenAers are found using the
facilities of an establishment does not warrant
its closure. If that be the oaa®e, th I `►.eggst
you a1 k all mefchantea hotel owners, the Poet
Office and the City of Hermosa Beach to move
also, for they are attributing to th deliquency
of the youth in this town.
I suggest that you take a closer look at the
crime problem and take aadvantag%. that Taco Bili
puts up with the fact that he must serve such
cliental,
Have you .considered that he should be ppearing
before you gentlemen to ask that the town cis so ething
about the el e,.; ant that hangs around his rest e Brant
rather than having to answer to you who are
responsible for allowing th the fro e m t w:y h v

economy of the South Bay rea and many thousands of residents will
depend upon the decision.of the Departments of Defense and Air Force.
which is to he made in May.
A copy of this Resolution is also being mailed to the South
Bay Councilmen's Association tor preuentation at their next meeting
on March 26; however, because of the urgency of this matter, .1 am
also sending individual letters to the cities belonging to the Association,

Honorable Mayor and City Council
The City of Hermosa Beach
1315 Valley Drive
Hermosa Beach, California 90254
Attention: Mrs. Mary A. Edgerton, City Clerk
Gentlemen:
The Board of Directors of West Basin Municipal Water District
has instructed me to write to all cities in the District
regarding the absolute necessity of securing authorization for
the Peripheral Canal Project and to urge that resolutions and
letters supporting the Project be sent to Governor Reagan.
The Canal is needed to divert fresh water from the Sacramento
River around the Delta to pumping plants of the State Water
Project and the Federal Central V:,:11 y Project near Tracy, thus
avoiding contamination by intruding salt water from San
Francisco Bay. Fresh water from the Canal will be relea:1-ed to
natural channels in the Delta to repel salt water and protect
fish, wild life and agricultural resources of the area.
For your information and convenience we are enclosing a detailed
statement of the Peripheral Canal plan and sample letters sup-
porting the Project.
In view of the wide public attention given' to the irresponsible
Wand often misleading statements of opponents, it is imper tine
that evidence of overwhelming .support for this essential "key
feature" of the State Water Project is made known to the Governor.
We hope your Honorable Council will trkr• favorable action at an
early date.
Very truly yours
Carl Fossette
General Manager

LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWH..
P. 0. Box 111, Los Angeles, California 90054
February 11, 1970
Honorable Ronald Reagan
Governor of California
State Building
Sacramento, California 95618
Dear Governor Reagan:
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is very concerned with Congressman
Jerome Waldie's campaign to delay authorization of the Peripheral Canal Project.
Prompt construction of this project is essential in.. order to insure the quality of
water, both for export and for the Delta, and would provide, through coordination of
construction with the new Interstate Highway No. 5 (Westside Freeway), maximum economy
of project construction. A review of the very extensive investigations of the Peripheral
Canal and its alternatives by the interagency Delta Committee indicates complete con-
currence by the many Federal and State agencies involved. The reports of the State
Assembly and Senate Water Committees confirm this agreement.
We understand the concern of the people of some areas of the Delta over the necessity
•
of providing adequate protection for the future of their water supplies; however, the fact
that both the Federal and State agencies have recommended definite actions to satisfac-
torily resolve these problems should assure them that their rights will be considered in
the design and operations of this project.
•
Prompttaction in the authorization of the State -Federal Peripheral Canal and
coordination with the Division of Highways will provide benefits and economies to both
- ' agencies relative to the extensive earthmoving operations required for the construction
of the Canal and the new Highway.
It appears that Mr, Waldie and the opponents of this project are grossly misinformed.
with respect to the alternatives available for the transwer of the water across the Sacra-
mento -San Joaquin Delta. Actually, the Peripheral Canal appears to provide the only solu-
tion to the many problems involved, that is:
- .1) Transfer of export water.
• Control of water quality standards in the Delta.
3) Protection of eggs of the striped bass, which will otherwise be drawn into
the pumps by induced flows.
is) Protection of the anadromous fish in their spawning season by eliminating
reverse flows in some of the tributary rivers'.
5) ,Protection of the resident fish and their plankton food which will otherwise
be carried into the pumps by induced flows.
• The Peripheral Canal Project has the support of all technically informed groups and
is opposed only by misinformed individuals. Every possible effort to properly inform the
opposition should be made.
We feel that the authorization and construction of the Peripheral Canal should not
be delayed, but rather should be expedited'in'order to assure achievement of the many
resulting benefits at an early date, and:also to assure maximum economy by the coor-
dination of its construction with the new State Highway.
Sincerely,
WRM/PRH:jb

TO: (Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Wesley C. McDaniel° City Manager
SUBJECT: Santa Fe Landscape Agreement
Gentlemen: •
The long delay in proceeding with landscaping on the railroad
area south of P.ter Avenue has been occasioned by Santa Fe°s
caution in granting approval for the Irrigation contractor. to
perform his work, under a contract which we approved last
October. This caution arises, evidently, from an incident in
Texas some months ago when. a similar landscape 1r.,ase was
involved to a damage claim against the railroad.
Hence, we have had to satisfy them of our insurance coverage,
hold harmless provisions, and willingness to assuine our expos-
ure burden. We're getting close arnd, with luck, should soon
secure the approva;,
In the process ° we have updated the mop covering the lease
area, which results to the need to update theagreement. A
copy is attached; we can display the map if requested....
Approval, with authorization for the Mayor to sign, is recommended.
Rr_spectfully submitted,

Enclosure
March 16, 1970
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Wesley C. McDaniel, City Manager
SUBJECT: Refuse Contract Status
Gentlemen:
The proposals for various changes in refuse laws, regulations and pro-
cedures are in a final state of formulation, which will include the listing
of a series of policy decisions which should be made prior to seeking pro-
posals for the new contract which will begin on August 1. It is our present
conclusion that our best course of action will be to seek bed's or proposals
from a variety of Interested firms, which can also include the present con-
tractor, and at the sam time to evaluate the cost of. a continued contract
service against the feasibility of providing it as a municipal departmental
function.
We are hopeful of having additional information on this subject at the meet-
ing tomorrow night.
The only formal action required at this time is one which must be taken by
the end of this month, and this is the final regular meeting of the month.
Our existing contract provides that before 120 days of the termination of
the contract the city will ::ot.UUy'she contractor of its Willingness to enter
into negotiations for an extension of the contract. It is our recommendation
that the City Council direct the City Manager to inform Coast Disposal Com-
pany of. the procedure outlined above, with such notification to serve as the
statement called for in the contract.

On January 7, 1969 a business permit was issued to the "Actors,' Repertory
Theat37e" for live stage performances a represented, occupying all of the
upstairs pertion of the building. A copy of may staff repot atlhat time is
attached (note the raference to "Shakespeare or Ibsen rreoductions"). This
permit. was later extended for another year on July 16 1969.

SUBJECT: Burbage Theater
Gentlemen:
A recent, recul-Ting question concerns the use of floor
space within the Burbage Th. eater for other uses, such
as non-profet legal counseling. Obtaining accurate inform-
att. n in actual activities has been difficult.
To the best of our knowledge, the only extra use has been
the lending of one room on a few Saturday mornings, not
recently, for legal counseling by volunteer lawyers.
In order to resolve the question, I have written the attached
letter—which should be self-explanatory—to Terry Collier.
These points have been agreed upon by affected city staff members,
including the City Attorney.
Unless there is objection, we will operate as noted in the
letter.
Respectfully submitted,

FROM: Wesley C. McDante': City Manager
SUBJECT: Crossing Guards -Possible Funding
Gentlemen:
We had been asked by Councilman Valdes to investigate the possibility
of obtaining federal or Statesupplemental funding for Crossing Guards
and related school safety activities. After reviewing.`a number of cata-
logues and publications on the wide variety of programs available, we
unfortunately are forc:-d to conclude that there are no programs which
provide for the fund ng of on-going operational expenses in paying
Crossing Guards.
There are several programs which will assist in funding studies related
to traffic safety, including pedestrian crossings, and others which then
would pay for a portion of the conn uction or installation cost of design
features to improve safety. An example of the former is the "Pedestrian
Safety"project under the "Highway Safety Act of 19660 which provides
a 50% matching grant to study and improve th planning for pedestrian
safety devices.
However° the so-called TOPICS program is an all-encompassing new :.
federal proposal under the Highway Act of 1968 which includes funding
for studying means of increasing highway capacity and safety, and then
allocates funds to cities on a non-matching basis to construct the improve-
ments for programs which are needed. AU of the local cities: including
ourselves a are intensively involved in determining the best way to com-
plete the necessary prerequisite study a and we propose se to have additional
information for the City Council on this program in the near future.. It
would be our recommendation that the question of school children pedes-
trian safety be included in the TOPICS evaluation, or as a supplemental
report: at that time.

The issue is whether or not a General Law City can enact as part of its Zoning
Ordinance a provision that in order to overrule the Planning. Commission on a zone change
the legislative body needs a 4/5 vote.
(2)
Applicable sections of the Government Code:
(a) Section 65800 states that the purpose of the zoning regulations is to enact a
minimum of limitation on cities so that the cities may exercise a maximum degree of
control over local zoning matters.
(b) Section 65802 states that the extensive procedure by which the legislative body
enacts, amends or administers the zoning law is set forth in Section 65800 through
Section 65907, inclusive, and that no other ordinance or law can amend these zoning
regulations.
(c) Section 65857 states that the legislative body may approve, modify or disapprove
the recommendation of the Planning Commission pursuant to a zone change request,
provided that the modification or amendment is referred back to the Planning Commission
for report and recommendation.
LI) There is a presumption of validity of a zoning ordinance enacted by the City.
Conclusion: Since there are no reported cases precisely on point, and since the
zoning ordinance clearly states that the zoning regulations are the minimum that the City
may enact, then it would appear to be proper for the City to be more restrictive if it
desires) to approve, modify or disapprove the recommendation of the Planning Commission
concerning a zone change. Therefore, it is my opinion that the City Council may,
if it desires, amend the so-called "4/5 rule", which would clearly be within the power
of Section 65857, or maintain the "4/5 rule" for the reasons set out above.
TO: J. B. Miras.sou, City Attorney
FROM: Wesley C. McDaniel, City Manager
SUBJECT: 4/5 Vote Review. 3/,7 � «
For what it's worth, here are my thoughts on this .question:
March 5, 1970
1.. Theory: The principle of requiring an extraordinary majority on matters
of special, long-lasting "import is well grounded in practice, including the
practice of requiring such vote to overturn the, action of a subordinate, equal,
or separate body (i, e. --overriding a veto).. In this case, a zoning action
being considered one of lasting and important effect, the city earlier saw
fit to place a particular weight to Planning Commission opinion, probably
deliberately to stretch the decision process and make it more difficult to
change an existing status. I personally agree with this technique, in spite
of its apparent clumsiness, and particularly in view of the sharp opinion
differences -and capricious sweeps of legislation which have been character-
istic in Hermosa Beach for many years.
2 Legislative Enactment. Although it is confusing at times, and the mistake
by the layman can be understood, it is obvious that only a majority vote can
ever enact a -law. A law (ordinance) may not be enacted by default or by the
failure of an alternate motion to deny or change the proposed law. Only an
affirmative majority vote on an affirmative adoption motion can enact the
ordinance. ; At worsttherefore, if a majority does not wish to concur with
the Planning Commission, and yet four votes cannot be found to override it,
the status quo prevails and no change is made. The failureof a motion to
override, falling short of four votes, . does not mean thatthe recommended
change passes: The same reasoning applies to nonordinance actions, such
as variance and Conditional Use Permit appeals.
3. Apparent Inconsistency. At first blush, it would seem an absurd inconsis-
tency that the Planning Commission recommendation may only be altered by
a 4/5 Council vote when it only requires three votes to appoint or remove
Commission members' or, in fact, to amend the Ordinance creating the 4/5
requirOmentc. However, governmental and administrative practice is replete
with similar examples ....where the public, through their representatives,
have knowingly established an extra hindrance to precipitant action on impor-
tant issues,>andthe final legislative body has willingly acceeded to this
restriction on their discretion, believing the purpose to be valid. The require-
ment may=be changed by amending the ordinance, or Commissioners replaced,
butte protection against that action is that the amending ordinance is subjected
to public light and deliberative process, so that the impact of the -change is
specifically exposed to open examination. (I would suggest that such an
amendment could ;not._ properly, be made by emergency ordinance.)
Page 2
4. Conclusion. My non -lawyers conclusion is that it's a policy question;
if the legislative body wants to continue the 4/5 limitation upon themselves,
they may.. .or, if they wish to remove it, they may. But it is not susceptible
to a ,simple legal ruling of voidance

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
ACTION - to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of February 17, 1970.
Motion by Councilman Valentine - Second by Councilman Valdes.
So ordered.
PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE -. SOUTH SIDE OF 24TH STREET AND NORTH SIDE OF 21ST
STREET - Recommended by Planning Commission Resolution P.C. 154-755 - Ordinance
No. N. S. 371, introduced November 4, 1969 - Returned to Planning Commission
December 2, 1969 - Final recommendation from Planning Commission.
DISCUSSION - The Council was informed that it was the belief of the Planning Commission
that this area would be developed with varying intensities of use related to the proximity
of arterial streets and commercial uses and that the matter would be further pursued as
part of the review of the General Plan, and that therefore if the City Council so desired
this proposed zone change could be set aside. for the time being. During the discussion,
Councilman Wise questioned the validity of the voting procedure called for in Section
1512 of the Zoning Ordinance, and requested an opinion from the City Attorney at the
next meeting of the Council.
ACTION - to table this item to the next regular meeting, on. March 17, 1970, for the
opinion of the City Attorney as to the validity of Section 1512(2) requiring the affirmative
vote of four fifths of all members of the City Council to reject or modify the final
recommendations of the City Planning Commission involving the reclassification of any
property, as opposed to a 3/5 vote to approve.
Motion by Councilman Valdes - Second by Councilman Wise.
Carried
Ayes: Councilmen Belasco, Valdes, Valentine, Wise.
Noes: None
Absent: None
Abstain: Mayor Thelen. (Owner of property located in area under consideration)
PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE - EAST SIDE OF HERMOSA AVENUE, BETWEEN 14TH STREET AND
16TH STREET - Proposed ordinance subject to Precise Plan #22 recommended by Planning
Commission Resolution P.C. 154-760 - Returned to Planning Commission for modification,
January 20, 1970 - Final recommendation from Planning Commission.
DISCUSSION - At the request of the Council, the City Attorney replied to questions
regarding the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the zone classification of
the subject property be changed to R-3 Multiple Family Residential, subject to the
provisions of Precise Plan #22 with item 4 regarding roof design and prohibiting visible
antennas on roofs, and item 5, requiring Mediterranean atmosphere and "warm" rather
than "cool" colors for exterior color of buildings, omitted as requested by the Council.
Councilman Wise expressed his opinion that setting restrictions on properties would be
unconstitutional, as the majority of the property owners on this block had declared
themselves against any precise plan in advance of development. Councilman Valdes felt
that if the modified precise plan, calling for widening Palm Drive five feet, reducing the
front yard set -back to three feet, and prohibiting the backing of vehicles onto Hermosa
Avenue, were made voluntary rather than mandatory, this might encourage property owners
to consider the best possible development for their property.

154, recommended by Planning Commission Resolution P.C. 154-758 - Proposed
Ordinance No. N. S. 377 Returned to Planning Commission for further review, with
recommendation from Board of Appeals - Final recommendation of Planning Commission.
DISCUSSION - Councilman Wise stated that in his opinion square footage does not dictate
the quality or architecture of any development, and that regulations increasing the
minimum standards for dwelling units were unnecessary. Mayor Thelen expressed his
belief that this step was a bit premature, as it was necessary to renovate and upgrade
portions of the community first..
Mr. John B. Schmolle, 931 Montgomery Drive, came forward to be heard, and stated that
a a builder by profession he found that developers were now living with an economy that
changes day by day and that has to be used as a yardstick. He suggested that the
Planning Commission study conditions in other areas of the United States for guidelines,
adding that cities benefitted when developers upgraded property as much as the builders
and developers themselves. Councilman Valdes pointed out that the Planning Commission
had spent many months studying and reviewing this proposed ordinance, and that the
Council should consider the intents and purposes of placing a platform under current
development practices. At the request of Mayor Thelen, the City Clerk then read aloud
the title of the proposed ordinance, introduced January 6, 1970.

Avenue at the edge of Clark Stadium.
POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY REPORT - 4 PIER AVENUE - Requested by Councilman
Valentine.
DISCUSSION -• Councilman Valentine, for the information of those present, quoted a portion
of the statistical data included in the activity report requested by him during the City
Council meeting of February 17, 1970, stating that twenty-six arrests made in the area
of 4 Pier Avenue during the first three weeks of February included 26 for drugs and
narcotics, nine for felony possession of narcotics, and eleven truant juvenile. He
pointed out that Taco Bell around the corner on the Strand had had similar problems, and
that neighboring communities also faced this problem around the beach area where groups
of people congregated, and stated that he felt that the Council should take some specific
action to institute the most immediate action possible toward controlling this increasing
problem.
Mr. William Grill, proprietor of Taco Bill's Family Restaurant, 4 Pier Avenue, was present
in the audience, and informed the Council that he had not been aware of such activities
in and around his place of business, and that as a businessmen he was certainly doing all
that he could to protect his property and his customers.
-4- Minutes 3/3/70
Police Department Activity Report - Area of 4 Pier Avenue (Continued)
Councilmen Belasco and Wise pointed out that the entire area around the entrance to the
Pier and on Pier Avenue between Hermosa Avenue and the Strand shared these problems,
and mentioned the number of bars concentrated in that area, and Councilman Valdes
agreed that he did not feel that all of these arrests could have originated in or because of
one establishment. Councilman Valentine stated that action to alleviate these conditions
would have to begin someplace with something specific, and requested that Mr. Grill be
subpoenaed to appear before the Council, in order that he would have time to study the
Police Department report and prepare a statement regarding this matter.
ACTION - to instruct the City Attorney to issue a subpoena to Mr. William Grill, and to
set the date for this hearing as the next regular meeting of the City Council, to be held on
Tuesday, March 17, 1970, in the Council Chamber, at 7:30 p.m.
Motion by Councilman Valentine - Second by Mayor Thelen.
Carried.
Ayes: Councilmen Valdes, Valentine, Mayor Thelen.
Noes: Councilmen Belasco, Wise.
Absent: None
Note: Councilmen Belasco and Wise stated that they had voted "No" because this
subpoena was not being issued to all of the businessmen in the subject area.
FURTHER DISCUSSION - Councilman Belasco moved that the Council subpoena all
businessmen in the area of the pierhead and north and south of Beach Drive on Pier
Avenue. This motion was seconded by Councilman Wise, who after further discussion
withdrew his second with a request that the names of the establishments involved be
included in the motion. The problems caused by liquor establishments and take-out food
businesses were then discussed, and the motion made by Councilman Belasco to subpoena
the proprietors of the Seaside House, Hermosa Inn, Pio's, and Pier 52, and the second
by Councilman Wise was withdrawn after hearing the suggestion of Councilman Valdes that
the Council might require activity reports regarding all of these locations before an
objective comparison could be made.
FURTHER ACTION - that the City staff contact businessmen in the subject area with take-
out food and liquor establishments to see if the City can arrange for them to work together
to correct problems on lower Pier Avenue, and hold any further action until a more specific
report on activities in this area is received from the Police Department.

REQUEST FOR PERMIT - FUND RAISING DANCE RALLY FOR COUNCILMEN CANDIDATES -
Hermosa Beach Concerned Citizens for a Better City Government, Paul Froug, Chairman.
DISCUSSION - City Manager McDaniel stated for the benefit of those present that this
request was for permission to hold a fund-raising rally and dance with live entertainment
and with beer and food served for a donation of $2.50, with funds to be given to
Councilmanic candidates not yet chosen, to use as campaign funds. The location of this
event would be 1332 Strand, and the Hermosa Beach Concerned Citizens for a Better City
Government, a non-profit organization, would provide law enforcement through volunteers
from the Los Angeles Police Department, and requested a waiver of fee and approval of
a one -day permit for Saturday, March 14, from 6 to 12 p.m.
Mr. John B. Schmolle, 931 Montgomery Drive , came forward to oppose the issuance of
this permit, and Mr. Dick Willis, 2108 Strand, also spoke in opposition.

Request for Permit - Candidates Fund Raising Rally (Continued)
Mrs. Pat Bliss, 1015 Prospect Avenue, speaking in behalf of the organization making this
request, stated in answer to a question from the Council, that when the names of the
candidates to benefit financially from this event had been decided upon, this information
would be made public immediately.
Councilmen Valdes stated that another location than the one recently denied a conditional
use permit requested for a beer bar would have been a better choice under those conditions,
and Mayor Thelen said that he did not approve of the proposed location or the waiver of
fee. Councilman Belasco expressed his thought that political activity should be
encouraged, as this City had never had even a fifty per cent turn -out at the polls for a
municipal election, and Councilman Valdes stated that from a personal standpoint he did
not feel eligible to vote on this matter due to the fact that he was a candidate for City
Council, as was Councilman Wise.
ACTION - to approve a permit for a fund raising rally dance to be presented by the
Hermosa Beach Concerned Citizens for a Better City Government on Saturday, March 14,
1970, at 1332 Strand.

Pennington, 326 - 29th Street.
DISCUSSION - Mr. Pennington was present to present his application to keep approximately
eighteen racing pigeons in a loft constructed by himself on his property, and informed the
Council regarding his plans for their care and maintenance, adding that only one neighbor
had voiced any complaint to him or to the City. He requested that the Council postpone
their decision on this matter so that he could petition his neighbors for their opinion, and
invite the Councilmen to inspect the loft he had constructed to house these birds.
Mrs. Marianna Buffett, 321 - 28th Street, was present as complainant , and stated that
she felt that the noise made by these pigeons and the fact that they attracted other
pigeons to this area should be considered.
Councilman Valdes informed Mr. Pennington that precedent had set the City policy for
many years, and that only unusually extreme extenuating circumstances allowed
exceptions to this policy.
ACTION - to deny a permit to Mr. George Pennington to keep pigeons on private property
located at 326 - 29th Street.

Mr.. and Mrs. Connors were present, and their Attorney, Walter N. Anderson, with offices
at 340 South Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, addressed the Council as their
representative, and informed the Council that this matter was being recorded by an

Mr. William R. McCowan, 3748 West 105th Street, Inglewood, Development Director of
Mayco Corporation, former Planning Commissioner for the City of Inglewood, and former
Planning Consultant for the City of Los Angeles, who informed the Council of his
educational background,stated his opinion that he did not find any determination that he
could make against an alcoholic beverage establishment at that particular location.
Mr. McCowan then stated the reasons for this opinion in relation to objections set forth
by the Planning. Commission with regard to proximity of other liquor establishments,
proximity to school and church, imposition upon adjacent residences, and adding his
personal views regarding the issuance of conditional use permits. The Council had no
questions, and Attorney Anderson therefore concluded his presentation.
City Attorney stated that the testimony of the City Planner to the Planning Commission and
the Council and the report of the Chief of Police were before the Council in documentary
form, and the record complete. At the request of Councilman Valdes, Mr. Bud M. Trott,
Director of Building and Safety, stated that the legal capacity of the proposed establish-
ment would be approximately 99 persons, and Attorney Anderson informed the Council that
he had been informed that due to the fact that the premises covered an area 40' x 55', the .
capacity would be limited to 60 persons. In response to a question from Councilman Wise,
Attorney Anderson stated that the proposed hours of operation were 10 a.m. to 12 midnight
or 2 a.m. , depending upon the amount of business at that hour. The public hearing was
then closed.
Speaking from the audience, Mr. C. A. Nash, 2208 Park Lane, Redondo Beach and owner

Reconsideration of Appeal - Connors (Continued)
In reply to a question from Councilman Wise, Mr. David Connors stated that he did not
intend to use jukeboxes in the proposed establishment. Councilmen Belasco and
Valentine stated that they had no further questions, and Mayor Thelen called for a
motion.
ACTION - to deny the application of David D. and Eleanor C. Connors for a conditional
use permit to operate a cocktail lounge at 1133-1137 Pier Avenue, and to instruct the City
Attorney to prepare a formal resolution setting forth the Findings of Fact and Conclusions
of Law for presentation to the Council at the next regular meeting on March 17, 1970.
Motion by Councilman Valentine - Second by Councilman Valdes.
Carried.
Ayes: Councilmen Belasco, Valdes, Valentine, Wise, Mayor Thelen.
Noes: None
Absent: None
FURTHER DISCUSSION - After this motion had been made and seconded, but prior to the
roll call vote, Councilman Valdes stated that he felt that the reason this matter had been
remanded to the City Council for reconsideration was that the action of the Council on
September 2, 1969 had not been based upon all of the material presented to the Planning
Commission. He added that he agreed with Attorney Anderson and Mr. McGowan that
the distance from church and school were not valid issues in this particular situation,
nor was ingress and egress, or walk routes of children. He did hold, however, that the
Planning Commission and the City Council had a right under the Zoning Ordinance to
consider, when making decisions regarding conditional use permits, situations where a
large volume of persons or vehicle traffic will be generated by a proposed establishment,
and a right to consider the potential use of the subject property as determined by the
General Plan.
DEMANDS AND WARRANTS
ACTION - that Demands and Warrants Nos. 6671 and 6672, dated February 20, 1970, in
the amount of $54,917.27 be approved; that Demands Nos. 6673 through 6757, inclusive,
dated March 3, 1970, in the amount of $36,626.36 be approved and Warrants drawn to pay

meeting was adjourned at 12 midnight in memory of Edward Yee, who gave his life in the
service of his country in Viet Nam, to the next regular meeting of the City Council, to be
held in the Council Chamber, City Hall, Civic Center, on Tuesday, March 17, 1970, at

a day or two because of his mother's illness and son's vacation.
Most of our projects are in good order, including the budget, capital

FROM: Wesley C. McDaniel, City Manager •
SUBJECT: Election Policy .
At the last City Council meeting t..he.question.of. possible Police Department
intelligence collection and.diss€+mination relative .to local 'political candidates
or their known •support.ers:was raised: by►.Council.tnembers..wtth the intention
of securing a City.Council policy proscribing such•acttvity by our Police De-
partment. My responseto the City •Council was that this was already the
policy of my. office and • thPrefore of the Department. 1zlawever, 1 commented
that a .stmtlar policy stated by the City. Council would:•not be in violation
of..the: Manager -Council relationship; and -the Council then approved by
voice vote, upon rnotion by Councilman Belesco'.and.secortded by Councilman
• Valdes, such a policy,.
I trust that. your Department will adhere firmly} to the tenets of.this policy,
as well as avoid•ing.any.involvernent.of ani::.kind,. nor'the appearance of
.' involvement, . in.the current City :Council• Mpatgn. :
