Mrs. Dunnum arrived at the Council Meeting at 8:15 AM.
The City Clerk continued with the correspondence.
(5) A letter from Ramco Construction Company signed by Jerry Monkarsh
relative to request for matching funds for construction of sidewalk along
the Tweedy Lane frontage known as 8000 Telegraph Road.
Mr. Jerry Monkarsh, 8418 Blackburn, Los Angeles, stated he requested
matching funds as he was of the understanding that such financial assistance
has been given by the City in the past. After discussion by Council of the
fact that this street is not adjacent to a school and that this location is
in close proximity to the pedestrian overpass which is to be constructed
at Tweedy Lane, it was moved by Councilman Dickerson, seconded by Councilman
Corbin and passed by the following vote that the request for matching funds
on this project be denied.

(6) A petition signed by 15 property owners relative to changes on
Gainford Avenue, relative to inadequate drainage. It was pointed out by
Mr. Spindel that the flow on the north side of the street adjacent to the
curb would be two feet in depth during a peak ru nbff. Further, the drainage
problem in this area will exist until such time as an outfall storm drain can
be extended to serve this area.
The City Manager recommended holding this matter until after the storm
drain measure on the November ballot is voted upon and after that time, a
storm drain might be started to extend from 5th Street up Western, Florence
east, up Downey to take care of storm drainage.
It was moved by Councilman Corbin, seconded by Councilman Temple and
so ordered to defer until after the November election (storm drain ballot
issue) the Gainford Avenue petition.
(7) A letter from William V. Ritchie, President of All American Nut
Company, Inc., appealing the order of the Planning Commission made with
reference to Lot Split #326.
Mr. Griselle stated that a map attached at the back of the mgmo sub-
mitted to Council on this case with their agenda folder shows long -range
planning has proposed Pivot Street going through to Koopman, and has for
some time as shown on the Los Angeles County House Numbering Map. In
fact, it was presumed an easement had already created a private street
there, but upon investigation this was proved erroneous and there is no
easement. A photo submitted shows the property in question and how it is
proposed that Pivot and Koopman be tied together. The map attached at the
beginning of the memo is what the Planning Commission approved which includes
extension of Pivot Street to Koopman to standards of the Department of Public
Works.
It was added that in lot split proceedings, the Planning Department
and Commission's policy is to require all streets and street improvements
which are not already in place, and a lot split is a "small subdivision ",
with full improvements being required on all subdivisions. Mr. Griselle
stated that the Planning Commission was aware that if this lot split is
� approved as requested, with no street extension or improvements, it will be
almost impossible ever to do so in the future. This would be the last chance
for this development.
It was thus moved by Councilman Temple, seconded by Councilman Corbin and
so ordered that this matter of Lot Split #326 be held under submission with
a subsequent meeting arranged between the property owners.
(8) A notice from the League of California Cities of the Institute
of Mayors and Councilmen to be held in Santa Monica, May 17 -19, 1964.

(9) A memorandum from Mr. A. C. Gabriel, Director of Finance, relative
to final billing from Royal M. Sorensen, City Attorney, for court appear-
ances and expense on the Water Division litigation in the amount of $12,000.
It was requested, since there are insufficient funds in the Water Division
budget to cover this expenditure, the sum of $12,000 be appropriated from
Unappropriated Reserves- -Water Division to Account'. No. 5505.
It was moved by Councilman Corbin, seconded by Councilman Dickerson and

(10) Letters from General Telephone Company (11) Leo,A. Gorman and (12)
the Library Advisory Board commending the fine services of the Police Depart-
ment. The City Manager added that the departments are to be commended for the
appropriate manner in which they are conducting this joint operation of
inter - departmental assistance through the police department to conduct in the
library. Ordered received and filed.
(13) A letter of appeal with $50 deposit of the decision of the
Planning Commission in Zone Exception Case No. 469 from Mendel Friedman.
It was moved by Councilman Corbin, seconded by Councilman Dickerson and
so ordered to set hearing for 7:30 P.M., May 11, 1964, in the Council
Chamber of the Downey City Hall, on Zone Exception Case No. 469.
(14) A letter from Casjens and Casjens, Attorneys at Law on behalf of
Joseph J. and Clara Janvier relative to denial of Lot Split #327, 6607
Rivergrove Avenue. It was stated that appellants had developed their
property in accordance with Los Angeles County requirements. Mr. Griselle
stated that the Planning Department has no knowledge of encouragement of
this development by the Los Angeles County; that private streets are not
accepted in lot splits except under certain limited conditions which are
not present in this case. He stated the lots are approximately 3400 square
feet, 3300 square feet and 2000 square feet, after the proposed street is
deducted, and the minimum lot size in this area is 6,000 square feet so
the zoning ordinance would not permit such a lot split. He also stated the
property is not served by sanitary sewers and it is not recommended that
septic tanks be installed. He added that the Planning Department and
Commission feel this is premature as a standard street as proposed by
A.D. #58 should first be constructed and then there would be time to
determine what lots are splitable. The applicant had been so informed,
according to Mr. Griselle.
It was moved by Councilman Temple, seconded by Councilman Dickerson
and so ordered that Lot Split #327 ( Casjens- -6607 Rivergrove Avenue) be
placed on the agenda for the morning meeting of May 26, 1964.
Mayor Morton reported that he was in receipt of a letter from the
Park Board relative to appointment to fill the vacancy upon removal of

a plaque to J. B. Florence for his distinguished service as a sergeant for
the Downey Police Department on his retirement from disability. it was
stated that this is the first retirement from the department (and the City)
and that the former Sgt. Florence had been a tremendous asset to the
department and the citizens of the community. His disability had been
caused by a back injury and subsequent surgery occurring when he tackled an
escaping prisoner in front of the Police Department.
Mr. Florence thanked the Council and the City for the wonderful expe-
rience of being a member of the Downey Police Department and an employee of
the City of Downey. Due to the consideration and kind thoughts shown him
during his convalescence he stated the City was deserving of his highest
praise.
