MATTERS"FROM OFFICIALS Councilman Taylor stated that he had received complaints regarding the property on Rio Hondo and Valley which is on the . southwest corner. He stated that there were 10 to 15 inoperative vehicles all parked at that corner. He felt that it should be checked into. Mayor Imperial commented that he had noticed that the lot, was empty Saturday morning and by Saturday evening it was full. CM 8-12-86 Page #2 Councilman Taylor requested that a Signal on Lower Azusa and Encinita be placed on the Agenda so that it can be up-dated. Councilman Taylor requested that Juan Nunez comment on some items that he had brought to the attention of the Council several months ago. Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, stated that there was a guide-anchor at the corner of Strathmore and Graves. He also noticed another guide-anchor on Del Mar just south of Williams School which sits inside the sidewalk, and he could not understand why that job was approved that way. This could be a hazzard and could cause a fall. Councilman Taylor stated that the reason he wanted Mr. Nunez to comment on these items tonight was because there was a claim against the City because there was a sidewalk 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch out of.level, and the other claim which was presented to the Council this evening was a youth who climbed over the fence At Garvey Swim- ming pool and hooked his arm on top of the chain link and he is suing the City for that. He stated that he appreciated Mr. Nunez and the fact that he brings these things to the attention of the Council and although the items may seem petty, but they are not as far as the City's liability. Juan Nunez commented that several months ago he had mentioned that a cover plate(yard box cover) at the Library was needed, and up to a week and a half ago it still had not been taken care of. He added that he had called the City about a month ago regarding a hole in the street, at Evelyn and Garvey, and it is still there. Mayor Imperial requested a status report on all these items and when they will be resolved and why that hole has not been re- paired in that period of time. Councilman Taylor stated that the cover plate at the Library may be the responsibility of the County. Mayor Imperial stated that the staff can come back to the Council if need be and possibly something can be negotiated with the County to get it taken care of. B. Mayor Imperial requested a status report on the Caltrans yard at Walnut Grove and Hellman, and he felt that it is looking worse than it ever has. Mayor Imperial also requested that the owner of-the gas station across the street be contacted to fence the property off or maintain it. He felt that it was getting to look as bad as the Caltrans yard. VI. STATUS REPORT A. PETITION AGAINST THE WIDENING OF FALLING LEAF AVENUE . Donald Wagner, Assistant City Manager, stated that cards have been sent to all the affected homeowners on Falling Leaf informing them of a meeting to be held at City Hall on Wednesday, August 13, 1986. He stated that 10 cards had been returned and most of those cards are in favor of widening the street. . Councilman Taylor stated that at the last meeting there was a petition presented to the Council from at least 30 people on Falling Leaf that were opposed to the widening.and the decision will be up to the people who attend the meeting tomorrow night. Donald Wagner, Assistant City Manager, stated that it will be placed on the next Council Agenda. CM 8-12-86 Page #3 VIII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS A. Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, inquired what could be done about parties that are being held late at night. He stated that he realized that there was an ordinance that is in effect; how- ever, it does not work. He has called the Sheriff's department regarding the loud music and noise; and the deputies will arrive and tell them to leave, but as soon as the officers leave they just start up again. He commented that at 2717 there was a party that lasted until Midnight on July 26th, and then again on the 27th, they had speakers out in their backyard listening and watch- ing the soccer game, and then on August 3rd, at 2634 Del Mar they had a mariachi band that played until 2:30 in the morning, at 2717 Del Mar there was a party from 9:00 to 11:45 and in all cases the sheriffs have been called. He felt that it was fine for people to have parties and have fun; but they should hire a hall if they are going to disturb their neighbors in the late night hours. Councilman Taylor suggested that Mr. Nunez make two phone calls to the Sheriff's Department if the noise goes on after they have been there once. The first visit by the Sheriff's deputies is to give them warning but the second visit requires a citation. Mayor Imperial directed Deputy Baltazar to stop by at these addresses and notify the people that there have been complaints regarding their loud parties,and that they should restrain their activities. He requested Mr. Nunez give these addresses to Don Wagner so that they can be.handled. There being no other business to handle, the Council Meeting was adjourned to August 19, 1986 at 7:00 p.m. to meet with the Planning Commission for a review of the General Plan.
