Councilman Bruesch commented on Proposition #51 which is the "Deep Pockets" Legislation, and if the Council felt as strongly as he does on this legislation, he wanted to direct staff to prepare a resolution in support of.this Proposition 1151.

Councilman Bruesch stated that he agreed with Councilman Tury in that he felt that this community is in need of some type of senior housing, and since demographics are changing this might be a step that should be looked into.

He felt that in view of what she has done for this com- munity, that something should be done in her honor. He thought a scholarship fund would be appropriate, and this fund would be administered by Rosemead High School for at least $500. Councilman Tury stated that he thought it was a good idea, and,he would like the attorney to look into it to see what can be done. Councilman Bruesch also agreed with the idea, and he stated that he had been priviledged to see Jeanette Larsen work with children, both at the Heritage House and the classroom, and her enthusiasm for local history and depth of knowledge was a real pleasure to watch, and he felt that a scholarship in her name would be a fitting tribute. Mayor Imperial directed the City Attorney to look into it, and the City Manager to see what it would entail to get it started.
