However, you will remember that in June, 1970 curbs, gutter, and driveway approach were constructed on one side of La Fayette Street which included 3421, so it's only the sidewalk that we need. We also prefer that the City of Rosemead do this construction. We ask you to send statement for cost of putting in the walk across our forty foot lot direct to us, there is no need to place a lien on the property. Sincerely,. A. C.

V. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS A. Councilman Imperial stated that he had been approached by a Senior Citizen Bingo group to investigate if Council would consider the purchase of a lighted board and a better sound system since some of the senior citizens are not able to see or hear very well with the system that they are using right now. Mayor Tury stated that sounded fine. Councilman Taylor inquired how many different groups would be using the system and where these groups hold their meetings. Councilman Imperial stated that there are about five dif- ferent Bingo groups within the City and they are at the Community Center, Zapopan Park and Garvey Park, and that the system requested would be portable and could be taken where the Bingo events are being held. He stated that the City of Alhambra recently purchased such equipment and possibly they could be asked for information. He requested that the information be presented to the Council. B.

CM 2-8-83 Page H5 VII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS A. Juan Nunez, 2702 Del Mar, spoke regarding the construc- tion that is taking place on Del Mar. He stated that he had spoken to Mr. Dickey about a telephone box that was installed on the corner of Newmark & Del Mar on the sidewalk. The telephone company had installed a box almost in the center of the sidewalk, and it would make it impossible for a wheelchair ramp to be installed if need be. Mr. Nunez stated that the water lines that have been installed to his property was connected with a 3/4 inch 'pipe from the main to the meter and should have been a one inch line connection. Councilman Taylor requested that some research be done regard- ing what Mr. Nunez had stated about the water lines. Councilman Taylor stated that three or four units cannot.be run off a 3/4 inch pipe. He requested that a letter from the Water Company be presented to the Council stating what the problem would be if the City were to adopt a policy of any street reconstruction that is done, that the minimum water line be one inch, and the reason for that if they are using plastic piping, the difference would not be more than $10.00. Mr. Nunez also mentioned the utility poles and the-fact that they have not been placed straight, and inquired if the new poles would also be. used for electricity. Robert T. Dickey, Assistant City Manager, stated that those are joint poles and the poles would have the telephone lines on it and would have the electrical drops from the east-side. Juan Nunez stated that he had spoken to people on Newmark and wonder why the water meter were not installed on the curb side of the sidewalk instead of their property side of the side walk. Robert Dickey stated that ideally they would like to have the meter box out of the sidewalk to eliminate the possibility of that box sinking or adjusting somehow. The water company is responsible but the City has a responsibility to make sure that the sidewalk is o. k. Mr. Nunez spoke about the intersection of Newmark and Jackson and that the water does not drain properly. Mr. Dickey stated that that particular section on Jackson between Newmark and Fern was always flat and there was always standing water and the improvements have been installed and be- cause it is flat it drains very slowly. There being no further business, the Council adjourned to the next regular Meeting on February 22, 1983 at 8:00 p. m. Respectfully submitted: City Clerk APPROVED: MAYOR CM 2-8-83 Page #6
