up-grading the dollar amount from $2000 to $4000, but that the in-
tent of the existing Ordinance does have merit.

be kept at this time, but felt that even the $4000 figure is a-not-a
realisticeone.

if that was agreeable to the rest of the Council.

money in today's market.

VI. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS
A. Councilman Taylor stated that he had been on Newmark and
Jackson where the Street improvements had been put in and requested
a report from the staff on the engineering grades and curb and gutter
grades from Jackson Street to the east ridge on Newmark. He felt
that from what he could see the entire street was going to flood over
the curbs with no way for the water to getout. He also understood
that prior to the street improvement there had been a temporary drain
that got that water out of there. He added that south one block to
Fern Street all the drains were installed at the same time the street
improvements were put in.
B., Councilman Imperial requested a report from the Police De-
partment of the selected enforcement of the In and Out Burger.
Councilman Imperial stated that Saturday night he saw a woman
tie two large dobermans to the front gate of the Chamber of Commerce
building,,and Sunday morning they were still there. He called the
Animal Sherlter twice at 35C'a call, and wondered about the kind of
service we can expect from-the L. A. County Animal Control. He stated
that they had promised the residents a toll-free number and they have
had enough time to do it.
Mayor Tury requested a full report on this issue.
Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager,.stated that as of yesterday,
we now have a local toll-free number.which will be given out and
Mr. Baca will be here to report to the Council at the next'meeting.
C. Frank G..Tripepi, City Manager, expressed his appreciation
to the City Council for their vote of confidence in consideration of
his salary and hoped that he could operate up to the expectations of
each member of the Council for.the'next fiscal year.
VII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
A. Juan Nunez „2702 Del Mar, requested that when.they start
breaking up the street for the water lines, that someone be there
to check on the dirt and dust in that area.
Juan Nunez commented on the luncheon and dinner expenses at
the City's expense and did not feel that it was appropriate.
Councilman Imperial inquired if Mr. Nunez knew that he would
turn in his Airline tickets for government fare because he'would
be on military leave and would turn over the.difference back to the
City or that he has never collected for gas from the City for gas
used for the City.
Mayor Tury stated that he,did not feel that anyone on this
Council abused its priviledges. Once in awhile something is said
about a lunch or dinner because it seems a bit.out of line or high,
but he felt that.everyone.on this Council gives more than it takes.
Councilman Taylor stated that during budget session which did
last for a full day on Saturday, lunch had been brought in for the
Council and the staff, but the way this item was described, as a
discussion prior to the meeting, he did not want a prescedent started
that could take place prior to each Council Meeting.
Juan Nunez stated that he just wanted the Council to know that
the citizens are aware of the situation.
Mayor Tury stated that everyone of the Councilmen stand for
election and any time anyone abuses their position, the records are
open and anyone can see what is spent. Election time we are all
responsible for our own actions, and the ballot box is the place
to register your complaints.
There being no further business to be handled, the Council Meet-
ing was'adjourend to the next regular Meeting of September 14, 1982
at 8:00 p. m.
