Also Present: City Manager Dial, Administrative Assistant Malone, Acting Clerk of the Council, City Attorney Criswell. Absent: Councilman Braun. The Mayor declared a quorum present. Mr. Francis X. Byrne and Mr. Joe Berenbaum were present with regard to right- of-way for West Bates Avenue from South Tejon Street to South Zuni Street. The City Manager passed around pictures relating to right-of-way acquisition if right-of-way were to be acquired from the south side of West Bates Avenue. Pictures indicated one house and one other structure within the area necessary to be taken. The City Manager indicated that existing appraisals quoted 25¢ per square foot for sim.l lar land in the area and that the present area concerned consists of approximately 30,000 square feet or $7,500. The Manager further indicated that Paving District 15 bids are low and that money for this purpose may be available fran the Paving District. Councilman Kreiling stated that appraisals should be made. Councilman Allen inquired of the cost of buying right-of-way, the cost of paving and when this paving might be done. The City Manager indicated that the only cost to the City at this time would be the cost for the paving the 60 feet adjacent to Fire Station No. 4, that the remaining costs would be borne by the developer. This paving could not be done with Paving District No. 15, butif the developer chose to privately pave the north 30 feet, the south 30 feet could be initiated into Paving District No. 16 with all costs being assessed to adjacent property owners. Mr. Byrne indicated that he preferred the land to be taken from the south, but that this appeared to be impractical and that 25¢ per square foot seemed to be a fair and reasonable price.

The City Attorney brought to the attention of the Council the matter of the north 97.16 feet of Lot 9, Block 10, Vista Heights, Second Filing, belonging to Mr. Nealand L. Ransom and fronting on the 3000 block of South Tejon Street. The City Attorney pointed out that appraisers employed by the City appraised Lot 9 ~as a full lot consisting of 147.16 feet at a value of $550. the south 50 feet of this lot had previously been sold and the east 15 feet acquired by the City from the present owner. Mr. Maurice Reuler, Atttorney for Mr. Ransom, has offered the City $500 to be applied to the cost of the paving with the City paying the balance of the aJsessment for the 15 foot right-of-way. Under this offer, it appears that the City would not be required to pay a sum in excess of what the Council has previously authorized to be paid for right-of-way in this area, which is the app- raised value plus ten per cent. The City Attorney recommended that a special agreement be entered into incorporating the Ransom proposal.
