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.

Minutes of May 24, 1965
COUNCILMAN FULLERTON MOVED, COUNCILMAN ALLEN SECONDED, THAT THE CITY MANAGER
BE AUTHORIZED TO NEGOTIATE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF EXISTING APPRAISALS FOR THE
PROCUREMENT OF 30 FEET ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST BATES AVENUE BETWEEN SOUTH ~&JON
STREET AND SOUTH ZUNI STREET AND THAT THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK BE, AND ARE HEREBY

Upon the call of the roll, the vote resulted as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Allen, Fullerton, Rice, Love.
Nays: Councilmen Hanson, Kreiling.
Absent: Councilman Braun.
The Mayor declared the motion carried.
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.
