MOTOROLA ALERT MONITOR RECEIVER 35 The Manager presented a letter dated dune 10, 1974 from Robert Mohr, RadioCall Corporation. Mayor Battaglia said that when the Council failed to.approve payment of the bill for the Motorola Alert Monitor Receivers at the meeting of May 13, 1974 and directed that the units be returned he was under the impression. that they had been ordered for demonstration and evaluation only. Subsequently former Mayor Ted Bear advised Mayor Battaglia that the items were a special order, and he sent Mayor Battaglia a copy of a letter from the Manager ordering the items as directed by the Emergency Operation Committee. After review- ing the .letter and establishing that it constituted a purchase order, Mayor Battaglia said he considered payment for the units a legal obli- gation of the Council. The Mayor then asked Dr. Martin Gould, co- chairman of the Emergency Operation Committee to address the Council. Dr. Gould said residents of Rolling Hills are in the same state of tranquility that existed last year before the fire on June 22, 1973. Recognizing that this state of apathy would set in after the shock of the fire wore off, the Disaster Planning Committee felt that steps should be taken to sustain. interest in averting future disaster, and he asked the Council to consider the purchase on the basis of need, rather than as an obligation to the vendor. Further, Dr. Gould said purchase of the units were included in the budget, and the most econ- omical one-way communication units were selected. Testing of the units by the gate guards indicated that the system operated satisfactorily. 192 June 1.0, 1974 Dr. Gould said he had contacted members of the Council individually, and they had indicated that they would be willing to again consider the matter. Councilman Rose moved that the matter be reconsidered by the Council; the motion was seconded by Councilwoman Le Conte. After further discussion of the matter a motion for approval and acceptance of the units was made by Councilwoman Le Conte, seconded by Councilman Rose and carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Crocker, Heinsheimer, Le Conte, Rose Mayor Battaglia NOES: None ABSENT: None .JOINT POLICE PROTECTION - CITIES ON PALOS VERDES PENINSULA 150 Councilman Crocker requested that the matter of joint police pro- tection for cities on the Palos Verdes Peninsula be removed from the agenda until after the cities have met in August and additional inform- ation is available.

In presenting testimony, representatives of South Bay cities reported that they would not be inclined to approve imposition of a 1q tax in, the November elec- tion unless the Rapid Transit District is willing to modify the proposal they have made with respect to transit facilities in the South Bay. Councilwoman, Le Conte reported that she had spoken on behalf of Rolling Hills, Mayor Joseph Barnett made the presentation for Palos Verdes Es- tates, Councilwoman. Nell Mirels for Rolling Hills Estates and Council- man Guenther Buerke for Rancho Palos Verdes. The Mayors of Long Beach, Torrance, E1 Segundo and other people from other cities in the South Bay also made strong presentations, she reported. Following the pres- entations the Chairman of the Board said it would be necessary to have support with financing if the plan were to succeed. The support would have to come from Washington, as well as from electoral support, the Chairman said, and Councilwoman Le Conte reported that she, as directed by Mayor Battaglia, had sent telegrams to Congresswoman Yvonne Burke and Congressman Glenn Anderson requesting that Los Angeles County be given top priority for funding for mass transportation. The Mayor thanked Councilwoman Le Conte for her presentation. FEDERAL SAFE STREETS ACT, AB1306 180 Councilman Rose reported that the Federal Safe Streets Act, AB1306 has already been signed by the Governor and is a law, and he requested that the matter be removed from the agenda. The Mayor so ordered. FEDERAL AID HIGHWAY ACT 1973 187 Councilman. Rose said the act is voluminous, and he still has not received a copy. The Mayor ordered the matter removed from the agenda until further information is available. TENTATIVE TRACT 32071, ROBERT DUNN, 2 POPPYTRAIL 188 Mayor Battaglia opened a discussion of the 60 day moratorium on the building permit issued for 2 Poppy Trail Road which was imposed on April 8, 1974 and terminated. on June 6, 1974, The City Manager reported that she had discussed the matter with Mr. Bruce Lockwood, Geologist for Mr. Dunn, and with Mr. Robert Smith, Los Angeles County Engineering Geologist. Mr. Lockwood reported that June 10, 1974 he had received the "as built" drawings from South Bay Engineering Corporation, and is in the process of preparing a report for submit- tal to the Engineering Geology Department of Los Angeles County Engineer. Mr. Smith advised Mrs. Clifton that he would make a report to the Council based on Mr. Lockwood's report at the earliest oppor- tunity. Mrs. Clifton said she had so advised Dr. Samuel Kim, 7 Poppy Trail Road, who was present at the meeting. The Mayor asked Dr. Kim if he wished to comment on the matter, and Dr. Kim said he did not. Councilman. Crocker said that Mr. Lockwood is the geologist for a home which he is presently building, and he sent Mr. Crocker a copy of a contract containing two provisions which he refused to sign, since he considered the conditions unacceptable; i.e. that the liability of the geologist be limited to $2,000 from any source, and that no party other than the party Mr. Lockwood contracted with directly shall have any legal rights of any kind against him for any failures in his work. Since the residents rely on the City to protect them during construc- tion as well as during construction on paroperty adjacent to theirs, 00 Councilman Crocker recommended that the Council not permit approval *-� of contracts which limit liability to a token amount and which prohibit his liability to a third party other than the party with whom he has Q contracted. Councilman Rose said he doubted that Mr. Lockwood's con- tracting with the land owner could limit liability with a third party. The Mayor asked the City Attorney to comment, and Mr. Kinley said the Contract is an attempt to get away from errors and ommissions, and the contract between the two parties is a binding agreement. Council- man Crocker said he had deleted the two provisions from his contract with Mr. Lockwood. With respect to the Dunn property, Mr. Kinley said Mr. Lockwood had been hired by Mr. Dunn, not the City Council, and if the Council had relied on the report presented by Mr. Dunn stating that all cor- rective measures had been taken to stabilize the area, and subsequently it turned out that it was not so, the injured party would have a claim against the City under provisions of the Government Code, and against Mr. Lockwood individually, and the $2,000 limitation would not inter- fere with the individual's cause of action against Mr. Lockwood. Coun- cilman Crocker said his interpretation of the contract was that a two- party contract was legal and binding as to what one party's liability is, and that if he had contracted with Mr. Lockwood, he would be in- dividually liable for any damage to other property resulting from failure of his property, and Mr. Lockwood would not. Mayor Battaglia questioned whether the City Council should become involved in negotia- tions between a resident and his geologist. Councilman Crocker said it was his opinion, that the Council has the right and maybe an obliga- tion, since it was a Council requirement that a geological report be submitted before a building permit is issued. Mayor Battaglia asked for further comment, and Councilwoman Le Conte said she considers the matter serious, since the report of the geologist is the basis on which the City Engineer and CountyGeologist proceed to make a decision on behalf of the City, and the City might be assuming some responsibil- ity under terms of a contract which limits the geologist's responsibil- ity and liability as described by Councilman Crocker. The City Attorney said the City is required under the Inspection sections in exercise reasonable care to inspect. The Mayor directed that in the interest of time the City Attorney, Councilman Crocker and he discuss the matter rurther, and report to the Council. Following the discussion Councilman Crocker moved that the mora- torium on the building permit for 2 Poppy Trail Road be extended until the Council reviews the information when it is submitted by the geolo- gist and takes an action based on that information. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rose and carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Crocker, Heinsheimer, Le Conte, Rose Mayor Battaglia NOES: None ABSENT: None 194 June 10, 1974 The Mayor directed the Manager to notify Mr. Dunn, his attorney, Mr. Langford, Dr. Kim and his attorney, Mr. Boland of the Council's action. EMERGENCY CHECK LIST 266 Mr. Vernon Fay presented a list entitled "City of Rolling Hills Check List to Aid in Emer ency Situations" and advised the Council that the list had been compile by the Disaster Planning Committee and had been approved by the former City Council. It was the plan of the Com- mittee to furnish a lisp to each family in Rolling Hills, and when com- pleted the information would be kept on, file in the Administration Office to be used in an emergency. Mr. Fay said completion of the information requested on the list is voluntary, and anyone who does not wish to have the information known will not be required to complete the list. Mayor Battaglia suggested that prior to being distributed, the forms should be stamped with the information that ompletion of the form is optional and voluntary. Councilman Crocker suggested that residents who have roof sprink- lers should be asked to have, the Turn -on for the sprinkler clearly marked so that in an emergency the roof sprinklers could be turned on by anyone near the home, without having to come to the City Hall to look up the information. Mayor Battaglia suggested that the Disaster Planning Committee advise the area captains of the need for confidentiality of information regarding residents, and suggested also that the information be returned in sealed envelopes, to be opened only in case of emergency. GASOLINE PURCHASE AGREEMENT 315 The Agreement for Gasoline Purchase from the Consolidated Fire Protection District by the City of Rolling Hills was presented for execution.

Mr. James Milliken, Public Relations Consultant, asked that the Council refrain from taking any action until after an action had been taken by the Federal Government. Mayor Battaglia referred the matter to Councilman Heinsheimer and asked that he make a report and recom- mendation at the next meeting of the Council. Councilman Heinsheimer said he did not expect to be at the next meeting, and asked Council- woman Le Conte if she would report on the matter to the Council. CALIFORNIA CONTRACT CITIES ASSOCIATION 356 The Mayor presented a letter from California Contract Cities Association dated May 16, 1974 requesting that the City of Rolling Hills participate in a joint meeting with Lomita and Rolling Hills �• Estates, and co -host the November 1974 meeting.
