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.

June 1.0, 1974

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:

.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. The Mayor so ordered.
RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT 161
Councilwoman Le Conte reuorted,that.she had attended a Rapid Trans-
it Hearing with Mayor Battaglia on. Thursday, June 6th. 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

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.

to Councilman Heinsheimer and asked that he make a report and recom-

woman Le Conte if she would report on the matter to the Council.

little more than the minimum required to meet requirements of the

1) Lights: Light shields were ordered by the Tennis Club from the
vendor who installed the original lights. The wrong shields
were furnished, and had to be returned for replacement.
Because it will take approximately one month for the vendor
to correct the error, the Tennis Club has requested that
permission, for night play until 9:00 P.M. using the lights
without shields be granted, and that when the screens are
installed, the original 10:00 P.M. lights -off time be restored.

trees near Court #1 be cropped in an effort to control drop-

eucalyptus trees, he did not find cropping effective in con-
trolling dropping leaves, and recommended against granting
the request, since cropping encourages new growth and results
in a bushier tree. Councilman Rose said he considers the
matter one of safety and should be considered from the stand -
LI_
point of possible injury to residents and exposure of the
'j0
City to liability.
