LOW PRESSURE SEWER SYSTEM 2037
The City Manager reported that following receipt of a report on
a low pressure sewer system, prepared by Lowry and Associates, staff
met with representatives of the County Sanitation District to discuss
the report, copies of which were sent to the Sanitation District and
the County Engineer. Mr. Smith said he toured the Flying Triangle
area with Sanitation District personnel on July 6, and a letter dated
July 7 from the Sanitation District commenting on the office discuss-
ion and evaluation of the report were sent to members of the Council
and to Dr. Richard Hoffman and Mr. Major Langer, residents of the
Flying Triangle area, and to Lowry and Associates.

July 12, 1982
Mr. Smith asked that the Council provide direction with regard
to a proposed sewer assessment district; specifically whether to pro-
ceed to investigate a district encompassing only properties in the
Flying Triangle area, or whether to consider a district which would
include the entire City. In response to questions by Mayor Pernell,
the City Manager said he would recommend that staff be directed to
proceed in the Flying Triangle area with a modified report which would
include investigation of a gravity flow system, and that cost of a
City' -wide program also be investigated for further consideration of
expansion from a Flying Triangle assessment district to.a City-wide
assessment district at a future date. Mr. Smith asked that further
consideration be deferred until the August 23 meeting to give him an
opportunity to obtain needed information, and to provide time for a
comprehensive review of the report and a recommendation by the Re-
gional Engineer of Los.Angeles County with regard to a sewer district
for the entire City.
Mayor Pernell ordered the report received and further action was
deferred until .August 23 at the request of the Manager..
CO ABATEMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCE, JAMES EVANS, 62 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD- 2083
O
. The City Manager reported that he visited the Evans property at
CD 62 Portuguese Bend Road and by visual inspection he determined that
co as required by Council the septic tank has been sealed and is now
Q used as a holding tank, preventing introduction of any effluent into
the ground mass, and the public nuisance has therefore been abate.d..
The Mayor ordered the matter removed from the agenda, acknow-
ledging compliance with the direction of the.Council.
MR. & MRS. E. R. DOAK; 56 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD, DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE 2108
Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Doak advised the Council that they were at the
meeting.in response to a letter from theManager regarding disposal of
sewage on their property. Mr. Smith said an oral report made by Bob
Thomas, County Geologist, following an inspection of the Doak property
indicated that disposal was through leech lines, and Mr. Thomas recom-
mended that use of the leech lines should be discontinued, and.the
septic tank should .be sealed and used as a holding tank. In the event
there is no septic tank, Mr.. Thomas recommended that an above -ground
holding tank be installed. Mr. Smith said there is some confusion as
to whether there is a septic tank on the property.
Mrs. Doak said disposal is taken care of by leech lines and a
cesspool. She said she and Mr. Doak want to cooperate with the Council
and with other residents; however, she.said they wish to have Mr.
Thomas make his comments and recommendations to them in writing. She .
said, further, that there are financial considerations, especially if
they are required to make.an installation at this time, and join in
an assessment district in the near future. Mayor Pernell assured
Mr. and Mrs. Doaks that the Council will not be capricious in making
demands for compliance, and he said an effort will be made to deter-
mine how much the water from the Doaks residence is contributing to
ground water, since it has been the opinion of all.the geologists that
water from many sources, including rainwater, precpitates land move-
ment in slide areas. The City Manager said it could be determined,
but it would involve a costly process to find the saturation point
in the soil.
Mayor Pernell thanked Mr. and Mrs. Doak for attending the meeting.
He said the Council is aware of their concerns, and will work with them.
LETTER FROM WILLIAM COTTON, GEOLOGIST 2234
Copies of a letter dated June 15, 1982 from William Cotton and
Associates, Geotechnical Consultants, to Dr. Richard Hoffman, 73 Por-
tuguese Bend Road, in response to inquiries about the stability of
Portuguese Bend Road in the area of the active portion of the Flying
Triangle Landslide were distributed'to the Council. The City Manager

Mr. Smith asked that the matter be continued until August 23 to

OPEN AGENDA
The Mayor announced that the Council would hear matters not on
the agenda, and would not act, but if it is deemed necessary., the
matter would be scheduled for the agenda of a subsequent meeting.
DR. ANDRE NEBOLON, 6 -MAVERICK LANE - ROOFING ON RESIDENCE ADDITION 2246
Dr. Andre Nebolon advised the Council that he is having a small
addition to his residence at 6 Maverick Lane, and has been advised
that fire retardant roofing is required for all additions. Dr. Nebolon
said his existing roof area is 4,000 square feet, and the addition is
140 square feet. Because the existing roof is non -fire retardant, and
will have to be replaced eventually, Dr. Nebolon has requested that the
requirements be waived for the 7 x 20 foot addition, and he said he had
discussed the matter with Teena Clifton, former City Manager,. with the
understanding that it would be presented to the Council. Subsequently
Dr. Nebolon said he received a letter from Dor. Smith, City Manager,
advising him of the roofing requirements in the City, and suggesting—
that
uggesting -that he consider re -roofing the entire roof with an acceptable material..
Because of the additional expense that would entail, Dr. Nebolon asked
that the Council.consider his request.
Mr. Smith said that in his letter to Dr. Nebolon he explained the
code requirements, and he suggested that Dr. Nebolon investigate some
of the new acceptable materials in an effort to find something which
would blend with the existing roof and comply with the code. Mayor
Pernell explained that although Dr. Nebolon would be permitted to re -
roof 25% or 1,000 square feet of his existing roof with matching mater-
ial, the code requires that the 140 foot addition, which is approxi-
mately 3 1/2% of the total roof area, must have a fire retardant roof,
since it is an addition, and not' a repair to the existing roof.
With the consent of the Council the Mayor scheduled the matter
for consideration at the next regular meeting of the Council.
DONGGUY JIN, LOT 246 -MS, APPALOOSA LANE, ILLEGAL GRADING 2300
The City Manager advised the Council that Mr. James Lippen,
grading contractor hired by Mr. Dongguy Jin, owner of property on
Appaloosa Lane, was present to address the Council. Mr. Smith said
grading was done on the property without the necessary grading per-
mits, and complaints have been registered with the City by the Fire
Department and the Senior Building Engineering Inspector for Los
Angeles County. Mr. Smith said, further, that a written request was
made for a plan for restoration of the property, but no plan has
been submitted to this date, and a complaint has been filed with the
Contractors' License Board, since the matter has been pending for
sixty days without response from the owner or his contractor, Mr.
Lippen. The Manager said the letter from the Fire Department dated
June 10, 1982 cited the.fire hazard due to the excessive amount of
fuel resulting from a large accumulation of dry brush and trees
which have been bulldozed along Appaloosa Lane and into the canyon.
Mr. Lippen advised the Council that when he purchased a road
use permit from the Community Association on May 5, 1982 to bring
-3-
21'7
July 12, 1982
a tractor in to enlarge an existing avocado orchard on Appaloosa Lane
he did not know a grading permit would be required, since the orchard
was in existence and had an access road on the property. Mr. Lippen
said he has been in business for 22 years, and has worked. on bridle
trails, emergency access roads and other grading projects in the com-
munity. The work was done on May 13 and 14, and on May 18 he was.
notified by the County inspector that all work was stopped until the
proper plans were submitted to the County and permits were issued.
Mr. Lippen said that in response to a letter dated June 2 from Mrs.
Teena Clifton, he came to the City Hall and met with Mrs. Clifton.
She advised him that she had already discussed the matter with Mr..
Jin, and that Mr. McHattie of South Bay Engineering Corporation had
been hired to prepare plans for the property which would be submitted
to the County for approval and issuance of permits. Mr. Lippen said
on July 8 he received a letter from the State Contractor's License
Board advising him that a complaint had been filed and he was given
a notice of 15 days to correct the matter with the City; failure to
do so would result in suspension or revocation of his license. Mr.
Lippen said he had no notice from the City that the complaint would
be filed, and it was his understanding that after his meeting with
00 Mrs. Clifton the matter would be resolved, since it is the responsi-
0 bility of the owner to obtain the necessary permits.
Mr. Lippen said he has met on the site with the City Manager,
m the Fire Chief and Mr. Jin; he met with Mr. Magill in Lomita. Mr.
Q Jin has agreed to comply with requirements of the Fire Department
for brush removal, and Mr. Magill has stated that no additional work
can be, done on the road until plans are completed by South Bay. Mr."
Lippen said he is concerned about the implications in the letter from
the State Contractor's License Board about his contractor's license,.•
and he asked that the City contact the Board and retract the complaint,
since'he has met the requirements for licensing inother cities and
will not be able to work until the plans for the Jin property are
completed, which Mr. McHattie said will take two more weeks.
Mayor Pernell asked the City Attorney to advise the Council in
the matter. Mr. Jenkins read the letter sent to Mr. Lippen by the
State, and said the Council could rescind the complaint, or could
request an extension of time from the State Contractor's Board.
After reading the letter into the record, Mr. Jenkins suggested that
Mr. Lippen write to the State Contractor's License Board and advise
that he has taken steps to remedy the situation, and ask for a time
extension, since the letter requests a response from Mr. Lippen.
ADOPTION OF BUDGET, FISCAL 1982/83 2400
The City Manager presented the proposed Budget for Fiscal 1982/83
and advised the`Council that there are three major issues: a reduction
in proposed expenditures and 5.76 cost of living adjustment proposed -for
employees; reduction of State revenues and adjustment in building per-
mit fees by increase from 2X to'2:1/2X the County of Los Angeles rate
and establishment of a.park in -lieu fee; and an adjusted increase of
$5.50 per household per year, or.approximately-450 per month for re-
fuse collection.
In reviewing the Budget,Mr. Smith explained that revenues from
the State have been reduced drastically, but there is evidence that
some of the cuts will be restored during the year; it was his recom-
mendation that the budget be prepared using.the figures as projected
at this time, rather than on additional revenues which may or may not
be received. He said the revenue to the City is proposed to increase
by approximately $5,000, and most of the increase would be from lease
of properties.and proposed increase in building permit fees.
With regard to expenditures, the Manager has proposed a 5% in-
crease in salaries in addition to adjustments made in February, an
increase in support costs, including insurance, workers' compensation
and contributions to the retirement plan, paid by the City, and.an
allocation for part-time temporary help during vacations by staff.
Mr. Smith said there has been a major increase in the cost of util-
ities, and the remainder of the Maintenance and Operation portion of
the budget has remained relatively constant. The proposed budget
mm
218
July 12, 1982
for Capital Outlay has been reduced by $17,000 with a recommendation
from the Manager that no major equipment be purchased this year. A
consolidation of City Attorney charges was explained by the Manager.,
and Mr. Jenkins said his firms charges have been reviewed and the al-
location is in line with projected costs known at this time. Attend-
ance at Planning Commission meetings only at the request of the City
Manager was approved by the Council and agreed to by the Attorney.
The allocation for Insurance and Bonds has been increased to cover an
anticipated increase in liability in the coming year, Mr. Smith said
and the Mapping allocation has been increased to cover an .order for
new zoning maps. Mr. Smith said a 57o increase has been included for
the Maintenance Assistant, and he requested that the increase be ap-
proved as part of the budget, with the allocation held pending further
recommendations at a later date.
An allocation has been included under Public Safety for partici-
pation in a DUI program (driving under the influence). The Manager
said the cost for the City's participation will be $3,650, and there
may be revenue generated from participation in the program. He said
the other Peninsula Cities have approved participation in the program.
The allocation for Building Permits including inspections by the Coun-
ty Engineer has been increased from $2,000 to $14,000 to bring it in
line with expenditures during the past year. Mr. Smith said the pre-
liminary budget included an allocation of $18,000 for road striping
and delineators. That sum has now been reduced to $9,000.and.Mr.
Smith said it is his plan to do as much work as possible for that
amount, including all stop signs, horse crossings, stop ahead mark-
ings thoughout the City, and center line striping on Portuguese Bend
Road, Eastfield Drive and Crest Road. If the bids for the striping
are lower than anticipated, remaining monies would be spent on new
reflectors on major roads, he said. The cost of marking all roads
in the City would be $25,000 to $27,000 Mr. Smith said, and it was
his recommendation that only essential marking be done unless addi-
tional revenue is received during the year.
Mayor Pernell invited discussion of the Budget. The Mayor said
he wished to discuss the allocation for Conference and Meetings. Mr.
Smith said the allocation previously made for City Council Expense
was combined with current expenditures for attendance at conferences
and meetings for staff as well as Council, and which totaled $2,086
year to date. Mr. Smith said there is an .expense for co -hosting a
meeting of Contract Cities Association once every four years, and an
allocation of $1,000 has .been included for the meeting which is set
for December 15, 1982. Mayor Pernell said"he would prefer to have
the allocations separated, and following discussion the allocation
was amended to show $13,000 for City Council expense, $1,000 for Con-
tract Cities expense, and $1,500 for Conferences and Meetings, with
half of the allocation alloted to staff.
The Budget discussion was suspended temporarily and other business on
the agenda which required advice from the City Attorney was discussed.
AGENDA FOR MEETING 416/2
Mayor Pernell complimented the City Manager on the new format
for the meeting, and he suggested that in the future the agenda be
prepared so that items which require the City Attorney's presence be
scheduled early in the meeting.
K. TABATABAY PROPERTY, 5 CREST ROAD WEST, PUBLIC NUISANCE 429
Mr. Smith reported that pursuant to a request by the City
Council at the last meeting the name of the loan company on the
Tabatabay property has been obtained, also the Federal Bankruptcy
Court Case Number and the Judge to whom the case has been assigned.
The District Attorney has been contacted and has advised Mr. Smith
that he will cooperate with the City with respect to the bankruptcy
proceedings, and will pursue the status of'the Building Permit which
was issued in 1978. Mr. Smith said a letter to the District Attorney
has been prepared and will be mailed after it is approved by the
Council.
-5-

221
July 12, 1982
Mr. Smith said he wished the City Attorney .to advise whether any
recovery possibilities against the property would be available to the
City if the building permit is revoked, since there are bankruptcy
proceedings pending, and costs would be incurred from demoliton of the
site if the City proceeded with abatement of the nuisance. Mr. Jenkins
said that.having learned of the bankruptcy situation the City should
write letters pressing for action, rather than have the City take the
action and pay the bills. Mr. Jenkins suggested that persons who have
an.interest in the property be contacted, and asked to correct the
problems. Councilwoman Leeuwenburgh said she visited the property and
was shocked at the complete deterioration since she last.saw the home;
she said she considers the property a hazard in its present condition.
Following discussion Councilwoman Swanson moved that the letter
prepared by the City Manager be approved for transmittal to the District
Attorney. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Leeuwenburgh and car-
ried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilwomen Leeuwenburgh, Murdock, Swanson

that development of the property may not be possible under requirements
of the Municipal Code for grading, and the architectural requirements
of the Rolling Hills Community Association.'
Mr. Jenkins reviewed the letter and approved mailing it to the
owner, with copies to the. Community Association, Rolling Hills Board
of Realtors and State Department of Real Estate.
THE CITY ATTORNEY WAS EXCUSED FROM THE MEETING AT 9:30 P.M.
ADOPTION OF BUDGET, FISCAL 1982/83
Discussion of the proposed budget was resumed. The City Manager
reviewed the Recreation Fund., Self -Insurance Fund and Refuse Collection
Fund with the.Council.. A letter dated June 22, 1982 from Removal
Incorporated outlining the justifications for a rate increase of $5:50
per household per year, or 450 per month, was presented to the Council
with a proposed resolution amending the fee schedule for refuse collec-
tion. The'City Manager.advised that under Proposition "A" the City
will receive approximately $19,000, and a Transit Fund will be created
in the budget, and a plan for possible expenditures will have to be
drafted in order to receive the funds. Mr. Smith recommended, further,
that the Council approve.a park in -lieu fee, pursuant to the Subdivi-
sion Map. Act, explaining that when a property is divided in the State
of California, at the discretion of the local approving agency a fee
can be.charged to offset the demand placed on recreational services
in.the community by development of the land. The City Manager was
authorized to prepare an ordinance establishing a park in -lieu fee
for review by the City Council.
Councilwoman Swanson said she worked with Mr. Smith and the City
Treasurer, Mr. Courtright.on preparation of the budget, and.she wished
to compliment the City Manager,on his presentation of the Budget to
the City Council. Councilwoman Swanson moved that the Budget for
Fiscal 1982/83, as amended, be adopted, and that ordinances and reso-
lutions as recommended by the City Manager be prepared and presented
