at the previous meeting, and Council had
requested additional information
concerning the selection of neighborhoods
and the costs of insulation. He stated
that the staff report indicated the
various neighborhoods with homes eligible

not included in the program; the number
of homes participating in the program;

Terrace, Parkhaven and Southwood were
participating neighborhoods; par-
ticipation in the various phases; the
cost per house by project phase; that
Council appreciated the information given
by staff on the number of homes to be
insulated in the various neighborhoods;
the people in the neighborhoods did not
understand how the noise contours were
drawn, when neighborhoods were impacted
by jet noise and were not included in the
foot print maps; that the neighborhoods
should be treated fairly so there were
not bad feelings by the residents; that
the insulation of a neighborhood should
extend to an intersection, rather than in
the middle of the block; that the cri-
teria for selection had to be acceptable
to the FAA; that binding agreements were
entered into by property owners for the
insulation; concern in the neighborhoods
of aircraft spillage on private property;
that the Airport could identify indivi-
dual flights in the event of droppage,
that sufficient direction had been given
by Council on this item.

MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE
REGULATION OF CARD ROOMS
LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS
Mr. George Bugnatto, 216 Juniper Ave.,
stated that he represented the Oldtown
Homeowners Assn. and they were concerned
with an expansion of this business
affecting the quality of life in the
area. He stated that the intent of the
master plan for the downtown was to phase
out the two cardrooms, and questioned why
the Council would entertain an expansion
of hours, increase of bet limits, and
allow more cardgames.
He stated that he could understand local
people wanting to have a friendly
cardgame, however, by raising the bet
limit it would attract high rollers to
the area.
Mr. Jack Stuart, 910 Linden Ave., stated
that he was a member of the same
Association and agreed with Mr.
Bugnatto's remarks.
He stated that he was a retired enfor-
cement officer of thirty-seven years in
special licensing in gaming, and had
noted in the ordinance that Policy 47
stated that these businesses were to be
phased out of existence. He continued,
yet here the Council was considering
enlarging the cardrooms. He stated that
even if these two cardrooms had not
caused trouble in this City, one could
look at large operations in Los Angeles
and other cities and see that there is
trouble.
He believed that if the citizens of this
City were allowed to vote on this issue,
they would vote them out of existence.
Mayor Teglia stated that the items that
dealt with expansion of hours and tables
had been referred to the Planning
Commission, and were not before the
Council tonight. She stated that this
was just adding games that the Attorney
General had declared legal in the State.

ciated the comments made by citizens, but
emphasized that the Police Chief and
Staff had spent a lot of time analyzing
the requests and had come up with a good
compromise.
Discussion followed: the size of pots
with the $200 bet limit; that pots could
be as high as $1,000; if Councilman
Addiego believed that changing the bet
and adding the two games would require
additional police services he would not
vote on the issue, and believed that
other businesses on the 300 block of
Grand created the police problems; that
currently the cardrooms were a legitimate
use, and the owners were known to the
Council and the community; that this
would allow the cardrooms to stay in the
market place, etc.
