The scout leaders presented their proposal to completely renovate the building to meet all the city building and fire codes at no expense to the city, utilizing donated labor, equip- ment, materials and money. They further felt they would like to retain the complete responsibility of cleaning, maintaining, and scheduling the building for the use of scout troops and proposed forming a scout commission as a laison to answer to pertinent city officials. Following lengthy discussion of the subject, Mr. Mastroianni moved the commission recommend to the City Administrator that the offer of the scout representatives be accepted with the following stipulations: 1. That all work be accomplished in accordance with city building and fire codes and under the supervision of the Department of Public Works. 2. That all renovation work be accomplished within one year of this date. 3. That the responsibility of building maintenance and scheduling be 1 shifted to the Recreation and Parks Department since the cabin is a city building. RECREATION IS A FAMILY AFFAIR y -2- Mr. Doyle Miller, Administrator March 15, 1968 4. That first priority of cabin use be given to scouting organiz- ations, but that other organizations be allowed to use the facilities at the discretion of the Recreation and Parks Department.

This log cabin is one of the- few remaining landmarks left in the city, and we would like to see it remain. In fact we are asking the Council to turn the cabin over to Huntington Beach' Post 73683, VFW, and we will put the building in shape and otherwise remodel it inside to make the Post a place to hold their meetings. All repair work and remodeling will be done at no expense to the city, and we will also pay for the utilities, etc. Aside from the purchase of a tax title lot-in the early 1950s, our post has asked-no quarter from the city. We were taxpayers until we disposed of our property to the Boys Club of Huntington Beach, and have since do- nested $2500 to the Boys Club to help in their first year of operation. We hope that we are considered in the above mentioned matter and that the cabin-will riot be dismantled. We will leave the exterior as it is so that the landmark of 1923 will remain in its rustic appearance. Very respectfully, Huntington Beach Post No. 7368 Veterans of Foreign Wars of USA M.

HAGLER MECHANICAL ENGINEER 905 TWELFTH STREET - HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA LE%INGTON 6-2011 November 19,1967 City of Huntington Beach _ City Council E mzos, Memorial Hall 5th & Pecan Streets By Huntington Beach, Calif. Gentlemen of the City Council: On a recent trip to Costa Mesa to obtain a Code Book required in my work, I was very much impressed by the beautiful new City Government Complex. -For some reason or other, this directed my thoughts to a question that I would like to pose. Has any thought been given to aquiring the necessary property on the south side of llth street, opposite Lake Park and/or Farquhar Plaza, as a site for the new Huntington Reach City Government Complex ? This suggestion has been prompted by the reasoning that it would provide the necessary justification for salvaging Lake Park. When we built our new home on the north—east corner of 12th & Main streets just over six years ago, the Park was really a sight to behold. We felt very fortunate in being able to purchase this property and we retained the services of one of the finest residential Architects in the area to design our home so that it would be architecturally consistent with this beautiful surrounding. For two or three years thereafter the Park'was maintained very adequately with sufficient personnel and we often remarked at the large number of strollers admiring its beauty. Not so anymore. In the past couple of years I have never seen the equal to the amount of depreciation taking place. (I understand that they now have but one man, with-the exception of the power mowers, to maintain these three enormous i areas). Anyone wishing to verify the above statement need only to drive down main street to the Park pathway between llth & 12th streets, then walk east for approx. 50 to 60 paces. Palm trees are dead and dying for lack of water and proper maintenance. Hibiscus trees were a glorious sight. Not so anymore. Most of them have lost so many limbs by the unrestrained climbing of small children that they are dying. The hedges are now being shot full of holes by the children forcing their way through them, or actually piling them up by the roots. Under these present conditions, I can hardly imagine anyone thinking in terms of residential rehabilitation in this area. It goes without saying that any area that is not going forward, or at least holding its own,' can only decay. Such decay we are now witnessing. It is a very common sight in the sumner and on week-ends, to see a station wagon loaded with children drive up to the Park and unload (not at the playground area but at the point that was formerly the ornamental fountAin. They seem to enjoy tearing this area apart including all the shrubs and planting). The driver will then dis- appear for the rest of the day and all bedlam breaks loose. As a taxpayer, I would like to ask this question. When there is a proposal for hundreds of thousands of dollars to be spent for "Parker' do we really mean Parks or Playgrounds ? Are we spending all this money for expensive planting only to have it torn up by the roots such as is happening in "established" Lake Park. Is there no way of segregating or defining these Playground areas from the Park areas. Also, are we spending this money to get the projects under way in a fine manner then calk away from them with totally inadequate mainten- ance personnel, Lake Park is now becoming a shining example of loss in this manner. Thank you gentlemen for your kind attention. Very truly yours, G/Zce- A.M. (Beg) Hagler Audra J. Hagler INGTpy� ,MOOR PONATFO FA , -- City of Huntington Beach K. DALE BUSH cz CITY ATTORNEY PAUL C.

CITY CLERS The Recreation and Parks Commission has unanimously accepted the architectural interviewing committees ( Mashburn, Faber, Wyatt, Castle and Worthy ) recommendation that the firm Tom and Truskier, 1665 W. Katella Street, Anaheim, be hired to design and supervise the construction of a new clubhouse for Lake Park. Two additional firms were interviewed, Mr. Will Jordan 8 Associates, Costa Mesa, and Mr. Dean Price and Associates, San Jose. The question of Mr. Tom's eligibility arose as he is a member of the H. B. Planning- Commission. An opinion from the city attor- ney was requested and will accompany this letter. In brief, he would be considered eligible if he abstains from any action, as a planning commissioner, on this particular project. In discussing this project with Mr. Tom, to complete all of the working drawings and specifications prior to July 1, we would be committed to approximately $1,600.00 or 75% of his 7% fee. We would recommend the project be initiated around June 1, hence only a small 1�100.00 retainer would be required from this budget with the remainder of the appropriation approved for 1967-68.
