Mr. Huffaker advised the County Board of Supervisors has adopted this program by their Ordinance No. 1964, in November of 1974, and also ten incorporated municipalities in San Bernardino County. Mr. Huffaker said that our Chamber of Commerce endorses this program, which is self support- ing and is no burden to the taxpayer, as the participants pay all costs. Mr. Huffaker advised that an Ordinance has been prepared for Council's consideration and adoption, approving the F.I.R.S.T. Program.

CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Weed Abatement Assistant City Attorney Edwards read a memorandum dated September 81 1975, from City Attorney Hutton, in answer to Councilman Gonzales' memorandum dated August 19, 1975, regarding weed abatement. City Attorney Hutton's memo suggested that although Councilman Gonzales' recommendations had merit - in particular that of providing an additional special ten days written notice to property owners when it is obvious charges will increase substantially from one year to the next just before work is to be done - the City Attorney felt the present procedure that the City follows for Weed and Rubbish Abatement, as set forth in Section 39501 of the Government Code, is the better one. Mr. Hutton advised that any change at this point, by the City, should be made after very careful consideration. Discussion followed among Council members with regard to the existing methods being followed for week abatement, and the possibility of changing these procedures somewhat to arrive at a more efficient and reliable weed abatement program, that would be beneficial to both the City and the property owners. Council consensus was that the procedures as recommended by Councilman Gonzales were favorable and could be put into effect for the City's weed abatement program. SEP 1 A 1975
