ORAL COMMUNICATIONS A copy of a letter dated FLOMAR KENNELS January 15, 1973, from H. Lawson Mead, of the law firm of Miller, Nisson & Kogler, 2014 North Broadway, representing Mr. and Mrs. James Henry, owners of Flomar Kennels , to Bruce E. Harrington, of the law firm of Kalmback, DeMarco, Knapp & Chillingworth, 550 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, representing the Alison Company, was received and ordered filed on motion of Councilman Herrin, seconded by Councilman Villa, and unanimously carried. The communication was presented to Council by Mr. Mead, and set forth the intentions of both parties to prepare an agreement settling the problems existing as a result of the proximity of the apartments being constructed by the Alison Company to the kennels owned by Mr. and Mrs. Henry. Mr. Mead asked Council to consider an amendment to Section 5-60 of the Municipal Code which would prohibit residents living within 200 feet of a kennel from filing barking dog complaints. The City Attorney stated that he had just received the communication and had not had a chance to read it, but that the matters had been discussed with either himself or members of his staff. Mayor Griset reminded Mr. Mead that the matter had been referred to the City Attorney and expressed concern that Mr. Mead had presented Council with a communication without first going through the City Attorney's office. Mr. Harrington stated that the communication presented by Mr. Mead did accurately reflect their proposed agreement and requested that the City share in the costs incurred in insulating and screening the Flomar Kennels to the extent of one-third of the estimated $5,000.00 cost.
