Councilman Kanel suggested that the Arlan property owner be contacted to determine if his property could be used for the May Festival.

Mr. Ulmer made a rebuttal to the February 4 letter from the management and presented photographs illustrating problems which were reported to the Council previously. He requested, since the management had not taken satisfactory action to abate the health and safety problems, that the staff meet with the management. If there is non-compliance he suggested that public hearings be held to consider revocation of the conditional use permit and he suggested that the City Attorney study the legality of rent control for mobile home parks. The Council asked that Mr. Ulmer submit in writing his remarks in response to the February 4 letter from the management. It was moved by Councilman Kanel, seconded by Councilman Lacayo and unanimously carried to direct the City Attorney to review the present City ordinances with respect to mobile home parks and draft a model ordinance regarding mobile home park control, including rent control, and present a report at the next meeting.

He asked why the Council opposed the Chino Hills airport and if the Council was just giving blanket approval to another SCAG recommendation. The City Council advised Mr. Hardcastle that their recommenda- tion was a reaffirmation of their pa~t opposition which was based on extensive studies of the proposal which included presentations before the Orange County League of California cities. The City Manager reported that the Council held a special meeting to hear arguments of both the proponents and cities opposing the Chino Hills Airport.

Councilman Lacayo reported that funding was withdrawn for a Los Angeles/Orange County freeway and his concern related to traffic flow to and from the Chino Hills Airport. He felt that because the County is growing so rapidly cities should consider the county-wide problems which will develop. Councilman Kanel suggested that the Cypress Citizens Associa- tion may wish to study the proposal to expand Ontario Inter- national Airport and designate it as the airport for meeting County aviation needs. It was moved by Councilwoman Sonju, seconded by Councilman Kanel and unanimously carried to authorize the City Manager to notify the Southern California Association of Governments and Councilman Henry W. Wedaa, Orange County Delegate to the SCAG Executive Committee, of the City Council's Opposition to the proposed Chino Hills Airport and its opposition to the expenditure of Federal funds for the Inter-County Airport Authority. In regard to Item #10, Continuation of Consideration of a Resolution from the City of Garden Grove Recommending that SCAG Refrain from Competing for State and Federal Grants, the City Manager summarized a report dated February 17 which indicated Garden Grove was concerned over SCAG competing with member agencies for state and federal funds. He reported that SCAG is not directly competing with other local or member agencies in three grant areas and that no city or county agency is eligible to apply for these funds. Councilwoman Sonju requested further information on the reasons for Garden Grove's recommendation. It was moved by Councilwoman Sonju, seconded by Mayor Frank- iewich and unanimously carried to continue this item and request further information regarding the recommendation of the City of Garden Grove that SCAG refrain from competing for state and federal grants. Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, indicated he opposed SCAG taking federal funds which reduces the amount of funds available to cities for projects and he felt there were too many studies being undertaken with such funds° Councilwoman Sonju also requested a report outlining the growth of SCAG (in staffing and facilities) since its organi- zation, compared to population growth in the area.

It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilwoman Sonju that the City of Cypress withdraw membership from the ICC and take a position of non-support for the ICC. Councilman Kanel indicated that the ICC is not a duplication of the Orange County League since it has more authority and can enter certain contracts which the League cannot. He felt that as a mini-COG, ICC might receive and bring federal funds directly into the County, by-passing SCAG. Council- woman Sonju went over the list of accomplishments and stated she was not impressed, that she did not feel there was a need for both SCAG and ICC and that she did not support creation of another bureaucracy. Councilmen Sonju and Lacayo ex- pressed non-support of ICC. Councilman Kanel requested that this item be continued. Councilman Lacayo withdrew the motion and Councilwoman Sonju withdrew the second. The Council agreed to continue this item to the March 22 meeting. CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF LEASE BETWEEN THE CITY OF CYPRESS AND THE CYPRESS COUNTY WATER DISTRICT FOR PORTIONS OF FACILITIES AT 9471 WALKER STREET: The City Manager presented a report dated February lq and recommended a $2,000 yearly rental rate for the District's use of the building. It was moved by Councilwoman Sonju and seconded by Mayor Frankiewich to approve a $2,000 yearly rental charge to the Cypress County Water District for use of office facilities at 9471 Walker Street. Councilman Kanel felt the District is a small agency and that the $2,000 rental charge is high. The City Manager suggested that the City investigate offering the District a contract to administer the sewer maintenance program in the County areas which would probably reduce costs of the District. A substitute motion was moved by Councilwoman Sonju, seconded by Councilman Lacayo and unanimously carried to continue consideration of the lease and direct the City Manager to study the possibility of a contract between the City and Cypress County Water District for the City to assume the sewer maintenance program. 10.
