CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION RE: SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT ON PARKING
PROHIBITION ON STREET SWEEPING DAYS: The City Manager presented
a supplemental report from the Public Works Director dated February
8 which was requested at the January 23 meeting. The report des-
cribed seven alternative street sweeping programs and costs.
Councilwoman Evans distributed and read a letter which she reported
she mailed to about 300 residences in Tanglewood which suggested
a different treatment for the Tanglewood area because of its unique
parking problems and reported on her suggestion for alternate day
sweeping of both sides of a street. She reported she received
about 12 telephone responses and the callers inquired why trash
was picked up after the street was swept, and expressed complaints
about alleys not being swept and over illegal parking in the alleys.
She suggested that the staff person checking on the sweeper could
also check for parking violations and she reported she still re-
ceives complaints that the sweeper is too fast.
Councilman Lacayo agreed that condominiums are problem area~ and
he suggested that sweeping on alternate days be started for a two
montb trial period. Councilwoman MacLain objected to spending
time for further staff reports and she felt the problems reported
on were from a small minority of residents.
It was moved by Councilwoman MacLain and seconded by Mayor Hudson
to approve Alternative #3, prohibit parking on all streets in the
City on street sweeping days by posting entrances to tracts only.
Mayor Hudson suggested the inclusion of a permit system in the
program. Councilwoman MacLain felt this would present enforcement
problems for staff in possibly having to check for misuse of garages,
and issuing permits would require further staff time. Councilwoman
Sonju stated she favored the permit system.
The City Manager outlined the costs for each of the alternatives.
Mr. Gerald Muilen, 4190 Elizabeth Court, Cypress, stated that al-
though it is a small minority which is affected the problem is
real for the Tanglewood area and it is being ignored by the Council.
He felt there was little misuse of garages in Tanglewood.
Mrs. Jones, Tanglewood, reported her main concern was the dirty
gutters and alleys and she was not concerned with the method used
to keep the streets clean. She reported she contacted about 30
homeowners in the last two days and all supported sweeping both
sides of the street on alternate days. She supported a permit
system if residents with permits keep their respective areas of
the street clean.
Mr. Don Moonier, Tanglewood, agreed that the
started for a trial period of two months and
10 to 12 and 2 to 4 p.m. could be designated
when there is minimal parking on the street.

man Lacayo reported he received a letter from Mr. John Fesperman
relating to the deteriorating fence along Carob Street.
M~. 3ohn Fesperman, 8194 Carob, requested the Council's assistance
with regard to the fence. He presented photographs showing that
boards are missing which allows access by children to horse riding
areas and rusty farm equipment. He stated the fence has bee~ an
eyesore for about 15 years.
Councilwoman Evans reported she contacted Supervisor Schmit re-
garding this matter and the County was investigating the possi-
bility of constructing a block wall with gates and funding sources.
She stated the problem involved the property owners' access rights
to Carob Street. Councilman Lacayo stated he would suggest to the
Supervisor that the property owners dedicate their property to
allow construction of the wall.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilwoman
Evans to request a staff report for the next meeting and that

In regard to Item #36 concerning a communication from the Chamber
of Commerce Board of Directors relating to cancellation of the
May Festival, Councilwoman Evans stated she did not vote against
the festival and she favored it. She recommended that the Council
go on record in support of the May Festival and begin discussions
with the Chamber on how to reinstate the festival.
It was moved by Councilwoman Evans and seconded by Councilman
Lacayo that the City Council go on record in support of the May
Festiva]. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:

& Sonju
Mr. Darrell Zdarstek, 4125 Ball Road, Cypress, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, indicated the main reason for cancellation
of the festival was the late request by the Council for its re-
location without notification to the Chamber. He stated this is
the first year the carnival has been an issue and he felt the
Chamber should have been advised sooner that the site was not
suitable. He reported they have not made plans for an alter-
nate site, and in the event of rain the carnival would not have
City Council Minutes February 14, 1978
been set up. He indicated that continuity of the parade route
and festival location is important for their success.
Mayor Hudson indicated he supported the festival but felt the
cancellation was an unconstructive action. He asked if the Chamber
considered coordinating the festival with the Orange County Fair.
Mr. Zdarstek reported this was investigated and the Fair suggested
only booth participation by the Chamber. Councilman Lacayo asked
how the Chamber felt about having only small scale kiddie rides and
booths. Mr. Zdarstek reported they depend on other sources for
most of their revenue.
It was moved by Councilwoman MacLain and seconded by Mayor Hudson
that the May Festiva] be reinstated at Oak Knoll Park and continued
as planned.
Mayor Hudson suggested the removal of field #3 as a baseball playing
area. Councilwoman MacLain supported this suggestion. Council
members Sonju and Lacayo felt deletion of the field should be
considered apart from the festival. Councilwoman Sonju suggested
formation of a committee to study a solution for the festival to
include representatives of the Chamber, Council, leagues and Rec-
reation and Park Commission.
A substitute motion was moved by Councilwoman Sonju and seconded
by Councilman Lacayo that a committee be formed with representatives
as recommended by Councilwoman Sonju.
Mr. Robert Larkin, 9346 Gregory, Cypress, stated he felt field #3
cannot accommodate a carnival because of the damage caused by
heavy equipment. He reported there is opposition from the leagues
to the carnival itself because of the character and activities of
the carnival workers who, in the past, slept in the parking lots
and washed and changed clothes in the restroom, and because of the
rigged carnival games. He indicated there was no opposition to the
festival booths and the parade and that he would favor kiddie rides
only.
Councilwomen Evans and Sonju requested a report for the next
meeting from the committee and both agreed to serve on the committee.
Councilwoman Sonju suggested that the chairman and vice chairman
of the Recreation and Park Commission be on the committee as well
as representatives of any community groups which are interested.
The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
