PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmembers Evans, Hudson, Lacayo, MacLain & Rowan None Also present were Darrell Essex, City Manager/City Clerk, John Murphy, City Attorney, and the following City staff members: Dalesandro, Duke, Lamm, Powell, Schatze~Jer and Thomas. PI. EDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Mr. James Duncan led the pledge to the flag. ORAL COmmUNICATIONS: The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak in regard to any matter not on the agenda. No one in the audience wished to speak. Councilman Lacayo distributed copies of a press release to the Council members and read the following statement which he requested be included in the record: "A recent article by a Register newspaper reporter regarding a Medi-Cal investi- gation that is being conducted by the State Attorney General has involved my name extensively. About two years ago, I was employed by the firm in question. I worked for them for about five months and resigned. Since my resignation, I have not been involved with the firm or its associates and I never had any sto~:k ownership in the company. The newspaper article is clever with words, beginning with a very sore issue of Medi-Cal abuse and meandering throt~gh hiIl and dale memtioning, bnt not involving, a U.S. Senator, the Governor, State Senators, Assemblymen, an L.A. Supervisor, my divorce in 1970, and even my brot~er who ]eft California over five years ago. An objective review of the newspaper article reveals that the reporter has not accused me of any wrongdoing, but t?~e article as a whole sounds like political rhetoric aimed at involving innocent parties in a current investigation. This type of journalism, which by innuendo affects my reputation as well as a number of other individuals, ia a form of capitalizing news at the expense of public officials and is not responsJ[~le journalism. I have been a tough city councilman in protecting the taxpayers' dollars and their rights for over nine years. I want my friends and constituents to know that my character has been unjustlv attacked by this oews- paper article, and I am not involved in any kind of Medi-Cal abuse. I can only say one tl~ing to this reporter: you have wasted a lot of news copy by writing about me instead of informing the public about Medi-Cal abuse." Councilman Lacayo ex,'used himself from the meeting due to illness. (]OirNC[LMAN LACAYO LEFT THE MEETING AT 6:38 P.M. P_RESE~N~JTJ~)~: Mayor Rowan presented a five year service pin to Police Chief Orbrev I)uke and a ten year service pin to Office Engineer Frank Dalesandro in recognition of their service with the City.

Mrs. Vogel stated the alley is a raceway and the noise of cars is magnified. She asked that traffic in tbe alley be restricted. The Planning Director reported that tbe owner of Cinnamon Square shopping center bad offered to accommodate overflow parking from the Skateway on his property.

Mr. Kennedy felt tb~ betwees 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. would not help much and he suggested tha~ Albertson's receive d~liveries at the front of the store. He felt more cooperation from ~rs. Sylvia (;under,eh, 5854 Ho]mby Court, stated she supported th~, o~d[n:~l~ce. She sug,,;estu, d that trucks be rerouted to make deliveries by entering th~, prot)ert\, from Bail Road, instead of having them enter off of Valley View and driw~ down the ~]]~y behind the stores. Mayor Rowan asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition. }Ir. Aii~q~ Todd, manager of the Albertson's market, reported that th~'v decrrased the numhcr of produce de]Jveries and restricted deliveries of dairy produc~a ~o between 4 and 5 a.~r~, and frozen foods to between 2 and 3 a.m. lie stated that early d~[iver[ea of perishable items are necessary to ensure proper operation of the 24-}~our store and that changing deliveries to later woold cause delays in stocking the store and inconvenien~e to shoppers. He stated they have ~lot attempt~,d to rer~ute trucks coming ~n off Valley View but they bare r~dnced d~l- ivcries between ]0 p.m. and 6 a.m. to five or six. Mr. Todd reported h~ r~q~ested trucks not to break do~ at the rear of the property about three weeks ago and also ce, tatted the frozen foods, milk and their warehouse deliverers about the use of ~lir horns. He indicated that some deliveries, like milk, cannot bc made to the Front door.

Councilwoman Evans recom- mended ~h~t tbe restriction period be extended from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., rather than 6 a.m. She expressed support for the ordinance and asked how it would be enforced. The City Attorney indicated that the Police Department could proceed on the basis of a signed complaint and the violation of the code, a misdemeanor, could b~ punishable by a fine, jail term or both. City Council Minutes November 13, 1979 405 The Planning Director reported that in staff's survey they found other sh0~ping centers llke Albertson's were able to schedule frozen food and dairy deliveries at more convenient hours: Alpha Beta received frozen foods between ~ and 5 p.m. and dairy products at 10 a.m. Mr. Todd indicated that stores doing a large volume of business, like Albertson's, are able to receive early service which is bene- ficial to their operation. Mr. Robert Eames, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, requested that the hearing be continned so that they could receive input from businesses and developers who could be affected by the proposed ordinance amendment. He stated they intended to hold a meeting of all concerned part~es. >Ir. Don Kennedy, 5843 Holmby, questioned the need to continue the hearing.

The report transmitted the only response received from the Cypress Police Explorers. Mr. Dean Speed, 10012 St. Michael Circle, Cypress, representing American Legion Post 295, reported the resolution was discussed at their November 6 meeting and the Legion's only suggestion was that the sale period be extended to 48 hours, rather than 24 hours. He indicated that their days of greatest sales were July 3 and 4. Mr. Jim Dean, 9835 Joel Circle, Cypress, Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 670, reported that fireworks sales are their only revenue raiser during the year and a 48 hour restriction would hurt their sales. He stated the revenue is used to send boys to camp and was used to construct their building.

The Council held discussion regarding the proposed restriction and general problem of fire damage due to fireworks. Councilman Hudson indicated he would favor a total ban and placing the matter for a vote of the people.

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF AN A2~ENDED ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR AN AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP AND REHABILITATION PROGRAM: The City Manager presented a report dated November 8 which transmitted a letter from the City Attorney and an amended ordinance relating to the program. The City Attorney reported that the amended ordinance broadened the rehabilitation aspects by allowing a wider range of home improvement projects which are eligible for financing. 7he City Attorney provided an update of the City's program. He reported that 20% of the mortgage loan pool would be reserved for one year for home rehabilitation and if the money is not used during that year it would be released for home acquisition. He indicated that the 20% limit was due to the -7- rating agency's concern with security for rehabilitation loans. Mayor Rowan ~-40 inquired about the policy pertaining to reassessment of dwellings when improved and whether the improvements would generate a reassessment of the property and thereby increase property taxes. Staff indicated they would research and report back on this matter. Councilman Hudson expressed concern as to the practicality of having any of the mortgage pool funds available for rehabilitation projects since the mortgage on such projects would have to include the refinancing of the existing debt on the home which may be at an interest rate substantially below the 10% currently estimated for the City's program. He asked that the real estate market analysis firm evaluate this potential problem area. It was moved by Councilman Hudson and seconded by Councilwoman MacLain to reintro- duce the amended Ordinance by title only, title as follows, and to approve the first reading: ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS PROVIDING FOR AN AFFORDABLE HO~ OWNERSHIP AND REHABILITATION PROGRAM AND FOR THE ISSUANCE OF RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS IN ~CONNECTION WITH SAID PROGRAM.
