Public Hearing Regarding AoDroval of City's Workplan Objectives for Fiscal Year 2000-2001. The staff report for this item was presented by June LIu, ASSistant to the City Manager. Ms. Liu reminded the Council that during a workshop with the City's Executive staff held on March 6, 2000, the City's Strategic Plan was brought up-to-date, and new objectives were added to the Workplan for Fiscal Year 2000-2001. If the Council chooses 0484 CITY COUNCIL MEETING ? APRIL 24, 2000 tO approve those objectives, they will, in combination with the city's Capital Improvement Program, constitute the City's Workplan for the coming year. Each identified Strategic Objective ls categorized within one of slx goals identified in 1998 as part of the City's Strategic Plan. Fiscal Year 2000-2001 is the final year of the three-year period in which the goals of the Strategic Plan are to be met. If the Council decides to adopt the proposed Workplan, no commitment of funds is made at this time. Upon adoption of the FisCal Year 2000-2001 Total Operating BUdget, appropriations for the projects will be made. The staff recommendation is that the City Council approve the proposed Strategic Objectives in the development of the City's Annual Workplan for staff to complete in FisCal Year 2000-2001. Following staff's presentation, Mayor Plercy opened the public hearing. NO comments were offered, and the Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilmember Keenan remarked on the past public Input received regarding the proposed WOrk Plan, and commented that it set some ambitious goals. The Community Development Director responded that while some of the goals were ambitious, they were also realistic and would be worked on until completed. In response to a question by Councilmember Sondhi, Mrs. Angus responded that City staff was presently working on a sign ordinance that would regulate slgnage on Lincoln Avenue. Mayor Pro Tern McGill mentioned his pleasure at the efforts expended by City staff in enhancing existing housing stock in the City. A motion was made by Councllmember MCCOy and seconded by Councilmember Sondhi that the City Council approve the proposed Strategic Objectives in the development of the city's Annual Workplan for staff to complete in Fiscal Year 2000-2001. The motion was carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Keenan, McCoy, Sondhi, McGill, Piercy NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNClLMEMBERS: None NEW BUSINESS: 13. Request for Direct Funding by Cypress High School Athletic Boosters for security for the Cinco de Mayo Fundralser. The staff report for this item was presented to the City Council by June Liu, Assistant to the City Manager. Ms. Liu advised the Council that over the past four years, the Cypress High SchOol Athletic Boosters have held a Cinco de Mayo fundraising event, which involves 15 local non-profit groups. A request to waive facility rental fees, provide in-kind services and employee overtime, for a value of $4,400, was approved at the City Council Meeting held on March 13, 2000. On April 11TM, the Boosters submitted another request for direct funding, to cover the cost of services of four security officers obtained for the event. The value for these services is an additional $448.00. Because the Boosters are planning to serve alcoholic beverages at the event, security officers are a requirement under the Community center Facility Use Policy. The BOOSters are claiming that paying for these security services would result in their losing money on the event. In the previous year, police management personnel volunteered their time to provide the security services. AS this would equal an amount in the range of $1,664- $2,240, exclusive of fringe benefits, staff is not recommending the provision of Cypress officers through in-kind services. Because no funds have been budgeted for this purpose, and because the provision of direct funding of securib/services for events at which alcohol is served will set a precedent for similar requests from other non-profit organizations, staff does not recommend direct funding for the request submitted by the Cypress High Athletic Boosters. Councilmember Keenan agreed with the staff recommendation to deny this request, observing that granting it would set an undesirable precedent. He said the only reason security was required was because of the Boosters' decision to serve alcohol at the 6 CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 24, 2000 event. Councilmember Keenan suggested that alternative to the Boosters' being supported by the taxpayers, they (1) have each of the participating groups pay an additional $30.00, which would adequately cover the cost of the security; (2) increase the cover charge from $2.00 to $3.00; (3) have the theater pay one-half of the security cost and the groups the remaining half; or (4) find a sponsor or sponsors to contribute the cost of the security. Following further discussion among the Councilmembers, however, the consensus of the Council was that the benefits to the city engendered by the groups involved far outweigh any negative results from providing this support. A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern McGIII, seconded by Councilmember McCoy, and carried by the following roll call vote that the Clty council approve the direct funding request and authorize the allocation of $448 to the Cypress High Athletic BOOsters from the City's General Fund: AYES: 4 COUNClLMEMBERS: MCCOy, Sondhi, McGilI, Piercy NOES: I COUNClLMEMBER: Keenan ABSENT: 0 COUNClLMEMBERS: None 14. Approval of Commercial Warrant List for warrant Nos. 42619-42866. A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern McGill, seconded by Councilmember MCCOy and carried by the following roll call vote (with Councilmember Keenan abstaining on Warrant Nos. 42894, 43021 and 43029) to approve the City of cypress Commercial Warrant List for Warrant Nos. 42867-43052 In the amount of $1,284,299.49: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Keenan, McCOy, Sondhi, McGilI, Piercv 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None RECREATION & PARK DISTRICT MATTERS: Governing Board of Directors. The Cypress City Council, Acting as the Ex Officio 15. ADDroval Of a Resolution Authorizing the Issuance by the Cypress Recreation and Park District, of a Tax and Revenue Antlclpation Note for an Amount Not tO Exceed $2,000,000. The staff report for this item was presented by Recreation & Parks Director Marvin Decarlo. Mr. DeCarlo advised that the Cypress Recreation and Parks District experiences an operating cash flow deficit each year, until the property taxes are collected in December and April. The deficit is usually covered by delayed billings from the City for maintenance services or use of cash that is designated for other purposes. In preparation for this temporary deficit, staff's recommendation is that the Recreation and Parks District issue a Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note (TRAN) obta(ned through a statewlde pooled TRAN program. It is estimated that the amount of the TRAN will be $1,000,000. Mr. DeCarlo explained that TRANs are short-term obligations issued bV local governments to provide funds in anticipation of temporary cash flow deficits resulting from timing differences between collection of property tax receipts and disbursements. Mr. DeCarlo added that the TRANs program recommended bV staff is offered by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA), which would reduce the costs generated by the District issuing its own TRAN. Some of the benefits of participating in the program offered by the Authority include lower insurance costs and a streamlined Issuance process. If the Council authorizes the Recreation and Parks District tO participate in this program, authorization must be made at the City Council meeting of April 14, as CSCDA has imposed a deadline of April 28, 2000, for submittal of the application.

She said the policy in the past had been not to accept cash donations, and asked if that had been changed. She noted it would be very helpful to her Commission if that were the case. Allan Crowder, Cypress resident, spoke next. Mr. Crowder claimed it would be "common courtesy" for the Council to grant Councllmember MCCOV'S request to defer the public hearing on the Environmental Impact RepOrt for the skate facility until the time he had requested.
