Commissioner Gunaratne
Aisc present were City Manager, Public Works Director, Police Lieutenant, and Deputy
City Clerk.
The Public Works Director stated the Traffic Commission has spent a lot of time on the
issue of oversized vehicles and the creation of an ordinance and procedures. The
concern at this time is the Police Department's ability to deal with permit enforcement
and revocation of permits from abusers.
The Police Lieutenant stated the Police Department is looking into modifying their
procedure for the number of permits issued to help with the abuse issue. The way the
ordinance is currently worded, there isn't a way to revoke or deny the permits. He
stated a flyer and informational brochure about the oversized parking policies has been
prepared that will be made available at the Police Department front desk when permits
are issued.
Mayor Pro Tern Sondhi asked if the City has a tracking mechanism to know who has a
boat or recreational vehicle in the City.
The Police Lieutenant stated there isn't any licensing necessary in the City, however,
the owners of oversized vehicles who have received permits are kept in a database.
The Public Works Director stated the Council previously received information about the
Denni Street extension at a workshop session. He stated the section of unimproved
land that would be needed for the extension is in the City of Cypress and would affect
the golf course and race track. Continuing discussions with the City Engineer of Los
Alamitos indicate they are planning on moving forward with the project with or without
the City of Cypress.
ADJOURNMENT: Mayor Pro Tern Sondhi adjourned the meeting at 7:05 p.m., to
Monday, June 25, 2001, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Executive Board Room, 5275
