MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
CYPRESS CITY COUNCIL
HELD
November 26, 2001
A regular meeting of the Cypress City Council was called to order at 5:35 p.m. by Mayor
McGill in the Executive Board Room, 5275 Orange Avenue, Cypress, California.
PRESENT:
Council Members Keenan, McCoy (arrived at 5:38 p.m.), Piercy,
Mayor Pro Tem Sondhi, Mayor McGill
ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: City Manager, City Attorney, Director of Finance and
Administrative Services, Community Development Director, Chief of Police, Public
Works Director, Recreation and Community Services Director, Assistant to the City
Manager, and City Clerk.
The City Manager stated that approximately seven months prior, the Boys and Girls
Club had presented the Council with a concept for expansion of the facility. At that
time, Council requested staff to work with the Boys and Girls Club on a list of concerns
and questions they had.
The Assistant to the City Manager stated the Boys and Girls Club has been operating
out of a City-owned building that was originally built in 1964. The building is 6,000
square feet with the park being 2.54 acres. The operation is based on a $1 per year
lease, with the lease expiring January 2007.
She stated the proposal from the Boys and Girls Club is for a gymnasium. The City
does not currently own a gymnasium and must rely on using gymnasiums at the
schools.
The Assistant to the City Manager stated that staff has received emails from six
residents with concerns and issues which were provided to the Council.
Mick Hanson, President of the Boys and Girls Club, stated they would like to move
forward with the project for the children and the community. The Club has outgrown the
currently facility and there are no other alternatives.
Jim Miley, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club, stated the two major issues
pushing this idea forward is the immense growth of the club since 1997 and the current
facility, which was originally a library, is not conducive to some of the new programs that
have been implemented in the last three years. They would like to take down the old
facility and build a new one, which includes a gymnasium, a teen center, and parking on
Moody and Myra at an estimated cost of $2.7 million.
Mr. Miley presented a site plan, which he stated is different from the one originally
presented to Council. The scale of the project has been reduced by approximately
2,000 square feet and has been kept as far from the surrounding homes as possible.
He stated the two most significant issues were parking and traffic, and the loss of park
space. To address the parking, the number of spaces was increased from 42 to 67
spaces and the total square footage decreased from 22,840 to 20,924.
Mr. Miley stated the cost to the City is $600,000 with the remaining funds for the project
coming from fundraising campaigns. Fundraising will be held over the next year with
collection of pledges over a five-year period.
CiTY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 26, 2001
The Recreation and Community Services Director stated the Boys and Girls Club is
requesting $600,000 to be paid over a five year period, with years one through four at
$125,000 increments and year five at $100,000. The actual release of City funds would
be predicated on the Boys and Girls Club reaching their targeted funding thresholds. A
possible funding source for a portion of the request could be the Proposition 12 State
Grant Funds, which total $587,800.
Council Member Keenan asked what other projects were initially earmarked for
Proposition 12 funds.
The Assistant to the City Manager stated the Cypress College tennis courts, playground
replacement, facility upgrades and renovations, and Senior Center programming.
Mayor Pro Tern Sondhi asked if there would be a substantial increase in hours of usage
for the City.
The Assistant to the City Manager stated the City would be able to use the facility
during non-club use time and holidays, and would be able to schedule activities that
require a gym during these times. She stated that on weekdays an additional 20-25
hours would be available.
Mayor Pro Tem Sondhi asked what would happen if the Boys and Girls Club did not
meet their targeted threshold funding in any given year.
The Assistant to the City Manager stated the agreement would have default terms
should this occur.
The Mayor asked about addressing the issues brought forward by residents.
The Assistant to the City Manager stated the Boys and Girls Club has addressed the
parking issue by adding additional spaces, and any traffic concerns could be brought to
the Traffic Commission for review.
The City Manager suggested holding several neighborhood meetings to find out all of
the issues and bring that information back to the City Council.
At 6:25 p.m., the Mayor recessed the meeting.
