CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
JUNE 24, 2002
The City Attorney reported that the City Council met in a Joint Closed Session with the
Redevelopment Agency regarding Conference with Legal Counsel - Existing Litigation,
pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(a), Cottonwood Christian Center v.
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Cypress, Case Number SA02-60, United States
District Court - Central District of California, Case Number 02CC01575, Orange County
Superior Court - Central Justice Center (removed to Federal Court), Case Number
SA02-149, United States District Court - Central District of California. The City learned
through the media that lawyers for Cottonwood Christian Center filed documents with
the Federal District Court seeking a preliminary injunction. This action came as a
surprise since negotiations had been reestablished regarding possible relocation of the
proposed Cottonwood Christian Center to other property within the redevelopment
project area. Assurances had been given to Cottonwood's legal counsel and the City
had received assurances from Cottonwood that while these negotiations were pending,
neither the City nor the Agency would seek immediate prejudgment possession of
Cottonwood's property. The papers that were filed in Federal District Court were filed
without notice to legal counsel and exceed the legal number of pages allowed to be
filed in court without permission. A hearing date has been attempted to be set for July
15, 2002. The City and Agency will vigorously oppose this abusive and unfair conduct.
Legal counsel remains comfortable and confident in the City and Agency's legal
position.
The City Attorney stated the Redevelopment Agency met in Closed Session regarding
Conference with Real Property Negotiators, pursuant to Government Code Section
54956.8, Real Property Identified by APN Numbers 241-091-19, 241-091-20, 241-091-
21, 241-091-22, 241-091-23, 241~091-24, 241-091-25, 241-091-26, 241-091-27, 241-
091-28, 241-091-29, 241-091-30, 241-091-33, 241-091-34, 241-091-36, 241-231-24,
241-231-25, 241-231-26, and 241-231-28; Consisting of approximately 75 Acres at
Northwest corner of Katella Avenue and Walker Street within the Los Alamitos Race
Track and Golf Course Redevelopment Project Area, Negotiating Party: Executive
Director, Deputy Executive Director, and Agency Counsel, Under negotiation: Price and
Terms of Payment. Notwithstanding the action taken today by Cottonwood Christian
Center, a meeting is scheduled with Cottonwood Christian Center for June 25, 2002,
and staff intends to pursue in good faith to attempt to negotiate a compromise that
would involve appropriate tri-party negotiations.
Mayor/Agency Chair Sondhi did not participate in either Closed Session item due to her
