experts in the community who emphasized that Orange County cannot continue to grow if the

governmental service and as such is a natural element to receive a subsidy, and
transportation is an infrastructure~ not a superstructure, and should be used in ]and use
planning. He stated the community's lifestyle goals should be determined and transportation

PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ~81-34 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP
4~11699~ RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM TOWNHOMES~ 5562-82 ORANGE AVENUE~
CYPRESS: Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing. Mr. Lamm summarized a report dated
December 3 describing the proposal to construct 18 condominium townhomes on two parcels
of land located at 5562-82 Orange Avenue in the PM-Z0/A Residential Multiple-Family
Zone. In conjunction with the use permit, Tentative Tract #]1699, a ! 9-lot subdivision map,
was also submitted. The new construction would replace three older residences and
accessory garages. Staff's only concern with the project was due to the fact that three
bedrooms were proposed in all of the units. Since the applicant and staff anticipated four
persons per household, staff felt there may be a guest parking problem since the proposed
guest spaces were at a minimum and on-street parking is prohibited on Orange Avenue in
front of the project.
Mayor Mullen asked if the applicant wished to speak.
Mr. Doug Danielson, architect for the developer, ~?0 Newport Center Drive, ~2Z, Newport
Beach, stated the developer's only concern was with Condition #] which limits the number of
three-bedroom units to nine. He reported that 2I units were originally proposed, and the
compromise of ]8 units has enhanced the project. Mr. Danielson stated the townhomes will
be marketed as two-bedroom traits with an open loft area/den that can be convertible to a
third bedroom. The applicant presented copies of the floor plan to the Council and displayed
a colored rendering of the project. In response to Councilman Lacayo's concerns over parking
availability, Mr. Danielson felt the size and configuration of the units would appeal to adults
with no families or with very small children, thereby reducing the parking demand. He stated
the development will be governed by C, C & Rs and the tenants will be able to deal with any
problems which may arise. Mr. Dante]son stated the townhomes will be marketed as two and
three-bedroom units. He stated the developer's objection to Condition ~1 is that it would
require a redesign of the project. The developer would prefer to build all units alike an~ give
the purchaser the option of two or three bedrooms. Mr. Danielson stated the developer did
not want to be accused of misrepresenting the project.

Councilman Lacayo stated that staff was not requesting a reduction in the unit size or
redesign of the project but that the developer change his marketing approach and advertise
the townhomes as two-bedroom units with a den. Mr. Danielson conferred with the
applicants and stated this compromise would be acceptable to the applicants. Mr. Bruce
Stanford, civil engineer for the applicants, requested a clarification of Conditions ~4 and ] 0
and staff responded to his concerns.

No one wished to speak in support or in opposition.

Councilman Rowan stated he did not agree with the restrictions on the project since the
developer had met and, in some cases, exceeded the minimum zoning requirements.
Councilman Coronado stated he did not support the motion since tbe loft area/den can easily
be converted to a third bedroom and he felt the parking problem would remain. He felt the
high cost of the townhomes would cause the owners to maximize the use of the rooms as
three bedrooms. Councilman Laca¥o stated the intent of the motion was to bare the
developer change the marketing approach by advertising two bedrooms with a den in order to
reduce the number of occupants per unit. Councilman Partin asked if the condition requiring
underground utilities included provision for cable television. Mr. Danielson stated the
applicant would have no problem in installing a PVC pipe conduit at this time and would not
object to such a condition.
Councilmembers Lacayo and Mullen amended the motion to include Condition #21 to state
that the developer shall provide a conduit from the street to each unit to accommodate cable
television.

Mr. Milton Yates, 6179 Ball Road, Cypress, attorney representing the applicant, stated the
applicant would like Condition 45 deleted which prohibits video amusement games. He
stated most convenience and liquor stores have video games and this restriction would place
the applicant at a disadvantage with nearby businesses. Mr. Yates stated the games
contribute to a business's profit, and the applicant was requesting approval of three game
machines. Staff indicated that the previous liquor store was granted approval for four video
ga m es.
Mayor Mullen asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the application.
Mr. Curt Bruegman, a tenant in the center, stated he favors the proposed business and felt it
would attract more traffic to the center and help other businesses.
Mr. Jerry Reynolds, 2507 Lighthouse Lane, Corona del Mar, owner of two restaurant
businesses in the center and former owner of the center, stated he did not fee] a liquor
store/delicatessen would be detrimental to the center. Mr. Reynolds stated the former Pop
'N Pantry liquor store had poor management and control and the new manager's method of
operation will be an improvement. He stated the store never posed a threat to the center,
but there were vandalism problems associated with the hobby shop in the center.
Mayor Mullah asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition. No one wished to speak.
The Council held discussion regarding Condition 45 which would prohibit video games and
Councilman Lacayo recommended that the condition be imposed until the City's amusement
arcade ordinance becomes effective, at which time businesses may apply under the new
ordinance. Mr. Milton Yates requested temporary approval for three video games and stated
the owner will comply with the new ordinance upon its adoption. Mayor Mullen suggested
that the business he allowed two video games, contingent upon the applicant's compliance
with the new ordinance.

from Ralph B. Clark, Chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, Regarding an
Orange County Committee to Study Cable Television Interconnect System, Councilman
Coronado felt the City should witkhold support of or making any commitment to the
interconnect cable TV system since the Council has not yet determined its position with
regard to providing cable television service for the City of Cypress. The City Manager
reported that that was the intent of staff's recommendation.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Mayor Mullen to authorize the City
Manager's office to notify the Orange County Board of Supervisors of the current status of
the cable television service in the City of Cypress and indicate an interest in the

In regard to Item ~15, Consideration of Purchase for Replacement of Microwave Oven for
the Police Department, Councilman Coronado questioned the difference in purchase price for
the Police Department's microwave oven and two which were included on the Recreation
District's warrant list. The staff reported that the $300 appropriation request for the Police
oven would adequately cover the purchase and staff would attempt to obtain the oven at a
lesser price. In the case of the Recreation District microwave ovens, the warrant list
expenditures of $344 for each of two ovens that were stolen represented a reimbursement to
the Whirlpool Company who loaned the ovens for Recreation classes.
It was moved by Councilman Coronado and seconded by Mayor Mullen to authorize an
appropriation of $300 from the City's General Fund for the l~urchase of a microwave oven for
the Police Department. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

reported that staff would communicate the Council's support of the District's position to the
State Allocation Board and transmit a copy of this letter to the School District, indicating to
them that the Council is concerned with the on-going maintenance of the Oxford facility and
would greatly appreciate receiving any available reserve funds if there is a maintenance
problem at Oxford.

CONSIDERATION OF ADVISORY VOTES AT THE SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION HELD
ON NOVEMBER 3~ 1981: The City Manager transmitted a report dated December 9 which
outlined the vote results on the City advisory measures at the November 3 election.
Councilman Lacayo suggested that the Council consider the cable television issue after it has
received staff's report. He suggested that a full report might be made at that time informing
the residents of the advantages and disadvantages of cable TV.
The Council agreed to defer consideration of cable television until after staff presents its
report. The Mayor noted that the voters at the November election did not support the
propositions relating to conducting special City elections by mai].
CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE IN ELECTION DATE FOE THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL
ELECTION SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 13, 1982: The City Manager presented areport dated
December 9 which transmitted a copy of S.B. 230, a new law allowing general law cities the
flexibility of consolidating their general municipal elections with the State primary (June of
even numbered years), the State general election (November of even numbered years), or the
uniform district election (November of odd numbered years). Staff indicated the Citv of
Cypress could consolidate its general municipal elections by adopting an ordinance to amend
the City Code. The Council held discussion with regard to changing the election date.
Councilman Coronado reported that the City of La Palma had considered changing their April
election to June but had decided against it. They had determined the change would involve
an immediate $1500 expenditure. Councilman Coronado stated the June primary ballot
contains many measures which can be confusing to the voter, and he did not support a
change. Mayor Mul]en stated he did not feel this was the time to make a change in the
election date but suggested that the City of Cypress could evaluate other cities' experience
and, if it is favorable, make a change sometime in the future. Councilman Lacayo read the
advantages and disadvantages as listed in the League's summary and expressed support for
the advantages of a change. He felt the only significant disadvantage is that a consolidated
election would create a longer ballot. He felt the greatest advantage in consolidating the
election would he an increased voter turn-out. Councilman Rowan stated he did not favor a
change in the election date. He reported that while he was campaigning in one City election
which was consolidated with a School Board election, he was criticized on School Board issues
which had no relation to City election issues. Councilman t~owan felt consolidated elections
can create problems because residents may be unfamiliar with the local issues and the local
issues may be bypassed because of other referendums on the ballot. He also stated the days
are short in November which makes it an inconvenient time for candidates to walk the
streets campaigning during the evening. Mayor Mullen noted that the City experienced
problems in the November 3 consolidated election. Councilman Partin stated he favored the
April election date.
It was moved bv Councilman Rowan~ seconded by Councilman Coronado and unanimously
carried to receive and file the report on this matter.
CONSIDERATION OF SELF-FUNDED MEDICAL/DENTAL Pt~OGRAM FEASIBILITY
STUDY: The City Manager summarized a report dated December 8 which described the
results of staff's feasibility study of a self-funded medical and dental insurance program and
staff's proposal for a self-funded program. The self-funded program would duplicate the
existing insurance benefits and retain the existing employee insurance rates to December
1982 at a cost savings to the City.

SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE PROHIBITING GLASS CONTAINERS IN PARKS: The
City Manager reported that he received a call from Mr. Sam Bowman of the Glass Packaging
Institute who wished to speak on this matter.
Mr. Sam Bowman, 13771 Gimbert Lane, Santa Aha, stated his concern as a representative of
the trade association which manufactures glass bottles is with the dark imaffe the ordinance
would cast on an old and respectable industry. He reported that there are eight glass plants
in Southern California employing 5,000 workers and they all share his concern. Mr. Bowman
stated the majority of users of glass products should not be penalized because of the smaller
percentage who litter and misuse glass products. As an alternative so]ution~ Mr. Bowman
suggested signing, public education and encouraffement of persons to use good outdoor
manners and recycle glass products. Mr. Bowman suffgested that the recycling of glass may
be a source of revenue to the City. He stated the Industry Environmental Council, a
coalition of glass industries, packers and distributors, was offering its cooperation to the City
to resolve this problem. Mr. Bowman provided the Council with a list of recycling centers in
Orange County. He stated he supported the anti-lit:ar provisions of the ordinance.
The Councilmembers explained their intent in proposing the ordinance, indicating that it was
an attempt to control a safety problem in City parks by protecting park users from injuries
due to ~lass which is broken or left behind by misusers. The Council indicated that enabling
legislation was needed in order for the Police to stop offenders. They stated the ordinance
was not intended to penalize innocent park users such as family picnickers.
Mr. Joe Sheets, 480Z Merten, Cypress, reported that he recently visited five cities back East
and three of them prohibited cans because of the litter problem and allowed only deposit
bottles.
Councilman Partin stated that the glass breakage problem in parks occurs primarily after
dark and he questioned whether the ordinance would cure the problem. He felt the total
prohibition was somewhat severe and stated he supported a ban on abandoning or breaking
glass. Mayor Mullen stated he supported the ordinance since he felt it would reduce the
amount of glass in parks and mitigate the problem.
It was moved by Councilman Rowan and seconded by Mayor Mullen to order the following
Ordinance read by title only, title as follows, and to adopt the Ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO. 4
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS,

In regard to Item ~41 added to the agenda concerning the Cypress Civic Center Corporation,
Councilman Coronado discussed his concerns that there was misunderstanding on the part of
the Corporation Board members regarding their function and authority, and that the City was
not taking advantage of the highest interest rates available for investing the Corporation's
reserve funds. He expressed concern that a portion of the reserve funds were invested in
1980 for a five year term at 10 3/8~/~ interest. Councilman Coronado recommended that this
matter be reviewed by the Council at a joint meeting with the Civic Center Corporation.
The City Attorney described the function of the Civic Center Corporation, explaining that it
is a non-profit corporation which was formed at the City's request to assist in financing the
construction of the Civic Center complex. He stated the corporation, which sold bonds on
behalf of the City to build the Civic Center, is a commonly used financing device and utilizes
a bank as trustee to administer the Corporation funds, lie reported that the bank has the
responsibility for selecting investments for the benefit of the bondholders, subject to certain
restrictions. Mr. Murphy stated concerns regardin~ the investment policies should be
directed to the bank. lie reported the Bank of America has expressed its willingness to
accept direction from the City and Corporation on its investment of Civic Center
Corporation funds and several years ago the Bank made a change on the investments at the
request of the City and Corporation representatives.
Councilman Lacayo asked that Mr. Murphy clarify the charge that a gift of public funds was
made. Mr. Murphy indicated that there could not be a literal gift of public funds since the
Corporation is merely a financing vehicle and its funds are held in trust for the City. lie
indicated that Councilman Coronado's concern is probably whether the bank is pursuing an
investment program that provides the Corporation/City with a satisfactory return.
Councilman Coronado stated he felt the City had lost money on the investment because the
investment account had not been dynamically pursued. He questioned who had authority over
the investments and felt that the Corporation members bad not been allowed to pursue their
authority. The City Attorney indicated that the role and authority of the Corporation are
spelled out in City resolutions, and concerns about the investments should be brought to the
attention of the Bank. Mayor Mu]Ion stated staff's explanation showed there was no gift of
public funds involved and that Councilman Coronado's concern was a disagreement with the
Corporation's investment program. The Mayor stated that the Corporation members are
excellent citizens and contributors to the community an~ their integrity should not he
attacked. Councilman Coronado stated he was not attacking the Corporation members and
his concern was that they had not been allowed to pursue their authority. Mayor Mullen ruled
Councilman Coronado's remarks out of order. Councilman Coronado stated his words were
being twisted, that he had never accused the Corporation members, that they were honest
people, and that there were persons on the sidelines telling them how to run the
Corporation. Mayor Mullen asked that the record indicate that Councilman Coronado's
conversation was contrary to the direct orders of the Chair and were statements made out of
order. Councilman Coronado asked for the floor, but was declared out of order by the
Mayor. Mayor Mullen stated he would maintain order at the meeting and that if anyone was
out of order he would be removed from the Chambers. Councilman Coronado made other
comments, and the Mayor asked that he be removed by the Police Chief. Mayor Mullen then
asked the City Attorney for a ruling on his order, and the City Attorney requested a recess.
RECESS: Mayor Mullen called a recess at 9:S0 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at
9:55 p.m. with ali Councilmembers present.
