FOR REROOFING AND RETROFITTING OF SMOKE DETECTORS): Mayor Lacayo opened the
Public Hearing. Mr. Schatzeder informed the Council that the two items of

ordinances at the Council's request. He stated that the Council has received

County.
Mr. Bob Mitten, representing the Cedar Shingle and Hand Split Shake Bureau,
addressed the Council requesting that they consider the use of a pressure treated
Classs "C" material for reroofing requirements. Mr. Mitten stated that a phasing
in of the pressure treated Class "C" roof would provide the needed protection
for the City while enabling the residents to afford to reroof with this material.
Mr. Marshall, representing the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, addressed
the Council and explained the different types of roofing materials and described
the testing procedures each of these different materials are given.
Mr. Marshall informed Councilman Coronado that that the Uniform Building Code does
allow certain roofs to have new material laid directly on top of the existing
roof.

Mr. Marshall stated that a heavier material to be used for reroofing would
require engineering calculations to insure the house is strong enough to hold
the additional stress.
Mayor Lacayo recessed the meeting at 8:14 p.m., to enable the Council to review
the roofing material display and question the representatives of the various
organizations. Mayor Lacayo invited the audience to come forth and review
the materials also.
Mayor Lacayo called the meeting back to order at 8:29 p.m.
Mr. Cate, Orange County Fire Marshal, informed the Council that the Orange
County Fire Department is agreeable to accepting a Class "C" material for
reroofing; however, they wish to see the new construction be classed at
type "B". Mr. Cate requested the ordinance specify a "pressure treated"
material and not a coating. Mr. Cate responded to Councilman Mullen's
question that the main cause in fire deaths is smoke inhalation which
is not affected by the type of roof on a structure.
Mayor Lacayo instructed anyone in the audience wishing to address this subject
to step up to the podium.
Mr. Sam Weiman, 9396 Fernbury Street, Cypress, inquired if the cost figures that
were supplied have been verified for accuracy. Mr. Schatzeder stated that
the figures were reviewed and appear to be accurate.
Mr. Marshall informed the Council that these figures were obtained from a study
taken in 1981 and that the study has recently been completed again and the indi-
cation is that the figures have risen approximately 5 to 10 percent.
Mr. Hill Warren, 5275 Vista Real, Cypress, inquired if the shingles have to be
removed to reroof with a pressure treated material.
Mayor Lacayo stated that was correct.
Mr. Schatzeder informed Mr. Warren that the fiberglass shingles could be
installed directly over the existing wooden shingles.
Mr. Bob Mitten, representing the Cedar Shingle Bureau, wished to point out to
the Council that this is a highly competitive business and requested the Council
to keep this in mind when reviewing all the material presented this evening.
The City Attorney informed the Mayor that the ordinance should be revised to
reflect the change in the Uniform Building Code and the Fire Code.
Councilman Mullen stated that he felt the Class "C" material would provide a
reasonable alternative for protection while still affording the residents
freedom of choice.
Councilman Coronado stated that he felt the Council need to give the people the
least expensive way of protection while keeping consistent with the Fire
Marshal's comments.
Councilman Mullen moved that the ordinance be referred to the City Attorney
for rewriting to allow for Class "C" pressure treated wood shingles. The
motion was seconded by Mayor Lacayo and unanimously carried.
Mr. Schatzeder informed the Council that on the Smoke Detector Ordinance the
Fire Marshal has requested the wording in paragraph 8 be amended to include
"the seller shall provide a certificate of compliance prior to the close of
escrow".
Mayor Lacayo inquired if anyone in the audience wished to address the Council
on this matter.

opposition in the threat to take away monies that are already designated as

tary.

Cypress and thanked everyone for making him feel so welcomed and for their
cooperation in working with him.
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF HEARING OFFICER'S PROPOSED DECISION IN THE
MATTER OF THE APPEAL BY SUSAN BORGES: Mr. Essex stated that this item had
been continued to allow Ms. Borges to be in attendance. He informed the
Council that he did not feel the recent proposal of splitting the hours of
this position with another position would be a beneficial step to take.
Mayor Lacayo inquired what would be involved if the Council were to overturn
the Hearing Officer's decision.
Mr. Murphy stated that the Council could approve the Hearing Officer's decision
or overturn it and that may lead to other ramifications.
Councilman Coronado stated that he had requested the continuance of this item.
He felt that the slow down of work coupled with some personality conflicts are
the reason for this lay-off. Councilman Coronado stated that he would reco~m~end
that Ms. Borges be retained either on a part-time basis or in a position in some
other department of the City.
Mayor Lacayo stated that the issue needed to be looked at as a whole and the
individual should not be considered. He stated that the personnel process
had been followed and the result was the Hearing Officer's decision. He
stated that he would support the Hearing Officer's decision.
Councilman Coronado stated that he has never been in favor of hiring an
outsider to handle these personnel matters.
Mr. Essex pointed out that this hearing was eight hours in length and would
require the Council to arrange for this time period to hear all the evidence
presented during this hearing.
Councilman Mullen stated that the key issue to be determined was whether or
not this was a legitimate lay-off. He stated that no evidence to indicate other-
wise had been presented and, therefore,the lay-off must be valid.
Ms. Borges questioned the validity of the lay-off citing the decision to lay
her off rather than reduce her hours after she had stated she might appeal.
Mayor Lacayo informed Ms. Borges that the Council does not make management decisions
on these types of issues.
Councilman Mullen moved to uphold the Hearing Officer's decision on this item.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Partin and carried by the following roll
call vote:

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF CATV RFP STATUS REPORT: Mr. Essex informed

on a very low-keyed manner in order for the City to benefit from the problems
arising with other cities and attempt to alleviate the same occurrences from
happening in Cypress. He commended the staff on the job done on the cable
television contract RFP. He stated the City's objective would be to obtain
the best possible service with the lowest rates available.
Mayor Lacayo requested that page two be modified to include the City Council
along with the City representatives. Ne felt that this would enable better
communication between the City and prospective cable television companies.
Councilman Coronado stated that he would n~t support this item as he felt the
City was not prepared without an adopted cable television ordinance.
Mayor Lacayo replied that he did not feet the fact that the City did not currently
have an ordinance should delay the bidding process.
Councilman Kanel requested that staff be given the option of obtaining the assist-
ance of an outside consultant if as the negotiatidns proceeded it was felt it
was necessary.
Mr. Essex stated that he felt that could possibly be an advantage to the staff
if it were to develop that they did not feel confident in handling the complex
situations that may arise.
