MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
CYPRESS CITY COUNCIL
HELD
June 28, 2004
A regular meeting of the Cypress City Council was called to order at 5:04 p.m. by
Mayor Keenan in the Executive Board Room, 5275 Orange Avenue, Cypress,
California.
PRESENT:
Council/Agency Board Members McCoy, McGill, Sondhi,
Mayor/Agency Chair Keenan
ABSENT:
Mayor Pro Tem/Agency Vice Chair Piercy
STAFF PRESENT: City Manager, City Attorney, Assistant City Manager,
Director of Finance and Administrative Services, Chief of Police, Acting Public Works
Director, Recreation and Community Services Director, Assistant Community
Development Director, Administrative Services Manager, Recreation Superintendent,
City Clerk, and Deputy City Clerk.
The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that staff has identified areas
of the Facility Use Policy that needed consideration and revisions. Studies have been
done of other cities and discussions held with other cities regarding their policies and
procedures.
The Recreation Superintendent stated that staff's goal was to create an all
encompassing document that had language and guidelines for the rental of all City
facilities, to have user-friendly guidelines for fee collections and cancellation policy, and
to add language to protect City facilities and equipment. She stated that the revisions
have been presented to the Recreation Commission and the City Attorney, which
reflects their changes. Staff also met with Mayor Pro Tem Piercy who had some
suggested changes as well.
The Recreation Superintendent stated that there are seven main areas that require
modification to better manage the process and provide clear established regulations.
The first is facility rental fees and the deposit/collection procedure. Current policy
requires all fees up front and residents can rent a facility up to 15 months in advance.
Non-residents can rent a facility up to 11 months in a(jvance. Staff is recommending
that half of the rental fee and a $100 booking fee be required when reserving a facility
120 days or more in advance. The booking fee will be applied toward the rental fee.
Booking timelines will remain the same for the large auditorium rooms (30 days),
however, the smaller rooms, moon bounces, and park pavilion reservations can be
made up to 10 days in advance.
The Recreation Superintendent stated the current cancellation policy is broken down
into different levels of refunding amounts based on the number of days prior to the
event that cancellation occurs. Staff recommends revising the policy so that if a
cancellation occurs 120 days or more prior to the event, the booking fee will be retained
and all other fees be refunded. If cancellation occurs 119 to 90 days prior, the
reservation fee and 50% of rental fees will be retained. If cancellation occurs 89 to 30
days prior, the reservation fee and 75% of rental fees will be retained. If the cancellation
occurs 29 days or less prior to the event, the reservation and all rental fees will be
retained but the security deposit will be refunded. She stated that Mayor Pro Tem
Piercy had suggested allowing applicants who have cancelled an event the opportunity
to call in to see if the facility had been rented out. If it had been rented, they would be
eligible for 50% of their fees back.

JUNE 28, 2004
The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that a request in writing would
be required if that refund policy was approved.
The Recreation Superintendent stated that current policy requires the hiring of licensed
and bonded guards if alcohol will be served at an event. Current policy allows patrons
to select their own firm, which has led to improper enforcement of facility policies. It is
recommended that the policy be revised where a list of City-authorized security firms be
provided to applicants for them to choose from.
The Recreation Superintendent stated that additional language to the general facility
use regulations is recommended as follows: 1) Add an enforcement section for
penalties associated with damage to facilities; 2) Add a section for penalties for using
facilities beyond the contracted time limit; and 3) Add a section that states the
consequences of violating any portion of the contract, including the loss of security
deposit and additional billing for damages beyond the deposit amount. She stated that
the Recreation Commission recommended charging patrons double the hourly rate for
using the facility beyond the contract time and Mayor Pro Tem Piercy suggested that
this double rate be prorated by the half hour.
The Recreation and Community Services Director statled that the current policy does
not have a penalty for users who go beyond the contracted time. The current charge is
just an additional hourly fee. The recommended chan!Je is a progressive penalty for
every 30 minutes beyond the specified ending time. Tllis should provide incentive for
users to conclude on time.
The Recreation Superintendent stated that current policy allows only non-profit groups
to sell alcohol. Private groups can serve alcohol but cannot charge for it. The
recommended change would allow private groups to selll alcohol as long as the service
is provided by an ABC licensed caterer or bartender. Non-profit groups are already
required to receive an ABC license. The time limit for serving alcohol would be limited to
six hours and two guards would be required with an additional guard for every 70
participants beyond 140 guests. The revision would also require general liability
insurance when alcohol is available and full liquor liability insurance when alcohol is
sold.
The Recreation Superintendent stated that current policy does not have language for
the rental of pavilions or obtaining a moonbounce permit. It is recommended that rental
and permits be available to Cypress residents only, one permit per day per park be
issued, fees not be refundable, reservations must be made 10 working days in
advance, and alcohol not be permitted at any park or facility unless authorized.
The Recreation and Community Services Director asked the City Council if the changes
discussed should be included in the Facility Use Policy revisions. If so, the item will be
pulled from the Consent Calendar.
It was the consensus of the Council to include the changes for approval at tonight's
meeting.
Council Member Sondhi thanked staff for their hard work: on the policy revisions.
The City Attorney reported that the Redevelopment Agency would be meeting in Closed
