CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: APPUCATlON FOR LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
PERMIT - THE HIDE-AWAY, 4360 LINCOLN AVENUE, CYPRESS: Mr. Barrett presented a
staff report dated August 8, 1984, explaining that an application has been submitted for a Live
Entertainment Permit by Mr. Hans-Juergen Dawodniak, for a two or three piece country
western or soft rock band and dancing by the patrons during the hours of 8:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
The Police Department's investigation has found no basis to protest the application.
Mr. Andrew Alaman, 4860 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress, manager of the Hide-Away, spoke in
support of the permit, explaining that the patrons had requested entertainment and stated his
opinion that it would increase business on the slower nights.
Mr. Jim Fox, 9652 Glenbrook Street, Cypress, spoke in support of the application with the
condition that the back door remain closed.
Mrs. Evelyn Luchik, 4316 Lincoln Plaza Way, Cypress, presented a letter from the Board of the

open. Mrs. Luchik added that between 1:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. the Hide-Away empties trash at
the rear of the building which creates a loud disturbance.
Discussion ensued with Council suggesting possible solutions to the concerns of the residents,
such as keeping the back door closed at all times, and possibly waiting until the morning to
empty the trash, stressing that if these conditions were violated, the permit could be pulled by
Council.
Mayor Partin suggested a possible continuance, thereby enabling staff to outline the conditions
of approval, and giving the Association and the Hide-Away an opportunity to meet and discuss
concerns in further detail.
Mr. Alaman explained that for safety reasons all paper products and trash behind the bar must
be emptied to an outside container at the end of the evening.
Councilman Lacayo and Councilman Mullen concurred with Mayor Partin that a continuance
would enable staff to prepare proper wording for conditions and allow sufficient time for owner
and manager of the Hide-Away to meet with the Condominium Association to obtain viable
solutions to the concerns.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen to continue the public hearing to August 27, 1984, and to
direct staff to develop the conditions for approval. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Lacayo and unanimously carried 4-0, Councilman Coronado absent.
CONSIDERATION OF PUBUC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 84-18
(EXPANDING EXISTING RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/CAMPER SALES OFFICE AND STORAGE
YARD, 5632-5652 LINCOLN AVENUE). Vern Jones presented the staff report dated August 3,
1984, which summarizes the request to expand an existing recreational vehicle/camper sales
office and storage yard (Camp-Tel Camper Sales) located at 5632-5652 Lincoln Avenue. The
applicant has operated the Camp-Tel Camper Sales business at 5652 Lincoln Avenue for the past
19 years as a legal nonconforming use. However, Mr. Decker is now submitting this application
in order to expand his business to include the two lots to the west which are known as 5632 and
5652 Lincoln Avenue. There is a large existing building at 5640 Licoln Avenue (formerly
occupied by Vince's Body Shop) which is proposed to be remcdeled to serve as an office and
parts/service area, with the remainder of the area to be used for recreational vehicle/camper
display and guest parking. Staff supports this application, subject to conditions, since its
implementation would result in a substantial improvement to the subject site and the proposed
use is consistent with surrounding properties and the intent of the City's Land Use Element.
Mr. Robert Decker, applicant, 5131 Hickory Circle, Cypress., spoke in support of his request. He
expressed his objection to Condition No. 10, regarding moving the fence back 5 feet. He stated
it would be very costly, would encourage turnarounds in that area, and would require
considerably more maintenance. Mr. Decker also informed the Council that he presently
occupies 5632 Lincoln Avenue and that he is requesting expansion to 5640 Lincoln Avenue.
Councilman Lacayo asked the reason for moving the fence, and in response Mr. Jones stated
that the main reason is to enhance the aesthetic view of Lincoln Avenue.
Councilman Lacayo suggested the possibility of delaying the implementation regarding the
fence for a period of one year, adding that eventually the condition must be adhered to.
Councilman Mullen stated that he would not support this application if the condition were
deleted entirely. He concurred with Councilman Lacayo that he would have no objection to
delaying the implementation of Condition No. 10 for one year. Councilman Mullen stressed the
importance of adhering to the goals established f or Lincoln A venue.
Mr. Decker was asked if he wished a continuance to meet with staff regarding the conditions; he
responded in the affirmative.
A motion was made by Councilman Mullen to continue this item to the Council meeting of
August 27, 1984. Hearing no objection, Mayor Partin so ord,ered it continued.
CONSIDERATION OF PUBUC HEARING RE: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 84-19 (PRE-
SCHOOL/DAY CARE CENTER AT KING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 8710 MOODY STREET)
AND CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: CONDffIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 84-20
(PRE-SCHOOL/DAY CARE CENTER WITHIN VESSELS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 5900 CATHY
AVENUE): Vern Jones presented staff reports dated August 2, 1984, summarizing the requests
by the Cypress School District, 9470 Moody Street, to establish Preschools/Day Care Centers at
the existing King Elementary School site, located at 8710 Moody Street, and at the Vessels
Elementary School, located at 5900 Cathy Avenue. Due to decreased enrollment, the school

district is attempting to provide greater community service by utilizing vacant classrooms
at these elementary school sites. Staff recommended approval of Conditional Use Permit No.
84-19 and Conditional Use Permit No. 84-20, subject to conditions.
Mr. Bill Calton, Superintendent of Cypress School District, '9470 Moody Street, spoke in support
of the District's request, eXplaining that similar programs are now operating at other schools in
the school district and seem to be very successful. He added that the utilization of these empty
classrooms helps retain and attract students and provides a day care center for children.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to close the public
hearing and to adopt the Resolutions by title only, titles as follows, approving Conditional Use
Permit No. 84-19 and Conditional Use Permit 84-20, subject to conditions.

AIRCRAFT ACTIVITIES AND NOISE AT LOS ALAMITOS AIR BASE: City Attorney John
Murphy stated that the petition received from Mr. O'Neil e,arlier in the meeting is in compliance
with the City Code.
Mr. O'Neil, 10551 Ritter Street, explained that the two concerns of the residents are the safety
of the citizens due to the low flying aircraft, and the increased noise created by the flights.
He stated that he realizes that some increased air traffic has been generated due to the
Olympics, but added that the problem has been a growing concern for a long time.
Major Davies, Operations Commander for the Army Airfield at the Los Alamitos Armed Forces
Reserve Center, was present to address the concerns of the citizens, and to invite them to a
meeting so that he can brief them on the flight paths, etc., to assist in the public's
understanding of the base operation. Major Davies eXplained that although he had previously
reported to Council that there would be an increase in activities at the base, there is not as
much of an increase in air traffic as expected. However, there have been night flights
extending as late as 11:00 p.m. due to special night vision goggle training. The Major concluded
by assuring the Council and Mr. O'Neil that the Base has an excellent safety record, and
reiterated his willingness to work with the community to ohtain a good relationship with the
citizens.
Mayor Partin stated his growing concern over the gradual increase in air traffic, and requested
that Major Davies provide Council with a record of flight operations for the last five years.
Councilman Lacayo suggested an examination of the approach patterns and possible alternatives
to alleviate the noise and safety concerns, and the preparation of a public announcement to
inform the public.
Councilman Mullen recommended that the City assist in scheduling a meeting, including mailing
notifications of the time and day to all residents who signed the petition.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to authorize staff to
participate with Mr. O'Neil to organize a meeting, inviting all interested parties, to be held at a
local neighborhood school facility, contact person to be Dave Barrett. Hearing no objection,
Mayor Partin ordered it so moved.
Councilman Mullen requested that staff provide Council with a typewritten list of the names on
the petition and prepare address labels for mailing, and suggested that Mr. O'Neil provide the
local newspapers with a press release stating the date and time of the meeting to aid in public
notification.
Councilman Lacayo suggested that Council take the petition with them when they meet with

proponents of the Airport Land Use Commission.
For informational purposes, Mayor Partin stated that the citizens of Cypress can expect an
increase in air traffic this week, due to the withdrawal of security equipment specifically
delivered for the Olympics.
INOPERATIVE VEHICLE AT 9347 DANBURY STREET AND BUS PARKED ON STREET AT 9468
DANBUR Y STREET: Mr. Barrett reported that a petition had been received from a residents in
the vicinity of 9347 Danbury Street requesting City assistance in the removal of an inoperative
pickup/camper parked on the lawn at 9347 Danbury Street and a bus parked at 9468 Danbury
Street. The Planning Department and the Police Department have made numerous attempts to
notify the owners that the vehicles are creating a public nuisance. The owner of the bus has
moved the vehicle on to the lawn of his residence and no response has been received from the
owner of 9347 Danbury Street. At present, both of these situations are being monitored closely.
The City Attorney has indicated that Council may wish to authorize his office to pursue actions
either civilly or criminally. Mr. Murphy stated that at this time it would be inappropriate to
file criminal actions with respect to violations that have already occurred, but but would be
prepared to file for violations that occur in the future.
After brief discussion and concurrence by the Council that ample warnings have been provided
to the owners, it was moved by Councilman Mullen to authorize and direct the City Attorney's
office to file an action in connection with any future violation of the parking restrictions, and
not as a direction for prosectuion of a previous violation. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Lacayo and unanimously carried 4-0, Councilman Coronado absent.
CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT
COMMUNICATIONS HEADSETS: Mr. Barrett summarized the staff report dated July 30, 1984,
from the police department requesting the purchase of 10 communications headsets. The City's
ten Dispatchers presently share two radio/telephone communications headsets that permit
"hands free" operation of the radio and telephone. The resuJlt of the frequent interchange and
personal adjustments of the equipment has proven extremely damaging to the sensitive
equipment, thereby resulting in frequent and costly repair. The police department had
researched several different types, makes, styles, and models of headsets, and has also
considered such things as cost, repair cost, local service availability, and equipment quality, and
has found the Anixter Company to be the most reasonable company.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Mayor Partin to dispense with the
competitive bidding process, and authorize the purchase of ten (0) communication headsets
from Anixter Company, 2220 Richey Street, Santa Ana, in the amount of $1,061.59. The motion
unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF HOWARD TURF BLAZER
MOWER AND CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF TORO 200 MOWER: Mr. Beardsley
summarized two staff reports dated August 1, 1984. The first report was a request for the
purchase of a Howard Turf Blazer, to be used by the Park Maintenance crews to mow the
athletic fields and added turf areas. Bob Hicks Turf Equipment Company, Incorporated, of
Anaheim, loaned a demonstrator model to the City for evaluation and use, and the employees
were pleased with the operating characteristics of this unit. Because this Howard Turf Blazer
will satisfy the requirements of the Maintenance Division and carries the same guarantee as a
new unit, authorization to purchase this demonstrator, in the amount of $11,342.00 was
requested. The second report was a request for the purchas.~ of a Taro 200 mower, which will
be used to mow the Civic Center, parkways and parks. Toro Pacific, City of Industry, has a
demonstrator mower with approximately 24 hours of use and can be purchased for a total price
of $10,335.00, with the same guarantee as a new machine. Staff has determined that the Toro
200 best meets the needs of the Maintenance Division for moving turf areas throughout the
City, therefore requests authorization to purchase this mower.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to dispense with the
regular bidding process and authorize the purchase of the Howard Turf Blazer from Bob Hicks,
1274 North Red Gum Street, Anaheim, in the total amount of $11,342.00, and the purchase of
the Toro 200 from Toro Pacific, 19515 East Walnut Drive North, City of Industry, in the total
amount of $10,335.00. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

CONSIDERATION OF A WARD OF CONTRACT FOR REPLACEMENT OF FIVE (5) POLICE
BLACK AND WHITE UNITS: Chief Lowenberg presented a staff report dated August 3, 1984,
requesting the purchase of five replacement police units through the State of California
contract. The units to be replaced have become costly due to excessive repairs. All five units
have fulfilled their useful life to the department, exceeding the established criteria of 65,000
miles for replacement.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to dispense with the
formal competitive bidding process and authorize the purchase of five police units under the
State of California contract with Downtown Ford Sales, 525 North 16th Street, Sacramento, for
a total estimated cost of $56,454.18, final cost not exceeding the budgeted amount of $60,000.

CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT: Mr.
Barrett summarized the staff report dated August 6, 1984, a request for 6 Motorola vehicle
radios, explaining that because all police communications equipment and all existing mobile
units in the Public Works Department are Motorola equipment, and all equipment is installed,
maintained, and repaired by the County of Orange, Deparment of Communications and
Transportation, it is considered advisable to purchase the new equipment directly from
Motorola.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded hy Mayor Partin to dispense with formal
competitive bidding and award the contract for the purchase of the communications equipment
to Motorola Communications and Electronics, Incorporated, 171 South Anita, Suite 201, Orange,
in the amount of $5,584.40. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:
