CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS FOR
ACQUIRING STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY ON DENNI STREET, SOUTH OF LINCOLN AVENUE,
CITY OF CYPRESS PROJECT NO. 8612-90: Public Works Director Bob Beardsley
summarized the staff report dated July 11, 1985. At the June 10 meeting, the Council
approved the staff recommendation to offer purchase of the necessary right-of-way for
completion of the sidewalk along the east side of Denni Street, south of Lincoln A venue. The
condition of this approval was that the total project cost would not exceed the staff
preliminary estimate of $4,500. The total project cost is estimated at $10,750. It is still a
concern that this area has no sidewalk and could present a safety problem for pedestrians
walking on Denni Street; therefore, staff continues to recommend that improvements are
needed even at the higher estimated cost involved.
After brief discussion, it was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman
Lacayo to authorize staff to proceed with a written offer to acquire the ultimate street right
of way from the owner of Assessor's Parcel No. 244-351-08 in the amount of $6,750, and if
accepted by the property owner, proceed with design and advertising for construction of the
sidewalk project. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

In regard to Item No.4-A, Mayor Kanel reported that he, Chief Lowenberg, Sergeant
Schaefer and Mr. Ferracioli met to discuss the concerns voiced previously by Mr. Ferracioli
at the Council meeting of July 8, 1985, regarding his vehicles being towed from Cerritos
Avenue due to being parked in excess of 72-hours.
Mr. Ferracioli addressed the following concerns: 1) unjust treatment; 2) towing, impound
charges and damages to cars; 3) the stora~e of vehicles while vacationing; 4) the time limit
allowed to park boats on the street; and 5) inability to work on cars in the driveway. Mr.
Ferracioli added that because of these retrictions, it reduces his freedom, and he is
requesting reimbursement of towing, storage and vehicle damage fees.
Because of the mention of a lawsuit by Mr. Ferracioli, Councilman Partin moved to table this
issue. The motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman Lacayo and Councilman Mullen addressed the issues raised by Mr. Ferracioli, and
the Mayor called a Closed Session.
CLOSED SESSION: At 8:30 p.m., Mayor Kanel called a Closed Session for discussion and the
meeting reconvened at 8:38 p.m.
Mayor Kanel, speaking on behalf of the Council, offered Mr. Ferracioli a reimbursement of
the towing and storage fees for the Chevrolet if the receipts are submitted to the City Clerk.

Mayor Kanel indicated that reimbursement for the alleged damage to the vehicles claimed by
Mr. Ferracioli, as well as the towing and storage fees for the second car, would not be
considered. Councilman Partin added that the reason this resolve was chosen was because
the Council is of the opinion that this case does contain extenuating circumstances. Mr.
Ferracioli indicated that he would accept the settlement offer.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Mullen to direct Mr.
Ferracioli to complete a claim form and submit it to the City Clerk's office, along with the
receipts, and to approve the reimbursement of the towing and storage fees for the Chevrolet.

Establishing Fees for Various City Services, Mr. Barrett reviewed the staff report dated July
22, 1985, and indicated that substantial revenue would be lost if the Council waits to consider

July 22, 1985
Planning fees. The Planning Department recommended that until further analysis can be
completed, their fees remain at current levels, except for the Environmental Impact Report
and the Specific Plan. The proposed increase is from $100 to $1200 for Environmental
Impact Reports and from no current charge to $1100 for Specific Plans, due to the
considerable amount of staff time involved in providing both services. It was stressed that
these costs affect only major construction projects, and are comparable to other cities' fees.
It was moved by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to adopt the
Resolutions by titles only, titles as follow, establishing fees for various City services.

Mrs. Spurgeon requested that one Council member be present at that meeting. Councilman
Lacayo volunteered to attend.

CONSIDERATION OF THE CYPRESS BLUE RIBBON CITIZENS COMMITTEE REPORT ON
Tim ,~JR BASE: Mr. Barrett summarized the staff report dated July 16, 1985. The Council
received ;:;(Jpies of the Cypress Blue Ribbon Citizens Committee report with formal
recom mendations, as well as a copy of the Environmental Health Care Agency's Aircraft
Noise Study. Originally the Police Department had expressed concern regarding the use of
Dispatchers for the operation of a noise-incident phone. Following further consideration of
the Committee's report, staff concluded that the lighter than anticipated frequency of calls
would enable the Police Department business number to be used for the reporting; the
Dispatchers could maintain a separate log noting the pertinent information; and when a
significant number of calls are received, the Base would be contacted; a cumulative log
would be submitted to the Base with a request for formal response on a weekly basis; and
monthly summary reports would be prepared as recommended by the Committee.
!VIr. Craig Bourne, Chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee, summarized the report and
indicated that the Committee felt it would be of benefit to make a specific effort to inform
the community about the activity of the Blue Ribbon Citizens Committee, its findings and
re'~ommendations, reports on the volume of complaints logged once the noise-incident phone
has been establishe<i, and information related to the Los Alamitos AFRC as it affects the
C;ty of Cypress. The means to disseminate information were suggested as follows: The
Cypress City Council Newsletter; public newspapers; reprints of summary of Committee
report; and printed material submitted to Neighborhood Watch Block Captains. Mr. Bourne
reviewed the UliTtt~en Committee recommendations, the first six of which refer to altitudes
anrj flight techniques that would improve the noise and safety situation, and answered
questions from lhe Council. Mr. Bourne concluded by addressing Recommendation No. 13,
thnt thE' Blue Ribhon Citizens Committee be kept in tact for a period of one year, to meet at
the chairmfin1s discretion, for the purpose of evaluating whether satisfactory improvement
has been achieved in the recommended areas. The Council concurred that the Committee
should remain as H group for at least one year.
The Council commended the Committee on the informative report and indicated their
agreemcmt with the recommendation that the community receive information about the
Committee work and recommendations.
Councilman Lacayo asked Mr. Bourne for his opinion of Congre~sman Dannemeyer's
communication regarding the closing of the Katella Corridor. Mr. Bourne indicated that the
Committee had reviewed that issue and felt that the Corridor could not be abandoned and
therefore did not consider it as a final recommendation. Mr. Bourne added that the Base has
been advised of the Committee's recommendations and the Committee has high expectations
that each recommendation will be complied with.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo, seconded by Councilman Mullen to accept the report;
refer Congressman Dannemeyer's communication urging Council adoption of a Resolution in
support of the closing of the Katella Corridor to the Committee for review and
recommendation to be brought back to the Council as soon as possible; inform Congressman
Danneymeyer that the Council has referred this issue to its Blue Ribbon Committee; proceed
with the packaging and distribution of this information to the community; and send a copy of
the report to the Base and asked that representatives be present at the next Council
meeting. The motion unanimously carried.
