'-1 .l. {'''~ ~~~y Council Minutes July 25, 1988 CITY BOUNDARIES AND SOUTH OF THE LA PALMA CITY BOUNDARIES: Mayor Arnold referred to the staff report dated July 19, 1988, which indicated that staff had completed the second test regarding verification of the property owners' signatures. The City staff was able to verify signatures of protest for a total of 159 parcels with an assessed value of $10,122,992. This represented 17 percent of the property owners, owning 22 percent of the total assessed value of the land and if less than 25 percent of the property owners, owning less than 25 percent of the land protest, the annexation shall proceed without an election. ll'-"."I!Il" The City Manager stated that the effective date of the annexation is determined by the recording of the annexation resolution by LAFCO with the County Recorder's Office. He further stated the City could request a date on which LAFCO would make the recording effective and provide the City with sufficient time to send out notification to the people in the area and coordinate with the various County departments. The City Attorney advised that the Council has: held a protest hearing, did not receive enough protests that evening and, as a result, the public hearing was continued for two weeks to allow more protest time than the law required and the public hearing was closed on June 27. He then referred to the State Government Code which indicates that there is a 30 day limit after the conclusion of the hearing during which time the City Council adopts a Resolution making a finding on one of the three actions to be taken based on the number of protests filed. He advised that it seems Council really has only one alternative and that is to order the annexation. Councilman Davis asked if the City Council had the authority to call an election in the unincorporated area and the City Attorney replied that since not more than 25% of the voters or property owners protested an election is not an option. After further discussion, Councilman Kanel suggested that if the election option was available, it would be stated in the law and if the City Council didn't take the action required by law, the courts would. Mayor Arnold advised that this area has been noticed more times than the law requires. The Council has encouraged everyone to become involved, has had town hall meetings, and provided additional time to gather more protest signatures. Councilman Kanel concurred with the Mayor's statement and commented that most of the people from the area had been there for some time and have various animals. He stated there are many more benefits for these unincorporated areas by coming into the cities and there has been an attempt to bring those areas into those nearby cities because of the servicing costs to the County. He reiterated that the City did the overlay zone to protect the parcels of ground on which people have certain types of animals and have attempted to extend and allow more time for animal replacement and he would be willing to grant time greater than six months for animal replacement. He further advised because of insufficient signatures and property owner assessed valuation, the technicalities and legalities that the Council is faced with on this matter, he will support the annexation. Councilman Coronado stated he was not in favor of how the entire matter was started. He mentioned some organizations that he thought were too powerful, he does not support the proceeding and does not feel it was a democratic process at all. He welcomed all the citizens to Cypress and stated they couldn't come into a finer City. It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Mayor Arnold to adopt the Resolution by title only, title as follows for Annexation No. 88-1, ordering annexation of the County of Orange Unincorporated Area into the City of Cypress. RESOLUTION NO. 3428 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS ORDERING TERRITORY DESIGNATED AS ANNEXATION NO. 88-1 ANNEXED TO THE CITY OF CYPRESS.

AYES: 2 COUNCILMEMBERS: Kanel and Arnold NOES: 1 COUNCILMEMBERS: Coronado ABSENT: 1 COUNCILMEMBERS: Mullen ABSTAINED: 1 COUNCILMEMBERS: Davis At this point, the City Attorney interjected that the motion carried but the Resolution did not carry. He further advised that Resolutions require three affirmative votes so the record will show that the matter will be continued until the next City Council meeting. Councilman Kanel asked if the abstention cast by Councilman Davis needed a reason for the record and if there is not a conflict, isn't it a "yes" vote. The City Attorney responded that Councilman Kanel is correct and pursuant to Cypress City Code, Section 2-2.20, the City Clerk shall count the abstention vote of Councilman Davis as a vote in favor of the resolution. Said section provides that an unexcused abstention, "...shall be counted by the City Clerk as a vote in favor of the particular motion." The abstention was not excused by either the City Attorney or the City Council; therefore, the vote would be counted as three (3) ayes and one (1) no on the motion and on the Resolution. Councilman Davis stated he abstained and appreciates what the law states but objected to the procedures. He advised that there may have been a number of people in support of the annexation and he had commented that unless there was a strong showing of support for annexation, he would not support it. He did not want to support something on which there is not a good reading from the people. Mayor Arnold welcomed all the people to the City of Cypress. She advised that the City has bent over backwards to see that this matter has been conducted in a democratic fashion and has never heard of any item where every citizen has been compelled to vote. The City Attorney noted that the effective date of the annexation should be September 1, 1988 or the date agreed upon by LAFCO in further discussions. RECESS: Mayor Arnold recessed the meeting at 9:02 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 9:07 p.m. with all Councilmembers present. A citizen from the annexation area protested the City Council's vote and stated that under parliamentary procedure and Roberts' Rules of Order, the chair cannot second a motion and it would have died for lack of a second. Councilman Kanel explained that a Councilmember, even though they are holding the title of Mayor, can make a motion let alone give a second. He further advised that the Council is governed by Roberts' Rules of Order plus precedent of law adjudicated and Councilmembers are treated equally and they can second a motion and they can make a motion. The City Attorney remarked that the Mayor or presiding officer frequently does second a motion and can, in fact, make a motion and parliamentary procedure would not be controlling in this case.
