principal, Jack Weber, who commented the band practice is on the school
property and they receive very few complaints. Councilmember Kanel wondered
if it was necessary to go further on this item because a band does practice
early in the morning, everybody lives with it and it is an accepted thing.
Mayor Davis remarked they start at 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. at a time that does
not interfere with the academics and allows a fuller schedule for band
students.

November 23, 1988, which indicated a petition was submitted to staff regarding
traffic cond tions on Camp Street as a result of the Straight Talk Clinic. A
community me(.ting was held by the Executive Director of the Clinic and
attendance at the meeting was poor.
Mr. Bruce Robbins, Executive Director of Straight Talk, stated that the
community meeting was noticed by letter to all the residents on Camp Street -
asking them to call his office to arrange a convenient time to meet.
Councilmember Kanel asked if there have been no increase in Straight Talk
programs for the last five years, why are so many people living on the street
disturbed about the traffic problems and what has caused this to come about.
Responding to Councilmember Kanel, the City Manager answered that Straight
Talk was not required to obtain a conditional use permit because in 1972 it
was considered an accessory use to the school.
Mr. Robbins explained that the clinic is closed on weekends and virtually
deserted on Fridays and the traffic data indicates that Friday, Saturday and
Sunday had higher traffic flow than some of the days the Clinic was operating.
Ms. Christine Swain, 5362 Crescent Street, Cypress, clarified that the City
leases the Straight Talk Clinic property from the school board and the Clinic
is a terrific thing for the youth of the City and wondered if the swap meet
office was causing the traffic.
Ms. Joan Oper, 5531 Camp Street, Cypress, stated she was representing the
residents on Camp Street regarding the problem with traffic on Camp Street.
She advised there was an express request that the petition be directed to the
City Council; Camp Street is the only access street to the Clinic and the gate
between the school and the street appears to be open all the time; Mr.
Robbins' lettf?r to the residents of Camp Street regarding a meeting with him
made no mention that he had been requested by the City to hold this meeting.
She stated many residents did not attend this meeting because they felt the
problem was directed to the City and she proceeded to provided history and
presented the residents' view of the current problems arising from Straight
Talk . She further stated that a counseling facility such as this does not
really belong at the end of a residential cul-de-sac street.
Mr. Charles Doyle, 5668 Camp Street, Cypress, complained about the traffic
problem but stated the problem goes far beyond the traffic issue. He stated
the City does know about the problem and the residents have genuine concerns
and problems on the street. He stated they want the Straight Talk Clinic
moved out and regain the residential neighborhood.

City Council Minutes November 28, 1~~3
Mr. David Farmer, 5681 Camp street, Cypress, stated there are a lot of
children living on the street and the drivers of the cars coming out of
straight talk are traveling at 50, 60 miles an hour and not paying attention.
Mr. Jesse Ibarra, 10681 Knott Avenue, Buena Park, owns a house on Camp Street,
is concerned with the traffic in the area and asked the Council to assist in
finding a solution.
Responding to Councilmember Arnold, the Chief will supply the Council with an
activity report profile on complaints from the neighbors and any increase in
traffic citations. He also mentioned that the Police Department has increased
the traffic checks in the area.
Councilmember Arnold stated she is a strong supporter of the Straight Talk
activities and it is a tremendous operation; it sounds that there is data that
needs to be researched and she wasn"t sure that all of the disturbance is
coming from Straight Talk.
Councilmember Age commented that if the traffic problem is resolved, are the
citizens going to be happy if Straight Talk is still functioning out of that
location or are they suggesting that they wouldn"t be regardless of what
happens.
The City Attorney advised that there are certain licenses that are granted by
the State wherein the City Council would have no ability to override the
operation or the type of operation that is being conducted.
Councilmember Kerry suggested another traffic study be made on the street to
determine how much traffic is actually going to the Straight Talk Clinic.

before and he considered Camp a quiet street.
Ms. Eloise Doyle, 5668 Camp Street, Cypress, mentioned that there wa'; a drug
problem on the street, did not have any documentation but believed that the
problem can be resolved.

more information and hav2 more studies done on traffic, the history and type
of activity on Camp Street and a report from Mr. Robbins on the clientele of
Straight Talk.
The Public Works Director stated that a traffic count at the driveway of the
Straight Talk clinic could easily be performed.
Councilmember Arnold suggested sending the residents a summary of th,~ staff
report of the Council discussion of this matter to inform the residents of the
complaints and will meet again and decide when additional information is
received. She would like to know what the activity is and the origin of any
undesirable activity.
Councilmember Kanel stated that this is a surprise to him that this was
happening. He mentioned that possibly Straight Talk is considering enlarging
and when that happens, more people are involved.
Councilmember Kerry mentioned that the possibility of drug problems had been
brought up and there should be some information obtained from the Chief as
what type of activity there has been.
After furttler discussion, Councilmember Kerry asked that the Chief determine
if there is any activity that should be looked at from Swain school ind
included in the report.
It was moved by Mayor Davis and seconded by Councilmember Age to have: 1) The
City Manager send a letti?r to the residents of Camp street informing them that
the Council will address their complaints after more information is obtained,
which will require approximately 60 days; 2) A new traffic count taken as
close as pos~ible to the Straight Talk Clinic; 3) A history and profile of the
Straight Talk Clinic to be provided by Mr. Robbins and City staff will meet
with him to determine what is needed; 4) Obtain information from the Police

directory and does not have a directory from other cities to make a
comparison.
Mayor Davis provided some history on the City's support to the Chamber of
Commerce and has some mixed emotions on funding a commercial document at a
time when we are trying to bring down some of the expenditures the City has
been providing the Chamber. He stated that there was a partnership between
the Chamber and the City and are pleased with that relationship, but $4,000 is
a sizeable amount of money.
After further discussion, it was clarified by Mr. Fox that the price will
include the front page and approximately six or seven additional pages which
will be devoted to the City of Cypress.
