appear before them to request a renewal of the funding.
Councilmember Kerry commented that the Council was encouraging the Boys &
Girls Club to obtain funding from various sources and if there is a further
funding need in six months, to return to Council with their request.
Mr. Ray Thomson, Boys & Girls Club representative, advised they are in the
process of diversifying their fund-raising base, have been successful in
supplementing a large portion and thanked the Council for their understanding
and support..
Councilmember Arnold expressed her support of the Latch Key program and
believed it was very important that the Boys & Girls Club consider ways of
raising funds by means other than bingo, is delighted that the City is able to
partially fund this program and would be disappointed if, after six months,
the Boys & Girls Club would request funding for the second six months.

City Council Minutes June 26, 1989119
Mayor Pro Tem Kanel voiced his disagreement to any increase in the budget for
legal fees. Some of those matters may be settled within the next couple of
months, it has been confirmed by the ~nershiP that there have been offers in
the last 60 days and the property is bing marketed. He thought the
litigation probably would not continue if the property is sold and he will not
reveal or give credit to remarks discussed in Closed Session by attorneys who
are representing this City in litigation.
Councilmember Arnold stated that we do have a conservative budget and the
Council has had to consider dropping some proposals from the budget that were
very important to consider and it appears there is enough potential litigation
to take the legal fees far in excess of what has been allocated.
Councilmember Kerry stated that the attorneys have advised that the figure
presented is a fair number and Council should abide by the attorneys advice.
Councilmember Age stated she had expressed concern about the $75,000, that
figure has been increased to $210,000 and there is not a consensus of the
Council to increase that amount further. She also stated that if the
litigation fees exceed the budgeted amount, that possibility has been brought
to the public's attention and they are aware that additional funds might be
requested.
Mayor Pro Tem Kanel remarked that attorneys can provide ideas on what
something may cost but, at the same time, it is unknown what the other side is
going to do.
Councilmember Arnold said we have to be realistic to the people of Cypress and
prepare ourselves as much as we possibly can.
Mayor Pro Tem Kanel stated that the public should understand that it is not
the City Council that is filing lawsuits, it is Hollywood Park Realty.
After further discussion, Councilmember Kerry stated she is not in favor of
increasing the budgeted amount for legal fees and concurred with Councilmember
Age's statement.
Councilmember Age commented that the Hollywood Park issue is a very emotional
one, it is a total horse racing issue and not just a Hollywood Park issue.
She further commented that people have taken sides on this issue and perhaps
the issue soon will be settled and the city will become one again.
It was moved by Councilmember Kerry and seconded by Councilmember Age to adopt
the Resolution by title only, title as follows, approving the annual budget
for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1989 and fixing the limitations of
expenditures for the several funds and the functions, departments and
activities carried on under such funds.

CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING SMOKE DETECTORS IN ALL RESIDENTIAL

Agenda to discuss the possibility of enacting an Ordinance requiring smoke
detectors in all residential dwelling units.
Mr. Chuck Nicola, Assistant Fire Marshal with the Orange County Fire
Department, cited some statistics relevant to the installation of smoke
detectors and commended the Council on recommending the Ordinance.
Councilmember Age stated she strongly supported an Ordinance of this type and
asked how it would be enforced by the Fire Department.

hesitated telling someone what to do. Perhaps the message could be published
in the city newsletter and the local newspaper advising of the importance of
having a smoke alarm.
Mayor Pro Tem Kanel stated that he believed this Ordinance would pass and it
is for the citizens protection.
Ms. Dorianne Garcia, 5732 Cathy Lane, Cypress, voiced her objection to the
encouragement of the County Fire Department urging the Council to dictate to
private citizens what is placed in their homes. She suggested an aggressive
campaign to educate the public as to wisdom of installing smoke detectors.
Ms. Jane Wozniak, 4480 Avenida Granada, Cypress, stated that she did support
an Ordinance on smoke detectors.
Mayor Pro Tem Kanel polled the Council as to putting some form of an ordinance
requiring smoke detectors on the July 10, 1989 Agenda and with one objection
voiced by Councilmember Arnold, he so ordered.
