MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE CYPRESS CITY COUNCIL
HELD
September 21, 1989
The special meeting of the Cypress City Council was called to order at 5:35
p.m. in the Cypress City Council Chamber Conference Room, located at 5275
Orange Avenue, by Mayor Margaret Arnold.
PRESENT: Councilmembers Age, Bowman, Kanel, Kerry and Arnold
ABSENT: None
Also present were City Manager/City Clerk Darrell Essex, City Attorney Jerry
Patterson and staff members Eynon and Hurst.
CLOSED SESSION: The City Council immediately called for a Closed Session to
discuss Hollywood Park Realty Enterprises, Inc. litigation. The Closed
Session concluded at 7:10 p.m. and the meeting reconvened with all
Councilmembers present.
CONSIDERATION OF ISSUES REGARDING THE PROCESSING OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR
THE LOS ALAMITOS RACE TRACK AND GOLF COURSE PROPERTY: The City Manager
requested that the City Council determine the extent of their involvement in
the processing of any plans or documents which might be submitted for the
development of the property adjacent to the Los Alamitos Race Course.
Both the City Manager and the Planning Director also requested the City
Council to determine whether or not they wished to expedite the processing of
any development plans submitted for the development of the property adjoining
the race track by authorizing staff to employ the necessary consultants who
would be employed by the City but paid by the proposed developer.
During the ensuing discussion, it was generally agreed by the Council that the
development plan should be processed in the normal fashion and it was
suggested that staff pursue the possibility of including the area in a
redevelopment program.
The City Attorney cautioned the City Council that the use of the land is the
decision of the property owner and since the property is involved in
litigation, policy issues should be discussed during the public hearing
process and any meetings with the proposed buyer should be held with the full
Council in attendance.
ADJOURNMENT: It was moved by Councilmember Bowman, seconded by Councilmember
Age and hearing no objection, Mayor Arnold adjourned the meeting at 8:20 p.m.
