CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF CITY TREE POLICIES: The City Manager
requested the Public Works Director to present the staff report dated April n_
24, 1990, which indicated concerns had been expressed by residents and
Councilmembers about the City"s policies and practices pertaining to City
trees. After lengthy discussion by the TEAM, they concluded that it was
timely to form a citizens" advisory committee for policy review. The Public
Works Director introduced a proposed organization for the Tree Committee,
definitions, a goal statement, objectives and a preliminary list of action
items.
Councilmember Kerry stated she would like the Tree Committee be able to review
and provide input on the tree trimming policy, the methods used and the
removal of City trees. Mayor Age suggested that a tree trimming schedule be
developed instead of citizens calling in for service each time. Councilmember
Bowman commented that there is concern about the sidewalks and if the public
were called upon for input, it would be of assistance to the staff.
Councilmember Arnold remarked that she is not certain what the committee is
and suggested the need for more information and input from the citizens. She
asked for a clearer definition of the purpose of the Tree Committee.
Councilmember Kanel asked how the members of the Tree Advisory Committee would
be selected and the Public Works Director responded that an ad would be placed
in the newspaper, applications received and presented to the Council.
Councilmember Kanel suggested prospective applicants write to the City for
Council"s consideration and to provide the Mayor with some names, but he
didn"t think interviews were necessary. Councilmember Arnold stated that
until there is better criteria of the Committee"s purpose, she is strongly
opposed to this type of Committee. Councilmember Bowman stated he will
support the formation of this Committee with the functions as outlined by the
Public Works Director.
It was moved by Councilmember Kanel and seconded by Councilmember Kerry to
approve the proposed Cypress Advisory Tree Committee formation, direct staff
to solicit the nomination of committee representatives for submittal and
appointment at the June 11, 1990 City Council meeting or a future meeting at
which the nominations can be appropriately presented to Council. The motion

City Council Minutes May 14, 1990
Mayor Age announced that the following items
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF CITY MANAGER"S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT and
CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF MID-MANAGEMENT SALARY RANGES
NEW BUSINESS will be discussed during Closed Session later in the meeting.
CONSIDERATION OF INFORMATION REGARDING THE ADOPTION OF THE AIR INSTALLATION
COMPATIBLE USE ZONES BY THE AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION FOR THE AREA
SURROUNDING THE LOS ALAMITOS ARMED FORCES RESERVE CENTER: Mayor Age remarked
that this is a very important item that she requested be placed on the Agenda
for discussion this evening. She stated there is much information that needs
to be brought to the attention of the citizens and asked the City Manager to
respond. The City Manager stated that recently the City staff had a meeting
with representatives of Airport Land Use Commission They advised that there
was going to be consideration of having the Commission adopt Air Installation
Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ), which would establish clear zones or accident
potential zones around the Los Alamitos Army Reserve Station. The adoption of
these zones would create a definite impact on all of the surrounding cities
and a substantial impact on land uses that would be developed which would have
to go before the Airport Land Use Commission before any activity could take
place.
Councilmember Kanel remarked that the adoption of AICUZ not only impacts the
Cypress Business Park but also thousands of residences, not only in Cypress
but Stanton, Buena Park, Anaheim and Garden Grove and will cause home
valuation to change.
Mr. John Chevalier, President of Aviation Systems Associates, an aviation
consulting firm, 28441 High Ridge Road, Rolling Hills Estates, provided some
background information on AICUZ. There are certain criteria in the Department
of Defense regulations to service commands and there are three different
categories: 1) light-type aircraft; 2) heavy jet fighter activity; and 3)
helicopter operations. He explained the nomenclature used to describe the
various zones and what type of land use is allowed in each of the zones.
Responding to questions from the Council, Mr. Chevalier explained that the
objective of the program in the military is to develop AICUZ and recommend
them to the local zoning people, including Airport Land Use Commissions for
adoption and for application in zoning and building permit actions.
The City Attorney commented that generally the City has zoning authority and
comes into contact with the Airport Land Use Commission because there is an
air field adjacent to the City and the Commission has the requirement to adopt
land use plans on a County-wide basis. Every time a project falls within the
purview of the ALUC plan, it would have to be submitted to the Land Use
Commission.
Councilmember Arnold asked Mr. Chevalier why he thought this plan had already
been adopted and he responded he didn"t believe that if it were just a draft
document, it would have been given to the Airport Land Use Commission for
consideration. If it has not been officially adopted, then that fact should
be established, but it was his belief that it was considered by the Air Base
to be an adopted document.
The City Attorney remarked that if the County Airport Land Use Commission
thinks it is a plan they ought to adopt and it becomes a part of the Land Use
plan then it affects the City directly. It appears that the Army Reserve
Center didn"t follow the National Environmental Policy Act in developing the
AICUZ Plan.
Responding to Councilmember Kanel, the City Attorney recommended that the City
Council request an additional 30 day continuance to allow the staff of the
Airport Land Use Commission and the property owners and the cities around the
airport to meet with the military and take into consideration the views of the
people. Secondly, the Council may wish to consider some form of Resolution
that may be submitted to other cities indicating the Council"s position.
Mr. Mark Armbruster, 2029 Century Park East, Los Angeles, representing Cypress
Land Company and Wayland Investments, reported that there are several pages of

information in the Department of Defense instructions stating they are to have
community input, meet with the cities and with affected property owners. It
has a tremendous impact on the business park owners, the city and the homes.
He emphasized that no one is here to escape any safety issues, he didn't
believe it was a safety problem and the purpose of the May 21 meeting is to
reevaluate the purpose of the "final study."
It was moved by Councilmember Kanel and seconded by Councilmember Kerry
formalize a Resolution requesting an extension of an additional 30 days, the
City Manager to ask the sister cities that are affected by AICUZ to do the
same, and directed staff to compose a Resolution of the position Council might
take to be transmitted to other cities which will be brought back at the next
meeting. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call vote:

CONSIDERATION OF Sl16LEASE WITH THE GREATER LONG BEACH CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS FOR
THE OXFORD FACILITY: The City Manager advised that when the Council had
approved the Conditional Use Permit for the Greater Long Beach Christian
Schools to occupy the Oxford facility, it was contingent upon the successful
negotiation of the lease between the City and the Greater Long Beach Christian
Schools and the approval of the Anaheim Union High School District. He
explained that certain areas have been reserved for sporting activities, areas
for the ROP sublease, storage areas and the Cultural Arts facility. He also
explained the conditions of the lease and the lease amount.
Councilmember Bowman asked about the first right of refusal and voiced his
opposition to a first right of refusal because it is not of any benefit to the
City of Cypress.
Respondiny to Councilmember Kanel, the City Manager answered that the District
is aware that the City is pursuing a lease with the Greater Christian Schools.
There is a questien now as to whether the School Board would favor this type
of lease and the reason it hasn"t been taken to the District is because the
lease was under negotiation.
Mr. Chuck Hicks, 10669 Charles Circle, Cypress, a member of the Board of
Trustees for the Anaheim Union High School District, stated that the question
of the lease has not been discussed in open forum; however, the Board is aware
of the negotiations.
Councilmember Kanel suggested that the Administrators of the City, Anaheim
Union School District and Greater Long Beach Christian Schools attempt to
resolve the issue. The City Manager responded that it was his understanding
that there was a meeting scheduled between the District and the Christian
School. Mayor Age recommended that the City Manager attend that meeting.
Councilmember Kanel suggested that the Council hear from the Superintendent of
the Christian Schools to determine, if possible, the status of the
negotiations.
The City Attorney recommended that the Council consider the lease on its
merits and take action on that. The sublease has a provision in which it does
not become effective unless its approved by the Board.

City Council Minutes May 14, 1990
After further discussion, Councilmember Arnold stated she was in favor of
discussing the merits of the lease agreement. Councilmember Kerry suggested
continuing this item to allow the District and the Christian Schools an
opportunity to meet.
Mr. Dennis Brown, Superintendent of Greater Long Beach Christian Schools,
stated the primary concern of the Anaheim Union High School District is that
the Christian Schools would be competing for their students. He stated that
the Christian Schools exist solely for the students of their feeder elementary
schools and they have no intention of attempting to recruit public high school
students.
Councilmember Bowman asked Mr. Brown if he would object if the first right of
refusal were removed from the lease agreement. Mr. Brown stated that they
hoped to lease the facility for an extended period of time, upgrade the
facility, which would put them in a financial position where a right of first
refusal is a good trade off. At the same time, he would like to discuss some
of the terms of the lease and work out some things that would be to the best
interests of both sides.
The City Manager explained that the intent was if the City gets a master lease
extension then they would have the first right of refusal; however, if the
District decided to sell the property and the City wanted to purchase the
property then they also want the first option to lease that facility since
they would have spent considerable money in improvements and renovation.
Councilmember Kanel commented that he didn"t see any problem continuing this
item, there are problems and he would like to have the City Manager attend the
meeting tomorrow to determine the extent of the concern. Councilmember Kerry
did not see a problem in continuing the item because the issue needs to be
addressed. Councilmember Arnold stated that is zoned PS and there are limited
uses for the site, a conditional use permit has been approved and she sees no
reason to change the lease because there might be a problem with the School
Board.
It was moved by Councilmember Kerry and seconded by Councilmember Kanel to
continue this item to the May 29, 1990 meeting. The motion carried by the
following roll call vote:
AYES: 4 COUNCILMEMBERS: Bowman, Kanel, Kerry and Age

it to the Council to determine the direction the Council wishes to take, if
any, in imposing restrictions on vehicles of a certain length.

who can regulate the parking on city streets and the state has preempted local
jurisdictions from passing any regulations, but there are some areas where the
City may be able to act.

on the November ballot to see what the citizens want. Mayor Age requested the
