Also present were City Manager/City Clerk Darrell Essex and Public Works

the Central Orange County Fixed Guideway Agency.
WORKSHOP SESSION: Proposed Light Rail System.
Mr. Shuter reviewed the status of the light rail project and indicated that
they were in the very early stages of the process and this was the first
workshop with the local government regarding the light rail alternatives.
Mr. Shuter then introduced Ms. Kay VanSickle, Deputy Director of the Rail
Program Office, Orange County Transportation Authority and Paul Taylor of DKS
Associates, consulting firm.
Discussion was held with the City Council regarding the potential impacts on
the community in the event the Pacific Electric rail line was selected as the
connecting link to the Los Angeles County rail system. Concerns were
expressed by the Council regarding property values, noise and other
environmental impacts on adjacent properties and traffic impacts at major
street crossings.
During the discussion, it was suggested that information be provided to the
City Council during the public hearing regarding impacts of light rail systems
in other areas which were similar to the City of Cypress.
Following the discussion, it was agreed that the consultant would obtain the
additional information either in writing or by having representatives attend
the public hearing to testify on the impacts of the light rail system in their
respective areas. Mr. Shuter indicated that every attempt would be made to
have this information available at the April 13 City Council meeting but he
was not sure of the availability of the representatives from the other
agencies with such short notice.
ADJOURNMENT: It was moved by Councilmember Bowman and seconded by
Councilmember Nicholson to adjourn the meeting. Mayor Partin adjourned the
meeting at 6:15 p.m.
