'" The Associate Planner provided background information on this item. Mayor Luebben commented that the monopalms do not look that realistic and questioned if the palm tree needed to be larger. The Associate Planner reported that it is the nature of the tree; a palm has a more sparse organization of its branches and foliage. This is not a perfect or total screening of the antennas because of the nature of the co-location, height, and types of trees that are already in the area. Council Member Mills asked about the frequencies for public safety and types of analyses on RFI and EMI. The Associate Planner reported that there have been concerns regarding interference with the police frequencies and as a result, there are conditions of approval in all antenna permits. The public hearing was opened. The applicant, Laura Bishop, Royal Street Communications, discussed the antenna upgrade. She indicated that the antennas could be set within the palm fronds and that could be made a condition of approval. They will also be painted green to blend in. Mayor Luebben asked if the antenna is set tighter within the palm fronds, would that decrease the effectiveness of the antenna. Ms Bishop stated that the effectiveness would not decrease and that the palm fronds are designed for each site. The antennas are set as close to the pole as they can, with adequate signal propagations. 4 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 26, 2007 Mayor Luebben asked the applicant how they find sites to place additional antennas. Ms Bishop responded that most carriers will try to co-locate on an existing site. If that is not possible, they will go on a rooftop facility that is fully screened. Mayor Luebben asked about the lack of adequate cell coverage for the south part of the city near Orangewood. Ms Bishop said that system engineers design the entire system and they are usually in- house for each carrier. They determine where they need more coverage, based on existing cell sites that tell them if they are dropping or missing calls.

Regarding Item No. 11: SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FOR DATA TICKET CONTRACTED SERVICE, Mayor Luebben asked for additional information on this item. The Chief of Police stated that Data Ticket governs all parking citations. The Police Department issues a citation and the collection of that is handled by Data Ticket, not the City. They charge the City a $.75 fee per ticket and recoup 30% of whatever fine is paid out by the offender. There is also a portion of that citation that is revenue generated back to the City of Cypress. 6 373 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 26, 2007 Mayor Luebben asked the Chief of Police if Data Ticket was the only one on the market for this area. The Chief of Police did not know but indicated that each year staff evaluates who is best suited to provide this service to the City. In the case of Data Ticket, the City has had a very strong relationship with them and have had only a handful, if any, complaints. It was moved by Mayor Luebben and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Seymore, that the City Council authorize a supplemental appropriation of $22,000 from the Unreserved Balance of the General Fund to 4187-11-173-05 (Other Contract Services -Private).

It was moved by Mayor Luebben and seconded by Council Member Narain, that the City Council adopt the Ordinance by title only, amending Section 25-46 of the Cypress City Code and Establishing Park Development Fees Within the City of Cypress. The motion was carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 3 COUNCIL MEMBERS: Bailey, Narain and Luebben NOES: 2 COUNCIL MEMBERS: Mills and Seymore ABSENT: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ORDINANCE NO. 1088 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 25-46 OF THE CYPRESS CITY CODE AND ESTABLISHING PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES WITHIN THE CITY OF CYPRESS. Item No. 15: SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 3-4 TO CHAPTER 3 OF THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO ANIMAL CONTROL AND BARKING DOGS. The Administrative Services Manager provided information on this item. She clarified that the ordinance clearly defines what is a "barking dog", a dog that is incessantly barking for a period of 30 minutes or more, or intermittently, constantly for an hour or more. Council Member Mills encouraged Ms. Escobar to obtain a copy of the ordinance. He felt she would be reassured that this is a good ordinance. Council Member Bailey stated that he also thought it was important that people read the ordinance to avoid misunderstanding about a barking dog. He explained that it was not cost-effective for the City of Cypress to employ its own animal control services, so Cypress is one of numerous Orange County cities that contract this out. Mayor Luebben commented that there is much misinformation out there, but the Administrative Services Manager has done a lot to try and get the correct information 7 374 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 26, 2007 out to the public to reduce people's fears and apprehensions. He stated that staff is obligated to bring back an evaluation in one year. It was moved by Council Member Narain and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Seymore, that the City Council adopt the Ordinance by title only, adding Section 3-4 to Chapter 3 of the Code of the City of Cypress relating to animal control and barking dogs. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCIL MEMBERS: Bailey, Mills, Narain, Seymore and Luebben NOES: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ORDINANCE NO. 1089 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS, ADDING SECTION 3-4 TO CHAPTER 3 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS RELATING TO ANIMAL CONTROL AND BARKING DOGS. NEW BUSINESS: Item No. 16: PARTICIPATION IN THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY'S "GO LOCAL" GRANT FUNDING PROGRAM. The Public Works Director provided background information on this item. Mayor Luebben asked for clarification on what the funding will be used for. Jean Spinner Lemar, Orange County Transportation Authority, Project Manager for the "Go Local" Program, responded that Cypress would be partnering with Buena Park and receiving a benefit for its citizens. She stated that OCTA would like Cypress to identify, with consultation with Buena Park, what it wants out of asub-regional transit study of a three-city analysis. For this funding, the City needs to do a transit assessment in the sub- regional area and how the City would access Metrolink. Mayor Luebben commented that there are several funding sources related to Measure M, which provides direct benefit to Cypress. This particular source of funds has to have a link to rapid transit, specifically to Metrolink. Ms Lemar explained that there is $1 billion in the new Measure M and there is also $250 million in new Measure M for community-transit services. Mayor Pro Tem Seymore commented that the return on investment is larger if Cypress partners with other cities and that Cypress should receive approximately $35 million in Measure M funds. Council Member Bailey asked what and when will the net result of these studies be concluded. Council Member Mills commented that the City's effort could be negated by incompatibilities with those other cities with respect to Metrolink. By partnering with them, Cypress will know what the compatibilities are, play in the analyses, and those interfaces can come together, rather than being on the outside doing astand-alone study. Mayor Pro Tem Seymore stated that he felt Cypress should partner with La Palma and Buena Park because of the route to the Metrolink station. Mayor Luebben stated that he did not want to spend taxpayer funds foolishly and that unless the City maintains standing in directing how the funds work and actually be an involved partner, not just a funding mechanism with Buena Park, he would not be in favor of this. 375 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 26, 2007 The Public Works Director explained that when the City does the partnering agreement, it is not going to transfer its $85,000 until their scope of work has been approved for the consultant, to insure that the scope of work serves Cypress. It was moved by Mayor Luebben and seconded by Council Member Seymore, that the City Council: 1) Authorize the City Manager to execute a Cooperative Agreement between the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and the City of Cypress for City-initiated transit extensions to Metrolink; and 2) Authorize the City Manger to negotiate and execute a Partnering Agreement between the City of Cypress and the City of Buena Park to conduct a feeder service transit connection study under the OCTA "Go Local" Program. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCIL MEMBERS: Bailey, Mills, Narain, Seymore and Luebben NOES: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None Item No. 17: CONSIDERATION OF OPPOSITION TO IRVINE RANCH WATER DISTRICT'S PROPOSAL TO ANNEX LAND INTO THE ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT'S BOUNDARIES DUE TO IMPACTS TO ORANGE COUNTY'S GROUNDWATER SYSTEM. The Administrative Services Manager provided background information on this item. Patrick Scanlon and Diana Leach, representatives from Golden State Water Company, were present to answer any questions. Mr. Scanlon provided additional information on the annexation and shifting of costs. He explained that this would be a cost shift from Irvine Ranch Water District to everyone else in the basin. Golden State Water Company does not oppose the annexation per se; they oppose the shifting of the cost from Irvine residents to residents of Cypress and other cities. Mayor Luebben questioned on how much of an effect this opposition to annexation would have on the Orange County Water District. Mr. Scanlon stated that this would have a very large impact and that the Orange County Water District wants to hear from the cities. It was moved by Council Member Mills and seconded by Council Member Narain, that the City Council oppose the proposal by the Irvine Ranch Water District to annex 38,900 acres of land into the Orange County Water District (OCWD) as this will increase water rates and reduce water supply for the City of Cypress. Staff will then direct communications of opposition to OCWD's Board of Directors. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCIL MEMBERS: Bailey, Mills, Narain, Seymore and Luebben NOES: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS: None RECREATION & PARK DISTRICT MATTERS: The Cypress City Council, Acting as the Ex Officio Governing Board of Directors.
