report which advised that the City council had asked staff to research the number of
secondhand dealers currently located within the City. The Council also directed staff to

such a concentration exists. AS of November 14, 1996, there were a total of 14
secondhand businesses with special Permits to operate within the City of cypress. Based
on the type of merchandise being taken in and/or resold, the businesses may also
require a permit from the State Department of Justice.
Council member Jones asked the City Attorney to comment on this subject. The City
Attorney said that the Council has a degree of flexibility in considering these types of
businesses. The concentration is a factor simply because of the nature of the business
and the licensing regulations. When there Is one business, on a case-by-case basis, that
tips the balance, the Council has the discretion to consider that factor in deciding
whether to grant or deny a permit for a secondhand business.
Councilmember Jones suggested that an updated map and the types of secondhand
businesses, would be helpful addition in considering permits for future secondhand
businesses.
It was moved by Councilmember Jones and seconded by Council member Bowman to
receive and file the report. The motion unanimously carried by the following roll call

Councllmembers and asked questions about the purchase of the wood chipper and the
condition of the old chipper, which were answered by the Public Works Director. Mr.
Wesllng asked why the street sweepers working in the south end of the City didn't go
directly to the recycling center rather than back to the corporate Yard.
Mr. Mike Gritchen, 11619 Malden street, cypress, congratulated the two new
Councilmembers. He commented that he didn't believe that recall elections or recall
campaigns are divisive. He believed the need for and the cause of a recall is what is
divisive and he sees little need for that kind of action In the future with the current
Council.
Ms. Marie Hall, representing the cypress POPS Orchestra, welcomed the two newest
members of the City council and the new City Manager. She thanked the
Councilmembers for their support of the POPS orchestra and they will be performing on

"White Christmas."
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, cypress, said he was present to warn the new
Councilmembers about the upcoming meeting of the League of California Cities where
they will be brainwashed into thinking their primary job is to keep the City coffers filled,
but their primary dUty is to represent the people of cypress.
Councilmember Jones addressed the Issue of repealing the recentlY approved Truancy
Ordinance and hoped that some other type of program could be Implemented. She
asked that this be placed on the next meeting's agenda. subsequent to that, there
should be some language that would prevent enactment of the current ordinance.
Another item was the Sales Tax Revenue issue and access to information on sales and
use tax records. Based on the City Attorney's analysis, the conclusion is that any officer
or employee of City may be designated by Resolution to have this information.
AlthoUgh the information Is confidential, It Is accessible to the Council. She asked this
be placed on the January 13 Council agenda to repeal Resolution 958 and draft a new
resolution allowing council members, as well as the Finance Director and the City
Manager, access to this information to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting or
the first meeting in January.
Council member Jones referred to a draft resolution received from the Citizens for Jobs
and the Economy and she asked that a resolution or letter be sent from the Council
supporting the conversion of EI Toro for commercial use. councilmember Bowman
mentioned that the enforceability of an ordinance needed to be addressed and he
understood that any ordinance had to be enforced until it is actuallY repealed. The City
Attorney agreed but he advised that the Council can direct the Police Department to
stay enforcement pending enactment and adoption.

supportive she has been.

December 9, the date of the next regular City Council meeting, is also the kick-off
meeting for annual cypress COllege Americana Awards. Mayor Carroll asked the
Councilmembers if there were any objections to adjourning the Council meeting to
December 10,1996. The City Manager noted that there were several pUblic hearings set
for December 9,1996 and asked the City Attorney if the appropriate action was to
continue those hearings to December 10,1996. The City Attorney advised that there
needed to be a minute order from the Council advising staff to continue those hearings
so they can comply with the noticing requirements, unless they have already been sent
out. The community Development Director said that notices have been sent to the
newspaper and they will call the paper early next morning to make the change in the
publication. If that cannot be done, the hearings will be renoticed. The pUblic hearing
notices have not been sent out to the residents.
