SECOND READING ORDINANCE RE: HOTEL ROOM TAX ORDINANCE: A report dated July
23, 1964, was presented from the City Manager, stating that a survey of the
Orange County cities which have taken action on the Hotel Room Iax Ordinance
indicates that there is no definite pattern as to establishing a special fund
for rcvenues from this ordinance. Since the City 6f Cypress will not be
receiving a great amount of revenue from the enactment of this Ordinance, it
does not appear feasible to amend the Ordinance to designate the revenue to
be used in a special fund.
It was moved by Councilman Corzeman, seconded by Councilman Kanel, and
unanimously carried, the following Ordinance be adopted, title as follows:

into consideration.
July 27, 1964
The City Attorney advised the Council not to place itself in a position of
jeopardy with respect to its activities concerning this Zone Change, stating
that the law clearly indicates that the Council cannot grant or deny zoning
requests based on what other governmental agencies want to do with the property,
such as the Park Dtstrictlin this case.
Mr. Robert Doerr, 5207 Cumberland Drive, Cypress, addressed the Council, stating
that the subject of parks should not enter into consideration of this zone change,
but that it s~ould only be considered on the merits of whether or not it is in
the best interest of the citizens of Cypress.
Mr. Richard Owen, representing the Robert H. Grant Company, addressed the
Council, referring to maps prepared by his Company showing the use of the property
in the area adjacent to the requested zone change. Mr.~en stated that as owner
of the property on the northwest corner of Ball and Walker, across from the subject
zone change, he is in favor of the proposed use since it will create "buying
power" for the proposed commercial area on his property. Yr. Owen read a
communication from the Grant Company's leasing agent concerning this area.
Mr. James Duncan, 9582 South Walker Street, Cypress, addressed the Council,
speaking in favor of the proposed change of zone.

a previous meeting concerning rezoning a parcel of land by means of an emergency

since the purpose of the ordinance was not to freeze the land use for the
purpose of acquisition by another public agency.

Councilman Oorzeman inqui red if there was a time limit as to the number of
times the second reading of the subject ordinance could be considered. The

Discussion was held concerning the status of the Park [)istrict~s desire to
locate a park on a portion of the subject property.

that it would be the policy of the developer not to negotiate for sale of a
portion of the land until the zoning was obtained.
July 27, 1964
'~r. Richard ~wen, representing the Robert H. Crant Company, addressed the
Council, requesting the City Attorney to render an opinion regarding whether
this could be considered a case of "inverse condemmation" and whether or not
there is a State law making Councilmen or officials of the City personally liable
when they knowingly do something that is illegal or causes a financial burden
upon the conm~unity and they have been advised that these are the facts,
Councilman John Kanel objected to peraons in the audience requesting a
ruling from the City Attorney, who is responsible to the City Council,
Councilman Gorzems~ requested that for his information he would like the
City Attorney to answer the questions submitted by Mr. Ow~n.
City Attom~ey It. Rodger Itowell advised that from the information he has there is
a liability on the part of Councilmen a~d recent decisions more clearly spell o~t
the obligation of the City Council as a trustee of the public interest. If a
Councilman Rnowingly acts in bad faith on a matter before the City Council, a
personal suit can be brought against him and the normal legislative immunity will
not protect him, The City Attorney further advised taht in his opinion a City
may by its conduct inversely condenm property rights, for which compensation must
be paid.
