Following the review of the various alternatives outlined in the Engineer- ing report, the Public Works Director suggested that the City Council consider Study "E" as the best plan for riBpermanent drainage solution in the subject area. Considerable discussion was held regarding the merits of Study "E" for the ultimate drainage solution in the area as compared to the possibility of providing a drainage system which would directly enter into the Coyote Creek Channel. The Public Works Director emphasized that during a project design storm, runoff waters from the City of Cypress could not enter the Coyote Creek Channel due to the fact that the water surface in the channel was higher than the surrounding ground level. The Public Works Director further indicated that it was for this reason that the Los Angeles County Flood Control District required inlets into the Flood Control District channel to be provided with flapgates, which would guarantee that local flood waters would not enter into the channel during the peak storm periods. The City Manager explained that all previous engineering studies concerning drainage in District 2-A, using the storm design standards which were being used throughout the City, had indicated that a pump station would be required for storm waters entering the Coyote Creek Channel. Councilman McCarney indicated that in his opinion a reasonable solution to the problem would be the construction of a storm drain system that would enter the Coyote Creek Channel. Mr. Henry Neishi, 9119 Bloomfield, Cypress, addressed the Council, expressing his desire to drain his property into the Coyote Creek Channel. The City Manager advised the Council that the Engineering Department was studying a proposal which had been submitted by Mr. Neishi. Mr. Peter Van Ruiten, 9432 South Bloomfield, Cypress, addressed the Council and reviewed a drainage plan which he indicated would adequately drain his property into the Coyote Creek Channel. Following considerable discussion regarding Mr. Van Ruiten's drainage plan, Councilman Bowen moved to take these drainage studies of the subject area under advisement and further request the Public Works Director to review these plans with Mr. Van Ruiten, with the results of these discussions to be reviewed at the next City Council meeting. Upon the suggestion of the P~blic Works Director, Councilman Bowen further included in his motion the requirement that Mr. Van Ruiten's study be prepared and signed by a Registered Civil Engineer. Councilman Kanel seconded this motion; however, prior to voting, further discussion was held. October 10, 1966 In answer to a question from Councilman Harvey, the Public Works Director indicated that he had previously reviewed Study "E" with Mr. Van Ruiten and had not, to this date, been advised of the study which Mr. Van Ruiten had presented at the Council meeting. In response to a request from Councilman McCarney, Mr. Art Rosenthai, Engineer for the Larwin Company, addressed the Council, indicating that his Company had made a similar study of the possibility of draining their properties into the Coyote Creek Channel, which study indicated this was not a feasible solution to the drainage problem due to the water elevation of the channel as compared to the elevation of the adjacent property. The Mayor called for a vote on Councilman Bowen's motion, which failed to carry by the following roll call vote: AYES: 2 COUNCILMEN: NOES: 3 COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEN: Bowen and Kanel Harvey, McCarney, and Not None It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Councilman Bowen to accept the following recommendations of the Public Works Director: To approve the study of the alternates proposed for the area bounded by Orange and ~incoln Avenues between Denni and Bloomfield in M~ster Plan of Drainage District 2-A, and approve Alternate "E" as the drainage system for this area. All developments in this area shall be required to provide a satisfactory arrangement for construction of the Master Plan facilities approved in this report, as required to drain the proposed development and affected upstream and downstream areas, prior to approval of any development in this area. That the contract for final study and design of the drainage system be awarded by the City Council, insuring City control of the design; and that the final design be postponed until such time as it is determined that the necessary funding, rights-of-way, and easements can be obtained.

APPOINTMENT OF PARK NAMING COMMITTEE: The City Manager presented a report dated October 5, 1966, outlining thepurpose and time limit for a park naming study to be undertaken by a Citizens Committee, as requested by the City Council. The City Manager further indicated that the Larwin Company had requested consideration in the naming of the park site at Moody and Myra due to their involvement in the dedication and improvement of the park site. The following persons were suggested to serve on the Park Naming Comanittee: Mayor Not nominated Mr. Robert Cardora; Councilman Harvey nominated Mrs. Bobbi Sison; Councilman Kanel nominated Mr. Denny Dowell, with Mr. John Schuler to serve as alternate; Councilman McCarney nominated Mrs. Jean Smith; and Councilman Bowen nominated Mrs. Donald Miller· Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Councilman McCarney to appoint the above-nominated individuals to the Park Naming Committee for the purpose of recommending a policy for park naming in the community, with a report to be submitted within thirty days, and further with Cypress Park and Recreation District Director Charles Bryant to be included as an ex-officio member of the Committee.

The major problem foreseen by the staff in such a proposal was the future median strip required on Moody Street, which would prevent left- hand turn movements from Moody Street into the access road or left-hand turn movements from the access road onto Moody Street. Since the property in question is located within the County unincorporated area, the official approval would be secured from the applicable Orange County departments. It was moved by Councilman McCarney, seconded by Councilman Harvey, and unanimously carried, to instruct the City Manager to transmit the information contained in his report to Mr. Van Ruiten, with a copy to the St. Irenaeus Church officials.
