Brigadier General James Combs made a presentation to the C;ty Council in regard to a proposed composting facility at the Joint Forces Training E& Se. He stated that the primary motivation and vision of the project is that it is consistent with the Department of Defense and the Department of the Army guidelines with re; and to going to zero cost requirements for the sustainment of installations within the Arm,, system. General Combs stated that the proposed composting facility would be strictly for green waste, with the goals to include a reduction in water consumption, a reduction of carbon footprint, and an increase of value in the surrounding communities. The City Manager suggested that the Cypress, Los Alamitos, and Seal Beach Mayors meet and lobby the congressional delegation for the $60 million needed in deferred maintenance for the Joint Forces Training Base's infrastructure. Mayor Pro Tern Narain commented that he concurs with the suggestion that the three cities meet. 343 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 22, 2009 Council Member Mills stated that he views the $1 million composting facility project and the $60 million in deferred maintenance for the Joint Forces Training Base as two separate issues. He further commented that lobbying for funding for the deferred maintenance would not include the composting facility project. He stated that the focus should be on what can be done to make this project happen, instead of what can be done to keep the project from happening. Council Member Seymore asked about the statement in General Combs' handout that states that green waste composting would reduce water consumption by 30% and the carbon footprint by 50% on the Base. Bill Camarillo, Agromin Premium Soil Products, spoke of composting processes. Mayor Bailey stated that traffic engineering should have been done and needs to be done in order to determine possible traffic mitigation issues. He also asked if there is a Master Site Plan. General Combs responded that approximately one year ago a Real Property Development Plan for the entire Base was done. Mayor Bailey stated that he feels that General Combs' main focus should be on training and keeping our military ready and alert and that development be done locally in conjunction with all of the cities' input. He asked if the mission of the proposed composting facility is to keep the Base open. General Combs replied that he is obligated under Federal law to do a Real Property Development Plan. He stated that the City of Cypress did not coordinate the Costco and the Cottonwood Church developments with the Base's Real Property Development Plan. The City Manager clarified that for two years the City of Cypress sent letters to the Army Corps of Engineers and the National Guard requesting all notifications, including notices of exemption, and that the City failed to receive anything from either organization. Furthermore, he stated that his recollection serves that during the discussions on the helicopters for the Los Angeles County Sheriff, the cities were in a similarly upsetting situation as with this project, and stressed the importance of keeping the communities closely consulted. General Combs stated that the City Manager makes valid points. Mayor Bailey asked if there is a planning engineer on the Base's staff who would be familiar with state, local and federal guidelines, procedures, and policies. General Combs responded that there is not a planner on staff, but there is an environmentalist. Mayor Bailey suggested consulting services to assist with traffic mitigation. Council Member Seymore asked about the assumption that the proposed project would generate $1 million in revenues. General Combs clarified that the proposed project would generate $1 million of in-kind services. Council Member Mills stated that this workshop is an opportunity for all of the agencies involved to establish a mechanism and a process to collaboratively work together. He suggested that the groups meet face-to-face and begin the process. Council Member Luebben concurred with Council Member Mills, stating that he does not have a problem with the proposed composting facility.

Mayor Pro Tern Narain asked about the speed limit increase on Valley View between Ball Road and Lincoln Avenue and enforcement of speeding. The Associate Engineer stated that the speed limit increase is based on a traffic study of the area and the rate of speed that cars are already being driven. It is not anticipated that the cars' speed limits will increase. He stated that the Police Department will continue to enforce traffic speed limits. The Police Lieutenant stated that enforcement is and will continue, especially near Cypress High School.

Mr. Miller stated that the basic speed law in California states that 85% of drivers are driving reasonably and safely; the remaining 15% are the ones who are going to be cited. He informed that if a speed limit is artificially lowered, drivers who are reasonable and safe will drive the speed that they feel is appropriate for that area.

He stated that he does not have a problem with holding the City Council meeting during Thanksgiving week, and is not strongly in favor of cancelling the November 23, 2009 meeting.
