The City Manager stated that the Airport Conmission will be conducting a Public Hearing on the use of the Los Alamitos Naval Air 8tation property on November 30, 1970, following which, Councilman Kenode indicated that he felt the City should take a position relative to this matter. It was moved by Councilman Roberrs, seconded by Counciln~m Lacayo and unanimously carried to place the consideration of this item on the agenda at this time. Councilman Roberrs urged that a part of the City's position in this matter be a Joint effort between the cities upon which this decision would have an immediate impact, to work together to establish a concept as to what should ultimately be developed in the entire area. Discussion ensued with regard to what the City's position would be relative to the use of the facility for aviation purposes. COuncilmm~ Fanode indicated that the base might eventually be converted to use for general aviation purposes; however, the City should take a strong position against commercial aviation, and should have a voice on the ultimate planning of the area. The City Attorney requested that the adoption of a Resolution expressing the City's position be deferred until the legal aspects have been considered. At the suggestion of Councilman Roberts, it was decided that a verbal presentation conveying the City's viewpoints would be presented at the Airport Commission Public Hearing.

The City Manager then stated t h a t d u tin g the past few days, the City has encountered a situation which involves the requirements whic~ ~ere adopted some time ago, for Conditional Use Permits for all establishments which plan to serve alcoholic beverages. He indicated that this requirement was originally established to control an influx of beer bars into the City; however, since that time, the word "restaurant" has been re-defined in the City Code, which in itself allows control. He further indicated that after a Staff review of this matter, it appeared that this should be corrected, and that the City Attorney has drafted an Urgency Ordinance eliminating the requirement until further study can be given to this matter° At the request of Councilman Kenode, the City Attorney read the definition of "restaurant" as worded in the City Code. It was moved by Councilmen Lacayo, seconded by Councilman Kanode and unanimously carried to place the consideration of this item on the agenda as Item No. 26.

Councilman~Kanode then indicated that he would like to have this item, which is Item No. 7 on the agenda, removed from the "Consent Calendar." There being no further oral communications presented at this time, Councilmen Kanode stated that he would like to place on the agenda, an item relative to the Cypress Recreation and Park District, which bad been brought to his attention by some citizens of the community. It was moved by Councilman Kanode, seconded by Councilman Harvey and unanimously carried to place this item on the agenda for consideration at this time. Councilman Kanode stated that a number of persons have expressed concern regarding the transition of the Recreation and Park District from the Board of Supervisors to the City Council as the governing body. Councilman Kanode further stated that he felt that the Council owed it to the community to express its; intent, and proposed that the City Council adopt a Resolution of Intention which would state that the City Council would serve as the Board of Directors of the Cypress Recreation and Park District without pay;and that the City Manager would be appointed as a Manager of the District to serve without pay; and that the City Manager be authorized to take all necessary actions acting on behalf of the City Council to expedite the transition of the responsibilities of governing the Cypress Recreation and Perk District from the Board of Supervisors to the City Council; and finally, that the City Manager be authorized, acting on behalf of the City Council, to coordinate the development of the Cypress Recreation and Park District budget for the 1971-72 fiscal year with Bryant as Director of the Cypress Recreation and Park District. It was moved by Councilman Kanode and seconded by Councilman Harvey to adopt the following Resolution by title only, title as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 1122 A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION OF CITY COUNCIL POLICY IN THE TRANSFER OF THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CYPRESS RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPER- VISORS TO THE CYPRESS CITY COUNCIL. Councilman Harvey indicated that he seconded the motion for the sake of discussion, In response to an inquiry from Councilman Harvey, Councilman [.anode stated that the purpose of the Rasolution would be to give the City Manager the authority of representing the viewpoints of this City Council and thereby assisting with the orderly transition of the District from the Board of Supervisors to the City Council, which would also establish a better relationship between the Park and Recreation employees and the City Council. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Lacayo, Councilman Kayode stated that this would be a public statement as to the intentions of the City Council, In answer to inquiries from Councilman Harvey, the City Manager stated that the matter of the City Council becoming the governing body of the Recreation and Park District has been approved by both the Local Agency Formation CommisSion and the Board of Supervisors, and will become effective on July 1, 1971; and that normally, the City's budget studies begin in April; however, since the budget for the Recreation and Park District will be a new item, he would prefer to consider it earlier than that date. Councilman Roberrs then reviewed the four points which Councilman Kanode had suggested for incorporation in the Resolution of Intention. In answer to a question from Cooncilmml Roberrs, the City Attorney advised that the meeting ', i ..'L]~ .~ouncil Minutes November 23, 1970 of the Council sitting as the City Council and sitting as the Board of Directors of the District would, unless other provisions are made, be held on the same night and as part of the same regular meeting. Councilman Roberrs then stated that he would certainly support the Board of Directors being the City Council and that they serve without pay. He added. however, that he felt that the Council should meet on a separate night, since this is a policy position that the Council is taking and could be changed with time. Councilrosa Robarts indicated that the assignment of the City Manager to act as the Manager of the District, without pay, would violate a former position that the City Council took by Resolution, in which the City Council resolved to retain all employees of the District in their positions. He stated that the assignment of the City Manager as the secretary to the Council to do whatever is necessary during the transition period is paramount and should be adopted, It was then moved by Councilman Roberrs and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to amend Councilman Kanode's motion to include that the City Council become a Board of Directors without pay, to meet on an alternate evening than that of a regular meeting of the City Council, and to delete the item which would establish the City Manager without pay to be the Manager of the Recreation and Park District. Coumcilman Kenode stated that he disagreed with the amendments as offered by Councilman Reberte as he considered the night in which the Board of Directors met to be irrelevant, and that the Resolution which previously had been adopted was referring to the employees of the Recreation and Park District and not the managerial position. Councilman Harvey stated that he felt that it will, in the future, be necessary to discuss the ramifications of the Council becoming the governing body of the Recreation and Park District~ however, he would like to leave this matter to the discretion of the Recreation and Park Director and the City Manager. The amendment to the original motion failed to carry by the following roll call vote: AYES: 2 COUNCILMEN: NOES: 3 COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEN: Lacayo and Reberts Harvey, Kanode and Kanel None Councilm~m Reberts stated that as a matter of policy, he does notintend, on this Council or at any time, to make a Resolution in order to gain an end which he does not intend to keep, and that further, when the previous Resolution had been adopted by the City Council, it was his intention to keep the staff of the Recreation and Park District for at least one year while the Council became acquainted with becoming the 8overning body. He further stated that he did not ever intend it to be a ploy between the Local Agency Formation Commission or the Board of Supervisors, and that because of these reasons, although there were many fine qualities to Councilman Kanode's motion, he could not support the motion. Councilman Lacayo indicated that he was in agreement with Councilman Roberrs as he too, felt that the Resolution which had been adopted when the matter of the City Comlcil becoming the governing body of the Recreation and Park District was discussed, was adopted in order to keep the staff intact, and that all of the employees of the Park District would be an asset, not only to the City Council but to the City Manager as well. Councilman Harvey indicated that he was somewhat disturbed as reference had been made that the Council was violating a Resolution which had been adopted to protect the employees of the District, and, which in his opinion, did not have any bearing on this particular Resolution. Councilman Harvey indicated that the Recreation and Park District is the critical individual in this situation, and that he did not feel that this action would be disturbing the balance of the employees of the District in any way, and in fact, would give them an indication that the City is attempting to work out the difficult transition period in as smootha manner as possible, which can only be done through the City Manager's office in ccnJunction with the Director of the Recreation and Park District. Mayor Kanel stated that he concurred with the statement made by Councilman Harvey. -5- City Council Minutes November 23, 1970 -.

CONSIDERATION OF ARESOLUTION FROM THE CITY OF BUENA PARK EPRESSING DISPLEASURE WITH BOARD OF S'UPERVISORS SALARY INCREASE: 'T~&'d~9 ~a~a~ indicated that' 'it was recommended to receive and file the Resolution from the City of Buena Park as this matter is apparently being resolved at the Board level, end it does not effect uhe administrative affairs of the City of Cypress at this time. Mro Richard Parker again addressed the Council urging that a Resolution similar to that adopted by the City of Buena Park, be adopted by the City of Cypress. Mr. Parker indicated that he felt that the City's representation at the supervisory level has not been adequate, end etated that in the near future he will be circulating petitions for a referendum on the salary issue end a recall of the members of the Board of Super%~!sors~ Mr o Vernon Bakke, 5055 Brunswick Drive, Cypress, urged the City Council to adopt a Resolution similar to the one adopted by the City of Buena Park. He then questioned how the Supervisors could raise their salary 95% when employment in the County is so low. Mr. Bakke indicated that as a representative to the Cypress Recreation end Park Advisory Board, he had received very little cooperation from our local county supervisor. -6- City Council Minutes November 23, 1970 Councilman Roberrs stated that the issue which has been presented this evening is not, per se, the salaries of the Supervisors, but the fact that there seems to be some frustration with the City's particular Supervisor. Mayor Kanel then read in full, the Resolution which was adopted by the City of Buena Park. Councilman Kenode indicated that even though this particular measure on the ballot failed to carry in Orange County, it did carry State wide; however, the Board did make the determination to increase their salaries even before a semi-official tabulation had been completed, which, he indicated, was a lack of Judgemsnt on their parto Considerable discussion was held regarding the wording of a Resolution which would be appropriate for the City of Cypress to adopt, should it be the desire of the City Council. Councilman Lacayo indicated that he was not concerned over the fact that the Board of Supervisors chose to increase their salary, but rather the fact that apparently there are many citizens who are dissatisfied with the Supervisor actions in their own districts, and indicated that the Resolution should express the displeasure of the City of Cypress. Councilmea Roberrs stated that he felt the 0range County Board of Supervisors are grossly underpaid and they merit a much improved salary; however, the mannnet in which this occured did the Board a discredit and they should be notifies that it is the City's.desire that they be paid properly, but that it be accomplished in a way that the citizens have access to the full process by which this occurs. Councilmsm Harvey indicated that the fact the voters in Orange County rejected Proposition 12, and that the City is not getting the type of representation that it is entitled to have, are significant points; however, he added, that he did not feel the Resolution should be connected in any way, with an individual Supervisor. Following further discussion relative to the contents of an appropriate Resolution, it was moved by Councilmam Roberrs and seconded by Councilman Harvey to adopt the following Resolution by title only, title as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 1123 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS EXPRESSING ITS DISPLEASURE WITH THE MANNER OF ADOPTION OF THE INCREASE IN COMPENSATION FOR THE BOARD OF SUPER- VISORS. Councilman Roberrs then indicated that this Resolution was not directed as a personal attack on the City's Supervisor, and addressed the audience stating that if there is dissatisfaction with any person in office, there are courses of action which the citizens can take. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: N0E S: ABSENT: 5 COUNCILMEN: 0 COUNCILMEN: 0 COUNCILMEN: Harvey, Kenode, Lacayo, Roberrs and Kanel None None RECESS: Mayor Kanel declared a recess at 9:04 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 9:16 p0m. with all Councilmen present. -7- City Coua~cil Minutes Nosyember 23, 1970~.z. ~]'f. ~ CO}D~INICATION FROM HOMEOWNERS ON LAKIA DRIVE REGARDING BLOCK WALL FENCING: The City Manager presented a report dated Nove~er 19, 1970, which indicated that the City has received a cor~nunication signed by 4 property owners on Lakta Drive expressing concern over the absence of a block wall fence between their homes and the adjoining Los Alamitos Naval Air Station property. The report continued, that in this specific case, the clubhouse and parking lot of the Los Alamitos Naval Air Station Golf Course was installed by the Navy Department on Faderally owned property, which preempted the City from imposing the block wall fence requirement as set forth in the City Code, and, the block wall fence was not required of the subdivision developer since the adjacent N,A.S. property is zoned for R-1 Single Family Residential use. The report stated that at the time the tentative map was submitted in this area, it appeared desirous to allow the property owners them- eelyea to determine whether or not they wished to have a view of the golf course open apace; however, the Staff did not realize that a portion of the homes would be in~nediately adjacent to the parking lot of the golf course clubhouse, and that after inspection of the property, it does appear that a block wall fence should be required on lots 95-100 in Tract 6776 and on lots 41-48 inclusive, inTract 6775~ The City Attorney has advised that since both of these subject tracts are portions of Tentative Tract 6719, which is on this agenda for consideration for an extension of time, a condition couldbe imposed by the City Council requiring the construction of a block wall fence adjacent to the above referenced lots. It was moved by Councilman Lacayo, seconded by Councilman Kenode and unanimously carried to consider Item No. 12 on the agenda at this time. CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF EXTENSION OF TIME .Fq~.TEN~AT!.VE TRACT MAP 6719: The City Manager presented a report dated November 16, 1970, which indicated that the Larwin Company has requested a twelve month extension of time for recording the remainder of Tentative Tract Map #6719, located at the southwest corner of Orangewood Avenue and Valley View Street. The report stated that the Larwin Company has recorded the first two final maps in this subdivision; 6775 and 6776, and that Tract #6719 will be the final parcel. This portion of the tract, however, ie occupied by an operating dairy ~?nich has contractual ;commitments~ with the dairy store located at the southeast corner of the parcel and cannot release the property to Larwin Company until January 1971. The report further indicated that the City Attorney has previously advised that conditions can be added to the extension of time, the same as if the Tentative Map was up for original consideration so that the improvements to be constructed will be compatible with the City standards existing at the time of the request of the extension of time, and that in order to eliminate the charges of the Midway Sanitary District (.6499 per hundred), it will be necessary to put a condition upon the extension of time requiring the Larwin Company to grant an easement across one of the lots in Tract #6719 and to install a 6" sanitary sewer lateral to the boundary of the dairy store parcel° At the request of the City Manager, the Public Works Director pointed to the subject location on the aerial map. Mr. Paul Dileski, 5683 Lakia Drive, stated that the residents in his neighborhood with property abutting the Naval golf course are content as it is an all green area; however, the property which abuts the parking lot is actually in violation of the Ordinance, as he understood it. The City Manager explained that the City could not enforce the block wall code requirement against the developer of the parking lot, as, in this case, it is an agency of the Federal Government. Mr. Do Anderson, representing the Larwin Company, 9100 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, addressed the City Council stating that he felt that the condition which is being considered would have some profound implications, and that the Larwin Company is not responsible for the condition of the parking lot being adjacent to the R-1 development° Mr. Anderson then requested a continuance of this item to the next regular meeting of the City Council, as the Larwin Company had not been notified of this condition. -8- City Council Minutes November 23, 1970 In response to an inquiry from Mayor Fanel, the City Manager stated that the recommendation in the report was that the condition be added to the extension of time of the tentative tract which would impose the condition of constructing the block wall fence on the Lazwin Company, without question. He further stated that he was proposing that since the original problem had been brought about by the Navy's installation of that facility, that perhaps the City could request the Navy to construct or cooperate in the construction of the wall. Discussion ensued as to the difficulties which might be encountered relative to constructing the fence, and in response to an inquiry from Councilman Lacayo, Mr. Dileski stated that most of the residents do not have landscaping in back of their homes as yet. At this time, Councilman Harvey indicated that he would favor the continuance of this matter as he would be reluctant to make a decision this evening based on suppositions, and further, would like to have a report from the Staff relative to ~he accessability and the practicality of installing the fence. Councilman Kanode agreed, and suggested that the City Manager contact the Departmant of Navy regarding the block wall fence. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Lecayo, Mr. Anderson stated that in regard to the sewer easement, this item was considered when the tentative map was originally approved and it was datermined that the area of the dairy store would not be anne~ad and would not be part of the proceedings which the Larwin Company was to initiate for de-annexation from the M/dway Sanitary District; that at that time, the owner was not desirous of de-annexing and has not changed his opinion as of this date. He further stated that he felt that to impose a condition upon a developer to install a sewer which may never be used would be unrealistic; that the company is willing to install improvements necessary to serve the develop- ment as the company has developed it, and would be willing to grant a 10' wide easement through its lots in the event that in the future the property does obtain sewer service from the City. The Public Works Director then indicated that he felt that it would be both quite expensive and difficult to put the sewer in at a later date, and that the owner of the dairy had indicated that he would be willing to su~mit a withdrawal from the Midway Sanitary District as long as it would not involve an expenditure to him. Discussion was held regarding whether or not a condition requiring the Larwin Company to install the sewer lateral was imposed on the division of land, and in answer to an inquiry from Mayor Kanel, the City Attorney advised that if the division of land was approved without this requirement, then the Council could not go back and impose it as a condition if no. further division of land is necessary; however, if the division of land has never been approved, then the option is open to still impose the condition. It was moved by Councilman Lacayo, seconded by Councilman Harvey and unanimously carried to continue the consideration of Items No. 12 and 13 on the agenda, as they are related, to the next regular meeting of the City Council, and to receive and file the communication si~ned by the four property owners on Lakia Drive. COMMUNICATION FROM ROTHE PARTNE~3HIP REGARDING ILLEGAL USE OF PROPERTY AT BALL ROAD WEST 0F CARB'ON CREEK CHANNEL: ~he City Manager reviewed a report dated November 23, '1970 from the Rothe Partnership advising the City Council that the property owners have not authorized the use of their property, located on Ball Road, west of the Flood Control Channel, for drag car activity. The report continued, that representatives from this partnership have been in contact with the Police Department and the property has been posted with No Trespassing signs, and the property owners and the Police Department are in the process of notifying those persons who are utilizing this property without permission that this action constitutes a violation of trespassing laws. It was moved by Councilman Harvey, seconded by Councilman Lacayo and unanimously carried to receive and file this connnunication. ~9 ~ City Council Minutes November 23, 1970 .C.O.MMUN~C~T~q~..FROM SUNSHINE HOMES' CITIZENS FOR REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF VALLEY VIEW BETWEEN CERRITOS AND SOUT~ERN PACIFIC ~fLROAD TRAC~'S': The City Manager pr~se~t~ a ~eport dated November 23, 1970, which indicated that the City has received a communication signed by several of the residents of the Sunshine Homes requesting that the industrially zoned property located east of Valley View between Cerritos and the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks be considered for rezoning for R-1 Single Family Residential uses, as a portion of the subject property is innnediately adjacent to the Sunshine Home Development. Mrs~ Melvin Stanbridge, 6221 Ferns Avenue, Cypress, addressed the City Council expressing concern as to what might possibly be developed on the property in question, and urging that the Council give consideration to rezoning the property to Residential° Councilman Harvey explained that the Planned Manufacture zone gives the City Council the opportunity to approve or disapprove any plans for proposed develop- ment and that by knowing the desires of the people in the area, it might be pruden~ for the City Council to accept a development which would be satisfactory to them, which might include a park or a greenbelt or some device which would eliminate the homeowners' fear of viewing a manufacturing plant from his back yard. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Kanel, the City Manager indicated that the railroad has expressed e desire to maintain industrial zoning adjacent to the railroad tracks~ Following a review of what has transpired in the City relative to zoning, Councilman Harvey indicated that several months ago he had requested that a study be made of the entire area, and that because of ramifications relative to the Los Alamitos Naval Air Station, it was decided not to proceed with it; however~ perhaps this would be the proper time to reconsider and to initiate a study of the entire area south of Cerritos. Following discussion regarding whether or not this would be the appropriate time to undertake such a study, it was moved by Councilman Harvey and seconded by Councilman Kenode to request the City Manager to review the matter of development of the City's industrial parks at the southern end of the City, taking into consideration the request by the Sunshine Homeowners, the possibility of the Naval Air Station becoming a general aviation airport, the potential or possible planning of the entire area by the City of Los Alamitos, and to report back to the City Council relative to the advisibility of undertaking an economic study of the entire southern portion of the City, south of Cerritos. The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCILMEN: NOES: 0 COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEN: Harvey, Kenode, Lacayo, Roberrs and Kanel None None CONSIDERATION OF LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT LINCOLN AVENUE AND DENNI STREET: The City Manager stated that one of the condit'ions which the City C~uncil had placed on the development of the multiple-family complex located on the west side of Denni Street, south of Lincoln Avenue, was nc review the landscape plans for the project. At the request of Mayor Kanel, Mr. Gary Begin, representing Flintridge Landscape Company, the landscape architects for the apartment project, came forward and displayed a rendering of the proposed landscaping, which was discussed in detail. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Kanel, Mr. Begin indicated that the development is a Joint venture between Mr. Lusk and Mr. Warmington. - 10 - ~' · '~ ~l, City Council Minutes November 23, 1970 In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Lacayo, Mr. Begin stated that the landscaping would be complete by the time the first unit would be rented. In reply to a question from Mayor Kanel, the City Attorney advised that the plans which were submitted will become part of the City records. Following several inquiries regarding the areas of open space which could be used for recreational purposes, Councilmen Roberrs stated that while he appreciated the fact that this has come before the Council and that relatively quick action is desired by the applicant, he felt that he had not had the opportunity to really study the plans and would therefore be in favor of continuing the matter, In reply to inquiries from Councilman Kanode, the City Manager stated that the approval of the landscape plans by the City Council is the last of the condiulons which must be met before a building permit for the development can be issued, and that the only concern which had been expressed by the Staff relative to the landscaping was in regard to the depth of the tree wells; however, the problem has since been corrected~ Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Kenode and seconded by Councilman Harvey to accept the landscape plans as submitted, subject to the approval of final details by the Staff.

CONSIDERATION OF 9YPRESS CHAMBER OF COERCE CONTRACT.: The City Manager presented a report dated November 19, 1970, which indicated the contract between the City and the Cypress Chamber of Commerce which provided for a monthly payment of $I,000 from the City to the Chamber of Commerce expired on June 30, 1970, and that since ~hat time the City Council has extended the contract on a month-to-month basis terminating on November 30, 1970. The report further indicated that during this time, the Committee appointed by the City Council met with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the renewal of the contract, and that the Committee suggested that the Chamber of Commerce prepare a proposed program of work and submit a proposed budget for the 1970-71 fiscal year, which could be evaluated by the City Council. The report continued, that although the budget section of the proposal which resulted from the Committee requests, allows for an option of continuing to operate the Chamber with a part-time Manager or with the services of a full-time Chamber Manager, the Chamber's recommendation requests the approval of a full-time Chamber Manager for the remainder of the fiscal year which would involve an additional $500 per m~nth allocation from City funds to balance the budget. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Lacayo, the City Manager indicated that there are sufficient funds in the City's budget to cover the employment - 11 - City Council Minutes November 23, 1970 of a full-time Chamber Manager for the remaining portion of the fiscal year, however, an additional appropriation would have to be made, At the request of Councilman Kenode, Mr. Allen Banick, President, Cypress Chamber of Coxmnerce, addressed the Council outlining the various reasons why a full-time Manager is needed as opposed to a part-time Manager, and how the Chamber of Commerce plans to help defray the costs involved. Mr. Banick then reviewed in detail the proposal which was submitted by the Chamber, and answered various inquiries from the Council~ Discussion was held relative to allocating a portion of the revenue received from sales tax to the Chamber, whereas, the City Attorney advised that the law prohibits an allocation of sales tax for any specific uses, and that it must go into the general fund, He added, that the Council can commit the general fund monies to a number of obligations, one of which could include the Chamber of Commerce. Councilman Roberrs indicated that the plan submitted by the Chamber was very comprehensive~ Mrs° Alice Frankiewich, 4219 Dover Circle, Cypress addressed the Council stating that much of the material contained in the proposal was discussed at the meetings of the Goals Committee two years ago. She indicated that there is a need for a full-time Manager, and that should the community attract more businesses, the cost would be defteyed. M~ Michael Osborn, 9532 Sonwell Place, Cypress, stated that ha was very much in favor of the proposal as submitted by the Chamber and urged the Council to approve the reco~nendation of a full-time Manager. In answer to a question from Mayor Kanel, the City Manager indicated that he would presume that the contract would be a contract extending to the end of the current fiscal year; however, the Council, if it so desired, could change this to a calendar year basis which would offer an advantage insolaf as recruitment is concerned. Mayor Kanel indicated that a recommendation had not been submitted from the Committee which had been appointed by the City Council, as he felt the matter should be brought before the full Council for discussion. He further indicated that he was not quite certain as to whether the size of the community would warrant a full-time Manager. In answer to an inquiry from Mayor Kenel concerning the effectiveness of a Chamber in attracting businesses to a community, both Councilmen Harvey and Kenode indicated that they found a Chamber to be quite helpful as a source of information and where promotional matters are concerned; however, neither had personally been contacted by a Chamber of Co~nerce relative to potential development within a community. Councilman Kenode stated that his main concern was the increase of funds, and whether or not the City needs a full-time or a part-time Manager, and felt that perhaps it would be beet to continue this item. Pollowing discussion relative to whether or not e full-time Manager would be Justified, it was moved by Councilman Harvey and seconded by Councilman Kenode to continue the consideration of this item to the next regular meeting of the City Council scheduled for December 14, 1970, and to renew the current contract with the Chamber of Conmerce for a period of one month.

The report further indicated that the City Maneger's office has not received, as of this date, any additional questions and therefore no further information is available to present to the City Council at this time~ It was moved by Councilman Robarts, seconded by Councilman Harvey and unanimously carried to continua this matter to the next regular meeting of the City Council to allow additional time for the submittal of any questions the Council might have. It was moved by Councilman Roberrs, seconded by Councilman Lacayo and unanimously carried to place on the agenda as Item 11 a., an item relative to recreation halls. Councilman Roberrs expressed concern over the modern trend to employ bands and to play tapes and records that use extremely loud soonde in areas of the City set aside for recreational purposes. Councilman Roberrs indicated that without additional controls, a resident of the City must either report to the Police Department or endure the noise. Councilman Roberrs then indicated that possibly a third method of controlling this type of problem, which, if acted upon this evening would give the developer of the multiple-unit complex which had been discussed earlier in conjunction with the landscape approval, an opportunity to be aware of this should the Council act on it, He then stated that it is his proposal that the City Council adopt an Urgency Ordinance which would require that all recreation buildings built in the City of Cypress be soundproofed. Councilman Kenode agreed that this is a problem, and perhaps soundproofing would be the best solution; however, he would rather refer this matter to the City Staff for study and recomanendation than to adopt an Urgency Ordinance. In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Lacayo, the City Manager indicated that at the present time, only one multiple-unit development within the City would be effected by the Urgency Ordinance under discussion. In reply to an inquiry from Councilman Kanode, the City Attorney advised that as a result of noise which is emitted from an apartment complex, it becomes a Public Nuisance, the City Council may review the Conditional Use Permit for modification or revocation, Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Kenode to refer the matter of noise abatement problems within apartment complexes to the Staff for study, to be brought back to the City Council at its meeting of December 14, 1970.

CONSIDERAIION OF AN URGENCY ORDINANCE DELETING THE CONDITIONAL USE REQUIREMENT FOR THE SERVICE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: The City Manager stated that, if adopted, this Urgency Ordinance wouid delete the Conditional Use requirement for the service of alcoholic beverages in a C-2, C-3, and H-C zone. He indicated that after consideration of this matter by the Staff, it was felt that perhaps this require- ment was too rigid, and that since the definition of restaurant has been amended - 13 - City Co~mcil Minutes November 23, 1970 to preclude the opening of beer bars under the pretense of being restaurants, and the code has also been amended to the point where beer bars are specifically not listed as allowable uses in these zones, that perhaps this requirement is no longer necessary. The City Manager stated that it was the feeling of the Staff that the matter does need further study; however, to avoid placing a hardship on those who might have a development of this type coming into the community, the Council might wish to consider an Urgency Ordinance while the study is being conducted. In response to an inquiry from Councilram~ Roberrs, the City Manager indicated that upon completion of the study, a permanent Ordinance would be adopted following Public Hearing by the Planning Commission and City Council. It was moved by Councilmen Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Roberrs to read the following Ordinance by title only.

It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman Roberts to adopt Urgency Ordinance No, 441, In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Roberts, the City Attorney stated that the Urgency Ordinance is limited by law to a period of 90 days initially; however, i~ is subject to an extension for an additional period of one year upon the holding of a Public Hearing before the City Council. He stated that it can be for a period shorter than the 90 days. Councilman Kanode indicated that although he generally has a strong feeling in opposition to Urgency Ordinances, as most of them are prohibitive in nature, this one is not, and he will support it.
