Zones, respectively, to prohibit the operation of certain vehicles in the Residential and Planned Manufacturing Zones. Councilman Kanode then indicated that because the property is in escrow, it should be clear that the recommendations would be directed to the owner of record. At the suggestion of Councilman Kanode~ the Deputy City Attorney worded an amendment to each of the sections referred to above~ which would read as follows: The opera- tion of any motorcycle, motor driven cycle, mini-bike, trailbike, motorscooter, dune buggy or any similar self propelled vehicle~ except on public streets and except also for purposes of direct ingress and egress from public streets to approved off-street parking areas, is expressly prohibited. He stated that this amendment would apply to each of the residential zones and to the Planned Manufacturing zones. In answer to an inquiry from Councilman Lacayo, the City Manager stated that the first two recozlnendations as stated by the Deputy City Attorney apply to a specific problem and to a specific property owner; while the third recommendation is an amendment to the City Code which would enable enforcement procedures to be taken, if needed, throughout the City.

Councilman Kanel stated that he had visited the property owner in question, with regard to the problems of noise and dirt created by the operation of the motor vehicles, and found him to be uncooperative~ Councilman Roberrs stated that he agreed with a statement which had been made by Councilman Lacayo, expressing the need for the City to take direct action. He then indicated that he would favor the adoption of an Urgency Ordinance which would allow the City of Cypress to post signs prohibiting the operation of the vehicles in certain areas. The City Manager, in response to a statement by Councilman Roberrs, indicated that the letter which is referred to in the first recommendation, would be written by the City Attorney at no cost to the City. Mrs, Audrey Lange, 5726 Aspen Street, Cypress, addressed the City Council stating that she felt that the problem under discussion is not limited to Just one location in the City. It was moved by Councilman Roberrs and seconded by Councilman Kanode to approve the first recommendation of the Deputy City Attorney. In answer to a statement by Councilman Lacayo, the Police Chief indicated that should the property owner ignore the letter referred to in the first recommendation, and maintain the nuisance~ he could then be cited criminally each time his track is used. He stated that the law requires the District Attorney of this County to prosecute each and every offense which is cited. He then reviewed the two remaining recommendations and stated that the three recommendations are needed to insure positive action to abate the nuisance. The Police Chief further indicated that should strangers use the land for the operation of dune buggies, motorcycles, mini-bikes, etc., without permission from the property owner, the State law, which proscribes the use of someonets land without permission of the property owner for such purposes, would then be used. -6- City Council Minutes August 2, 1971 The motion was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCILMEN: NOES: 0 COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEN: Kanel, Kanode, Lacayo~ Roberts and Harvey None None It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Cotmcilman Kanode to approve the second recommendation of the Deputy City Attorney.

Councitma~ Roberts then stated that he was totally opposed to an Urgency Ordinance being adopted for problems which exist, which can be handled by the two other processes, He further stated that he would like to have the Ordinance distributed to the City Co~mcil for review before its adoption. It was moved by Councilman Roberrs and seconded by Councilman Lacayo to table this matter at this time~ Councilman Kanode stated that he has always been opposed to Urgency Ordinances when there has not been an opportunity to conduct a Public Hearing; however, there are occasions where immediate action is necessary. Councilman Kanode indicated that when an Urgency Ordinance is adopted, a Public Rearing should be held prior to its becoming a permanent Ordinanceo Councilman Kanel indicated that he felt that the Urgency Ordinance was needed to insure that Mr. Lindeboom would stop the operation. Councilman Lacayo stated that the first two measures which were approved by the City Council would control the operation of the cycles, etc., on the property in question, and that before considering the Urgency Ordinance, he would prefer to have one week in which to study its contents. The Deputy City Attorney, in answer to an inquiry from Councilman Roberrs, stated that Urgency Ordinances are subject to greater scrutiny than a regular Ordinance; however, he added, this Urgency Ordinance clearly strengthens the City's position, relative to the problem in question, and recommended its adoption. -7- City Council Minutes August 2, 1971 Councilnmn Lacayo, at the request of Councilman Roberrs, withdrew his second to the motion to table this item. Councilman Roberrs then moved that the City Council adopt the Urgency Ordinance for a period of ten days, which would allow the Council an opportunity to review its contents prior to extending it for a longer period of time or before consideration is given to a permanent Ordinance. Councilman Kanode indicated that ten days would not be a reasonable period of time, and suggested that the Urgency Ordinance be effective until the first meeting of the City Council in September, Mayor Harvey pointed out that the adoption of the Urgency Ordinance would not be changing the entire Ordinance, but rather it would be making certain amendments to the City's Ordinance, relating specifically to the problem which arose on Mr. Lindenboom's property last weekend. He further stated that there are other properties in the City in which this problem has been encountered, and that he felt that the information which was provided to the Council by the Police Chief, City Manager, and City Attorney was sufficient background information for the City Council to reach a decision on the matter. It was moved by Councilman Kanode and seconded by Councilman Kanel to amend Councllr0m% Robert's motion, changing the period in which the Ordinance will be effective from ten days to the first regular meeting of the City Council in September. Councilmm~ Lacayo and Councilman Roberts indicated that while they were not opposed to the adoption of the Urgency Ordinance, the Council should have an opportunity to review its contents. Councilman Roberrs stated that he was opposed to extending the time of the effectiveness of the Ordinance to September, and urged that the matter be considered at the next meeting of the City Council. Councilman Lacayo stated that he would support the motion to extend the Ordinance to September; however, that with all due respect to Councilhum Robert's argument, he did feel that ten days would be adequate time for the City Council to study the Ordinance. He then requested that the City Manager report back to the City Council as to the progress which is being made relative to the particular nuisance problem at the next meeting of the City Council. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 4 COUNCILMEN: NOES: 1 COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEN: Kanel, Kanode, Lacayo and Harvey Roberrs None At the request of Mayor Harvey, the Deputy City Attorney again read the title of the Urgency Ordinance, The motion to adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 459 was unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: 5 COUNCILMEN: NOES: 0 COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEN: Kanel, Kanode, Lacayo, Roberrs and Harvey None None RECESS: Mayor Harvey declared a recess at 9:00 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 9:08 p.m., with all Councilmen present.
