City Council Minutes June 9, 1975
Regarding Item #4, consideration of a resolution of the
in California, Councilman Kanel questioned
Council should become involved in this matter. The staff
pointed out the recommendation was to receive and file
the item.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo, seconded by Councilman
Kanel and unanimously carried to receive and file Item #4.
Regarding Item #ll, consideration of a communication from
Dean Stanley van den Noort from the UCI College of Medicine
requesting Support for Construction of a Campus Hospital
at UCI, CoLmcilman Lacayo opposed the construction of a
new hospital since he believed census figures showed there
is an overabundance of hospital facilities in the County.
He felt there is a large number of hospitals which are
closing or going bankrupt and felt taxpayers should not
have to expend funds for a new hospital when existing
facilities are available.
Councilman Kanel supported the construction of a new
facility and felt an on-campus hospital would be appropriate.
He noted that the Orange County Health Planning Council
recommended approval of the request.
Mayor Frankiewich continued this item to the evening.
In regard to Item #12, consideration of contract renewal
with Cypress Auto Tow for City Towing Services, Councilman
Lacayo felt the service rates were being increased consid-
erably. The staff responded that two other nearby towing
firms provide services for a flat rate whereas Cypress
Auto Tow charges a hook-up rate plus mileage which is a
lesser rate.
Councilman Lacayo objected to the fact that persons may
not pick up their vehicles during the night hours without
an extra charge. He recommended that the contract with
Cypress Auto Tow include a telephone number for 24 hour
service, that they provide a card ~isting their rates,
and that the staff investigate the costs charged by other
towers for night pick-up service.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo, seconded by Councilman
Kanel and unanimously carried to continue consideration
of the contract with Cypress Auto Tow to the June 23 meeting.
Regarding Item #15, consideration of a communication from
Assemblyman Jerry Lewis requesting the City Council's
support of Assembly Bill 348, establishing a Utility
Consumer Council, and Assembly Bill 250, creating a
South Coast Air Quality Management District, Councilman
Kanel asked why AB 348 may be controversial. The City
Manager stated that the creation of a Utility Consumer
Council may require an increase in the utility rates.
In regard to AB 250 creating a South Coast Air Quality
Management District, Councilman Kanel felt the new agency
might infringe on the authority of local agencies. He
felt more pressure could be placed on local air pollution
agencies in controlling industrial pollution and he did
not support creating a higher authority. Councilmen Lacayo
and Frankiewich opposed the establishment of another com-
mission.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo, seconded by Councilman
Kanel and unanimously carried to receive and file Item #15.

that this matter be received and filed.

Lacayo and unanimously carried to receive and file Item
#18.

The staff reported that they had selected Affairs Unlimited
to provide catering services for the Community Center. The
staff recommended that one caterer be used so that the City
may have control over the use of the kitchen facilities.
The Recreation and Park Director reported that, when an
event is to be catered, Affairs Unlimited would be used
but this did not preclude a group from bringing or preparing
its own food in the Community Center.
Councilwoman Sonju objected to the use of only one caterer
and did not feel this was fair to other catering services
or groups which would be using the Community Center.
Councilman Lacayo recommended that the written notice of

CONSIDERATION OF AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION AIRPORT E~]VI-
RONS PLAN FOR LOS ALAMITOS NAVAL AIR STATION: Councilwoman
Sonju reported on her attendance with the City Manager at
the June 5 Airport Land Use Commission hearing to consider
an environs plan for Los Alamitos Naval Air Station. She
felt adoption of the plan based on the 1963 level of
operations would mean an almost mandatory expansion of
air operations and that the plan would severely curtail
the types of commercial, industrial and residential uses
on property impacted by the plan. Councilwoman Sonju ex-
pressed concern that a number of Cypress residents as well
as a speaker representing homeowners groups in Cypress, Los
Alamitos and Seal Beach had supported the plan at the
hearing. She noted that the opinion survey indicated
70% of those questioned were opposed to expanded air opera-
tions at Los Alamitos and she recommended that the Council
hold a public hearing to receive public input regarding
the environs plan which could be presented at the Commission
hearing on July 3. She also recommended that letters
be sent to community organizations as well as leaders
of the petition drive which was conducted about six years
ago opposing aircraft noise.

City Council Minutes
June 9, 1975
It was moved by Councilwoman Sonju and seconded by Council-
man Lacayo to hold a public meeting regarding the airport
environs plan for Los Alamitos Naval Air Station and trans-
mit a letter regarding this matter to community organizations,
newspapers, and the petition leaders opposing aircraft
noise.
Mayor Frankiewich noted that it was time to conduct the
public hearing and she declared the following hearing open
and continued until after consideration of this matter:
PUBLIC HEARING RE: NUISANCE ABATEmeNT, AP#241-206-02,
5232 MARCELLA AVE~JE, CYPRESS
Councilmen Kanel and Lacayo supported the public meeting
although Councilman Kanel did not feel there would be an
expansion of operations. Councilman Lacayo was concerned
that the return of jet aircraft would restrict all types
of land uses and would impair the City's tax base.
Mr. Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, Cypress, £elt the
responsibility of the Airport Land Use Commission was to
protect residents from aircraft noise and other aircraft
hazards and to adopt a smaller area of impact would be
wrong. He felt this issue did not involve an expanded
operation and that the Council should not mislead residents
that the air base is considering expansion. He felt this
could only be decided by the Department of Defense.
Councilman Kanel indicated he would be opposed to expending
a great amount of funds for a mailer to the entire popula-
tion and Councilwoman Sonju stated her recommendation was
that the mailer be sent to community organizations and the
petition leaders.
The Council agreed to schedule the public meeting for Monday,
June 30 at 7:30 p.m. and that the letter be transmitted to
community organizations, newspapers and surrounding cities
which will be impacted by the environs plan.

call vote:

CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE: NUISANCE ABATEMENT~
AP#241-206-02~ 5232 MARCELLA AVENUE~ CYPRESS: Mayor
Frankiewich reopened the public hearing and asked for
the staff's report.
The City Manager presented a report dated June 4 from
the Public Works Director which recommended that the
Council adopt a resolution declaring the propert~y at
5232 Marcella Avenue a public nuisance due to the fire
hazard and broken doors and windows on the premises.
The City Clerk asked that those persons wishing to testify
in the public hearing stand and be sworn in. The City
Clerk swore in the Public Works Director, Mr. Art Schatzeder,
and the property owner, Mr. Harry Melcher.
The Public Works Director presented slides showing the
condition of the property. He reported that the property
owner had satisfactorily cleared the high weeds from the
property and the only nuisance remaining was the broken
windows at the front and side of the house and broken
sliding glass door at the rear.

City Council Minutes June 9, 1975
The City Manager read a letter from Mrs. James Robertson
5212 Marcella Avenue, dated June 9, 1975 which was signed
by 17 other property owners in the immediate area which
supported the Council's action in holding a public hearing
to abate the long-standing problem.
The City Attorney addressed the following questions to the
Public Works Director:
City Attorney: Were you sworn Mr. Schatzeder?
Mr. Schatzeder: Yes I was.
City Attorney: In your professional opinion as City
Engineer does the property as it is presently constituted
amount to an attractive nuisance which may prove detrimental
to the children?
Mr. Schatzeder: Yes it does.
City Attorney: In your professional opinion would the
property as it is presently maintained prove detrimental
to the property of others?
Mr. Schatzeder: Yes it does.
City Attorney: Would the photographs that you have exhibited
to the Council this evening, in your opinion, with the
exception of the weeds which I believe you indicated had
been removed, would the photographs other than with respect
to the weeds constitute an accurate indication of the degree
to which the property has not been maintained?
Mr. Schatzeder: Yes, in my opinion, they do, they are a
pretty complete photographic description of the condition
of the house itself.
Mayor Frankiewich asked if anyone wished to speak in
favor of the nuisance abatement. There was no one who
wished to speak. She asked if anyone wished to speak
in opposition.
Mr. Harry Melcher, the property owner, 955 East lllth
Street, Los Angeles, California, explained the circum-
stances leading up to the creation of the nuisance, his
diffficulties in abating the nuisance, and he agreed to
perform the work which is required. Mr. Melcher did
not feel he could accomplish the work within ten days.
The City Attorney and staff recommended that the resolution
be changed to allow a period of 30 days in which to abate
the nuisance.
Mrs. Barbara Robertson, 5212 Marcella Avenue, Cypress,
was sworn in by the City Clerk. Mrs. Robertson stated
the property has been vacant for four years and she felt
the neighbors had been considerate in allowing the nuisance
to remain for so long. She felt it was the responsibility
of the property owner to repair the property in order to
protect the safety of children passing by.
No one else wished to speak in favor or opposition and
Mayor Frankiewich closed the public hearing.
The City Attorney recommended the following changes in
the resolution declaring the public nuisance: that the
reference in paragraphs 4 and 8 to the l0 day abatement
period be changed to 30 days; and that paragraph 3 be
changed to delete the requirement for the removal of
weeds and debris causing the fire hazard.
