CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS TO THE
INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: The City
Manager presented a report regarding this matter dated
June 19 which transmitted a report dated April 10 listing
the recommendations of the current Commission members for
representation on the Commission. The Commission, composed
of the City Manager, Councilman Harvey, Chamber Manager and
Chamber representative, recommended representatives from the
Harvey family, Los Alamitos Race Track, Southern California
Edison Company, Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and Mr.
Tony Nieto as a citizen representative.
Councilman Kanel asked if there was a resideney requirement
for membership and was informed that the City ordinance
did not place this requirement. Councilman Kanel felt
there would be some conflict in having a representative
from the Harvey family on the Commission.
Councilman Harvey explained the Commission's reasons for
making the recommendations and the Commission felt the
participation of the five representatives had been and
would be of benefit to the City in attracting industrial
and commercial business. He stated the Commission rec-
ommended a Harvey family representative since that property
owner had the most to gain and their expertise and contact
with industrial and commercial developers would serve the
City.
Councilman Laeayo supported a Harvey family representative
and he felt leaving them out at this time, following past
negotiations with them, would be detrimental and
contrary to the purpose of the Commission.
Councilman Kanel felt the Harvey property owners had demon-
strated they are interested in a mixture of uses and in
developing only a small portion of their property for com-
mercial use and he felt they might not be proper represen-
tation. He asked if the Commission wollld be able to act
on development plans in the same way as the Planning Commis-
sion. Councilman Harvey stated the purpose of the Commission
was to be an advisory body and that it would not be able
to act on development proposals like the Planning Commission.
Councilman Harvey felt it was necessary to have the coopera-
tion of the Harvey property owners especially if the Com-
mission is successful in getting developers interested
in the commercial and industrial potential of the City.

The City Manager presented a report dated June 19 regarding
adoption of the City of Cypress budget. The City Manager
summarized the budget message dated June 23.
Councilman Harvey felt the budget was based on the current
state of the economy and that an upward trend could result
in more revenues to the City.
Mayor Frankiewich asked if anyone wished to speak in support
of or in opposition to the 1975/76 District Budget. There

CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF EXPANDING THE LINCOLN
AVENUE ACTION COMMITTEE: The City Manager presented
reports dated June 19 and June 5 regarding expansion of
the Committee.
Councilman Lacayo stated this matter had been continued
so that the Council may hear Councilman Harvey's comments
regarding expansion of the Committee. Councilman Harvey
stated that the Committee had offered to meet with the
property owners and businessmen prior to the separate
public hearings to resolve questions concerning setbacks,
landscaping and signing.
Mayor Frankiewich asked if anyone in the audience wished
to speak in regard to this matter°
Mr. Fred Roth, 5431 Lincoln Avenue, Cypress, felt repre-
sentatives of the Lincoln property owners and businesmen
should have been involved in planning and preparation of
the Study since they are most directly affected° He
stated the property owners had other concerns besides
those relating to setbacks, landscaping and signing which
had to be resolved. He recommended that three Lincoln
persons be added to the Committee to go over details,
especially those regarding costs to the property owners,
before the separate public hearings are held. He submitted
four names of Lincoln property owners and businessmen for
consideration as members.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Councilman
Kanel to expand the Lincoln Avenue Action Committee to six
members to include members chosen from the names submitted
by Mr. Roth.
The Deputy City Attorney recommended that alternates be
named for the Lincoln Avenue members to avoid conflicts
when voting on issues which may uniquely affect individuals.
Councilman Lacayo added to the motion the provision
for an alternate.
Mr. Roth felt four to six weeks would be necessary to
allow the Action Committee to arrive at conclusions which
could be presented to the Lincoln property owners.
Councilman Harvey felt it would be more practical and more
would be accomplished faster if the Action Committee was
not increased in size. He stated the new members would
have to be brought up to date on the negotiations which
have taken place with the other agencies.
Councilman Harvey moved a substitute motion to establish
an advisory committee composed of Lincoln Avenue property
owners and businessmen to meet with the Lincoln Avenue
Action Committee and make recommendations to be presented
to the City Council. The motion died for lack of a second.

Board of Directors of the Cypress Recreation and Park
District, authorize the Cypress Recreation and Park
Commission to establish the Cypress Community Center as

were adequate facilities at the Community Center for the
meetings. The City Manager pointed out that when the
Council has a meeting on a Tuesday following a holiday,
the Recreation and Park Commission is forced to relocate
their meeting elsewhere and the Community Center would
assure a consistent location.
Councilwoman Sonju objected to moving the meeting place
since she felt the Council Chambers had a better set up
from a technical standpoint for conducting meetings.
She felt the Community Center should be available and
open to the community and that it would be expensive
for the staff to make the moving arrangements.
The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
