sented a report from the Public Works Director dated

contract.
Mr. John Dickson, representing the R.F. Dickson Company,
12524 Clark, Downey, California, stated the company was
also concerned about children and had experienced no
fatalities and only one accident in a 25 year period.
He indicated the company was willing to cooperate but
did not wish to decrease the speed of the sweeper at an
increased cost to the City.
City Council Minutes -6- September 22, 1975
The Public Works Director indicated that a general slow
down of the sweeping, rather than a decrease in the actual
speed of the vehicle, with the driver paying extra attention
to children and problem areas should eliminate the problems
and the need for an increased contract cost. He indicated,
however, that there was an eight percent increase over
last year's contract resulting in a $20.66 hourly rate.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayo and seconded by Council-
man Kanel to determine that the lowest responsible bidder
for City Project #7638-90 is the R.F. Dickson Company, Inc.
and award a contract for municipal street sweeping to the

regarding establishment of a Meals on Wheels Program.
He reported that the staff would continue to contact
community organizations as well as community schools to
seek their participation in this program.

donating office space for the Meals on Wheels program.

CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT WITH ORANGE COUNTY REGARDING
CITY ANIMALS AND BIRDS: The City Manager summarized a
report from the Administrative Coordinating Team dated
September 18 which gave a background of City and County
actions involving the disposition of City-owned animals
and birds presently maintained by the County at Irvine
Park.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel to receive and file the
report. Councilman Kanel then withdrew the motion.
It was moved by Councilwoman Sonju to approve the agree-
ment with the County of Orange as outlined in the staff
report and authorize the staff to prepare the plans and
specifications for the construction of a bird aviary at
Manzanita Park. The motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman Kanel indicated he was opposed to the staff's
recommendation to construct an aviary since this item was
deleted from this year's budget and because of the City's
present economic difficulties. He supported the County
retaining the animals and the City of Cypress' back payment
to the County and the possibility of the animals being
placed at a regional park facility.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Councilman
Lacayo to approve the agreement with the County of Orange
to donate the animals to the County and pay the County
$1,000 which is ten months' payment, with the provisions
that the animals be located at the proposed regional park
and that the City have one year to decide whether or not
the birds will be returned to the City of Cypress.
The City Manager recommended that the Council delete the
provision in the motion that the animals be located at
the regional park site since this was not stipulated in
the agreement but that the City Council indicate to the
County that it would be amenable to placing the animals
at the Nike site if it is developed as a regional park.
He reported that he recently received a letter from Super-
visor Schmit indicating that the regional park was still
seriously being considered as a high priority County project.
The Council agreed to delete the provision in the motion
that the animals be placed at the regional park.
Councilwoman Sonju stated she did not agree with the motion
and she felt the City's action of acquiring additional
property at Manzanita Park in 1972 indicated the Council's
intent to establish a zoo there and preserve a historical
link with the City's past. She felt the Council should
reevaluate its priorities and that priorities for all City
programs and services should be based on how many people
will be served and the cost per person.
City Council Minutes -8- September 22, 1975
Councilwoman Sonju moved a substitute motion to approve
the agreement with the County of Orange as outlined in
the staff report and authorize the staff to prepare the
plans and specifications for the construction of a bird
aviary at Manzanita Park. The motion died for lack of a
second.
Mayor Frankiewich felt an expenditure for the aviary
would not be appropriate at this time and that the aviary
would be considered in next year's budget discussions.
She agreed that the Council should review its priorities.
She felt vandalism might be a problem at the aviary.
Councilman Kanel felt the Council acted during the year
in accordance with priorities set at the budget sessions.
Councilman Harvey supported the motion and felt the City
would have adequate time in a year to determine the
feasibility of building an aviary. He felt adjustments
in City programs could be made if and when the City's
economic situation improves.

and Frankiewich
NOES: 1 COUNCILMEN: Sonju

the retention periods set forth in the staff report.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Council-
woman Sonju to authorize the destruction of the subject

Councilman Lacayo withdrew the second.
It was moved by Councilman Kanel and seconded by Council-
man Lacayo to approve a 25% reduction of the fund raising
fee and direct the Recreation and Park Commission to review
the fees in six months.
Councilman Harvey stated the Recreation and Park Commission
had reconsidered this matter after the joint meeting with
the Council and he supported their recommendation and noted
that the review of fees would take place in January.
Mayor Frankiewich felt the fees should remain the same
and felt that if there is a reduction the costs will have
to be borne by taxpayers. She felt the small percentage
of persons using a public facility should pay for its use
and that if the fees are lowered it would be difficult to
raise them again.
Councilman Lacayo withdrew the second and stated he felt
there should be a reduction in fees for groups which are
community oriented.
It was moved by Councilman Lacayor seconded by Council-

sale of alcoholic beverages.
Councilman Lacayo recommended a change in the contract
which states that: "The caterer may apply to the Director
of the District for authority to reduce the percentage of
charge for a non-profit charitable organization." He
recommended that "Recreation and Park Commission" be
substituted for "Director of the District."

the 25% profit on meals served by the caterer since this
meant residents were overpaying for the meals.
It was moved by Mayor Frankiewich, seconded by Council-
woman Sonju and unanimously carried to refer this matter
to the Recreation and Park Commission for their review
and recommendation for the October 14 meeting with
special consideration being given to the 25% caterer's
