concept be implemented in the Central Business District Zone to attract
additional uses in the downtown area and permit a more efficient use of
property. He described the shared -use parking concept, including the process by
which both property owners would follow to pursue this method. The City would
impose appropriate conditions upon the parking arrangements in each particular
case to assure that sufficient parking is always maintained in the Downtown
Area, while allowing the businesses to prosper and attracting new businesses who
can take advantage of this program.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF TIME EXTENSION ON ROOF SIGNS' ABATEMENT
Mr. Caton briefly outlined the history of Sign Ordinance enforcement for
the past 12 years. Ordinance No. 770, adopted November 23, 1984, granted
businesses with roof signs a maximum of nine years to amorti ze their exi sting
roof signs. Therefore, all remaining roof signs have been illegal since
November 23, 1993. Code Enforcement recently notified the remaining 42
businesses with roof signs that they are in violation of the Downey Municipal
Code and subject to prosecution. Since 45 pole and roof signs have been
removed in compliance with the Code, it would be unfair to allow the remaining
signs to remain for an indefinite period of time. After meeting with Chamber
of Commerce representatives, it is recommended that additional time be given
for compliance to businesses with roof signs that do not change use or tenants, —
or make improvements. He referenced a letter from the Chamber, requesting a
five year time extension to remove remaining business signs.
Mr. Keith McCarthy, President, Downey Chamber of Commerce, 11131
Brookshire Ave., commented on the restrictions that hurt the small businessman
in Downey in terms of cost , noting that in today's economy, it would constitute
a hardship on the business owner to remove a sign at his own expense.
Mr. Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee St., speaking on behalf of Watson's
Body Shop, 8730 Firestone Blvd., and Michael Sullivan, D.D.S., 11116 Rives
Ave., noted these businesses complied with the Sign Code and removed their reefxu`
signs within the time limitation originally imposed. He suggested that if the
Council agrees to a five year time extension, the City should compensate in
some way those business which have complied.
Council Member McCaughan agreed with allowing additional time to comply,
but did not support the Chamber's request for five years.
Council Minutes 6/27/95 -7-
r
•
�'I
Council Member Lawrence concurred that the five year time extension is
lengthy and not fair to those who have complied.
Council Member Boggs recalled various meetings and discussions held over
the years with Chamber and staff representatives. While many businesses worked
within the system and removed their i l l e g a l roof signs, others still remain,
and she recommended an extension of 12 months only.
Council Member Brazel ton commented on the importance of aesthetics in the
business environment, and noted fairness is an important issue in the matter.
He suggested that businesses be given to the end of this year to remove their
roof signs.
Discussion ensued regarding an appropriate time l i m i t a t i o n to place on
existing roof signs for removal.
After further discussion, it was moved by Council Member Lawrence and
seconded by Mayor Riley to direct staff to come back with documents to extend
the time limit for roof sign compliance for 18 months.
An alternate motion was made by Council Member Boggs, seconded by Council
Member Brazel ton, and carried by the following vote to direct staff to come
back with documents to extend the time 1 imit for 12 months, with evidence that
wo rk has begun for removal within the first six months, and removal completed
by the following six months:
AYES: 3 COUNCIL MEMBERS: McCaughan, Brazel ton, Boggs
NOES: 2 COUNCIL MEMBERS: Lawrence, Riley
OTHER BUSINESS - CONSENT CALENDAR: Items Removed by Co unc i l Approval
INVESTMENT POLICY - PUBLIC FUNDS FOR CITY OF DOWICE Y, 1996
Council Member McCaughan questioned whether the State Legislature allows
Repurchase Agreements as part of an investment strategy.
Mr. Williams explained these types of Agreements are allowed by the State;
however, the City has done only one Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreement
in the last ten years.
Council Member McCaughan requested language be added to the pol icy that
would require Council approval on this type of investment.
It was moved by Council Member McCaughan, seconded by Council Member
Brazel to n , and unanimously carried to adopt the Investment Policy for public
funds of the City of Downey as submitted, with the addition of No. 10 on page 3
t to read, "Requires Council approval prior to entering into a Repurchase and
Reverse Repurchase Agreement."
