RESOLUTION NO. 6147 (ADOPT)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
RATIFYING THE COUNTY'S REAPPOINTMENT OF FRANK GASDIA TO
'DIE LOS ANGELES COUNTY-DOWNEY REGIONAL PUBLIC
RECREATION AREA COMMISSION (GOLF COURSE AUTHORITY) FOR
COUNCILMANIC DISTRICT THREE
ORDINANcES: None
RESOLUTIONS
CITYWIDE STREET SWEEPING - MODIFY SWEEPING DAYS
Mr. Alvarez explained that consideration of a modification to street sweeping days is due to a
situation that arises during holidays, particularly Monday holidays, where trash pick up is deferred by
one day and therefore falls on the same day as street sweeping. With the new three-barrel trash
containers, the sweeper cannot sweep and sweeping cannot be moved forward a day due to the signs
posted. He outlined the available options and advised that a survey resulted with the majority of
residents responding in favor of a shift in the street sweeping schedule rather than in the trash
schedule. He recommended shifting the street sweeping schedule to allow two days between trash
pickup and street sweeping, which would require reposting of signs and the appropriation of
approximately $26,000. He responded to questions and suggestions from the Council.
Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee Street, mentioned he did not receive a survey and was
informed it was a small survey and did not involve a citywide mailing.
Wendy Tiffin, Rio Hondo Elementary School Student Council, suggested informing residents
of the possible change by putting an ad in the local newspaper.
Fred James, President of the Downey Senior Citizens, 9360 Samoline Avenue, stated the
seniors have discussed this subject and suggested, as a solution, using the old wash trucks to wash the
streets instead of sweeping on the affected days.
It was moved by Council Member Lawrence, seconded by Council Member McCarthy and
unanimously carried to continue this matter to the next Council Meeting to allow more public
awareness and input.
Council Minutes 3/10/98
10846
Prior to the vote, Council Member McCaughan asked what the savings would be to the City's
sweeping contract if street sweeping was eliminated throughout the City during the weeks in which
this conflict arose (4 or 5 per year), noting this would cancel the need for an appropriation to repost
signs.
RECEIPT OF CRIMINAL HISTORY INFORMATION
Mr. Williams mentioned this topic was discussed at the Independent Cities Association (ICA)
seminar last year and it was found that none of the member cities had a formal written policy. The
task of developing a policy was turned over to the Independent Cities Risk Management Authority
(ICRMA), which was then developed and approved by the governing body of the ICRMA and '+^`
recommended to be sent to each member city for consideration. The California Penal Code authorizes
cities to obtain criminal history information for employment, licensing or the certification process and
requires each city to adopt a Resolution and approve policies for obtaining this information. This will
allow the City to obtain this information and use it in employment decisions to insure the interest of
the City, its employees and the public and to minimize potential liability. He explained the process that
must be followed in order to obtain the information and recommended the Council approve a City
policy and adopt the two resolutions submitted.

seconded by Council Member Brazelton, and unanimously carried to waive further reading and
adopt the Resolutions.
Council Member McCaughan commended Mr. Williams for his work in the ICRMA and for
decreasing the City's liability and legal costs.
Council Member McCarthy suggested replacing the word "shall" with "may" in the Policy For
Conducting Criminal Background Checks, Item III, Applicability.
Mr. nose advised he felt it was better to have a universal application for consistency.
Joe Lubin, 7820 Allengrove Street, stated his opposition to the suggested wording change and
concurred with the City Attorney's advice.

UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 17 - IMPERIAL HIGHWAY BETWEEN
THE WESTERLY AND EASTERLY CITY LIMITS
Mr. Alvarez stated Imperial Highway is a major thoroughfare through the City and gives
people their impression of the City as they pass through. It is felt that the appearance of Imperial
Highway would benefit tremendously if overhead utility lines were removed. The California Utilities
Commission has established the Rule 20 Program, with Rule 20 A specifically applying to the removal
of overhead lines, and Imperial Highway qualifies under all of the regulations applied to this program.
The City currently has $3.94 million in reserves held by Southern California Edison and receives
$541,000 each a year for undergrounding. He commented on the ways in which these funds can be
supplemented, advising that the total cost of the project would be approximately $7 million and would
take several years to complete. To form the district, the Council must pass a Resolution establishing
intent, an engineer's report must be prepared, and meetings will be held with property owners. He
recommended the Council adopt the Resolution of Intent to establish an underground district, setting
the date for a public hearing at the Council Meeting of April 28, 1998. An appropriation of $25,000 is
also requested to assist in retaining professional services to assist staff.
RESOLUTION NO. 6150
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO ESTABLISH AN UNDERGROUND
UTILITY DISTRICT ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF IMPERIAL
HIGHWAY FROM 'ELIE WESTERLY CITY LIMITS TO THE EASTERLY
crrY LIMITS AND CAUSING ALL SPECIFIED UTILITIES THEREIN TO
BE RELOCATED UNDERGROUND (DISTRICT NO. 17)
The Resolution was read by title only. It was moved by Council Member McCarthy and
seconded by Council Member McCaughan to (1) waive further reading and adopt the Resolution
setting the public hearing, per Sections 7501 and 7502 of the Downey Municipal Code, for 7:30
p.m., April 28, 1998, in the Council Chamber of Downey City Hall; and (2) appropriate $25,000
from the General Fund for this project. (See later motion)
Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee Street, mentioned there was nothing in the public packet
concerning this item or the requested appropriation of $25,000, noting the public was not aware of
this, and asked that the item be continued until the public has received proper notice.
Mr. Vose explained there was a staff report indicating all the items mentioned, including the
appropriation of $25,000. The purpose of the report is to bring this before the public and in order to
do this it requires the Council to set the hearing and appropriate funds sufficient to generate the
reports so the public can be informed.
Council Member Brazelton referred to the last page of the staff report wherein it mentions
there will be Proposition 218 impacts which have to be addressed and was informed this information
would be brought back.
Council Minutes 3/10/98 -5-
10848
Council Member Lawrence expressed agreement to continue the request for the $25,000
appropriation to the March 24th meeting, and asked if staff could provide residents with definitive
numbers at the public hearing on how much property values will increase from this project. She also
requested that the cost to residents for these connections be spread out over a longer time frame.
Council Member McCarthy expressed his enthusiasm for this project and asked if the activity
for connecting the utilities was the property owner's responsibility and would require the ro ert
p p Y
owners to hire their own contractors. The response was yes.
It was moved by Council Member McCarthy, seconded by Council Member McCaughan, and
unanimously carried to waive further reading and adopt; and set the public hearing for 7 :30
p.m., April 28, 1998, in the Council Chamber of Downey City Hall. The request for
appropriation will be brought back at the next meeting.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee Street, mentioned finding the Council packet material
he earlier reported as missing, and offered his apology to staff.
Joel Lubin, 8620 Allengrove Street, asked the Council to support a State Senate bill
sponsored by Senator Kopp, requiring an audit of the State Bar that will hopefully solve the
problem of people becoming California attorneys and not paying their bar association dues; he also
mentioned other audit issues that will be on the agenda of the State Senate; indicated he is
encouraging Priscilla Dunnum to run for election in Council District 2; and objected to people
outside the City criticizing the Council or staff.
Mike Prokop, 10444 Julius Avenue, gave an update on status of the Downey Rose Float
Association, noting that the Association's fundraising trailer and equipment were stolen. He
mentioned the theme for next year's parade is "Echoes of the Century" and Downey's idea is to
highlight the fast food revolution with a float resembling Johnny's Broiler.

ADMINI T'RATIVE REPORTS
MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS GRANT APPLICATION AND AGREEMENT
Chief Caldwell advised that the City of Brea formed a consortium several years ago but the
consortium presented tonight is a new consortium for the purpose of participating together to apply
for a COPS MORE grant, which provides money for purchasing new law enforcement technology.
The intent is to purchase mobile display computers (MDC's) with funds received from the grant,
which would allow officers to make computer queries from their police cars to the station as well as
the Department of Justice. He commented on the estimated cost for the equipment and the anticipated
matching funds required, noting the target sum for the grant is $6 million. He indicated there are
Council Minutes 3/10/98 -6-

sufficient funds in the asset forfeiture funds to cover any costs for participating in the consortium and
noted this is a technology that will benefit the City. He responded to questions from the Council.
Council Member McCarthy asked about the estimated efficiency savings as fax as time and
money and Chief Caldwell explained what would be expected of the officers when utilizing this
system.
Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee Street, stated his support of this system and noted he was
impressed with the performance standards mentioned in the agreement.
It was moved by Mayor Riley, seconded by Council Member McCaughan, and unanimously
carried to (1) enter into an agreement with the City of Brea for the purpose of obtaining a
COPS MORE grant for the purchase of Mobile Data Terminals/Computers for police vehicles,
(2) pay a prorated share of the expense for a grant writer and, (3) enter into a live-year
agreement for data radio service provided by the City of Brea (provided the grant is funded).
Council Member McCaughan expressed his opinion that the City should continue to be
aggressive toward obtaining grants, stating it is a way to get tax dollars back, and complimented the
police department in this effort.
OTHER BUSINESS - Council Members
IDEAS FOR DOWNTOWN DOWNEY AREA
Council Member Lawrence advised that the cover letter from the Chamber of Commerce
regarding the recommendations of the Chamber's Downtown Merchant's Committee was
inadvertently omitted from the packet and she read the letter. She recommended that the Council
approve street trees to start, followed by a streetscape plan, etc. She asked staff to look at the
permitted C-3 uses which may not work with the downtown family oriented businesses.
Council Member McCaughan noted his support of all the recommendations, asking that all
plans and projects come back to the Council for final implementation.
Council Member McCarthy suggested gas lamps, which he felt build an atmosphere, renaming
Third Street to Civic Center Drive, and repainting the awnings on the south side of Firestone
Boulevard.
Council Member Brazelton noted that the layout of the downtown buildings creates a problem
for many of the businesses. He suggested developing an overall plan to provide incentives for
businesses to follow and suggested that the Planning Division or a consultant compile this information
with costs involved.
Council Member McCaughan asked that the plans have short-term, medium-term and long
term suggestions. He felt that parking structures would make the downtown area work and hoped this
would be addressed.
