He inquired of the City Clerk if she had received any further correspondence on the matter, and she replied she had not. City Attorney Sorensen advised that Section 9120.9 of the Code provides in part that in the event an establishment such as the Woodruff Inn ceases to operate or discon- tinues operation for six months, the provisions of Paragraph B shall not apply, and it would take an action by the Planning Commission or the City Council to grant an exception. He said the question before the City Council at this time is whether the discontinuance of operation should be deemed to have commenced on September 2, 1970 when the license was surrendered to the ABC by the IRS who had Levied an attachment on the license, or on September 18th when the assets were seized by the IRS and sold. He said if the City Council determines that September 18th is the date operation was discontinued, then the application for the License was made within the six-month period.

The City Manager further reported on the reduction of the Argus Helicopter Program from the budget, and other avenues have been opened and are being pursued to see if some other kind of helicopter service can be provided.

Mr. Thompson stated Argus is supported by seven cities and with the withdrawl of the City of Whittier, the cost would have to be distri- buted between the other cities which would raise the $91,000. figure to $120,000. He said programs are available under which grants are provided for various types of law enforcement activities, and even though Downey's application has been denied, the City is continuing with its request for this service. Police Chief Morgan stated the City has appealed the denial of the first request but has not received word on the appeal. He said the City has applied for two other grants, one to the California Council on Criminal Justice and one to the U.S. Department of Justice Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. In reply to a comment by Mr. Wendell Wiser, 10921 Paramount, Downey, City Manager Thompson replied that a copy of the Budget was available on a table at the last Council Meeting, copies were given to the press, there is a copy on file in the City Clerk's office, and one is also available in the Library.
