CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
City Manager Thompson reported on a survey of cities for a comparison of
Fees to Citizen Boards. He said based upon the comparison, he would recommend
that no change be made at this time, however, this could be considered with the
budget, beginning the new fiscal year.
Discussing the new Tennis Court Facilities, Mr. Thompson indicated with the
new pro shop to be located at the facility, that it should be the responsibility
of a pro which could be selected on a competitive basis as a lessee to the City.
He said the pro could give lessons and instructions, take care of the court
maintenance, and schedule operation of the court facility. Also, Mr. Thompson
stated, since some of the facilities will be lighted, time will be made available
daily for free play.
Parks & Recreation Director Ruth explained this has been reviewed by the
Parks & Recreation Commission and is recommended for favorable consideration.
He noted there would be no cost to the City for actual supervision of the
facility, and there would be a competent, qualified professional on the facility
at all times. Mr. Ruth said the City would expect a guaranteed monthly rental
for use of the facility and/or percentage of gross receipts, which would be open
in a bid process. He indicated this would give the City a revenue base, provide
competent, qualified personnel at all times,and provide a fine, overall tennis
program for the City of Downey.
It was moved by Councilman DiLoreto, seconded by Councilman Temple, and passed
by the following vote to proceed on a temporary basis, subject to Council changes
on any matters that do not appear workable.
Councilman Winton asked that the bid include the right of Council to review
those hours scheduled, should there be an adequate need for a differential of more
hours of free play.
Discussion followed.
AYES: 5 Councilmen: Temple, DiLoreto, Winton, Scotto, Jennings
Mayor Jennings indicated after the tennis courts open, he would like to have
a monthly report of what occurs Saturday and Sunday and the number of children
that do not get to play tennis without paying 25c.
Reporting on the 911 Emergency Dialing System, Mr. Thompson explained the
State has mandated that the entire State be serviced by this system by 1982
with a preliminary plan being submitted by January of 1975,Qand this has been re-
viewed by Staff with the County and the State Communications Department. He said
it is unanimously recommended that the City's plan call for a jurisdictional
selective routing system, and this would mean that anyone within Downey dialing
911 would be put into direct contact with the City dispatching office for
dispatching of any emergency vehicle. Mr. Thompson noted the alternative to this
is to go into a public safety answering point, which is being set up by the County
and.. would serve from six to sixteen cities in each group as a referral over to the
City dispatching office. He pointed out that although the costs have not been
established, they will not be greatly significant in terms of large capital
expenditures, and the State has included in the act a provision to appropriate
funds in the next Legislature sufficient to cover the program; that if they fail
to do so, the program will be postponed for a year and each subsequent year until
Legislature provides for funds.
Mayor Jennings questioned giving approval without knowing the costs involved.
Discussion ensued.
Councilman Winton suggested the City prepare its own cost factor and present
it to the State Legislature relative to being reimbursed and placed on the system.
Police Chief Morgan explained the costs are unknown at the present time, and
the plans are tentative and can be changed at any time. He said it appears more
Council Minutes 11/11/74 -5-
feasible for the City to have a 911 system based upon a jurisdictional basis,
rather than having emergency calls relayed from a public safety answering point
in another city. Chief Morgan noted the purpose of submitting a tentative plan
to the State is so that the Division of Communications can make recommendations
of costs to the State Legislature.
It was moved by Councilman Temple, seconded by Councilwoman Scotto, and
passed by the following vote to approve a jurisdictional selective routing system
for Downey, which will be the basis for tentative plans to be submitted in
January, 1975.
Mayor Jennings said he does not want this City committeed to something when
the costs are not known.
Further discussion ensued.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Gordon Strahan, 12359 Gneiss Avenue, president of the Warren High School
Band Booster Club, extended an invitation to the Council to the Winter Concert of
the Warren High School Band to be held on December 17th.
Mr. Earl Berry, 8536 Eucalyptus Street, spoke regarding the Downey Community
Hospital Mid -Year Salary Adjustment and asked the Council to take a hard look at
the proposed increase.
Pursuant to the request of Mayor Jennings, City Planner Goggin reported on
the status of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. He said the Planning Commission
has been holding regular meetings and study meetings and is still waiting for
input from the Chamber of Commerce and the B.I.A. (Building Industry Association,
Southeast Chapter). Mr. Goggin noted very little input has been received from
-- the general public. He mentioned the Commission has indicated it would like to
have the wording cut down, there are some minor changes to be made, and there
will probably be three more meetings before the Commission will send it to the
Council.
Councilman DiLoreto asked if the Zoning Ordinance considers changes in the
areas where zone exceptions have been granted, so that zoning will conform to the
present use of the land.
Mr. Goggin replied the Zoning Ordinance will not change the zoning of any
properties, however, it will bring the code up to a standard where in those areas
there is a commercial development in an R-1 zone, it will make it possible for
the Council to rezone the property to commercial that would permit those uses and
any other new uses to come in on the same standards of development.
Responding to further questions, Mr. Goggin noted that although the Zoning
Ordinance will not be in conformance with the General Plan, the Zoning Maps will.
Councilman Temple noted questionable paving on Cecilia Street between
Wiley Burke and Rives and asked that this be checked out.
Councilman DiLoreto commented on recent resurfacing of pavement on Imperial
Highway.
Councilman DiLoreto stated after further consideration on the Widening of
Brookshire Avenue, he is not in favor of widening an additional eight feet,
inasmuch as it will not increase the flow of traffic considerably.
Councilman DiLoreto asked the City Manager to meet with the City Librarian
to discuss Use of Library on Saturday and Sunday and the cost to the City for
better utilization of the Library prior to any expansion.
Councilman Winton said he would oppose any motion to utilize the Library on
Saturday and Sunday until such time as Budget session would approve adequate
personnel.

Councilman Winton commented on the inadequate paving of Stewart and Gray Road
between Lakewood Boulevard and Patton Road.
Councilman Winton indicated that since there is a redevelopment agency in the
City, a serious look should be given to the 105 Freeway corridor and anticipate in
the future that there is going to be a need to establish a redevelopment plan
throughout the entire corridor.
Commenting on the Council packets for the Library and Press, Councilwoman
Scotto expressed a desire to have the packets include the City Manager's Report
and Correspondence. She further inquired if there would be public hearings on the
105 Freeway deletion.
Discussion was held regarding the procedure for distributing Library and
press packets. The Council concurred with Mrs Scotto.
It was moved by Councilwoman Scotto, seconded by Councilman Temple, and
passed by the following vote that the City Manager's Report and Correspondence
be made available to the press and Library on Friday morning with the rest of the

City Manager are to be excluded, as well as Personnel matters.
AYES: 5 Councilmen: Temple, DiLoreto, Winton, Scotto, Jennings
Councilwoman Scotto again inquired if there would be public hearings on the
105 Freeway deletion.
City Manager Thompson replied the question of deletion would be before the
Legislature.
Councilman DiLoreto requested that before a Bill is proposed to any member of
the Legislature or Assembly, that it be submitted to the Council for approval and
citizen input.
During discussion it was noted there would not be any public hearings before
the City Council.
---- Mayor Jennings stated Federal Revenue Sharing Funds were earmarked for
Purchase and Removal of the Tin Shed at Dolan and Firestone. He requested Council
approval for the City Manager to proceed with negotiations to purchase and remove
the shed.
Councilman Winton concurred.
Discussion ensued.
Councilman Temple inquired about the status of Revenue Sharing and the plans
for other projects earmarked before approving a minute action of this type.
Councilman DiLoreto said there are other projects he would consider as higher
priority, but would not object to exploring the possibility of acquisition.
It was moved by Councilman Winton, seconded by Councilman Temple, and passed
by the following vote to authorize the City Manager to investigate the possibility
and price of purchasing the tin building at Dolan and Firestone.
AYES: 5 Councilmen: Temple, DiLoreto, Winton, Scotto, Jennings
