ing stations, noting the District has pioneered the reuse of water in California,

HEARINGS
Mayor Greene opened the hearing on Zone change "Cage 'No, 140, Southwest corner
of Downey Avenue and Alameda Street, He inquired if the City Clerk had the Affi-
davit of Publication, to which the City Clerk responded in the affirmative.
It was moved by Councilman Jackman and seconded by Councilman Swearingen to
receive and file the Affidavit,
Mr, Goggin reviewed the request to change the zone from C-4 to R-2 with a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay, This, he said, would allow the applicant
to build either a condominium, triplexes, or four -unit apartments,
Mayor Greene asked if the City Clerk had received any correspondence on this
matter, and the City Clerk replied he had not,
Mayor Greene then inquired if there was anyone present to speak in favor of
the zone change,
Mr, Frank Evola, 7857 Florence Avenue, representing the property owner, dis-
cussed considerations given to various developments of the property and the
decision to change the original request for a R-2 with a PUD overlay to R-2 with a
transitional overlay. This, he said, would also necessitate splitting the
property into four parcels, on which triplexes would be built, with one being
intended as an owner -occupied unit,
Council Minutes 4/10/79 -1-
Mr, Sorensen advised the Council may approve a change in the original request
so long as it is a lesser change than what was advartised. The revised request
would involve a more restrictive zone, which the Council could approve,
Mr. Goggin explained the original request -for x 2 with a PUD would allow 16
emits, whereas the amended request for R 2 with -'a transitional overlay would allow
only 13 units,
There being no one else to speak in favor and no one to speak in opposition,
it was moved by Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Jackman, and so ordered
to close the hearing,
Mr. Sorensen pointed out that if the Council wishes to approve the zone change
as amended, this would still have to be referred back to the Commission for report'
because the recently adopted ordinance which does not require matters to go back to
the Commission is not yet in effect,
It was moved by Councilman Jackman, seconded by Councilman Miller, and passed
by unanimous vote to refer Zone Change Case No. 140 back to the Planning Commission
for report and recommendation on a zone change from C-4 to R-2 with a transitional
overlay.

vard and Gallatin Road, He inquired if the City Clerk had the Affidavit of

he has a conflict of interest,

on the west side of Lakewood Boulevard extending southerly of Gallatin Road
approximately 965 feet from R1®7500, C-4 and R 3 to C-P and C®2, on the east side

Buettner requesting retention of the 90 foot setback for the Cal Worthington lot,
Mr. Goggin stated the 90 foot setback is included as part of the proposal
Mayor Greene inquired if there'was anyone present to speak in favor of the
zone change,
Mr, Fred Brinkman, 9161 Arrington Avenue, said he is no longer opposed to the
zone change because it will provide for a PB buffer zone, He pointed out, however,
the notice to the property owners did not indicate the PB zone would be included.
There being no one else to speak in favor, Mayor Greene then inquired if
there was anyone present to speak in opposition,
Ms, Vartanian,.8603 Lubec, requested furtherexplanation of the proposed C-P

Correspondence from Central Basin Water District regarding Construction of
Peripheral Canal Unit of the State of California water Project
Mr, Thompson commented that in the early 1980°s, the amount of water Southern
California can take from the Colorado River will be reduced by approximtely 50
percent, and it was anticipated this could be made up by water received from the
Feather River project, However, that water is being delayed by controversy over
construction of the peripheral canal, and the only way the canal can be built is
for the Legislature to pass an act authorizing its construction with State and
local money,
The Council concurred with Councilman Jackman°s recommendation to refer this
matter to the Water Board for its recommendation,
Resolution Committing to the Implementation and Enforcement of those Element<
of the South Coast Areawide Waste Treatment-ManagementPlan
Councilman Jackman indicated Downey should make the decision on how to sweep
its streets, and he voiced concern in giving SCAG the authority to enforce the
208 Management Plan,
Mr, Spindel said staff agrees and has modified the original resolution
presented by SLAG because it was not apropos,
Mr. Thompson explained the issue is that SLAG has been assigned the responsi-
bility for developing a regional program to prevent pollution in any form which
will bring harmony to the programs of the County, and the cities within it.
It was moved by Councilman Mackaig, seconded by Councilman Swearingen, and
passed by unanimous vote to not adopt the Resolution,
MISCELLANEOUS COUNCIL ACTIONS
Agreement for Downey Theatre Foundation to Lease the Downey Community Theatre
Mr, Sorensen stated he has reviewed the Lease and made some suggested changes,
However, he has not reviewed the Articles of Incorporation and By -Laws as to their
compliance with the statutory requirements of a nonprofit corporation,
Councilman Miller asked that the By -Laws contain the requirement, wherein any
amendment must be approved by the Council,
Mr, Neavill indicated a statement can be included on Page of the By -Laws.
Council Minutes 4/10/79 -3-
Councilman Miller referred' -to Pages i and 2 of the By -Laws, Section II
Voting, and Section IV -,Quorum, He did not concur with board members being
allowed to vote in proxy, He then inquired about "stated salary" contained in
Section IV - Compensation,
Mr, Hal Bales, representing the Civic Ballet -of Southern_ California and
Associated Variety Artists, said"stated salary" is not needed in tile agreement,
He pointed out it is unlikely Phyllis Cyr, who.was appoi---fed to the Foundation.
Board of Directors to represent the Civic Ballet, will be able to attend most
board meetings due to her business obligations, and it has been suggested someone
could attend in her stead. He said he would be willing to get someone else within
the organization to take her place,
Following discussion, all references to "proxy" were deleted from the By -Laws.
Mr, Dale Hardiman, 10348 Paramount Boulevard, commented on a problem obtaining, -
the required insurance because the Lease says it cannot be effective without the
binder, and the insurance company says it will not provide a binder without a lease,
Mr. Sorensen said a statement can be inserted in the Lease saying "Lessee shall
file with the City prior to June 15, 1979, two copies of the certificate,"
Mr. Neavill outlined the following changes to be made in the Lease and By -Laws.
Page 12 of the Lease, Item E - Control of Premises- Move the sentence refer-
ring to the City retaining use of the following areas for storage and/or
workshop purposes, etc., and insert on Page 7 as Item 4 under B m City Use
of Theatre.
Page 3 of the By -Laws, fourth line from the bottom, "nine (9) members" will
be changed to "seven (7) members;"
Page 3 of the Lease, paragraph 7, seventh line, the words "not exclusive of"
will be changed to "not limited to,"
Page 6 of the Lease, Paragraph 20, fourth line, "in the event of injury to a
patron or customer" will be changed to "in the event of injury to any person,"
Councilman Miller referred to Pages 9 and 10 of the Lease, Section V m Defau:
and Cancellation, and suggested there be consistency in the way the notices of
default are to be given, whether by the City or the Lessee,
Melva Nielsen, 9288 Lubec Street, raised questions regarding the proposed
Lease, By -Laws, and Articles of Incorporation,
Mr, Sorensen referred to the By -Laws and stated concern that a member of the
City Council shall serve on the Board of Directors as a non -voting ex-officio mem-
ber. Because of the provisions of Sections 1090 and 1091 of the Government Code,
that Council Member would have to disqualify himself from voting on any matter
pertaining to the Lease or operation which would come before the City Council. He
did say, however, the Council Member could serve as a liaison, and this could be
stated in the Lease instead of the By -Laws.
On Page 3 of the By -Laws, Section I - Number and Term, the first sentence
will be amended to read, "The number of Directors shall be at least three (3),11
The third sentence will be amended to read, "The number of Directors shall be ex-
panded as herein provided,,,,"

by unanimous vote to approve the Lease Agreement with the Downey Theatre Foundation,
as amended,

STAFF REPORTS
Responding to previous discussion concerning the DART Program and whether the
City should adopt an ordinance requiring mandatory separation, Mr. Spindel cited
- the amount of recyclable refuse picked up each week during December, January, and
February. He said the rubbish contractor feels it would take sire tons a week for
him to break even. Staff has received information that no City in California has
such an ordinance requiring mandatory separation, but there are some cities back
east who do have such an ordinance, and he will report back on this,
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Councilman Jackman said he has previously inquired about the possibility of
entering into a law suit with the I-105 Freeway corridor cities against the Center
for Law and Public interest. He feels the Judge should now make the decision as
to whether the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) is proper and lift the injunction
so that construction of the Freeway can proceed. He would still like to discuss
the possibility of a law suit with the corridor cities,
Mr. Sorensen explained he has discussed this issue with one of the attorneys
at Caltrans and was informed the Center for Law and Public Interest, which is a
group of attorneys representing the plaintiffs, suggested negotiating a settlement
after the EIS was prepared and approved. Subsequently, the Director of Caltrans
instructed their attorneys to negotiate with the Center and also instructed them
to make any motion to lift the injunction. However, he said, it is his under-
standing that if a motion is made to lift the injunction, a law suit will be filed
attacking sufficiency of the EMS, which could mean another few years of litigation.
Following discussion, Mayor Greene suggested Councilman Jackman, the City
Manager, and the City Attorney pursue this matter,
Councilman Miller commented on receipt of a Long Range Solution to Proposition
13 (Leo To McCarthy) as a bipartisan attempt to resolve local cities' fiscal
problems, which would take away the one cent Sales Tax,
Mr, Thompson indicated he is preparing a report to the Council with some
suggestions for review as an alternate solution. If this is passed in its present
form, Downey would not be able to operate as a City because it would remove approxi-
mately $4 million from the General Fund,
Discussion followed.
Councilman Mackaig acknowledged receipt of a letter from Yolanda Medina
regarding the Rio Hondo Golf Course operation, He suggested the City Manager look
into this,
Councilman Swearingen congratulated Mayor Greene on serving his one year as
Mayor,
Mrs, Signe Van Hoeven, 8533 East Donovan Street, expressed her gratitude to
the City Council and staff for assisting in the successful grand opening of the
Senior Citizen Drop -in Center at Apollo Park, She then requested late afternoon
and evening security patrol at the facility because of the problems with the youth
and vandalism. The Senior Citizen Facility does not as yet have a telephone, and
she will discuss this with Mr, Neavill,
There being no further business to come before the City Council, the meeting
was adjourned at 11e07 p.m. to 4230 p.m„ April 23, 1979, in the Council Chamber of
the Downey City Hall,
