AYES: 5 Council Members: Swearingen, Mackaig, Quinn, Cormack, Jackman Council Minutes 6/24/80 -3- ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: (Items not on Agenda) Mr. Bill Doolittle, 10050 Lesterford, requested the assistance of the Council for the possibility of creating a reward for the freeway killer. He said several groups in Orange County have donated reward money totaling approximately $83,000, and he asked this be given consideration. Mr. Sorensen advised that Downey, as a Charter City, has the ability to spend funds for anything it deems to be of public purpose. It is his thought that this would probably be an appropriate expenditure of public funds. Mr. Doolittle suggested the possibility of soliciting funds from the citizens of Downey. Mayor Jackman suggested staff investigate this 'matter and bring back a recommendation by the next Council Meeting. He also suggested possibly the City could be the depository of funds people would want to contribute toward a reward. Barbara Copeland, 8713 Dalen, president of the 'Downey City Youth Band, indicated it was her understanding that this evening the Council would be discuss- ing funds to be allocated for the Youth Band. Mr. Thompson explained the Council has discussed this at Budget session and has decided to hold in abeyance all of the items for distribution of that money until they have had an opportunity to study further recommendations made by the Second Century Foundation. The Council indicated it should be able to make a decision on this by the next meeting on July 8th.

T. & F., Inc., the lowest and best bidder, subject to the approval of the State and FHWA (Account #26-16192 FAU & State Matching Funds). It was moved b Councilman Mackaig, y Swearingen, J4j„3 y g, seconded b Councilman Swearin en and passed by the following vote to award Cash Contract #453, Activity Lighting at Furman Park and Apollo Park, in the amount of the prices bid for the base and addi- tive bid items totaling $27,538, to Sweem Electric Incorporated, the lowest and best bidder; and authorize the City Staff to negotiate a change order for the conversion of additional mercury vapor and incandescent lighting to more energy - efficient high pressure sodium and metal halide -type lighting at an estimated cost of $4,000 (Account #40-17132 and #40-17136). Councilman Cormack asked if the proposed lighting would be in conflict with the concerns of people in the Furman Park area, inasmuch as they do not want too much light at the park. Mr. Neavill replied it is the intention of the lighting project at Furman Park to illuminate the front portion along the parking lot; among the trees where the play apparatus is located; the east side front portion of the park; and around the activity buildings where there has been considerable amount of vandalism. There have been no complaints to this project. AYES: 5 Council Members: Swearingen, Mackaig, Quinn, Cormack Jackman Contract #462A - Community Development Office Modifications; and Cash 3 - Police Mr. Henriksen stated it is recommended the award of contract on the Police Addition be approved and the bids for modification of the Community Development Offices be rejected. In a short period of time staff hopes to introduce further savings and changes in the Community Development contract and then readvertise on that basis. He pointed out contractors have been reluctant to bid on the project because of the complexity, it is around City Hall, and City Hall staff will be working at the same time they would be modifying the office. Attempts will be made to establish a sequence that a contractor can follow to better utilize per- sonnel. Staff realizes the original estimate may be somewhat low and, therefore, an appropriation of additional funds is requested for the 1980-81 fiscal year. It was moved by Councilman Mackaig, seconded by Councilman Swearingen, and passed by unanimous vote to award Cash Contract #463 - Police Department Addition,'- in the amount of $59,955'to Affiliated Builders, Inc. (Account #21-13920); and reject the single bid received on Cash Contract #462A - Community Development Office Modifications (Account #21-13919) and combined bids on both contracts. Mr. Thompson pointed out a reappropriation was also requested for the Commu- nity Development Office modifications because if not awarded this fiscal year the amount appropriated for this project will lapse. Mayor Jackman feels the Council should be given more time in which to discuss and think about the reappropriation. Mr. Henriksen outlined a request for an additional appropriation of $1500 before the end of this fiscal year in order to complete construction on Downey Improvement Project #705, Dinwiddie Street. He added that outside the amount of $516, which staff proposes to be a City contribution for construction of sidewalk and wheelchair ramp at the southwest corner of Dinwiddie and Ryerson all of the rest of the moneys will be returned to the City by owners adjacent to the project. It was moved by Councilman Swearingen, seconded by Councilman Quinn, and passed by unanimous vote to authorize the transfer of $1500 from the General Fund Unappropriated Fund Balance to Account #40-15012 Dinwiddie Street Sidewalk and participation in the project for construction of sidewalk and wheelchair ramp at the southwest corner of Dinwiddie Street and Ryerson Avenue. MISCELLANEOUS ACTIONS It was moved by Councilman Swearingen, seconded by Councilman Quinn, and passed by the following vote to grant the appeal to Zone variance #123, 8509 Imperial Highway. Councilman Cormack said he has taken a look at the property and feels since spot zoning has been granted on the site, signs are needed to identify the busi- ness. He does not see that block letters on the frontage to Imperial would be a detriment to the area. Council Minutes 6/24/80 -7- ;, P Mayor Jackman does not think it is necessary to have signs on the front and side of the building. He would be willing to go along with the variance and allow the applicant to keep the lighted signs presently in the window, but no more than that. Councilman Cormack feels there can be a simplesolution to the signs in the windows so they will conform to the City's ordinance. AYES: 4 Council Members: Swearingen, Mackaig, Quinn, Cormack NOES: 1 Council Member: Jackman Mr. Sorensen stated this will require a resolution to be brought back at the next Council Meeting. It was moved by Councilman Mackaig, seconded by Councilman Swearingen, and passed by unanimous vote to approve Amendments to the Rio Hondo Golf Course Maintenance Contract with Zeke Avila and Sons, as provided in the proposed 1980-81 Golf Course Budget. Revised City -Downey -Theatre Association Agreement Mr. Neavill explained the Lease and Amendment are the result of the Associa- tion not being able to qualify for a Performance Bond, and it is recommended this be replaced with a Fidelity Bond, which they can secure without any problem. In staff's estimation, the Fidelity Bond would provide assurances that are needed for the contract. It is proposed that on Page 10, Article IV, the provision for Performance Bond be replaced with a clause providing for a Fidelity Bond. It was moved by Councilman Mackaig, seconded by Councilman Swearingen, and passed by unanimous vote to amend the Agreement to include the Fidelity Bond provision. It was moved by Councilman Mackaig, seconded by Councilman Swearingen, and passed by the following vote to approve the Revised City -Downey Theatre Associa- tion Agreement. Councilman Cormack asked if the Association is in agreement with this. Councilman Mackaig replied yes, and the Agreement meets the criteria the Council has set. AYES: 5 Council Members: Swearingen, Mackaig, Quinn, Cormack, Jackman Revised By -Laws of the Downey Theatre Association Councilman Mackaig cited changes in the By -Laws, which the Council had agreed to, with regard to increasing the number of Board of Directors from seven to nine and to have the Director of Parks & Recreation as a voting member. However, he indicated after review, the City Attorney does not feel the Council Member acting as liaison should have a vote, so the Council liaison will have ex-officio, non -voting status. Mayor Jackman stated since this is a new Agreement and new By -Laws, the Board of Directors should elect new officers and not have them automatically elected beforehand; plus, a member from the Recreation & Community services Commission should be elected because there are three new members on the Commission. Mr. Neavill mentioned the Board is planning a reorganization meeting during July, at which time the Board will be re-elected completely and go through the process of selecting new Board members with recommendation to the City Council for filling vacancies. It was moved by Councilman Mackaig, seconded by Councilman Swearingen, and passed by unanimous vote to approve the revised By -Laws of the Downey Theatre -- Association. Revised Rental Rates, Equipment and Personnel Charges for the Downey Theatre Association Mr. Neavill cited changes in the rates which involve a reduction for daytime uses and rehearsals. The personnel charges would be for persons employed by the Downey Theatre Association, who in many instances would be people who were formerly on the City payroll. He commented on the intention to secure qualified personnel and said the present employee of the Association is well qualified and would be in- strumental in setting up the program for training and qualifying personnel. Council Minutes 6/24/80 -8- It was moved by Councilman Mackaig, seconded by Councilman Swearingen, and passed by unanimous vote to approve the revised Rental Rates. Approval of Board Members for the Downey Theatre Association Mr. Neavill explained his interpretation as far as the board members are con- cerned is that in accordance with the revised By -Laws, the existing board members listed would have an opportunity to indicate whether or not they wish to continue serving, and if so, he would assume the board would have the option to either accept or consider other candidates.
