Mr. Sorensen stated the statute under which the Council is able to adopt a bingo ordinance limits the fee to $50 or a small percentage of the gross receipts. Council Minutes 10/24/81 -4- Mr. Donlevy said the percentage is two or three percent, and to monitor that would cost far more than a straight $50 license fee.

Mr. Don Robinson interrupted the chair and requested permission to comment on the prior Resolution, which was removed from the Agenda. He asked why it was removed. Mr. Donlevy replied staff feels this needs further review before making a full recommendation to the Council. _ Mr. Robinson pointed out this has been approved by the Parking Place Commis- sion and Planning Commission, and he was told today by staff they are standing behind their original recommendation. Mr. Donlevy said since that time there are still, some unanswered questions, and staff will be contacting Mr. Robinson. Mayor Mackaig promised Mr. Robinson the Council will vote on this at the next meeting. __._........_.._.........-__._....._ m to Hospital Lease, Continuing with Resolution No. 4046 concerning!Addendum. Mayor Mackaig asked if there was anyone present to address the Council, and five persons raised their hands. He said the number of speakers will be limited to those five persons, two minutes each. Mr. Jack Robinson, 8555 Gainford Avenue, spoke as a resident of the City, a member of the Board of Directors of the Downey Community Hospital, and Chairman of the committee that studied reversionary rights of the lease between the City and the Hospital. He commented on the voting measures to finance construction of the Hospital, which he said resulted in a Joint Powers Agreement for issuing non-taxable bonds. He pointed out the Hospital has responded to the needs of the community with approximately $4 million of additional improvements in facilities and is on the threshhold of building a $3.5 million addition of a much -needed ICU -CCU unit to be paid for with donations from the general public, a substantial amount of which has already been collected. Mr. Robinson concluded the Hospital has not and will not be a cost to the City --it will continue to respond to the needs of the community. They are only asking for revisionary rights after payment of the bond indenture. Mr. John Hundley, 10531 Casanes Avenue, said he speaks not only as a citizen but as a member and President of the Board of Directors of the Downey Community Hospital. He is aware and knowledgeable of the facts that the Hospital has to grow and move forward to stay viable and keep a good position in the medical community. Not only has:the Hospital been paying on the bonds,.but it has built new facilities paid for out of revenue from the Hospital. The Hospital has received in excess of $1.5 million with more pledges promised. Dr. John Alexander, 9725 Belder Drive, said he ;practices cardiology in the City at 10720 Paramount Boulevard and is Director of Cardiology and Coronary Care Council Minutes 11/24/81 -5- at the Downey Community Hospital. He expressed the need for growth of the Hospital to meet the changing technologies in medicine. Mr. Whittington, 8542 Manatee, commented on a letter he received from the Hospital concerning his property on Manatee, which he said was sent to all of the property owners on the east side of Brookshire between Manatee and Cleta, on the north side of Cleta Street, Patton Road, and south side of Manatee Street. He feels the Hospital's plan is to have a regional medical center similar to USC, and he would like to see this go to the vote of the people. Mr. Ken Miller, 7336 Cleargrove Drive, stated his opposition to the proposal for the Council to give away equity that exists in the multi -million dollar Hospital, and he feels there should be a hearing before the Council takes action. He discussed information obtained from researching this matter concerning the acqui---- sition of the present Hospital site, noting he could not find where the City was compensated for this amount. Mr. Miller requested the Council to have staff come back with a report to substantiate the fact that the Council would not be giving away taxpayers' money. Councilman Cormack said he has studied this and feels it is fair for the people of Downey with safeguards built in. Councilman Jackman indicated he will oppose the Resolution because it goes against strong commitments he made to his constituents, wherein he feels the people should vote on this. Mayor Mackaig asked for a show of hands of people in favor and then a show of hands of people in opposition. No count was taken. Mayor Mackaig is in favor of this because it gives the City additional time to watch over the Hospital and make sure they do what they say they will, but he feels it should be 50 years instead of 35 years. During discussion, Mr. Sorensen explained the agreement compels the Foundation to maintain the Hospital for 35 years, and if it fails to do so, then title would re -vest in the City. He responded to questions of Mr. Miller concerning the lease amendment.
