No sidewalks have been installed, the landscaping has not been done, and the conditional use permit has expired. He said the City has bent over backwards allowing the property owner time to put in the improvements, and now is the time to see that the work is done. Council Minutes 5/22/84 -3- -711J-5� Mr. Bill Hanes of Hanes Menser Architects, 8601 Florence Avenue, said his firm has been retained by the property owner to design major developments proposed for the property on the west end of Firestone Boulevard.

It was moved by Councilman Davila to deny the encroachment permit. The motion died for lack of a second. It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Barb, and passed by the following vote to continue to the next meeting as requested.

RESOLUTION NO. 4402 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY RELATIVE TO THE DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS NO LONGER NEEDED Councilman Davila expressed concern that records be microfilmed rather than destroyed, so that they will always be available. Mr. Ovrom explained the records which are required to be kept by law are being microfilmed, but as to those records not required to be retained and having no useful value, it is recommended they be destroyed. The Resolution was read by title only. It was moved by Councilman Davila, seconded by Councilman Quinn, and passed by unanimous vote to waive further reading and to adopt. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - Items not on Agenda: None ORDINANCES ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY AMENDING THE DOWNEY MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING SECTION 9160.08, SUBSECTION (e) (2) WHICH RELATES TO APPEALS Council Minutes 5/22/84 -4- The Ordinance was read by title only. It was moved by Councilman Quinn and seconded by Councilman Jackman to waive further reading and to introduce. Councilman Barb said this would be changing the appeal process and that there is only a period of six days between Planning Commission and City Council meetings, which is adequate time for setting a hearing. He feels that changing the procedure would be giving away the opportunity for people to have the representative from their Council district consider their zone case. This Ordinance would severely hamper the Council from representing their people. Mr. Ovrom explained the Ordinance was recommended by staff as a means of speeding up the process because people have complained regarding the time it takes to go through City bureaucracy. AYES: 2 Council Members NOES: 3 Council Members Failed. Jackman, Quinn Barb, Davila, Cormack ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY REPEALING SECTION 3300, AND SECTIONS 3307 THROUGH 3318, AND SECTIONS 3320 THROUGH 3333, AND SECTIONS 3352 THROUGH 3367 OF THE DOWNEY MUNCIPAL CODE, AND ADDING SECTION 3300, AND SECTIONS 3307 THROUGH 3318 AND SECTIONS 3320 THROUGH 3333, AND SECTIONS 3352 THROUGH 3364 ADOPTING THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE, 1982 EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF BUILDING OFFICIALS AND WESTERN FIRE CHIEF'S ASSOCIATION AND PROVIDING FOR ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO SAID CODE (sets the hearing for 7:30 p.m., June 12, 1984) The Ordinance was read by title only. It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Barb, and passed by unanimous vote to waive further reading and to introduce. ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY APPROVING A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES The Ordinance was read by title only. Councilman Barb suggested holding the vote on this issue until after the Councilmanic election in two weeks. It was then moved by Councilman Davila, seconded by Councilman Quinn, and passed by the following vote to set this matter on the agenda after the election. Mr. Ovrom indicated the Ordinance would be placed on the Agenda for consideration the second meeting in June. AYES: 4 Council Members: Jackman, Barb, Quinn, Cormack NOES: 1 Council Member: Davila ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR TAX INCREMENT FUNDS The Ordinance was read by title only. It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Barb, and passed by the following vote to waive further reading and to introduce. Mr. Ovrom explained the Ordinance provides for an agreement between the City and County regarding the new Project Amendment No. 3 for a split of Property Tax increments over the life of the project area of 55 percent to the County and 45 percent to the Redevelopment Agency. Also, the agreement provides that the Rancho Los Amigos property would be deleted from the project Council Minutes 5/22/84 -5- area. Staff will be meeting with Supervisor Schabarum to discuss this further. Councilman Davila indicated it was his understanding Cerritos will be asking rcr their percentage of tax increment moneys, as well as the School District. He feels there are too many unknowns, and this should not be acted on until the City gets all the information. AYES: 4 Council Members: Jackman, Barb, Quinn, Cormack NOES: 1 Council Member: Davila RESOLUTIONS: None ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Medical Insurance Claims Administration - Request for Service Fee Increase It was moved by Councilman Barb, seconded by Councilman Quinn, and passed by unanimous vote to authorize renewal of the contract with James Benefits which provides for an increase in the monthly service fee from $6.37 to $7.00 per enrolled employee. It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Barb, and passed by the following vote to approve "Notices to Proceed" on three Proposal Requests under Cash Contract No. 485 - Civic Center Construction, and reserve the right, at a later date, to evaluate the costs and the assignment of the responsibility of same. Councilman Barb indicated these items appear to be a deficiency on the part of the architect, and he inquired about possibility of doing the work outside of the contract. Mr. Ralph replied some of the preliminary work has been done on the third proposal item, and it appears to staff that it would be best to do the work with the contract. The exception would be the mufflers for the generator, which is a large item under the third proposal item and can be done either by City personnel or under another contract. A discussion was held regarding safety gates for the interior parking lot of the Police Department, which was mentioned to be a grossly under -designed system. AYES: 4 Council Members: Jackman, Davila, Quinn, Cormack NOES: 1 Council Member: Barb It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Jackman, and passed by the following vote to approve a "Notice to Proceed" to Javaid Enterprises, Inc., for sandblasting the surfaces of all exposed aggregate slabs constructed under Cash Contract No. 516, Civic Center Site Improvements. Councilman Barb questioned why this is included as an addition when at the time of approving the aggregate concrete the Council was shown a sample which included sandblasting on the finished product. Mr. Ralph explained the original contract did not include sandblasting but contained a concept of a certain type of rock, samples of which were shown to the architect, who specified a particular type. However, the contractor was unable to produce a finish acceptable to the contractor, the architect, or the City. It was determined the only way to get a finish acceptable and reasonably uniform was to sandblast. He responded to further questions of the Council. AYES: 4 Council Members: Jackman, Davila, Quinn, Cormack NOES: 1 Council Member: Barb It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Jackman, and passed by unanimous vote to approve Change Order No. 1 - Civic Center Carpeting and authorize staff to provide C. 0. Minor, Inc., with a "Notice to Proceed" on the changes. The City will reserve the right to determine responsibility for the additional cost. Council Minutes 5/22/84 -6- Mr. Ovrom stated there was a deficiency in the specifications, which was the responsibility of the architect, and the City has every intention of going back to the architect with this. AYES: 5 Council Members: Jackman, Barb, Davila, Quinn, Cormack It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Barb, and passed by unanimous vote to authorize City staff to offer a $5,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of Perpetrator(s) of the April 13th Triple Homicides. RESOLUTION NO. 4402 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY AUTHORIZING RENEWAL OF A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES CONCERNING THE PERFORMANCE OF GENERAL SERVICES The Resolution was read by title only. It was moved by Councilman Jackman, and passed by unanimous vote to waive further reading and to adopt. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - Audience: Ms. Diane Boggs, 8629 Meadow Road, President of the Downey Chamber of Commerce, said the Board of Directors of the Chamber has gone on record in favor of the the Rancho Los Amigos property as the proposed site for the new Downey Municipal Court. She said the reasons the Chamber changed its previous position are costs, the method of purchasing land in the Civic Center area, and the inability of the City to demonstrate that off-street parking problems in the Civic Center area would be resolved by construction of the Courthouse. Mr. Joseph DiLoreto, 9266 Otto Street, thanked the Council for delaying its vote on the Resolution approving an Agreement with the County concerning the Courthouse location, and expressed his views in opposition to the Courthouse in the Civic Center. Also, the Southeast Bar has not taken a position on this issue, and the City of Norwalk has indicated its opposition. He expressed hope that the Council will have an opportunity to review its position on this matter, particularly in view of the costs involved and the position taken by respective members of the community. Dr. Gary McCaughan, 9911 Pomering Road, spoke in favor of the Courthouse in the Civic Center location. He mentioned that if redevelopment goes through and the Rancho property is dropped, the City will no longer have control over what will be developed at that location. If bonds are floated or other mechanism used where the City would be tied in, there would be a degree of control over how the property is developed. Mr. Brian Gasdia, 7830 East Fourth Street, concurred with Dr. McCaughan and mentioned that in cities which have a municipal court, the courthouse is located in the downtown area near its police facility and city hall. Mr. Paul Sarvis, 13603 Barlin, said there is room for both a jail house and courthouse on the Rancho property, if the County is so inclined. Also, he cannot find $15 million worth of reason for placing a courthouse in the civic center. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - City Council Councilman Barb commented regarding the proliferation of mini -markets in the City, the primary revenue of which seems to be from the sale of alcoholic beverages. He requested the Council to consider the possibility of a moratorium on conditional use permits until such time as staff can study this matter and come back with a report. It was moved by Councilman Barb, seconded by Councilman Quinn, and passed by the following vote to authorize the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for the next meeting. Mr. Newton explained State law provides that a moratorium would be effective for 45 days, and to extend it would require a public hearing. When asked about notifying all affected businesses, he said the moratorium cannot impair the existing operation of a store, nor can it have any retroactive effect. The moratorium would apply only to new applications. Council Minutes 5/22/84 -7- 12I/j 9 Mr. Ovrom indicated staff will attempt to make sure that known companies in the business are notified. AYES: 5 Council Members: Jackman, Barb, Davila, Quinn, Cormack Speaking to the Courthouse Site Location, Councilman Davila mentioned the Civic Center is no place for a Courthouse due to problems that occur with parking and traffic congestion. Mayor Cormack mentioned he has had complaints regarding self-service stations and their lack of equipment and services. Referred to staff. Mr. Newton explained that if the Planning Commission and staff are aware of conditions the Council wants to impose, they can be added as conditions to future approvals of any self-service station. However, as to existing stations, the Council does not have the power to impose additional conditions until an amendment is sought. CLOSED SESSION The meeting was recessed to closed session from 9:13 to 9:58 p.m. to discuss personnel and pending or potential litigation. The meeting resumed with all Council Members present.
