Santangelo Mayor Pro Tem Diane P. Boggs Robert G. Cormack Randall R. Barb ALSO PRESENT: Don Davis, City Manager Carl K. Newton, City Attorney James R. Cutts, Director of Community Development William A. Ralph, Director of Public Works Lee Powell, Director of Administrative Services William F. Martin, Police Chief Ronald Irwin, Fire Chief James R. Jarrett, Director of Community Services Scot Yotsuya, Assistant to the City Manager Sylvia Garcia, Communications Specialist Robert L. Shand, City Clerk -Treasurer Judy McDonnell, Executive Secretary INVOCATION AND FLAG SALUTE The Invocation was delivered by Reverend Gary Swearingen, First Christian Church. The Flag Salute was led by Mr. Harry Taormina. PRESENTATIONS Ms. Sylvia Garcia, the City's Communications Specialist, commented on selection of two companies to submit designs for a new City Logo. Mr. Howard Blonder of Blonder & Associates of Downey, and Brian Wormley of Wormley/Takei, Inc., each came forward and narrated slide presentations of their proposed logo designs. Councilman Barb does not see a need to change the City seal and indicated he will not vote for either logo presented. Mr. Yotsuya explained it is not the intent to replace the seal or words "Future Unlimited" but to have a logo used for certain stationery, signage, vehicle applications, and other areas considered appropriate. Mayor Davila concurred with Councilman Barb in keeping the City seal. Councilman Santangelo mentioned Downey has a new City Hall and has moved beyond what it was many years ago. He favors moving forward with a new logo but not doing away with the City seal. It was moved by Councilwoman Boggs and seconded by Councilman Santangelo to engage the services of Blonder & Associates in proceeding with the logo, recog- nizing this would not be eliminating the City seal but to have both a logo and seal to use in identifying the City. AYES: 2 Council Members: Boggs, Santangelo NOES: 3 Council Members: Barb, Cormack, Davila Failed. A Proclamation commending Dr. Manuel Gallegos on his retirement as Superin- tendent of Downey Unified School District will be presented by Councilman Cormack on February 12th. Council Minutes 2/11/86 -1- ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Selection of Rio Hondo Golf Course Professional -Manager Mayor Davila indicated he was not present at the last meeting but listened to the tape recording He said the Council would be willing to hear any addi- tional information from the applicants not presented at the last meeting. Mr. Bob Boughner, 16164 Tawny Ridge, Victorville, cited corrections in his 1984 tax return regarding interest paid on his company automobiles and inventory and responded to questions of the Council. Mr. MacDonald was asked if he had any further information to provide, and he replied no. It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Councilman Barb, and passed by the following vote to award an agreement to Bruce MacDonald for a three (3) year period beginning May 1, 1986, through April 30, 1989, according to terms and conditions provided in the agreement. AYES: 4 Council Members: Santangelo, Cormack, Barb, Davila NOES: 1 Council Member: Boggs Mayor Davila declared a recess from 8:32 p.m. to 8:37 p.m. The meeting resumed with all Council Members present. It was moved by Councilwoman Boggs, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and passed by the following vote to send the Council Meeting Procedure back to staff for further consideration. Eleanor Lindenfeld, 8846 Manzanar, expressed her views against the pro- posed Ordinance, noting some of the language is unnecessary and Section 2 is against the law. Mr. Mike Manicone, 10400 Gaybrook, said approving a proposal to limit debate would be punishing all people, and the Council's concern should be directed toward those who abuse the rules, not those who abide by them. Betty Kenley, 9028 Manzanar, President of the League of Women Voters, read a statement of the League's objection to the urgency Ordinance, a copy of which was distributed to the Council and is on file in the office of the City Clerk. Mr. Jim Derry, 7845 Fourth Street, does not feel an Ordinance is needed and that the Council has within its power to enlist certain guidelines for the public to follow. He suggested adding to the publication on display in the Council Chamber a few simple guidelines for people to follow and an outline on how to make a presentation. Mr. Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee, said the Ordinance could allow the Council to set different time limits for people wishing to speak, as well as limiting the number of persons to speak at a hearing. Referred back to staff. HEARINGS Mayor Davila opened the hearing on V-149, Vacation of Second Street and New Street, which was continued from the adjourned regular meeting of February 4, 1986. It was moved by Councilman Santangelo, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and so ordered to continue the hearing to 7:30 p.m., March 11, 1986, in the Council Chamber of Downey City Hall. Mayor Davila opened the hearing on Extension of Moratorium on Construction of Hotels and Motels. He asked if the City Clerk had the Proof of Publication, and the response was yes. It was moved by Councilman Barb, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and so ordered to receive and file the Proof. Mayor Davila asked if the City Clerk had received any correspondence, and the response was no. Council Minutes 2/11/86 -2- Mr. Cutts explained the moratorium in effect will expire on February 22nd, and it is proposed to extend for 120 days. There is a action on the Agenda later in the meeting to set a hearing on code amendment for hotels and motels for February 25th, so the full 120 days may not be needed. Mayor Davila -asked if there was anyone present to speak in opposition to extending the moratorium. Mr. John Gonzalez, 12350 Orizaba, said he is opposed because it is not fair to Mrs. Bolado, who is about to lose her property. Jan Tannyhill, 11919 Pomering Road, questioned whether there is a logical reason for the moratorium and is opposed to low quality motels that might be used for prostitution and other types of crime but noted there are very good low cost motel chains used by busines travellers. Mayor Davila explained the moratorium was originally imposed after a zone variance was filed to construct a motel next to a residential area, and the moratorium was established to allow staff time to study locations where motels would be appropriate rather than next to churches and residential areas. Mrs. Tannyhill then stated she is not opposed to the moratorium. Mr. Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee, commented on Mrs. Bolado's purchase of a rest home on Firestone Boulevard and of the subsequent problems that occurred after Code violations were found on the property. He said she has attempted to construct a new rest home, which was turned down by the Planning Commission as not being right for the area and of the City Council's denial of her appeal with recommendation that Redevelopment staff talk to her about pur- chasing the property. He asked the Council to exempt the property since it was already in escrow at the time the moratorium went into effect, or shorten the period to 30 days so that she can go forward with the sale of her property. Mr. Chandu Patel, (inaudible), Rowland Heights, said he has proposed the Comfort Inn on Mrs. Bolado's property and that a reduction in the moratorium — from 120 to 75 days would be helpful. However, he asked that if there is need for further extension that this property be deleted. Mr. David Ray, 7338 Nada, said the Planning Commission's action was that any zoning for hotels should be subject to a conditional use permit. He suggested when the Council conducts the February 25th hearing on the code amend- ment conerning hotels and motels that the moratorium be removed at that time. There being no one else to speak in opposition, Mayor Davila asked if anyone wished to speak in favor. Mr. John Jewell, 12450 Lakewood Boulevard, favored the moratorium because there are many motels in the City to cover the needs of the population. There being no one else to speak, it was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Councilman Barb, and so ordered to close the hearing. Mayor Davila asked the Council to exempt Mrs. Bolado's property if it moves forward with the moratorium. Mr. Newton explained a specific property could not be exempt from the operation of an ordinance of this nature, but that a class of properties could be, and if Mrs. Bolado's property fell within a certain class then all the properties meeting the class requirement would qualify for an exemption. He - stated that if it is the Council's intention to introduce and adopt the ordi- nance to amend the Code, a 60-day period would be sufficient time to have the moratorium extended, although 75 days have been recommended just in case. It was moved by Councilwoman Boggs and seconded by Councilman Barb to extend the urgency ordinance pertaining to the moratorium on establishment of hotels and motels in the City of Downey for a period of 75 days. Mayor Davila favored extending the moratorium for 60 days. He then recessed the meeting to closed session from 9:22 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for the purpose of engaging in attorney -client communication. The meeting resumed with all Council Members present.

The ambulance contract expires February 28th. Mayor Davila questioned the ambulance company's proximity to the City enabling it to provide backup service. It was moved by Councilwoman Boggs, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and passed by unanimous vote to approve contracting backup emergency ambulance service with Adams Ambulance Service, Inc., and authorize the Mayor to sign. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - Items not on Agenda Mr. John Gonzalez, 12350 Orizaba, asked Mayor Davila if he had a copy of a 200-page document delivered to the City Clerk's Office on December 9, 1985, and Mayor Davila replied he did not recall seeing the document. Mr. Gonzalez said the document contained a title search on Firestone Boulevard, and he expressed knowledge of others having copies of the document. Mr. Richard Jennings, 7435 Stewart & Gray Road, complimented the Council for its action on the Pro -Manager for the Golf Course and noting the audio problem during Council Meetings, requested engineering staff to re -design the microphones in the Council Chamber so that people can hear. Mr. Michael Rosenberg said he is representing Brookshire Partners, who has been placed in additional hardship by denial of the conditional use permit for College House. He requested Council reconsideration and authorize College House to remain at the Downey Retirement Center for a period of 12 months. This request is due to the low census the retirement center is experiencing. Mr. Newton advised the Council would not have the power to reconsider an action taken at the last meeting --that action became final upon adoption of the resolution.

AYES: 5 Council Members: Santangelo, Boggs, Cormack, Barb, Davila ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - Staff Members: None ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - Audience: None ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - City Council Councilwoman Boggs said it has been brought to her attention there is a — person serving on two commissions who is planning to move out of the City and has been requested to resign, and she made a motion that David Ray be removed from both the Planning Commission and Personnel Advisory Board. Mr. David Ray, 7338 Nada, said he is sure Mr. Shand informed the Council that he had taken out nomination papers to run in District 2, and the letter written is incorrect. He is running for District 2, is in the community, and he requested the letter be disposed of since it is not correct. He did mention at one time he had considered moving out of the City but is going to stay and will proudly serve the community. Mayor Davila stated he was informed by Mr. Ray he was buying a home in another city and that his property was up for sale. He has two candidates interested in the positions, and he sent a letter to Mr. Ray requesting his resignation in view of his moving out of town, which Mr. Ray refused to do. He has no objection to Mr. Ray running for election and mentioned he had encouraged him to do so in the past. Mayor Davila was asked if it is his desire to have Mr Ray removed, and he replied yes. AYES: 5 Council Member: Santangelo, Boggs, Cormack, Barb, Davila Mayor Davila will have resolutions at the next meeting replacing Mr. Ray in the two positions. Councilman Santangelo reported on receipt of a letter from Mrs. Hunt — regarding an Ordinance regarding the parking of vehicles over six feet in height within 100 feet of an intersection. Mr. Ralph will check into it and come back to the Council. Councilman Santangelo also commented on a letter from his appointee to the Traffic Committee who indicates the Committee has not solved the parking problem at the Jack LaLanne facility, and he feels staff should be advised to get on with this problem. Council Minutes 2/11/86 -6- Councilman Barb also received correspondence on this, and it is his under- standing the Traffic Committee did take action and suggest parking restrictions on the street. He has received correspondence from the neighbors saying they did not want the parking restrictions and suggested dealing with the major problem of on -site parking and permanent off -site parking on a nearby parcel. Mr. Ralph said a petition has been prepared and sent out to the property owners, and as soon as it has been returned information will be provided to the Council. He mentioned a more permanent solution would have to do with on -site. Councilman Barb said he has received a photocopy of the petition and people were opposed to parking. Councilman Cormack said the City needs to look into the legality of proper use of the building. Councilman Santangelo will provide copies of the letter to Council and staff. Councilman Barb inquired regarding status of landscaping project on Firestone and Lakewood. Mr. Ralph replied staff is still attempting to get approvals from the State on use of materials. Councilman Barb would like phases of the project to begin, and if there are problems with signs they can wait and be done at completion of the project. Mr. Ralph suggested the Council give staff direction to revise the plans and go with items Caltrans will approve so this can proceed. Staff was directed to to report back as soon as possible. Councilman Barb commented regarding use of school property by various groups and said at the City -School meetings he attended last year they were told these are authorized uses. Guidelines were set to control the use, which was to be adopted as an ordinance. Chief Martin mentioned the School District did not know it had entered into a contract with different groups --each Principal is allowed to do that on his own. Ordinances have been prepared by the City Attorney's office, but the County Counsel said ordinances cannot be passed regulating school properties. Mr. Newton concurred and said the County Counsel has indicated it cannot approve the Ordinances as proposed --it will study the matter and bring back an alternative approach. Councilman Barb also mentioned funds are contributed by parents to pay for Police security at basketball games but large groups from areas outside the City are allowed to come in and hold sporting events that draw more people and do not provide security. He feels this is a serious problem that needs to be addressed quickly. Staff was asked to put this matter on the next City -School Committee meeting. Mayor Davila commented on receipt of a letter from Cerritos College requesting nomination of a person in the community who has contributed toward education and he submitted the name of retired Judge Leon Emerson, who instituted the Southeast Council on Drug Abuse and contributed a great deal to the community and served many years on the judicial system. Councilwoman Boggs said she would like to nominate Mrs. Grace Horney who has served over 20 years as a volunteer on the Downey Unified School District Board of Education and recognize her contribution to education in the community. She did point out that this nomination is not intended to take away credit for the marvelous job done by retired Judge Emerson. It was moved by Councilwoman Boggs, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and passed by unanimous vote to recommend to Cerritos College Mrs. Grace Horney of Downey for her service of over 20 years on the Downey Unified School District Board of Education and provide back-up data to submit with the nomination. Council Minutes 2/11/86 -7- Mayor Davila reported on an invitation from the Downey Senior Citizens Services of Los Angeles County requesting the name of a senior citizen to be recognized on the observance of Older Americans Day, May 31, 1986. He then made a motion to submit the name of Mrs. Faith Temple, which was seconded by Councilman Cormack and passed by unanimous vote.
