RESOLUTIONS: None ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Attorney Fees Payment; Correspondence from Luis R. Sanchez and Dorothy G. Hall regarding Pending Litigation Mayor Santangelo turned over the chair to Mayor Pro Tem Boggs. Dorothy Hall, 9200 Smallwood Avenue, expressed her feelings that the taxpayers should not have to pay legal fees for Mayor Santangelo when he has assertedly violated the law and the City has not. Mr. Steven Findley, 7857 Baysinger Street, said Mayor Santangelo was acting on behalf of the City and it was not his place to determined whether the issue was controversial and he should vote or not vote. He is opposed to the City not standing behind its elected officials and representatives. Mr. William Hall, 9200 Smallwood Avenue, expressed his understanding that Mayor Santangelo voted as a member of a public body on an item of business having to do with his financial welfare. He feels the people should have a chance to vote on this issue. Mr. Jim Derry, 7845 Fourth Street, said Mayor Santangelo acted in good faith and in the end will be vindicated. It is his understanding the City Council Minutes 8/12/86 -3- Attorney approved that Mayor Santangelo could vote on the issue, and it is appropriate the City assume the legal fees. Mr. Bob Verderber, 12828 Verdura, mentioned he served on the PAC Committee with Mayor Santangelo before he became Councilman, and he knows him to be a man of honesty and integrity. The City has to defend itself and Mayor Santangelo. Mrs. Terry Lambros, 9715 Brookshire Avenue, said Mayor Santangelo's vote was based on the advice of the City Attorney and she questioned whether it is fair to elect a man to office, provide him with legal counsel, and then expect him to bear the financial burdens inflicted on him for following the advice of legal counsel. Mr. Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee, referred to a newspaper article which stated the Council at the last meeting met in closed session and then came out and announced no decision was made when, in fact, the paper stated a decision had been made. He feels the Council should handle matters in the open and not behind closed doors. Mr. Wallis Hunt, 10933 Cord Avenue, said the citizens elect Council Members to represent them and run the City, and they should support the Council in its actions. Mayor Pro Tem Boggs stated that in accordance with longstanding policy of paying Tegal expenses of members of the City Council for litigation arising from their actions in office, the City Council has determined in the case of Mayor Santangelo to pay such expenses. The Council cannot discuss the details in public because such discussion might jeopardize the City's position in the Santangelo matter and other litigation. Mayor Santangelo resumed as chairman of the meeting. Water Utility Capital Improvements Mr. Ralph explained a number of improvements need to be made in the water system in an effort to bring the original Downey -County water system and the two major systems previously purchased into one well -operated network. He also noted the best approach to financing the project would be through revenue bonds, and staff would like to explore the feasibility of obtaining the triangle area east of the San Gabriel River in an effort to serve all the City, which would also require staff to commence with engineering work, preparing estimates, and looking more in-depth at the cost of what needs to be done. Staff will report back to Council at various stages of the process. Councilman Cormack expressed concern about a rate increase for the Downey - County Water District acquired at no cost to the City to defray the cost to purchase or improve other water systems. He feels there should be some consideration made for the customers of that water district. Mr. Ralph indicated future reports will attempt to address this issue., It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Boggs, seconded by Councilman Cormack, and passed by unanimous vote to commit to moving forward on the water system pro- ject, and select the proposal from the engineering firm of James M. Montgomery to provide engineering services for this project. ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR It was moved by Councilman Barb, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Boggs, and passed by unanimous vote to approve the Minutes, Adjourned Regular Meeting of June 19, 1986, with the following addition: In Paragraph one, under Code Enforcement Program, sixth line, that "certain office equipment" should read "word processors." It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Boggs, seconded by Councilman Barb, and passed by unanimous vote to approve the Minutes, Regular Meeting of July 22, 1986, with a correction on Page 8, third paragraph, regarding the Pornography Issue, the words "Police Report" should read "Meese Report." Proposed Banner Poles - Firestone Boulevard east of Brookshire Avenue Mayor Pro Tem Boggs is concerned about the $20,000-$25,000 estimated cost for preparing plans and for construction of the banner poles. Council Minutes 8/12/86 -4- &,, V15 Mr. Ralph explained this is an estimate of what staff feels the cost will be. If approved, plans will be prepared, bids obtained, and it will come back to Council for award of the actual contract cost. It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Boggs, and passed by the following vote to authorize staff to proceed with final design and acquisition of easements and approve the transfer of $3,500 from the unappro- priated fund balance of Capital Project funds (Fund 40) to Account No. 40-13018. Councilman Cormack said the banner would be placed over Firestone at Brookshire, and it is time the City did something of this nature to let people know what is taking place in Downey. AYES: 3 Council Members: Cormack, Barb, Santangelo NOES: 2 Council Members: Boggs, Paul OTHER BUSINESS - Staff Members: None OTHER BUSINESS - City Council Councilman Cormack indicated the Disposition and Development Agreement with Angelo Cardono says the City is to do certain offsite improvements, which it is now backing away from. He said Mr. Cardono has paid certain invoices, which he would like staff to look into. It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded,by Councilman Barb, and passed by unanimous vote to place this matter on the next Agenda. Councilman Cormack will provide the information for the meeting. It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Boggs, and passed by unanimous vote that the City of Downey declare September 17-23, 1987, as Constitution Week and to begin working on a program with the DAR, high schools, veterans organizations, and other citizens and organizations in the community. Councilman Cormack would like the Council to appoint a blue ribbon committee of citizens interested in having a local newspaper and to immediately go to work on surveying the business people for their interest and support and some of the nearby newspapers that may be interested. He will either make an appointment or serve on the committee. Mayor Santangelo mentioned the Downey Chamber of Commerce did a survey and came back with over 400 positive comments about the City's need for a local newspaper. He recommended asking the Chamber of Commerce to provide input to the committee. It was moved by Councilman Cormack, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Boggs, and passed by unanimous vote that the Council come forward at the next regular meeting with two nominees. Mayor Santangelo requested the City Manager to circulate a reminder to the Council. It was moved by Councilman Cormack to take action to discontinue plot planning for substandard developments in some portions of the City. He was asked if the motion would include a staff report so that the Council could have a better understanding of this matter, and he replied yes. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barb and passed by the following vote. Mr. Ralph feels it would be appropriate to have the matter discussed by the Planning Commission for preparing a report back to Council. AYES: 5 Council Members: Boggs, Cormack, Barb, Paul, Santangelo Councilman Cormack cited concern over growing problems with narcotics and called for a coordinated effort of organizations in the city to work toward this problem. Mayor Santangelo asked that this matter be coordinated with the Southeast Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. Council Minutes 8/12/86 -5- Councilman Barb said during budget sessions the Council authorized the Police Department to begin the DARE program in the schools, and he requested the Council to allow him to be liaison and coordinate this between the Council and the community. He would also be willing to volunteer time to establish a City fund where people can donate to the program and the DARE project, as well as work on keeping the Council advised on this matter and what is going on in the community. So ordered by the Mayor. Mayor Pro Tem Boggs commented on receipt of a petition from residents on Orange Street, and she asked staff to take whatever action is necessary to correct the problem as soon as possible. Mayor Pro Tem Boggs called for placing a cap on campaign spending for City Council elections. Mayor Pro Tem Boggs mentioned she has requested a report on extending permits for garage sales to more than one per year. Mayor Pro Tem Boggs has received numerous complaints about people required 10-15 years ago to. put in sidewalks when doing new construction. She said people are no longer putting in sidewalks, and she would like to see what the current si.dewalk plan is and propose a plan to complete partial sidewalks that are scattered throughout the City; that the main streets be done; and in areas where there are no sidewalks and people do not want them, that they be left alone. Mayor Pro Tem Boggs requested the Council arrange a field trip in the near future to visit the Refuse to Energy Plant in Commerce. It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Boggs, seconded by Councilman Paul, and passed by unanimous vote to let the employees know the Council will do every- thing legally possible to see that all of their benefits are protected should Proposition 61 - Gann Initiative pass in November. Councilman Barb questioned what the ramifications of the motion might be, but noted the initiative could devastate the State in a lot of areas. He would like to know more about this issue. Councilman Cormack expressed his willingness to escort the Council through the Refuse to Energy Program. Mayor Pro Tem Boggs commented regarding the problem with Political Signs, and she asked that Councilman Paul be included in discussions with staff to work on this while there are no pending local elections. Mayor Santangelo asked the City Clerk to prepare a carry-over list of items requested by the Council. Councilman Paul mentioned for the people wondering about proposed changes to the Ordinance regarding Street Vendors that litigation is still pending and the City Attorney will be in touch with the attorney representing the partici- pants and the discussion will continue. He thanked the people who sent in their correspondence setting forth their views. He also noted there has never been any thought in his processes to impact upon the Ordinance as it relates to schools. Councilman Paul referred to a newspaper article regarding District Attorney attack on the Council's closed meetings and expressed his views against the findings of a District Attorney made public without all the facts. Councilman Paul concurred with the examinatfon of campaign spending. Councilman Paul said the sidewalks on Paramount Boulevard in front of the Country Butcher start with cement and then change to asphalt. He asked that this be examined. Councilman Barb commented on the need for a soundwall on the Santa Ana Freeway at Dollison Drive and said Downey's Assemblyman has been working on putting a bill together to be introduced next session. Also, through work by Council Minutes 8/12/86 -6- echq the Traffic Department, Caltrans, and others who have participated with the residents, everyone agrees the on -ramp at Dollison should be closed and to open the on -ramp at Florence and Fairford to eastbound traffic. Mayor Santangelo requested the Council to consider the possibility of providing air conditioning for the Downey Museum of Art facility. He also hopes the Museum of Art can get some publicity in the Downey Communicator, along with other organizations providing a service to the community. Mayor Santangelo reiterated his previous request for a suggestion box in the lobby of City Hall entitled "Talk to your Councilman," to give people the opportunity to address their specific Council person as to their needs or complaints and ideas. He asked staff to expedite this. Mayor Santangelo noted an entry in the Congressional Record for Tuesday, March 15th, by Congressman Glenn Anderson, announcing Downey's fund raising efforts for the Space Shuttle Memorial. Mayor Santangelo then reported on his trip as Downey's representative to the City of Ensenada for dedication of a new street "Collema de Downey". He noted that one of the highlights was meeting with the Mayor of Ensenada, who made it clear that Ensenada is strong in its effort to make sure no narcotics leave the port and come near California borders. Ensenada is also looking forward to shipping its tuna to points of entry in the United States. ADJOURNMENT: 9:38 p.m. The meeting was adjourned to 6:30 p.m., August 26, 1986, in the Council Chamber of Downey City Hall. Robert L.
