Mr. John Gonzalez, 12350 Orizaba Ave., spoke regarding qualifications for
the Design Review Board.
Mr. Norman Horney, Design Review Board Member, 9102 Angell St., reinforced
his previous opinion that people on the Design Review Board be Downey residents
only and he supported Mr. D'Alessandro's remarks.
The meeting recessed at 8:58 p.m. and reconvened at 9:15 p.m. with all
Council Members present.
The Ordinance was read by title only. It was moved by Council Member Barb,
seconded by Council Member Cormack, and carried 3-2 (Council Members Santangelo
and Paul voting no) to waive further reading and to adopt Ordinance No. 869.
RESOLUTIONS: None (See Hearings and Consent Calendar)
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
PROGRESS REPORT ON CHEYENNE AVENUE REVITALIZATION EFFORT
Community Development Director Cutts presented the staff report as set
forth in Agenda Memo dated May 24, 1988, entitled "Progress Report on Cheyenne
Avenue Revitalization Program".
Mayor Boggs asked that staff review Elm Vista Drive and see how conditions
are at the present. She also commented that some of the trees have died
possibly due to a lack of water.
Council inquired as to the time limit involved in the construction of
sidewalks and removal of non -conforming driveway approaches.
Mr. Ralph said the property owners will be given written notification after
this Council Meeting to construct sidewalks within thirty to sixty days and at
the end of that time, if they do not, then the City has to get a contract for
the work and get the appropriate funding.
Council Member Paul asked Mr. Ralph to check and see if the funding has
been set aside, since it was approved last year.
Mrs. Carmen Vineyard, 8153 Cheyenne Avenue, asked that Council not go onto
another project before completing this one. She stressed code enforcement is
desperately needed in this area due to trash in the alleys, particularly in the
area of Cheyenne Avenue and Gneiss Avenue, and property owners are not
maintaining their property. Mrs. Vineyard further said the property owners have
waited over a year for the sidewalks to be constructed.
Council asked that this be referred to Code Enforcement and requested that
staff investigate this situation. It was also requested that another trash bin
be put in the area if necessary.

also can see specific problems as the Ordinance applies to his business, the
outside display retail sales business. He again asked that the Temporary Stay
on the Sign Ordinance be granted so that the business people and the City can
communicate together.
Mr. Clarence Bailey, Owner of Bill Bailey Meats, said he is not affected by
the Sign Ordinance at this time. He feels that the business people asking for a
Temporary Stay on the Sign Ordinance deserve consideration for not more than
ninety days and see how they comply.
Council Member Santangelo clarified with Mr. Diloreto that in the Citizens
for Downey letter to the City dated May 11, 1988, a temporary stay is requested
on the Sign Ordinance for only four items and that these four items covered the
complaints they were getting from the business people.
Mr. DiLoreto said Citizens for Downey has met with the Chamber of Commerce
and they are now working together. He further said that Pat Gomez, President of
the Chamber of Commerce, attended their last Citizens for Downey Meeting.
Council discussed that the Sign Ordinance has been in force since,1978 and
that a ten-year period was given for compliance. Council Member Santangelo
suggested a 120-day stay contingent upon Chamber of Commerce input. No formal
action taken (see Council Minutes 4/26/88 and 5/10/88 for motion denying
request).
The meeting recessed at 10:42 p.m. and reconvened at 10:57 p.m. with all
Council Members present.
WEATHERITE SERVICE CORPORATION -OVERPAYMENT FOR MATERIALS
It was moved by Council Member Santangelo, seconded by Council Member Paul,
and unanimously carried that this matter be referred back to staff for further
investigation as to the allegations and items set forth in correspondence
received May 24, 1988 from Mr. Richard Henderson and that this item be continued
to the Council Meeting of June 28, 1988.
Prior to the foregoing vote, the below discussions ensued:
Mr. Henderson advised Council he did not know this item was going to be on
the Consent Calendar until Saturday, May 21, 1988, and that was why Council had
not received the letter sooner.
City Attorney Thorson recommended that Council not comment on this matter
due to the allegations made and a response obtained from staff.
Mr. Lennie Whittington presented to the City Clerk, for public record, a
copy of the May 24, 1988 letter (consisting of five pages) from Mr. Richard
Henderson, attorney. He later presented a letter (consisting of five pages)
dated February 23, 1988 from Mr. Richard Henderson.
