ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 24, 1971
The City Council of the City of Lynwood met in an adjourned
regular session in the City Hall, 11330 Bullis Road, on
above date at 4:30 p.m.
Mayor Liewer in the chair.
Councilman Byork, Green, Liewer, Morris and Stevens
answered the roll call.
1971-72 Tax The City Manager presented a report on the establishment
Rate set of general fund and retirement tax rates for the fiscal
year 1971-72. The report reviewed steps taken during
budget sessions to reduce the budgetary deficit, which
remains at $59,580.00. While various measures designed
to produce additional revenue for use by local governments
are being considered by the State legislature, it is
doubtful that the current legislative session will
produce the assistance needed by the city. The Manager
reported that at this time he had no alternative but to
recommend a tax rate increase of .08~ per $100 of assessed
valuation to develop .the deficit amount of $59,580.00.
An .08~ increase would result in a total of .79~ per
$100 assessed valuation for General Fund purposes, which,
combined with the current retirement rate of .22~ per
$100 of assessed valuation, would result in a total
municipal tax rate of $1.01 per $100 of assessed valuation.
The Manager informed the Council that a resolution has
been prepared establishing the General Fund tax rate at
.79~ per $100 assessed valuation and the retirement rate
at the existing .22~ for the 1971-72 fiscal year.
Res. 71-56 In discussing the recommended tax rate increase_,_ahe,Manage
Setting was questioned concerning the stability of the proposed rat
1971-72 Tax in light of commercial development planned for the city. He
Rate expressed the view that the Montgomery Ward development wil
be of considerable assistance bu that there will be an
estimated four and one-half to five .million dollar reductic
in assessed valuation along the route of the freeway, and i
is very likely that taxes will again have to be increased
unless it is determined that services will be reduced or
State legislative action results in added municipal revenuE

Report on A report was presented by the City Manager on the progress
design of of the proposed industrial park within the interchange
industrial area of the Century and Long Beach Freeways, the concept for
park at which has been accepted by both the Federal Bureau of Roads
freeway and the State Division of Highways. Because of time
interchange limitations imposed by the design department of the State
Division of Highways, it is now necessary that the specific
design and location of the industrial park service road be
established in order that the State can complete the design
of bridge structural columns to be placed adjacent to the
industrial park road. He reported that ordinarily, design
responsibility for the roadway would rest with the private
developer, but as to date there is no private developer.
However, there is considerable interest in the industrial
park, and it would appear to be in the best interests of
the city to undertake the design in order to insure the
coordination offered by the State in construction of a
bridge structure designed around the width and turn radius
requirements of the industrial street system. Since
precise design of the industrial park has been assigned
47
to the firm of Lampman and Associates, it is practical
that they undertake the interior street design of the
industrial park. The firm proposes to do the engineering
work with the fee to be based on a percentage of the
final construction cost. The fee is estimated at
$8,200. The Manager recommended that the Council accept
the proposal of Lampman and Associates for construction
design of the proposed roadway and instruct the Mayor
to sign the necessary contract. A map of the inter-
change area and proposed industrial park was presented
for the Council's. consideration.
It was moved by Councilman Green, seconded by Council-
man Stevens, that the Council accept the proposal of
Lampman and Associates for construction design of
theproposed roadway.

Clerk be authorized to cast a unanimous ballot for Mr.
Courtney Dalton to fill the unexpired term of Mr. E.L.
Morris as a member of the Recreation Commission.
The Manager reported briefly concerning the Federal
Emergency Employment Act, stating that he had only
sketchy knowledge of the Act at this time, but would
attend a meeting on August 25, 1971, called by Mr.
Gordon Nesvig, Director of Personnel, Los Angeles
County.
It was moved by Councilman Stevens, seconded by
Councilman Byork, and carried, that the meeting
