We recognize some of the goals you are trying to achieve and I hope the following recommendations will be given consideration by the City of Lynwood, We feel they are fair and equitable and should reduce the carnival atmosphere you felt existed, 1. That no sign shall be permitted in District No. 2 (Residential) except one (1) unlighted sign not exceeding six (6) square feet in size, including attached riders, containing advertising on one '1) side only, regarding the sale, lease or rental of the building and /or premises upon which it is displayed, and the name, address and telephone number of the owner and /or authorized agent for such owner. 2. That the sentence "Such advertising shall not contain any language connoting the completion of a transaction therefor, such as the sale or lease thereof" be deleted, 3. Such sign shall be located parallel to the sidewalk in front of the house or lot, and shall be set back not less than fifteen (15) feet from the sidewalk (if not concealed by shrubbery, in which case it may be placed directly in front of such shrubbery); provided, however where the set back line on a particular parcel is less Phan twenty (20) feet from the sidewalk, the sign may be located not more than five (5) feet in front of such set back line (if not concealed by shrubbery, in which case it may be placed directly in front of such shrubbery). *Please consider that signs are pulled up and replaced by owners and gardeners who may not be familiar with the ordinance. s 10 Com Eton - IJy=wooC1 I✓ oa rd of Realtors, Inc. 0 � 1 C. o Real C'aoCa:o L1: ©ode 04 : wo 'Ail America' Cfaiac" 3516 CENTURY BLVD • SUITE 10, • LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA 90262 • PHONE NEWMARK $ -1189 1 1 i Page 2 1972 OFFICERS BRUNO FECKETTER PRESIDENT LOREN H.

It is therefore our suggestion that if a violation is noted by the City, the proper real estate office be contacted. You may even wish to consider the elimination of this particular section as it appears to be a very difficult section to police and /or enforce. 4. That the sentence, "Such advertising sign shall be removed from the property on the date said property enters escrow, or execution of a contract of sale" be deleted and the following sentence substituted. "A 'sold' sign or attached 'sold' rider shall be permitted to remain on a property for a maximum of thirty (30) days." S. That we approve twenty (20) square feet as the maximum for commer- cial, industrial properties, etc., unless a permit with prior approv- al is obtained from the City of Lynwood. *The reason for the exception by permit is simply to give the City some latitude in specific or ex- tenuating circumstances. For example, an industrial building might be set back so far that a twenty (20) square foot sign would be completely ineffective. Another example might be a commercial redevelopment such as the new one bordering State Street and imperial Highway that should perhaps deserve a bill board type sign for the developer. 6. Although you did not specifically cover "Open rouses" we make the following recommendations. One (1) two (2) faced "Open House" sign not exceeding six (6) square feet on each side and /or four (4) flags in yard of subject property only for a maximum of twelve (12) hours in one week. No directional signs and /or -flags to be permitted. *We feel that,.with respect to an "Open �Touse ", a real estate broker should be permitted his identification sign in addition to the "Open '.Ouse" sign so as not to mislead potential prospects. Restricting this usage to twelve (12) hours in one (1) week should eliminate most of the problems. We feel we can live with these recommendations consider them reasonable. I shall be pleased other city officials if you desire any further fully, and we hope you will to meet with you and consultation. Compton for ORDINANCE NO.

POLICE OFFICER EXAMINATION As directed by the City Council, Staff is requesting authorization from the Personnel Board for initiation of an examination for the position of Police Officer. The Board held a special meeting on Friday, May 12, 1972 in order to reorganize as per City Code requirements and the request was approved at that time. It is presently proposed that the examination be schduled during the second week in June to allow a 30 -day filing period . The Certified Eligibility List should be ready for use by the Department on July 1, 1972. HOUSE NUMBERS ON STREET CURBS At the request of Councilman Liewer, Staff has contacted Mr. Richard Chad of the Student Residential Services who is licensed to paint house numbers on street curbs. Mr. Chad has agreed to offer this service to Lynwood citizens beginning in June. The paint to be used for this project will have glass beads for reflectivity. As usual, a $2. 00 donation, maximum, will be requested from the - resident for this service. The project should be completed'by'the of the summer. DIRECTIONAL SIGN TO LYNWOOD FROM ROSECRANS AVENUE As requested by Councilman Stevens, the City has received approval from the County o£ Los Angeles to install a city directional sign on the northerly side of Rosecrans Avenue approximately 100 feet east of Atlantic with the word "Lynwood" and an arrow pointing to the north. Not only has the County agreed to install the sign, but also to pay for it!

Mandatory Police and Fire Pensions Approved AB 452 ( Z'berg ) - see March 24 and April 20 legislative bulletins - which makes mandatory the 2% at age 50 patrol formula for local policemen and firemen of contracting cities on July 1, 1973, has been approved by the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means by a vote of 11 -3 and sent to the Assembly floor. Members of the committee were told by the author of the bill that the cost of the legislation would be between $30 million and $50 million annually, although the bill continues to appropriate the sum of $10 million a year. The committee was informed of the actual costs incurred by those cities which have adopted the patrol formula as well as the costs which will be incurred by 261 cities affected by the bill. The committee approved the bill after being made aware that its passage would clearly result in increases in local property taxes. Your Assemblyman should know that there is no conjecture about the costs of the legislation - -that it will approximately double present costs for police and fire retirement benefits; that a vote in favor of the bill is totally in- consistent with the position that property taxes should be reduced; that passage of the measure renders meaningless provisions of the Meyers- Milias- Brown Act for meeting and conferring in good faith, and that a vote for the measure is inconsistent with the position that employers and employees should meet and confer in good faith. Notwithstanding the fact that the bill is co- authored by 56 Assemblymen, we urge you to confront your Assemblyman with the facts concerning the measure, and urge his opposition on the floor. i 2. Employer - Employee Relations Bills Put Over Two Weeks -- May 24 Three bills described in our May 5 legislative bulletin have been rescheduled for Wednesday, May 24. One of those bills is League- County Supervisors Asso- ciation sponsored AB 1850 Because of the importance of this issue, there follows a detailed outline of AB 1850 To: Mayors, City Managers and City Clerks in Non - Manager Cities (Internal Distribution Please: Councilmen) . AB 1850 was introduced as the vehicle throu,h which the League can pursue a "positive labor relations program" during 1972. This labor relations program, which is similar to the League efforts in 1961 and 1968, is being advanced to insure a healthy and meaningful "meeting and conferring" environment and as an alternative to proposals calling for compulsory and binding arbitration and other measures which would be inimical to the interests of responsible local government in California. AB 1850 which'is authored by Assemblyman Mike Cullen contains the following provisions: 1. Creates California Public Employment Relations Commission of five full -time members with expertise in the field of public employee relations, appointed by Governor with consent of 2/3 of the Senate, four year terms. 2. Excludes management and confidential employees from the definition i of "public employee" under the Act. 3. Defines scope of representation and the rights of a public agency. 4. Defines fact - finding, impasse, and.the Commission. 5'. Provides procedures for resolution of impasses by mediation and fact- finding, invoked by either party, with costs shared one -half each. 6. Provides jurisdictional and procedural requirements for fact - finding in connection with disputes over matters within the scope of representation. Among other things the fact - finder must con- sider the 'financial condition of and cost impact on the public agency. Provides further for public disclosures of fact - finder recommendations as final step if parties are still at impasse. 7. Defines prohibited practices and evidence of bad faith on part of public agency or its representative. 8. Defines prohibited practices for public employee or employee organizations, 9. In considering prohibited practices it recognizes fundamental distinction between private and public employment, and negates any body of federal or state law applicable to private sector from binding or controlling the public sector in this matter. 10. The powers and duties of the Commission are as follows: a. Determines employee representation units in disputed cases. b. On request of either party, arranges and conducts secret ballot elections and certifies employee organizations. c. 1 'Resolves all contested matters over certification or de- certification. d. Establishes panels of qualified public sector mediators and factfinders. -2- 5/11/72 .J e. Holds hearings and inquiries as deemed necessary to carry out provisions of the Act, f. For purposes of hearings_,,may issue subpoenas and delegate such powers to any member of Commission (individual commis- sioner may conduct hearings). , g. Issues directives to Public Agency;and employee organization to cease and desist from violation of this chapter. r h. Makes such rules and regulations covering own operations and exercises such other powers as necessary to perform its duties under the Act. Early response to AB 1850 has been somewhat mixed, but the bill is in its first stage of the legislative process and there will be ample time for dis- cussion and future amendments to mitigate possible difficulties which certain cities may have with the legislation as presently drafted. There are already many proposals in the Legislature this year which are calling for a state body of some type to assist in the resolution of difficulties arising between employers and employee groups. It is our understanding that, if the bills now introduced fail to pass, a special "blue ribbon task force" will be created to prepare a comprehensive report on public sector labor relations activities with recommendations for a comprehensive statute to be introduced during the 1973 Legislative Session. AB 206 ( Burton ), providing for binding arbitration for police and fire salaries and working conditions, will probably be voted on next week by the Assembly. If you have not yet contacted your Assemblyman regarding your opposition to AB 206 a telephone call or wire before Tuesday, May 16, is essential if the bill is to be defeated in the Assembly. 3. Campers and House Trailers SB 437 ( Richardson ) has been amended so that it now applies to both campers and house trailers. As amended, it provides: "Wherever, pursuant to any section of this code (Vehicle Code), the regula- tion of motor vehicles by local authorities is authorized or permitted, any such rule or regulation shall apply with equal force and effect to all prop- erly licensed vehicles. Nothing in this section, however, shall restrict any local regulation, otherwise permitted, of motor vehicles designed, licensed, and being used for commercial purposes." Vehicles include both campers and house trailers. The members of the Senate Committee on Transportation have been deluged with letters from owners of campers and house trailers who be- lieve that they should be able to park on their own private property even though it is in a residential district. It is not their intent to permit living in campers or house trailers in residential districts. If you believe that cities should be able to continue to prohibit the location of house trailers on private property in single- family residential areas, you should contact the members of the Senate Committee on Transportation because the bill probably will be approved when it is again heard on Monday, May 15. The mem- bers of the committee are: Carrell (Chairman), Schrade (Vice Chairman), Holmdahl, Kennick, Marks, Mills, Roberti, Walsh, and Whetmore. 4. Heart and Back Trouble Presumption Sanitation, Street Maintenance and Waste Disposal Employees AB 1844 ( Maddy ) will be heard by the Assembly Finance and Insurance Subcommittee on Workmen's Compensation on Tuesday, May 16. -3- 5/11/72 The bill extends to full -time sanitation, street maintenance and waste dis- posal employees for the purpose of workmen's compensation, the presumption that pneumonia, heart trouble, hernia, and back trouble developing or mani- festing itself during a period of public employment arose out of and in the course of such employment. The League will oppose AB 1844 and we hope that city officials whose legislators are members of the subcommittee will express their views on the measure to their Assemblymen on or before the hearing date. The members of the subcommittee are: Fenton (Chairman), Foran, Hayden, Knox, and Priolo. 5. Joint Powers Financing AB 1817 ( Stull ) will be heard by the Assembly Com- mittee on Local Government on Thursday, May 18. The bill would require that ordinances authorizing joint powers entities to issue revenue bonds be sub- mitted first to the voters rather than merely being subject to referendum. The League has taken the position that the voters are protected by the ref- erendum provisions of the present law added in 1971. Your comments on the proposed legislation should be sent to the members of the Assembly Committee on Local Government on or before May 18. The members of the committee are: Knox (Chairman), MacDonald (Vice Chairman), Beverly, Chappie, Hayden, LaCoste, Lewis, Porter, Ouimby, and Seeley. 6. Brown Act Committees AB 2225 ( Brophy ) will be heard by the Assembly Com- mittee on Governmental Organization on Thursday, May 25. The bill would ex- tend the provisions of the Brown Act, which requires that all meetings of legislative bodies of local agencies be open and public, to committees or subcommittees of such local agencies whether the committees or subcommittees are composed of more or less than a quorum of such legislative bodies. Thus, if two members of a 5 -man city council, planning commission, library board, etc. meet and discuss public business there would be a violation of the Brown Act notwithstanding the inability of the less- than - quorum committee to take any action whatsoever. We believe that enactment of the bill would seriously hamper the conduct of public business and prevent essential studies and in- vestigations by 2- member subcommittees. AB 2225 provides that "subcommittee" means two or more members. The members of the Assembly Committee on Govern- mental Organization are: Ralph (Chairman), Keysor (Vice Chairman), Badham, Campbell, Cline, Cullen, Duffy, Fenton, Leroy Greene, Ray Johnson, Karabian, MacDonald, Priolo, Stacey, and Townsend. 7. General Law Cities Tax Rate Limit For Police and Fire Services Correction An or.ror was made in our .legislnti.ve bulletin of April 14 when we referred to All U which would ru t:huriosu gwkuur.al law o.i,tluri to .Lcvy prop r,n zr,n 3,n addition to the doll:lr limit necessary to pay the costs of po.l.i.ce and fire protection. It is AB 1620 and not AS 1630 as referred to in the April 14 bulletin. AB 1620 has been approved by the Assembly Committee on Local Government and referred to the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation. 8. * Open Space Land Williamson Land Conservation Contracts City Particiation Assembly Bills 1 and 20 of the 1971 Extraordinary Session of the Legislature authorize the Secretary of the Resources Ageacy to direct the Controller to pay specified amounts of money to eligible counties and cities for land under their jurisdiction which is assessed pursuant to § §423 or 423.5, R. &T.C. In an effort to administer this program in the fairest way possible, the Secretary has attempted to involve state and local agencies by establishing an advisory committee on the open space provisions of Chaps. 1 & 2, 1971 1st Extraordinary Session. Although the League is represented on the advisory committee, the Secretary is still interested in receiving additional guidance from all cities with open space lands in the preparation of criteria, rules and regulations for implementing the program. You are urged to contact Ed Gladish, Chairman, Open Space Advisory Committee, Ass't. Director, Department of Conservation, Rm. 1505, 1416 -9th Street, Sacramento, 95814 for additional. information or suggestions.

The League of California Cities joins NLC in urging your strong and immediate support for this bill. H.R. 14370 would pro- vide $3.5 billion a year to be distributed to local governments for a five -year period which also begins on January 1, 1972. This amount is to be divided among the states (for distribution to local governments) under a formula based one - third on population, one -third on "urbanized population" (cities of 50,000 or over and the metropolitan areas surrounding them), and one -third on relative per capita income. The distribution within a state to the county areas (which includes both the county government and the cities within the county) is made under the same type of formula as that described above for at least the first year and a half'. The share of each municipal government within the county is to be determined on the basis of its share of the municipal population in the county and on the basis of its per capita income relative to the per capita income of the other munici- palities in the county. Funds distributed to local governments are to be used for (1) maintenance and operating expenses for public safety '(including police and fire protection, build- ing inspection), environmental protection (including sewage disposal, sanitation, pollurion abatement), and public transportation (including transit systems and streets), and (2) capital expenditures for sewage collection and treatment, refuse disposal systems, and public transportation (including transit systems and street construction). - However, eligible capital expenditures cannot include regular, recurring capital expenditures. . Funds could also be used to give some local property tax relief if desired. The need for financial assistance to cities is well documented and irrefutable. League studies indicate that there is a statewide city revenue gap of approximately $1 billion over a five -year period. Two - thirds of all cities reporting last month forecast a substantial deficiency in revenue for fiscal year 1972 -73 just to con- tinue providing existing services at present levels. Two- thirds of all cities in Z OVER...... ez � • • j the state have indicated that present municipal revenue sources do not grow as fast as expenditures for current services, notwithstanding cuts in essential services. (City police costs alone have risen 73% in four years while revenues increased at about 6% or 7% annually.) The League has worked hard to find a solution. In recent years the Legislature has provided cities with authority to impose a local property transfer tax, has shared cigarette tax revenue with general law cities, and has extended the sales tax to gasoline. But these additional revenues only total $80 million annually on a statewide basis, which does not come close to closing the revenue gap. If you have not already secured your Congressman's commitment to vote favorably, you should do so now together with urgent reasons documenting your city's need for additional funds and specific examples of how you would use the money. Be- cause legislators at all levels of government are usually highly influenced by newspaper editorials from hometown newspapers, we also urge you to contact this source of community influence. In addition, you may find it worthwhile to con- tact other civic-minded - organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce or a down- town merchants association. Be prepared to answer such questions as: How,can you share federal revenues when the overall budget is in deficit? - Why not let state and local government tax themselves? - Won't revenue sharing only encourage waste and irresponsibility? - By separating the taxing powers from the spending action, aren't you removing a vital check on efficiency? - Can we really trust the states and localities with all that money? The complete answers to these and other criticisms of revenue sharing are contained in the red cover handbook which has been recently mailed to cities from the National League of Cities. If you have not received a copy, contact the National League of Cities, 1612 K Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. 20006 -2- 5/11/72 MUNICIPAL FINANCING LETTER No. 38 THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKETS May 5, 1972 How to enlarge the market for municipal bonds without inviting Federal control? This is the Hobson's choice facing local government. If tax - exempts are not to be subject to the vagaries of commercial banks and high- income individuals, alternative investment sources must be tapped. Life insurance companies, pension funds, and middle- income in- vestors represent large pools of investable dollars if tax barriers can be circumvented. An interesting proposal involves the issuance of bonds with two coupons. One coupon would be paid by the State or local government issuer, the other by the Federal government. The issuer would have nothing to do with the second coupon once the bond is sold hence would have no contact with the Treasury or other Federal paying agent aside from the usual book- keeping chores. Studies indicate that bond interest saved by State and local government in the sale of tax - exempts amounts to about two - thirds of income tax revenues lost to the U. S. Treasury. If a suitable arrangement can be worked out, the Federal government will realize tax reve- nues not presently collected, and local governments would have access to a greatly ex- panded and more stable market for their securities. Panelists at a recent banking seminar, while agreeing that commercial banks will con- tinue to purchase tax - exempts in substantial volume, mentioned several inhibiting factors. Foreign tax credits, credits for leasing and real estate activities, and loan loss write -offs against taxes are considerations that could reduce their commitments to municipals. Efforts to help State and local governments broaden their credit base are again getting attention in Congress. Senator Muskie plans to offer a bill which would give States and localities a 50% subsidy on higher interest costs if they switch from tax - exempts to tax- able bonds, while retaining the option to sell tax -free bonds. Senator Proxmire favors a Federal interest subsidy of one - third. Representative Reuss (D -Wis.) and 50 co- sponsors in the House propose a 90% subsidy to State and local governments whenever they opt for taxable bonds The Proxmire proposal has been endorsed by MFOA. Several bills before the State Legislature are of interest to our readers. AB 2005 (Russell) would prohibit cities and counties from entering into lease-purchase agreements or long -term leases with non - profit corporations if the proposal is not to be submitted to the electorate, and if the city or county was instrumental in the formation of the non - profit corporation or if the non - profit corporation is able to issue revenue bonds payable primarily from lease revenues paid by the city or county. AB 1817 (Stull) requires that ordinances authorizing joint powers entities to issue revenue bonds be submitted to the electorate for approval. AB 523 (Schabarum) requires an agency or entity administering a joint powers agreement to file notice with the Secretary of State within 30 days after the effective date of such agreement. AB 556 (Knox) would require that public leaseback agreements between any local agency and a non - profit corporation be adopted by ordinance and subject to refer- endum. Assemblyman Cullen has dropped ACA 55 in its present form and now favors a bill that will abolish only those special districts governed by boards of supervisors and city councilmen.

The circumstances of the transaction are that: On said date the police of the City of Santa Monica confined the claimant in the Santa Monica ,jail upon the basis that there was an outstanding warrant issued for the arrest of claimant by the Municipal Court of the Compton Judicial District of Compton, -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 STANLEY H.

That the false imprisonment by the Santa Monica police was owing to the fact that the Lynwood Police Department had advised the police of the City of Santa Monica that a valid warrant was outstanding for the arrest of claimant. The said allegation by the Lynwood police was based upon erroneous informa- tion that they supplied to the City of Santa Monica Police Department, since the records of the City of Lynwood at said time disclosed that there was no valid warrant issued by the Municipal Court of the Compton Judicial District then outstanding against claimant. That claimant was additionally confined and imprisoned by the Lynwood police until they verified claimant was correct and no valid warrant was outstanding for the arrest of claimant. The names of the public employees causing the said false arrest and subsequent damages are unknown at this time by the claimant. " The amount claimed as a result of the aforesaid unlawful arrest is $5,000.00, as the estimated amount of claimant's injury insofar as it is known at this time.
