Subsequently, the City Council at the meeting of September 19, 1972, set a public hearing for tonight's meeting to hear arguments for and against the adoption of such an ordinance. As preciously indicated the Ordinance was drafted from a League of California Cities model ordinance and through surveys, it was found that most surrounding communities having noise ordinances, followed this same model for initiation of their own controls. The Planning Commission has noted that the basic purpose of the ordinance is to protect the health and welfare of the citizen's of the community. Research has shown that unnecessary or excessive noises are both annoying to the senses and detrimental to health. The Commission noted that the adoption of this ordinance will be an important step in achieving the goal of improved environ- mental quality in the City of Lynwood. In making this recommendation, the Planning Commission has also noted that a problem of enforcement is created by some of the ordinances stipulations. To properly monitor the noise levels outlined in the ordinance, sophisticated sound measuring equipment as well as trained operators would be required. Dependent upon the type of complaint, this ordinance would be enforced and handled by either the Police Department or the Building Department. In order to issue citations under the ordinance, verification of noise levels by the pro- per equipment would be required. At the completion of the public hearing should the Council wish to proceed with adoption of the ordinance, the required action would be a motion to introduce the ordinance for first reading at this meeting with` subsequent second reading of the ordinance at the meeting of November 7, 1972. RECOMMENDATION Council move to introduce the attached Ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD REPEALING PRESENT CHAPTER 26 AND 26 -A AND ADDING CHAPTER 26 TO THE LYNWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING EMISSION.

Councilmen Noes: Councilmen Absent: Councilmen ATTEST: 1972, by the following vote AnA7'OR Or, F THE CITY Ole LYNWOOD CITY CLERK, CITY OF LYNIWOOD 0 0 -16- October 18, 1972 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: LONG BEACH BOULEVARD ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT Gentlemen: In 1970, the California Legislature adopted the California Environmental Quality Act which requires all levels of government in the State to develop standards and procedures necessary to protect environmental quality. A recent Supreme Court judgment (Friends of Mammoth vs. Mono County) now provides that all projects, both public and private, require submittal of a statement of the environmental impact which the project has on the Community as a condition of approval. As you know, the City is presently planning to adopt a resolution which outlines those types of projects which would have a trivial environmental impact on the Community environment and would therefore not need to have such environmental impact statements filed. However, since the Long Beach Boulevard Widening Project involves land acquisition as well as reconstruction, it is of such a magnitude as to require an environmental impact statement. Enclosed for Council consideration this evening is the "Environmental Impact Statement for the Long Beach Boulevard Widening Project" which has been prepared by City Staff and must be adopted by the City Council prior to any further implementation of this project. The statement addresses all seven requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, including: 1. Probable impact on the project on the environment; 2. Probable adverse environmental effect which cannot be avoided; 3. Mitigation measures proposed to minimize the impact; 4. Alternatives to the proposed action; 5. Short -term versus long -term productivity; 6. Irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources; and 7. Objections to the project, if any, and their resolution. 40,1 With Council acceptance of this report, it will become an integral part of the Long Beach Boulevard Project and will meet the requirements as outlined in the Environmental Quality Act of 1970, RECOMMENDATION Council acceptance of the Long Beach Boulevard Environmental Statement. STEPHEN L. WRIGHT Acting City Manager SLW:om Enclosure 0 The California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 requires that State Governmental Agencies at all levels develop standards and procedures necessary to protect environmental quality. As a result of this Act and a recent decision by the State Supreme Court the following statement has been prepared and is in conformance with this law. October 18, 1972 The Long Beach Boulevard Project, since it involves land acquisition as well as reconstruction, is of a magnitude to require an environmental impact statement. The proposed project will include the acquisition of property along the boulevard providing to an ultimate width of 110 feet, reconstruction of the entire right -of -way from Tweedy Boulevard at the northerly City boundary to Orchard Avenue at the southerly boundary, and the installation of new safety devices and esthetic features. The State Resources Agency has developed and published the "Proposed Guidelines for the Preparation and Evaluation of Environmental Impact Statements Under the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970. " The guideline specify that seven (7) impact considerations be addressed in an environmental impact statement as follows: I. Probab Impact of the Project on the Environm CITY OF LYNWOOD ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT LONG BEACH BOULEVARD PROJECT The initial impact of the project will be during the construction phase. Dust and noise will certainly present an impact on the environment as well as to the citizens. Additionally, the project will have an impact inasmuch as a major mass trans- portation project is proposed to transverse the boulevard and will create increased traffic loads traveling to commercial, industrial, as well as local residential areas, Higher noise levels also resulting from the increased traffic loads will add to the impact on the environment. Visual impact must be considered in that new signs and outdoor advertising will be created to attract additional potential consumers. II. Probable Adverse Environmental Effects Which Cannot be Avoided. It is understandable all adverse environmental effects cannot be avoided, but every percaution will be made to control hazardous, obnoxious or offensive elements during and after the completion of the project. The City has no intention of controlling the amount of vehicles in the City other than through existing land use and zoning controls. During con- struction, noise levels will obviously be higher than normal, but every attempt will be made by the Public Works Department to control the operating of the contractor with regard to the creation of noise, dust and other actions as necessary, III. Mitigation Measures Proposed to Minimize the Impact By means of limiting construction hours, noise will be mini- mized to affect the least amount of citizens as possible, Such things as faulty muffler systems or disregard of established noise levels will not be tolerated. General construction 0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT LONG BEACH BOULEVARD PROJECT October 18, 1972 Page 2 specifications will be prepared to control dust, emission of smoke and generally control the actions of the contractor during construc- tion, In respect to new signs and outdoor advertising, stricter controls and enforcement of existing sign ordinances will need to be initiated. The impact on the environment will also be minimized by the landscaping of the boulevard with trees and shrubs along the right -of -way and median strips. Furthermore, decorative under- ground highway safety lighting will replace the conglomoration of styles of poles which presently exist. The removal of wooden poles with overhead wiring will also be an asset to the boulevard. Assuredly, the mitigation measures proposed to minimize the impact on the Long Beach Boulevard Project during and after construction will be strictly implemented. IV. Alternatives to the Proposed Action The alternatives to this proposed project are nill since the in- creased traffic load of the I -105 Century Freeway will create an overwhelming burden to -the existing Long Beach Boulevard. A four -way interchange is proposed to be constructed at the inter- section of Long Beach Boulevard and the I -105 Freeway to be utilized by commuters from the cities of Compton and South Gate as well as the City of Lynwood. Should the freeway construction be ultimately abandoned the improvement of Long Beach Boulevard would remain a necessity as a result of natural increased traffic ,counts and the excessive roadway crown which currently exists. Inasmuch as increased traffic flows on other north -south major arterials in the City would not contribute as greatly to the service of the community, Long Beach Boulevard is the logical arterial for major improvement. V. Short -Term Versus Long -Term Productivity. The Long Beach Boulevard Improvement Project is being under- taken to improve the traffic and flow patterns as well as to promote the economic growth of businesses on and 'along the boulevard. Revival of the downtown shopping area is also of paramount importance. It is anticipated that the City of Lynwood, upon completion of this project, will be provided with an image to hold its economic, esthetic, cultural and social values, VL Irreversible and Ir etrievable Commitments of Resources. The new commitments on the Long Beach Boulevard Project will not involve the cutting or contouring, removal or deletion of any improvements that have an adverse effect on the environment. All of the land to be acquired has already been committed to development and any structure affected by the widening will either be rehabilitated or demolished and reconstructed. The only irretrievable commitments to be fulfilled by the project will be the use of air space with the reconstruction of larger new structures. It is the objective of the City that the improve- ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT LONG BEACH BOULEVARD PROJECT October 18, 1972 Page 3 ments of this project will excell environmentally beyond any adverse effects during and after construction, VII. Objections to the Project, if any, and their Resolution. Objections to the project could be anticipated in the area of air polution, but it is believed that with the increased traffic flow on the boulevard and the ability of vehicles to move at a rapid rate, air polution will decrease due to the absence of constant stop and go traffic. Other attributes of the entire project will include landscaping on both sides of the street as well as in the median area, new street lighting throughout the project and the removal of unsightly overhead power lines and poles, In substance, this project is anticipated to beautify the City and improve the environment in a positive and. orderly manner and does not adversely challenge the environmental quality of the City of Lynwood. October 18, 1972 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: LONG BEACH BOULEVARD WIDENING -- ACQUISITION OF RIGHT -OF -WAY Gentlemen; Phase I of the Long Beach Boulevard Project between Imperial and Sanborn provides for a 110 foot right -of -way, a 92 foot curb -to -curb roadway and 14 foot median. In order to provide for this right -of -way, the City must first acquire the necessary property and as adopted in the alignment reports, 20 feet of this additional right -of -way will be obtained from the west side of the street. Since structures are involved, it has been determined that acquisition of the entire parcel including the structure will be more economical than acquisition of only that portion of land needed for the right -of -way plus the payment of severance damages for the existing buildings. In April of 1972, the City Council authorized the City to contract with Los Angeles County for appraisal services and subsequent negotiations with property owners for the acquisition of this property. The appraisal for the entire west side of the Boulevard in Phase I has now been completed and attached for Council consideration this evening are four resolutions and deeds which provide for the City's acquisition of Parcel Nos. 4 -2, 4, 5, and 6 as outlined on the attached map. Negotiations are still underway for Parcel Nos. 3 and 7 and the City is still working to acquire the necessary right -of -way only on Parcel No. 1 since acquisition of the entire parcel will not be necessary, The first resolution provides for acquisition of Parcel Nos. .4-2 and 4 -6 since both parcels are under single ownership. These parcels were appraised at a total value of $182, 500 and the final negotiated purchase price is $190, 000. The reason for this increase is that the property owner had received a prior bid on the parcel of $196, 000 from a developer. However, he subsequently agreed to the negotiated purchase price with the City in order to make the sale immediately. The second resolution provides for the purchase of Parcel No. 4 -4 in the amount of $95, 000. This was the actual appraised value of the parcel in- cluding improvements. The third resolution provides for the purchase of Parcel No. 4 -5 in the amount of $50, 000 which - is -also. -the._ actual appraised value including im- provements. The fourth resolution provides for the City's acquisition of an outdoor advertising structure belonging to Foster and Kleiser in the amount of $2, 600 as well as providing for the quitclaim of a lease agreement by Foster and Kleiser on Parcel No. 4 -4. This purchase also provides for the removal of the advertising structure within 90 days of acquisition by the City. The total acquisition cost of these four properties is $337, 600 for a total of 35, 000 square feet of property and 25, 617 square feet of building improvements. V The resolution accompanying each deed provides for both authorization to 0 LONG BEACH BOULEVARD WIDENING -- ACQUISITION October 18, 1972 Page 2 purchase and authorization to make payment to the property owner. Therefore, each resolution should be acted upon independently. RECOMMENDATION Council adoption of the attached resolutions providing for the acquisition of property in Phase I of the Long Beach Boulevard Improvement Program. STEPHEN L.

Under the City's underground ordinance #848, the Administrative Committee consists of the Mayor, City Manager, Director of Public Works, Building Official, and the affected utilities, namely Southern California Edison Co. and Pacific Telephone Co. As a result of this recent meeting, the Administrative Committee is in agreement in regards to the boundaries of this proposed utility underground district. The District encompasses the full road easement on Long Beach Boulevard from the south property line of Sanborn Avenue to the north property line of Imperial Highway. In addition, the District boundaries will extend along the west property line of the alley west of Long Beach Boulevard between Sanborn Avenue and Beechwood Avenue and along the back lot lines of the properties fronting Long Beach Boulevard from Beechwood Avenue to Imperial Highway. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company will underground their existing overhead lines within this District and coordinate all necessary work to be placed on Long Beach Boulevard at the time the widening project begins. No cost will be involved to any affected property owners within this District for substructure w rk involved with the Telephone Co. The Edison Co, anticipates undergroun in the existing pole line along the alley west of Long Beach Boulevard fro Sanborn Avenue to Beechwood Avenue. In addition, other pole lines along Beechwood Avenue and Peach Street will be removed as part of the underground project. However, these need not be included within the District's boundaries. The total project cost to the Edison Company including the installation of manhole structures, tile ducts, removal of 26 poles and the setting of 3 poles will be approximately $148, 000. Under a Public Utilities Commission ruling, Rule 8209, funds accrue each year by the Edison Company for the purpose of undergrounding pole lines. The amount available from Edison Company 0 9 to the City through fiscal year 1973 is approximately $207,000. Since this construction is less than the amount available, a surplus will remain for continuing with further undergrounding projects in conjunction with widening of the boulevard. Under a mutual agreement, the affected Utilities and the City will coordinate all activities relating to this undergrounding project and anticipate its completion by July 1, 1973. This project presupposes the City will proceed with the property acquisition on the west side of Long Beach Boulevard from Imperial Highway to Sanborn Avenue to completion. Furthermore, no costs will be borne by the remaining affected property owners within this District. In compliance with Section 2 (c) of Ordinance #848, the Committee presents this report to the City Council for the purpose of calling a public hearing for the establishment of Utility Undergrounding District #2. RECOMMENDATION Council approve Underground District for a public hearing on November 8, necessity exists for the formation of previously described.

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT OF 1970 -- RESOLUTION DECLARING DEVELOPMENTS HAVING INSIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Gentlemen: The Environmental Quality Act of 1970 and the subsequent Supreme Court ruling (Friends of Mammoth vs. Mono County) requires that all projects initiated in the State of California must have environmental impact statements submitted as a condition of obtaining approval for proceeding with development, The Act also provides that the local governing body has the right to determine which projects are of such a minor nature as to have a. trivial impact on the environment. Attached for Council consideration is a resolution which com- plies with this recent legislation and outlines categories and developments which cannot have a significant impact on the environment. The resolution outlines those types of developments in residential, commercial, and manufacturing zones which comply with this requirement and as additional legal analysis of this act is forthcoming, additions and amendments to this resolution will be provided for Council consideration. Since the Court action, the City has withheld issuance of all permits in the Building Department until such a statement has been made by the City Council. Adoption of the attached resolution will allow the Building Department to pro- ceed with issuance of permits for those types of development as outlined in the resolution, RECOMMENDATION Council adoption of the attached resolution entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD RELATED TO THE ISSUANCE OF PERMITS ", STEP.

With the City's water system planned to be completely metered within the next three to four years plus the fact that the present method of billing is performed under a manual operation, clearly a need to explore a more efficient operation was evident. As a result, Staff investigated several water billing services such as IBM, Data Processing, Municipal Data System (MDS) and Xerox Computer Services. Based on their record of operation, capability, and experience, Staff further investigated these accounting systems for municipality utility billing needs. Xerox Computer Services provides a system of operation that can be implemented in the City's Water Billing Office in a manner which will realize saving for the years to come. The anticipated services of this company would provide for a terminal located in the City offices which would be used for entering all meter readings and accounts receivable. A master control physically situated at the headquarters of Xerox in Culver City would receive this input data, store it and periodically perform the billing and deliver the bills to the City for mailing. Furthermore, these services would provide a continuous cash and accounts receivable status, integrated financial statements as well as monitor all transactions as they are entered. The costs involved for these services by the Xerox Company based on approximately 10, 000 existing accounts is an estimated monthly cost of $930.00. This cost includes a discount for approximately 5,000 flat rate accounts and the necessary terminal and communications hook -ups between the City and Xerox Computer Services Headquarters. In addition to this monthly cost, a one -time installation charge of approximately $2,400 will be involved for programming the accounts into the system. Attached for Council's information is letter from Xerox Computer Services outlining in further detail the services which they would provide to the City of Lynwood. The Water Billing Office is presently operating with three personnel which include the Chief Water Clerk and two Clerk Typists. The meter installation project is creating an increasing work load on this office in that computation of water consumption, billing and accounts receivable is Z,S handled on a manual basis. This situation, therefore, will necessitate the need for an additional Clerk Typist to be transferred to this office. Furthermore, with a system such as Xerox Computer Services, it is possible for this office to handle all utility billing with two persons. It is evident, therefore, a net savings of two positions can be realized by means of implementing such services for the City. Based on this method of operation, the City would ultimately realize a net savings of over $9,000 per year. The capabilities of Xerox Computer Services have been demonstrated to the City Staff and in addition to the utility billing, many other functions now being performed by the Treasure's Office and Police Department might be considered at a future date. Attached for Council consideration is the Interactive Accounting System Agreement from Xerox Computer Services. RECOMMENDATION Council approve enclosed agreement between City and Xerox Computer Services and authorize th °n *,\h r' Mana ger t e + such document. Ok- STEPHEN L.

At this time, 17 cities and water districts are using our system successfully. We are con- fident that we can bring the same good service which has made those installations successful to your city. Some of the advantages offered by our Utility Billing System include: o More efficient use of personnel- -you determine your billing cycle schedule. o Operational Labor Savings - -we estimate that one terminal operator can handle 21,000 bi-- monthly accounts with our system. o Closer control over Accounts R eceivabl e -- reports are prepared and delivered one day after requesting them; inquiries can be made at any time the system is available. a. Our A/R ledgers can be divided between current, late, and delinquent accounts, so that with each billing cycle processed, you have a separate report for each category. b. Faster adjustment and closing bill preparation should result in an increased collection rate on those accounts. a XBRO ( Mr. Carlos H.

Our contract will not allow us to -wise our charges, or request any additional funding from you for at least one year. o Other applications are available for future use--• - police information system, fund accounting, payroll, job costing, inventory control, fixed assets/ depreciation, and others. These advantages can be seen in each of our accounts at this time, and are the reasons for our successful growth ' over the last two years. This growth in number a of accounts, in distributing and manufacturing companies as well as municipalities, is the basis for oar continued ability to offer excellent systems and excellent service at low rates. Growth in other cities results in develop- ment costs being amortized over many accounts across the country. We opened a second office in San Francisco last year and plan to open offices in San Diego and Chicago this year. The net effect for the City of Lynwood is continuing excellent systems, continuing excellent service, at con- tinuing low rates. Our charges include a variable installation charge for entering your existing data into our system, and variable and fixed monthly charges. Our installation charge is $.18 per account. Thus, based on 10,000 accounts, our installation charge would be $1,800. a XEROX Mr. Carlos April 25, Page Three H. Alvarado 1972 0 As you know, we have two Utility Billing systems avail- able; the "water" system and the "power" system. The "power "•system offers additional optional capabilities to the City, such as fund allocation, dunning, letters, monthly accounts receivable summary, credit listing, and others. If you select our "power" system, rather than the "water" system, there will be an additional one - -time installation charge of $600 to modify the system to fit your needs. Monthly, our charges are based on the average number of accounts your city has on either system. For 10,000 accounts, our charge would be $915.00 plus $.084 per additional account. This rate is based on metered accounts. For flat rate accounts, we will allow a $.03 discount for each account. Terminal and communications charges are also billed. Summarizing our monthly charges: Processing (based on 10,000 accounts) $915 Less discount for 5,200 flat -rate accounts -156 Monthly processing charge $759 Terminal and Communications 171. Estimated Total Monthly Charge $930 Thus, our system should result in: • more efficient use of personnel • fewer personnel involved in your operation o close Accounts Receivable control • knowledge of our charges before you sign our agreement • additional capabilities within Utility Billing and in other areas for future use by the City. f•.FROX 0 • Mr. Carlos H.

These improvements include a modern underground street lighting system along Imperial Highway from State to Peach Streets and the installation of a traffic signal in the vicinity of the entrance to the shopping center at the Fire Station. The Montgomery Ward Project is continuing toward completion and their latest schedule for opening is for April of 1973. In order for the City to meet the scheduled opening of the Montgomery Ward store, it is necessary that construction of these facilities begin in early 1973. The City currently does not have the capability for the design and preparation of plans and specifications for this traffic signal and lighting system installation. As a result, proposals have been obtained from the firm of Crommelin and Associates for the preparation of these plans. Council will recall this firm being responsible for the City of Lynwood's Area Wide TOPICS Study. This firm has capable traffic and lighting engineers which have proven their ability with the City. For Council's consideration are two proposals outlining the scope of the work and the fees for these projects.

As you recall, final House and Senate Conferees adopted a formula which provided the City of Lynwood with Less than 50% of the funds originally allocated by the House formula. Since this option is open to the State of California, the Council may wish to request the State to amend its existing formula for the remaining four years of the 1972 Revenue Sharing Act. The original House formula gave weight to population and relative per capita income. The amended formula of the House and Senate Conferees minimized the population factor and gave more weight to the per capita income factor and a general tax effort factor. A higher Local tax rate receives a greater increase in revenue sharing funds. This policy, in effect, benefits those cities with a high local tax rate and penalizes those cities with a Low tax rate who have been working to maintain good operations and efficient adminis- trations without increasing the property tax burden on the homeowner.

" STEPHEN L. WRIGHT Acting City Manager City of Lynwood SLW:jm Attachments (3) RESOLUTION NO. 0 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD REQUESTING THAT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA BYLAW PROVIDE FOR THE ALLOCATION OF REVENUE SHARING FUNDS AMONG UNITS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ON AN OPTIONAL FORMULA BASIS AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THE STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1972 WHEREAS, the original House formula and the amended formula agreed to by the House and Senate Conferees for the Revenue Sharing program results in approximately the allocations to the various cities of Los Angeles County as shown on the attached. WHEREAS, the original House formula gave weight topopulation and reactive per capita income and resulted in per capita allocations to Los Angeles County cities ranging from a low of $7. 65 (Beverly Hills) to a high of $13. 90 (Compton), with an average County -wide allocation of approximately $10.50, and WHEREAS, this was a reasonable and fair method of allocating Revenue Sharing Funds, giving due weight to the "ability to pay" or "relative need" concept, and WHEREAS, the amended allocation method agreed to by the House and Senate Conferees minimizes the population factor and gives undue weight to general tax effort and relative per capita income factors, thereby resulting in per capita allocations to Los Angeles County cities ranging from a Low of $2. 74 (Cerritos) to a high of $260 94 (Commerce), with an average per capita County -wide aLLocation of approximately $10.00, and furthermore, WHEREAS, in the determination of a municipality's general tax effort, the actual taxes paid by its citizens were ignored in favor of the actual taxes levied by the community, since apparently excluded in the general tax effort factor are all special district taxes paid, and WHEREAS, serious inequities result from these deficiencies in the amended formula, and are readily apparent and reflected by the fact that a City with a population of only 15,350 receives a higher allocation, $397,293, than a city with a population of 43, 354, $229, 823, and also by the fact that the highest per capita allocation, $26, 94, is made to a city which is generally recognized in the area as being the community which can best afford services to its citizens without the benefit of Revenue Sharing assistance. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Lynwood does resolve as follows: That the State of California avail itself of the special allocation rules of the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 and provide by law for an optional formula for distribution of future Revenue Sharing Funds among units of local government on a basis which gives more weight to poisulatfon and relative per capita income, and less weight to the general tax effort factor, thereby minimizing the effects of the deficiencies in the.alLocation method finally adopted. ..r RESOLUTION NO.

SHEPHERD City Clerk City of Lynwood jm Attachment I 'A October 18, 1972 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: PROPOSED PLANNING AND ZONING FILING FEES Gentlemen: Over the past few months, the Planning Commission has been reviewing the existing fee structure established for various services provided by the City in the area of planning and zoning. This study was undertaken for two basic reasons: first to bring Lynwood fees in line with surrounding Southern California communities and, second, for the purpose of offsetting costs of handling each of the individual proceedings in the recently created Planning Department, Presently the City of Lynwood has only two fees. The application and filing fee for a variance is $75. 00 and the fee for a zone change is $150. 00. Included among the no fee services provided are conditional use permit, site plan review, unclassified determination, administrative variance, Lot split/ subdivisions and easement /street vacations. The purpose of the filing fee is to defray expenses of staff time, publishing, posting, and other costs incidental to the proceedings. Attached is the survey of several Southern California cities which reflect the need for initiation and revision of the City's fees. It is the opinion of the Commission that with approval and adoption of these fees, revenue will be increased from $1350 in the fiscal year 1971 -72 to approximately $4500 annually. A large portion of the new income will be a result of increased activity in conditional use permits and lot splits in the City. The final recommendation resulting from the compilation of the survey and review of the data is to increase or initiate the Zoning and Planning fees as follows: Existing Fee Zone Change Variance Conditional Use Permit Lot Split (Parcel Map) and Tentative Tract Map Zoning Determination Site Plan Review Easement /Street Vacation Appeal to City Council $150 75 -0- Proposed Fee $175 125 125 -0- $25 filing + $25 for each lot created ($150 max.) -0- 100 -0- 150 -0- 100 -0'` 1/2 of filing fee After final review of the meeting of October 10, 1972, the Planning Commission recommended Council approval of the new and increased filing fees for Planning and Zoning matters.

October 18, 1972 INFORMATION BULLETIN NO. 72 -19 REVENUE SHARING - BUDGET MODIFICATIONS A revised Fund Summary (Attached) has been prepared to show the effect of the final Revenue Sharing Allocation on both the General Fund and the Capital Outlay Fund. As can be seen, all Revenue Sharing Funds, in- cluding the six -month retroactivity portion have been placed into the General Fund. Based on this added_ income and the total expenditure of all items outlined in the Operating Budget, a budget deficit of $10, 000 would be realized at the end of the Fiscal Year. Administrative modifications in spending throughout the remainder of this Fiscal Year will be able to offset this deficit without additional Council action. As can be seen, no Revenue Sharing Funds were directed to the Capital Outlay Fund and therefore, major expenditures such as the Police Facility will reduce the estimated Fund Balance at the end of this fiscal year. SIREN CONTROL Due to a number of complaints received regarding increased siren usage in and around St. Francis Hospital, the office contacted Shaefer's, Adams and Associated Ambulances services regarding this problem. On October 11, a meeting was held with representatives of Shaefer's Ambulance Service regarding their activities and they have indicated that a new policy statement has been issued to their employees regarding the use of sirens in the City. Sirens will now be shut off within two to three blocks of the hospital, since in most instances they are not required in that general area. In addition, Shaefer's will be providing the City with a list of their actual responses over the past months as well as a review of all of their written policies regarding siren usage. Shaefer's representatives indicated that only the ambulance attendants or the police officer at the scene determine the need for a Code 3 response to the hospital. The patient is not asked whether he would like the use of the siren and there is no additional charge to the patient for using Code 3 response. Similar meetings will be held with representatives of Adams Ambulance Service and Associated in order to review all policies involved and , in addition, the City is obtaining copies of the State and County requirements placed on all ambulance responses. After review of these items, the City may wish to adopt specific controls on ambulance usage which, would pertain to all services within the community. DOG LICENSE INCREASE REQUEST Attached is a letter from Southern California Humane Society requesting Council consideration of raising the current dog license fee from $3 to $5. The current contract between the City of Lynwood and the Humane Society expires on December 31, 1972 and therefore, they are making this request for consideration so that it can be included in the proposed new contract. �y INFORMATION BULLETIN NO. 72 -19 October 18, 1972 Page Two ANDERSON FAMILY PICNIC The Anderson Family Picnic held Sunday, October 5, proved very successful for the Congressman. It has been estimated that approximately 600 citizens were in attendance at this event and attached is a copy of the letter from Congressman Anderson to Parks and Recreation Director, Don Snavely, thanking the City for excellent cooperation. ARSON ARREST On Tuesday, October 10, 1972, Assistant Fire Chief, Keith Johnson, with the aid of Sgt. Sauls and Officer Romash investigated a fire at an apart- ment at 4318 1/2 Imperial and through later investigation successfully apprehended a suspect who was later booked for the crime of arson, As you know, successful apprehensions for this particular crime are very infrequent and Assistant Chief Johnson, Sgt, Sauls and Officer Romash are to be congratulated.

Dear Mr. Wright: BOARD OF DIRECTORS Don W. McClellan George M. Crosw President Decuhvn Y¢ulY CSid enL secreta,y B. Dean Clanton Mmlhorne M To m pV.ms Nca President Treasurer James R. Cantt Robert A Cageby Rodney M Hmlter Harold C Webb Our contract with the City of Lynwood will expire on December 31, 1972, 1 am writing to you at this time to request that you ask the City Council. to consider rais- ing the current dog license fee from $3.00 to $5.00. We are seeking this increase in the contract due to the fact that we have not had any addition to it for twenty years, and I am sure you will readily realize that costs have materially increased since that time. We suggest that the allowances remain the same. I I think it is;perti.nent to mention that many cities in your area are'charging at least $5.00 per dog license, and in some instances as much as $7.00 per license. In other words, the City of Lynwood will not be out of line with such an increase in the dog license fee. I would appreciate your presenting this to the City Council, and it is my hope that they will see fit to afford us this increase in order that we may maintain the proper level of service for the city.

League of Cities Representing 14,583 Municipalities in 50 States To: Municipal Officials Allen E. Pritchard, Jr Executive Vice President August 28, 1972 On behalf of the National League of Cities, I extend this cordial invitation to you to attend the 49th Annual Congress of Cities, November 26 -30, 1972, in Indianapolis. The tentative program outline is enclosed. This year's Congress is devoted to the theme, "Your City's Role in The Urban System." In addition to general. sessions, the Congress will feature numerous workshops which will pro- vide many opportunities for delegate participation in discussions of various aspects of city program and pol- icy development. One of the most important functions of the Congress of Cities is the development of the National. Municipal Pol- icy. As local government continues to come under more stress,, and the problems of cities become more acute, it is extremely important that NLC present a strong, unified voice of the cities. I am urging you to attend the Con- gress of Cities and take part, not only in the sessions and workshops, but also in the committee meetings and policy development discussions. Mayor Richard Lugar and the City of Indianapolis are going all out to provide an outstanding schedule of leisure -time activities, including tours, receptions, and other activities for the delegates, spouses, and guests. I encourage you to make reservations early. Hotel res- ervation cards are enclosed and should be mailed to the NLC Housing Bureau in Indianapolis. Advance registration of delegates and spouses will insure that tickets will be available for all events and will make it possible for NLC to have badges, registration kits, etc.,' ready in advance, thus saving you time and inconven- ience at the registration desk. The enclosed registration form, together with your check, should be returned to NLC, Washington, D.C. I ook forward to seeing you in Indianapolis.

League of Caflf ��rm Cities Afen+bcr National League of Cities "11 eslern City" Official Publication Sacramento, Ca. 95814 October 11, 1972 t �yY To:. Mayors, City Managers and City Clerks in Non - Manager Cities Subject: Ballot Propositions Dear City Official: 1108 "O" STREET SACRAMENTO 95814 (916) 444-5790 HOTEL CLAREMONT BERKELEY 94705 (415) 843 -3083 702 HILTON CENTER LOS ANCELES 90017 (2131624 -4934 Although the League Board of Directors considered all twenty -two ballot proposi- tions on September 26 and issued a news release on the following day, we find that many city officials are not aware of the League's position on these ballot proposi- tions. Several. of the measures considered at the special meeting of the Board on September 26 were highly controversial, including Proposition 20 (Coastline Initiative) which was approved by a narrow margin after lengthy debate. On the same day that the Board considered ballot propositions, the legislative Counsel issued an opinion clearly declaring the areas excluded from coastal and permit zones of the proposed Coastii.ne 'Initiative. We have included a copy of this opinion for your information. The League has consistently supported legislation designed to protect California's shoreline. It has taken the position that a State Shoreline Commission on which there is adequate local representation should be required to prepare criteria and guidelines for counties and cities to follow in the preparation of coastal pro- tection plans. The League also has supported majority representation on regional commissions selected to prepare regional shoreline plans and review applications for development during the planning period. While members of the Board would have preferred a majority of local government representatives rather than an equal number on regional commissions and a more precise and limited permit area, they felt that the League should support Proposi- tion 20 because counties and cities having a desire to fully cooperate in the preparation of coastal plans will have every opportunity under the initiative to assist in the preparation of local and regional plans. These plans form the basis of the State Plan. They were also reassured by those provisions of the initiative that permit legislative amendment to achieve the objectives of the initiative and believe that ambiguities, if any, will. be clarified by such legislation if the proposal is approved on November 7. Finally, the members of the Board recognized that the coastline plan must be approved and implemented by the Legislature at the 1976 Session, after which the initiative itself and its permit provisions cease to be effective. The Board reaffirmed its opposition to the deceptive provisions of Proposition 14, the Taxation Initiative. Billed as property tax relief for tYe single- family homeowner who pays less than 25% of all property taxes, the measure actually is a t F�•�`Y windfall. for owners of business property who pay 75% of the property taxes. it ,does nothing for renters and fails to consider any true property tax reform. In addition, the members of the Board agreed with Governor Reagan who said that the Watson Initiative "will further confuse an already chaotic hodgepodge and imbed that chaos into the Constitution, killing all hope of creating a system based on fiscal and governmental responsibility. .Although recognizing the similarity between the social evils growing out of Prohibition during the Twenties and the criminality attached to mere possession of marijuana, the Board opposes Proposition 19, the Marijuana Initiative; because the most recent medical evidence indicates that it has harmful effects and more study is necessary before taking any action that might be construed as encouraging its use. The Board was divided on Proposition 18, the Obscenity Initiative, even though all of the members feel completely frustrated by the inability of state and local legislative bodies to free our communities from pornographic movies, pamphlets and other lewd matter. After considering federal and state court decisions, it appeared to a majority of the members of the Board that most of the provisions of the initiative statute were unconstitutional and that after a court passes on„its pro- visions those remaining portions that might be held valid would be relatively minor. By a split vote, the Board took "no position" on Proposition 18, A number of the Ballot Propositions do not affect municipal government and "no position" was taken on Proposition 2 (llealth Science Facilities Bond Act); Proposi- tion 11 (Privacy); Proposition 15 (State Employee Salaries); Proposition 17 (Death Penalty); Proposition 21 (Student School Assignment): and Proposition 22 (Agri- cultural Labor Relations). Although the League generally opposes property tax exemptions where there is no state reimbursement of lost revenue, the Board voted to take no action on Proposi- tions 10 and 12, broadening the property tax exemption for blind and disabled ,veterans. The Board supports Proposition 1, providing state bonds for Junior College facilities which will relieve the burden now carried by property tax- payers. In addition to supporting the Coastline Initiative, the Board also supports two other environmental propositions -- Proposition 3, providing for the issuance of revenue bonds for pollution control facilities, and Proposition 8, exempting from ad valorem taxation air, water and noise pollution control facilities re- quired by governmental agencies. The latter provision includes reimbursement to local governments for revenue lost as a result of such exemption. The Board sup- ports Proposition 9, authorizing a majority vote for general obligation bonds re- quired to repair, reconstruct or replace unsafe school buildings, and Proposition 5, granting home rule to school districts. Schools will no longer be able to contend that they have no authority to provide crossing guards. Both Propositions 6 and 7, initiated by the Constitution Revision Commission and primarily restating in more concise and modern language the present provisions of the Constitution and court decisions interpreting the Constitution, drew Board support, The Board voted to oppose Proposition 16, which ties C11P salaries to the highest salary paid any policeman by any city, because the functions of policemen are substantially different than those of,highway patrolmen and a city might hesitate to give its police force a well deserved increase in compensation if it was going to increase the salaries of more than 6,000 highwav patrolmen. The Board took no action on Proposition 13, which would relieve the State General Fund of some of the cost of extra Workmen's Compensation benefits for subsequent injuries beyond the liability of the employer. - 2 - 10/11/72 The League has supported legislative reorganization and attempts to streamline bhe legislative process to conform more nearly to the procedure followed by Con- gress. Proposition 4, which would provide for such reorganization and enable the Legislature to improve the legislative process, was supported by the Board when it was considered by the Legislature and is recommended for approval by the voters on November 7. Proposition 20, Coastline Initiative, will again be considered at the Annual Con- ference of the League in Anaheim October 16 -18. Resolutions supporting and opposing the initiative have been submitted by interested cities in accordance with the resolutions procedure of the League.

MURPHY Sacramento, California September 26, 1972 Honorable Alan Sieroty Suite 3 1144 South Robertson Boulevard Los Angeles, California 90035 Coastal Zone Conservation Act Initiative - 1117589 Dear Mr. Sieroty: QUESTION C 0 P Y m You have asked whether the "permit area," as defined in Section 27104, as pro- posed to be added to the Public Resources Codel by the Coastal Zone Conservation Act Initiative (Proposition 20 on the November 1972 General Election ballot) would include any area east of the coastal mountain range, such as any area of the Sacramento Delta. You have advised us that the Sacramento Delta is located east of the coastal mountain range. OPINION It is our opinion that the "permit area," as defined in Section 271.04, as pro- posed to be added by the initiative, would not include any area, including any area of the Sacramento Delta, which is located east of the coastal mountain range. ANALYSIS The initiative would, among other things, add Division 18 (commencing with Section 27000) to the Public Resources Code. Very generally, such provisions, which would enact the California Coastal Zone Conservation Act of 1972, would create the California Coastal Zone Conservation Commission and six regional commissions of such commission to regulate, with prescribed exceptions, develop= ment in a designated area, referred to as the permit area, of the coastal zone, and would require the state,commission to adopt and submit the California Coastal Zone Conservation Plan to the Legislature for its review, adoption, and 1 All section references, unless otherwise indicated, are to sections of the Public Resources Code, as proposed to be added by the Coastal Zone Conservation Act Initi- ative. 2 Hereinafter referred to as the "initiative." implementation. Section 27104, a part of this Division 18, would provide, in pertinent part, as follows: "27104. 'Permit'area' means that portion of the coastal zone lying between the seaward limit of the jurisdiction of the state and 1,000 yards landward from the mean high tide line of the sea subject to the following provisions: * * * " (Emphasis added.) As can be seen from the quoted language of Section 27104, the "permit area" would include, with prescribed exceptions, that portion of the coastal zone lying between the seaward limit of-the jurisdiction of the state and 1,000 yards landward from the mean high tide line of the sea. Section 27106 would define "sea" to mean "... the Pacific Ocean and all the harbors, bays, channels, estuaries, salt marshes, sloughs, and other areas subject to tidal action through a connection with the Pacific ocean, excluding non- estuarine rivers and creeks." Section 27100, also a part of this Division 18, would provide as follows: "27100. 'Coastal zone' means that land and water area of the State of California from the border of the State of Oregon to the border of the Republic of Mexico, extending seaward to the outer limit of the state jurisdicti including all islands within the jurisdiction of the state, and extending inland to the highest elevation of the nearest coastal moun ra e , except that in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties, the inland boundary of the coastal zone shall be the highest elevation of the nearest coastal mountain range or five miles from the mean high tide line, whichever is the shorter distance." Thus, generally, the "coastal zone" would extand seaward io the outer limit of state jurisdiction, including all islands within the jurisdiction of the state, and inland; generally, to the highest elevation of the nearest coastal mountain range. Since the "permit area" would be a portion of the coastal zone, it could not extend beyond the boundaries of the "coastal zone," and,thr landward boundary would be generally defined to be the highest elevation of the nearest coastal mountain range. Section 27104 would also contain the following provision: 1 ' * k * " (b) If any portion of any body of water which is not subject to tidal action lies within the permit area, the body of water together with a strip of land 1,000 -feet wide sux;.oanding it shall be in- cluded. * * * 11 - 2 - However, when this provision is read in connection with the remainder of Section 27104 and with Section 27100, it becomes evident that its only effect would be to extend the permit area within the coastal zone under appropriate circumstances beyond the 1,000 -yard limit otherwise prescribed. In view of the above, therefore, it is our opinion that the "permit area," as defined in Section 27104, as proposed to be added by the initiative, would not include any area, inclduing any area of the Sacramento Delta, which is east of the coastal mountain range.
