HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT; PUBLIC HEARING -- PROPOSED NOISE CONTROL ORDINANCE
Gentlemen:
At the meeting of September 12, 1972, the Planning Commission recommended
Council consideration of the attached Noise Control Ordinance. 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

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

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

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.

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

purchase and authorization to make payment to the property owner. Therefore,
each resolution should be acted upon independently.

property in Phase I of the Long Beach Boulevard Improvement Program.

HONORABLE MAYOR AND

SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT #'2
Gentlemen:
Upon instructions from the City Council, a meeting of the Administrative
Committee for the proposed Underground Utility District #2 was held on
October 12, 1972. 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.
Report and adopt a Resolution calling
1972, to determine whether a

SUBJECT. 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,

HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: COMPUTER SERVICES FOR WATER BILLING OFFICE
Gentlemen:
During the past several months, the Staff has been investigating various
methods toward increasing the efficiency of the Water Billing Office.
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.

Dear Mr. Alvarado:
Thank you for this opportunity to propose our Interactive
Accounting System (IAS) for Municipalities to process your,
Utility Billing needs. 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.

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.

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.

SUBJECT: OFF -SITE IMPROVEMENTS ADJACENT
TO MONTGOMERY WARD PROJECT
Gentlemen:
9
In this year's Capital Improvement Budget, Project No. 11 and 12
provide for off -site improvements adjacent to the Montgomery Ward
Project. 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.
RECOMMENDATION
Council accept proposals from Robert Crommelin and
for the preparation of traffic signal and lighting plans

SUBJECT: REVENUE SHARING ALLOCATION FORMULA
GentLemen;
Under a provision of the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972, the
State is provided with the option of utilizing other formulas of distribution
for future revenue sharing funds among units of local government. 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.
Attached for Council consideration is a Resolution which has been adopted by
a number of Southern California communities requesting the State to amend
the allocation formula for Revenue Sharing Funds. Also attached is a chart
which indicates the Revenue Sharing allocatLons for cities in Los Angeles
County, including the original House formula, the final amended formula,
and the per capita income based on these formulas.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adoption of the attached Resolution entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD REQUESTING THAT THE STATE

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.

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:

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO EEA SUB - AGREEMENT -- SECTION 6
Gentlemen
The City of Lynwood is presently operating under two separate Sections of the
Emergency Employment Act which allows for 90% Federal Funding of personnel
hired under the program. Section 6 of this act was approved by the City Council
in November of 1971 by entering into the Sub - Agreement with,Los Angeles
County.
This Sub- Agreement with the County terminates on November 1, 1972, and to
date Congress has not approved re- funding except on a month -by -month basis.
Although this re- funding is anticipated by the County, it is necessary for the
City to amend the above noted sub - agreement in order to receive funding on a
monthly basis pending action by Congress. As you recall, at the meeting of
September 19, 1972, the Council took similar action to amend the Section 5
Sub - Agreement for this same purpose.
Attached for Council consideration is a proposed amendment to the Sub-Agreement
drafted by Los Angeles County which is required to be approved by the City be-
fore November 1, 1972. An additional Sub- Agreement will be forthcoming when
Congress takes action on final funding of this program.
RECOMMENDATION
Council authorize the Mayor to sign the attached Amendment to the Sub - Agreement.

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.

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.

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.
Sincerely yours,
GMC /db

Dear W ely,
ic this past Sunday in Lynwood
was a great success. Had we ordered the
weather for the day, we might have ordered
something just a bit sunnier. However, it's
"hard to knock success."
I appreciate the tremendous job you did
and send along my thanks.

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.

Mayor of Atlanta

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.

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.

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.
Very truly yours,
George H. Murphy
