SCHEDULED MATTERS
The Mayor announced the time had arrived to conduct a public
hearing on the Housing Assistance Plan. Diane Oggolini, Consultant
with Daniel Cartehena $ Associates, explained that this docu-
ment fulfills a requirement of HUD for a 3 -year Housing
Assistance Plan which assesses the needs of the City as to
low and moderate income housing needs. The three year goals
have been established taking into consideration the amount
of staff available in the City. She explained that 330 of
the goals are expected to be met each year. This document
is used as a tool of monitoring the City's ability to meet
its needs of other rehabilitation and new housing. The plan
also addresses the needs of other categories of people in
the City such as elderly and handicapped. HUD expects the
City to reach its rehabilitation goals through outreach
efforts. The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to
speak in favor of or in opposition to the resolution.
Mr. W. Cunningham, 10821 Cornish, questioned if this program
would be city - wideor just in sections. It was stated the
program would be effective city -wide.
Mr. A. Bramlett, 11635 Louise, stated this program has been
effective in other cities and he is in favor of it.
Community Development Director Importuna explained that the
City is now working with HUD rather than through the county
due to the increase in population to over 50,000. There was
no further business and the public hearing was closed.
After Council discussion,
RESOLUTION NO. 85 -130 entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD TO APPROVE A THREE YEAR HAP

Ayes: Councilmen Henning, Morris, Rowe, Thompson, Byork

Councilman Henning questioned Item No. 10, Contract Approval
for Recreation Classes and thought department heads should
be able to approve items as small as this. The City Manager
suggested maintenance contracts also be approved by depart-
ment heads. The City Attorney was requested to bring back
an ordinance which would allow items under $500 to be
administratively approved by the department heads and City
Manager. After Council discussion, it was moved by Council-
man Thompson, seconded by Councilman Morris, that the Mayor
be authorized to sign all class instructor contracts as

The City Manager stated there was an additional item which
was a draft urgency ordinance to impose a moratorium for
45 days on new construction in the R -2 and R -3 Zones. The
purpose of this moratorium was to allow staff time to hold
a study session regarding apartments in multi - family zones.
The City Attorney read new language to be included in the
ordinance "of multiple family residential structures." He
suggested Council waive reading and introduce by title only,
and approve the draft findings in Section 4.
ORDINANCE NO. 1259 entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF ANY NEW USE OF NEW CONSTRUCTION IN THE R -2 OR R -3 ZONES

COMPLETION OF STUDY AND REPORT BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION
PERTAINING TO THE PROPER DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTIES IN THE
R -2 AND R -3 ZONES, INCLUDING CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION, AND
SRTTING FORTH FACTS CONSTITUTING SAME AS AN URGENCY ORDI-
NANCE." was presented.
It was moved by Councilman Morris, seconded by Councilman
Thompson, that the ordinance be adopted.
It was announced that staff will be providing separate
notices to each individual that has recently obtained a
conditional use permit to build apartments in the multi-
family residential zones. The Mayor and City Manager dis-
cussed having a city -wide meeting in order to receive public
input on this issue. Mr. L. Sampson wanted clarification
on what the public meeting would cover. It was agreed to
hold the meeting in January, 1986.

It was moved by Councilman Morris, seconded by Councilman
Henning, declaring the urgency of the ordinance and approving
the findings in the ordinance. Councilman Henning announced
that he was appealing any conditional use permit the Planning
Commission had approved for apartments.
The City Attorney stated the moratorium will operate when the
building permit is taken out. The ordinance will not stop
Planning Department review and consideration at the staff
level, or Planning Commission review. Director Importuna
thought the Planning Commission should only review applica-
tions which require a zone change. The City Manager suggested
the Planning Commission could approve or deny the conditional
use permit with ultimate approval by the City Council. The
Mayor asked for a roll call.

TY CLERK'S AGENDA
Henning, Morris, Rowe, Thompson, Byork
Councilman Morris requested that the ordinance for second
reading regarding amending the Lynwood Municipal Code by
providing city wide regulations of establishments selling
alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption be returned to
the Planning Commission for reconsideration of certain portions
of the ordinance, such as distance between establishments that
sell liquor, and whether mini - markets should be allowed.
Councilman Henning thought some of the mini - market service
stations look very attractive. The City Manager suggested
ti��
Council hold a workshop to outline those items they wish
the Planning Commission to review. He thought the sugges-
tions should be specific. Mayor Byork stated he felt staff
understood Council's directions.
i�

It was moved by Councilman Henning, seconded by Councilman

ment will be made at the regular meeting of November 5, 1985.

The City Attorney stated that it requires a 4 /5th vote to

recruitment outside of current City employees, and not to
outside of the City of Lynwood. The motion failed.
COUNCIL ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Councilman Henning wished to state again that he wished to
appeal the decision of the Planning Commission to develop
apartments on Louise Avenue. The Mayor acknowledged his
request. He also questioned the audit report deficiency
items such as the purchasing system and fixed assets
records. The City Manager explained that the new accounting
person will handle those items, and further explained that
improvements have been made in the audit report every year
since he has been City Manager.
63
Councilman Thompson noted that the purpose of the audit
is to point out areas the City needs to look at and is
never expected to be 100% perfect.
64 •
PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. L. Sampson, 12106 Second Avenue, suggested that the
City Council meet with the Planning Commission to discuss
the zoning designations for the City. He was concerned
with P -1 and CB -1 properties where homes may burn down
and could not be rebuilt without zone changes.
Ms. I. Honorof, 2901 Los Flores, wanted to thank Council
for adopting the proclamation for Alzheimer's Disease
and stated all aluminum products are conducive to the
disease.
Mr.L. Epperly, 11332 Louise, thought the Planning Commission
had made decisions on certain issues that come before them.
Also he wondered why it is not required that answers be
received on environmental impact reports. He asked how
it can be determined there is no environmental impact when
they have not received answers back from the school district,
Sheriff's Department and other agencies.
Mr. H. Rohr, 11265 Louise, referred to 11361 and 11363 Louise
and stated he did not like the way the approval of the apart-
ments was handled. He stated the alley shown on the map was
a dedicated street.
Mr. A. Bramlett, 11265 Louise, wanted to know what happens
when an item is appealed. He was informed that after public
notice, another public hearing would be held by the City
Council. He felt the Planning Commission should be concerned
when there are 227 signatures against a project, and that
staff should be more careful when preparing environmental
impact studies.. He further wondered why expanding the
300 feet notification process had not been discussed.
Councilman Henning felt that if the people do not want
apartments in their residential area, and the Planning
Commission approves them anyway, the commissioners are not
doing their job.
Mr. C. Beales, 11353 Duncan, asked if the move -ons are
included in the moratorium. The City Attorney explained
that they have a vested right to go forward if thev have
already obtained a building permit. The City Manager noted
that the move -on currently giving the City problems, has
been given a 30 -day notice to proceed with construction and
so far they have been fined $1,800. If they do not proceed,
they will be fined again.
The Mayor recessed Council for a closed session at 9:15 p.m.
for personnel matters and litigation in the school district EIR.
Council reconvened at 9:35 p.m.
The City Attorney stated Council met in a closed session to
discuss personnel matters and litigation items. The following
action was taken:
It was moved by Mayor Byork, seconded by Councilman Henning,
to authorize staff to pursue settlement of the Luna Worker's
Compensation claim. Motion was carried unanimously.
There was no further business, and it was moved by Councilman
Morris, seconded by Councilman Henning, and carried, to
adjourn to November 5, 1985.

WHEREAS, the present joint and'several liability
law, also known as the "Deep Pocket Doctrine ", has unfairly
cost the cities of California millions of dollars in court
judgements, settlements, legal costs, skyrocketing insurance
premiums and difficulty in obtaining adequate liability
insurance coverage; and
WHEREAS, this same doctrine has also cost other
governmental bodies, business firms and professionals many
millions of dollars; and
WHEREAS, many cities, other governmental bodies,
business firms and professionals are selected as defendants
in lawsuits merely because of their perceived assets or
insurance and often are found only fractionally at fault
but must pay most or all of the judgment because the defendants
most at fault cannot pay; and
WHEREAS, the cost of this is unfairly borne by the tax-
payers and consumers of California; and
WHEREAS, the "Fair Responsibility Act of 1986" is an
initiative measure that wou.'d give the voters of California an
opportunity to reform the inequities and injustices of the "Deep
Pocket Doctrine" by holding liability lawsuit defendants financially
liable in closer proportion to their degree of fault;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council
of the City of Lynwood endorse the "Fair Responsibility Act of 1986"

Attn; Chief Administrative Officer
City Clerk
Dear Sirs,
We have an Emergency situation that requires your attention.
By this time it is no secret that the
has gone beserk. This market affects
Cab Co., your licensed transportation
are twofold. The limits that most of
are simply not available anywhere. S,
increased from Fifty Thousand to just
per year.
Auto Liability Insurance Market
the City and Day and Nite
provider. Our problems
our nineteen cities require
:condly, our premiums have
under Ninety Five Thousand
The only Liability Limits available are $350,000. per occurrence.
This is of particular significance since our current carrier that
offered one million dollar limits was taken over by the State. Most
of the cab operators were insured by this company and received
a cancellation notice as we did. Because of the condition of the
Market, reinsurance is not available to anyone. If it is of any
.consolation, the City of Los Angeles has recesntly conceded to its
fifteen hundred cabs that they may operate at these limits because
there is in fact no alternative.
The good news is that Day & Nite Yellow Cab is an active member
of the Taxicab Paratransit Association of California and have joined
forces with the substancial, legitimate operators to start our own
Insurance Company. Because all twenty one of us are long standing
legitimate operators that are recognized by the Cities we serve,
collectively we have caught the attention of several recognizable
Insurance companies that expressed a sincere desire to offer us
what coverage we will need through re- insurance. In short, we
recognize the exposure brought about by this market turn and have
taken the necessary action to remedy it.
We request you take the same action that Los Angeles has taken.
They have simply left their Liabilitiy Limits as they are and
chose not to enforce them as long as they are kept aware of any
changes. The reasoning for this is their operators participation
in the same self insured endeavor that Day & Nite is undertaking.

Our second problem is more critical. Besides our approximate
Fifty Five Thousand Dollar ( Actually premium increase will
be well beyond this projected increase due to the number of
self adjusted claims that will be necessary to keep premiums
from further escalation ) increase in Liability, our Workers
Compensation payments have risen to an incredible 25.80 percent.
We are asking the City to take immediate action to approve a
rate increase of twenty cents per mile and a forty cent increase
for initial flag drop. That would bring our rates to $2.40
flag drop, $1.60 per mile based on .20 per eighth of one mile
and a fifty cent surcharge. Actually the surcharge that was
approved by your City during the gas crunch and escalating
insurance crisis of years past has prevented us from asking for
addittional increases. Our last increase was in 1980.
It is physically impossible for me to attend all nineteen City
Council meetings to answer questions. If the Council feels
uncomfortable with this request and needs to ask any questions,
I will be at your service anytime. If it is absolute that I attend
a council meeting, myself or a member of my staff will attend.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Duke Perrin, President
