The City Council of the City of Lynwood met in a special
meeting in the City Hall, 11330 Bullis Road, on the above
date at 5:00 p.m.
Mayor Byork in the chair.
Councilmen Morris, Henning, Rowe, Thompson, and Byork
answered the roll call.
Also present were City Manager Gomez and Assistant City
Attorney Huebsch.
The City Manager stated the Chamber of Commerce was making
a presentation.
Mr. M. McBride, President of the Chamber of Commerce, made
an informal presentation to the Council with a proposal that
permits cities to impose an assessment on businesses within
City limits. In 1965 the California State Legislature
enacted the "Parking and Business Improvement Area Law",
formerly AB 103. The updated and adopted law is AB 1693,
1979. The purpose of the law is to authorize cities to
impose assessments or charges, or both, on businesses
within a parking and business improvement area which is in
addition to any assessments, fees, charges or taxes imposed
in the city, and to use such proceeds for the benefit of
business within such parking and business improvement area.
The City Attorney stated this proposal would need a public
hearing, and be reviewed by the City Attorney's office.
After Council discussion, staff was instructed to meet with
'~ the Lynwood Chamber of Commerce and review the proposal
and report back to Council.
The City Manager stated complaints had been received regard-
ing the Dial-A-Vans going out of the City to shop. In the
1984-85 Budget, staff noted the plans for expansion for
weekend service and some out-of-town excursions. Funds
received from Proposition "A" offset many of the costs of
operations for this service which is within the scope of
Proposition "A" funds. The City Manager stated a service
was being provided. Councilman Thompson spoke against any
out-of-town service, but agreed a 10-mile radius would be
all right for only medical and hospital service, and not for
shopping trips. Councilman Henning stated out-of-town shop-
ping would not benefit the City local businessmen, and he
was against such trips. Councilman Rowe questioned the
insurance liability. The City Manager stated insurance
coverage is in effect at all times no matter where. After
further discussion, it was moved by Councilman Thompson,
seconded by Councilman Henning to limit the service to
essential services.
