Mayor Bue announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed
for the continuation of subject hearing.
City Manager Jones reported that staff had prepared papers for submittal
to Los Angeles County, applying for $129,133 of Community Development
Block Grant Funds. Advised that the County had agreed that $38,000 of
the applied amount could be used to study the feasibility of a senior
citizen housing project, and the remaining amount set aside as a contin-
gency to carry out Council approved recommendations which may result
from the study. Advised the application consisted of a Statement of
Community Development objectives, the cost summary and project summary.
The Mayor inquired if any written communications had been received. City
Clerk Burrowes stated she had received none in her office. Councilman
Armstrong advised he had received a letter from Mr. Joseph G. Vittori
which he handed to the City Clerk. The Clerk read the letter containing
a request that the Council rescind its motion made at the April 6 meeting
to accept HUD money for a senior housing study and asked that no funds be
set aside in contingency. The letter opposed acceptance of federal funds
on the grounds that it places the ability of the City for self- determina-
tion in these matters in jeopardy. The letter recommended use of surplus
funds rather than making application for federal money.

matter. Hearing no response, motion was made by Councilman Siadek,
seconded by Councilman Armstrong, that the public hearing be closed.
Motion carried.

approve the application for the grant.

7. ORAL REPORTS
Mrs. Edna Freeman, 418 Loma Vista Street, advised she did not want any
money back nor did she favor having HUD funds in this City.
* Mr. Maurice Fisk, 1425 East Sycamore Avenue, spoke against accepting
the funds.
Mrs. Audrey Ross, 714 Bungalow Drive, stated she was totally against
federal money, that the federal deficit cannot be lowered if every
city wants a free hand out.
Mr. Dennis Martin, 836 East Grand Avenue, stated there were alternatives
for senior housing by using vacant school facilities; that the number one
priority should be senior affordable housing. Asked to speak on Item b
under the Consent Calendar and Items 12.b.2 and 12.c.3. Also asked the
City Clerk to read his letter on the agenda under Item 11.
Mrs. Katherine Manson, 341 Concord Street, disagreed that the school
facilities could be used for senior citizens' housing.
Mr. Jack Trystman, Chairman of the Noise Abatement Committee, advised
that Walder Development Company had given the right for an air corridor
easement over its property in E1 Segundo, which action forfeits the rights
of appeal of eighteen condominium owners. Stated he had talked to Council-
man Armstrong about this problem and had made inquiries of the City Attorney
about the legality of doing this without the City knowing about it; and
whether citizens can give up their rights in this manner.
Planning Director Romaniello reported that Mr. DuBois of the State Depart-
ment of Real Estate had informed him the City should not take any action,
his department was responsible and would investigate. Explained that
this easement was not giving air rights for aircraft to fly over the
property, it was an avigation easement which gives up rights to sue in
regard to noise from aircraft in the area.
City Attorney Allen advised that a citizen may convey an avigation ease-
ment without the City's consent and that the State Division of Real
Estate advises an avigation easement is not a State requirement.
Mr. Trystman stated the Noise Abatement Committee is trying to protect
the City from excessive noise levels and the committee deserves a reply
as to what the City has found out and to be assured this could not happen
again.
The Mayor asked the City Attorney and the Director of Planning to look
into this matter and respond.
Mayor Bue explained that Mr. Trystman gave a committee report and there-
fore was allowed more than the five minutes usually allowed under oral
communications.
Mr. Dennis Martin asked that a new procedure be established, that the
points he brings to the Council are important and would like them to be
considered for placement on the next meeting's agenda for discussion and
or action. Asked that the Council take action tonight to place the matter
of using surplus school buildings for senior citizen housing.on the next
agenda.

all sorts of offers for use of the school buildings, and the Council saw
no purpose of placing the item on the agenda.
Mr. Martin stated the purpose would be to give everyone a right to speak
to the Council on this subject.
The Mayor advised Mr. Martin that he had already been allowed his time
at the microphone.
Mr. Martin continued and the Mayor asked Mr. Martin to let other people
speak.
Mr. Walt Eggert, 1435 East Sycamore Avenue, stated that if the Council
intends to investigate the condition of senior citizens in town and
finds there is a need, the Council is derelect in its duty to have had
such a need existing in this City.
Mr. Dave Jones, 438 Maryland Street, stated the school is a separate
entity from the City and will determine what to do with surplus school
property. Asked why then would certain groups want to solicit an opinion
of the City Council on this school problem.
Councilman Siadek explained that certain uses of the property may involve
a zoning matter
Mr. Jones stated he thought the Council's time should not be taken up
at this time, when no action can be taken.
Mrs. Katherine Manson, stated that half of the School District and half
of the City taxes belong to the Wiseburn School District, and the people
should be aware that nothing can be done with the taxes east of Sepulveda
Boulevard.

b. Councilman Siadek asked that anything relative to noise matters that
come up for consideration by staff be given to the Noise Abatement Commit-
tee for its consideration also.
Councilman Armstrong stated this would give the Committee a chance to react
to the proposals; that since a committee has been established, it should be
used.
City Manager Jones advised this may cause some delay in the process, that
each internal referral adds time to the process. Stated that if the Council
is considering this procedure, policy would need to be established as to
what roll the various committees would have in the process.
Councilman Armstrong and Siadek stated the procedure need not be delayed
if the paper work is routed to the committees as it is to the various
departments with due dates given for return of comments.
After discussion, Council consensus was that matters pertaining to noise
shall be routed to the Noise Abatement Committee for consideration and
comment.

Councilman Johnson stated that each of the cities along the freeway route
were being asked to contribute $200 to cover expenses of the ground break-
ing ceremonies.
Motion was made by Councilman Johnson, seconded by Councilman Siadek, that
$200 be appropriated from the General Fund Reserve to cover expenses at
the Ground Breaking Ceremonies of the I -105 Freeway. Motion carried.
b. Report of South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority
Councilman Armstrong advised he had talked about having a report on the
feasibility of E1 Segundo operating its own emergency communications
system and wondered if something could be prepared for the next Council
meeting.
Councilman Siadek stated he thought the concept of the joint communica-
tions center was good, but E1 Segundo should have a contingency plan,
maintaining the basics of the MDT concept in case more cities withdraw
from the Center.
City Manager Jones reported that E1 Segundo has a back -up system and is
prepared to move quickly to provide communications if necessary. Stated
there are operational advantages in a joint communications system between
Police and Fire agencies and thought this was the best method. Advised
that E1 Segundo could not go back to its old system; it would not meet
the needs of today. Suggested that a study be made jointly by all six
cities in the group to determine what improvements would be most advan-
tageous to the cities. Advised further that this would take a great
deal of time, but studying separately would not necessarily develop a
good plan for all cities.
