City Council Minutes
2 February 18, 1992
Mayor ProTem Dannen stated he understood this was only for the term of the IZO and goes no
further than the IZO; Councilman Wise concurred.
Mayor Jacobson questioned that since the discussion was getting into the issues which fall also
under the continued public hearing of the IZO, would they like to bring up that item also for
discussion with this one; Council concurred.
3. Continued Public Hearing: On the Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO).
Mayor Jacobson stated this was a continued public hearing on the interim zoning ordinance, and
asked City Clerk Hart if proper noticing had been done in a timely manner and whether any

Bill Mason, President of the Chamber of Commerce addressed Council on the following as a
representative of the task force: 1) Administrative Use Permit - Staff has 5 days to deem an
application complete, and the task force feels the 5 days should be reimplemented should it be
deemed incomplete; Mayor Jacobson stated that it would be reimplemented. Mr. Mason
continued with 2) M2 Zone: They recommended CM and Ml uses be permitted uses in the M2
zone under the Administrative Use Permit process - subject to a five year review.
Gene Carver, Executive Office of a company owner property on Coral Circle asked for a
definition on freight forwarding; Mayor Jacobson stated he believed the Planning Department
was working on this; Ms. Jester concurred that they were.
Ron Simms, 10100 Santa Monica Blvd., Ste. 920, Los Angeles, 90067 addressed Council regarding
assessment district for freight forwarding, and that a five year review would make it extremely
difficult to lease to a quality tenant.
Karen Ackland, Past President - Chamber of Commerce addressed Council expanded on Mr.
Mason's recommendation in reference to the M2 zoned area, and traffic impacts to the
infrastructure of the City.
Owen Muller, Northrup Corporation - Real Estate addressed Council stating that currently the
IZO does not affect Northrup; in favor of shortening the application time frame for CUP's;
inserting a fee to those users to make up for any damage they may do to the infrastructure; in
favor of a 5 year term if that is all the applicant is willing to go, and he felt the AUP
requirement for a warehouse use and CUP requirement for a distribution center in the IZO are
synonymous.
Stu Aplin, 1102 E. Acacia addressed Council suggesting taxing freight forwarding trucks as an
alternative.
MOVED by Mayor ProTem Dannen; SECONDED by Councilman Wise close the public hearing.
MOTION PASSED BY UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE 5/0.
Mayor Jacobson asked for clarification on whether they could take any action this evening based
upon the recommendation on the agenda for the IZO item; City Attorney Dolley responded he
believed on the IZO they could make any motion concerning that ordinance.
Mayor ProTem Dannen questioned even if the agenda states only discussion and closure of the
public hearing; City Attorney Dolley responded that was the recommendation but they could
make motions on it, but the subject of freight forwarders was not on this agenda.
City Attorney Dolley stated he understood Council's direction was recognizing that CUP's were
required two years ago for freight forwarding, and that they directed the batching of all existing
freight forwarding CUP's. That is the direction which has been taken and presently in process,
he did not hear prior to this evening - a suggestion that the freight forwarders would be
considered further under the IZO - and it was not placed on the agenda for that purpose.
Therefore, this being so and after reading the agenda item, it does not seem appropriate this
evening to amend the IZO under the present circumstances concerning freight forwarders.
Mayor ProTem Dannen asked for clarification on whether the Council could take action on the
IZO this evening, or direct staff to come back with something; City Attorney Dolley suggested
the latter, but actually taking action to change the IZO with respect to anything this evening -
was not agendized.
City Council Minutes
3 February 18, 1992
City Manager Cano stated that this was staffs clear direction - get the IZO adopted and in
process. Council can direct staff to proceed with any investigative work which needs to be done,
and then the IZO can be amended; Councilman Wise responded that this was exactly the
direction.
Mayor Jacobson suggested allowing any use allowed in the CM for M1 zones - to be allowed by
AUP in existing buildings under 75,000 square feet; that no major external modifications could
be made to those buildings, and that all M2 uses would still require a CUP. This would mean
that all freight forwarders and distribution centers would still require a CUP.
MOVED by Mayor ProTem Dannen; SECONDED by Councilman Wise to approve the two -tiered
conditional use permit system to run in conjunction with the IZO. To clarify this motion, he
stated that when the IZO goes away then so does this two - tiered conditional use permit system.
MOTION PASSED BY THE FOLLOWING VOICE VOTE - 4/1: AYES - Mayor ProTem
Dannen, C012iu3lmemI Cruikshank, Week and Wiser NOES - Mayor Jacobson.
MOVED by Councilman West; SECONDED by Mayor Jacobson to direct staff to return on
March 3 with changes to the wording as follows, and return with a report: In the M2 Zone:
Allow any use allowed in the CM zone for M1 zones to be allowed by AUP in existing buildings
under 75,000 square feet; that no major external modifications could be made to those existing
buildings, and that all M2 uses would still require a CUP - which would mean that all freight
forwarders and distribution centers would still require a CUP.
Mayor ProTem Dannen called for a point of order - stating that this was a request to change the
IZO by changing the AUP and CUP requirements. Under Item No. 3 the recommendation is to
discuss and close the public hearing - it allows for no action; Mayor Jacobson stated that the
City Attorney ruled that this would be a direction to staff to come back with it.

Couadlmembe�s Cruikshank and West, NOES: Mayor ProTem Dannen and Counc ilmember

Expenditures by City Clerk.
Mayor ProTem Dannen addressed and questioned City Clerk Hart for an explanation regarding
the capital equipment computer expenditures by the Clerk's Office for elections, and the
purchasing procedures followed by the Clerk's Office. Further stating, he requested and
received the old monitor and card from the City Clerk's staff.
City Clerk Hart responded that the new Dot Matrix printer was specifically purchased to
generate the necessary labels for the Absentee Ballots and the Sample Ballots for the electorate
which in the past have been generated by an outside firm for a large fee.
Councilman Wise questioned why the purchase was made without budget or Council's approval;
City Clerk Hart responded he did charge this against the budget account.
Mayor ProTem Dannen questioned what Account Numbers 1302 -6214 and 1301 -6215 were; Steve
Klotzsche, Finance Director, responded that Account Number 1302 -6214 was an Election Account
for Maintenance and Repairs, and that Account Number 1301 -6215 was the City Clerk Account
for Repair and Maintenance.
City Clerk Hart responded that his office has one computer for three work stations, and that the
hard drive wore out on the computer and needed replacement, and that every two weeks the
Office was using Disk Doctor software to try and maintain it as long as possible. A new one was
purchased to replace the crashed hard drive. The 200 megabyte system was purchased because
it was the most economical cost per megabyte there, and after looking around it was the most
inexpensive. The SVGA Monitor and Card purchases came out of the City Clerk's Account for
repair and maintenance for upgrade, and was purchased for the ease of use and lack of strain
on the operator - the card allows all lines of a document to be present on the screen instead of
just a partial document.
MOVED by Mayor ProTem Dannen; SECONDED by Councilman Wise to restrict the City
Clerk's purchases to $100 or less, and that those purchases are therefore restricted item for item
- any purchases over that require Council approval prior to the purchase.
City Clerk Hart responded he felt this was unfair unless this procedure was put into place on
everyone.
Mayor Jacobson stated that the City Clerk's Office is in the process of running an election and
this could create a problem since the Council only meets twice a month.
City Council Minutes
5 February 18, 1992
Mayor ProTem Dannen questioned how they could ensure that the proper purchasing procedures
would be followed in the future, and recommended also restricting attorney fees no matter what
they were for.
City Clerk Hart responded that the legal fees the City Clerk's Office had were generated by the
election, and referenced his responsibilities under California Election Code 10000.
Discussion ensued regarding restrictions on the purchases, payments of attorney fees, proper
purchasing procedures, and the Clerk's budget.
Mayor ProTem Dannen withdrew his original motion.
Mayor Jacobson asked City Clerk Hart if he was maintaining a database for the Voter Index
regarding this election; City Clerk Hart responded that he was.
City Manager Cano stated that no one is authorized to spend money unless it is specifically
authorized by the Council. In addition, there is a policy that no department head or employee
is allowed to exceed the dollar amount within each of the three categories. Furthermore, the
Department Heads have the flexibility to move money within line items of those three categories.
He recommended that should the City Clerk's Office exceed the $40,000 budgeted amount for
the election, that he needs to come back to the Council with a budget request to increase that
appropriate level. Also, that the Clerk's Office follow the Purchasing Procedure Policy on all
transactions.
MOTION by Mayor ProTem Dannen; SECONDED by Councilman West to approve the warrants
as they stand; direct staff to confiscate one each computer; move the computer into the City
Manager's Office - as it will be purchased from General Funds, and City Clerk Hart can then
justify a new computer and expenditures before the Council.

of VGA Monitors and Cards; Mayor ProTem Dannen stated he would then amend his motion.
AMENDED MOTION by Mayor ProTem Dannen; SECONDED by Councilman West to approve

outstanding warrants for computer equipment at this time, and that it is paid out of the General
Fund; direct staff to confiscate one each computer; move the computer into the City Manager's
Office as it will be purchased from General Funds - Capital Equipment Account, and City Clerk
Hart can then justify a new computer and expenditures before the Council.
Mayor Jacobson stated that the City Clerk's Office is presently running an election which needs
to be run in a proper and efficient manner, and he did not go through proper channels and there
is not excuse - but is justified for what he was trying to do.
