Councilwoman Cherveny explained this item and indicated that
she finds it interesting that the contract is being extended
really only eight months, based on the September 8 contract
date. She read a portion of the contract which indicates that
the contract will be reviewed four months after the next
Council electson. She indicated that she would have no
problem extending the contract to October, however further
extension is tying the hands of the Council elected in June.
She indicated that the Council might want to allow for
evaluations, etc. She stressed that she would lilce to see the
contract extended to October, 1994.
MOVED BY DOMINGUEZ, SECONDED BY WINKLEI2 TO EXTEND THE CITY
MANAGER'S CONTRACT TO AUGUST 1, 1995.
Mayor Washburn indicated that he had placed this item on the
agenda to allow for continuity on the Stadium and other major
projects uncierway.
Councilman Alonqi indicated that he also had a problem with
this extension because the contract already allows for
extensions. He further indicated that he sees no provision of
the Council to arbitrarily extend this contract. He commented
tTaat whxle he realizes what Mr. Molendyk has done for the
City, he thinks it is an insult Y.o f.hose who might be elected.
He indicated that with the shift in elections to June, the
contract is automatically extended two months. He suggested
that the new Council should be allowed to judge the City
Manager on his merits. He indicated that this action was
forcing the Council to put the City Manager in a bad position.
He suggested that the Council not grant the one year
extension.

of the Council, and noted that a new Council could adjust the
contract as they wish. He further indicated that he wanted

Cost Recoverv for Nuisance Abatement of Y,ot on Jov Street.
Cost Recovery for Demolition of 207 E. Potterve
Councilman Alongi commented on items 10 through 15, noting
that he is not comfortable with the verbiage "after two
years". He indicated that he would like to see the repayment
pursued immediately after the two year period. He stressed his
concern for assuring that repayment is received.
City Attorney Harper indicated that this was not a problem, as
it was the intent of the language. He further indicated that
it would most likely still come back to Council for direction,
because they would need to decide how much to spend in cases
where there is only $300 outstanding.
Councilman Alongi questioned the processing and whether more
than one can be done at a time. City Attorney Harper
indicated that they are individual foreclosure actions with
separate lawsuits and court dates. Mr. Alongi commented that
it would not be done as one case on one day; and noted that it
is a total of $70,000 to 80,000. Yie questioned why it could
not all be done in one day. City Attorney Harper stressed
that each foreclosure is a separate lawsuit. Councilman
Alongi suggested petitioning the court to handle all of them
the same day. City Attorney Harper indicated that because of
different lawyers and property owners this would most likely
not be possible. Councilman Alongi further stressed that the
attorney was not dealing with a sinqle dollar amount.
Councilman Winkler commented that even with several cost
recoveries being approved today, in two years there might only
be one or two left to address. He indicated that it is
incumbent on the City Attorney to propose the best use of
dollars to address the outstanding repayments.
Councilman Alongi indicated that if the City takes a position
to lien the property, but the money cannot be collected, the
City shouldn't spend the money.
Mayor Washburn indicated suggested that the issues be
addressed in two years when it is time to address them. He
indicated that the City Attorney tends to act in a timely
matter on these itemse
City Attorney Harper indicated that most liens are collected
upon the sale of the property, which means no foreclosure
proceedings are necessary. Ae further indicated that he
understood the direction to look at them in two years and
PAGE SYB - CITY COIINCIL MINtJTE~ - JANUARY 25o 5994
consider pursuing foreclosure.
Councilman Alongi inqui'red whether legal fees are recouped on
this type of action. He further inquired whether
administrative gees can be collected as in the weed abatement
actions. City Attorney indicated that they are included in
the cost but clarified the repayment. He also explained that
the best alternative on smaller amounts might be to place them
on the tax rolls.

Councilman Alongi indicated that this was discussed at the
last meeting and received a 2 to 2 vote. He further indicated
that he has discussed this matter with the City Attorney at
length. He noted the different vote requirements for
different items and read the definition of "majority voteoe~
stressing the portion about "cannot be obtained"o He stressed
that there were four Councilmembers present at the last
meeting so a majority vote could have been obtained.
City Attorney Harper clarified the Council Policy and noted
that interpretation of majority vote beinq three was a moot
point in that it would require three to hold a meeting in the
first place. He suqgested alternative interpretations, but
noted ~hat there is some degree of ambiguity. Further

BUSINESS ITEMS
30o Uraencv Interim Ordinance No. 974 -
(F:172.1)(X:32.1)
City Attorney Harper indicated that the Municipal Code
currently sets up regulations for Adult Businesses. He noted
that an application has been received to place a business in
the C-2 Zoning District. He clarified that upon examining the
impact of that business, staff was concerned that the C-2 zone
might not be appropriate. He advised that Government Code
Section 65858 allows the City Council to adopt what is
essentially a moratorium for 45 days. He detailed the
required steps following the adoption of this ordinance and
the allowances for extension of the moratorium. He stressed
that while the City cannot prohibit this type of business, it
is possible to regulated this type of business and the area in
which it would be allowed.
Councilwoman Cherveny inquired whether it would be possible to
require a C.U.P. for this type of business. City Attorney
Yiarper indicated that it would be possible, but the use itself
can not be a consideration. He noted the burden on cities to
requlate this type of business and sugqested that it is
generally easier to designated areas in which the use would be
allowed. He noted that Mission Viejo has recently designated
three areas of the City in which this type of business would
be allowed if all conditions are met.
Mayor Washburn noted a large number of requests to speak on
this item. The following people spoke in opposition to this
application and Adult Businesses in general with particular
concerns for the McDonald's Playland in the vicinity of the
proposed store, the vicinity to residential areas and the
vicinity to Railroad Canyon School:
