Study. He informed the Council of the cities and agencies which were also in support

Garden Grove, Stanton and Chino. He acknowledged that there was a need for a study,
that the airport was deficient at the present time, but stressed that the study
should be objective and made by an objective group, adding that, in his opinion,

study. Councilman Wedaa outlined ways in which he believed the study should be con-
ducted. Discussion was held between Councilman Wedaa and Councilwoman Wieder
regarding the matter.

Kern, President of (PATCH? People Against the Chino Hills Airport, Councilman Coen

Aide, which had been provided to Council updating them on the survey conducted by

sider revocation, allowing Mr. Tucker to pursue his investigation.

BILLBOARD LITIGATION - REPORT SCHEDULED FOR 6/15 77
The City Administrator referred to a report which had been prepared by the City
Attorney and submitted to Council regarding the status of billboard litigation
involving the City of San Diego and Metromedia, Inc.,' and its effect on the City.
He referred to the impact of the San Diego decision as follows: That the Hunting-
ton Beach total City-wide prohibition of billboards would be unconstitutional and
invalid and if the City forced the pending Metromedia case to trial, it would
probably fail, based upon the same principles enumerated in the San Diego case and,
therefore, a new offsite advertising display ordinance, consistent with the San
Diego decision should be prepared and that the City should negotiate a settlement
of pending litigation with Metromedia and the other billboard companies.
The City Administrator stated, with Council concurrence, he would proceed to
direct the City Attorney to inform him of the necessary steps for report to Council.
The Planning Director stated that such an ordinance would take approximately
four weeks to prepare.
Mayor Pattinson directed that the matter be brought before Council at the August 15,
1977 Council meeting.
Councilwoman Gibbs commended the City Attorney on his report and stated that she
regretted the outcome of the proceedings; that Council was primarily interested
in 'cleaning up the City'.
The City Attorney stated that a petition for hearing had been filed with the Supreme
Court which has not, as yet, been acted upon, and suggested that Council move
cautiously because if the Supreme Court grants the petition for hearing, the opinion
of the District Court of Appeals will be automatically vacated and the City will then
have to wait fpr a ruling by the Supreme Court.
PROCEDURE FOR APPOINTMENTS
Councilwoman Wieder stated that the City Administrator had provided Council with
the minute action relative to the procedure adopted by Council the previous year
relative to appointments to City commissions. She requested that the procedure be
put in a guideline form and provided to Council.
