A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was posted at 10:50 a.m. on
June 7, 1996 at the Civic Center Kiosk, containing all items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the regular meeting of June 11, 1996 to order, the first order of business being the
continuation of the Fiscal Year 1996/1997 Departmental Budget Workshop. (See minutes of the
adjourned regular meeting of June 4, 1996, held June 11, for the first part of the workshop and
presentations).
106: {Continuation) PUBLIC HEARING - CITY BUDGET: To consider the proposed 1996/1997
Budget Plan.
Randall Gaston, Chief of Police - Police Department - Budget Document pages 62-65. Dudng his
presentation, Chief Gaston pointed out that Part I (violent) crimes continue to show a decline and gang
homicides have declined, Thus far this year, there have been no gang related homicides, Two years
ago, there were 14 such homicides. Anaheim's rank in cities with violent crimes is near the bottom.
Relative to the impact of the INS Officers in the City jail, Chief Gaston explained they are starting to see
according to their own surveys fewer people coming into the facility that were potentially identified as
being in the country unlawfully. To him, that is an indication there are fewer of those individuals in town
committing crimes. Relative to the deterrent effect, something must be accounting for them seeing
fewer people than they were potentially identifying. The INS Agents have been very helpful. In many
instances, they have had some sweeps where multiple departments have been involved and Anaheim's
facility was used as the headquarters. Because of the Agents being present, the INS on a recent sweep
identified a number of the people as being in the country illegally. Their presence has been an asset and
even though their 60 days are up, they are still present. The feeling is it was a productive 60-day
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 1996
experiment. The department is awaiting a report. Alter additional questions posed to the Chief, he
stated he believes that the INS leaving (when they do) will not be an assist but a detriment.
Jeff Bowman, Fire Chief - Fire Department - Budget Document pages 54 and 55. (Submitted was
booklet entitled - Anaheim Fire Class '1" City - which contained hard copies of the slides presented
containing all of the details of the Cblef's presentation - made a part of the record). In concluding his
presentation, Chief Bowman emphasized that sprinklers am still going to be an issue in the community
and he hopes to bring that issue back to the Council for discussion and to prepare documents to share
why the department feels it is necessary to have a sprinkler ordinance in the community.
Ed Aghjayan, Public Utilities General Manager Public Utilities Department -- Etectdc and Water
Utilities -- Budget Document pages 66-71. He flint referenced the many other presentations given to the
Council as updates during the year. He then gave a bdef overview of the total departmental budget.

Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He feels they are ignoring the increasing road maintenance
deficit that is $52.6 million this year. Maintenance of the City's infrastructure should have higher priority
than special projects. The Council needs to redirect its efforts in closing the infrastructure maintenance
deficit. He would be happy to volunteer his services for any ad hoc task force to correct the problem.
Mayor Daly asked if there were any other comments or if anyone else wished to speak for this third and
last time; no one else came forward.

The Mayor declared Resolution Nos. 96R-92 through 96R-95, both inclusive, duly passed and adopted.
ITEMS E, F, G, H, I: On Item E, see staff report dated May 20, 1996 from the Director of Public
Works/City Engineer, Gary Johnson, recommending adoption of the Resolution authorizing the
adjustment of various fees and fee deposits to be charged by the Department of Public Works.
On Item F, see staff report dated May 7, 1996 from the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, Gary
Johnson, recommending adoption of the Resolution authorizing the adjustment of development fees
established pursuant to Chapter 17.30 of the Anaheim Municipal Cede (intedm development fees) -
Anaheim Stadium Business Center.
On Item G, see staff report dated May 7, 1996 from the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, Gary
Johnson, recommending adoption of the Resolution authorizing an adjustment of the development fee
for the Anaheim Stadium Business Center area pursuant to Chapter 17.31 of the Anaheim Municipal
Cede - additional adjustment fees - Anaheim Stadium Business Center.
On Item H, see staff report dated May 13, 1996 from the Director of Public Works/City Engineer
recommending that the Council, by motion, authorize no change in the existing fire protection and
paramedic services fee program and that the City retain the existing fees-in-place.
On Item I, see staff report dated May 13, 1996 from the Director of Public Works/City Engineer
recommending that the Council, by motion, authorize no change in the sanitary sewer and storm draim
fee programs and that the City retain the existing fees-in-place as outlined in attached exhibits.
Gary Johnson, Director of Public Works and City Engineer. He answered questions posed relative to the
minor fee increases (.1% to .3%) noting that some of the fees are tied to the Construction Cost index
which had a very marginal percentage increase in the past year. Some did not change because of the
Iow amount. He explained for Council Member Tait that it would not be a problem for staff not to have
any increase, but the implementation ordinance requires the department to modify the fees on an annual
basis in line with the Construction Cost Index and they are following that procedure.
After additional Council discussion relative to the fees, Mr. Johnson again reiterated that the fees are tied
to the Construction Cost Index and in the rounding, some of the figures stay the same and some go up a
marginal amount (i,e., $1.00/sq. ft. or unit for single family/hotel/motel rooms). Based on the
implementation ordinance, these were originally established by the City Council at the time the
implementation ordinance was adopted. The ordinance sets forth the annual resolution and that is the
way the fees are adopted.
10
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE t996
City Attorney, Jack White. The increases being discussed are non-discretionary increases. He feels it is
fair to say there are no discretionary increases in the fee structure. The increases are those that are
mandated by the previous ordinance adopted by the Council that provides that fees as previously
established shall be increased annually in accordance with increases in the Construction News Index. If
they are going to change the fees and want no increases, it would take a change in the ordinance.
Further, this set of fees along with most or all the others are set up in a way sc that they are adopted by a
Resolution with the schedule attached laying out the fees. It is not to say it cannot be separated out. If
they are going to approve some and continue others, staff will have to come back with a new resolution
so the department will end up with two Resolutions for those fees which will entail additional staff work.
Additional questions were also posed by Council Members Zemel and Tait which were answered by
members of Public Works staff and also the Finance Director relative to proposed Resolutions under E,
F and G at the conclusion of which, Council Member Tait stated that he would like to continue the
development assessment fee portion of the proposed Resolution under Item E containing three minor
increases in fees.
MOTION. Council Member Tait moved to continue the development assessment fee portion of the
proposed resolution establishing fees to be charged by the Public Works Department. Mayor Daiy
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

ITEM J AND K: See staff report dated June 11, 1996 from Christopher Jarvi, Director, Community
Services Department recommending a proposed resolution establishing fees to be charged for
Recreation and Human Services programs and services commencing on September 1, 1996 (Item J).
See staff report dated June 1, 1996 from Christopher Jarvi, Director, Community Services Department
recommending amending Resolution 95R-106 establishing green fees and cart fees to be charged at the
H.G. 'Dad' Miller Golf Course and the Anaheim Hills Golf Course with revised fees to become effective
January 1, 1997.
Chds Jarvi, Director, Community Services Department. There are nearly 400 different fees in the
Recreation and Human Services area and roughly 111 are recommended for some type of increase.
The majority of the 111 are the typos of fees that are cost off-set where they offer contract typo classes
and have to recover the cost. There is no cost to the General Fund for these types of programs.
Mr. Jarvi and Terry Lowe, Recreation/Community Services Superintendent then responded to questions
posed by Council Members Zemel and Feldhaus.
Council Member Zemel offered Resolution No. 96R-99 for adoption.

CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 1996
The Mayor declared Resolution No. 96R-100 duly passed and adopted.
Council Member Zemel. He suggests that they follow last year's Council policy that the increase in fees
at the Anaheim Hills Coume be earmarked and set aside for the community center and Clubhouse that
eventually is to be built there. He believes they did the same last year after a lengthy discussion.
Council Member Feldhaus. Twice they have discussed the feasibility and he has been assured that new
fees would include a discount for Anaheim residents. He does not see that mentioned anyplace.
Chds Jarvi. The concept of providing a lower resident fee has been discussed by the Council. Staff
cun-ently does not believe in that concept overall. If Council wishes, staff can bdng back a proposal.
They have been tasked to mn the golf courses in a business-like fashion and typically such rates are not
a pert of the plan. He clarified for the Mayor that in the history of running the courses, there has never
been a resident discount fete but that the senior discount rate has been in place "forever.'
Council Member Tait. He agrees with Council Member Feldhaus on a two-tiered fee. He does not
believe the subject of resident-non-resident fees has come before the present Council and believes it is
something they should look at. He would like a report back within three weeks; Council Member Zemel
was supportive as well.
MOTION. Council Member Zemel moved that the increases as indicated at Anaheim Hills Golf Couree
only be dedicated towards the funding for the community center and golf couree clubhouse. Mayor Daly
seconded the motion for purposes of discussion.
Mayor Daly stated he does not want to tie the hands of staff. He asked staff if there was any necessity or
benefit by linking the increase where every penny will go into the fund.
City Manager Ruth. That issue was discussed within the last couple of weeks and staff will be coming
back. in 30 days to present a conceptual plan and a funding mechanism. It would be very difficult to track
but if that is Council's intent, it can be done. He feels at this time it is staffs responsibility to come back
to the Council with a financing plan to get the community center and clubhouse developed.
Council Member Zemel. It is a holding fund and he does not see the harm in it. If they find 100%
funding, it will not be needed. It was a decision they made last year and he was just following through.
Council Member Lopez. He believes staff got the message from the Council that they want the center
built. He does not believe they need to set the money aside. They are committed to the canter so he
does not see any reason to earmark funds. He will not support the motion. Staff knows what they want
and will find the funding source.
Mayor Daly. He agrees. He supported it last year simply to indicate that they did want to set aside funds
for the project. That was before the project had gone through its design. He takes the motion as a good
faith gesture but does not think it is necessary at this time. Staff will be returning soon with a financing
recommendation. When he heard staff say it might include diminishing the amount of transfer to the
General Fund, which is a major policy implication, it may affect other programs. It is unwise to designate
all of the green fee increase toward the new clubhouse project until they see the fuller recommendation
from staff.
Council Member Tait. He feels the prudent thing to do would be to wait for the 30 days and see what
staff brings forward. The message is strong that they want to have the clubhouse built. It is premature to
earmark the money at this point in the budget process.

After additional discussion with staff, a vote was taken on the motion by Council Member Zemel and
failed to camj by the following vote: Ayes: Zemel No: Tait, Feldhaus, Lopez, Daly.
ITEM L: See report dated June 11, 1996 from Chds Jarvi, Director, Community Services Department
recommending approval of the adjustment of fees for the Public Library Facilities Plan for the East Santa
Ana Canyon area.
140: RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF THE FEE FOR THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES
FACILITIES PLAN FOR THE EAST SANTA ANA CANYON AREA.
Audrey Lujan, Administrative Services Manager, Public Library. There are three components integrated
into the formula - The Engineering News Record for one, the Consumer Index, and the Publisher's
Weekly for the cost of library materials. Percentages are worked into the original cost estimate of the
building from the amhitect. The biggest increase is the cost of library materials which have skyrocketed.
It is based on real cost, i.e., 22% on hard bound materials. Answering the Mayor, she explained the
original cost was based on 1988 figures at approximately $2 million for a 10,000 square foot facility with
a 150 square foot community room.
Council Member Zemel. He asked if they thought about adjusting the 1988 plans so they do not have to
hit up any potential developers. There is another way of looking at it - maybe a 10,000 sq. ft. facility is
not needed. Since development has not occurred, perhaps they could build in proportion to the
development in the area; Audrey Lujan. The original projections were based on full buildout of the area.
They cannot even begin expending the funds until they reach 15,000.
Council Member Tait. He is prepared to pass the resolution without the 5% increase; City Attorney
White. He advised it would be best in that case to continue the entire resolution,
MOTION. Council Member Tait moved to continue the proposed resolution adjusting the amount of the
fee for the Public Libraries Facilities Plan for the East Santa Ana Canyon area for one week. Mayor Daly
seccnded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
ITEM M: See staff report dated June 11, 1996 from Chris Jarvi, Director, Community Services

CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 1996
ITEM P. See staff report dated May 31, 1996 recommending approval of a revised schedule of fees for
solid waste collection and disposal, waste water collection, and disposal and street-cleaning services.
Answering Council questions, Gary Johnson, Public Works, explained relative to the proposed 1.3 and
1.4% increases in street-cleaning fees include labor rate increases since bargaining unit employees drive
the street sweepers. There are also two transfer stations where they dump what they sweep and then
have to transfer and haul it to the landfill. There are also environmental regulation requirements, and just
normal increases for materials, fuel, etc. The increase is slightly over 1%.
Council Member Tait. He is also going to request a continuance on this item on the increases only; Gary
Johnson. He would prefer to bdng the whole thing back because when implemented through the billing
system, it would be more difficult to separate the two.
Mayor Daly asked if the start of the billing date was tied to the resolution; Gary Johnson answered yes.
The resolution as written provides it will be effective July 1, 1996.
Council Member Tait asked for confirmation that overall there is a decrease and, if so, what that
amounted to; Gary Johnson. He confirmed that there is a decrease overall and it is about 70 cents per
month for residential, single and multi-family and about $5.00 for commercial.
Council Member Tait withdrew what was going to be his motion to continue the matter.
Council Member Daly offered Resolution No. 96R-105 for adoption.

going to be broadcest.
Mike Bell, Assistant General Manager, Finance & Administration, Public Utilities. He clarified that
Utilities does have the ability to disemminate the message via the Utility bill.
FINAL ACTIONS AND ADOPTION OF THE 1996/97 CITY BUDGET:
Mayor Daly. There is a unanimous recommendation from the Budget Advisory Commission (BAC) in
favor of the proposed budget, He has a few items as follow-up activities, some of which have already
been mentioned during the hearings. One is the time-table for the development of the new park adjacent
to Betsy Ross School. Also in the past, they discussed in public and have done so over the years,
changes to the layout of the Council Chamber so that members of the public can see the faces of City
staff. He is not asking for a decision this evening, but some additional staff comment and
recommendation back to the Council in the coming weeks -- costs and alternatives.
16
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE t996
Council Member Tait. The City has done some very aggressive things, one being graffiti removal.
Graffiti is down 77% from last year, and 44% from the year before. It is approaching the zero tolerance
point and he commends staff. Crime is also down dramatically, one aspect being there were 14 gang
homicides last year and this year thus far, zero. The Fire Service has brought about a tremendous cost
savings in the regionalization of dispatch services. The good things need to be pointed out and once
again he commends staff for those very positive accomplishments.
MOTION. Mayor Daly moved to approve/adopt the 1996/97 City Budget including the throe
modifications as articulated by the City Manager. Council Member Lopez seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Council Member Zemel stated, unfortunately, he is not going to be able to
support the recommendation to adopt the 1996/97 Budget. He believes that the realities of the recent
Stadium transaction with regard to ongoing expenses continuing in light of the shutting off of revenues
from the Stadium on October 1, 1996, have not been addressed adequately. Additionally, he is
disappointed that the budget ignores the Council's desiro and direction to add more Police Officers. The
budget adds five, but he does not believe that is the number any of them talked about at the beginning of
the year before the transaction on the Stadium. He feels they ought to continue the trend of fighting
crime and providing proper services to the citizens. He does not believe the goals and objectives of the
Council set forth at the beginning of the year have been met. He will be opposing the adoption of this
budget for those reasons.
Mayor Daly. He will strongly disagree with both points made in terms of the budget. Council Member
Zemel mentioned only a couple of points and to vote against the entire budget is unfortunate. The
Stadium transition reflects a long-term benefit to the City in terms of dramatically lowering th City's
overhead and mclucing the risk to the taxpayers in the operation of the Stadium. The many other
aspects have been discussed in the past. To single that out and not support the upcoming year's budget
is unfortunate and he strongly disagrees with that logic.
In terms of Police staffing, they have again approved an increase in staffing of sworn officers. It is the
5th year in a row they have added officers. The Police Department is doing a magnificent job with the
additional staff. Clearly, the Police budget has been raised substantially and does reflect the priorities of
the City Council as communicated by the citizens, it is an excellent budget package which reflects
reduced overhead, a dramatic expansion of important Public Works programs, a decroase in trash rates,
etc. Staff continues to look for opportunities to lower costs and overhead and to provide quality services.
He will match Anaheim services and programs with most cities in California. in many of the City's
programs and departments, Anaheim is the best or among the best across the board in California. It
would be difficult to find the consistent quality across the departments that Anaheim has. The budget
proposed by the City Manager will continue to keep the departments strong and services provided in a
quality way.
Council Member Zeme[. He will not lose sight of the effort to put more Police Officers on the street until
they can send their children to the park and not worry.
Council Member L0bez. Jim Ruth and his staff have done an excellent job. The Police Department has
also done an excellent job. To say that the parks are not safe, he strongly disagrees. He and his family
always come to downtown Anaheim as do Council Member Feldhaus and the Mayor. The entire City is
safe because the Police are doing a great job. Some other cities cannot say the same. Staff has
balanced the budget with no cut in services, five officers have been added and next year it may be five
or ten. They are doing the job they were elected to do to keep the City safe. It concerns him when a
Council Member expresses fear of taking his kids to the park. Downtown Anaheim, as is the rest of the
City, is a safe place to live.
17
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 11,199
Council Member Feldhaus. He also campaigned on adding more Police Officers and making the
community safe with a good quality of life. He is still working on those things. They went through a very
significant recessionary period for five years, but in spite of that, have added 22 officers plus another
nine and now another five since he has been on the Council. The City is doing an excellent job in
allocating funds and in addressing the Police problem. Prior to when Council Member Zemel was
elected, they had given direction to the City Manager that they wanted 50 now Police Officers as soon as
it was possible to get them. They are now at 36 and he believes the results are evident when Part I
crimes ara down 15.7% and overall, 21%. They ara moving along and the whole City is moving in a
positive diraction and at the same time, the clime statistics are going down. Maybe it's not fast enough
he would like to see it faster as well- but they also have to be realistic. There is about a $7.5 million
proposed increase in revenues this year as a result of their performance last year. He is sure those
monies ara being allocated to the very things Council Member Zemel is concerned with. He supports the
budget as proposed.
Council Member Tait. He feels this budget, although not perfect, is moving in the right direction. There
are a lot of costs associated with the Stadium deal. There are some items as far as increases that he
has a problem with. He believes it is important to move forward. They ara getting a balanced budget.
The last couple of years there was a drop in reserves and they ara not doing that this year. It is a step in
the right direction. He is going to support the budget.
Mayor Daly. Another follow-up item, he would like a staff analysis of a suggestion made by a citizen
during budget hearings namely that they addrass funding for the Pearson Park Ampitheater on a multi-
year basis. The point was made that it is difficult to plan ahead for programs without advance planning.
He would like a staff raport back with an analysis and alternatives for multi-year funding for the Pearson
Park Theater. He would also like a staff raport on ideas and suggestions on how to expedite some of the
projects on the Underground Utility Program - is there some financing available or some possibilities of
moving some of these projects along faster. He would like, if possible, to gain six months or a year on
those projects.
VOTE ON MOTION ON CITY BUDGET: A vote was then taken on the motion made by Mayor Daly,
seconded by Council Member Lopez, to approve/adopt the 1996/97 City Budget including the three
modifications as articulated by the City Manager. AYES: TAIT, FELDHAUS, LOPEZ, DALY NO:
ZEMEL.
City Clerk Sohl. It would be appropriate at this time to consider the items under A21. listed on page 8 of
today's Council Meeting agenda.
ITEM A21. See staff report dated June 11, 1996 from David Hill, Human Resources Diractor
racommending the creation of four new classifications. Three positions result in an annual increased
cost of $5,730 (salary plus burden). One change reprasents a decraase of about $2,260 annually.
Answering the Mayor, David Hill, Human Resources Director, explained on the Council Administrative
Assistant, it is recommended that the job class have a pay rate 5% higher than other Administrative
Assistant positions throughout the City organization. Staff believes the responsibility of the Council
Administrative Assistant warrants a slightly higher rate and it is recommended at 5%.
Mayor Daly. He believes it is warranted since the Council Assistant reports to five people rather than
one.
Council Member Zemel. The total impact of $5,700 does not appear to be large; however, it is not just
about the Council Administrative Assistant but four positions.

Joel Fick, Planning Director. The Administrative Adjustment Program is an expedited program inserted
in the Code a few yearn ago. When them is a minor change, no headng is held, but the neighbom are
notified. If there are no objections, it is automatically approved without a headng. In this instance, there
were objections so the Zoning Administrator had no choice but to not approve the request. If the
property owner wants to proceed, the headng process is available.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. Applicants am permitted a maximum 10% deviance from code.
Typically, it is a very small waiver, If he wished, the applicant would have to file and request that a
Public Hearing be scheduled. She does not believe he is going to do so in this instance since the
opposition she received was very strongly worded.
