Mayor Daly noted that the staff report laid out a cost differential between the 250 and
350-seat capacity and there was a $500,000 difference. The Council had been provided
a pro forma business plan for the operation of the expanded clubhouse and the banquet
space and he asked the Council to consider not accepting the recommendation for the
350-seat facility due to the additional cost because it would premature to make the
decision until after the mid-year budget report from the City Manager. He said that a
financing plan was needed.
Community Services Director Chris Jarvi said that the clubhouse would be paid for out of
golf revenues and future clubhouse revenues and there would still be a surplus in
addition to that.
Mayor Daly asked if any of the proceeds from the golf course maintenance privatization
effort would be used for the clubhouse project and Community Services Director Jarvi
responded that the project could be done without using those funds.
Mayor Daly asked for more time to go over the pro forma with staff and noted that the
additional $500,000 could be spent on a variety of other projects. He asked for a two-
week continuance.
Council Member Tait was in support of Mayor Daly's request for continuance and he
believed that the clubhouse was not warranted and that there were other pressing needs
in the City. He said he would be voting no in two weeks.

OFF-CONSENT CALENDAR:
150 A24. Discussion of John Marshall Park parking lot.
Mayor Daly noted that a staff report dated December 7, 2000, from the Community
Services Department, summarized the back round of John Marshall Park. He noted that
Council Member Feldhaus had a positive solution to the situation.
Ann Brown, 1158 N. Voyager Lane, Vice President of the Anaheim Shores Association,
asked the Council to reconsider the decision to put in a parking lot. She had
photographs taken on a Wednesday that shows that there was plenty of parking. She
also submitted a photograph that showed the area opposite the parking area that could
be looked at as an alternative for parking spaces.
A resident said that she and the City Manager worked very hard to get that park there
and she was of the opinion that it was just a matter of rescheduling baseball games
because the street cleaner.
Jackie Terryll, 1307 N. Jasmine Place, Anaheim, said that she had been in the area
since 1956 and since the development of Anaheim Shores and the Wellington, and she
was very opposed to the parking lot.
James Banty, 1846 Falmouth, in the Wellington Landing community, said that he was for
the parking, but believed that the place for the parking was not the correct place and a
better place for parking should be found.
Joe Carter, 1945 Bayshore Drive, Anaheim Shores, said that the park was a great multi-
purpose area, but that there should still be places provided for people to park. He asked
if the Anaheim City School District would allow people to park in their parking lot on the
weekends. He requested that a thorough study for parking be done so that it would not
be necessary to destroy the park area into a parking lot.

Charles Wilson, 1237 East Bell, Anaheim, played softball at the park and his observation
was that the activity in the park was Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00 A.M.
to 4:00 P.M. He asked to get parking there, at least for those three days.
Barney Conway, 1310 Antiqua Place, Anaheim, said that cars were double-parked
constantly. He said that he drove by the park many times each week and there was
hardly anyone there.
Baseball Player, said that playing baseball had given exercise and camaraderie and he
was in support of the parking lot.
Diane Dobson, 1272 N. Lighthouse Lane, Anaheim, said that she had taken the pictures
at 11 :00 a.m. on a Wednesday and there were full games going on at both diamonds
and there were nine empty parking spaces. She suggested to go towards La Palma in
the flat area with only one tree to be removed, and it was closer to the restrooms. She
was in opposition to the parking lot in the other area.
Glen Rogers, a resident of Chino Hills, played ball at John Marshall Park for the last six
years, was in favor of additional parking there.
Council Member Feldhaus pointed out that each team that played there on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays, paid monies for the park and for their umpires. He had
spoken to the Traffic and Transportation Manager that a feasible solution would be to
extend the current park around behind the backstop and over to the south west area
where there was now a restroom and there was a proposed restroom facility farther over
behind the school park and the basketball court could be moved over there. The access
could be taken, according to the Traffic Manager, right in and right out of the park off of
La Palma. The Traffic Manager did not concur with placing parking on La Palma
Avenue, he said, due to the 40-MPH speed limit and the parking in and out created a
traffic hazard. He said that La Palma was scheduled for expansion of another lane
because it was a main arterial in the Traffic Management Plan. Falmouth was a problem
for parking and it was pointed out that there may have been teachers parking there, he
said. After reviewing the aerial view, Council Member Feldhaus said that the spaces
could come around behind the parking where the currently configured restroom would be
taken down anyway and the basketball court could be moved further west over to where
the dividing line was at the rear school parking lot. There would be a right-turn out off of
La Palma and then the current proposal to eliminate the U-turn on Falmouth and place a
left-turn lane there for access.
Community Services Director Chris Jarvi commented that Council Member Feldhaus'
suggestion was a possibility and they would evaluate it and report back to the Council.
The contract with Zarif Construction was not moving forward and there were already
penalties against the City. In any case, he said, they would have to develop a new set of
plans and it would incur approximately another $10,000 for plans. There was no
proposal to move the restroom at all they had intended to leave the existing restroom
and recreation check out building since it did not need replacement. Community
Services had discussed building an additional restroom closer to the soccer field.
Council Member Feldhaus moved to direct staff to evaluate his suggestion and report
back to Council, seconded by Mayor Daly. Motion carried unanimously.

A29. Briefing on reliability of power and power supply requested by Council Member
Tait and Mayor Daly at the December 19, 2000, meeting.
Public Utilities General Manager Marcie Edwards presented a briefing to the Council.
She commented that the Anaheim utility overall, was very different, and from a municipal
perspective, Anaheim's rates were not going up, but via a recent Council action, the
rates were going down three percent. The asset portfolio on which the rates were
based, continued to be owned by the utility and since the utility owned it, they were able
to manage the price implications associated with the fuel and not be dependent upon the
external market. The investor owned utilities sold off their generation, then were
exposed to the vagaries and fluctuations of the real time market. The investor owned
utilities had all the risk management tools to be used, but they were all taken away to
provide price transparency. The investor owned utilities had to sell everything into one
particular market, and buy everything out. She said that as a result, that market shot

straight up. She said that there had been some adjustments to that recently. The
Federal Government put into place some orders where the investor owned utilities
(Edison and PG&E) could now purchase long-term contracts and were encouraged to
cover more of their demands on a longer term basis, 95%. She said that there was no
longer had a market where they had to take the highest bid price, had changed. The
main difference why Anaheim remained insulated in terms of what they were paying,
was that the City was managing our own generation resources and continued to have an
equity share. The City's rates were now between nineteen and thirty percent lower than
the surrounding communities and it was projected to stay that way, she said.
She noted that Public Utilities would be starting an aggressive communication campaign
targeted at the residential sector and there would also be events and information
planned for commercial/industrial as well. A letter would be sent out from the Public
Utilities General Manager outlining some of the differences as to why the City's rates
would stay low. She had a series of informational meetings planned for the community
where they could ask individual questions, and there would be videos and bill insert
information about the low rates in the City.
The Public Utilities General Manager commented on the Governor's State of the State
address and the Washington based energy summit where the President was
participating as well as Chairman Hecor, head of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and members of the California Public Utilities Commission, and the investor
owned utilities. She noted that a majority of the sales were already within the California
portfolio, and the City had been supportive of the State with the City's excess. She said
that as soon as she was de-briefed on the Washington summit, she would provide a
memorandum to the City Manager and Council outlining what the basic agreements
were and what the potential implications would be to the City.
Mayor Daly asked about the Governor's comment on the new structures or programs he
was proposing and said that he would need agreements from all 30 municipal utilities.
Utilities General Manager Edwards said that there had been a proposal, presented by
the municipal sector to the Governor in advance of the State of the State address. The
City recommended that either the municipal's band together with the government, or the
government create a separate State agency that was based on the same non-profit
characteristics that were in the public sector to be able to take over all or parts of the
generation sector.
Mayor Daly asked if the City had broached the provision of power and services to any of
Anaheim's neighboring cities. Utilities General Manager Edwards responded that the
City sold to existing municipalities when the opportunity presented itself. The cities
served by Edison, the issue would be the terms of their franchise.
