District wished to make a significant presence and contribution to the City and negotiations were
completed to purchase the former Martin Luther Hospital site. He informed that the site had
been vacant since last November and would become a higher education complex. The college
would offer Fullerton and Cypress College credits, vocational programs, and continuing
education, he said, and the facility was scheduled to be open for operation in August 2002.

James Robert Reade, 100 West Midway Drive, Space 124, read a letter he wrote to Angela
Glover Blackwell. He believed that the cultural vibrancy of Anaheim was at stake because the
low-income and minority races were being "ordinanced" out of the City. He disagreed with
City's parking permits.
Paula Schlue, 9047 Grand Circle, Cypress, spoke on the proposed ordinance relating to
message establishments. She said she was a nationally certified massage therapist and
business owner and was in support of the proposed ordinance regarding massage therapy.
She noted that the length of time being proposed to grandfather in a licensed therapist was not
enough for one year because the average cost of 400 hours of more training was $4,000 and
would take an average of ten months to complete. She requested that there be a waiver for
those who were presently nationally certified. With regard to the tests, she asked if there would
be guidelines given to the therapists; what percentage of each individual category would appear
on the test; how many questions would be on the test, what was the fee to take the test and
when would the test results be released. She said that she was unclear if an unlicensed
individual was able to work under a chiropractor during the application process.
Philip Hummel, represented the Roman Spa at 130 North Brookhurst Street, said that his clients
had been running their business in the City for thirty-five years. He was concerned about the
responsible employee versus independent contractors, which had issues that could result in
misdemeanor charges against workers. He said that an extra 400 hours in one year could
effect the people that were the breadwinners in their family, not to mention the significant cost.
He stated that although more training may be advisable, he requested that Council give a longer
period of time similar to the City of San Diego, which gave four years. He noted that exam costs
were high and asked how often the testing was done. He asked if the test would be fair and
asked who would be putting test together. He concluded by asking if the ten hours per year of
training would be continuous training and if extra time would be provided to people with English
as a second language.
Judithanne Gollette, speaking on behalf of the West Anaheim Neighborhood Development
group, said that they felt that the increased hours of protection and education were needed.
She compared the 100 hours message therapists needed to the 1600 hours required for a
beautician. She said that the WAND group was seeking a good balance with educated people
to be message therapists.
Gwen Ard, 1730 South Euclid Street, said that she believed it was overkill to have the license
hanging in addition to having the employees wear a pictured badge. She agreed with the permit
but not with having the permits hanging in the front and she said that they should be able to
place it in the lobby.
Jaime Martinez, Azusa, California, commented on the Anaheim Police Department.
MOTION: Mayor Daly moved to waive reading in full of all ordinances and resolutions,
seconded by Council Member McCracken. Motion carried unanimously.
City Manager Ruth noted that there were no additions or deletions to the agenda.
CITY MANAGER/DEPARTMENTAL CONSENT CALENDAR A1 - A28: On motion by Mayor
Daly, seconded by Council Member McCracken, the following items were approved in
accordance with the reports, certifications and recommendations furnished each Council
Member and as listed on the Consent Calendar. Mayor Daly offered Resolutions Nos. 2001 R-

A17. Approve and execute an Agreement between the City and the Anaheim Union High
School District for the period of June 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001 to facilitate
Summer Sports Camps.
Council Member McCracken expressed her support of the summer sports camp, particularly
with the High School District. She asked if the schools' swimming pools would be used and if
they were part of the summer sports program. She noted that there was a shortage of school
pools across the City and asked if there was something that could be done to facilitate some
opportunities for young people, especially during the hot summer where the use of air
conditioning would have to be reduced.
Director of Community Services, Chris Jarvi, responded that swimming pools were not used as
part of the sports camp. He said that gyms and sports fields were used and two of the City's
pools were used for teaching recreation programs and recreational swim. He said that they
were limited by the amount of money they had to keep the pools open, in addition to the
availability of guards, which was a nationwide problem.
A 18. Approve the telecommunications license agreement between the City and XO California,
Inc., granting the right of entry onto the Convention Center for provision of
telecommunications service to Smart City Networks for telecommunication and Internet
provisioning.
A 19. Approve Amendment NO.1 to the Professional Services Agreement between the City
and White Oak Associates, for a two-year period, in an amount not to exceed $100,000
for development of an interim and long-term museum strategy.
Council Member Tait said he believed there were other pressing needs in the City that he would
prefer to spend a $100,000 on something other than a museum strategy, even though he was in
support of museums. He believed that the money could be used to bring in exhibits or develop
programs instead of paying for a strategy and he moved to deny the item.
Mayor Daly asked about the proposed contract, which was to result in a museum strategy, and
noted that the first phase was completed already. He asked what was produced in the first
phase and what type of useful product was produced to date.

Elisa Stipkovich, Community Development Director responded to Mayor Daly that the first stage
was a $25,000 contract which was used for the staff that came out to look at various venues.
She said that they had hoped to get a proposal that tied together the present venues, programs
and availability of various collections, in addition to coming up with a program and to partially
implement the program. Director Stipkovich noted that the contract was not for how to build a
new museum but how to take the Carnegie Library and The Packing House and be able to go to
the next step which would be to prepare a report and return with an implementation plan. She
added that the contract was funded through Redevelopment. She informed the Council that the
consultant had examined all the facilities and looked at corrections. Director Stipkovich
submitted to Council supplemental information with background information regarding what had
been completed and what the problems were in pulling the pieces together.
Council Member Kring noted that the contract was not to exceed $100,000 for a two-year
period. She confirmed that $25,000 was already spent, leaving $75,000 over the next two years
and it was her understanding that this was an amendment to the current agreement adding
$75,000. The Community Development Director said that the amendment was making it
$100,000 as the $25,000 had already been spent under a service contract executed by the City
Manager.
Mayor Daly asked when the two-year period would start and Director Stipkovich responded
that they were already three months into the contract, which started March, 2001. Mayor Daly
asked if a presentation would be given to Council on the proposed museum strategy. Director
Stipkovich responded that a presentation would not be made and said that a report would be
prepared next. She informed Council that the consultant would be coming to the City on May
29th, and she would set up meetings with Council to get a briefing from the consultant. She
said that the consultant would prepare a final report in a couple of weeks after the last visit and
would start to help implement the program.
In response to Council Member Kring, Director Stipkovich confirmed that the contract could be
terminated at any time should the Council not wish to proceed with the recommended work at
which time the next step would be taken. Ms. Stipkovich stated once the report was prepared, it
would be submitted to Council for concurrence of the recommendations made and if approved,
the additional implementation would be begin. The contract was based on the direction of the
Council, she said.
Mayor Daly asked when the proposed strategy would be completed and presented to Council
and Director Stipkovich said she believed that the consultant was almost finished. She noted
that the consultant was returning to look at space at the Hilton Hotel and that the report should
be completed by mid-June. She added that the report should layout a strategy of what to do
with the various venues and collections which were the data gathering part of the contract.
Mayor Daly asked if the scope identified potential museum sites beyond existing City facilities,
such as the Anaheim Museum Building, City-owned buildings on Anaheim Boulevard and
beyond the Hilton and Director Stipkovich responded that the plan was a more immediate plan
and looked at where the City was currently and she believed that the best thing to do now was
to get an interim plan. The consultant was not looking at sites for a big museum project, she
noted, he was looking at taking the existing venues, collections, and products that the City had
and provide a solution and plan of how to pull it together and have a program that works to
coordinate and identify this with a cultural area. She said that the consultant may talk a little bit
in general on a long range plan but would not specifically spend time on a museum site since it
was not the City's intent.

Mayor Daly said that the City had offered collections with strings attached, such as classic cars,
antique cars, and art from time to time. He asked if there was anything in the strategy that
would anticipate such offers. Community Development Director Stipkovich informed Council
that it would be in the scope of work and she said that the consultant had already looked at
collections and would be making a recommendation on the ones he seen and any other in the
future.
Mayor Daly asked if the Orange County Sport Hall of Fame at Edison Field was part of the
subject survey and Director Stipkovich stated that it would be and the consultant had already
visited the location. The questioned pieces would be used to help the City understand what
could best be done and what he would recommend in terms of long term and current
recommendations and how the City could use the different collections.
Mayor Daly commented that he was interested in making sure that the City was getting a useful
product. He said that the Anaheim Museum was on solid ground and that the City and City
Manager went the extra mile to help the Museum establish themselves and bring in good
exhibits, thus setting the stage for an expansion of museum and cultural facilities. Mayor Daly
wanted to understand the product that could be anticipated from the $100,000 effort.
Community Development Director Stipkovich stated that a very good product would be received
based upon current reality and what the consultant's recommendations would be on most of the
issues that the City was dealing with, such as the various venues, collections that the City
controlled. Director Stipkovich reiterated that she would like the Council to meet with the
consultant regarding options before the report is finalized.
Council Member Tait commented that he still could not see the value or worth of $100,000 to
put together a document or strategy. Additionally, he said, the present museums were run on a
very tight budget and were always trying to get funding. He believed that $100,000 could go a
long way to help the museums directly rather then spending the money for a report and he
added that there were many other pressing needs in the City that he would prefer to spend the
money on before giving the money to pay for a museum consultant strategy.
Council Member Kring asked if there would be a lot more money expended after the award of
the $100,000 for this project and if the consultant was going to come back and inform the City
that they would need to spend a half-million dollars to do something else. She also questioned
whether he would try to make it a private situation where the private partnership could come in
and offer to take over the museum. She said that there were a lot of private museums in the
City, such as the car museum and a private person could contribute to the City without the
strings.
Director Stipkovich did not anticipate that the City would be spending more money on the
consultant's services since they were hoping that the product would get the City to the
implementation stage. She noted that the City was looking for the consultant to give direction
and assistance on how to make something happen whether it is through the private sector or
something that City or museum could do. She noted venues, such as the Packing House,
where the City was trying to understand what the best use was and how the uses would work.
She did not see this as leading to a bigger contract but it may lead to some specific
recommendations that the City may want to consider. She believed that the project should give
the City good direction and she expected to get some implementation out of it. She stated that
there was a staff member in the White Oak group that had worked with the Smithsonian and
was somebody that she thought could help the City with the local museum curator and help
package some of the Smithsonian traveling exhibits and things of that nature.

City Manager Ruth addressed Council Member Kring and stated that a comprehensive plan for
the museum program would put the City in a much better position to solicit grants and private
funding to support that effort than it would without the plan and particularly with a firm that was
recognized as widely as White Oak.
Mayor Daly shared Council Member Tail's concern regarding the financial aspects of the project
and said he believed that the City should take advantage of future opportunities, private
donations and grant opportunities and have a strategy that the City would be able to share with
the outside world. He felt that there was a prominent museum that had come and gone in
Anaheim approximately fifteen years ago and therefore, he said, the City should be positioned
to capture future opportunities either entirely privately funded or mostly privately funded. He
noted that staff believed that the consultant was equipped to do this for the City and Mayor Daly
said he was in support of the recommendation and would be looking forward to a useful product.
Roll call vote on Council Member Tail's motion to deny Item A19, which was seconded by
Council Member Kring: Ayes - 1, Council Member Tait. Noes - 4; Mayor Daly and Council
Members McCracken, Feldhaus, and Kring. Motion failed.

A21. Approve a budget adjustment to increase General Fund appropriations by $25,000 for
Fiscal Year 2000/01 to accommodate the City's obligation to compensate the Chamber
of Commerce and approve and authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment NO.1 to the
Service Agreement between the City and Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. (Continued
from May 1, 2001, Item A6).
Mayor Daly asked if either party on 30-days notice could terminate the contract. He noted that
this could be considered to be in the realm of the City's economic development activities.
Before the upcoming budget discussions in June, he asked the City Manager to summarize for
Council all the various economic development activities that the City had in one place and to
total up all the expenditures, including this one. He said he knew that the City had an economic
development program within the Community Development Department and noted that the City
had other efforts such as this one and certain aspects of economic development contained in
the Public Utilities Department budget. He asked that the Council see all of those in one place.
City Manager Ruth stated that the information wouid be submitted to Council.
City Attorney White responded to Mayor Daly's question about the agreement. He said that
what was on the agenda was an amendment to the original agreement and the original
agreement contained the termination provision which provided that it may be terminated upon
30-days notice by the City. The City had the option to terminate at any time over the next
fourteen months, said City Attorney White.
City Manager Ruth added that staff regularly met with the Chamber to track progress on the
work activity. Any time that the City was dissatisfied with that, the agreement could be
terminated. The item on the agenda was to simply extend the current agreement for fourteen
months.

City Attorney White noted that Section 7.9 of the contract provided 15-days notice that it may be
terminated. It was 30 days upon a default and it was 15 days without cause.

A22. ORDINANCE NO. 5771 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM repealing Chapter 4.29 of, and adding new Chapter 4.29 to, Title 4 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code relating to massage establishments. (Introduced at the
meeting of May 8, 2001, Item A14).
Council Member Kring said she had received several phone calls regarding the proposed
ordinance and believed that Council should discuss the educational requirements. It was
Council Member Kring's understanding that if people were currently working in the City, they
would then be grandfathered in and would not have to take the extra 400 hours as long as they
passed the test.
City Attorney White confirmed that if someone presently had a permit, it would continue to be
valid for twelve months after the ordinance became effective. During said time, he said, one
had the choice of either obtaining the 500 hours of instruction from an approved massage
school or passing the written practical test, the massage technique and knowledge test. He
said that additionally, one needed to also pass a short test on the provisions of Chapter 4.29 of
the Anaheim Municipal Code so that one knew what their obligations were under the ordinance.
Council Member Kring asked if would there would be an opportunity for a person to re-take the
test in the event they did not passed the first time and City Attorney White responded that the
test would be re-given and that this was something that would be handled administratively. He
said that it would be given with regularity and if someone failed the test the first time, it could be
taken the next time the test was given. If the test was failed the second time, he informed, there
would be waiting period of six months to take the test a third time. City Attorney White
reiterated that many massage technicians already had 500 hours and the practical test need not
be taken because the criteria had already been met and they would need the ten hours every
year.
Council Member Kring asked if the national certification would be waived for those who were
already certified as a massage therapist. City Attorney White said that that was not one of the
waivers in the ordinance. He said that he did not know the requirements for national
certification, but if it required 500 hours from a recognized massage school then the
requirements for the ordinance had been met.
Council Member Kring noted that the test would be given by an independent person that many
of the surrounding jurisdictions currently used and City Attorney White explained that the
ordinance was written in a way that would allow the test to be given internally or to be
contracted out to an independent provider who was skilled and certified in administering
examination on massage.
Council Member Kring asked if a booklet would be available for those who wished to take the
test to enable them to study prior to the test date.
Police Investigator Allan Roman said that the Police Department had not yet put together a test
but they had looked at other tests used in surrounding cities. A booklet would be provided with
information on what to study and the general base knowledge of what massage technicians
learned in school. Investigator Roman said that while taking the test, there would be a police
officer and the test giver and it would take ten days to get the test back. He said it was based
on ten people taking the test.

In response to Council Member Kring, City Attorney White said that the first test was built in the
application fee. He said that the Council had not adopted the fees yet, but the recommended
fees would be $118.00 for an operator's permit, $105 for a technicians permit which would
include the first administration of the test. If the test was failed, taking it a second, third or fourth
time would be $49.00.
Investigator Roman responded to Council Member Kring and said people would be allowed to
take the test as frequently as possibie. He compared other cities; Newport Beach charged $422
for an operators permit versus Anaheim's $118; for a technicians permit, Newport Beach
charged $342 versus Anaheim's $105. He explained that the Director of the Southern California
School of Massage, who had been in the business for 20 years and had practiced both in taking
tests, developing tests and administering tests, was the expert and it had worked for
neighboring cities. According to the message ordinance, said Investigator Roman; they had to
wait for their results. He addressed the English as a second language issue relating to tests by
saying that the test was given in two languages which was developed by the person who would
be administering the test. One was in English and one was in Korean and if someone needed
the test translated, the translator must be a court appointed or City approved to assist with the
test.
In response to Council Member Kring, City Attorney White stated that the ordinance provided an
exemption from the permanent requirement for several different categories of practitioners. One
was a physical therapist, he said. Ms. Schlue presented information about a section in State
law and if the State law provided that a person was a physical therapist without obtaining a state
license or was working under the direct supervision of a doctor or chiropractor, then the City's
ordinance needed to be written in a way that complimented and did not contradict what State
law provided. he said. It depended upon the exact wording of what the State statute said. The
City Attorney addressed other issues posed by Council Member Kring. He said that if the police
needed to see the permits, they could then be provided and part of the reason to have them
posted was not only for the police but also for the public. It allowed the public to know that the
person massaging them did have a permit and was qualified to do so.
Mayor Daly believed that the ordinance had strong support from the affected neighborhoods.
A23. ORDINANCE NO. 5772 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
173 ANAHEIM amending various Sections of Chapter 4.72 of Title 4, and adding Section
1.03.070 to Chapter 1.03 of Title 1, of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to taxicabs.
(Introduced at the meeting of May 8, 2001, Item A 15).
Council Member Tait expressed his no vote on adoption of the ordinance.
In response to Council Member Kring, City Attorney White said that there was no change and
the first come, first serve basis was the way the permanent system currently worked. The only
change that was being proposed was to anticipate that there might be a rush of applications, he
said. If the Council ever in the future operated under the permit system and decided to open up
the applications, both of those things would have to occur. If Council did that, the City may
anticipate that there would be a rush of companies filing applications, he said, and if the City
had a first come, first serve provision, the concern would be that people would make sure they
would be the first one in line on the first day of the application period. To avoid that, the

A29. Encourage CalTrans to fund construction to complete a sound study between the SR-55
freeway and Lakeview Avenue to determine the effectiveness of acoustic treatment of
the south face of the existing north side soundwall and to compare the cost-
effectiveness with new soundwall construction along the south side of the SR-91
freeway (Requested by Mayor Daly at the Council meeting of May 8, 2001).
Mayor Daly explained he had received ongoing requests from residents in the Peralta Hills
section of Anaheim Hills for a sound wall on the south side of the 91 Freeway. He said that
there was an existing soundwall on the north side of the freeway through that section of
Anaheim Hills. The residents understood that this was the responsibility of CalTrans to install
soundwalls along State freeways, he said, such as the 91 Freeway. A staff report had been
prepared to summarize the background of the subject. Mayor Daly suggested that the City go
on record as having asked CalTrans to install a sound wall and that the City continue to make
this a priority in terms of the focus on the 91 corridor. Staff had given Council a list of proposed
improvements for the 91 corridor to consider if and when the State made any changes to the 91
Freeway through Anaheim Hills. On that list were items such as landscaping in certain sections,
soundwalls and other environmental mitigation at various places. He said he believed that the
site should be at the top of the list for future soundwalls. Mayor Daly said he thought that they
were in the awkward situation where CalTrans said the soundwall was needed on one hand but
that it did not meet the CalTrans cost effectiveness considerations. The expense of the
soundwall somehow did not mitigate the noise on the freeway for enough properties, he said.
Instead of getting in the middle of the CalTrans formula, he said, the City should go on record
requesting the soundwall and asking CaiTrans to figure out how to make it happen.
Furthermore, the Mayor said, the City should monitor any changes or improvements or proposal
for any part of the 91 Freeway and introduce the idea of the soundwall at every opportunity.

Council Member Tait said that this was a unique situation and he believed that CalTrans made
the situation worse when they built the Fast Track toll road and they built a soundwall on one
side of the freeway and not the other. The residents got a heightened sound effect from the
freeway as it bounced off the soundwall and doubled the sound up the canyon, he explained.
Because of that situation, he said it was unique and should jump outside of the normal CalTrans
criteria. He said that in the interest of fairness, CalTrans should listen to the people because
they had a dramatic effect on the environmental quality of life in the Peralta Hills area.
Mayor Daly asked that CalTrans install the soundwall because it was the right thing do and even
the noise readings from CalTrans said that it was needed. Mayor Daly asked that CalTrans
revisit the cost effectiveness criteria and look at it in terms of how many people were effected.
CalTrans had also said that only eighteen fronting residential units were effected and he noted
that he respectfully disagreed with them. He restated that CalTrans should review its own
calculations as to the cost effectiveness.
Council Member McCracken said that this had been an issue since CalTrans widened that
section of the 91 Freeway. It was not fair to the property owners in the City, she said, because
it was CalTrans construction of the soundwall on the opposite side of the freeway which seemed
to have created the increased noise to the point where one could not enjoy their yard or pool
because of the constant roar. She said that six out of seven readings were above what
CalTrans regulated and she believed that the City should be more proactive in requesting that
CalTrans look at the issue they created.
Mayor Daly commented that one of the benefits of focusing on that stretch of the 91 Freeway
was that the piece of land between the freeway and Santa Ana Canyon Road on the south side
was not very attractive and could use a fix-up. He said that perhaps the soundwall project could
be coordinated with beautification and tree planning as well. Additionally, he said, it would be a
good opportunity for the City to work with CalTrans to solve a problem that was not going to go
away. He believed that CalTrans had plans to try to add lanes to some portions of the 91
Freeway and to do other work in that area. Work was still ongoing on the 55 Freeway, just a
few hundred feet south of the area, he said.
Traffic and Transportation Manager, John Lower, suggested that the City Clerk transmit a
minute action to CalTrans, along with a letter.
Mayor Daly moved, seconded by Council Member McCracken, that the City go on record with a
transmittal letter to CalTrans and minutes of the May 15, 2001 Council meeting, asking the
State agency to install a soundwall along the stretch of the 91 Freeway following another look at
their own studies and analysis. Motion carried unanimously.
114 A30. Request to expedite new public facilities and improvements in west Anaheim (requested
by Mayor Daly).
Mayor Daly announced that annual budget discussions would be held June 5, 2001, June 12,
2001, and June 19, 2001. Mayor Daly directed the City Manager to bring to Council, information
on fast tracking some of the proposed public facilities and improvements that the City had
discussed for west Anaheim. The Council had presentations from staff on police station
facilities, the potential for a youth center adjacent to the police station, enhancements to the
library in west Anaheim, he said, and corridor beautification in west Anaheim. The City
Manager laid out some numbers for the Council which summarized the proposed capital project
.~~. ------y--,.
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 15, 2001
PAGE 13
in the budget that Council would consider for next year, he said. Mayor Daly noted that the City
Manager had also identified a potential means of fast tracking the improvements in west
Anaheim. Mayor Daly believed that beautification and other improvements in the west Anaheim
area were long overdue. Because the City had started to identify sites for some of the facilities,
such as the police station, he said he believed that the time was now to ask staff to bring more
details on a means of fast tracking improvements. Mayor Daly mentioned that it would involve
some amount of borrowing.
Council Member McCracken said that when the Resort area was done, the City had a plan and
addressed the sewers and the water. She said it was not the most attractive thing to fix first and
voiced concern about the sewer and water pipes that were in need of repair before the City
would start putting newer buildings and newer housing tracks in some areas, particularly in the
western part of the City. She said she was concerned that the entire sewer system may have
had some failures along the line. She said that there would be huge fines if the City had sewer
failure. She believed that it should be the first in any kind of plan, even though she believed that
it would be hard to sell to the community.
Mayor Daly asked staff to bring Council financing plans to move some of the west Anaheim
projects along faster than scheduled particularly the west Anaheim Police Station, youth center,
library improvements and the corridor beautification along major arterial streets. He said that
the City Manager had laid out a draft document with options to do some short term borrowing or
to sell bonds to create a package of approximately $82.9 million. This would be community
wide and not just for west Anaheim, he said. He realized that this was a working document and
could be discussed more during the budget hearings. He asked that the City Manager put real
context and detail into the proposals and to also prepare schedules. In his discussions with the
City Manager, Mayor Daly noted that it seemed that the City was at a point in the budget where
it could not afford to expedite some of the improvements without jeopardizing other
improvements that were important. He acknowledged Council Member McCracken's comment
for sewer projects as being valid and commented that the Council did not want to be beautifying
parts of the City while sewers were backing up or not functioning. He said that these were
approximate numbers that were provided and funds were possibly available for these types of
projects. He asked the City Manager to comment.
City Manager Ruth said that this was a unique opportunity because this was the first year where
the City had additional money for capital improvements and general fund money. He said that
the City had been fortunate to have bond act money from the State on both libraries and parks
that had helped out. City Manager Ruth had looked at the need in west Anaheim, the input from
Council and the priorities identified which were the corridor, police substation, library and youth
center, and he looked at the resources. City Manager Ruth said that those facilities could be
developed but because of the revenue streams, it was going to take several years to
accomplish the objectives. He suggested a community development fund as an option for
Council consideration, if they would like to accelerate those programs. The community
development fund was from the resort revenues that were set aside. Council had set aside
three million dollars a year in that fund for City wide capital improvements. Council could take
the three million dollars, if they chose to do so, he said, and bond for it and probably get about
$37 million dollars out of it in a twenty-year bond to be paid off every twenty years. That money
would be available for the City to begin to accelerate the projects, paying for them and
committing the City that three million dollars a year for twenty-years. He said that this was just
one mechanism in which the City could proceed to accelerate the projects. He commented on
the enormous amount of community input from the west end of the City and in terms of capital
needs, he thought that there was a lot of consensus in terms of what the community wanted and
the direction of Council.

Mayor Daly asked that if the City Manager could find the money in the budget in the next twelve
months or twenty-four months. would there be projects such as Ball Road, Lincoln Avenue and
Magnolia Street ready to go and City Manager Ruth responded that staff had been working with
the Public Works Director to identify priorities in terms of which corridors would be priority and
which ones could get ready to go within a short period of time. He said that they would be
prepared to move forward rather rapidly in the event that Council approved the priority.
Mayor Daly asked the City Manager to bring Council a more aggressive scenario to the budget
hearings so that Council could look at the impacts of that scenario and look at the schedules for
the various projects, including the impacts of committing some of the future revenues if Council
decided to sell bonds. In looking at the proposed capital improvements for next year, Mayor
Daly said that it did not deliver enough for west Anaheim and that was why he was interested in
the enhancement package that the City Manager suggested.
City Manager Ruth responded to Mayor Daly and said that there was a $31 million dollar
difference and the bonding for $31 million was the difference.
Mayor Daly requested that the City Manager layout the exact projects that would be built under
Options 1 and 2, so the Council would know exactly what they could do for the $31 million bond
measure. He asked if the Council could consider this proposal along with all the other budget
proposals and vote on it in June.
Council Member Kring explained that she would like to include more money for gutters, curbs,
sidewalk repairs and tree trimming. She would like to have the $500,000 in the minimum
budget and the one million dollars in the expanded budget because these were the things
people saw when they come out of their door.
City Manager Ruth said that the more aggressive option, Option 2, included an extra $4 million
for curbs, gutters and sidewalks and it would take from $1 to $5million. The current budget was
$1 million and it would take it to $5 million if the accelerated option was chosen. He confirmed
that Option 1 would continue the current year funding level. Option 2 would be the $82 million
packet which included fast tracking the west Anaheim improvements and enhancing other levels
including curbs and gutters.
Mayor Daly and Council Member Feldhaus agreed with Council Member Kring that curbs,
gutters and sidewalks should be a high priority in the City. A million dollars a year, was
proposed to fund curbs and sidewalks, he said.
City Manager Ruth noted that there had been quite a backlog on curbs, gutters and sidewalks,
even though some had been knocked out the last two years because of the increase in funding
the Council had authorized. He said that he would bring the entire program back to Council and
show the backlog and let Council know what the funding source was.
Mayor Daly noted that Council would then expect a proposal during the budget hearings to add
to capital works and capital projects, public works budget for those west Anaheim projects.
Council would also like to see schedules for those projects.
City Manager directed to fast track publiC facilities and improvements and to bring back a
financial plan, Options 1 and 2, with the budget hearings in June.

Mayor Daly asked if the total signage would be one wall sign facing the west and the south and
the one monument sign facing the two sided monument sign.
Planning Director Fick pointed out that the conversion of the retail building to a restaurant would
also bring the use into compliance from a land use input with the Anaheim Resort's Specific
Plan. Therefore, he said, there were a lot of positives associated with the proposed change.
Council Member Feldhaus asked if it was safe to say that some leniency was given because of
the back-flow device as far as the set back and landscaping. Planning Director Fick responded
that the Code required utility equipment to be located behind the set back area and fully
screened. There were some really narrow sight constraints there and a six-foot setback. It
would be painted green and he believed that everything would fit well.
Mayor Daly commented that the project appeared to be a good reuse of the property.

AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
OWNER: White Star Business Park, 1020 North Batavia, #B, Orange, CA 92867
AGENT: Richard Johnson, 2821 East White Star Avenue, #D, Anaheim, CA 92806
LOCATION: 2821 East White Star Avenue. Property is 2.1 acres located at the

To permit a cooperative art museum, gallery and meeting hall with waiver of the

Richard Johnson, 2821 East White Star, Unit D, said that his conditional use permit was
recently denied by the Planning Commission. He believed that the cooperative art museum
would be an asset to the community and all of the neighbors had signed a petition saying that
. -"'_'''_0_'' ______~._~"'~__. '__'__~~._'_'_ __.__ ____..___~._..____~

they wanted the museum there. He requested Council grant the permit for two years until the
lease was up and then the museum would move. He again asked the Council to give this
project a special review as he felt that the City was lacking in independent art museums. He
stated that they were members of the Art Council and that they had a booth in the upcoming
children's fair.
Mayor Daly commented to Mr. Johnson that the proposed museum was in the middle of an
industrial neighborhood and Mr. Johnson responded that it was actually on the outskirts. It was
on the corner of the end of the industrial area, he said. The only thing between the museum
and La Palma was a big parking lot and the museum was directly across from the Anaheim
Disposal center.
Mayor Daly stated that the zoning in the general plan for the neighborhood that Mr. Johnson
had chosen for the museum was an industrial neighborhood. The Planning staff analysis and
recommendation on this was to encourage a location where museums fit better, such as
commercial locations and he asked if he had looked at other locations.
Mr. Johnson said that he had and he stated that he had called the City before he moved in and
signed the lease. He also called Business Licensing and they did not say anything about
Conditional Use Permits or problems. Business License had thought it would be fine, he said.
He said that he did not realize any of this until he had already moved in and it went to Planning.
Mayor Daly asked Mr. Johnson if he had spoken to Planning before selecting a location and Mr.
Johnson stated that he did not know he had to since he had talked to Business Licensing like he
did when he opened in Newport Beach. Mr. Johnson said that he had done this in Newport
Beach for three years and had never talked to Planning. He noted that there were no plans for
any modifications to the building, they just wanted to use the building and that they were just
renters.
Mayor Daly asked if he was still operating in Newport Beach and Mr. Johnson replied no, that
he had stopped operating in Newport Beach six months ago because the owners of the building
decided to sell their property to make it a parking lot for the airport. The neighbors were quite
happy when they moved in, he said, and they thought the museum was a great idea.
Mayor Daly asked how much space was needed for the museum and Mr. Johnson said that he
could afford a 1,200 square foot space. He said that they were a group of artists that had to pay
$35 per month each to have the space. He noted that they were independent and would not
effect outside at all since they were strictly inside.
Mayor Daly asked if Mr. Johnson had talked to Planning staff about other locations. Mr.
Johnson responded that all that Planning had told him was that it was a commercial area and he
said that the problem with commercial areas was that he also did performance art. He said that
it was really hard to be next to a Starbucks when someone was banging on a piece of metal,
calling it performance art. If you look at the Newport situation, he said, the museum had started
in a commercial area and there were problems so the museum was moved over to an industrial
area and there was never a problem again. Mr. Johnson said that the museum did not have the
funds to move because it had not been able to open or raise money because the Planning
Department would not let them. In Newport Beach, he said, they gave them a permit and then
they had a problem with them, so they picked a new location in the industrial zone and gave
them the choice of four buildings.

Mayor Daly suggested to Mr. Johnson that he should speak to the Planning staff and look at the
zoning of the City and the locations where museums were permitted.
Mr. Johnson said that they would like to have the museum in an industrial neighborhood.
Council Member Tait commented that Mr. Johnson was probably asking for a chance to have a
public hearing with the Council so that he could discuss this. Mr. Johnson had actually raised
some interesting questions and Council Member Tait asked that this item be set for a public
hearing, seconded by Council Member Kring. Set for public hearing June 19, 2001.
Jonathon Cook, Senior Programmer Analyst for Foothill Transit in the San Gabriel Valley, a
resident of the City of Fullerton and a member of the AAA Electoral Gallery asked to speak on
behalf of the museum.
Mayor Daly stated that the item had been set for a public hearing and public comments should
wait for that time.

B19. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES WAIVER NO. 2001-00013. CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT
- CLASS 4:
OWNER: Wal-Mart, Attn: Tom Ohlendorf
440 N. Euclid Street, Anaheim, CA 92801
LOCATION: 440 N. Euclid Street. Property consists of 38.25 acres bounded on the
north by Crescent Avenue, on the east by Loara Street, on the south by the Santa Ana
(1-5) Freeway, and on the west by Euclid Street.
Request for a Special Circumstances Waiver to permit the long term outdoor storage
and display of merchandise for a retail store located within an existing regional shopping
center in the CL (Commercial, Limited) Zone (Wal-Mart).
ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR:
Approved for the remainder of year 2001.
In response to Mayor Daly regarding the rationale for allowing the special circumstance waiver,
Zoning Administrator, Annika Santalahti stated that the specific location that would have the
display set up was on the south side of the building and was not visible from any off site
location. Wal-Mart may seek a Conditional Use to permit outdoor usage, she said. This was
approved for a limited period for the remainder of the year for specific items that they had out
which was basically some landscaping, umbrellas and a table. It was really approved because
of the lack of visibility to the property.
Planning Director, Joel Fick, said that the items that the Zoning Administrator referred to were
two picnic tables, three swing sets and in addition to that, seasonal items such as a pumpkin
patch and Christmas tree lots during those seasonal periods. Mr. Fick said it was really quite
limited to specified items.
Council Member Feldhaus noted that the Code said that it was for nine consecutive days and
Zoning Administrator Santalahti said yes, up to four, nine consecutive days each time.
Council Member Feldhaus said that one special event permit had been issued so far this year
staff was offering them three additional. He also said that it was unusual for a person to request
and pay the whole year in advance on their permits.
Zoning Administrator Santalahti responded that it was basically dividing up the rest of the year
by nine and that was what it would be. She explained that the special circumstance waiver was
set up to look at certain types of special circumstances. In this instance, she said, her feeling
was that there was a potential for them to obtain a Conditional Use Permit to have what they
would like. Wal-Mart would need to address more permanently what it was they wanted to do,
she said. It was a small area and was kind of an indentation in the building and she could not
--r- " -.-..,-, .--'' .

see it until she went over to it. It was located on the right, between the freeway, she said, and
Wal-Mart was supposed to pay every nine days.
Council Member Feldhaus noted that it was unusual for someone to indicate that they would like
to fly balloons for nine days and wanted to do it five times this year and that they would want to
pay for it in advance.
The Zoning Administrator agreed that it was unusual and said that some auto dealers, for
reasons specifically, had banners and permits for a longer period. In response to another
question posed by Council, the estimated square footage of the set aside display area as 50
feet by 30 feet. In response to the concern that there was too much car traffic, the Zoning
Administrator stated that this side of the building was less used for parking than the west facing
side where the main entrance was to Wal-Mart and the other shops. The area being considered
was south facing and facing the freeway, she said, but there was a wall between the freeway
and the property.
Council Member Feldhaus asked about emergency vehicles that would have to get in and out
and Ms. Santalahti responded that one of the conditions of approval had to do with maintaining
pedestrian clearance along the curb on that side.
Mayor Daly said that the operation seemed to be spilling out of the building a little bit. It seemed
that there was temporary storage on the east side of the building, near the Loara Street access,
and he asked if that was allowed.
Zoning Administrator Santalahti stated that this did not involve that location. The representative
of Wal-Mart indicated that they had put out some tables and umbrellas for employees who
smoked and they did not want them smoking at the front area. This generated interest in the
location and that was how it developed.
Mayor Daly asked if it would not interfere with pedestrians, parking flow or the appearance of
the building and the Zoning Administrator responded that he was correct and she was not
concerned, Ms. Santalahti said that Wal-Mart needed to look at this for the rest of the year and
decide whether they wanted to keep doing something like this. If they did, she said, they would
need to come back for a Conditional Use Permit, or whatever appropriate mechanism to permit
an outdoor display area of some sort. Zoning Administrator Santalahti said that the only thing
that was there for the remainder of the year were the picnic tables. She said that the potted
plants would be out through October 1, 2001 and the assembled swing sets would be out
through September 1, 2001. The pumpkin patches and Christmas trees were allowable
separately. She was told that the picnic tables were not for sale, they were just there for the
employees to smoke. She then offered the Council a copy of the small site plan.
Mayor Daly said that he was concerned about the amount of asphalt at the Anaheim Plaza and
not a lot of green space and limited landscaping areas and he did not want to have the content
of the store spilling out.
Planning Director Joel Fick said that all of the questions that were posed by Council were
concerns that staff had on all major retailers and Planning was concerned when the uses were
visible from public streets and when they impacted pedestrian flow and traffic flow.
