(5:37 p.m.) ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: There were no additions to agenda items. Mayor Daly confirmed for the City Clerk that as in the past, they will hold comments on the C items on the agenda until those items are addressed. ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST: Shirley J. Lewis, 1241 N. East Street $111, Anaheim, 92805. When she was present on October 18, 1994, she was promised the City would check into the matter of patient abuse concerning Life Fleet Ambulance. She asked why she was not invited to the meeting. Life Fleet has told the City they are trying to turn things around. She feels they have avoided the issues in their statements to the City as well as to her. They have not mentioned anything about patient abuse or their people doing anything wrong. She is demanding justice in this matter and is demanding a full investigation. Mrs. Lewis continued her presentation shouting her concerns, posing questions and stating that the City has the authority to do what must be done. She alleged that abuse is going on and is asking if the City is going to do a thorough investigation. She urged that if anyone else has had a problem with Life Fleet that they should contact Justice, P.O. Box 189, Brea, CA 92622. Mayor Daly. After admonishing Mrs. Lewis relative to her behavior, he asked the City Attorney the legal procedure in this matter. Mrs. Lewis has been to previous Council meetings alleging a private contractor and private ambulance company has abused her. City Attorney White. Normal procedure would be that anyone who has a grievance or a cause of action against a private contractor would have the right to seek legal redress against that contractor in a court of law. Mrs. Lewis has the ability to contact private legal counsel for advice and if she has a complaint, she can have legal counsel file that for her against the ambulance company. Because this is a private company, the City does not have the same ability to conduct investigations as if it were a City employee involved. City Manager Ruth explained that staff immediately did follow-up with Life Fleet and had at least two meetings with them, felt that progress was made in resolving the issues and discussed them at length with Life Fleet and their management. He reiterated, staff immediately followed up on all these issues, discussed them with Life Fleet and felt they have been reconciled. Janice Turner, the City's Emergency Medical Services Coordinator had at least one meeting, perhaps two with Life Fleet and expressed concerns from the City's standpoint and Mrs. Lewis' concerns. If those practices did occur, they would take corrective measures and they assured the City they would. 28 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY l?r 1995 - S~00 P.M. Later in the meeting, Mayor Daly stated if there can be any kind of follow-up in this matter by staff he would appreciate it since Mrs. Lewis was so emotional over the issue. City Manager Ruth. The Fire Department did pursue the matter very diligently, had the meetings and did get the assurances that he has indicated but he will follow up again. Phil Knypstra, 2520 Gelid Avenue, Anaheim. Relative to the Orange County financial crisis, one of his concerns involved Deferred Compensation which is designated as S457 in the IRS code. The issue affects all of the Jurisdictions in Orange County - school districts, water districts, any government jurisdiction is affected by that code section. It allows government employees to contribute up to $7,500 of their salary into their fund for their retirement. Because of a technical flaw in the code section under IRS, that money can be taken from employees in a bankruptcy situation even though the employees had nothing to do with it. He is trying to push an effort that would change the legislation to preclude this from happening. He is hoping the Council will make an effort through their legislative leadership in Congress to change the law. It is a minor detail in the code. Under the present code section, if there is a bankruptcy such as with Orange County, the money belongs to Orange County even though taken from the employee. They have the right to take it and that is why the law should be changed. Council Member Feldhaus. He asked Mr. Knypstra if he realized that Anaheim did not have any deferred compensation in the pool~ Mr. Knypstra answered yes but the exposure should not be there. Manuel Valenzuela, 2263 W. Colchester Drive, SA, Anaheim. He is having some problems with his neighbors. What is going on is drug dealing at 2269 W. Colchester, SC. He has written a letter to the Mayor, Police Department, Chief of Police, etc. He wants to know what he can expect as help from the City. They are in violation of California Health and Safety Code 11570. The situation has been going on for approximately 8 months or so. Mayor Daly. He noted that Police Chief Randall Gaston was present. He asked Mr. Valenzuela to discuss the matter with the Chief so that he can evaluate it and take the appropriate steps to correct the situation. Jim Antonwich. He owns a four-plex in Anaheim. Mr. Valenzuela is one of his tenants. They have been trying to get some help with the drug problem for almost a year. One of his tenants who moved out but lived right next to where they are dealing drugs said he accumulated over 55 license plate numbers, but the Police have not been able to come up with any leads. They have written two letters to the City - one to the Police Chief and one to the Mayor. They are also in the process of writing their congressman. His attorney told him he should come down and plead to the City Council. He is asking for help in this matter. Mr. Valenzuela is the only one who has stayed. He clarified for the Mayor that they are not dealing drugs in his complex, but the four-plex next to it. 29 C~t¥ Hall~ Anahe£m~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - ~ANUARY 17~ 1995 - 5~00 P.N. Mayor Daly asked that Mr. Antonwich supply the name of the Police Officer that spoke to him when he called and give it to the Police Chief and also follow-up with him as Mr. Valenzuela is doing at this time. pUBLIC COMMENTS - AGENDA ITEMS: There were no public comments on City Council Agenda items.

Cl. 114= COUNCIL VACANCY: Discussion and/or action pertaining to the vacancy to the two year term ending November, 1996, on the Anaheim City Council. At the Council meeting of December 6, 1994, Mayor Daly asked that this matter be placed on the Council Agenda of December 13, 1994. There was extensive discussion and input received at the December 13, 1994 meeting and the discussion was continued to December 20, 1994 where further input was received and again continued to January 10, 1995 (see minutes those dates). Although nominations were made to 32 C£tv H&ll~ Anaheim, Cal£~orn~a - COUNCIL ~INUT~$ - ~IUARY 17, 1995 - 5=00 P.M. fill the vacant seat at the meetings of December 20, 1994 and January 10, 1995, no nominee received three affirmative votes and, therefore, no one was selected to fill the vacant seat. The matter was subsequently continued to this date. Mayor Daly. Before discussion, he asked the City Attorney if there has been any update on the legal action filed relative to the Council vacancy and filling it by appointment. City Attorney White. As the Council knows, there is pending litigation concerning the appointment to the Council vacancy brought by Mrs. Shirley McCracken. It is scheduled for a hearing on Friday in Superior Court. Last Wednesday, Judge McDonald considered the petitioners request for a temporary restraining order to prohibit the Council from considering and making an appointment pending the court hearing and denied the request. As part of those discussions, the City's representative stated that the City was not planning to hold a Council meeting this evening which turned out to be an error due to an error in his calendar since the meeting was originally scheduled, then cancelled and subsequently reinstituted. The judge has since been informed of the Council Meeting and did not change his decision therefore, the matter of the vacancy is again before the Council tonight and there is no legal prohibition against the Council taking action. The court action is still in process and will not be decided until Friday, January 20, 1995. The following people then spoke on the issue and their comments summarized~ Jerry Stoces, 6291Camino Manzano, Anaheim. As a former candidate and one who cares about his City, he is present to voice his support for appointing Shirley McCracken to the vacant Council seat. He had the opportunity to get to know the candidates especially in the last two months before the election and feels Mrs. McCracken is "first rate". He is opposed to spending $100,000 on a special election. He is hoping Mrs. McCracken will again be nominated tonight and the fifth seat filled. Before proceeding, Mayor Daly clarified a point made in Mr. Stoces' presentation noting that the Charter, in fact, does not stipulate that the next highest vote getter is to fill the vacancy and that previous Charter Review Committees have not recommended filling a vacancy in that manner. Dr. John Baird, 3239 W. Ravenswood Drive, Anaheim (38 years). He pointed to several things that the funds for a special election could be used for. He especially urged Council Members Lopez and Zemel not to stand in the way of selecting for the vacant,seat the person who was third in the voting in the last election. Jackie Ray Jessen, Sr., 508 N. Anaheim Boulevard, Anaheim Police Association. They support the idea that Council Member Lopez and Zemel have - that there be a special election. Nobody voted for third place. He feels money has been wasted in the City before so why not spend $100,000 for a new Councilman. If this is not a war of words and they do have a real problem, why did they not extend Council Member Hunter's or Simpson's term if they wanted it. Throwing somebody new into the financial "fray" would not be too good for the City. 33 City Hall~ &naheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 17r 1995 - 5~00 P.M. Mayor Daly. He has expressed his preferences based on the qualifications and track records of candidates in the last election. There are many qualified persons who could fill the remaining months of the term. Anaheim has been in this position on quite a few occasions in the past 30 years and in almost every case, the Council has been able to agree on an appointment. Former Mayor Ben Bay was originally appointed. He has at least twice supported Shirley McCracken and continues to feel she is the most deserving person at this time. He has also supported Paul Bostwick who he believes is also well qualified. He is willing to consider other people Council Members may wish to nominate and hopes they will bring other names forward. Council Member Zemel. Before making nominations, he would like to have the City Attorney, for the record, elaborate on the rules they have been instructed to follow. City Attorney White. The rules for nomination would be that any member of the Council may nominate any person who is a qualified elector of the City, i.e., 18 years of age or older and have resided in Anaheim for 30 days or more. After the nominations are made, it would be in order to close nominations by a motion. The nominees are then voted on in the order made and the person receiving the highest number of affirmative votes, provided there are at least three affirmative votes in favor of that nominee, would be deemed elected. If the Council wishes to deviate from those rules which are the rules under which they have been operating since this process was placed in motion on December 13, 1994, they could do that by a motion to elect by a plurality or adopt some other rule. As of right now, it would take three affirmative votes. He reiterated these are the same rules they have been operating under since December 13, 1994 that were laid out in his memorandum of November 28, 1994. Council Member Zemel. If someone abstains, he asked if that would be considered a yes vote. City Attorney White. He would recommend because of the issue currently in litigation that no member abstain unless they are under some legal disability from voting. Council Member Lopez. If they now do not abstain he questioned if that would not send the wrong message to Judge McDonald. Now the City Attorney is advising them to vote yes or no. City Attorney White. This did not become an issue until after the last two votes. If it had been brought up as an issue before December 13, he would have looked at it differently as far as how he would suggest that the Council proceed in abstentions. Now that it has been brought up as an issue and is the subject of litigation, it would seem to him prudent that no one abstain unless there is a valid reason for abstaining. An argument can be made under the rules that each Council Member is supposed to vote unless there is a legal disability or reason to abstain. Solely because of the litigation, there should not be any abstentions. The message continues to be that three votes are required. His reason for suggesting no abstentions is so that a new candidate does not raise this as an issue. His instruction since the beginning is that three votes are required. Council has been following that direction and that is the same direction it will follow tonight unless changed. The rules were adopted in 1988. Before that, there were no formal rules. In 1979, there was a ruling that said an abstention counts as an affirmative vote. That was the rule until 1986 or 1987 when the Council appealed that ruling. The first adoption of formal rules was in 1988. He 34 City Hs11~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 17~ 1995 - 5~00 P.M. does not know of instances in the nomination of a Council person where a person was appointed by less than three votes even before they had rules. Council Member Zemel. He does not want to make any further mistakes. It will take three yes votes to appoint. It is important that they not go forward without a clear understanding. Mayor Daly again nominated Paul Bostwick. Council Member Feldhaus then nominated Mr. Bob Messe, a current City Planning Commissioner for 10 years, first giving his background and credentials and why Mr. Messe is qualified to be appointed to the vacant Council seat. Council Member Zemel. He clarified that he does not want it said because he does not support a particular person, he wants a special election. He wants to open up the process. It was never his belief they should rush forward with a third highest vote getter. He has received many calls, resumes and applications from the public. He is looking for an independent person that shares a fiscal policy in tune with the demeanor of the community and the country. He thereupon nominated Mr. Tom Tait, a current member of the City Planning Commission. He then gave Mr. Tait's background and credentials. Mayor Daly. Three people have been nominated - Paul Bostwick, Bob Messe and Tom Tait. He asked the City Attorney if nominations are closed and votes made on the nominees, could other names be brought forth. City Attorney White. If the nominations are closed and the Council votes on the nominees, that clears the slate. If nominations are opened again, they are starting all over and those votes are not weighed against prior votes. MOTION: Mayor Daly moved to close nominations, Council Member Lopez seconded the motion. One vacancy. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Daly asked for a roll call vote on the nominations in the order in which they were made. The first being Mr. Psul Bostwick: Roll Call Vote - Ayes: Noes: Abstention: Feldhaus, Daly Lopez, Zemel --0-- Mayor Daly. The next nominee is Mr. Bob Messe: Roll Call Vote - Ayes: Noes: Abstention: Feldhaus, Daly Lopez, Zemel --0-- Mayor Daly. The next nominee is Mr. Tom Tait: Roll Call Vote - Ayes: Noes: Abstention: Feldhaus, Zemel Lopez, Daly --0-- Mayor Daly then stated he is going to nominate a woman he has known for many years, JoAnne Barnett. He then gave her background, credentials and reasons why she would be qualified to fill the vacant Council seat. This is the last name he will bring forward this evening. 35 City H&11~ Anshe£m, Cali[orn£s - CouNcIL NINUTES - ~'~.~RY 17~ 1995 - 5:00 Council Member Zemel again nominated Mr. Tom Tait. Mayor Daly. Since no previous nominee received three affirmative votes, two additional names have been placed in nomination - JoAnne Barnett and Tom Tait. MOTION: Mayor Daly moved to close nominations. Council Member Feldhaus seconded the motion. One vacancy. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Daly called for a Roll Call Vote on JoAnne Barnett: Roll Call Vote - Ayes: Noes~ Abstention: Feldhaus, Daly Lopez, Zemel --0-- Mayor Daly called for a Roll Call Vote on Mr. Tom Tait: Roll Call Vote - Ayes: Noes: Abstention: Feldhaus, Zemel Lopez, Daly --0-- Mayor Daly suggested that they move on and ask for clarification that the Council has approximately 10 more days to make an appointment to the vacant seat. City Attorney White. Next week is the last regular meeting before the expiration of the 60 day period in which to make an appointment. He believes they have until January 28, 1995 to do so which is a Saturday. Later in the meeting, Mayor Daly confirmed for the City Clerk that the matter of the vacant Council seat is to again be placed on the Council Meeting Agenda next week, January 24, 1995. C2. 114: APPOINTMENTS TO CITY COUNCIL LIAISON COMMITTEES: Mayor Daly. There are nine existing liaison committees and as discussed since the election, they may want to create additional liaison committees involving City departments or special topics and delete others. There was a brief discussion between Council Members relative to the committees and assignments presently filled by Mayor Daly and Council Member Feldhaus. During the discussion, Council Member Lopez suggested that there be a liaison committee for the Convention Center; City Manager Ruth noted that they are presently in the process of looking at a master plan and an economic analysis relative to the Convention Center and this would be very timely. The Community Center Authority Board has also been a very effective body to give advice and recommendations to the C0uncil over the years. MOTION: Council Member Lopez moved that there be a liaison committee for the Convention Center. Council Member Feldhaus seconded the motion. One vacancy. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Daly suggested that they leave the Planning liaison assignments open for a few more weeks. There will also be a fifth member wanting to participate on some of these committees. After a further brief discussion, appointments were made as follows: 36 City Hall, A~heim, Californ~a - COUNCIL MZNUTES - JANUARY 17f 1995 - 5~00 P.M.
