Shelter Grant entitlement funds.
Mr. Lew Overholt, 300 S. Harbor Blvd., Anaheim, Ca. He is speaking on behalf
of Darrell Ament, President of Anaheim Museum, Inc., a non-profit organization
functioning in the Carnegie Library. The museum filed an application to be
considered for a grant of $40,000 to expand its multi-cultural exhibits. He
then explained some of the background of the museum and the expanding role it
plays in the community. He reported that the museum is aggressively pursuing
funding not only from private sources, but also a funding arrangement with the
City. He is asking the Council to reconsider the museum's application or even
a lesser grant to support what the museum has been trying to do for the
community for the last 13 years.
Seferino Garcia, Solevar Community Development, P. O. Box 10003, Anaheim.
(See Mr. Garcia's two-page letter dated May 9, 1995 - made a part of the
record.) His major concern relative to funding allocations is that, 'the
national objectives of HUD and the objectives of the Community Development
Block Grant program against the allocation of the City of Anaheim's CDAB
budget" do not appear to him to be going in the same direction. Money is not
C~TY OF ~N~%HE~ C~L~FORN~ - COUNCIL H~NUTES - ~&~ 9~ L995
reaching the grass roots level of low and moderate income residents and the
youth of the City. The Council should seriously review the consolidated plan
for the future so that it better reflects the objectives of HUD and so that
the plan's objectives "can truly affect change at the neighborhood level and
thus affect a positive change for the entire City."
Mayor Daly asked the City Manager if he had anything further to add regarding
this item.
City Manager Ruth. Staff has a recommendation for Council consideration based
on discussions and negotiations with the YMCA ("Y") last week.
Mayor Daly. Last year, the "Y" received $25,000 in CDBG funds. He would like
to know staff's perspective on funding for the "Y" which is in transition and
attempting to move from their current location on North Street to a new
community center complex in the heart of downtown.
City Manager Ruth. There have been discussions with staff and the "Y" on this
matter in the last few days. Apparently there was some confusion in terms of
the "Y"'s ability to make a presentation before the board in support of their
request for CDBG funding. Staff has reviewed the allocation plan as presented
to the Council tonight and there is almost no discretionary money left. He is
suggesting the Council consider taking $50,000 each out of the Citron Park
site acquisition and the South Anaheim Neighborhood Community Center (SANC),
putting that $100,000 into a contingency fund and subsequently have staff go
back and meet with the "Y" to review their proposal again. Should staff agree
on their program and understand exactly what they are trying to do with their
allocation, staff would then come back to the Council for a recommendation to
include that in the plan.
Answering Council Member Zemel, Mr. Ruth explained it would require additional
funding to make the two acquisitions (Citron and SANC}. They can proceed to
acquire as much property as possible with the available funding and then go
back next year and try to get additional funding through CDBG or other grant
monies.
After additional discussion regarding the present status of the "Y", Mayor
Daly asked that in the City Manager's report back to the Council, that he
address some of the issues - re= the challenge the 'Y" faces, what their
conceptual site is adjacent to the downtown community center and any other
issues that are relevant.
City Manager Ruth clarified his recommendation is that the plan be adopted as
presented with the two exceptions resulting in holding $100,000 in contingency
funds.
Lisa Stipkovich. They can do what the City Manager suggests. The application
could be approved in the form suggested with the contingency line item and
submitted to HUD. Staff would subsequently come back to the Council. The
Council could then take time to review the "Y''s request, and at a later date
allocate funds from contingency into a new activity. The Council does have
the option of approving the application with a contingency of $100,000 to be
clarified later. In the meantime, staff could submit the application to HUD.
Council Member Zemel. He feels it is crucial to have a "Y" downtown and is
looking for security that they are going to get the money. He asked if there
was a way they could incorporate that tonight, vote on it and include language
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNI& - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, .1995
that staff will be working with them; City Manager Ruth stated he preferred to
proceed in the manner he recommended.
Council Member Lopez agreed that he would like to get the facts first.
Council Member Feldhaus. When the matter is brought back to the Council next
week, he would also like the City Manager to determine how they can allocate
about $10,000 to the museum; the reason being, there has been a major face
lift on that corner (Anaheim Blvd. and Broadway), the museum now has a full-
time curator, and there are many tourists coming to Anaheim.
Mayor Daly. The City Manager's recommendation is to approve the package on
the agenda with the modification articulated that would create a $100,000
contingency. The City Manager will report back next week with a more
definitive recommendation on the use of the $100,000 potentially for the YMCA
program based on more facts, productive use of that money and anything else
that was said.
City Manager Ruth. Based on the recommendation by Council Member Feldhaus,
there may be some extra money in terms of the contingency fund. Staff will be
glad to review that with the museum and come back to the Council with that as
part of the recommendation next week.
Council Member Tait. He is a current Board Member of the YMCA and, therefore,
will be abstaining on that portion relating to placing funds into contingency
from the Citron and SANC projects to "Y" programs.
A16. 175~ RESOLUTION NO. 95R-71s A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM ACCEPTING A GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE
MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR A USED OIL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING THE
PUBLIC UTILITIES GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS, AND

A17. 123s Approving an Agreement with Ferrellgas to allow the continuation of
the sale of propane gas at the Convention Center through
January 11, 1998; and to continue to pay the City a commission for that
privilege.
Greg Smith, General Manager, Anaheim Stadium and Convention Center explained
for Council Member Feldhaus that the arrangement they have with Ferrellgas is
strictly for the use of contractors working at the Convention Center. It is
merely for their convenience and to provide a safe environment for them to
fill their propane tanks.
A18. 114~ Approving minutes of the City Council meeting held April 18, 1995.

appointments.
MOTION. Mayor Daly moved to continue the appointment to the Senior Citizens
Commission and the Public Library Board for two weeks to 5/23/95. Council
Member Zemel seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Daly explained for Council Member Feldhaus his
reasons for requesting the continuance. He has discussed the Library Board
vacancy with current members of the board. There were suggestions relative to
filling that vacancy with background expertise that is not now represented on
the board and an attempt to make it as reflective of the community as
possible. Relative to the Senior Citizens Commission, he wants to be sure the
vacancy is broadcast as far and wide as possible.
A vote was then taken on the motion of continuance. MOTION CARRIED.

AVENUE/DOUGLASS ROAD AREA STR~ETREIMBURSEMI~q~ FEE PROGRAM~
To consider the adoption of a resolution establishing the Cerritos
Avenue/Douglass Road Area Street Re{mBursement Fee Program.
Continued from the meetings of March 14, 1995, Item D1, and March 21,
1995, Item D1; and at the meeting of April 4, 1995, Item D1, the public
hearing was opened, public input received, and the HEARING WAS CLOSED
and continued to 4/18/95.}
At the meeting of 4/18/95, there was no motion offered overruling all
protests (4/Sths vote required); and since there was no motion offered,
there was no action taken to direct the City Attorney to prepare a
resolution establishing the Cerrito8 Avenue/Douglass Road Area Street
Reimbursement Fee Program at a fee of $0 against Parcel A and $112,800
against Parcel B of the Cerritos Avenue/Douglass Road area, and
specifying that the fee will be reviewed 1) at the time final actual
costs are available and 2) at the time of development approval for
Parcel B. Therefore, Council took no action on this item.
The request for rehearing was submitted by TeJas Partners, LTD.
City Attorney White. Relative to the request for a rehearing, the Council
made a decision by not taking an action (see minute8 of April 18, 1995).
Tejas is appealing the Council not taking an action. At this time, the
Council has the discretion to approve or deny the request for a rehearing. It
should be based upon the reasons submitted in the Declaration of Merit dated
April 28, 1995. Tejas is exhausting its administrative remedies.
MOTION. Council Member Zemel moved to deny the request for rehearing.
Council Member Feldhaus seconded the motion,
Before a vote was taken, Council Member Feldhaus stated Tejas Partners was
present at the Public Hearing. He does not see anything in their explanation
that would change his opinion; Council Member Zemel. He believes the matter
was heard and subsequently continued giving Tejas two opportunities for input.
(See minutes of April 4 and April 18, 1995).
A vote was then taken on the motion to deny the request. MOTION CARRIED.

RESORT ~REA~
To consider an Ordinance amending Title 16, Chapter 16.40 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code, establishing a Fire Protection Facilities and Paramedic
Services Impact Fee for the Anaheim Resort Area of Anaheim. (A
Resolution establishing the amount of the Fire Protection Facilities and
Paramedic Services Impact Fee to be considered in conjunction with the
adoption of the ordinance.)
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIP. EMENTS MET BY:
Legal Advertising Published - March 23, 1995 and March 30, 1995.
Gary Johnson, Director of Public Works and City Engineer briefed joint re~ort
from his department and Fire Chief Bowman dated April 10, 1995 recommending
the establishment of a Fire Protection Facilities and Paramedic Services
Impact Fee for the Anaheim Resort Area.

CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1995
Council Member Zemel. This started with the Disney Resort expansion. Now
that they have pulled back, he is wondering why the need for a development
fee.
Russ Maguire, Deputy City Engineer. What initiated this was not only the
Disney Resort Specific Plan, but also the Anaheim Resort and the Hotel Circle
project. The announcement Disney has made is a reassessment and not an
abandonment of their program. The City expects Disney to proceed. He then
explained the reasons and need for the development fee which was also
subsequently addressed by Fire Chief, Jeff Bowman and City Attorney White.
The City Attorney in his closing comments emphasized that this has a lengthy
history and if the City does not establish a mitigation plan to cover
increased Fire and Paramedic services, they will have to go back and find an
alternative to mitigate those needs in order to keep legal the Environmental
Impact Re~orts for any of those projects (Disney Resort, Anaheim Resort, Hotel
Circle). The City Council approved those three projects and if the City does
not have a mitigation plan in place to offset the demand for fire and
paramedic services, they would have great difficulty in sustaining any of the
three projects.
Mayor Daly opened the Public Hearing and asked to hear from anyone who wished
to speak~ there being no response, he closed the Public Hearing.
Mayor Daly offered Ordinance 5496 for first reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 5496= AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ADDING CHAPTER
16.40 TO TITLE 16 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING A FIRE
PROTECTION FACILITIES AND PARAMEDIC SERVICES IMPACT FEE FOR NEW AND
EXPANDED DEVELOPMENT IN THE ANAHEIM RESORT.
Council Member Zemel. The Council will have an opportunity to discuss the
matter one more time when the ordinance has its final reading next week. His
concern is that it will impede development by imposing onerous fees on land
owners without knowing what is going to happen in the area.
Tom Wood, Deputy City Manager. That was one of the major concerns staff has
had throughout the entire process. In working with the industry, they have
diligently attempted to minimize the fees. The bulk of the improvements being
done in the area are being done with the Transient Occupancy Tax and thus are
being paid for through the guests who are the beneficiaries of all the
improvements.
Cl.
171: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION CONCERNING MEASURE R
(PROPOSED SALES TAX INCREASE IN ORANGE COUNTY). (Resolution
opposing Measure R requested by Council Member Zemel at the meeting of
May 2, 1995, Item Cl.)
Council Member Zemel. He feels it is time for the Council to show some
leadership and establish a position relative to the measure and that the City
should take a position of opposition. He does not feel they have yet begun to
recover from the last sales tax increase nor has the County explored all
options available short of a sales tax. The County has to look at their
properties. There are three in Anaheim which the City would like to have.
The City should take a position which hopefully would have some value in
directing the County to look at other options.
Mayor Daly. Any individual Council Member has the right to take a stand on
any governmental issue. However, if a Council Member is suggesting that the
14
CITY OF ANAHEIM~ CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1995
Council as a group take a position and tell voters how to vote on a matter,
they need to have all facts at their disposal and & complete and total
discussion.
Council Member Zemel. He is inviting other Council members to take a position
along with his position and if there is a majority, to go forward in drawing
up a resolution to submit to the County opposing Measure R.
Mayor Daly. He would suggest before doing so, that they invite the County
Sheriff, District Attorney, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and others
sponsoring Measure R to attend a Council meeting and describe the role they
are taking in ending the County bankruptcy. He had a conversation with
Sheriff Gates who will be happy to discuss Measure R at any time and any
place. He does not know about the others.
Council Member Zemel. He feels it would be great to invite them to discuss
the matter but He would still like to have a resolution drawn that would be
available for the Council to vote on after hearing from the County officials.
They could take a vote tonight to have it drawn and ready to be voted on. He
would be satisfied with that.
Council Member Lopez. he feels it would be premature to do anything and does
not want to take staff time before getting input from those who put the
measure together.
Council Member Tait. He would like the Council to take a position as a
Council. His focus is the people of Anaheim who are paying the taxes and that
is why he would be strongly opposed to Measure R.
Mayor Daly. He will speak against drafting a resolution until they have had a
chance to have a fuller discussion with the principals involved.
Council Member Feldhaus. He is philosophically opposed to taxes but he also
has a philosophical problem with publicly voting on any matter that does not
affect the City. It is his as well as everyone's right to vote in a voting
booth.
Council Member Zemel. If they are going to bring the County back and bring
businesses back to Anaheim, it is only prudent to take a position on the
issue. Council Member Tait has offered to draft the resolution himself and he
looks forward to that. He also hopes the people in the County who would like
to speak on the matter can do so. Hopefully, they can have the discussion
under the same item Cl. next Tuesday.
Mayor Daly. He asked the City Manager and staff to coordinate with William
Popejoy, County CEO and Sheriff Gates to have them speak as soon as it can be
arranged.
C2 · 114: COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council Member Feldhaus. He asked if any more thought had been given to a
Saturday morning meeting.
Mayor Daly. Council Member Feldhaus has suggested prior to adoption of next
year's budget that the Council consider a Saturday morning workshop on the
budget and related matters. He (Daly) suggested perhaps the first Saturday in
June and that the Council ought to think about it for a week. Such meetings in
the past had to do with priority setting/goal setting.
