items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the regular meeting of June 6, 1995 to order at 3=18 p.m.,
all Council Members being present.
The meeting opened with the continuation of the Departmental Budget Workshop.
The following Department Heads then gave an overview of their department's
proposed budget which in some instances included an explanation of what their
departments had accomplished and the services provided in the past year, their
goals and projections for the coming year, changes and future outlook= (Staff
answered any questions that were posed by Council Members during or at the
completion of presentations.)
Dave Morgan, Assistant City Manager (for City Manager Ruth) Administration

Information, Risk Management and this year, Facility and Fleet Maintenance and
Data Processing.
Dave Morgan, Assistant City Manager and Interim Finance Director - Finance

divisions= Accounting and Payroll/Purchasing. Effective July 1, 1995, the
Collections and Business License Divisions have been transferred to the

CITY OF ANAHEIH~ CAL~FOI~A - COUNCIL H~NUTE8 - ~une 6~ L995
Leonora N. Sohl, City Clerk - City Clerk's Office (see pages 36 and 37 of the
Budget Document). She first noted that the City Clerk's Office is one of the
original and oldest offices in local government. She reported on the
accomplishments and services provided by the Clerk's Office both to City
departments and the public. She emphasized the value of investment in records
systems in the Clerk's Office to the entire organization and to the citizens.
Jack White, City Attorney - City Attorney's Office (see pages 34-35 of the
Budget Document). Mr. White prefaced his presentation, noting it has been an
unprecedented year of legal issues for the City. Overshadowing all else has
been the bankruptcy, of the Orange County investment pool. His office has had
the responsibility of protecting the City's legal interest in the pool funds.
Highlights have been the end of 13 years of litigation with the California
Angels, resolution of litigation concerning the Convention Center parking
garage and a recent agreement by the City's insurers to pay continuing
litigation costs relating to the land slide. In reporting on the Prosecution
Section of the City Attorney's Office, questions posed revolved around the
fact that Anaheim is the only City in the County that prosecutes misdemeanor
offenses committed in the City as well as State Code misdemeanors. Of the
12,000 cases that are prosecuted by his office, if the City did not fund the
seven prosecuting attorneys, the District Attorney would have the
responsibility of handling those but has the discretion on which ones to file,
convert to infractions, or not file them at all. He feels that would affect
the City's entire public safety package.
Charlene Jung, City Treasurer - City Treasurer's Office (see pages 38 and 39
of the Budget Document). Her presentation covered only the City Treasurer
Selected Objectives since, as previously noted, the Collections and Business
License Division is transferred to the Finance Department effective July 1,
1995.
City Manager Ruth. This concludes~the scheduled Departmental presentations
for June 6, 1995.
Mayor Daly opened the Public Hear'~ng.
Mr. Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. Relative to the Arena Selected
Objectives, i.e., the difference between the 1994/95 projected amount of
$794,313 and the 1995/96 proposed amount of $3,149,833, he asked if the
increase was attributed to the 'no second team" penalty. He also suggested a
public service announcement campaign be made advertising the fact that Anaheim
prosecutes those who break the law, which he feels would be a deterrent to
crime in the City.
City Manager Ruth. Relative to the increase regarding the Arena, it has
nothing to do with whether there is one major team or two major teams, but it
has to do with possessory interest tax which the City is in the process of
protesting to the County. That issue will be part of the discussion on
June 20, 1995 when the Stadium and Convention Center budget is presented to
the Council.
There were no additional speakers at this time.
Mayor Daly moved to continue the Public Hearing to Tuesday, June 13, 1995, at
2:00 p.m., Council Member Zemel seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

This item was removed from the Consent Calendar and acted upon separately
following the Consent Calendar -- see below.
Submitted was report dated May 31, 1995 from Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks,
Recreation and Community Services recommending approval of the subject license
agreement.
Council Member Zemel. He thought when this was discussed previously, there
were problems; Mayor Daly. He shares the concern. There should be a clear
understanding of what they are approving and how it connects to the overall
City policy regarding installation of towers. He asked for a brief report
from staff.
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services. He briefed
his report of May 31, 1995 noting that at the previous meetings where the item
was discussed (see minutes of 2/14 and 2/28/95), the Council did have some
concern and requested information about planning of additional cellular sites
throughout the City which has been provided. Representatives from AirTouch
are present today to give information on their plans for the site.
Mayor Daly. His concern is the proposed 15-year agreement with two 5-year
options at the discretion of AirTouch or 25 years.
Council Member Zemel. He has a problem because the installation is in a park
and he i8 not certain the people of Riverdale have had an opportunity to give
their input.
Council Member Feldhaus. He raised the question when the matter was first
brought before the Council. He actually went to the site in Riverdale Park
which is located behind Fire Station No. 8. The only. people who might be
impacted are those looking out of the back side of the hospital. This is the
last cell site AirTouch is looking for. There is a stand of trees about 40 to
50' high. He now does not see a problem with the request after viewing the
site particularly since AirTouch will be contributing $16,040 for playground
equipment for the park and $1,000 a month for some maintenance fees. It
mitigated some of his concerns particularly because the antenna is out of
sight.
City Manager Ruth confirmed that AirTouch has proposed other towers but none
are proposed at park sites.
C~TY OF ANAHE~ CAL~FOI~A - COUNCIL ~NUTE8 - ~une 6~ ~995
Joel Fick, Planning Director. He clarified that AirTouch does plan to
establish different types of antennas throughout the-City and will submit a
Master Plan as a separate item.
Council Member Lopez. His concern is in allowing AirTouch to install their
tower and subsequently finding it difficult not to allow other such towers
which would eventually have a detrimental aesthetic effect particularly since
the City is in the process of undergrounding utilities and making other
improvements.
Jack Kudron, Superintendent/Parks & Golf. This is the second cellular site on
a park and each one has gone through a CUP process through the Planning
Commission and City Council. There is an opportunity on each and every
specific project for review at the CUP level~ Chris Jarvi. Staff looks at
every proposed site on a case-by-case basis. It has to meet certain
conditions in terms of its location and the site.
City Attorney White. There is no precedent set by approval of any one site
since each is a discretionary zoning permit that goes through the Planning
Commission and, on appeal, to the City Council. Granting one for one location
does not set a precedent or obligate the Planning Commission or Council to
approve another.
Mr. John Petke, The Planning Associates, 3151 Airway Avenue, Ste. R-l, Costa
Mesa. He noted first that the Project Manager from AlrTouch is also present.
They have spent months and hours working with City staff to identify the Fire
Station as a prospective site to co-locate on the existing microwave tower.
They try to aesthetically locate compatibly with existing architecture or
features. He then gave their reasons for wanting to locate at the proposed
site, their goals in selecting a site, the need for such installations, but
most importantly, that the site allowed them to be aesthetically compatible.
He also answered questions posed by the Mayor on the need for a 25-year
agreement explaining that they also have other configurations for license
agreements and have given samples to staff.
Council Member Tait. He has a problem with a 25-year agreement as well and
would be more comfortable with perhaps a 10-15 year term.
Council Member Lopez. His main concern was opening the door to many other
locations in the City for installing these antennas but since staff explained
each is considered individually, he no longer has a problem.
Eric Meats, AirTouch. This agreement was based on the original agreement on
their installation at the Lincoln Park site. It was fashioned almost in its
entirety after that agreement. However, the term can be changed to something
more acceptable to the Council. AlrTouch would like at least a 10-year term
because of the significant amount of money being invested. Anything less than
that would not be practical.
Mayor Daly. He suggests they follow Council Member Tait's suggestion and
attempt to reduce the term of the agreement and consider some other
mitigations as well for whatever loss of aesthetics will occur.
MOTION. Mayor Daly moved to continue approval of the subject License
Agreement for three weeks and that staff evaluate other tradeoffs and a
shorter term. Council Member Tait seconded the motion.
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6, 1995
Before a vote was taken, City Attorney White stated the appropriate action
would be to refer the matter back to staff and subsequently for staff to bring
back a different document for the Council to look at, since other things are
going to have to be changed besides the term.
Mayor Daly 8mended his motion accordingly. Council Member Tait agreed.
MOTION CARRIED.

agreements on behalf of the City.
This £te~ was removed from the Consent Calendar and acted upon separately
following the Consent Calendar -- see below.
Submitted was report dated May 31, 1995 from Greg Smith, Stadium and
Convention Center General Manager recommending the subject action.
Mayor Daly asked if this item brings to an end previous Requests for Proposal
(RFP).
City Manager Ruth answered yes, and staff is recommending a modification of
the fee upwards. Greg Smith met with the people in the industry and they are
in accord with the recommendation. The increase in the fee is justifiable.
It is not in the City's best interest or the lndustry's beet interest to give
an exclusive to anyone.
10
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1995
Greg Smith. The agreements are entered into on an annual basis. The mood he
experienced from the shows that end up paying the fees and the electrical
contractors is generally they would rather pay a higher fee than work through
an exclusive contractor. He has discussed this with many of the affected
parties particularly the major exhibitors who pay the lion's share. The
recommendation before the Council today would keep arrangements the same
except for the amount of commission paid back to the Convention Center for the
electrical installations.
MOTION. Mayor Daly moved to reject all proposals submitted exhibit electrical
contracting at the Anaheim Convention Center and continuing to allow all
approved and contracted firms to perform electrical contracting for exhibit
shows at the Anaheim Convention Center. Council Member Zemel seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.

A33. 105~ APPOINTMENT TO FILL THE SENIOR CITIZENS COMMISSION VACANCXESs
Appointment to the Senior Citizens Commission to fill the
unscheduled vacancy of William Erickson (term ending 6/30/97) and
Kincannon (term ending 6/30/96). (Continued from the meeting of
May 9, 1995, Item Al9.)
Mayor Daly asked if the Council wished to proceed on this item or continue it
one week.
Council Member Lopez nominated Curtis Stricker.
Mayor Daly moved to continue appointments to the Senior Citizens Commission
for one week noting that Mr. George MacLaren, President of the Commission was
present and he (Daly) would like to discuss with him qualifications and
interest levels of various seniors who have applied to serve. He does not
recall seeing an application from Mr. Str£cker. Council Member Talt seconded
the motion for a continuance.
George MacLaren. He expressed his concern that the Commission is operating
with only three people. He feels it is urgent to appoint two people tonight
to insure when they meet on Thursday, they will at least have a quorum. He
believes there will be two more vacancies come June 30, 1995 (Atwell and
Willing).
Mayor Daly. He appreciates the concern expressed, but his concern is that
they have the best qualified, most positive type of individuals to serve on
the Commission.
A vote was then taken on the motion to continue the appointments for one week.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Daly. He asked the City Clerk to forward any additional names to the
Council.
city Clerk Sob1. Press releases were published and generated a very good
response for numbers of Boards and Commissions. As the Council knows, terms
are expiring on almost all Boards and Commissions on June 30. Letters were
mailed on Friday asking current members if they are interested in being
reappointed.
A34. 114~ Appointing a Representative for Anaheim to District 9, Orange
County Water District Board of Directors, to the unexpired term
ending November 29, 1996.
City Clerk Sohl. This position was previously held by former Council Member
Pickler whose resignation from the Board was received on May 18, 1995. No
letters of interest have yet been received on this particular position.
Mr. Dale Stanton, Harle Street, Anaheim. If the Council is considering
appointing a citizen from the community at large, he would like to be

considered for that appointment. He has not submitted anything in writing
since he only found out about the proposed appointment at 2=30 today.
Mayor Daly. He thanked Mr. Stanton for expressing his interest and
willingness to serve. Because of the importance of this appointment to
Anaheim, he suggested that they solicit any additional interest from the
community. He noted that formal applications can be obtained from the City
Clerk's Office. For most of Anaheim's history, it has been the tradition to
find a qualified individual with background in water issues to serve on the
subject Board.
MOTION. Mayor Daly moved to continue appointing a Representative to the
Orange County Water District Board of Directors for two weeks. Council Member
Lopez seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

COMMISSION.
(b) Discussion relative to direction to be given to the Budget
Advisory Commission by the City Council. (Requested by Council
Member Zemel at the meeting of May 16, 1995.)
City Attorney White clarified for the Mayor he recommends the Council not take
any action on the motion dissolving the current Investment Review Committee
this evening. If a member of the Council introduces the ordinance, it will be
on the agenda next week for adoption and, if adopted, the Council can then
take action dissolving the current Committee, effective July 13, which would
be the effective date of the ordinance. If the Council wishes to amend the
ordinance and the changes are minor, that can be done but if changes are
substantial, he would suggest that it be brought back again next week.
Mayor Daly. He would like to provide the Council with more flexibility
regarding the qualifications of the persons who would be serving~ City
Attorney White. He (Daly) may be reading from the resolution given to the
Council earlier today. That will be acted upon separately at a later date.
The ordinance gives the Council the flexibility to later adopt by resolution
specific qualifications for the Commission members which the Council could
consider some time between the date the ordinance is adopted and the date it
takes effect. The resolution was a rough draft for the Council to look at and
suggest any changes.
16
C~TY OF ANAHEI~ CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL ~NUTE8 - ~une 6~ ~995
Council Member Zemel. He recommended that the motion dissolving the current
Investment Review Committee be postponed until the new committee is staffed
because it will take some time~ City Attorney White. That is a good
suggestion. It can be brought back to the Council at the same time as the
Council has nominations and, as the last item after the Council fills all the
slots on the committee, to dissolve the current committee.
Mayor Daly noted that a member of the public wished to speak.
Miriam Kaywood, Anaheim (former City Council Member). She is concerned and
questioned, with the County's bankruptcy, are they looking to replace
professionals on the Investment Review Committee with volunteer amateurs who
may or may not know one thing about a City.
Council Member Zemel. It is a Commission devised to create a check and
balance. Those same professionals are still going to be on the Job and doing
their part.
Mrs. Kaywood continued that she is very concerned that, considering the amount
of money Anaheim deals with in investments on a regular basis, they make
certain they have somebody who is going to be involved for a long time, not a
"revolving door" situation such as with the Budget Advisory Commission that
"disappeared".
Mayor Daly. As he understands the proposal, citizens would be invited to
participate in the oversight of Anaheim's investments and at the same time the
professionals responsible for initiating the investment strategies will still
be involved. There will be no decrease in the level of activity and
oversight.
Council Member Tait. This is an advisory body to the Council with no
authority to change investment policy.
council Member Lopez suggested that they table the matter to a future time in
order to have further discussion. They Just appointed a new Budget Advisory
Commission last week. He agrees that they need experts and to leave the big
decisions to the people who are paid to make those decisions. He would like
to see the investment assignment delegated to the Budget Advisory Commission.
Mayor Daly. The Council can keep that in mind as they continue to discuss the
new Investment Advisory Commission and evaluate the citizens who have
expressed interest. Otherwise, the only recommended action has been
implemented, since the ordinance has been offered for first reading by Council
Member Zemel.
Council Member Zemel. The idea is to keep politics out of it. They wanted a
Budget Advisory Commission that was set to take new direction from a new
Council. He does not want to see the Council turn political. The Investment
Advisory Commission is probably the single-most innovative piece of work that
a Council has done in Orange County to protect itself from the debacle that
took place at the County level. It is a perfectly innocent commission
designed Just to protect the citizen's money. He wants the City to keep going
forward and hopes for the best next week.
Cl.(b)
Council Member Zemel. On this item, he is merely going to ask to get a copy
of staff direction already given or suggested for the Budget Advisory
17

commission and the Council can either delete, add to or accept those next
week.
City Manager Ruth. He has a draft ready and it can be presented to the
Council by next week for their consideration.
MOTION. Council Member Zemel moved to continue the subject discussion for one
week and to receive from the City Manager his thoughts on direction of the
Budget Advisory Commission. Mayor Daly seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

PUBLIC HEARING - CITY BUDGET~ To consider the proposed 1995/1996 Budget Plan.
FISCAL YEAR 1995/96 DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETWORKSHOPI
City Manager, James Ruth. This is a public hearing to review and adopt the
City's 1995/96 Budget pursuant to City Charter Section 1202, 1203 and 1204.
The City Council has been provided the proposed budget document and supporting
documents and information which has been available since May 9, 1995 for
public inspection. Following today'8 presentations and public input, the
hearing will be continued to June 13, 1995 and then to June 20, 1995 and may,
at Council's discretion, be continued to subsequent dates but adopted prior to
July 1, 1995 and still meet City Charter requirements.
City Manager Ruth then briefed portions of his budget transmittal letter dated
May 1, 1995 on pages 4 through 7 of the City of Anaheim Annual Budget Document
-1995/96 - 1996/97. (See full text which covered all aspects of the proposed
budget -- continuing challenges, efforts made to reduce overhead while
maintaining delivery of municipal services, how the general fund is being
balanced, the outlook and substantial accomplishments despite serious
financial difficulties). His presentation was supplemented by slides. He
noted with the State's economic condition stabilizing, the City is returning
to a two-year budget process but only the proposed 1995/96 budget can be
adopted as provided in the City Charter.
The proposed Citywide budget for FY1995/96 totals $573,416,362 which
represents a reduction of $53,094,954 (approximately 8.5%) from the
adopted/adjusted budget due largely to lower expenditures in Public Utilities.
The proposed General Fund budget for FY1995/96 totals $132,670,013
representing a reduction of $4,174,546 (approximately 3.1%) from the FY1994/95
adopted/adjusted budget due to lower contributions to reserves, including
retired medical, and also facility improvements.
Bill Sweeney, Budget and Audit Manager. He gave an in-depth overview of the
budget supplemented by slides, hard copies of which were submitted to the
Council and available for the public. His presentation reviewed the total
City budget, all funds and operations and the discretionary portion of the
City budget (total City revenues and expenditures by fund, full-time Position
comparisons, full-time funded position comparisons 90/91, 2,239 actual through
95/97 proposed, 2,046, general fund revenues and expenditures, Transient
Occupancy Tax, Sales Tax, Property Tax and Business License Revenues - 89/90
C~TY OF ANAHE~ CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL ~INUTE8 - ~une 6, ~995
actual through 96/97 proposed.) Relative to balancing the General Fund, the
projected $8 million deficit for FY95-96 will be made up with $1 million in
expenditure reductions (includes health insurance cost reductions), $4 million
in reduced contributions to reserves (includes decreasing reserves for retired
employees), and $3 million in one-time monies.
Questions were then posed by Council Members relative to tax revenues that
come to the City, which were answered by both Mr. Sweeney and Dave Morgan,
Assistant City Manager.
Mr. Ruth introduced the Assistant City Manager to begin departmental
presentations.
Dave Morgan, Assistant City Manager. He briefed the City Council budget
consisting of Legislation and Con~aunity Promotion (see budget page 28). The
Community Promotion program provides financial support to the Visitor and
Convention Bureau and Mr. Charles Ahlers, President of the Bureau, is present
to give a report.
Mr. Charles Ahlers, President, Anaheim and Orange County Visitor and
Convention Bureau. (His report was supplemented by slides). He gave an
overview and briefing of the visitor and convention activities noting the
tremendous growth in V&C business from 1966 to 1994 with a 7% increase in
1994 over 1993 and 1995, year-to-date looking good as well. He also reviewed
new strategies being implemented including a new consumer advertising campaign
and the addition of a representative on the East Coast to increase their
tourism promotion account. He noted that competition has increased
dramatically as shown graphically in one of the slides especially in the area
of lobby and meeting space. He applauded the City for moving forward with the
Convention Center expansion which he feels is necessary to keep pace with the
competition.
City Attorney, Jack White. It would be in order at this point to adjourn the
Special Meeting and subsequently to convene the regular meeting of
June 6, 1995.
