A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was
posted at 2:50 p.m. on September 22, 1995 at the Civic Center kiosk,
containing all items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the workshop portion of the meeting of September 26, 1995 to
order at 3:10 P.M.
City Manager, James Ruth. The subject of the workshop today is the Parks
Master Plan. Chris Jarvi will make the presentation giving an overview of the
City's parks system and future plans for expansion and development.
150~ PARKS MASTER PLANs Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and
Community Services. Mr. Jarvi's presentation (supplemented by slides showing
aerial and other views of City parks as well as graphs) covered park
standards, public attitudes toward parks, current trends in usage, a history
of park capital expenditures, park deficiencies, park and parkway development
funding sources, impact of the budget on park maintenance and operations and
current accomplishments and future issues facing the City with regard to park
and parkway development. In contrasting the supply and demand side of the
City's parks - on the supply side, Anaheim has a different standard than the
national standard which is two acres per 1,000 population compared to four
acres per 1,000 nationally. He categorized the types of parks in the City --
eleven community parks (drive-to parks), neighborhood parks (walk-to parks),
special-use parks, parkways and green spaces, regional parks, 55 scheduled
fields for recreational purposes, and the City deals with seven school
districts where there are 20 schools next to parks.
On the demand side, the facilities most in need of expansion are for teens,
children and a tremendous need for additional indoor space. There is a
growing senior population, youngsters involved in roller hockey and a move
toward more group vs. individual activities. Relative to capital expenditures
over the last decade, a lot of money goes into the rehabilitation of existing
facilities - replacement of play equipment and ball field lighting, building
out of parks, adding amenities or upgrading. He then briefed parkland
acquisition (new parks added to the system) and parkland deficiencies
particularly in central and west Anaheim. He reported that they are looking
at the Taylor Lumber site (Manchester and Walnut Streets) and the Lemon Street
CITY OF ANAHEIM~ CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 26t 1995
site for possible new park developments. The new parks in the hill and canyon
area are the Summit, a 16-acre park, 5 acres of which have been developed. In
the Mountain Park development there are five new planned parks of 44 acres.
All of those parks will be "turn key", i.e., the developer will be developing
them and subsequently turning them over to the City to maintain.
He then addressed funding sources for park acquisition and development, Park
planning and development revenues (FY1990-91-1995-96), cost of acquisition and
development 1978 to present, and funding sources for parkways, medians and
beautification projects, noting that there is no money to rehabilitate/fund
the latter. There has been an increase of 17% in park acreage from 1982 to
1995 while at the same time full-time employee hours have decreased by 31%.
The department is contracting more, utilizing new efficiencies in water and
electrical utilities, new work methods and better equipment but are still
having to cut maintenance which will become more obvious as time goes on
especially in tree trimming, plant replacement, repairs, etc.
In concluding, he stated while it appears they are meeting their standard of
two acres of parkland per 1,000 population, the acreage is not evenly
distributed and there are real deficiencies in the downtown area. They are
reaching the limit of the ability to continually absorb newly acquired park
and median acreage. The quality of maintenance will continue to go down as
they are asked to do more and more as time goes on. Consistent funding for
park acquisition and parkway development and the traditional funding sources
are drying up. Park development fees have had to be used for park
rehabilitation whereas originally they were established to develop new parks.
The department has a proud legacy of having one of the best parks and
recreation programs in the country.
Mr. Jarvi's presentation was followed by questions from Council Members on
several aspects of the information presented as well as other park issues such
as concern over the criminal activity at LaPalma Park and other activities
that keep citizens away from their parks. Council Member Feldhaus broached
the subject of the homeless at Pearson Park where they have all the amenities
they need to make it home. He feels something needs to be done. This is
another situation which keeps people away from the parks.
City Attorney White. The homeless are not entitled to live in the parks but
are entitled to use them as any other citizens. The City does not have to
provide a residence and other cities have tried to address this as well. The
problem is finding some alternative. The cities that have been most
successful are those that have actually found some alternative shelter to
provide rather than simply outlawing them and using the Police to keep them
out.
Council Member Feldhaus. People deserve to feel comfortable going into the
park and he feels it is something they really need to look at. Citizen
taxpayers need to take back their parks.
Additional questions and discussion then followed on the issue of safety in
the City's parks and what is being done at this time with the limited
resources available.
Mayor Daly thanked Mr. Jarvi and his staff for an informative presentation.
He pointed out, as brought out earlier in the presentation, Mr. Jarvi
confirmed it is fair to say that Anaheim's park system continues to be one of
the best in Orange County.

ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA:
There were no additions to agenda items.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST: Robert Patterson, 1301 Carmela Lane, LaHabra 90631.
He is a Senior Industrial Engineer by profession but because of health
problems and subsequently the inability to then find work in his field, in
1994, he applied to the City for a position in crowd control at the Convention
Center. In January, he was indoctrinated for his position. He questioned
what is, "the Anaheim Way" and can the City arbitrarily change rules
retroactively to a dress code that existed many years ago. The Manager of the
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 26, t995
Convention Center/Anaheim Stadium recently issued an edict that all employees
of the Convention Center conform to such a dress code which has not been in
effect for at least seven years at the Convention Center or be terminated. No
such code was a condition of his hiring. Me then read a statement from the
Crowd Control Handbook -- "a clean, neat, well-groomed appearance is
absolutely .essential." He then submitted a photo of himself before he went on
duty since he was hired with a beard. Since he conformed to all requirements -
in practice at the time of his hire, he sees no reason for what he considers
discrimination against his appearance. The notice he received dated September
7, 1995 was given to all crowd control staff. He then read the grooming
standards expected and the disciplinary actions that will be taken if there is
non conformance by October, 1995. The previous Manager and Assistant Manager
at the Convention Center received several commendations from exhibitors on his
(Patterson's) performance where he has been of help and has done an exemplary
job. It is strictly his beard that they don't like. He likes his position
and would hate to leave it.
Mayor Daly. He will ask the City Manager to provide some additional data to
the City Council on the subject. There has been a management change at the
Convention Center as he is aware. He appreciates Mr. Patterson's thoughts on
the new grooming policy. The Council will ask the City Manager to provide
some of the background and context of the new policy.
Amin David, 419 S. Cole, Anaheim. He would like to show a three-minute video
and is asking the Council's indulgence.
Mayor Daly interjected and stated they might have some information that might
be helpful to Mr. David. He knows the video is regarding the Officer Nolan
situation. He would first like the City Attorney to summarize the current
state of that situation because it is a legal matter.
City Attorney White. Some time ago, there was a personnel matter involving
Officer Steve Nolan of the Anaheim Police Department. As part of a personnel
hearing which was not open to the public, there was a 2,500 page transcript
comprising 16 volumes of testimony. Because it involved a personnel matter,
the City up to now has taken the position it was not disclosable as a public
record because it was part of the personnel file and proceedings involving
Mr. Nolan. Currently, there are two pending legal matters involving Mr.
Nolan. One is, after he was reinstated to his position in the Police
Department, he filed a petition for disability retirement that is now pending
with the Worker's Compensation Appeals Board which will be the subject of a
hearing in November. The second was when Mr. Nolan retained legal counsel and
filed a law suit against the City that is currently pending alleging a hostile
work environment as a result of some of his experiences in the Police
Department. Up to now, Mr. Nolan, nor his legal counsel, have had a copy of
the transcript of that personnel proceeding. He knows that Mr. David was
interested at one time and is undoubtedly still interested in obtaining a copy
of that transcript. The City's position has been that was not public at this
time, one of the reasons being Mr. Nolan did not have a copy and could not
review it and because of the prohibitive cost of approximately $6,000 for the
transcription. This week, the City through the normal discovery processes in
the law.suit that Mr. Nolan has brought, has agreed to voluntarily provide to
Nolan and his attorney a copy of that transcript. Because it contains matters
that could be regarded as an invasion of his privacy or the privacy of others
who testified at the hearing, the City has not recommended that the transcript
be made public as a public record. Because Mr. Nolan is being provided with a
CITY OF ANAHEIMv CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
copy which should happen in the next few days, there is an ability for anyone
who is interested to obtain that through Mr. Nolan, should he desire to
release it. Because it involves matters that are of a nature that could be
argued to involve privacy rights, if it is to be released, Mr. Nolan would be
the appropriate one to make it available.
Mayor Daly. He explained to Mr. David that he wanted to provide him with an
update before the video.
The video tape was then shown. It was a news report done by Channel 9
involving an arrest by Officer Nolan of a 16-yr. old gang member on suspicion
of robbery. In the video, Officer Nolan relayed what occurred after the
arrest. The suspect was eventually never charged with anything. The report
brought out that Officer Nolan, instead of being awarded for coming forward
relative to what happened to the suspect upon his arrest, was suspended. The
report alleged a code of silence in the Police Department.
Amin David. In May of 1993, he announced what he termed the Anaheim cover up
calendar and there has been 126 official days of a code of silence since then.
The issue of Steve Nolan with respect to the claims against the City is not
his primary focus but that two suspects were beaten while in custody and that
has been covered up. They are sure that the information that the Council and
Police Chief are sitting on will be public, but the longer the "cover up", the
more their civic reputation will suffer. Los Amigos of Orange County
challenges the Council to begin to clarify its position. He asked if they
will declare zero tolerance for Police misconduct and racial and gender bias
in Anaheim law enforcement and set an example by breaking the code of silence
and make requested transcripts and exhibits public. That is his position. Me
cannot make it more clear. The issue is, what happened to those two
youngsters when they were in custody. They were juveniles at that time. Only
the transcript will bring it out and that is what they need.
Mayor Daly. As the City Attorney has summarized, the transcript is about to
be made available at the request of Mr. Nolan's Attorney, to Mr. Nolan. The
City Attorney has indicated his on-going concerns that privacy is an issue in
this matter because of the personnel issues involved.
********************
Norma Rodriguez. She is asking the status of the Anaheim Mentor Partnership
Program under the direction of Jim Walker, Debbie Moore and a few others she
has met with before regarding the program. She wants to know if that program
is working. The City of Anaheim is working together with the Anaheim Union
School District in recruiting mentors from the Anaheim community to work with
"mentees" from the school district. She would like to know the status. She
did hear one of the reasons why it wasn't coming about quickly was financial.
She also asked the target date the City has for this program to finally come
together.
Mayor Daly. He asked her to leave her address with the City Clerk's Office.
They will make sure she is provided with some type of update -- where the
program stands and where it is in the process. The Council is to be copied on
any response.

Inc., for an extension of consulting services on an as-needed basis
for a period of one year, in an amount not to exceed $75,000.
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
Council Member Zemel. He posed questions relative to policy and procedure on
extensions of contracts and if they are automatic and expected.
Russ Maguire, Deputy City Engineer. In this case, the original selection
process was for a base one-year contract with the ability to extend for two
additional consecutive years at the City's discretion. The consultant
involved has always provided excellent work for the City at a reasonable
price; Council Member Zemel. He is sure the quality is excellent but if they
k~ow it is ongoing, then it is really not a $75,000 contract but it could be
$150,000 or $375,000, real money where the Council should be involved in
approval.
Russ Maguire. When the original contract came before the Council., it was an
initial $75,000 with the ability to extend at the City's discretion for an
additional two years for that cumulative total. Last year, they only used 14%
of the contract.
City Manager Ruth then answered additional questions posed relative to the bid
process and determining what qualifications the architect might have.

year (the amount of FY 1994/95 funds requested for reappropriation to
FY1995/96 - to be carried forward to the 1995/96 fiscal year).
Council Member Tait. He is looking for more clarification and asked how this
coincides with the 1995-96 budget.
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
City Manager Ruth. It will not affect the 1995-96 budget at all. These are
legal obligations the City is committed to. They are all past expenditures
and all approved in last year's budget where for a variety of reasons the
project did not get completed. There is nothing new included.
All.

106: Decreasing FY1995/96 budget appropriations in the
Administration Department by $4,987,944 and increasing FY 1995/96
budget appropriations in the Finance Department by $4,987,944.
Al3.
106: Appropriating $156,000 in additional expenditure authority for
the City Attorney's Office, and $2,661,000 in additional expenditure
authority for the Fire Department ($16,000 for Fire Operations and
$2,645,000 for disaster-related expenditures).
See staff report dated September 14, 1995 from the Finance Director
recommending the subject action.
Mayor Daly. He noted from the staff report in one location it indicates the
disaster related expenses are in the Fire Budget and another in the Disaster
Services budget. He wanted to make sure they are not retroactively increasing
the Fire Budget by 2.6 million dollars; City Manager Ruth assured him that was
not the case. The money is being recovered through FEMA and insurance. It is
a 100% cost offset.
Both City Manager Ruth and the Finance Director, Bill Sweeney then explained
how the expenditures were allocated and why; Fire Chief Bowman noted that the
bill is actually for the 1993-94 close of fiscal year when the City of Orange
provided the management for the City's communications center for the four
cities involved which he explained in detail. The final billing that actually
occurred was less than what the City was originally billed. Anaheim, now as
managers of the center are receiving like revenues. Because it took a while to
get the matter resolved, it is showing up in the 1994-95 budget as a
carryover.
Al4.
150: To Consider Approving the Memorandum of Understanding with the
Orange County Probation Department for the Crime Prevention
Demonstration Grant application; and authorizing the City Manager to
execute said MOU.
City Manager Ruth. Staff is requesting that this item be removed from the
agenda. They were informed by the Orange County Probation Department that the
request for the grant has been rejected by the Department of Justice so there
is no need for the MOU.

expires June 30, 1996. This matter was continued from the meetings

Mayor Daly opened nominations.
Council Member Zemel nominated Mr. Bruce Solari. He explained for Mayor Daly
that Mr. Solari, although recently appointed to the Community Services Board,
at the time wanted to be on the Budget Advisory Commission but the seats had

CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
Council Member Lopez nominated Shirley McCracken.
Council Member Zemel. He would like to comment before any action is taken.
They have just lost an extreme conservative member of the Commission by the
resignation of Ben Bay. He feels it is important for the Council to remember
that while they appreciate the service and help rendered by Mrs. McCracken,
she was the Chairman when the Commission recommended a utilities tax increase
which he believes was to 4%. He hopes that the Council will continue to try
to appoint anti-tax conservatives to the Commission in order to go forward
with the task at hand. The City just received legal bills in the amount of
$24,763 necessary to defend the City when Mrs. McCracken sued the City on a
technicality. The Council should take that into consideration.
There were no further nominations.
MOTION. On motion by Mayor Daly seconded by Council Member Feldhaus,
nominations were closed. MOTION CARRIED.
Council Member Tait. He would like to see someone from the hotel industry or
Visitor and 'Convention Bureau on the Commission. Traditionally, that has been
the case. He would like the position to remain vacant until someone comes
forward from those groups.
Council Member Zemel. He met with the industry last week on this issue. The
problem is they do not have any Anaheim residents in the hotel-motel industry
and the current position has to be filled by an Anaheim resident. Someone who
wants to serve is Bill O'Connell but he lives in Orange. Bob Zonitch is the
only one who is an Anaheim resident and businessman but he cannot serve at
this time.
Council Member Tait. He would like to see Bill O'Connell on the Commission.
Perhaps the matter can be continued and the ordinance changed from the

City Attorney White confirmed that a motion to continue will take precedence
over any other motion.
MOTION. Council Member Tait moved to continue the appointment to the Budget
Advisory Commission for one month. The motion died for lack of a second.
Mayor Daly. He feels they need to fill the vacancy this evening. He agrees
it would be desirable to have someone from the tourism industry on the
Commission. They had a representative from that industry who chose not to
serve any longer. He feels there will be opportunities in the future and also
they should find an appropriate representative from the tourist industry;
however, the Commission needs to be fully staffed with all the citizen
volunteers it needs. He called for a vote on the nominees in the order in
which they were nominated.
City Attorney White. It will take three yes votes to appoint, and abstentions
do not count as yes votes.

Those waivers are no longer applicable. Item a. which is the required
landscape setback, pertains solely to the fact that it is more technical in
nature and it pertains to the existing building. The church will be going
into the existing building which happens to have that setback which is not
conforming. There was no time limit placed on this application. The church
is purchasing the property so they are interested in the long-term
establishment of the church. His recollection is that the location is just
outside of the Redevelopment area. Relative to signage, there was no sign
application submitted. Signs will have to conform with all standards and no
additional signs were proposed.

108~ CONSIDERATION OF A DRAFT ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM'MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO DANCE HAT~.S AND ENTERTAINMENT AND AMUSEMENT FACILITIES
AND TITLE 4 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO DANCE
HAT3.S/DINNER DANCING PLACES.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Recommended adoption to the City Council.
Council Member Feldhaus. He asked for clarification if by this ordinance they
are saying that a dinner dancing place cannot charge a fee or would a dinner
dancing place have to apply for and obtain a Public Dance Hall permit in
addition to their restaurant and bar permit in order to be able .to charge a
fee for dancing.
City Attorney White. A dinner dancing place is a place that would not charge
any admission or cover charge in order to dance. If there is a cover or
admission charge, they would be categorized as a Public Dance Hall and a CUP
would be required. If there is a restaurant and another place in. the building
where there is dancing, or people charged a cover charge to dance, it would be
necessary to have another permit as a dance hall. If there was no fee, they
could have a restaurant and bar and allow dancing without a fee. Based on
past experience, the City has found places that charge fees, whether a dance
hall or called something else, those establishments typically have different
problems than a restaurant that simply has a dance band in the restaurant. A
CUP provides the ability to control things such as parking, security, etc.,
and that is the intent of the ordinance.
Mayor Daly offered Ordinance No. 5526 for first reading.

PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See staff report to the Planning Commission dated August 7, 1995
Council Member Tait declared a conflict of interest on this item since his
firm provides civil engineering services to the applicant. (Council Member
Tait temporarily left the Council Chamber - 6:57 p.m.).
Mayor Daly. When he set the matter for a Public Hearing, his concerns were
over the intensified use at a very important intersection in the City. He
wanted to review.in detail the building design, site plan, traffic
circulation, landscaping, signage and all the other important details of the
project. It is an important redevelopment of a major property and important
to the City's tourism area as well as the downtown area. He is pleased to
report that the applicant, the. O'Connells, and their architect gave answers to
all of his questions regarding the landscaping and design. They brought the
model this evening (displayed in the Council Chamber) which lays out the site
plan. This is a major new use for the corner and he appreciates the time that
Jerry O'Connell spent with him to explain all the details and answer all the
questions. In the interest of saving time, he reported that all of his
questions and concerns have been answered.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. The Mayor covered all of the main points that
came up at the prior discussion. (See minutes of 8/22/95). There will be a
quality monument sign at the corner, the landscaping was all interior in
nature and in exchange for that, which was a technical waiver, there has been
extensive landscaping along the perimeter including 24 box tr~es to be
installed instead of 15 gallon trees. There were also some questions about
the buildings on site and as pointed out, the existing buildings will be
removed and new buildings constructed. This is a quality project for the
site. Staff and the Planning Commission have recommended approval.
Mayor Daly opened the Public Hearing and asked to hear first from the
applicant and then anyone else who wished to speak.
Mr. Jerry O'Connell, President, Pacific Coast Sightseeing Tours and Charters-
Grey Line of Anaheim. They are proud to be in the City. They operate
sightseeing tours servicing the tourism and convention market. They are very
excited about the property and the situation because they are now on two acres
of property in Anaheim and this project will almost double their facilities.
It will enhance visitor's stay in Anaheim and also enhance the corner.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, Mayor Daly closed the
Public Hearing.
Mr. O'Connell then confirmed for the Mayor that they hope to complete the
project by the end of November.
(Council Member Tait entered the Council Chamber - 7:02).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Mayor Daly,
seconded by Council Member Zemel, the City. Council approved the negative
declaration upon finding that it has considered the negative declaration
together with any comments received during the public review process, and
further finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received
that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant
effect on the environment. Council Member Tait abstained. MOTION CARRIED.

Before concluding, Mayor Daly stated he believes they will have a much more
attractive intersection due to this project. He and Council Member Zemel were
talking about the Anaheim Boulevard landscaping program. It would be helpful
if the Council could receive a summary of all road work along Ball and Anaheim
Boulevard -- what the ultimate product is going to be of the widening and any
detail that can be provided. He knows there is also some non-City work going
on as well. He is asking for information describing the beautifications that
will be occurring at the intersection -- how far the landscaping will be
extending down Anaheim Boulevard northward toward downtown and a summary of
what has already been improved.
City Manager Ruth. Staff is studying the possibility of reallocating funds
and doing additional improvements north of Ball Road. Staff will. provide a
full report.
Cl.
174: Discussion requested by Council Member Tait at the meeting of
September 12, 1995, Item Cl, regarding the feasibility of developing
another Target Area in West Anaheim, and allocating Block Grant money
to that area.
Council Member Tait. He would like to initiate a review or analysis by staff
as to whether there are any potential neighborhoods on the west side that
would be eligible for Block Grant money. He looks forward to a report within
the next month or two if possible. His concern is that the west side seems to
be left out of the process as far as Block Grant money.
Council Member Zemel. He asked if Council Member Tait is asking to go as far
as having Neighborhood Councils in that area just as in downtown; Council
Member Tait. He feels that is an issue that might be addressed as well.
Council Member Feldhaus referred to the reports submitted by the Executive
Director of Community Development, Lisa Stipkovich (see report dated 9/20/95
with attachments including a draft report - Preliminary Evaluation - Beach
18
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
Boulevard/West Lincoln Area). She also went to the area last Wednesday and
gave a report outlining three options, one of which was CDBG; Council Member
Tait stated he had not seen the report.
Mayor Daly. He saw the same package. Perhaps the matter should be continued
for a week. Lisa Stipkovich has already submitted a lot of information and
maybe direction can be given next week based on the preliminary information
already submitted. There was no recommendation contained in the staff
material, but some analysis of what it would take to create more target areas.
MOTION. Council Member Tait moved to continue the subject for one week and at
that time the Council can give direction based on the preliminary information
submitted by staff. Council Member Zemel seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
