Legislation to prohibit transfer of municipal utility revenue amended to
reflect Anaheim's position and to exempt charter cities.
Sex Oriented Businesses - update on what has occurred as a result of
amendmen~ to allow regulation with or without alcohol.
The 1996 proposed legislative strategy for the state was reviewed by Mr.

At the conclusion of Mr. Arnold's presentation Council Member Feldhaus stated
he was concerned that the 1996 State Legislative Strategy did not include Sex
Oriented Businesses as he still believes this to be a continuing City Council

as a City Council priority for 1996.
Mayor Daly asked whether it is advisable that the City Council Of Anaheim take
a position on the E1 Toro Airport issue. Both Mr. Arnold and Mr. Smith were

an Agreement with Edward Dietrich, dba Precision Rotor Company, for
police helicopter maintenance for a two year period, beginning December
18, 1995, with options to review for up to three additional years.
Council Member Zemel. He requested when the Council is asked to waive a
Council Policy that they be provided with a copy of that policy. He asked why
Council Policy 306 was being waived in this instance.
Diane Hughart, Purchasing Agent. Policy 306 sets forth purchasing procedures,
one being that the Purchasing Department advertise for bids if the procurement
is going to be $50,000 or more but that the requirement may be waived by a
majority vote of the Council. In this case, there is a rather limited scope
of people who can perform the work. The current company is very competitive
and has a background working on the helicopters used by the Police Department.
City Manager, James Ruth. The company has an excellent staff and provide
service around the clock. The Police Department is very comfortable with
them. As long as they are cost-competitive, the Police prefer not to change
the maintenance supplier.
Al0. 117: Delaying the review of the 1995/1996 Investment Policy (to be
submitted to Council for review by March 31, 1996).
Council Member Zemel. He would like to see the Investment Policy submitted by

Charlene Jung, City Treasurer. The policy is already drafted and ready to go.
There is new legislation to be effective January 1, 1996 which still has
"gray" areas and there has been feedback that there might be some changes in

ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 18 TO REZONE PROPERTY UNDER RECLASSIFICATION
NO. 95-96-01 LOCATED AT 423 AND 427 SOUTH LEMON STREET FROM THE CG ZONE
TO THE RM-1200 ZONE.
Council Member Feldhaus posed questions to staff relative to the proposed
ordinance for purposes of clarification which were answered by Greg Hastings,
Zoning Division Manaqer.
Council Member Feldhaus. He has concerns with this proposed ordinance
relative to the high density that would be allowed if adopted~ Council Member
Lopez stated he did as well.
Mayor Daly. He asked if the Council would like to refer the matter back to
the Planning Commission.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. He needs to consult with the City Attorney. It
came through for a rezoning Public Hearing before the Planning Commission.
The ordinance is to enact that rezoning. Theoretically, he believes it is
possible but needs some advice from the City Attorney.
City Attorney White. There is a procedure built into the code. If the
Council fails to enact the ordinanc® based upon the prior resolution adopted
by the Planning Commission, that triggers the process which would set this
automatically for a future City Council hearing to determine whether or not
the prior resolution should be rescinded, and the process stopped' at that
point. The only decision tonight is whether to introduce the ordinance. If
not introduced by the Council, then the provisions in the municipal code will
go into effect.
No Council Member offered the ordinance for first reading; therefore, a Public
Hearing will be scheduled before the Council at a later date.

Joel Fick Planning Director explained that if the CUP is approved, in
accordance with the conditions set forth by the Planning Commission detailed
plans as to site development would be required to be submitted to the Planning
Commission to determine substantial conformance, and the Community
Redevelopment Co~ission would review these as well.
Wally Courtney. This is a good location for a restaurant but the larger sit-
down operations such as Claim Jumper, Norm's or California Pizza Kitchen, are
not excited because of the demographics. In order for this location to make
economic sense for independent ~perators they need the drive-through
component.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Irv Pickler, 2377 Mall Avenue, Anaheim. He was concerned because the parcel
in question is on Anaheim Boulevard which is a gateway into the City,
therefore he considers its development very important. He stressed that the
Council needs to see specific plans before anything is approved.
There being no additional spea~ers, the Mayor gave the applicant an
opportunityto rebut and summarize.
Glen Hellyer stated that his clients are seeking the Council's guidance about
what is right for that corner, if this is not the appropriate plan. The
owners have waited a number of years~ they have cleaned the property up from
being a gas station~ they hold a conditional use permit for another gas
station, and hsve been in escrow twice for fast food and gas station. His
clients would like a decision at least as to what Council would approve for
this parcel.
Mayor Daly closed the public hearing.

all full-time employees

City's Street Maintenance Division at this time.

Mr. Brewer stated that relative to recommendation no. 2 above, the Budget
Advisory Commission has a sub committee charged with the responsibility to
review privatization activities. This sub committee as well as the Commission
have been exposed to a great deal of relevant information and as a result have
been impressed With the management style and interest taken in the Street
Maintenance Division and feel there is' no further value in pursuing
privatization of this effort.
Motion was made by Council Member Zemel, seconded by Council Member Lopez to
discontinue privatization efforts in connection with the Street Maintenance
Division. Motion Carried.
With regard to recommendation no. 1 above, Mr. Brewer commented that payroll
and payroll-related costs are 70 to 75% of the City's total expenditures and
therefore the Budget Advisory Commission recognizes that employee compensation
is a critical factor in the financial health of the City. The Budget
Advisory Commission has discussed the possibility of preparing a disclosure
report and have been informed it would be possible to create one by bargaining
unit and by job classification, leaving out personal identification. Due to
the nature of certain job classifications there will be instances where it
will be public knowledge as to who is in the position. The Commission is of
the opinion that whether the City wants to make this disclosure o'r not, the
political climate will force it. It is therefore the recommendation of the
Budget Advisory Commission that such a disclosure report be prepared and made
available through the City Clerk's Office by March 31 of each year, containing
information from the previous year's records.
MOTION= Council Member Zemel moved to support and accept the recommendation
of the Budget Advisory Commission with regard to disclosure of total
compensation packages, by March 31st of each year. Council Member Tait
seconded the motion. Motion Carried.
MOTION= Motion was'made by Council Member Zemel, seconded by Council Member
Tait, to instruct the Budget Advisory Commission to continue to compare this
City information with compensation packages in the private sector. Motion
Carried.

HEARING SET ON= A review of the Planning Commission's decision requested by
Council Members Lopez and Tait at the meeting of November 7, 1995, and Public
Hearing scheduled this date.
PUBLIC NOTICE REOUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin - November 23, 1995.
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - November 17, 1995.
Posting of property - November 22, 1995.
STAFF INPUT:
See staff report to the Planning Department dated July 10, 1995.
Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager, summarized that there are no specific
plans submitted with the proposal before the City Council at this time. The
applicant is seeking approval prior to the client or tenant being involved.
Approval was therefore conditioned at the Planning Commission to receipt of
final plans prior to construction and with review of colors, materials and
signs to be used. There are no code waivers requested. There is a request to
rezone the property from CG to CL. CL is more traditional zoning and would be
recommended due to enhanced landscaping and setback requirements.
In response to Mayor Daly, Mr. Hastings advised that this parcel is in the
Anaheim Boulevard Redevelopment Corridor~ and that a restaurant would be a
permitted use in either the CG or CL zone~ the aspect of this which would
require a CUP is the drive-through portion and the outdoor patio area. As to
other uses - a gas station, mini-mart or strip commercial - all would require
a CUP.
Applicant: Glen Hellyer 1225 West Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim. He is
representing the owners of the property. The request is for a sit-down
restaurant of over 3,000 sq. ft. with a drive-through component. The 3,000
sq. ft. size makes this not a true fast-food operation. He has researched the
market, and any independent restaurant will need the drive-through component
to be viable because of the relatively low activity in the area in the
evenings. There is no request for assistance from Redevelopment associated
with this project.

CITY OF ]tNAIIEXM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 5, 1995
Council Member Zemel stated this issue is not about requiring sprinklers in a
new tract of homes, that decision was made years ago by prior City Councils.
The portion of this recommendation which he disagrees with is where a home may
be destroyed 75% (or remodeled) and on the rebuilding the homeowner is
required to install fire sprinklers, because to him that is an infringement of
property rights. He is willing to support the remainder of the
recommendations with this exclusion.
Jack White, City Attorney explained that to'incorporate this change will
require the Council re-introduce the regular ordinance with the requested
amendment and then carry it over for adoption next week. The adoption of the
urgency ordinance would be carried over as well, and the changes made to it
for adoption next week. This would still allow the Council to meet the
timetable of having the ordinances adopted and effective within the 120-day
period.
Motion was made by Council Member Zemel, seconded by Council Member Tait to
direct staff to revise the ordinances to include the changes recommended by
staff with the exception of the requirement for sprinklers in residential
homes where there has been extensive damage or remodeling.
Prior to voting on the motion, Council Member Feldhaus pointed out that in
older sections of the City where homes are in close proximity, he would not be
in favor of the removal of the sprinkler requirement. Further he noted, that
when he was building property it cost $75 each for fire sprinkler heads, it
now costs less than $1 per square foot to install fire sprinklers, which is a
dramatic change.
Council Member Tait stated that Mr. Zemel's amendment makes these ordinances
more in line with the code and more uniform with 28 of the other 31 cities in
Orange County, and he believes strongly in uniformity.
Council Member Zemel, upon learning that a multi-family or commercial
property, should it burn down, there is no present requirement for these to
have sprinklers included on the rebuilding, and that the amendment under
discussion would place this requirement into the code, stated he was under the
impression the amendment related only to single family residential. Since he
was not clear now on what the staff is recommending he withdrew his motion,
and suggested they not approve any amendments until the Council and staff have
appropriate and agreed upon language and'it is clear to the Council what they
are voting for.
Mayor Daly stated that he feels one of the reasons this is a difficult process
is because three things are combined~ the uniform code itself, the prior
Anaheim amendments~ and the proposed new amendments. He suggested that if
there was a way to set these up on the agenda so that each of those portions
were separate, the Council might have an easier time in their deliberations.
City Attorney Jack White stated it is possible to set these out separately as
the Mayor has suggested.
Motion was made by Mayor Daly, seconded by Council Member Tait to continue
items D1 and D2 for one week and to direct staff to bring back to the City
Council, the Uniform Fire and Building Codes separated as indicated to the
adoption of the code itself~ the adoption of the prior Anaheim amendments~ and
the adoption of the proposed new Anaheim amendments. (The Public Hearing had
previously been closed and was continued as a closed hearing.)
Motion Carried.

INVOCATION:
Reverend Adam D. McCoy, St. Michaels Episcopal Church, gave the

CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 5, 1995
arts agency that raises funds to turn back to the community. They have
contributed nearly one-half million dollars in the past 22 years, not
including in-kind services and the time and energy expended. At this point,
they have reached a serious stumbling block and they are present today to
present the reasons why it is necessary to have a Cultural Plan for Anaheim.
Presentations were then made by Elsie Reid, Business Committee Chair, who
spoke relative to their partnership with the business community; Mrs. Mayer
gave a presentation on where the Arts Council will be going, 1995 to 2010.
Mrs. Mayer stated the reason they are present is that they are short on
resources in several areas. In the new grant language, the Cultural ArtB
Council qualifies for grant funding both at the California Arts Council level
and the national level. The new language in the last couple of years in all
grant applications states an organization must have or must currently be in
the process of completing a community cultural plan. The Arts Council feels a
lot of the elements are already in place. She then briefed research they had
done relative to cultural plans in other cities. The plan in Anaheim will be
what they make of it and it can involve many elements. What the Arts Council
needs as the City Council's Advisory Board is direction from the Council to
move forward on the plan and to work in partnership with City staff to develop
such a plan.
The balance of the workshop was devoted to questions by Council Members
wherein the Mayor asked in creating a city-wide Cultural Plan, it is important
to know, (1) what type of time frame did the Arts Council have in mind, (2)
what type of product the plan should be, (3) what resources are needed that
they do not now have and, (4) how can the Council help -- how specific a
direction does the Arts Council need.
Mrs. Mayer emphasized a key element is that there be a partnership with City
staff. Only a city-wide plan can pull all the resources together. The first
step would be naming an appropriate department. In Los Angeles and Santa Ana,
it is through the Community Development Department. In San Diego, it is a
stand-alone Cultural Affairs Department.
After additional discussion between Council Members and Mrs. Mayer, Chris
Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services stated he feels a
Cultural Plan is an idea whose time has come. As staff, they have not been
given a great deal of direction in terms of working in the cultural arts.
When the arts were divided and the Arts Council set up, it was pretty much up
to the Arts Council to do their own thing. He feels it is time to come back
to the City Council with a proposal or work plan on how to achieve a Cultural
Arts Plan. If the Council agrees, they would be working with the Arts Council
to do that.
Council Member Feldhaus. He would hope the plan would include a cultural arts
center or a performing arts center~ Chris Jarvi. At this time, they have no
way to predict what the plan will say. The idea is to put it together to see
what it is.
Mayor Daly. The Council will look forward to the initial staff recommendation
and milestone report. He thanked the members of the Arts Council for an
informative presentation and for the attendance of those organizations who are
vital to the cultural activities in the City.
Council Member Tait stated that one of his priorities is the revenue-neutral
restructuring of state government.
Council Member Zemel stated that the City Council may be missing an
opportunity for support for the Federal INS pilot program, especially since
the Governor has come out on immigration issues previously. Anaheim should be
able to get a resolution from the legislature to support its pilot project.
Council Member Tait asked for and received an update on the signage request
made by the City of Anaheim to CalTrans.
Council Member Zemel stated that the Council could be more proactive about
testifying in Sacramento on issues.
139~ Federal Legislative Activity: .
Mayor Daly noted that the portion of the meeting concerning state issues was
concluded and invited Del Smith and his colleagues to report on the status of
federal issues.
Overview on important political conditions in Washington which wall affect
outcomes was given in a presentation by Val Genovatch. She commented on the
Federal Budget, the situation in Bosnia, and in particular the work E. Del
Smith & Company has done on the telecommunications issue~ and the City of
Anaheim INS Project.
Meg Allen spoke to transportation issues, electrical utilities restructuring
and a bill in the Justice Department to fund additional Police.
At the conclusion of the presentation, Mr. Smith reiterated that he knows the
E1 Toro Airport is a high priority for Anaheim, and will stress in Washington
that the two largest industries in California are tourism and agriculture, and
the airport is of high importance in the tourism picture for Southern
California.
There being no further business, the City Council adjourned by general
consensus.
Adjourned: 11:52 a.m.
