119: DECLARATION OF RECOGNITION: A Declaration of Recognition and
Congratulations was unanimously adopted by the City Council recognizing
Steve Magliocco, Fire Division Chief, for his 20+ years of service to the City
and to congratulate him on becoming the new Fire Chief for the City of
Vallejo.
Mayor Daly and Council Members personally congratulated Mr. Magliocco and
commended him for his dedicated service to the City and citizens of Anaheim.
They wished him well in his new position but that he will be missed in
Anaheim.
Steve convnented on his tenure with the City emphasizing the support and
encouragement he received from his colleagues all through his career with
Anaheim and especially to Council Member Bob Simpson, the City's former Fire
Chief who believed in him when he was a fairly young member of the department
and promoted him to positions of increasing responsibility leading to this
point in his career.
FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY in the amount of $1,793,931.83 for the
period ending January 28, 1994, in accordance with the 1993-94 Budget, were
approved.
Mayor Daly recessed the City Council meeting until after the Redevelopment
Agency and Housing Authority meetings. (5:43 p.m.)
Mayor Daly reconvened the City Council meeting. (5:47 p.m.)
Mayor Daly. Because Council Comments are placed at the end of the agenda, he
feels if there are comments, they do not get the attention they deserve. He
asked Council Members to consider moving the Council Comments portion of the
meeting to immediately after the Public Comments portion of the agenda. At
the end of the meeting, he will ask for feedback relative to his
recommendation.
Later in the meeting, Mayor Daly clarified for Council Member Pickler that he
would like to have Council Comments placed before the City Departmental
Consent Calendar but after Public Comments. He will discuss the
recommendation with staff and the City Attorney and would like to obtain
feedback from other Council Members before making the change. One of the
reasons is to give Council Members an opportunity to respond to comments
offered and to get more of the City's business out in the open.
Council Member Pickler stated he had no problem with the suggestion~ no action
was taken at this time.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Pedro Vasquez. He is speaking about the new street vending ordinance and is
concerned over what is going to happen under the new provisions. He feels
there will be a problem with violence. He has already seen violence almost
occur. He is concerned about the conditions that the ordinance is causing in
the community. Some of the guys (vendors) do not agree with the ordinance.
There was violence almost two times that he was witness to. He does not want
anything to happen to the drivers or any citizens. He wants peace and wants
to discuss the issues of the ordinance fairly on each side, for the City, the
vendors and the community. He would like the Council to review the ordinance.
Mayor Daly asked the specific parts of the ordinance that are troublesome to
him.
40
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 1, 1994 - 5:00 P.M.
Pedro Vasquez. The time limitations and the rates they have to pay. The fees
are twice as much as what they used to pay. They pay more than professionals
such as doctors, attorneys or big companies. They do not generate that much
money to pay up to $200 just for a business license.
Council Member Hunter. He asked for clarification that his concern is the
time limit for vending trucks of 10 minutes in one place where before it was
an hour and if that was restricting his business.
Pedro Vasquez. He confirmed that was the problem. He lost about 70% of
business himself. He cannot stay in business that way.
Mayor Daly. At the conclusion of Public Comments, he will ask John Poole, the
City's Code Enforcement Manager to comment on the experience of City staff in
enforcing this relatively new ordinance and what the communication has been
recently between Code Enforcement staff and the various street vending
business people.
Later in the meeting, John Poole, Code Enforcement Manager stated that the new
ordinance has been in effect for a few months. Council will recall it came
about after meeting with the street vendors and a lot of public comments over
the last 9 months concerning problems in the neighborhoods with street
vendors. He feels the ordinance has been working well and the 10 minute
limitation has made an improvement in those neighborhoods. The only problem
is the ability to get enough staff to cover all the hours the vendors are
there. The increased fees are the means used for increased staffing. The
City does not make any money on permit fees. Very few citations have been
issued in the last couple of months. Since the inception of the new
ordinance, probably not more than 42-50 citations have been issued and a lot
of those are to repeat offenders. There was a lot of public comment that
street vendors had to spend time in court. Therefore, they decriminalized the
citation at the same time State law allowed and if the vendors contest a
citation, the hearing officer is at City Hall and not at North Court. They
can schedule a hearing with the hearing officer. They are still getting
complaints from people wanting more enforcement. They have found when the
Code Enforcement Officers do not go out, a lot of vendors do not move. He has
tried on several occasions to meet with the group of vendors to work out some
of the problems brought up. The problem is, there is not a cohesive group of
vendors - there are just too many which causes a lot of the problems.
Everybody would benefit from fewer vendors. There would be less negative
impact and more business instead of each one trying to compete on the same
block. They have not gotten anywhere with that. He has offered Mr. Vasquez
on several occasions the chance to go out with him and view the problems. He
(Poole) feels it is not a problem that is going to go away. They have got a
good handle on it and he would not recommend changing the ordinance.
Mayor Daly. Mr. Poole mentioned the increased level of enforcement staff. He
asked if they have added staff.
John Poole. They have added part-time hours with several part-time people
working on Saturdays, Sundays and evenings.
Mayor Daly. He asked if it is still accurate to say the City spends more
money on enforcement rather than what it takes in from the vending trucks;
Mr. Poole answered, definitely.
Mayor Daly. He asked Mr. Poole at some point in the future to put his
thoughts in writing for the City Council perhaps in 6 months in terms of how
41
City Ha11~ Anaheim~ Californi& - COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 1, 1994 - 5~00 P.M.
many citations have been issued and whether he has any recommendations to make
any adjustments at that time. The bottom line is, Mr. Poole does not see the
need to fine tune the ordinance or make any changes and that at this time he
(Poole) believes it has generally a positive impact.
Mr. Poole answered that is correct.
Carol Rudat, 281 Old Bridge Road, Anaheim. She was present last week and
spoke on Item A3 regarding the public improvements to Santa Ana Canyon Road
(see minutes of January 25, 1993 where extensive input was received from not
only Mrs. Rudat but other citizens in the area). She wants to make sure it is
understood the purpose of the opposition ks that At is not to the benefit of
the entire community of Anaheim, not just Anaheim Hills. The funds are not
being directed or apportioned properly. It is not to the City's benefit to
allow the department to continue to work on this project and their time should
be spent on more productive things. She will be available to participate in
the analysis of this project so that it does not spend any unneeded time.
They do need a stop light in front of Canyon High School. She would like to
know what it would cost and if the local citizens come up with the funds, they
could hire an outside contractor to install the light. Before concluding, she
again emphasized that there is no Anaheim HAlls coalition (see minutes of
January 25, 1994) and that the City is to communicate to the entire community
and not just a hand full of individuals who think they are representing the
community.
Council Member Hunter. He understands the issue was discussed by the students
at Canyon High School and a poll was taken that they do not want the widening.
Carol Rudat. The students at Canyon High School are very involved in the
community and had previously opposed an arcade that was proposed in the center
at Imperial and La Palma (Knollwood/Cinemopolis Center). She also confirmed
for the Mayor that other aspects of the project such as beautification and
signal changes have been discussed. There already has been a dramatic
improvement from Avenida Margarita through Imperial Highway up to Via Cortez.
The City has done a fine job in that location. The one "mistake" is the City
should have just lengthened the single left turn lane into the Albertson's
shopping center to allow more cars to turn. Only one lane can be accommodated
at that location but it should be longer.
Mayor Daly. Baged on some of the concerns raised last Tuesday, staff was
directed to provide an evaluation or status report of the Mello-Roos
allocation plan indicating which projects have already been funded and
constructed and other projects such as the Santa Ana Canyon Road project which
was agreed upon five years ago. In some cases, the situation may have changed
or the community's feelings have changed. Staff is to bring the Council a
mechanism to review the whole Mello-Roos package.
City Manager Ruth. That report will be back to the Council in approximately
30 days. Staff is working on it but want to get more community input before
coming back.

City Hallf Anahe£mr Cal£~orn£a - COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 1. 1994 - 5:00 P.M.
Scott Stevens, 603 Reed Avenue, Anaheim. Relative to the street vendor issue,
he does not want to see the Council rush into making any changes to the
ordinance. A lot of people worked long and hard at it. Mr. Vasquez is going
to have to understand there are going to be some "growing pains". He would
like to see the proof that Mr. Vasquez's business has decreased by 70% because
of the ordinance.
Secondly, he is present in full support of Item Bll and C1. The Council has
the full support of the Somebody Group and the Patrick Henry Neighborhood
Council. He hopes after this is approved, that the City would vigorously
pursue options on the purchase of property for the future expansion of
La Palma Park.

C£ty Hallt Anahe£mt Cal£forn£a - COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY It 1994 - 5:00 P.M.
City Clerk Sohl. The reason they waited on waiver of the 60-day notice was so
that the Planning Commission could act and the two items brought to the
Council together in order to make some sense. This is the general plan
conformity regarding the County's request to move the office from the previous
location to 2929 E. White Star Avenue. The Planning Commission has taken that
step to determine this would be in conformance.
See remarks under Items of Public Interest by Scott Stevens regarding this
item.
No action was taken by the Council.

Annika Santalahti recommending that the Council approve the Orange County
General Services Agency request for waiver of the 60-day notice provision
required by State Government Code Section 25351.

actually accomplish the relocation of the Social Services Office.
City Manager Ruth. Staff is meeting with County staff tomorrow to lay out the
plans. If there are any issues, they will bring those back to the Council.
See remarks under Items of Public Interest by Mr. Scott Stevens on this issue.

C2. COUNCIL COMMENTS:
114: VACANCY ON BUDGET ADVISORY COMMISSION:
50
C£ty Hallr Anahe£mr Cel£forn£a - COUNCIL I~NUT~S - FEBRUARY Ir 1994 - 5s00 P.M.
Council Member Simpson. He noted that there is still a vacancy on the Budget
Advisory Commission.
City Clerk Sohl. She confirmed that is correct. A press release is being
prepared seeking additional candidates both for the Budget Advisory Commission
and the Senior Citizens Commission. She was planning to bring both of those
to the Council at one of the meetings in March.
114: NO SMOKINH ORDINANCE - ORANGE COUNTY:
Council Member Pickler. The City Attorney mentioned that the no-smoking
ordinance he was working on had been placed in the Council's mail boxes (see
minutes of January 11, 1994 where the matter was discussed). He asked if the
matter could be agendized in two or three weeks.
City Attorney White. Me did submit the ordinance which was placed in the
Council boxes late this afternoon so the Council probably has not had an
opportunity to see it. It was adopted by the County on December 13, 1993. He
prepared a matrix comparing the new County ordinance with the City's current
ordinance showing the differences between the two. If the Council wanted to
agendize the matter, they could either wait until after they have had a chance
to look at the County ordinance and perhaps next week it can be agendized for
the following week; Council Member Pickler was agreeable with the
recommendation that the matter be discussed at the next Council meeting and
any possible action to be placed on the Council agenda for the week after
next.
114: RECOGNITION FOR GUS LENAIN:
Council Member Feldhaus. He reported that Mr. Gus Lenain was very sick. As
the Council knows, Mr. Lenain was a City employee for many years and
subsequently was involved with the City in one capacity or another, most
notable the City's representative on the Orange County Water District for many
years. He feels the City should seize the nearest opportunity to recognize
and thank Gus for his many contributions to the City. Naming the Lenain
Filtration Plant after Gus is just a small token of recognition. While
Mr. Lenain is still with us, he feels the City should recognize him in some
way.
Mayor Daly and Council Members wholeheartedly agreed and staff was directed to
prepare an appropriate recognition for Mr. Lenain.
City Clerk Sohl stated that something would be prepared and placed on the
Council's next agenda.
114= STATUS REPORT ON SAFETY OF CITY FACILITIES AFTER THE RECENT EARTHQUAKES:
Mayor Daly. After the Northridge earthquake (January 17, 1994). They have
taken certain actions and heard reports relative to Anaheim Stadium. He would
like to have the City Manager report to the Council regarding the safety of
other City facilities as well. Some of the City's facilities date back to the
1920's and 1930's. The main library was built in the 1960's before modern
codes were in place. He feels it is necessary to have an update and status
report as to how those buildings withstood the recent quake and status in
terms of safety - safety of City employees as well as citizens. He asked that
the City Manager respond to the Council in whatever manner he views most
appropriate.
114: MARKETING OF TOURISM TO ANAHEIM:
Mayor Daly. Tourism in Anaheim is the primary revenue source for City
Government. In view of the recent earthquake, he would like to ask the City
51
City Hallr Anaheimr California - COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY ir 1994 - 5:00 P.M.
Manager to discuss with the Visitor & Convention Bureau what their plans are
to deal with the national and international attention that has been focused on
Southern California in terms of the freeway system and safety and convenience
issues. It is necessary to remind tourists around the world that Anaheim is
still a very safe place to visit and that the freeway system can deliver them
to Anaheim. He would like the City Manager to communicate and coordinate with
the Visitor & Convention Bureau and let the City Council know if the bureau
has any special plans to promote Anaheim and Orange County in view of the
quake.
Related to that, he would ask the City Manager to investigate the possibility
of joint activities with the County Government in terms of tourism promotion.
The Anaheim Visitor & Convention Bureau is the largest tourism promotion
agency in Orange County but there are others and it would be to the City's
advantage if some of this promotion in the wake of the earthquake could be
done on a county-wide basis.
114: COUNCIL WORKSHOP - POTENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING:
Mayor Daly. Relative to the subject of potential strategies for neighborhood
policing, he would like to suggest that there be a workshop scheduled for the
City Council with the new Police Chief and that the focus be on neighborhood
policing strategies which he has heard the new chief mention. He is very
supportive whether it is called community based policing or neighborhood based
policing, but basically some reforms and new strategies in that area. It is
time to have a presentation and discussion in a workshop setting on strategies
for neighborhood police programs. He will leave it to the City Manager to
schedule that a few weeks down the road.
ADJOURNMENT: By general Council consensus the Council meeting of February 1,
1994 was adjourned. (6:35 p.m.)
