A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was
posted at 2:30 p.m. on January 22, 1993 at the Civic Center kiosk, containing
all items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the meeting of January 26, 1993 to order at 3:09 p.m., all
Council Members being present with the exception of Council Member Pickler.
City Attorney, Jack White. Staff thought it appropriate to brief the Council
in conjunction with Item A25 on the Council Agenda today (5:00 p.m. session)
concerning what is being called the Santiago Landslide - the slide occurrence
in the hills area. In addition, there is one item not on the agenda that
needs to be discussed in Closed Session which relates to discussions with the
City's Real Property Negotiator concerning the Lows School site. The Council
will not be acting on the Santiago Landslide matter except in conjunction with
the 5:00 p.m. agenda, but the need to consider and be briefed on it arose
since the agenda was prepared last Friday. There is also a need to consider
in Closed Session the Lows School site which also arose since the agenda was
prepared. Therefore, it is necessary to waive the 72-hour Posting Provision
of the Brown Act by a 4/5ths vote in order to consider these two items.
MOTION: Council Member Daly moved to waive the 72-hour posting provision of
the Brown Act on the aforementioned items for the reasons articulated by the
City Attorney. Council Member Simpson seconded the motion. Council Member
Pickler was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
City Attorney White. The Council has been provided with certain documents -
one is a map prepared and distributed by the Fire Chief (see laminated colored
map entitled Santiago Incident - Revised January 25, 1993) and the other is a
geotechnical report from the City's geotechnical consultants, Eberhart &
Stone, Inc., dated January 25, 1993 (W.O. 165110.69) which will serve as the
ba~is o~ one o~ ~he ~ounc~l's ac~ons ak the ~00 p.m. portion o~ the meeting.
These are remedial actions recommended to be taken. The other is a copy of
the resolution amended from the previous resolution that appears in the
Council packet at this time. The resolution now adds the remedial measures as
referenced in the geotechnical report now presented for Council information to
be acted upon at 5:00 p.m. Fire Chief Bowman and Public Works Director/City
Engineer Johnson are in charge of the matter and will give a briefing on the
incident.
Fire Chief Jeff Bowman. City Manager Ruth asked that he and Gary Johnson give
a brief overview and summary of the events that have taken place. He then
gave an overview of the extensive efforts that have been put forth relative to
the incident in the past week. (Council Member Pickler entered the Council
51
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 26, 1993 - 5~00 P.M.
Chamber - 3:13 p.m.) As they got out to the area, they started to realize
that several different events were happening simultaneously. Natalie Lockman,
Principal Civil Engineer, was called in who in turn called the geologist the
City had on staff. He immediately determined that the slide area he had been
evaluating was activating in a much quicker fashion. Whereas there had been
about a one inch per month land movement in the general mass starting on the
18th of January and subsequent days, that movement increased from 1 inch to 1~
inches a day following two weeks of almost steady rainfall. He then
elaborated on all the activities that had ensued which activities were
directed from the command post set up at Fire Station ~9 and subsequently
moved to a temporary site, the former headquarters of the Anaheim Memorial
Hospital Urgent Care Facility Building. Most of the efforts from this point
on and those in the past week have been in response to suggestions made by the
geologist, the technical expert - re: evaluation and dewaterization of the
area.
Gary Johnson, Public Works Director and City Engineer. He briefed the areas
involved in the incident as well as the specific procedures that had thus far
taken place and the related costs. In concluding, he reported that in the
short-term, the plan is to use Eberhart & Stone and the firm of Law Crandall
to develop the short-term mitigation plan to see if they can stop the area
from sliding. The long-term plan is that the City has Eberhart & Stone under
contract, Phase II, to develop a mitigation plan for the area. They had been
in the process of exploratory borings to determine the extent of the slide
area when the event occurred. If the situation can be stabilized, that effort
will begin again. At a later date, they will bring in a second firm to have a
peer review of whatever mitigation findings Eberhart & Stone develop.
Fire Chief Bowman. He briefed the map that was presented to the Council
showing the streets/location of the damaged homes and areas followed by a
slide presentation showing portions of the area and specific damage that has
occurred to the infrastructure - streets, sidewalks and homes. A town hall
meeting was also held last Wednesday at the Anaheim Hills Golf Course to share
information with the residents and over 200 people attended. Another meeting
is scheduled for tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m. at the LDS Church on Fairmont
Blvd. He has asked for declarations from the County which they have issued.
The Governor is issuing declarations for several counties. They have also
asked the President to do so as well, but have not yet heard back. If
declared a disaster area, low-interest loans will be available to the affected
homeowners and there will be a return on monies spent by the City in
mitigating the disaster.
City Attorney White explained for Council Member Pickler that as of now, to
the best of his knowledge, no one in the City has pinpointed any causation
factor. For purposes of the public record, it should be indicated at this
time he is unaware of anything that would lead him to believe that the City is
liable.
Discussion and questioning followed with input from both Chief Bowman and the
City Attorney during which the City Attorney explained that it has not been
determined specifically when the problem started. As he understands, this is
an ancient landslide that reactivated and started slipping as a result of
lubrication caused by excessive water in the porous rock. Preliminarily,
there is some indication once the properties were developed and started to get
landscaped, that might have been a contributing factor. At the moment, they
do not have concrete proof or knowledge of that. The geologist was actually
working on the situation trying to determine the cause and what led up to the
slipping to that point when the incident occurred. Because of the situation,
52
City Hall~ Anaheimr California - COUNCIL MINI~I]~S - JANUARY 26, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
the geologist has had to stop that testing and evaluation and work on the
emergency effort under way. Until he can get back to that work, nobody has
the answer.
Chief Bowman. This is a long-term event. While the movement is waning, it is
still significant. The Fire Department is trying to coordinate for the City a
reoccupation plan. They are trying to get all departments involved to work
with the geologist and talk about things like utility disruptions. Even if
the event were ended today, it would take several days to get utilities
restored. They are trying to draft a plan for the Council and City Manager to
look at so that they can talk about the issue of downsizing or downscaling the
event and, where possible, what they can do to reoccupy the area when or if it
becomes appropriate.
After further discussion, Jeff Bowman stated staff has made themselves
available and created a hotline for the residents with an update status every
two hours. Three additional phone lines were installed at Fire Station 9 so
that residents could talk to a person instead of a machine. They posted a
public display area at Station 9 so residents could come in and talk to
somebody about what was going on and to get updates. The town hall meetings
go a long way to allow the residents to vent. He believes the residents are
satisfied with what the City is doing and the City is doing everything
possible to help and to try to stabilize the event. They have done everything
possible and in a timely fashion.
After further questions by Council, Council Members commended the efforts of
staff~ City Manager Ruth. Fire Chief Bowman called him a week ago last Monday
and notified him of the problems. The City's team responded quickly and made
a lot of correct early decisions which resolved some of the issues and
minimized the impact. Staff made a great contribution controlling the issue
as best they could. The concern now is in terms of the decisions to be made
letting people back in their homes, trying to get Federal and State aid and
keeping the citizens informed. Residents at the town meeting handled
themselves well and asked intelligent questions. There is still a long way to
go and the Council will be kept informed.

Mayor Daly reconvened the City Council meeting. (5:38 p.m.)
PUBLIC COMMENTS - AGENDA ITEMS: Members of the public spoke regarding Item
Al9 and A28. See discussion under those items.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTE~JEST:
Bob King, 6551 Morengo, Anaheim. He noted the financial crisis facing the
Country, State and many cities. It would behoove the Council to form some
kind of arrangement amongst themselves to let the Federal Government know
citizens are opposed to the way their money is being spent on the Federal
level. He cited specific examples of what he considers blatant waste of
Federal tax dollars. He feels the Council could be instrumental in doing
something about it - that they should do something for the American taxpayer
to take the load off their backs.
Mayor Daly noted that five congressional districts now serve the City of
Anaheim and he will share some of Mr. King's comments with the City's
representatives.
Sanford Simmons, 3252 Hillrose Drive, Los Alamitos. He owns 140 apartment
units on Orangewood and Harbor where he is experiencing large vacancies which
has never occurred before. Their normal way of advertising has not been
working well. He applied for a permit for a For Rent sign and subsequently
received a notice of violation regarding signage. The code states he could
have 3 signs but a total square footage of no more than 10 feet. The footage
of his property is several hundred linear feet and 3 small signs are
ineffective. He requested that the Council direct staff to look into the
applicable code sections regarding signage (he specifically referred to
Section 18.05.080 and 18.05.07) in order to give him some relief as well as to
give him a level playing field by allowing him to increase the size of his
signs commensurate with the square footage of his property.
55
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 26, 1993 - 5=00 P.M.
Questions were posed to Mr. Simmons by Council Members to confirm the
specifics of his request; City Attorney White noted that relative to sign
regulations, these are by ordinance and either the ordinance has to be amended
to increase the size of signs or a person can obtain a variance.
At the conclusion of discussion, the Planning Director, Joel Fick, stated that
staff can look into the matter and see what other jurisdictions do as well as
take the matter to the Planning Commission if the Council wishes.
It was determined that Mr. Simmons is to work with the Planning Department
relative to his concern.
MOTION: Council Member Pickler moved to waive reading in full of all
ordinances and resolutions to be acted upon for the Council meeting of
January 26, 1993. Council Member Simpson seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.

Al6. 113z RESOLUTION NO. 93R-18z A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM AUTHORIZING THE DESTRUCTION OF CERTAIN CITY RECORDS MORE THAN
TWO YEARS OLD. (Program Development and Audit documents.)
Al7. 185: Determining, on the basis of the evidence submitted by C. Dennis
Abramson of Hanover Real Estate Associates, that the property owner has
complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of Development Agreement
No. 87-01 for the 1991-1992 review period (17 acre Hanover/Katella Office
Park).
A18. 185: Determining, on the basis of the evidence submitted by Richard J.
Gardner of the Gardner Group, that the property owner has complied in good
faith with the terms and conditions of Development Agreement No. 89-01 for the
1991-1992 review period (Stadium Business Park).
Al9. 185: Determining, that the property owner, California Drive-In
Theaters, Inc., has defaulted on the terms and conditions of Development
Agreement No. 88-05 for the 1991-1992 review period; and therefore, directing
city staff to initiate the procedures for default (IDM Business Center).
Terry Dickens. He represents California Drive-In Theatres (CDI), 120 N.
Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles. The property involved is part of the Orange
Drive-In on State College south of Anaheim Stadium. In 1988, they entered
into an agreement with IDM Development Corporation to develop the property.
That agreement involved a ground lease and hopefully later a sale. IDM has
58
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 26, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
since filed a reorganization Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Through that process,
they have terminated the lease agreement with California Drive-In Theatres.
He is trying to pick up the ball. Just before IDM's filing, they had a lease
with TRW for some 450,000 square feet of offices. They were totally unable to
finance that one building not because of the lease, location or TRW, but
simply because it was an office building in Southern California. No lender is
willing to make the commitment. It is his view the chances of developing the
project as an office complex are slim, but not impossible. The development
agreement provides for that. He is requesting that they leave the development
agreement in place for another year - economic conditions for this sector of
the market have bottomed out. With the development agreement in place, there
is some opportunity to move forward if they team up with a user compatible
with the agreement. Further, in the event that they come up with a
development which is doable and yet different than the current project, they
have a development agreement they can amend rather than starting at ground
zero. If they are to terminate the development agreement, it is of no
particular benefit to the City. If it stays in place and the property is not
developed or development not commenced over the next year, the same effect
occurs. He would be happy to answer any questions.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. Staff's recommendation is based upon their
understanding that the project that is addressed in the development agreement
has not been progressing and there are no plans to proceed. There has been a
tremendous amount of mutual effort that went into the preparation of the
original agreement. He has the highest respect for California Drive-In
Theatres. The action being recommended just makes a recommendation to the
Council that the terms of the agreement have not been complied with and would
initiate a 60-day period for CDI to cure the situation. Based upon the
working relationship with CDI, staff's recommendation is that the 60-days be
initiated with the understanding they will be working with CDI during that
period and if they need additional time, staff would have no problem coming
back and making that recommendation.
Terry Dickens. That is acceptable and there are also other things to talk to
the City about as well.
At the end of the Consent Calendar, this item was approved as recommended by
staff.

City Attorney White. The resolution that was in the agenda material
distributed on Friday has been modified into two parts. The first part
remains as on the agenda and the second, which has been added, is to approve
the remedial measures being undertaken as emergency measures based upon
geological reports from the geological engineer's effort. It was not received
until after the agenda was prepared and the matter could not wait until the
next Council meeting. He is recommending that the Council by a 4/Sths vote
waive the 72-hour Posting Provision of the Brown Act to include the
modification.
Included in that motion should be the addition of another Consent Calendar
Item (A29a), and action necessitated as a result of the Orange County

A28. 153: Approving the appointment of David M. Morgan to the position of
Assistant City Manager, effective January 29, 1993 at an annual salary of
$112,000; and waiving Personnel Rule 7, Appointments and Promotions, and
Resolution No. 92R-19 relating to Executive Management Compensation.
Phil Knypstra, 2520 Gelid, Anaheim. The Council is being asked to approve a
salary for the Assistant City Manager of $112,000. He made an issue in his
campaign for election that executive management salaries in the City were
higher than comparable positions in education. Added to the $112,000 is an 8%
management package all executive managers receive which they use to pay their
PERS. He is concerned over how the City, which is facing severe financial
problems, can afford such salaries. He understands that the position is
important, but not any more important than the President and Superintendent of
the North Orange County Community College District who do not have near that
pay nor the superintendents of local school districts. He wonders how the
City does a survey that ignores education. His concern has nothing to do with
the individual but everything to do with the process. Salaries make up the
dominent cost factor in any government. Chopping people at the lower end and
the haste to replace at the top concerns him. The Council should take this
under advisement.
Later in the meeting, at the request of Council Member Feldhaus, City Manager
Ruth explained that the proposed salary is competitive with other cities. The
City does not compare salaries with the school districts, but on a regular
basis with cities of comparable size and responsibility. The position is
about $7,000 under the former incumbent's salary. When they submitted that
recommendation to the City Council, it was as a result of some major
reorganization. Other cuts in management staff in the City during the past
few months have saved over $400,000. This position is vital to the operation
of the City. The salary is competitive and in order to compensate for that
salary some major reductions have been made and major reductions will continue
to be made in staff throughout the City. Of the 175 positions actually
abolished to date, 20% of those positions have been management positions.
They are looking at every opportunity to reduce the cost of operations in the
city.

D1. 179: CONTINUED REHEARING - AMUSEMENT ARCADE NO. 1019:
Rehearing request by: Debbie Davies, Director, U R G E of Riverdale.
Re: Amusement Arcade Permit No. 1019 - Submitted by Richard Debeikes, Mike
Rhodes, and Dan Lee, Family Fun and Games, 2300 Michelson Drive, Suite 200,
Irvine, CA 92715
LOCATION: The property is located at 5655 East La Palma Avenue, Suite 140.
The request was to permit 75 to 100 amusement devices.
The Zoning Administrator approved the Amusement Arcade permit under Decision
ZA92-49. A review of the Zoning Administrator's decision was subsequently
requested by Council Members Hunter and Simpson at the meeting of October 20,
1992 and public hearing scheduled for November 17, 1992. At that meeting, the
City Council approved Amusement Arcade Permit No. 1019 for one year.
Subsequently a request for rehearing was submitted by Debbie Davies and the
rehearing request was approved by the City Council at its meeting of
December 8, 1992 and public hearing scheduled for January 12, 1993. Letter
dated January 7, 1993 was then submitted by the applicant for the Amusement
Permit for a 90-day continuance. The applicant was not present on January 12,
1993. The Council granted a continuance but only to this date, January 26,
1993.
Letter dated January 21, 1993 from Mr. Richard A. DeBeikes, Jr., DeBeikes
Investment was received withdrawing the request for approval of the Amusement
Arcade Permit.
MOTION: Council Member Daly moved to approve withdrawal of Amusement Arcade
Permit No. 1019, Council Member Simpson seconded the motion.
Before further action was taken, Mayor Daly asked the City Attorney if any
additional actions were necessary or whether the public hearing would have to
be opened.
City Attorney White. The motion on the floor is legally correct at this time,
since the applicant has withdrawn the application.
62
City Hallr Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINt~TE$ - JANUARY 26, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
Mayor Daly. He noted that Debbie Davies was in the Chamber audience and asked
if she would like to comment even though a formal public hearing will not be
conducted.
Debbie Davies, U.R.G.E. of Riverdale. She thanked the Council for the time
and effort given to this matter. She wants to make it clear, however, that
there are other issues that need to be addressed in the same center. The
Council is aware of those issues - circulation, parking, access, etc. She has
spoken with Mr. Sanborn (Cinemapolis) but not with Mr. DeBeikes (adjacent
Imperial properties). She offered her assistance along with that of Mark
Thompson. If they can help with a compromise between the two property owners,
they would be happy to assist the Council. They will work as a citizens group
and work with the people involved to eliminate the problems. She knows a
traffic study is scheduled to take place. There is a big traffic problem at
the location and it is of an emergency nature. Emergency vehicle access would
be very difficult at a prime time. It is an issue that needs to be discussed.
Mr. Sanborn and DeBeikes need to work together. She reiterated they are
willing to help in any way as members of U.R.G.E. She confirmed for the Mayor
that she had talked to Mr. Sanborn and asked him to list all the problems on a
sheet of paper. He (Sanborn) said that he and Mr. DeBeikes had problems in
the past in working together. She discussed the situation with Mayor Daly a
few weeks ago that the two owners need to compromise.
A vote was then taken on the motion approving withdrawal of the permit.
MOTION CARRIED.

C£t¥ Hall, Anaheim, Callfornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 26, 1993 - 5=00 P.M.
PLANNING STAFF INPUT~
See staff report to the Planning Commission dated December 2, 1992.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. She reviewed the reasons why the
Planning Commission denied the application. Their basic concerns were
problems in the past of parking and on-site storage. She referred to the four
photographs which were posted on the Chamber wall. There is a concern if the
building is subdivided, potentially they will have to deal with four tenants
and four owners. What exists is a very non-conforming situation. There is
inadequate parking reflected in code enforcement activity. There is no
landscaping in the front. Trash enclosures are not provided in the normal
closures. Technically there ie available parking to the rear of the alley
which has been fenced off and is unusable. In conclusion, staff felt, and the
Commission concurred, the existing situation is significantly non-conforming
and a subdivision of the property would not improve it, but likely make it a
more difficult situation to work with.
Mayor Daly opened the public hearing.
APPLICANT'S STATEMENT:
Richard Held. He referred to the letters previously sent along with plot
plans (letter dated December 9, 1992 with attachments - previously made a part
of the record). He then briefed the information contained in his letter
listing what he felt are the advantages to the City if the request is
approved, the main one being that people who own their own property take
better care of it and maintain it better than tenants. He is trying to
encourage ownership for the small businessman. Relative to parking, the
building has existed over 30 years with the present parking arrangement.
Allowing four units will not create any additional parking requirements.
Approval could result in a higher tax base for the City. There will be no
structural change but the building will remain as is. The staff report
indicated that there are problems in the area. He conceded there are some but
he feels those are with existing facilities where conditional use permits were
granted to automotive uses. He does not have any in his building.
Technically, they are only one space short in meeting the parking requirement.
He could not meet the requirement for landscaping and refuse enclosures
because he would lose parking.. There is an alley to the rear and tenants use
it for parking for some of their vehicles.
Council Member Feldhaus, after having Mr. Held confirm specifically which one
was his building, stated that in the back of the property at 540, there are
many vehicles which are being dismantled and everything else.
Mr. Held stated that is his property and those tenants are there on a sublease
from the people who rent from him. He informed them that is not an accepted
use. They are moving out probably in the next month or two. It is not a
legal activity and he does not want it there. He has to go through the
procedures of evicting people. He notified his tenant in a friendly manner.
Council Member Feldhaus asked to hear from a representative from Code
Enforcement.
Bruce Freeman, Code Enforcement Supervisor. The strip commercial in the
industrial center on Rose Street has been a constant problem for the last nine
years. There are many problems - outdoor storage, unavailable parking, double
parking in the streets in the areas in front of the location, etc. There is a
continuing problem in all units. It is not one particular incident on this
property but the entire industrial complex has been a problem. The outside
65
City Hallr Anaheimr California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 26, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
fenced areas have always been used for storage. There has not been an
instance where they have been available for parking.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to speak either in favor or in
opposition; there was no response.
SUMMATION BY APPLICANT:
Richard Held. As an owner, he recognizes the problems with parking which, as
he stated, occurred when Conditional Use Permits were granted to automotive
uses. His building does not have those types of uses. He feels he has the
right to be able to sell off 4 units to 4 separate people. He has been a real
estate broker for 20 years. People that own properties typically take better
care of them than those who rent. A couple of his tenants have been there for
ten years and they have been good tenants.
Council Member Pickler. Mr. Held has been the owner of the property but he
has not taken care of it; Council Member Feldhaus. He is concerned with the
status of the property. He visited the property five years ago as a Planning
Commissioner and feels that it does not look any different today. He believes
the situation will be compounded four times by separate ownership.
Mayor Daly closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Council
Member Pickler, seconded by Council Member Daly, 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 Hunter
temporarily absent. MOTION CARRIED.
