PUBLIC COMMENTS - AGENDA ITEMS: Mr. Jeff Kirsch spoke on items A6, A9 and Al6
and Mr. Phil Kynpstra spoke on item Al6. (See discussion under those items. )
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Ron Bengochea, 1751 S. Nutwood, Anaheim. He referred to the recommendation
made by the Public Utilities Board at its last meeting relative to contracting
out the Water Meter Shop. It is a serious issue and involves the livelihood
of eight families. The Union and City Management have had meetings about the
issue since October of 1991. Both parties concurred that the way work was
being input into the work order system, not all work done in the field may
have been accounted for properly. The Union indicated with a more efficient
way of scheduling work assigned to the shop and better accountability,
productivity could be increased by 30%. In November, 1991, management in the
Utility Water Department has been developing a work order system tracking all
work done on Service Orders. The Union has been asking since February of 1992
how much productivity has increased since the new system was instituted but
have received no response.
He stated if the City goes ahead with the contract to privatize the work
presently done by the Meter Shop, some issues need to be addressed. He then
outlined seven issues/questions which he feels need to be resolved/answered
before the Council can approve any contract. He asked for Council
consideration of all factors involved before taking action and that they give
315
City Hallt Anahei~t California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 12: 1992 - 5:00 P.M.
the Meter Shop one year to prove that they can compete with a contractor.
(The full-text of Mr. Bengochea's presentation was submitted to the Council
and made a part:of the record. )
Sharon Ericson, President, Anaheim Municipal Employees Association (AMEA).
She is also present to speak on the subject of contracting out and layoffs.
She specifically relayed the case of a day custodian, Jennie Negrete who has
worked for the City for 14 years and the tremendous hardship such action would
create for herself and her very sick husband with Jennie being his sole
support and source of medical coverage. She has been a custodian at the
Police Department for many years and Police Chief Molloy has indicated that
she is the only one he would trust to clean lock-down areas of the Police
Department as well as his office. She has been offered two other positions,
both of which are not suited to Jennie's capabilities. Council Members have
the power to help this employee.
Mrs. Ericson also addressed other such issues, specifically that the entire
Cement Crew will be eliminated as of July 1st. By this action, the Council
will be diminishing the quality of life once again in the City as with other~
jobs to be eliminated by privatization. They have read the privatization ~
report thoroughly and have many concerns. She assumes the Council has
received a copy of the letter that they sent to Jim Armstrong, Assistant City
Manager requesting back up material to try to figure out what they have done.
AMEA's biggest concern was why were there no management functions listed as
high priority to contract. By getting rid of the lowest paid employees, the
result is putting them on the welfare rolls. She will be back before the
Council until the budget is passed, informing the Council of what in her
opinion is the unfairness that continues between the overabundance of
management employees and the wages they are paid. She urged that the Council
look hard at the jobs scheduled to go in July. These employees need their
jobs desperately. The City needs to keep these services in house and not lose
any more control than they already have.
City Manager Ruth confirmed for the Mayor that budget hearings will not start
until the first week in June~ Mayor Hunter asked that City Management provide
information with regard to Jennie Negrete, the possibility that she could be a
part of the Police Department budget and that the Council be presented with
some options to consider in regard to that case.
City Manager Ruth. He will be happy to submit a follow-up report.
Marilyn Hauk, Second Vice President of AREA. At the Budget Advisory
Commission meetings, they continually hear it is labor, labor, labor. When
they tried to get the Commission to look at everyone's salary if they were
going to be looking at labor, the Commission again focused on labor. She then
read figures that were handed out to the Budget Advisory Commission at their
third meeting taken from a submittal by management which was difficult to read
because of the very small print - employee compensation by group - PERS
reportable only - not gross compensation - the average wage per full-time
employee from 1981 to 1990 (different classes). After reading the figures,
316
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 12, 1992 - 5:00 P.M.
she noted there continues to be a problem with the fact that labor is
constantly being referred to, but the comparison shows that labor has gone up
only $10,000 during the period reported. More needs to be looked at than what
can the City contract out which ultimately affects the "little guy". A study
was done on privatization in Los Angeles last year. Since 1958, nearly 5,000
jobs have been eliminated due to contracting out. Los Angeles is beginning to
realize it has had an impact. The iow bid assures the contractor is going to
pay the lowest wage possible. In closing she quoted from a portion of the
privatization study, "the public cost of private contracting -
...privatization turns good jobs with decent wages and benefits into working
poor jobs eroding the pool of good jobs available to minority workers and
reducing the income they bring back to the communities where they live".
Roger Banowitz, 255 N. Larch, Anaheim. Each of the Council Members appointed
two people to the Budget Advisory Commission which is made up of highly
independent and intelligent people. However, he has to take vacation time on
his job (Maintenance Department) in order to be able to attend their meetings.
He also feels the meetings are "hidden away" on the 6th Floor of the Civic
Center not easily accessible to the public. The Commission may have done a l
more thorough job if there was more input from the public. He questioned wh~
meetings could not be at a tame and place more available and accessible to the
public.
Bharati Mulchandani. She represents the Jeffrey Lynne Apartment Association.
She is requesting that the Council place them on a Council Agenda in July, the
issue being to create new orders requesting that no street vendors be allowed
in the residential neighborhood. At that time, some other associations will
be joining them to address the same issue. She reiterated they wanted to be
on an agenda for a Council Meeting in July or in June.
Mrs. Mulchandani was directed to contact the City Clerk relative to her
request.

C£t¥ Hall, Anahe:L~, Cal£forn£a - COUNCIL MINIFTES - 14~Y 12~ 1992 - Ss00 P.N.
Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He is wondering if there would be a
break down of what exactly the City is getting for the several thousand dollar
line-items tha~-~are producing reports. What is the City getting for its
money. He also suggested a telephone information service where the bulk of
the activity takes place.

Al6. 101: Approving the Anaheim Arena Art Plan as recommended by the Anaheim
Arena Art Plan Citizens' Advisory Committee.
Council Member Pickler voted no.
Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He referred to certain items where
there were non-specific statements made about long-term administration and
maintenance costs. He recommended that approval be withheld until they start
to see a revenue stream from the Arena.
.
Council Member Daly. He asked the City Manager to speak to the dollars that
will be used for installation and maintenance of the art.
City Manager Ruth. Approximately $600,000 was set aside in the Arena budget
out of the bond proceeds to provide for art enhancement to the Arena project.
A Citizens Advisory Committee worked diligently for months and have come up
with a series of recommendations. Ail maintenance and upkeep will be absorbed
in the operating cost of the Arena itself. The City will not be responsible
for that. Odgen has a Management Agreement for 30 years to maintain and
operate the Arena and this cost will be incurred against the Arena.
319
City Hall. Anahei~t California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 12t 1992 - 5:00 P.M.
Council Member Daly. The private operators of the building will, at their
expense, maintain the arts~ City Manager Ruth confirmed that was the case.
Phillip Kynpstra, 2520 Gelid, Anaheim. He is confused relative to how the art
is going to be financed. He assumes by tax-free municipal bonds. Even though
the money does not come out of General Funds, it still comes from tax payers.
To him it is a message to the public that the City can afford to buy luxury
art for the Sports Arena while at the same time cutting back on basic
services.
Council Member Daly. He asked the City Manager in the clearest possible terms
to explain again, one of many times he has done so, who is buying the art for
the Arena.
City Manager Ruth. The art is being paid for out of the bonds. Odgen, the
Project Manager, is paying off the bonds which are also covered by a Letter of
Credit, which totally protects the City. In the event, Odgen would default on
the bonds, the Letter of Credit Bank would come forward and have to pay the
debt service. The City has no financial exposure or liability. The art is
being paid for totally out of the bonds for the Arena and there are sufficient
funds available. The art is not luxury art, but basic art pieces to enhance
the Arena.
Council Member Daly. It is a sore subject with him because he feels the Cit~
has not done a good job describing the kind of building the Arena is going to'
be. There will not be one public employee in that building. The operational
costs will be paid for by the private sector. It will be operated by a
private company, the same company that sells the food and beverages at the
Stadium. It is a disservice when it is called a public art plan for a public
building when it is being paid for with private money and maintained with
private money. He does not know how they can make it clearer. The City has
been clarifying it for two years. The City Government sold bonds, but the
private sector is paying off the bonds and if they do not there is an
insurance policy that backs that up.
A17. 123: Approving the assignment of the agreement held by American
Cablevision of Orange to Time Warner Entertainment Company for the
installation and maintenance of CATV cable on City-owned power poles, and
authorizing the Utilities General Manager to execute the license agreement.
Al8. 123: Approving an agreement with Anaheim Interfaith Shelter, Inc. (AIS)
in the amount of $20,000 for provision of shelter and support services to
homeless £amilies in Anaheim. (Allocation from 17th year CDBG application for
Halcyon Family Shelter)

A23. 107.- REPORT - LICENSE REQUIREMENTS - CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS: ~
At its meeting of April 7, 1992, the City Council requested a follow-up report
concerning licensing requirements of contractors and subcontractors.
Submitted was joint report dated May 1, 1992 from the City Attorney, Planning
Director and City Treasurer containing alternatives for Council consideration.
(The first report on the issue was submitted on June 5, 1991 as requested by
Council Member Daly).
Council Member Ehrle. He would like a continuance of a couple of weeks on
this item to give more time to ask questions.
City Attorney White. This is a City Council initiated item and thus a policy
decision for the Council. Staff has not made a recommendation in the joint
report submitted which contains Alternative A and Alternative B (proposed
ordinances attached). Of the two ordinances presented, one is the ordinance
adopted by the cities of Santa Ana and Irvine (Alternate A). The other
(Alternate B) is a different version that seems to be more in keeping with the
actual practice in those cities that have adopted such an ordinance.
MOTION.- Council Member Hunter moved to continue the subject item for two
weeks to June 2, 1992. Council Member Daly seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
A24. 000: HEARING TO CONSIDER CHANGES TO THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR SANITATION
CHARGES: To consider changes to the residential Solid Waste; Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Collection Charges and to the Residential Sewer
Maintenance and Commercial and Industrial Sewer Maintenance charges. Staff
has recommended a continuance of the hearing to Tuesday, May 19, 1992.
Mayor Hunter asked if there was anyone present in the Chamber audience who
would be opposed to a one-week continuance of the subject hearing; there was
no response.

Council Member Daly asked if there was any concern by other Council Members
relative to this item.
-Council Member Pickler. His concern was the fact that it is being proposed
close to the platinum triangle. It is an odd shaped parcel.
Council Member Daly. He feels by approving this, it will potentially
interfere with the train station and train track improvements along that
Amtrak Corridor. He asked Planning staff to comment.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. The Planning Commission approved
this for a period of ten years because of concern relative to the platinum
triangle. Also with that location adjacent to the train tracks, one of the
primary staff concerns was the issue of graffiti and the accessibility of
walls along railroad tracks. There is a condition that addresses some means
of trying to pre-solve a potential graffiti problem.
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Council
Members Pickler and Daly, and therefore, a public hearing will be scheduled at
a later date.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 12, 1992 - 5:00 P.M.
Council Member Pickler stated he would like to set this item for a hearing.
The location is at Brookhurst and Lincoln in a commercial area. He has not
had an opportunity to analyze the matter and would like more time to do so;
Council Member Daly asked if there was a way to continue the item without
setting it for a public hearing.
City Attorney White. Today is the last day on which a hearing can be set. If
it is not set for a hearing, there would be no jurisdiction by the Council if
there are questions that are not answered to Council's satisfaction. If it is
set for a hearing and before the hearing the questions are answered, there is
no ability to terminate the hearing because anyone else who may have a desire
to set it for a public hearing would be led to rely on the fact that the
Council had set the matter. Tonight is the night to decide.
After a brief discussion, it was determined that the earliest possible date
the matter could be set for a hearing would be June 9, or possibly June 2,
1992.
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Council Member
Pickler concurred in by Council Member Daly with the hearing to be set on
June 2, 1992 if at all possible.
