PUBLIC COMM~__NTS - AGENDA ITEMS.-
Public input was rece'ived under Item C2 at the time the item was discussed
later in the meeting.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST..'.
Betty Ronconi, 1241 S. Walnut, Anaheim. She made a verbal presentation to the
Council, the text of which was submitted for the record. She explained the
problem of excessive noise that she has experienced in her home emanating from
Disneyland's outdoor extravaganza, "Fantasmic". Her presentation detailed the
kinds of noises that the residents are exposed to creating an unacceptable
level of intrusion into their homes, disturbing their peace and sleep and
disrupting their lives. They have contacted Disneyland to let them know of
the problem but without any success. They have also contacted City Code
Enforcement. No viable solution has been offered. She has also canvassed
~ho£~ immodiate Walnut Street neighbors as well as ~he ¢on~ominium residents
and all are being disturbed by Fantasmic. She emphasized this is a major
Problem. In concluding her presentation, Mrs. Ronconi stated, "We are asking
you, our elected representatives, to use your powers and take immediate
appropriate action to bring this excessive noise under control and to restore
quality of life for our residents."
Mrs. Ronconi reiterated that it is a very serious problem. She is not
anti-Disney but anti-noise. It is something that must be taken care of.
Mayor Daly. He assured Mrs. Ronconi her complaint would be handled by
appropriate City staff and that the City Manager subsequently give the Council
a report on the situation.
770
C~v Ilall, .~_,_n_~®~_n, cn_l~forn~a - COUNCX~ MINUTES - O~CEMBSIt 1, 199~ - 5:00 P.M.
Susan Schneider, 1244 S. Walnut, Anaheim. She is present to address the
Council on the same situation - the noise intrusion from the Disneyland
"Fantasmic" attraction. She lives a couple of houses down from Mrs. Ronconi.
She urged and invited the Council Members to come to their neighborhood to see
for themselves how intrusive the sound levels are. The situation is
unacceptable and something must be done. A particular concern is the fact
that when her eight-month old daughter is asleep and subsequently is awakened
by the noise, it causes a very difficult situation in her home. She felt it
was important to come and explain the situation to the Council.
Lou Leonard, President, United Residents Grassroots Effort of Riverdale. On
November 17, 1992, the Council approved an Amusement Arcade Permit No. 1019,
allowing an amusement arcade in the Knollwood Center at Imperial Highway and
La Palina Avenue. Many of the residents of Riverdale as well as residents of
Anaheim Hills in general are opposed to the arcade being in that location. He
referred to the problems experienced at the Camelot Family Fun Center. The
residents are concerned that the same element causing problems at that
location will carry over to the Knollwood Center. They are also concerned
that Police support in their area will be diluted by having to control
activities at Camelot and Knollwood. The residents have filed a request for
rehearing relative to Council action approving the arcade and hope that the
Council will grant them the opportunity to express their concerns by approving
theft request when it comes before the Council on December 15, 1992.

Engineer to execute the Right-of-Way Certification for the Seismic Safety

55C0111 ).
Al0. 123: Approving the Second Amendment to Agreement with Smith-Emery, in
an amount not to exceed $350,000 and extending the term of the agreement to
September 30, 1994.
Council Member Feldhaus. The original agreement in 1988 was for a four-year
period for a total of $150,000 per year. He noted that Amendment No. 1
approved in 1990 adjusted the maximum yearly compensation from $150,000 to
$350,000 and the Proposed Second Amendment is to extend the term of the
agreement to September 30, 1994. He questioned why the project will cost
about $2.1 million over the six-year period instead of $900,000 as he sees it.
gary Johnson, Public Work~ Director/City Engineer. This is not a project but
an on-call service. They typically have three testing firms under contract.
Smith-Emery happens to be a full-service testing company. The reason they ·
increased the maximum on the contract, Public Works/Engineering had a number
of very large projects under construction at the time - two'Convention Center
projects back to back, the StadiumExhibit Area, now another contract at the
Stadium and the Arena where Smith-Emery is doing the full-service testing.
Because of that, they requested the maximum be a fairly high number in order
to get through these large projects. When those projects are completed, they
will probably spend less money. Smith-Emery has reduced their labor rate for
the last two years by $5.00 per hour for the basic service. The original
agreement did not contemplate the level of construction activity that

followed. This is a consulting effort and the Department cannot staff
in-house for those services. They do not have the capability and he does not
know of any cities that do.
City Attorney White. What was provided to the Council was only the Second
Amendment. The 1988 original agreement contains most of the terms and
provisions that work will only be performed as needed and requested by the
City. It perhaps would have helped to have the original agreement.
Council Member Feldhaus. He agreed but still questions the $200,000 yearly
differential.

from the park sites and playground fund balance.
Submitted was report dated November 3, 1992 from the Director of Public
Works/City Engineer recommending award of the contract to the Hondo Company
and approving the subject appropriation.
Council ~ember Feldhau8, He es=i0neu why ~he funds for ~he park do no~ come
out of Redevelopment, since the area involved is a Redevelopment Area rather
than the Parks and Recreation budget.
City Manager James Ruth. Redevelotxnent has spent approximately $2,000,000 of
Redevelopment funds in acquiring the property and demolishing existing
buildings preparing it for development. At the time, they negotiated that
with Parks and Recreation. Parks and Recreation had collected in-lieu fees
from that immediate area. Under the law (Quimby Act), staff felt it was an
appropriate utilization of Park in-lieu monies. In the event Redevelopment
paid for the full amount of the Park development, they would have to defer
other projects. The funding is committed for this year and over the next
775

five-years. It could be done, it is in the Redevelopment Area, it could use
Redevelopment funds. He reiterated should they substitute their funds for
Park in-lieu fees, they would have to defer or delay other projects that they
have funded in their capital improvement program.
Council discussion followed wherein it was confirmed by the City Attorney that
the contract could be awarded today and the appropriation of funds deferred to
a later date.
Jack Kudron, Parks Superintendent. The low bid for the park has been held
over 60-days due to a problem with the railroad. They have voluntarily chosen
to extend their iow bid. They are only required to keep the bid in place for
30-days. The right-of-way situation has been resolved and that is why the
item is on the agenda tonight. Staff did defer it off agenda about a month
ago. He also confirmed that the appropriation of funds could be determined at
a later date.
MOT!ON~ Council Member Pickler moved to award the subject contract to the
lowest and best responsible bidder Hondo Company, Inc., in the amount of
$554,895 for Citrus Park General Development as recommended in memorandum

week relative to the City's Boards and Commissions - to look at them and
perhaps make some changes. He was thinking basically of the Planning
Commission, Public Utilities Board and Redevelopment Commission and any others
the Council might wish to consider.
Council Member Feldhaus. He would like to review all of them. He feels the
Council should review all Boards and Commissions and perhaps establish a
Council policy to do so at the end of each election.
Council Member Simpson asked that the matter be scheduled for December 15,
1992, since he might not be present at the next meeting.
It was determined the Council discussion on the City's Boards and Commissions
take place at the Council meeting of December 15, 1992 and that additional
information be provided for the Council such as attendance records.

Annika Santalahti recommending that the time extension be granted retroactive
to August 6, 1992 to 'expire August 6, 1993 subject to certain conditions as
outlined in the report.
Council Member Feldhaus. He noted that none of the conditions of approval had
been met and questioned why.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. The applicant in requesting the
extension of time did not indicate any reasons in his letter. She understands
from staff that building permits had been submitted a while ago. The owner is
apparently having difficulty with financing.
Council Member Pickler. He had a problem with this conditional use permit at
the time it was before the Council and he still does. He feels the requested
addition will be detrimental to the area. He is going to move that the time
extension not be granted so that the applicant would then have to go back
through the Planning process.
MOTION! Council Member Pickler moved to deny the request for extension of
time on Conditional Use Permit No. 3409. Council Member Feldhaus seconded the
mot ion.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Daly stated he also opposed the proposal when
it originally came before the Council about two years ago. He intends to vote
against a time extension. The addition is not in the best interest of the
neighborhood. ·
Council Member Pickler. If the applicant is present, he would be amenable to
hearing from him.
City Attorney White. That is totally at the discretion of the Council. The
motion on the floor is to deny the request for an extension of time. If that
motion is approved, it will render the CUP null and void at that time.
Mayor Daly asked to hear from Mr. Bhakta or a representative t no one was

Aliso Viejo, CA 92656. The location is 2620 W. La Palina Avenue. The
petitioner is requesting consideration of an application for the
operation of eight (8) billiard tables.
Submitted was report dated November 19, 1992 from the Code Enforcement
Manager, John Poole recommending denial of the subject application.
Mayor Daly requested a brief presentation from staff regarding staff's
recommendation.
John Poole, Code Enforcement Manager. When they received the application,
they surveyed the adjacent business and neighborhood area. He then briefed
page 2 of his November 19, 1992 report which listed the results of the survey
and complaints and violations that have been received through Code Enforcement
since March 14, 1988. He concluded his report with several findings
779
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCXL MINUTES- DECEMBER 1, 1992 - 5=00 P.M.
justifying staff's recommendation to deny the permit. (See findings listed on
page 2 and 3 of the subject staff report. )
Mayor Daly asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. Damian Porreca, Property Manager, 20 Overture Lane, Aliso Viejo,
California. He represents the shopping center owner. The applicant is also
present. The proposed business is considered a pool hall by the application,
but the tables are carom tables. They do not contain pockets. It is a
three-ball game of skill which does not lend itself to adolescent type
consumers. He does not believe that was explained to any of the local
residents or businesses. They talked to a couple of tenants in the center and
he has a couple of declarations to present that those tenants do not object to
the operation of a carom room (made a part of the record along with other
documents relating to rental space in the center as well as literature
depicting the La Palma Plaza Center). The applicant is a very credible
individual who has run one of the proposed businesses before in Utah. The
landlord is the original builder of the subject property and has been there
for 25 years. The staff report lists seven violations since 1988, but it does
not mention that all seven were corrected. Over a period of 25 years, those
are minimal from the landlords point of view. Mr. Tran who is applying is a
very stable individual. He owns a home in Orange County and has also worked
in Orange County. The market for the business is age 22 and older. He does
not intend to operate video games or sell alcohol. The hours of operation
will be limited to 11:00 p.m. He is an owner-operator and not an absentee so
he is able to control what takes place in his business. Relative to graffiti
or things of that nature in the area it is a problem. As of yesterday, they
painted out more graffiti along the block wall to the building. It is not
under the direct control of the center. The rear parking lot being discussed
in the report is not owned by the shopping center owner, but by Lenscrafters.
They have recently tried to improve the appearance of the center. Mr. Tran is
someone that does have integrity relative to the area and the City. He is a
very credit-worthy tenant prospect which is hard to find.
Mayor Daly asked if anyone else wished to speak; there was no response.
MOTION: Council Member Pickler moved to deny the application for a pool room
permit (Vinh's Billiard) at 2620 W. La Palma Avenue, including the findings
set forth in the staff report dated November 19, 1992 from the Code
Enforcement Manager (pages 2 and 3). Council Member Simpson seconded the
motion. Council Member Hunter was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
C2. 153: DISCUSSION - MORATORIUM ON PRIVATIZATION OF CITY SERVICES:
Mayor Daly. He requested that this matter be placed on the agenda for
discussion. Three months ago, the City Council directed the City Manager to
cease and assist his efforts to analyze the potential benefits of
privatization of various City functions and services. Prior to that point,
the City Manager had been very carefully and consciously looking at various
City functions. In some cases after review, he decided not to recommend
privatization and in a couple of cases, privatization was recommended. He was
proceeding along this course of action when Council directed him to cease
those efforts and placed a moratorium on any further efforts. At the time he
(Daly) voiced disagreement. He would like to now ask the Council to lift the
moratorium encouraging the City Manager to continue the careful analysis he
had been conducting prior to August 25, 1992 of all various City services and
functions that are contained in a study he had prepared for the Council. He
then opened the floor to hear citizens who wished to speak on the issue.
78O
C£ty Hall f Anahe£mr Ca l 'i fo rn 'i a - COUNCIL MINUTES- DECEMBER lr 1992 - 5:00 P.M,
Before doing so, Council Member Daly moved that the moratorium placed on the
study and analysis of the potential benefits of privatization of various City
functions and services be lifted. Council Member Feldhaus seconded the
motion.
Before action was taken, Council Member Simpson stated he was one Council
Member who voted for the moratorium not liking the term which he clarified at
the time. He has absolutely no objection to the City Manager continuing to
look at things on an on-going basis and making recommendations to the City
Council. He does not now nor then like the philosophy that the City is going
to contract everything out. The City Manager has brought at least two (2)
items to the Council since that time relative to privatization, both of which
were passed. Section 6.04 of the City Charter, clearly sets forth the
responsibility of the City Manager to take a continuing look at the City's
finances and make recommendations to Council on an on-going basis. He would
encourage him to do that. In light of that, he will probably support the
motion.
Council Member Pickler. Council Member Simpson had mentioned that there was a
problem with the terminology. At the meeting where the moratorium was
imposed, he (Pickler) was hoping they could find a term that would have been
acceptable. He also does not like the term moratorium. He is hoping they
continue to look at the different projects that come before them. He is
certain the City Manager and staff will continue to do so. It will be only
those things that need to be presented to the Council. There is nothing
saying that the Council has to agree with all that comes before them.
Council Member Feldhaus. He thanked Council Member Simpson for reconsidering
and making the transition back to allowing the City Manager to continue with
his duties.
Mayor Daly then asked to hear from those who requested to speak.
James Michaud, First Vice President, Anaheim Municipal Employees Association
(AMEA). He is speaking on behalf of the Association and for President, Sharon
Ericson, who could not be present tonight. Representatives from AMEA met with
the entire City Council with the exception of Council Member Feldhaus who was
not a Council Member at the time to ask for relief from the panic the
employees were experiencing not knowing from one week to the next if they
would have a job to report to or not. It was their understanding that the
moratorium on privatization was put in place to make sure the City is not
contracting out services just to contract out, but in the final analysis
privatization was the best solution to a given problem. AMEA came before the
Council and pre~ented pictures and showed where contractors were not providing
the quality of service Anaheim expects. A recent newspaper article stated
that the Stadium and Golf Courses were being considered for contracting out.
The Golf Courses currently transfer approximately $860,000 to the City's
General Fund and contribute another $100,000 in direct overhead allocations.
The Stadium is totally self-sufficient and pays for its own Departmental
services as well as contributing approximately $830,000 in indirect overhead
allocation. One important fact is that the Stadium is the only one in the
Country that does not require any governmental subsidy. Privatizing these two
operations will not save the City money. This would be a perfect example of
contracting out just for the sake of doing so. If the Council votes to lift
the moratorium, he urged that they do so for the right reasons and not for
some campaign promises made. If they vote to lift the moratorium they should
do so with the commitment to look at and listen carefully to the arguments
brought forward against privatization by the people who actually do the work.
781
Hall, A, ahe~_, Cal£forn£a - COUNCIL NINUTE~ - DgCENBER !~ 1992 - 5:00 P.N.
When they make a conscious effort to disregard the opinions of the employees
while making decisions regarding their livelihood, they also make a conscious
decision to promise a quality of life.
The Council should do its own homework on the subject and not only rely on
information provided by staff. AMEA appreciates the compassion shown by a few
Council members where employees are concerned. They feel the need to stress
that the moratorium did not tie the hands of the City Manager as has been
stated repeatedly by other Council members. He asked that they consider the
City's Mission Statement that hangs on the walls of City Hall which states in
part, "...to make Anaheim a great place to live, work and play". They feel
unfortunately due to bad decisions and disregard for the human factor Anaheim
is fast becoming an average City in which they simply exist.
Council Member Pickler. He does not believe Anaheim will ever become an
average City. Staff has continued to sit down with the unions. Input has
been given and will continue to be given. They cannot rule out any aspect of
privatization if it ~ill save thousands or perhaps millions of dollars.
With input from the different groups, IBEW, AMEA, APA, AFA, etc., he assured
the City Manager will continue to consult and work with those groups. The
options are always open. It is the Council's decision to make. They are not
closing the door on the opportunity for input. By today's action, they are
formally lifting the moratorium even though it did not mean that much. It is
clearing the air.
Council Member Feldhaus. He will never disregard the opinions of City
employees at any time. He made a campaign promise to "uncuff" the City
Manager's hands so he can do everything in his power to balance the budget.
He also promised a balanced budget and to conduct the City like a successful
business and will continue to keep that promise. He is always willing and
open to listen and willing to allow the City to bid against any privatization
contractor. He believes City employees can and do try to do better jobs than
they might find in the private sector. They are always in a "fish bowl".
People know who they can call if they are dissatisfied because they see City
trucks and City employees.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion, lifting the ban on the
moratorium. Council Member HUnter was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
C3. 114: APPOINT~fENT TO T~ ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS:..
Mayor Daly noted that- sometime ago the Council had appointed a member of the
City Council to represent Anaheim on the Orange County Water District Board of
Directors. He understands that position is virtually vacant. He asked staff
what action is appropriate to declare the seat vacant and the most expeditious
way to proceed.
City Attorney White. As he understands, a letter of resignation is on the
way. Once received as a matter of course the item will be agendized for the
Council to accept the resignation and to appoint a replacement. If the
Council desires and does not wish to wait to receive the letter of
resignation, they can agendize the appointment to the Board for the next
meeting.
MOTION= Council Member Simpson moved that the Council schedule on the Council
Agenda of December 8, 1992 the appointment by the Council of a representative
to the Orange County Water District Board of Directors. Council Member

16%: POTENTIAL MOVE OF THRIFTY CORPORATION AND BIG 5 TO ORANGE COUNT.y:
Council Member Feldhaus noted that Thrifty Corporation and Big 5 are possibly
planning to move to Orange County. He wants to be certain the City is on top
of the situation and that economic development staff aggressively pursue the
possibility of these two companies locating in Anaheim where he feels there is
plenty of premium space·
