City Manaqer James Ruth. Pursuant to City Charter sections 1202, 1203 and
1204, the City Council has been provided the Resource Allocation Plan
document and supporting computer printouts which information has been
available for public inspection as legally advertised. After today's
hearing, the public hearing will be continued to June 18, 1991 and may at

read/briefed City Manager's Transmittal Letter of May 31, 1991 on pages 4,

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET.
The 1991/92 and 1992/93 proposed Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) totals
$544,132,028 and $545,639,259 respectively, comprised of:
1991/92 1992/93
Operating Programs
Power and Water
Capital Projects
$298,558,971
166,052,315

TOTAL RAP
$544,132,028 $545,639,259
The transmittal letter outlined the difficult economic times being faced
by the City, State and Federal Government due to the national recession
combined with the recently concluded Persian Gulf War which has especially
impacted Anaheim's tourist industry. These factors combined resulted in a
projected deficit of almost $14,000,000 in the General Fund which
increased to $18 to $20,000,000 as the recession worsened. The letter
addresses the proposed expenditure reductions totalling approximately
$10,000,000 in 1991/92; $10.6 million 1992/93 City-wide and $8.2 million
1991/92 and $8.9 million 1992/93 in the General Fund. The plan also calls
for implementing $9.8 million in 1991/92 and $11.1 million in 1992/93 in
new revenues in order to balance the General Fund in both fiscal years.
The possibilities include implementing a parking tax, increasing the
Transient Occupancy tax (T.O.T.), increasing the property transfer tax,
implementing an admission tax, or implementing a utilities user tax which
staff is prepared to discuss. In concluding his letter, Mr. Ruth briefed
the many accomplishments of the 1990/91 fiscal year as well as a look
toward the future which continues to be bright for the City.
Mr. Ruth stated as part of the process, staff has provided a report
relative to contract services, i.e., services in which the City of Anaheim
contracts with private vendors (see report dated June 6, 1991 to the City
Manager/Council from Ken Stone, Program Development and Audit (P D and A)
Manager - subject: Contract Services with the City of Anaheim). Over
$9,000,000 is being contracted out for a variety of services in a number
of City departments. Also provided was a survey of surrounding cities
General Fund condition for fiscal year 1991/92 and what those cities are
proposing to do to balance their budgets (see report dated June 5, 1991 to
the City Manager/City Council from Ken Stone, P D and A Manager -
subject: Summary of Surrounding Cities General Fund Condition for Fiscal
Year 1991/92 - made a part of the record). Lastly he is proud to report
that the departments have been very aggressive as in the past years in
generating over $31,000,000 in a variety of grants. He then turned the
presentation over to Ken Stone to give an overview of the City's fiscal
condition.

Mr. Ken Stone, Program Development and Audit Manager. He then walked the
Council through the City's current budget situation and fiscal
environment. (Mr. Stone's presentation was supplemented by slides, the
majority of which were presented to the Council in hard copy entitled,
City of Anaheim - Fiscal Year 1991/92 and 1992/93 Budget Briefing - made a
part of the record.) He briefed the City's proposed total resources
(1991/92 - 1992/93), General Fund revenues, General Fund major revenues
growth, Sales Tax quarterly comparison, total expenditures proposed
(1991/92 - 1992/93), General Fund expenditures and the General Fund prior
to and after expenditure reductions, use of General Tax Revenues, a
departmental reduction summary, summary of expenditure reductions already
eliminated from department budgets requests, summary of ~ossible.
additional reductions. (Included in the hard copy was a potential revenue
options summary.)
During and following Mr. Stone's presentation, questions were posed by
Council Members for purposes of clarification. Mr. Stone confirmed on
questioning by Council Member Daly that figures for the Fire Department
1990/91, $18,395,660 to 1991/92, $23,733,240 as indicated in the pie
charts were not correct. The correct figure for the Fire Department is
$20,213,401 in the proposed year. In the second year it is $21,591,960.
He will verify that the numbers were added in after the percentages were
calculated. Relative to the Police Department figures as questioned by
Council Member Simpson, the figures are $45,308,707 for 1991/92 and
$49,288,008 in 1992/93. The charts will be corrected and re-submitted
City Manager Ruth then introduced and prefaced each department's budget
presentation giving its location in the budget document, capital
improvement plan where applicable, budget totals, adjustments, and also
reported the extent to which departments have made expenditure reductions
either labor reductions, operating reductions and capital outlay
reductions. In some departments, all three areas were reduced.
The following department heads then gave an overview of their department's
proposed budget, plans and goals for the coming year(s), and explanations
relative to the requests in their budget. Many relayed the
accomplishments/goals reached in the past fiscal year.
Executive Director of Co~unit¥ Development, Lisa
Stipkovich - Community Development Department: RAP pages
34-37. Budget total, 1991/92, $85,511,147 - 1992/93,
$63,585,205. As part of her presentation, Mrs. Stipkovich
elaborated on the progress made, the projects in process and
the goals for the coming year in the downtown redevelopment
area. She also briefed two new areas which were transferred
from Administration to Community Development - Economic
Development and JTPA programs.

police officers working in the DARE program serving
36 schools in the district. The school district was going to
provide one more, but that position was cut because of their
budget. The department is presently working on a grant and
possibly could get that position funded. The school district
has also said if there is any funding freed up, it will be
devoted to the DARE program. Relative to the gang detail,
the task force has been reorganized. Two grant positions
have been funded through Community Block Grant Funds. They
also reallocated four other positions, took the crime task
force and moved some of the responsibilities around, gave the
responsibility of gang enforcement to seven individuals. He
also confirmed for the Mayor that the department has 344
sworn police officers at present.
Labor Relations Director, Garry McRae - Labor Relations: RAP
page 64. 1991/92, $511,950. 1992/93, $518,490. No capital
improvements. Expenditure reductions 1991/92, $10,804.
1992/93, $66,949.
President, Bill Snyder - Visitor and Convention Bureau: RAP
page 25. 1991/92, $3,445,440. 1992/93, $3,720,720.
Mr. Snyder briefed the Council on the present status of the
Convention and Visitor industry in Anaheim noting that growth
has been accomplished despite ever increasing competition.
The trend has been steadily upward until about mid 1990.
Economic conditions have taken a toll on Convention and
Visitor business primarily on the tourism side. However,
even though there has been an impact, they intend to maintain
a good position in the community. He then briefed the
current and future market strategies of the Bureau. In
concluding his presentation, Mr. Snyder stated he would be
misleading the Council if he said the Visitor and Convention
area was not going to face interesting times this year. He
feels that conventions are going to recover by the end of the
year but that tourism is going to take a while longer.
(Mr. Snyder submitted a two page document to the Council
showing convention attendance and bookings from 1983 to 1990
as well as a statement regarding tourism on page 2 - made a
part of the record.)
City Manager Ruth. With that, department presentations are
concluded today. The balance of the presentations will be
presented at the hearing on June 18, 1991. It is obvious
from the presentations made that there has been a very
concerted effort on the part of all departments to reduce
expenditures to a large degree. There have been reductions

After his presentation, Mr. Jarvi answered questions posed by
Council Member Daly relative to the Parkway Tree Program and
the Street Tree Master Plan.
Mr. Jarvi stated that the latter is not in the budget. One
small segment, about 5% has been done; Jack Kudron, Parks
Superintendent. There are 19 tree trimming districts and one
district has been master planned, District 12, which
represents about one tenth of the trees in the City. The
department would have asked for funding to continue the
master planning process except for the budget reduction;
Mr. Jarvi verified for Council Member Daly that the Street
Tree Master Plan is being held in abeyance at this time.
Steve Swaim, Superintendent, Community Services. Answering
Mayor Hunter he stated that it would cost approximately
$67,000 to reinstate the positions that have been decreased
in Project S.A.Y.

should amount to at least $405,000 in 1991/92 and $450,462 in
1992/93.

Council Member Ehrle. At present the City is in a holding
pattern or even reducing staff. In the future when there is
an increase in activity, he does not want to hire additional
people only to have to give them their 'pink slip' later on.
He would prefer that wherever possible' if the department
could anticipate contracting those positions out as demand
begins to increase.
City Manager Ruth. When service of that nature can be
contracted out successfully, they will do that every time it
occurs. What has been done in the past, they have
temporarily employed retired inspectors and found that it has
worked quite well.
Council Member Daly. It is common practice in local
government to contract for such services. He feels it is a
realistic approach.

City Hallt Anaheimt California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 11. 1991, 2=00 P.M..
in positions - 97 ~ositions City-wide, practically all
General Fund Capital Improvement programs have been
eliminated and there have been reduced operating expenses.
Concern still remains relative to actions to be taken by the
State. Until those decisions are made, there could be
further impacts with a further reduction in revenues
committed to the City.
Staff has looked at a variety of revenue options which have
been studied over a period of time recognizing that many of
those carry significant responsibility in terms of trying to
generate additional revenue for the City to balance the
budget. The major concern has been after reviewing the
budgets and the potential cute that would have to be made in
order to balance the budget, that further reductions could
have a devastating effect on the ability to deliver quality
service to the community, particularly in the areas of public
safety. Staff is recommending for Council consideration at
the appropriate time the initiation of'. a Utility Users Tax.
Staff has looked at revenue options but a variety would not
generate sufficient revenues to combine for the shortfall and
not protect against future shortfalls. A Utility Users Tax
would be a stable income and an equitable form of revenue for
the City to levy and bridge the gap between revenues and
expenditures in the proposed budget plan. A 3 per cent tax
would barely balance the budget; would not consider State
reductions in revenues, and would not address the need for
increased public services particularly public safety and
particularly in the Police Department. Staff is asking the
Council to consider the implementation of the Utility Users
Tax at a 4% level perhaps excluding cable tv. The City
Attorney has drafted ordinances at both the 3% and 4% level
with and without cable tv.
Mayor Hunter. He asked if copies of the proposed ordinances
were available noting that any Council Member could offer any
or all of the ordinances for first reading today but any
action relative to adoption would take place at the next
Council meeting on June 18, 1991.
Before any further action was taken on the ordinances, City
Manager Ruth noted that the Chamber of Commerce was in the
audience and would like to present their report relative to
the proposed City budget.
Mr. Chris Van Gorder, Chairman, Blue Ribbon Committee,
Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. (See Blue Ribbon Committee
report - 1991/92, City of Anaheim Resource Allocation Plan
approved May 29, 1991 which was previously submitted - made a
348
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 11, 1991, 2:00 P.M.
part of the record.) Mr. Van Gorder read the two page report
and in doing so gave additional comments and insights into
the conclusion reached in the report. The report noted,
'Given the shortfall in revenues for fiscal year 1990/91 and
the forecast for another deficit year in fiscal year 1991/92
the Committee made the decision to forego the normal report
and instead focus on the City deficit and methods of
correction.' He emphasized that of great concern to the
Chamber is the specter of higher taxes and fees to
businesses. 'It was ultimately decided to recommend that the
City Council not raise fees and taxes to solve this
problem." The City cannot continue to answer budgetary
problems by hitting the private enterprise checkbook. He
concluded his presentation by asking if the City cannot
become more efficient at this difficult time, when can they
expect it. He gave some suggestions and recommendations on
what might be done.
Council Member Daly then posed questions to Mr. Van Gorder
noting that he (Van Gorder) mentioned that the Committee had
looked at some privatization opportunities in some of the
City departments. He asked if they were prepared today to
give the Council some example where they thought contracting
out might be beneficial.
Mr. Van Gorder stated they were not prepared to do so at this
time. One of the areas mentioned today was relative to
inspection services. Another area that was discussed with
the City Manager and staff was relative to animal control.
He is certain there are a lot of examples and opportunities.
Council Member Daly. He asked Mr. Van Gorder if he were
empowered to speak on behalf of the Committee and the Chamber
or whether or not some of the Chamber members would be
interested in serving on a Task Force with City staff to look
at each department and for opportunities for contracting and
report back to the Council in 60 days or sooner. He feels
there are some obvious places to look - the Golf Course,
parts of Data Processing and Street Sweeping. He's going to
ask the Council next week to formally direct staff to proceed
on a department by department privatization study and to
request the Chamber to assist. The goal is to have private
sector people on the Committee do the study.
Mr. Van Gorder stated they would be happy to do that.
Mr. Hunter opened the hearing to the public and asked to hear from anyone
who wished to speak on the proposed Resource Allocation Plan.
349
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 11, 1991, 2:00 P.M.
Paul Bostwick, 1411 South Anaheim Boulevard. He served on
the Blue Ribbon Committee. Government decried the passage of
Proposition 13 but services have been taken care of.
Recently issues were on the Municipal Ballot that were
rejected by Anaheim citizens because they were too
expensive. For every problem there is an answer and
sometimes the result is a real benefit. Pink slips need to
be given and budgets cut. Cut people and provide service for
the people and not the employees of the City.
Dick Clark, Rockwell International. (Member of the Blue
Ribbon Committee.) City staff has proposed a Utility Users
Tax. When Mr. Van Gorder reported that such an increase
would cost one utility user in Anaheim over $300,000 a year,
he was referring to Rockwell. The City needs to tackle the
problem. They have to take the hard choice and cut people
but not in Police or Fire and people that support their
children. They are trying to stay in business and to stay in
the City of Anaheim. Increases of the nature proposed will
not help them. He is asking for consideration on holding the
line on taxes particularly utilities which will hit them the
hardest of all.
Council Member Simpson. He surmises that Mr. Clark and Mr.
Bostwick are saying, leave public safety alone. If this is
done they need to realize that the aggregate cuts to the
remainder of the City out of discretionary funds is 23.5 per
cent and not the 6 or 7 per cent that has been proposed. The
rest of the City's work force will be cut by 23 per cent.
Another point when it is stated the City has not cut
positions, beginning last October when the City anticipated
budget difficulties, a hiring and promotional freeze was
instituted. The 61 full time vacancies occurred because of
the hiring freeze. Had they gone ahead and hired and
promoted under normal circumstances, 97 people would be out
~he door.
City Manager James Ruth. Police and Fire represent 54 per
cent of the total City General Fund budget.
Rick Vaughn, 1764 West Brentwood Place (Member of the Blue
Ribbon Committee). He does not believe the citizens are open
to a tax increase. In the March Special Election, a proposed
increase in property tax assessment was defeated. In May, a
proposed County-wide increase in the Sales Tax was defeated.
The citizens are not in the mood for a Utility Users Tax on
top of what the State is considering. There is a great deal
of talk about eliminating positions. The issue is not
35O
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 11, 1991, 2:00 P.M.
positions but payroll. What was it last year, this year and
what will it be next year. The same struggle is going on in
the private sector. Payroll has to be reduced considerably
before considering any type of tax increase.
Joe Brian, representing the Anaheim Police Association, 508
North Anaheim Boulevard. No one wants to see increases in
anything. As far as cutting positions, unless Mr. Bostwick
has been there, he feels he does not know what he is talking
about. He sat in on one of the meetings of the Chamber.
Looking back historically, he recalls when the Chamber for a
number of years chastised the Police Department relative to
the number of personnel they had at the time. He feels the
department is in the position they are in at present because
of some of the things the Chamber did. They are hurting and
cannot cut. Crime is escalating and more Police are needed.
He also stated that there are more businesses in Anaheim
than Santa Ana. Santa Ana collects $6,000,000 a year in
Business License Tax whereas in Anaheim it is about
$3,000,000. For about 20 years, Anaheim's fee for a Business
License was $25.00. Relative to cutting back on 'bodies'
even if it is not a human body going out the door, it is a
position that would be filled but will not be filled. It is
a service that is not going to be performed. Relative to
privatization and the Task Force, residential groups, senior
citizens and a variety of people should be involved and not
just the business people of Anaheim.
Donna Hinson, 2106 South June (Member of the Blue Ribbon
Committee). She is a resident of Anaheim, a senior citizen.
When the Business License tax was raised about two years ago
she spoke and stated that she had raised four children in
Anaheim but knew some of her children were going to have to
leave the City if something was not done. Two have left
because they could not make a go of it in Anaheim. The
Council needs to think about the small people as well as the
large. If they do not stand behind the small people, none of
the Council is going to be reelected.
Mayor Hunter. The Council has difficult decisions to make.
The public hearing on the budget will be continued to the
next meeting. Before the Council at this time are four
ordinances.
Mayor Hunter introduced all four ordinances for first reading.
(1). ORDINANCE - INTRODUCTION: AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 2.13 TO TITLE

B17. 179: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3241:
REQUESTED BY: FRANK ELFEND, ELFEND ASSOCIATES, INC.,
4675 MacArthur Court, Suite 660, Newport Beach, CA 92660.
The property is located at 201 West Katella.
The petitioner is requesting an extension of time to expire
June 19, 1992 to comply with conditions of approval.
Conditional Use Permit No. 3241 is to permit a 12-story,
384 unit hotel.
354
City Hall, Anaheim, California-COUNCIL MINUTES-June 11, 1991, 5:00 P.M.
Submitted was report dated June 3, 1991 from the Planning
Director, Joel Fickrecommending the requested time extension
subject to two conditions (A and B) being satisfied within a
period of 90 days from the date the Council approves the time
extension.
City Clerk Sohl announced that staff is no longer recommending
Condition (A) which reads: Irrevocably offer to dedicate to the City of
Anaheim additional right-of-way along Katella Avenue westerly of Haster
Street (Condition No. 30).
Joel Fick, Planning Director. Planning has modified its
recommendation. The time extension for one year is still
being recommended as requested. Relative to the two
conditions, (A) and (B), the applicant has a problem making
dedication on Katella (condition (A)) and checking with staff
from the Utilities Department, the City does not have any
projects planned for the coming year in that vicinity;
therefore, condition (A) has been eliminated. He then
explained for council Member Daly that the City does not need
the right-of-way directly in front of the property until the
property is developed. The Conditional Use Permit requires
dedication prior to the issuance of the building permit.
Mr. Frank Elfend, Elfend and Associates. They had discussed
the matter with Mr. Fick earlier this afternoon and are
acceptable to inclusion of Item (B). It is important for the
record that approximately one year ago the Council approved
the project and two other projects were considered at that
time for all-suites hotel projects in the vicinity of
Katella, Clementine and Haster. At about the same time,
staff and the City were reviewing, revising and updating the
Zoning Code and preparing other studies to improve the
aesthetics Of the area and encourage quality development.
With that objective and since all three of the hotels have
located within approximately the same vicinity of each other,
they sat down with staff to suggest a mechanism to encourage
a consolidation of contiguous parcels in the form of a master
plan. After considerable analysis and discussion, the master
plan process was included in the Zoning Code and the wording
coordinated with the City Attorney's office. With that
provision, their client acquired contiguous parcels to
facilitate development of the area with a quality master
plan. Concurrently, they informed staff through
correspondence and the public record that this effort would
necessitate time extensions for the approved hotels. It was
something that was anticipated at the time. The time
extension request is a logical progression of the manner in
355
City Hall, Anaheim, California-COUNCIL MINUTES-June 11, 1991, 5:00 P.M.
which they have attempted to work to organize a better land
plan for the property overall. Also this project was
exempted from the City's moratorium from the Zoning Code
Update Design Guidelines and City's Specific Plan.
MOTION: Council Member Hunter moved to approve the requested extension of
time on Conditional Use Permit No. 3241 to expire June 19, 1992 and
eliminating Condition (A) as outlined in the staff report of June 3,
1991. Council Member Ehrle seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Cl. 107: APPLICATION FOR A POOL ROOM PERMIT - KEN'S FAMILY BILLIARDS:
The application was requested by Kenneth L. Dinsmore, 16892 Green Street,
#1, Huntington Beach, California 92649. The location is 1895 West
Katella Avenue on the north side of Katella, east of Nutwood Street. The
petitioner has submitted an application to operate 15 pool tables at Ken's
Family Billiards.
Submitted was report dated May 29, 1991 from the Planning Department/Code
Enforcement Division recommending that the Council deny the subject
application.
MOTION: Council Member Pickler moved to deny the subject application.
Before other action was taken, City Attorney White stated that although
this is not technically a hearing, he would recommend that the Council
give an opportunity to the applicant to address the Council or to anyone
who is opposed.
John Poole, Code Enforcement Manager, answering the Mayor
reported that staff is recommending denial because in this
area they have had 204 police contacts in the past year. The
whole area has deteriorated and staff believes if a pool hall
permit is issued, it would bring about further
deterioration. They also surveyed the neighborhood and
businesses. He then briefed the results of the survey listed
on page 3 of the report. In concluding, he reiterated
staff's opinion that the issuance of the permit would cause
further deterioration.
Mayor Hunter. There is a strong recommendation to deny the
application. He asked the applicant kf he had an opportunity
to look at the staff report which listed the 204
contacts/incidents that have occurred in the area.
Mr. Kenneth Dinsmore. He is the applicant. What they are
planning is a family oriented establishment. He knew there
was some objection to beer so he withdrew that request. They
are not going to create a hangout. He understands there has
356
City Hall, Anaheim, California-COUNCIL MINUTES-June 11, 1991, 5:00 P.M.
been a problem in the area. The building has been vacant for
11 months. Once the business is open, he will try to
alleviate any loitering during the peak hours and if
necessary would hire a security guard to ensure that there
was no loitering. He does not want any hanging around inside
or outside. Some neighbors have indicated there are three
pool halls in one mile. Those are beer bars that have coin
operated pool tables. This is not what he is suggesting.
Concern over increased traffic problems has been voiced. The
building is located at Katella and Nutwood. At the most,
70 cars per day will be using the parking lot which is one
fifth of one percent of the total traffic flow on both
Katella and Nutwood of 39,700 cars per day. He proposes to
use three of the sites that are available. Any business that
goes in will create a bigger traffic flow. The fact that he
will be on-site and does not want any loitering will
eliminate any problem. There is the problem with kids
partying in an empty parking lot at present. He has talked
with one of the neighbors who voiced the opinion that a
security guard would alleviate the problem they are
experiencing now.
Mayor Hunter. He relayed his experiences in that area 25
years ago when he was a policeman expressing that it was
pretty tough even then. The proposed pool hall might be a
nice business but proposed in the wrong area. There is a
strong recommendation for denial considering the 204 contacts
with the Police. The Council is trying to clean up areas
like this. He reiterated the pool hall itself is not wrong
but the location is. It will not work. The report is one of
the worst he has seen since he has been on the Council.
Council Member Daly. It is cases like this that illustrate
why the Council has asked the Planning Department to make a
recommendation on each and every proposal. It would be bad
planning to approve the application. He wanted to know if
anyone was present in favor of the application; there was no
response.
Mr. Dinsmore then asked who was opposed; by a show of hands,
there were approximately 30 people in the Chamber audience
opposed.
MOTION: Mayor Hunter moved to deny the application for a pool room permit
for Ken's Family Billiards at 1895 West Katella Avenue by reason of the
location where the pool room is sought to be located that the conducting
or carrying on of the pool room would be detrimental to the public order
due to the citizen complaints and Police contacts in the area as set forth
in the May 29, 1991 staff report. Council Member Pickler seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
