A22. 123: AGREEMENT WITH HARDIN OLDSMOBILE - RELOCATION OF HONDA DEALERSHIP:
Approving an agreement with Hardin Oldsmobile in the amount of $407,200 to
relocate its Honda dealership from South Anaheim Boulevard to the Anaheim Auto
Center (Ball Road and 57 Freeway). Submitted was report dated February 7,
1989 from Ronald M. Rothschild, Administrative Services Director, recommending
approval of the agreement.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She asked if the City could be given some kind of
guarantee that it would not lose anything if the agreement is approved.
Mayor Hunter. His understanding is that Mr. Hardin has offered his personal
assets and things of that nature as collateral.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She feels the proposal is a good one and will be very
beneficial to both Hardin Oldsmobile and the City but wants to be certain the
City does not risk losing any part of the loan. If Mr. Hardin could guarantee
that she would be very comfortable with the proposed agreement.
Dennis Hardin, Hardin Oldsmobile. He does not believe anything can be
guaranteed 100% but as far as can be ascertained, the City of Anaheim will be
protected in recouping the funds. If the projected sales do not reach their
predicted level, they have pledged the assets of the company to secure
Anaheim's position as a creditor. Hardin has been in business for 32 years
and plan to be in business for quite a while longer. He would say the City is
very safe and secure.
Councilman Pickler. He noted it is also possible for the City to get its
return in about 4 years if sales stay at the anticipated rate.
City Manager Simpson. Staff believes that is true. They have estimated
conservatively and feel the break-even point is 4 as opposed to 10 years for
which they are granting the money involved.
MOTION; Councilman Pickler moved to approve an agreement with Hardin
Oldsmobile in the amount of $407,200 to relocate its Honda dealership from
South Anaheim Boulevard to the Anaheim Auto Center (Ball Road and 57 Freeway),
as recommended in memorandum dated February 7, 1989 from the Administrative
Services Director. Councilman Hunter seconded the motion. Councilwoman
Kaywood abstained. MOTION CARRIED.
105: APPOINTMENT TO THE COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD; Appointment from the list
of candidates to fill the unscheduled vacancy on the Community Services Board
(Sheri Pignone, June 30, 1990). Councilman Pickler moved to continue the
appointment to the Community Services Board for one week. Councilman Ehrle
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
125
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES February 14, 1989, 1:30 P.M.
105: REVIEW OF ALL CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS: Discussion regarding review
of all City Boards and Commission requested by Mayor Hunter at the meeting of
January 10, 1989, Council Comments section.
Councilman Hunter moved to continue the subject discussion for one week to
Tuesday, February 21, 1989. Councilman Daly seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Pickler stated he has no problem with the
continuance but between now and then if changes are going to be made, he would
like to get some idea of what those might be in order for the Council to have
an opportunity to consider them. He has some comments he would like to
express now so that the Council will know his thoughts. He is questioning
whether all Commissions and Boards need to have seven members, whether terms
should be limited, perhaps two terms would be reasonable, the possibility of
each Council person appointing members with the consensus of a majority
approval of the Council with the remaining two members, if there are seven,
appointed by a majority of the Council at large.
Mayor Hunter. He would like to get more community involvement. Some members
of Boards and Commissions have been serving 15 or 20 years. He feels new
people should be participating as well. More citizens should have an
opportunity to serve. Another question would be if all the present Boards and
Commissions are necessary, does the Council want to sunset some and create
others that would be more beneficial at this point in time such as a
Transportation and Parking Commission. He would like to see fresh input but
keep experience which will create a new balance.
Councilman Pickler. A concern he had which he addressed to the City Attorney
was whether or not the Council can appoint members with the consensus of the
majority of the Council or whether that would be violating the Charter; City
Attorney White stated he would like to have the opportunity to report back to
the Council on that matter.
Councilwoman Kaywood. If members are limited to two terms as suggested by
Councilman Pickler, they will not have the experience Councilman Hunter was
talking about. The Planning Commission is a good example where if they do
away with experience she feels they could make the same mistakes made years
ago. She would he very concerned with placing a limit on terms. The Council
has the power to remove or appoint anyone. She believes in removihg someone
not doing a good job but is very greatful for those giving their time and
energy over many years. Any changes need to be done carefully but never
politically.
A vote was then taken on the motion to continue discussion on the issue to
Tuesday, February 21, 1989. MOTION CARRIED.
105: PROPOSED BOARD AND COMMISSION TRAINING PROGRAMS: Approving the proposed
training programs for City Board and Commission members, and directing staff
to implement these programs, as recommended by the Vision 2000 Task Force on
Board and Commission training. Submitted was report dated February 7, 1989
from the Vision 2000 Task Force on Board and Commission training.
126
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES February 14, 1989, 1:30 P.M.
City Clerk Lee Sohl, Member of the subject Task Force. The charge of Strategy
11 in the Vision 2000 plan was to find some innovative and creative ways to
improve the talent pool for leadership in Anaheim. Citizens and City staff
members who worked on the Committee felt that the Board and Commission
Members, existing and the pool of candidates, were a group of citizens already
motivated to volunteer to do City work and perhaps an untapped source of
leadership. Out of that idea came the training program - the opportunity the
City might want to present to Board and Commission members to learn about the
City's processes, visions and goals.
Cindy King, Assistant to the City Manager, Member of the subject Task Force.
The staff report submitted to the Council delineates the proposal the Task
Force is putting before them today for their consideration. Ms. King gave the
extensive background as to how they arrived at the recommendations presented
to the Council. She also briefed the information contained in the report
attached to which was the data on the three proposed training programs for
Board and Commission Members which she further briefed in detail. In
concluding, Ms. King stated those are the three program/proposals being
presented today and it is up to the Council whether they wish to approve them
all or in part. Implementation is anticipated within the next one to two
years. It could be in fiscal year 1989/90.
Councilman Pickler. He feels this is a program long overdue and complimented
the Task Force on their work and the report. He is looking forward to an
acceleration relative to implementation of the program.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the proposed training programs for City
Board and Commission Members and directing staff to implement these programs
as recommended by the Vision 2000 Task Force on Board and Commission
training. Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood also commented that she was
impressed with the reports and work that went into formulating the plan. It
will answer the question of continued leadership so there will be informed
people not only running for Council, but also serving in the various jobs they
do.
Councilman Ehrle. He feels this program will be extremely beneficial to new
people on Boards and Commissions and would like to see it implemented as soon
as possible.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.

108; REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF PENALTY AND INTEREST ASSESSMENT - QUALITY INNS:
Request from Quality Inns, Inc. for waiver of penalty and interest assessment
in the amount of $3,683.80 - Transient Occupancy Tax. Submitted was report
dated February 7, 1989 from the City Treasurer Mary Turner, recommending
denial of the subject request.
Mr. Bruce Dixon, representing Quality Inns, Anaheim. Quality Inns has
provided proof of mailing of the check for payment of the Transient Occupancy
Tax and asked him to be present to monitor Council's vote on the matter. The
payment was mailed in a timely manner.
Mary Turner, City Treasurer. Referring to her report, she stated that the
first check that was received was not received in a timely fashion. Quality
Inns was billed a delinquency stating that their payment had not been
received. They paid the tax and then Quality Inns was rebilled for the
delinquency and penalty and interest. After receiving the penalty and
interest check, she received what appeared to be the first check dated
November 15, 1988 but postmarked December 30, 1988. Because they were
delinquent, she is recommending that the Council not waive the penalty and
interest.
After additional questions posed to the City Treasurer, Councilwoman Kaywood
moved to deny the request for waiver of penalty and interest assessment in the
amount of $3,683.80 from Quality Inns. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Hunter asked Mr. Dixon if he had any additional
comments; Mr. Dixon answered that he had none.

HEARING SET ON:
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilwoman

PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:

Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - February 2, 1989.
PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated January 4, 1989.
APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Bill Craig, Minister of East Anaheim Christian Church, 2805 East
South Street was present to answer questions.
In answer first to Council questions presented to staff, Art Daw
Deputy City Engineer, explained that a condition of approval
imposed against the previously approved CUP for construction of
the single-family residence on the property was dedication to
32 feet of center line which the applicant has no problem with.
The other condition in conformance with City Code is, in lieu of
the actual widening and relocation of the improvements to the
ultimate location, that a cash payment be made to the City for
future widening of South Street.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
The reason she set the matter was the fact that a 2,000
square-foot single-family house with a garage is being proposed
and the improvements would amount to 18%. The Engineering
Department recommended denial and she agrees with that. The
City is not going to have the funds to do all these things on
its own in the future. It is up to those improving the property
as in every other case to make those improvements or to put up
the cash for the improvements.
Mr. Daw then answered additional questions posed by Councilman
Daly wherein he reported that South Street is not going to be
widened at this point in time and that is the reason for
adopting the cash payment provision in lieu of widening. The
street is on the circulation element as a secondary highway
which provides four travel lanes and parking on each side.
130
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES February 14, 1989, 1:30 P.M.
There are no immediate plans to widen the street. It depends on
when additional right-of-way can be acquired or if it becomes a
real traffic problem. He also reported for Councilman Ehrle
that the traffic count at this time is approximately 4,000 or
5,000 vehicles per day. When the volume reaches 8,000 per day
would be in the realm of necessity to provide additional lanes.
Bill Craig.
A large percentage of the application was on the basis of
combining fees. They have already paid fees of approximately
$8,000. Combined with $11,400 to build one single-family home
they will be paying almost $20,000 in fees. In checking with
their contractor and other contractors, the average is between
$6,000 and $8,000 per single-family unit as they develop. The
reason the church is building the home is because of the high
cost of housing for the minister in Anaheim. They did not know
about the additional $11,400 until November and the CUP was
granted in May. Plans were submitted in July. He first heard
about the zoning problem in November. If they had known before
that, it may have had a bearing on whether or not they would
have gotten as deeply into the project. In addition to the
