FORESTRY GRANT PROGRAM; Submitted was report dated August 1, 1989, from the
Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Services, Chris Jarvt, recommending
approval of submittal of the subject application.
Councilman Daly. As pointed out in the subject report from Mr. Jarvi, there
are 10,000 street tree vacancies in Anaheim at present along residential and
arterial streets. He is asking that staff devise an aggressive plan to
address this deficiency recognizing that the City is working on approximately
10% of that deficiency in the current budget year. He feels it is important
that they become aggressive in that area and that staff bring back any
ordinances that might be necessary in developing a tree program.
Councilman Pickler. Anaheim has many needs. Before asking staff to pursue
this issue in an aggressive manner, he would first like.to have an overall
picture relative to the City's needs so that priorities can be set.
Councilman Daly. He is not suggesting any specific level of funding. He just
wants facts, figures and an analysis by staff to develop a concept to be
considered by the Council in light of other budgetary needs.
Answering Councilman Ehrle, City Manager Simpson explained a number of items
will be considered under the Vision 2000 Program which is scheduled to be
discussed by the Council on August 22, 1989 along with budget enhancement
packages and recommendations. Staff will be asking Council consideration on
those items. It may be that some of the information Councilman Daly is
requesting is readily available and staff might be able to have that
information at that time if the Council wants to defer discussion until then.
At that time if a more definitive study is needed, Council can decide if they
wish to move forward.

127: DISCUSSION - POTENTIAL ACTION - PLACEMENT OF BALLOT ISSUE ON THE
NOVEMBER. 1989 BALLOT; Mr. Wesley Willard, 320 North Park Vista Street. He
is present on behalf of the Anaheim Political Action Committee (APAC) to speak
against depriving Anaheim citizens from electing their Mayor. APAC questions
bringing forth this issue in the absence of Mayor Hunter who is accessible and
listens to the electorate.
Ben Bay, 2148 West Grayson. He is present mainly to urge the Council again to
strongly consider going back to the original method within the Charter of
selecting the Mayor which handled the Mayor's appointment and the will of the
majority of the Council. Former Mayor Bay then outlined his reasons
summarized as follows why it should be put on the ballot, not that this should
be the only issue placed on the ballot. The Council may wish to come up with
two or three ~ays to solve the dilemma: The original City government set up
by the City Charter is a Council-Member form of government and never intended
that the Mayor be separate from the Council. The Mayor is one member of
five. With an elected Mayor, every two years a political division arises
across the Council. It casts a false image to the people that because they
vote for the Mayor separately, he/she has more power. That is not true and
should not even be implied with a Council/Manager form of government.
The City's Charter form of government says that the Mayor will be the
ceremonial Head of the Council and normally speak for the Council and City.
He feels it is extremely important that whoever the Mayor is serve at the
pleasure of the majority of the Council, one reason being the tremendous
amount of additional campaign money needed to be raised every two years
ranging between $200,000 and $300,000. Under the City's form of government,
policy decisions are made by a majority of five Council Members. He feels the
Mayor should be serving at the pleasure of at least three members of the
Council because in that way the Mayor will be speaking 90% of the time as a
majority of the Council, speaking for the Council which ~peaks for
policy-making of the City.
He urged the Council whether the issue is put on the November ballot or future
ballots but certainly prior to the next City election that they put choices on
that ballot and let the people decide. It will take more than just putting
the issue on the ballot because the pro and con arguments of electing a Mayor
or letting the Council go back and select should be expressed across the City
and the people should be knowledgeable of the government in the City. If
choices are put on the ballot, that a choice be included of going back to the
way it was before, since that was the intention of the City's for~ of
government, that the Mayor be selected and serve as a ceremonial Head and
speak for the Council.
Answering questions posed by Councilman Daly, Mr. Bay stated he hopes it is a
long time before the City reaches a point where they have to consider things
such as Districts, which he is opposed to, or a Mayor-Council form of
government which he is ~lso opposed to. He does not believe elected officials
795
City Hall. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 8, 1989, 1;30 p,M,
in most instances are the best managers or administrators. When the Council
hires the best and still has control, it is the most efficient form of city
government. He thinks the basic Charter of the City is well written and
should be defended strongly and even to the point of changing back closer to
what it was originally. Changing the Charter is to change the Constitution of
the City. He is a strong believer in the Charter and the Constitution.
Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood thanked Mr. Bay for his input. She does not feel anyone
is in a better position to speak to the issue since Mr. Bay was an elected
Mayor, had Chaired a Charter Review Committee ten years ago, served on the
Redevelopment Commission and served nine years on the City Council.
Mttch Caldwell, 902 West Broadway (Member of the present Charter Review
Committee). Adding to Mr. Bay's presentation, he feels the sooner the City
can eliminate the "spectacle" of electing a Mayor every two years, the
better. He is against the "obscene" amounts of money raised for mayoral
campaigns as well as the mud slinging that occurs. However, he is concerned
over the merits of putting the issue on the November ballot for a Special
Election which will cost approximately $60,000. If he thought spending that
amount at this time would get them over this issue, he would favor it. The
difficult thing is going to be finding a way to make the electorate understand
what is being proposed and why. He disagrees with Mr. Wtllard that they would
be taking something away from the citizens.
Bob Baker, 401 North Deerfield. Selection instead of election of the Mayor is
not a responsible way to choose a Mayor of any city. The present method is a
slightly better but inane method. Last week it was reported that the Charter
Review Committee will recommend the Council appointed method in its final
report before the courtesy of public debate, input or even a preliminary
report. The Council should and could cap all campaign contributions gathered
and spent in all elections. The current method of electing a Mayor is
flawed. Requiring a person to be a Council Member for two years is elitist,
and not even a requirement of high political office. If the Mayor's position
is purely ceremonial, then two years as a Council Member makes no difference.
The people should retain the right to elect all their representatives. It is
time to step into the next century with a truly representative City Council.
Mitch Caldwell. For clarification, he reported that all the Charter Review
Committee meetings are open to the public and the location, date and time is
available to anyone. The City Clerk would be more than happy to relay that
information. The Committee will make additional efforts in the future to have
the public attend and get their input. The Committee would very much like to
have such input.
Jo Ann Barnett, Chairperson of the Charter Review Committee. The Committee
has been meeting and working on changes they want to see come forward to the
Council. Their charge is not to bring those changes forward until March of
1990. The issue of the election of the Mayor is one issue that they have
discussed. The Committee feels the way some Council Members feel - having the
majority of the Council elect their Mayor. Their arguments are the same as
those posed by Mr. Bay. The Committee has not submitted any changes as yet
796
City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES - August 8, 1989, 1:30 P,M.
because they are going to do so as a package. They wanted to have public
hearings before concluding. The Committee has gone through sections and
approved their changes. They want to go back for a total review after
receiving public input before coming to the Council with their final report.
She confirmed that their agenda includes taking input from members of the
public. The Committee is not meeting during the summer. They were asked to
consider the subject item but a quorum was not available to do so.
Floyd Farano, Member of the Charter Review Committee, speaking as a citizen.
He endorses the comments of Mr. Bay and Jo Ann Barnett. The Committee will
continue their deliberations and look forward to seeing Mr. Baker at the
Committee meetings as well as other citizens so that the thoughts that the
Committee brings back to the Council will be reflective not only of the
Committee members, but also reflect the attitudes and thoughts of the public.
Councilman Pickler. He spoke to the whole Council about this issue
individually and received the consent of all to discuss it as well as the
consent of Mayor Hunter. They have regularly been receiving the minutes of
the Charter Review Committee. He is not going to ask the Council to place
anything on the ballot in November, but will wait until the report of the
Charter Review Committee is submitted. Speaking with the Mayo~, he (Mayor
Hunter) is opposed to anything but the election of the Mayor by the citizens.
He (Pickler) brought the matter forward to determine if there were any issues
the Council would like to place on the November ballot so they could do so
before the deadline passed.
Councilman Ehrle. He agreed to discuss the matter but would never vote to
place anything on the ballot without receiving the Charter Review Committee
recommendations and before the public hearings the Gommittee is going to
have. When the issue of direct election of the Mayor came about in 1974,
there were reasons. He was the one who started the petition initiative that
brought the change about. To say that the issue should not be re-evaluated at
this time would be wrong but he believes the people will say loud and clear
that they do not want their voices to be taken away, and that they want to
elect their representatives. As well, there are many other issues to discuss
such as Council Districts, limiting campaign contributions, etc. Otherwise he
will save all his arguments for the debate.
City Attorney White. Answering Councilwoman Kaywood, he spoke to the issue of
limiting campaign contributions. The Supreme Court has ruled that cities and
counties cannot constitutionally limit the amount of money that is spent but
they may limit the amount that is collected from individual sources. He then
explained the state limitation on campaign contributions presently in effect.
After additional Council comments, the Council took no action to place any
ballot issues on the November, 1989 ballot.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
John Merrttt, ML Media Multtviston Cable TV. He is present to apprise the
Council of additional information which is included in the appeal ML has filed
with the City Attorney's Office yesterday based on additional information,
797
City Hall, A~ahetm, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 8, 1989, 1;30 P,M.
some of which he would like to address, other which is still under the
discovery process which will again highlight the fact that the applicant for a
cable TV franchise in the City, Empire Cable TV, is not qualified to hold that
franchise. (1) A full disclosure of illegal developer agreements has not been
resolved. There are conflicting applications on file. The April application
from Yorba Linda from Empire (Yorba Ltnda Cable) says that they have reached
agreements in principle to provide cable service and a later application says
there are no agreements. (2) The April application failed to disclose
litigation filed in February against Yorba Ltnda Cable. (3) They have become
aware of a flagrant violation of the law within the City which continues at
this time - violation of City Charter Section 1406. Any action that requires
a franchise must not be performed until the franchise is active and in force.
Within hours after the Council approved a franchise to Yorba Linda Cable,
before executing the Mitigation Agreement, before the 30-day window allowing
the franchise to go into effect - Yorba Linda Cable blatantly handed out their
business card in the City and in violation of the City Charter installed no
less than 5,000 feet of conduit in Anaheim Hills and they have continued to do
so. They have been informed by City staff as recently as 20 minutes ago that
the Mitigation Agreement has not yet been delivered to the City Attorney. He
asked that the City Council not allow this flagrant violation of the City
Charter to continue. If they do not obey the law now, what will they do when
they are operating in the Hills.
RECESS: By general consent the Council recessed for ten minutes. (3:20 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS; The Mayor Pro Tem called the meeting to order, all Council
Members being present, with the exception of Councilman Hunter. (3:45 p.m.)

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Mr. Havadjia, 15621 Silver Spur Road, Riverside, CA 92504,
owner of the property and restaurant.
He referred to the last meeting on this project held June 3,
1985 when the Traffic Engineer asked how long it would be before
the City installed the traffic signal at the intersection of La
Palma and Richfield. Mr. Singer replied that it was a No. 2
priority and continued to say if he (Havadjia) wanted to have
the drive-thru lane any sooner, it would require that they pay
one-quarter of the cost of the traffic light. That would have
expedited the signal but it was never made a condition for the
drive-thru lane as they understood. They did not have the money
to pay for the signal and decided to wait until the traffic
light was to be installed. It is now three years later and the
light is still not installed and he wants to know why. Two
blocks east of his restaurant is another restaurant called Tom's
Place which has a drive-thru but he never had to pay $25,000 to
the City for the signal. One and half miles to the west of his
restaurant at Blue Gum & La Palma another signal was installed
within the last year. Across from his property a
300,000 square-foot building was built with 600 parking spaces
or more developed a few months before his property and they also
did not pay the $25,000. He feels the City is being unfair to
him. He opened up the drive-thru lane over a year ago and there
has been no congestion or any problems. It is as safe now as it
was before he opened the drive-thru. A traffic light will help
things but the traffic condition was pre-existing long before
the opening of the restaurant. They expect the Council to let
them continue with the drive-thru lane.
Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood asked how it was that he opened the
drive-thru lane since he did not have perngission to do so; Mr.
HavadJia presented a copy of the Negative Declaration from the
City Clerk's Office which under Project Description stated that
it was to permit a drive-thru lane addition and on-sale beer in
an existing restaurant. It also stated that the Planning
Commission approved the described project May 27, 1989 and made
the determination that the project will have no significant
impact on the environment.
Annika Santalahtt, Zoning Administrator.
Condition No. 15 of Conditional Use Permit No. 2760 specifically
states that development is to be in accordance with plans
provided and that the approved use is limited to an enclosed
sit-down restaurant without any drive-thru facilities.
City Clerk Sohl also clarified that the letter to which
Mr. Havadjia referred is a notice regarding the Negative
803
City Hall, ~naheim, California
COUNCIL MINUTES - August 8, 1989, 1;30 P,M,
Declaration relative to an Environmental Impact Report which is
filed with the County as a standard procedure. Mr. Havadjla
read a description of what was originally proposed before the
Planning Commission. He also received a resolution from the
City Council indicating what staff said relative to Condition
No. 15.
Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood.
The Planning Commission denied the drive-thru and on-sale beer
on May 27, 1989 and the Council denied it on June 3, 1989; Mr.
Havadjia said the notice he received was dated June 23, 1987.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator.
There was an interim CUP in 1987, Conditional Use Permit
No. 2912 which was with the drive-thru lane including on-sale
beer and wine. The Planning Commission denied that but the
notice of determination on Negative Declaration was sent out in
any case; City Clerk Sohl reported that the form sent to the
County has since been revised and it is now clearer. Very often
the applicant does misunderstand what is going on with notices
of determination.
Mr. Havadjia clarified that he is not selling beer but he does
have the drive-thru. He installed the lane approximately
11 months ago after he received the notice from the City.
Anntka Santalahti.
She confirmed that Code Enforcement picked up the violation that
the lane was installed without approval. It subsequently went
before the Planning Commission which approved the drive-thru.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer.
The Planning Commission at the last hearing on the subject
approved the drive-thru lane and excused the developer from any
participation in the traffic signal. A tgaffic signal is still
planned for the intersection. The condition for the 25% cost of
the traffic signal was conditioned by the Planning Commission
originally. It was not a staff recommendation. Twenty-five
percent is approximately $25,000. The parking study in that
area determined that there was probably adequate parking
on-site. He continued that there was substantial discussion
relative to the payment of a fee for traffic signal installation
and the Planning Commission had several numbers given to them -
$8,000 was one. In finality, they did away with the whole thing.
Mr. Havadjta.
He offered the Planning Commission that he would pay 1/5 of the
traffic signal. One of the Planning Commissioners asked when
the light was to be installed and the traffic Engineer stated it
would take three years no matter what he (Havadjta) paid and
that was the reason the Commission said he would not have to pay
804
City Hall. A~ahetm, California - COUNCIL MINUTES
August 8, 1989, 1;30 P,M,
anything. The traffic signal has to be installed. He believes
it is in the next two-year budget cycle. The cost of the signal
will be approximately $100,000. The Planning Commission waived
participation in the traffic signal noting that the applicant
had paid his fair share in the form of assessment fees (Mr.
Havadjia confirmed that he paid fees of approximately $560).
Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood asked if anyone was present who wished to speak on this
public hearing; there being no response, she closed the public hearing.
Extensive discussion followed between Council Members and staff revolving
around a determination of an appropriate contribution to the traffic signal to
be installed at the subject intersection by the petitioner at the conclusion
of which, upon questioning, Mr. Havadjia stated he would contribute $5,000
towards to the traffic signal if it was installed in a timely manner.
Paul Singer.
He reiterated that the signal has been included in the current
two-year budget cycle. Payment of the fee should be payable now
and if the signal is not installed within 24 months that it be
refunded.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION; On motion by Councilman
Pickler, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, 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. Councilman Hunter was absent.
MOTION CARRIED.
WAIVER OF READING - RESOLUTION; The title of the following resolution was
read by the City Clerk. (Resolution No. 89R-352)
Councilman Pickler moved to waive the reading in full o~ the resolution.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Hunter was absent.
MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Pickler offered Resolution No. 89R-352 for adoption, granting
Conditional Use Permit No. 3169 with the owner to pay $5,000 now as a
contribution to the traffic signal and the signal to be installed within 24
months. If not installed within that period then the $5,000 is to be
refunded. Refer to Resolution Book.

Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood. She believes there was some confusion on this item.
They only had 57% of the parking. The report states that no additional
fast-food be permitted beyond what is allowed by the permit. They have 4,350
feet existing. She asked if they were approved for the 2,160 feet they are
requesting.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. If the Council does not set this for
a public hearing, there will have to be a nunc pro tunc correction to the
Commission resolution. The Commission approved it but they did not allow any
additional restaurant space. Two of the conditions would have to be modified
to read that only a total of 4,350 feet of restaurant uses shall be permitted
as currently exist and eliminate the reference to the future square footage of
restaurants because it is to be straight retail.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer. The parking is adequate providing there are no
additional food establishments.

179; REQUEST FOR REHEARING - LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE NO, 89-02:
REQUESTED BY: Kathleen and Delbert Swanson
LOCATION/REQUEST: The property is located at 2426 West Transit Avenue. The
request was to establish a large family day care facility for a maximum of
12 children.
The Family Day Care No. 89-02 was approved (with added condition) by the
Zoning Administrator, Decision No. ZA89-35.
A letter appealing the Zoning Administrator's decision was submitted by Robert
G. Woolsey and public hearing scheduled July 18, 1989.
At the public hearing of July 18, 1989, the request to establish the large
family day care was denied by the City Council under Resolution No. 89R-304.
Letter dated August 3, 1989 accompanied by an Affidavit of Merit was submitted
by Kathleen A. Swanson requesting a rehearing on the subject application.
MOTION; Councilwoman Kaywood moved to deny the request for a rehearing on the
subject day care.
Before any further action was taken, Councilman Pickler stated that when the
matter was heard, he and Councilman Ehrle were absent but they have read the
minutes of the proceedings.
City Attorney White. Both Council Members will be able to vote on the request
for the rehearing. The request is based upon the information contained in the
affidavit and the application which is part of today's agenda material. It
should not be based upon evidence received at the hearing itself.
Councilman Daly thereupon seconded the motion to deny the request for a
rehearing on a Large Family Day Care No. 89-02. Councilman Hunter was
absent. MOTION CARRIED.

179: ORDINANCE NO. 5058 INTRODUCTION: Councilman Ehrle offered Ordinance
No. 5058 for introduction.
ORDINANCE NO, 5058; AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING THE ZONING
MAP REFERRED TO IN TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ZONING.
(Amending Title 18 to rezone property under Reclassification No. 88-89-03
located at 1780 West Lincoln Avenue from the CL zone into the RM-1200 zone.)
114/107; FENCING OF ABANDONED PROPERTIES; Councilman Ehrle. He has received
many calls regarding the large number of abandoned properties in the City
either in foreclosure, or where construction is taking place or has been
started with no further activity. The callers have been concerned about
children playing on those properties since there is no fencing on most to
prevent access. He asked if there is anything the City can do to contact the
developers or owners through Code Enforcement demanding fencing of those
properties.
City Attorney White. One of the two ways available would be through the
City's existing nuisance ordinance that could be used in the event the
property attracts small children and could be dangerous in its current state.
If the status of buildings are such that they are dangerous to children
playing on the property, it could be handled through Code Enforcement.
Initially contacts could be made to all persons who have an ownership
interest. If anyone interested can provide that information to him or the
Code Enforcement Office, appropriate action will be taken. The other avenue
is through the Building Department where the building itself is in a state of
disrepair. They would have the ability, through the abatement of dangerous
buildings code, to go onto the property to notice it and send notices to
anyone who has ownership interest and have the problem abated or the City can
make the improvements to the property and then lean the property for the
cost. The avenue of liening the property is available in both instances.
Councilman Ehrle. He would also like the Building Inspector to check to see
when the last building inspection took place.
City Attorney White. They will check Building records to see when the last
inspection was made and try to determine how long since there was building
activity on the property.
ADJOURNMENT; Councilwoman Kaywood moved to adjourn.
