she was present to request a continuance in this matter, and thanked the City
Council for so doing.
Robert Zemel, 7330 Stonecreek, Chairman of the Billboard Committee: Pointed
out that the committee members were hoping for a decision on the establishment
of license fees by the Council, to allow the committee to proceed with other
vital issues, such as billboards along freeways, etc. Both committee members
and billboard company representatives had agreed that the fees should be
established prior to consideration of related issues.
Im response to question by Councilman Pickler, Mr. Zemel noted some of the
factors to be considered in determining the need for additional billboards
within the city, i.e., community service messages and local advertising as an
advantage to the city, along with the proposed increased revenues.
Lydia Sullivan, of Gannett Outdoor, Southern California: Stated it was not
their intent to forestall the decision on the revised business license fees,
and she saw no problem with the billboard committee proceeding with their
consideration of standards.
Francis X. Nutto, 2621 S. Jambolaya Street, Anaheim 92806, addressed the
Council suggesting consideration of adopting the minimum fee schedule as
proposed by the billboard companies, which would be the same as those in the
City of Santa Ana: 0/300 square feet - - $ 75.00; 301/672 square feet -
3100.00. This schedule could be adopted now and adjusted after the committee
agrees on a business license fee schedule.

Request was submitted by Gary Mierau, Vice President, Park/Abrams Development
Company, for exemption from requirements of Ordinance No. 4901 to allow
issuance of a building permit to construct a commercial retail center and
Circle K convenience market at 1177 South State College Boulevard without
first obtaining a conditional use permit. Also submitted was staff report
from the Planning Department dated June 14, 1988.
Mr. Mierau addressed the Council advising that the applicants were victims of
the new ordinance, adopted February 23, 1988, and effective March 24, 1988;
revised plans had already been introduced into the building permit process
after the initial proposal under Conditional Use Permit No. 2950 had been
considered by the Planning Commission. Representatives of the residential
area adjacent to subject property had appeared and given input at that time.
City Attorney Jack White advised that once the ordinance was adopted, the only
developments which might be exempted would be those for which building permits
had already been obtained and construction started. The City Council does not
have the authority to waive provisions of the ordinance, and it would be
necessary to prepare another ordinance to exempt certain projects.
Councilman Ehrle felt it was not equitable to penalize the developer who was
proceeding through the necessary steps at the time the ordinance was adopted.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved that request by Park/Abrams Development Company for
exemption from provisions of Ordinance No. 4901 be denied. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion. Councilman Ehrle voted "No". Councilman Hunter
abstained. MOTION CARRIED.

Judy Madren, 503 South Vicki Lane, Anaheim, CA 92804.
The planned addition to their home is to provide smaller living

her father, who is an invalid, and retain some privacy while
being close to Mr. and Mrs. Madren for necessary assistance.
When a petition in opposition was submitted, Mrs. Madren talked
to many of those who signed that document, and found that many
had been misinformed about the nature of the request. She
points out that she and Mr. Madren are spending $80,000 to
insure that the addition will be architecturaly pleasing, and
she states that they have no intention of sellln$ their property.
STAFF INPUT:
In response to questions by Councilman Bay, Zoning Administrator
Annika Santalahti advised that the California Government Code
specifies that if certain criteria are met, the City cannot deny
this type of request. This request, including an additional
parking space condition, meets all City and State requirements.
Deed restrictions will be filed and recorded against the
property requiring that the occupants of the unit must be a
minimum of sixty years of age in order for the unit to be
maintained as a separate dwelling space.
639
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 21, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
City Attorney Jack White pointed out that this type of addition,
referred to as a "Granny Unit", is allowed in all residential
zones within the State when it meets mandated criteria. The
City Council has the prerogative of imposing additional
conditions.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
Pat Fernandez, 2776 Rowland Circle, Anaheim: Questions the
definition of "outside access". She is advised that this
particular request includes a kitchen in the plans, which
renders the quarters a separate unit; Code requires outside
access to a separate unit on residential property.
Don Lowe, 441 Vicki Lane: Expressed concern that granting
subject request would constitute the end of the R-1 Zone in
their neighborhood, and the inspiration for more "Granny Unit"
requests. While not opposed to how the applicants propose to
utilize their addition, he felt the same purpose could be
accomplished within the residence as it presently exists. His
primary objection is to the separate, self-contained unit
proposed, and he anticipates problems in monitoring the
compliance with deed restrictions in the future. Further, he
questioned the use of the unit if the property should be sold or
the occupants leave. His examination of the State Law found no
penalties set out for misuse.
Jean Mann, 2776 Bridgeport Avenue: States she would not object
if the kitchen were eliminated from the plans, and the entrance
placed indoors.
Jim Wallace, 435 S. Shields Drive: Addressed the City Council
in support of the applicants.
Mrs. Royal C. Howes, 2772 Bridgeport Avenue: Calls attention to
the fact that Mr. Wallace, the previous speaker, did not reside
in the subject neighborhood. An eighteen-year resident, she had
assigned one of their existing rooms and bath to her own mother,
who had lived there with the family for many years without any
alterations to the original dwelling. She expressed concern
that the proposed use of the "Granny Unit" could not be
adequately controlled.
Sam B. Gould, 408 S. Vicki Lane: Expresses opposition to the
application.
John Milne, 425 S. Vicki Lane: Also opposed, he wants to retain
the R-1 Zone. He was of the opinion that there were other
residents in the neighborhood who would apply for similar
expansions, should subject request be granted.
In response to questions by Councilman Pickler and Councilwoman
Kaywood, Applicant Judy Madren understands that they would not
640
City ~] 1, A~_sheim, C~ltfornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 21, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
have had to make application through the Planning Commission if
they had not wanted the kitchen included as a convenience to her
parents, to help them be self-sufficient. She indicates she
would have no objection to a restriction being imposed that the
permit for this addition would no longer be valid if the
property were sold.
SUM~..TION BY APPLICANT:
William Centobene, representing his sister, Judy Madren, advised
that this small addition to the applicant's home would cost
$80,000; when completed, from the street it would look the same
as others in the neighborhood.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilman Ehrle.
If approved, he wants the opponents protected by requiring that
when the "Granny Unit" is no longer in use by the applicants,
the kitchen is to be removed.
COUNCIL ACTION:
There being no further persons who wished to speak either in
favor or in opposition, Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION: On motion by
Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Hunter, the City Council

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Mr. Tim Doss, Architect representing the applicant, 1793
Whittier Avenue, Costa Mesa, California: Reviewed the request
and pointed out there is a hill on one side of the property,
leaving the only exposure on the side of the house with the

stated that access to the property is very limited, and the
house was designed to adapt to the lot in the most practical and
aesthetic way possible, given the topography involved.

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Gary Lobel, Owner's Representative: At present, subject
property is utilized as a used car sales lot and storage. There
is a three-foot landscaped strip at the front property line, and
they proposed to install a fence in front of that strip; however
the Zoning Administrator required that the fence be located
behind the strip. He called attention to other auto sales
facilities in the city, i.e. Bauer Jaguar on Manchester Avenue,
and Midway Mobile on Anaheim Boulevard, both of which have a
similar situation with fences in front. He failed to see what
substantial difference the three feet would make in locating the
643
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 21, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
fence, and submitted several snapshots of the premises for the
record. He felt they would have better usage of the property
with the additional three feet.
Responding to question posed by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Lobel
pointed out that the fence would be lowered during business
hours, and therefore would be no obstacle to pladement of trash
containers for pickup.
Councilman Hunter: Fails to understand why the Zoning
Administrator's decision is not proper, since the location is in
a residential area, as opposed to the commercial/industrial
areas where the other dealers are located.
Planning Director, Joel Fick: In response to question by
Councilman Ehrle, states that the subject property is located
across the street from residences which differentiates the
property from the others described; there is a landscaped
setback required to be maintained in this area.
COUNCIL ACTION:
There being no further persons who wished to speak either in favor or in
opposition, Mayor Bay closed the public hearing.

106: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN: To consider the
proposed 1988/89 Resource Allocation Plan (RAP). This matter was continued
from the meetings of June 7 and June 14, 1988, to this date. (See minutes
those dates).
City Manager Simpson first announced that the report from Program Development
and Audit will be abbreviated and presented as part of the resolution adoption
on the budget scheduled for June 28, 1988. He also stated that since written
comments have been prepared and submitted by Department Heads (made a part of
the record) he has asked the Departments to abbreviate their comments but to
highlight anything special and after each presentation, any Council questions
will be answered.
Mr. Simpson then introduced and prefaced each Department's budget presentation
giving its location in the Budget Document and Capital improvement Plan where
applicable, and budget totals. He also noted those Departments where policy
issues needed to be addressed.
The following Department Heads then gave a brief overview of their
Department's accomplishments over the past year, their plans and goals for the
coming year(s) and/or an explanation relative to their proposed budget
requirements for 1988-89 as well as addressing policy issues if applicable:

Mr. Hoyt also explained that staff is supportive of the Public
Utilities Board's recommendation that $250,000 be expended for
preliminary Engineering studies to underground facilities in the
Disneyland/C0nvention Center area estimated to cost $18 million.
Department would like to spend the greatest part of this year
determining what the impacts will be on their customers. They
anticipate the Council will want to form an Underground District
which will require participation not only by the City, but also
Edison, the Telephone Company, Cable Company - anyone who has
overhead facilities. He believes undergrounding will be a great
asset to the community.
The
Mayor Bay. He is in favor of the proposed study. He emphasized,
however, that relative to undergrounding in the commercial/recreation
area, he does not want to see every utility user in the City pay to
underground that area. He would like to look at some alternatives of
possibly special districts where the undergrounding will take place
and the people in that district who will benefit from the
undergrounding will pay for it.

the best interest of the City. There is a continuing relationship
with that Committee.

City Hall, A~_aheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 21, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Bay.
He read the document thoroughly and does not see any major
differences or issues. What he senses is not only cross pollination
and information going on between the public and private sector, but,
in his veiw, they are helping each other by their communication
lines. For the first year since he has been on the Council he is not
having to make a speech about why the City is not doing what the
people are asking be done.

105: COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD PRESENTATION: Mr. Bryan Crow, Chairman,
Community Services Board (CSB) briefed his zeport dated May 17, 1988
recommending that the Council approve a Fiscal Year 1988/~9 Community Services
Agency funding level of $152,170 (report made a part of the record -
accompanied by a large booklet entitled, Community Service Agencies Funding
Applications Fiscal Year 19~8/89). Attached to the subject report was a
funding request comparison chart covering the years 1986/87, 1987/88 and
1988/89. This year funding requests (applications) were received from 14
agencies. Considerable time and effort was spent by the Board and the
Sub-Committee chafed by June Lowry. Ultimately each Agency's recommended
funding level was approved unanimously by the Community Services Board at its
meeting of May 12, 1988.
Mayor Bay. He first thanked Chairman Crow and the Board and Sub-Commlttee for
the time and effort expended on a difficult process. He continued that for a
number of years, he has attempted to start a move to sunset community services
funding coming from the City's General Fund. He has been proposing a 3-year
reduction funding so that at the end of that period, the City will no longer
be involved in funding charitable organizations which he feels involves
government in welfare. He thereupon moved the following:
647
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 21, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
That the City fund the Community Services Agencies for 1988/89, with
no change to the proposed ratios as recommended by the Community
Services Board Sub-Committee, a maximum limit of $100,000 vs. the
recommended $152,170, limiting the 1989/90 total funding to $50,000,
and for Fiscal Year 1990/91 that it be reduced to zero.
Before further action was taken, Mayor Bay stated he feels his motion will
take the City out of the social welfare business. It has been done by the
County and other agencies. He is not going to reiterate his philosophical
argument which the Council has heard before in past years at this time.
Councilman Hunter seconded the motion for the purpose of discussion.
Councilman Hunter. The monies to support the agencies come right out of the
City's General Fund. His understanding is that even the County is looking
very closely at funds coming directly from taxpayers of the County. By
allowing $100,000 this year and sunsetting the matter in three years, the
sources of revenue for these various organizations can be looked at in other
areas other than the General Fund.
Councilman Pickler expressed his disagreement ~ith the Mayor on the issue in
general. He also felt it was unfair if there was going to be a sunsetting on
funding, the recommendations of the Community Services Board for this year
should remain at the $152,170 level. Some of the programs are vitally needed
and the Council cannot walk away from what he feels is their responsibility.
Councilman Ehrle. He first explained his involvement and experiences in the
past working with the Human Services Advisory Board for the County. He agrees
they have to do something to help the needy but what he learned quickly was
the best way to do so was to help make them self sufficient and independent.
He gave examples of two organizations with which he worked and where this was
accomplished by assisting them in getting the private and corporate sector
involved in their programs. In his opinion, if they can raise $300,000 or
$400,000 amongst them for campaigns in the private sector, they can assist the
Community Services Agencies in raising the funds they need. He was, however,
thinking of a different ratio than the one proposed by the Mayor.
Councilman Pickler. He recommended that the Council postpone the matter for a
week instead of making a hasty decision involving the well-being of the many
worthwhile agencies. He thereupon moved that a decision on the 1988/89
Community Services Agency Funding be continued for one week. Councilwoma~
Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before action was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated, in her opinion, if the
City does not fund the agencies, it will result in tripling of Police services
and other services that the City will have to then provide.
Mayor Bay. They will not be wiping out the funding but merely trimming it to
$100,000 for this year and $50,000 for the following year. He tried to start
a sunsetting percentage five years ago recommending a 20% reduction each year.
A vote was then taken on the motion to continue the matter for one week and
failed to carry by the following vote:

After further discussion between Council Members on the issue, Chairman Crow
suggested that the funding be set at last year's level on $124,471. He would
then call a special board meeting to let the agencies know of the new figure
and that funding was going to be sunsetted on a basis determined by the
Council. In that way, they would be creating a somewhat less difficult
hardship on everyone. He also personally feels the private sector needs to be
involved to assist in funding these agencies.
Shirley Cohen, Executive Director, Feedback Foundation. Prior City Councils
and staff were concerned about seniors in Anaheim and asked their Foundation
if they could also serve evening and Sunday meals to seniors. The Council
said they would pay for it. If the Council does not now fund their program,
they cannot provide those meals and will cut back. As an alternative, she
suggested that Councilman Ehrle could possibly raise the money from the
private sector. Cutbacks are very devastating not only to the agencies but
directly to the people.
Mayor Bay. He is going to call for tbm question on the floor since he is not
going to listen to everything the Committee has listened to in making their
recommendations.
Dagberto Zavala, Central American Services of Anaheim. Their organization had
approached the City in March relative to Block Grant funding. The people they
are trying to help are a community of refugees not legally recognized and
deprived of services available in the County. Now he is hearing the
possibility of cutbacks in Community Services which will further diminish
their chances of being funded on this important prevention project. If money
is not spent on these types of programs in the future, money will have to be
spent on police enforcement instead. If there is to be sunsetting of funding,
the City Council should be involved in setting up a network of private
organizations that might be able to assist and help do the job that is
necessary. They have not been able to get their project off the ground as
yet. It is estimated that they would need $60,000 to start but are willing to
settle on whatever the Council would decide.
Sharon Phelps, Director, Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). The RSVP
program gives back to the community and helps seniors stay involved and
dedicated to the community. Last year the seniors gave $126,432 to the City
in volunteer hours alone considered at minimum wage. The RSVP program was cut
40% last year. Her program cannot live with any more cuts. Some Council
Members offered help to her last year but that has not happened. She does not
know how to get this help.
Councilman Hunter. He suggested instead that the funding be $150,000 this
year, $100,000 the following year, $50,000 the year after that and zero in the
fourth year. That would give organizations such as RSVP ample opportunity
649
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 21~ 1988~ 1:30 P.M.
over four years to go out and start looking more into the private sector and
other areas vs. monies coming out of the City's General Fund; Councilman
Pickler stated that he could go along with Councilman Hunter's suggestion.
Councilman Hunter moved that the Council adopt the recommended Community
Services Agency Funding level of $150,000 for Fiscal Year 1988/89 but that
such funding be sunsetted in the next fiscal year to a maximum of $100,000,
the following year to a maximum of $50,000, and in the fourth year that
Community Services Agency Funding be reduced to zero. Councilman Ehrle
seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Bay stated that the amendment would then change
the ratio as follows: 5150,000, 1988/89; 5100,000, 1989/90; 550,000, 1990/91
and zero, 1991/92.
Mayor Bay called for a vote on the motion; it was indicated from the audience
that there may be additional people who wish to speak.
Mayor Bay left the Council Chamber (5:50 p.m.).
June Lowry, Chairman of the Community Services Board Sub-Committee asked for
clarification on how the Committee will then handle requests in the coming
years - whether it would be on a percentage basis, allocating a certain
percentage of the 5100,000 to each of the agencies who apply; Councilman
Pickler stated that the funds would still be allocated to the agencies as the
Community Services Board had done in the past.
Mrs. Lowry surmised then that, for example, if 20 agencies applied, the
requests would all be weighed on their merits and monies allocated up to the
5100,000 limit and the 550,000 limit; Councilman Pickier confirmed that was
correct.
Councilman Ehrle then proposed an amendment to the motion that this year the
Community Services Agencies be funded the recommended amount of $152,170 and
that amount be reduced by 25% each year for the next four years which would
result in funding for one additional year: 1988/89, $152,170; 1989/90,
5114,127.50; 1990/90, $76,085; 1991/92, $38,042.50 and 1992/93 zero funds
allocated.
A vote was then taken on the motion as amended that the 1988/89 Community
Services Agency Funding request of $152,170 be approved and that amount be
reduced by 25% each year for the next four years as indicated above.
Councilwoman Kaywood voted no. Councilman Bay was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Cour. ctlwoman Kaywood voted no on the basis that the motion will not be
productive just on the fact alone that $126,432 in senior volunteer hours was
given to the City last year.
Before concluding, Marsha Vickery, Executive Director, Orange County Center
for Health asked to speak and stated that Councilman ~hrle's previous comment
about fund-raising was one of the most exciting sue has heard. It is a fact
that political representatives can get money that community agencies will
650
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 21, 1988, 1:30 P.M.
never see. If the people in Anaheim as part of their fund-raising campaign
set aside some of that money and gave it to the Community Services Board an
organization with a high level of integrity, to add to the "pot", this might
