EHRLE: Mr. Ehrle having submitted a written declaration that he has no
property within either Project Alpha or the Katella Redevelopment Project
which is on file in the office of the City Clerk, in accordance with Section
33130 of the Health and Safety Code. City Clerk Leonora Sohl then
administered the Oath of Office to William D. "Bill" Ehrle who was elected to
the City Council at the Special Municipal Election of June 2, 1987 for the
term ending November 8, 1988. Councilman Ehrle stated this was one of the
happiest days of his life to have been elected to the Anaheim City Council.
It was through a team effort that he was elected and he thanked all the
members of his team. He then introduced themany members of his family who
were present, most especially his mother Tillie Ehrle. He looked forward to
the days ahead. He was anxious to start working to resolve the many issues he
talked about in his campaign and to fulfill the promises he had made.
Councilman Ehrle stated as his first official act as Councilman, he would like
to bring a motion of notice of intent to terminate the City Manager's contract
and to remove the City Manager from Office pursuant to Section 606 of the
Anaheim City Charter. The notice is further given pursuant to Paragraph 3 of
the City Manager's contract dated May 22, 1984.
Councilman Hunter seconded the motion even though it might be premature under
the City Charter. Section 606 provides that such action cannot be taken until
90 days after an Election.
Mayor Bay stated the Chair rules the motion out of order because of Section
606 of the City Charter. He thereupon referred that ruling to the City
Attorney for clarification.
City Attorney Jack White explained that the Charter Section referred to
provides that no action be taken to remove the City Manager from Office within
90 days from any Municipal Election at which a member of the City Council is
elected. It would be in accordance with that section that no action be taken
at this meeting.
Councilman Bay stated the ruling of the Chair stands. He then moved to recess
for ten minutes. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
(10:20 a.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (10:30 a.m.)
106: DEPARTMENTAL RESOURCE AT.LOCATION PLAN WORKSHOP - 1987/88 - 1988/89:
City Manager William Talley presented the proposed Resource Allocation Plan
(RAP) transmitted to the Council on June 1, 1987, in accordance with the
provisions of the City Charter. The Plan encompasses two fiscal years,
1987/88 and 1988/89. This is the second 2-year Plan prepared by the City, the
previous Plan having won numerous awards. Only the first year of the Biennial
484
Cit~ Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 9~ 1987, 10:00 A.M.
Plan can be adopted this month. After that Plan is adopted, staff will
re-examine the second year next spring, make any necessary revisions and
submit it for Council review on or before June 1, 1988. Documents have been
provided for review. The first document is the 1987/1989 Resource Allocation
Plan prepared by the Office of the City Manager, William O. Talley, the City
of Anaheim; the City of Anaheim Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) 1987/1992, and
the last document, the 1300 Page line item budget detail print-out. The
1987/1989 budget document is an Executive S,~mary of the many City programs
s-mmarizing program goals, objectives, services levels, proposed
appropriations and pertinent policy issues. The CIP shows in detail the
numerous projects proposed to be undertaken over the next 5 years and the
sources of the funds to support them.
The 1987/88 proposed Plan totals for the City $428,641,772 and the 1988/89
proposed Plan totals $429,117,000. In addition, for 1987/88, the Council will
be considering the Redevelopment Agency's budget totaling $24,919,000 and
$21,902,000 for 1988/89 as well as the Housing Authority budget of $11,844,000
for 1987/88 and $11,624,000 for 1988/89.
Mr. Talley then briefed the information contained in his budget transmittal
letter on Pages 2 and 3 of the Executive S,~mary which addressed the difficult
decisions required in presenting the Plan as it stands today, service level
reductions recommendation, a commitment to an increase in public safety,
investments necessary to be made to assure and maintain Anaheim's position in
the Tourism and Convention business, and the policy issues that needed to be
addressed. (Budget Document Executive S,,mm~ry, Line Item Document and CIP on
file in the City Clerk's Office).
In concluding his presentation, Mr. Talley stated returning to the funding of
the numerous existing programs and projects as well as the recommended renewal
commitments to public safety and the Convention Center/Stadium expansion,
addressing each of those separately, the current budget shortfall can be met
by using existing fund balances and reserves from prior years. However, this
would represent only a temporary answer and if the Council chooses to adopt
the staff recommendation and do that, he would also recommend that staff be
directed to review all existing revenues for increases where appropriate. To
finance increased public safety services equitably, he believes a broad-based
revenue is fairest as everyone benefits from these programs. If Council
decides to increase public safety services substantially, staff will be
prepared to present the Council with alternatives together with advantages and
disadvantages of each major funding source. Without that direction, he is not
submitting any recommended funding recommendations or revenue sources. To
finance the renewed commitment to the Tourism/Convention future, he recommends
an increase in the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from 8I to 10%. This will
place the financial burden for those improvements on those who benefit most
directly. The recommendations proposed in the 2-year Plan are not short-term
solutions. They also represent a commitment to a strong and vital future for
Anaheim but must be made today if the great City of Anaheim is to realize its
vision of tomorrow.
The City Manager then introduced the RAP video - "Anaheim - A Community With A
Vision." Each City Department was included in the video which gave an
485
City Hall, An-helm, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 9, 1987, 10:00 A.M.
overview of the Department's functions, services provided and commitments to
the future in service to the citizens of Anaheim. In addition, the policy
issues were again addressed.
Upon conclusion of the video presentation, Mr. Talley then introduced and
prefaced each Department's budget presentation giving its location in the
Budget Document and Capital Improvement Plan where applicable, Department in
the Line Stem Document and budget totals. He also noted those Departments
where the policy issues needed to be addressed.
The following Department Heads then supplemented the budget video presentation
by giving 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 1987-89 as well as
addressing policy issues if applicable:
Finance Director~ Georze Ferrone - Finance Department: (RAP Pages
66 and 67 - budget total 1987/88, $3,299,418 - 1988/89, $3,389,975).
Program Development & Audit Mana~er~ Ron Rothschild - City Council
and Visitor and Convention Bureau: (PAP Pages 21 and 22 - budget
total 1987/88, $2,955,222 - 1988/89, $3,157,581).
City Manager Talley.
The budget figures would be modified upwards if the Council adopts
an increase of 2% (8% to 10%) in the TOT - 1/8 of that tax goes to
the V&C for their activities.
President of the V&C Bureau, Bill Snyder: He gave an extensive
overview of the accomplishments in the City's Visitor and Convention
business over the past year as well as giving a comparison of
figures in the Tourist and Convention business over the past four
years. He also explained future marketing plans to keep Anaheim at
the forefront of this important business during which he submitted
samples of ads that were going to be placed in various publications.
Council Discussion - Re: Proposed increase in the TOT from 8% to
10%: Was the industry supportive of that proposal in order for the
City to enlarge the Convention Center so as not to miss future
markets?
Bill Snyder.
Meetings have been held with the Hotels and Visitor and Convention
Board of Directors. It is recognized that the City is starting to
lag as far as usable exhibit space is concerned. They are
distraught to realize the state of the Convention Center and the
desperate need to bring the facility up to date. The industry has
never walked away from an issue and it was a unanimous feeling they
would not walk away from this one. They did consider the issue of
the need to make certain there is an amortized appreciation fund and
while no one likes the idea of a tax, and the industry does not like
it either, they are supportive of it with the provisions that it is
486
City Hall, An-heim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 9, 1987, 10:00 A.M.
devoted to the areas mentioned and that care be given that the
depreciated condition of the Convention Center will not occur
again. He reiterated they are supportive and some of the people
present at the meetings were representatives from Dtsneyland, Inn At
The Park, Grand Hotel, Hyatt, Emerald, Howard Johnson's, etc. - a
broad cross section was represented.
Data Processin~ Director~ Phil Grammatica - Data ProcessinK
Department: (RAP Page 68 - budget total 1987/88, $3,995,052 -
1988/89, $4,161,972).
Fire Chief~ Jeff Bowman - Fire Department: (RAP Page 28 and 29 -
Page 19, CIP - operating budget total 1987/88, $17,867,271 - total
Capital Improvements, $112,000 - budget total, $17,979,271 - 1988/89
operating budget total, 518,534,364 - total Capital Improvements,
$32,000 - budget total, $18,556,364).
Issue: The City Manager explained the City has invested
considerable resources in its Level I hazardous materials incidents
response capability. Affordability and risk exposure are issues
when providing assistance to neighboring Jurisdictions who do not
have similar capabilities. The Plan contemplates if the Fire Chief
cannot make share-of-cost agreements with the other Jurisdictions no
later than January 1, 1988, it is his (Talley's) recommendation that
Council direct staff not to continue the service level Anaheim is
providing to its neighbors without indemnification.
Mayor Bay.
With regard to the foregoing issue, it has always been the City's
intent to cooperate with its neighbors but it does not mean
subsidizing them and he does not believe they would expect that.
Director of Community Development & Planning~ Norm Priest -
Community Development & Plannin~ Department: (RAP Pages 31 and 35 -
budget total 1987/88, $46,479,196 - 1988/89, $42,980,020 - includes
Planning, Zoning, Administration, Redevelopment, Building, Housing,
Neighborhood Preservation, Economic Development and the Job Training
Partnership Act).
Library Director~ William Griffith - Library: (RAP Page 22 and 23,
Page 19 CIP - operating budget total 1987/88, $4,685,077 - total
Capital Improvements, 3152,000 - operating budget total, 1988/89 -
$4,983,516 - total Capital Improvements, 5137,000). City Manager
Talley explained that the $137,000 lease payment had been budgeted
for the Library's automation project. However, staff now believes
it is in the best interest of the City to lease purchase the entire
system which would require an additional $65,494 each year beyond
that currently in the Plan. Monies are available from Library Grant
balances. The new request would them be both for operating in
Capital Improvements, $4,902,571 for 1987/88 and $5,186,075 for
1988/89.

William Griffith.
In concluding his presentation he stated a major deficiency at
present is that the budget does not address the Central Library
renovation. The facility is becoming increasingly run-down and also
the impact of Redevelopment on Broadway has severely handicapped the
Central Library operation.
Human Resources Director~ Garry McRae- Human Resources Department:
(RAP Page 65 - 1987/88 budget total, $1,897,416 - 1988/89,
$1,961,916).
Mr. McRae explained an issue beginning to be addressed in the budget
but which will not go away in the future is the increasing
difficulty that is coming about because of the shortage of qualified
police officer applicants. The budget provides for an enhanced
recruiting effort over the next number of years. Demographics are
such that there is a dip in the population age group in the category
of people who would be interested in the Job. There are great
demands both in the public and private service for people who have
the qualifications for police officers. This will be an increasing
problem over the period of this two-year budget and in future years
as well.

Councilman Bay first offered the ordinances for first reading explaining that
the second reading (adoption) would occur at the next Council meeting.

AND UNLOADING PASSENGERS, STOPPING OK STANDING IN A THROUGH TRAFFICLANE
INTENDED FOg THE USE OF VEHICULA~TRAFFIC.
Mr. Roger Cohen, 13834 Park View Avenue, Manhattan Beach, 90266, representing
Gray Line Tours Company. With l~m today were Mr. Phil Bouchet, Vice-President
and Hal Webber, Branch Manager. They had met with the City's Traffic Engineer
and briefly with the City Engineer. Gray Line is the largest operator of
Motor Coach Tours in Southern California and in Anaheim alone service 96
different hotels. Mr. Cohen then briefed the document he submitted at the
be&inninS of the meeting entitled - Testimony of Gray Line Tours Company -
Anaheim City Council, June 9, 1987 (made a part of the record). They strongly
support the first ordinance prohibiting busses from regularly operating in
residential neighborhoods on streets less than 40 feet wide but on the other
hand are strongly opposed to the ordinance prohibiting busses not operated by
a public entity from stopping, standing, loading and unloading passengers in a
through vehicle lane which they felt represented a sudden, drastic and highly
impractical regulation that could strangle Anaheim's leading industry,
tourism. Listed on Page 2 of the testimony were four major reasons to
substantiate their objections. He thereupon urged the Council to indefinitely
postpone any further action on the proposed ordinance and return the issue to
staff for further review and study.
Stu Allen, owner, Coordinator Sight Seeing Tours and American Sightseeing of
Dlsneyland operating for 21 years in Anaheim. All of the tour companies in
Anaheim spend very little time at any one location making pickups. Busses
eliminate a lot of vehicular traffic coming out of and into motels each day.
There has never been an accident with one of his busses being struck. They do
not stop at every motel, Just those locations where they have reservations and
passengers to pick up. If their 40-foot busses have to go in and out of every
driveway, it will take three lanes to do it which will create a real traffic
problem. It is important to have easy access to get onto their tour busses.
This business is of great economic importance to the City of Anaheim. They
need to sit down with the people from traffic with the hope that traffic can
work on ways to help the industry. Other cities utilize'signs in the lane in
front of the hotels/motels indicating there is a tour pickup area. If a
problem is perceived, there are ways around it, one being to post signs
warning people there are busses making pickups in those lanes. They have 96
pick ups and Gray Line has 96 - the 0range County Transit District (OCTD) has
a minimum of 870 scheduled stops in the Disneyland area. He finds it hard to
relate how their few pickups would create a problem compared to the OCTD
schedule.
John Conley, Traffic and Planning Manager, Airport and Fun Bus. He concurs
with Hr. Cohen and Allen for the same reasons. Also in the past few months
there has been a great deal of construction in the Disneyland area on Harbor
Boulevard and there are continuing traffic problems in and around that area.
There are no Right Turn Only lanes which could alleviate some of the
problems. They pick up in two or three minutes and are gone.
494
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 9~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Walter Bormann, Anaheim resident. He would like to hear from the City Traffic
Engineer. He does not see any problem. The busses are givin& a service and
he believes the Traffic Engineer is trying to discourage that.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer. A bus that loads in two to four minutes and
makes stops three to four times in the same block on Harbor Boulevard between
Katella and Freedman Way will delay an entire lane ten minutes. If this
occurs 200 times a day there is a serious deficiency in lane capacity on the
roadway. He does not agree with the bus carriers that there is not adequate
space to pull off on private property, for instance, northbound on Harbor
Boulevard at the Hyatt between Katella and Freedman. In the past, all busses
pulled on site, loaded and unloaded and proceeded onto Harbor. Similar
arrangements can be made up and down Katella and Harbor with cooperation by
the bus companies. Relative to the safety aspects, he submitted a collision
diagram depicting Harbor Boulevard between Katella and Freedman Way showing
numerous collisions. He could not say how~any were due to busses but would
say a considerable number. The goal is to get busses off travel lanes when
they have to stop in order to provide more capacity on those lanes and greater
safety to the traveling public. There is a vital need in that area
especially, but also along any arterial highway with lanes adjacent to the
curb. He has met only with Mr. Cohen from Gray Lines. Gray Lines was the
only company who contacted the City following notification relative to the
proposed ordinances.
Hayor Bay. He wanted to know why no attempt was made to engineer the solution
to the problem instead of Just prohibiting busses from curbside pickup. He
would recommend delaying the first reading on the proposed ordinance on this
issue until some alternatives are investigated to solve the problem that is
going to be created by the solution to the first problem. Some priorities
should be placed on working on some type of an agreement to provide areas that
are ~hysically capable of handling 40-foot busses.
Paul Singer. He is aware of the problem that is created and has investigated
the solution. There are always adjacent driveways that will accomodate bus
turn arounds so that loading and unloading can be done on private property but
perhaps guests at adjacent motels would have to walk across the property line
in order to Join the others. He would be more than willing to work with any
bus companies in order to coordinate the drop off area on private property.
Mayor Bay. He asked Hr. Cohen if it would be possible to &et some of the bus
companies together and meet with the Traffic Engineer in otter to work out a
practical solution if the Council chooses to delay implementation of the
proposed ordinance.
Mr. Cohen. They stand ready to assist and help with whatever cooperative
efforts might be necessary.
Mayor Bay. He is hoping that voluntarily the hotels and bus companies will
get together to try to work out the best solution possible. He is willing to
delay even the first reading of the ordinance or at least the second reading.
495
194
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL ~INUTES - June 9~ 1987~ 1:30 P.H.
Hr. Cohen. They are trying to solve the problem and that is why they would
ask for the time to do that and ask cooperation from staff to look at their
problem.
Paul Sin/er. Lt. Thalman was present who could enlighten the Council on some
of the problems the Police Department has experienced with regard to the
situation.
Lt. Thalman. The concerns of the Police Department are those expressed by the
Traffic Engineer with regard to traffic congestion and safety of the public.
He believes the problem could be addressed and worked out as suggested.
Mayor Bay then confimed that the proposed ordinance prohibiting busses in
residential areas was offered for first readin8 and that first readtn~
stands. Relative to the ordinance prohibiting busses from loading and
unloading passengers, stoppinB or standing in a through traffic lane intended
for the use of vehicular traffic, he withdrew the first reading of that
ordinance and moved to continue the first readinB until July 7, 1987 and in
the meantime that staff meet with the bus companies and provide space for a
meeting if they do not have it to work out a feasible plan to solve the
problems involved. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
128: AWARDING THE SALE OF 1987/88 TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES:
Finance Director George Ferrone, introduced the City's Financial Advisor, Mr.
John Fitzgerald to report on the subject sale.
Mr. John Fitzgerald, Seidler-Fitzgerald, reported that this mornin~ the City
Clerk opened bids on the $13 million dollar Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes
(TRAN). He is pleased to report that 15 bids were received, the largest
number received on a competitive sale that he has ever experienced in his
tenure of dealing with municipal finance and five more than received last
year. The low bid was submitted by Goldman, Sachs at an interest rate takin~
into account their premium net interest cost of 3.945 percent. The spread
between the low bid and the second bid was 1/10th of one percent. Biddin~ was
very tight and competitive. The rate last year was 4.15 percent. It is his
recommendation that the Council award the bid to the best bidder, Goldman
Sachs at an interest rate of 3.945 percent. It is the lowest 1-year interest
they have seen this year on any note issue.

107/142: ORDINANCE NO. 4837 - SPECIAL PERMITS FOR BUILDING RELOCATIONS:
Amending Section 15.32.020 of the Anaheim Hunicipal Code relating to special
permits for building relocations. Submitted was report dated June 3, 1987
from the City Attorney recommending that the Council adopt the proposed
ordinance.
City Attorney Jack White explained that last Tuesday tha Council asked his
office to review the current provisions in the subject Code Section and make
recommendations which he has done in his memorandum of June 30, 1987. The
recommendation is that the City Council delete the existing provision which
provides that in the event a majority of the property owners within a 300-foot
radius of any property where a structure is to be relocated would have the
absolute right to veto the relocation and in the event that such a majority
protest was received, the City Council could then no longer entertain an
application for such a relocation. In reviewing the status of existing law in
this area, it is his recommendation that provision be repealed which would
allow the Council to then exercise its discretion in the future and either to
approve or disapprove the building relocation based upon the criteria that
otherwise exist in that particular section such as whether the building is
compatible with other structures in the vicinity and whether the building
would materially financially be detrimental to surrounding properties in the
vicinity. The other changes recommended are #housekeeping" in nature but he
thought it would be incumbent to make certain other minor changes as listed on
Page 2 of his memorandum.
In answer to Council questions, Mr. White explained that relative to a
variance, it would require that any variance be approved before the structure
was actually moved and there are two ways that could happen. In some
instances, the variance could be "piggy backed" along with the relocation
permit when the Council was acting on both, or the variance could either
precede the special permit or the City Council could issue the special permit
for relocation on a condition that a variance be obtained to authorize that
structure to be relocated on the property.
Councilman Bay offered Ordinance No. 4837 for first reading.

107: REPORT RELATING TO CODE ENFORCEMENT INSPECTIONS IN THE NORTH ANAHEIM
BOULEVARD AREA: Submitted was report dated June 2, 1987 from the Community
Development & Planning Department - subject: Code Enforcement inspections in
the North Anaheim Boulevard area submitted in response to the City Council's
request of Hay 20, 1987 to provide an update regarding such enforcement
activities. Mr. William Taormina addressed the Council on Nay 26, 1987 and
asked for stepped-up enforcement in the North Anaheim Boulevard area and also
asked for staff participation in a Citizen's Action Committee.
497
196
City Hall~ A-~-heim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 9~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Bay acknowledged the staff report and also letter dated June 2, 1987
from William Taormina presenting a conceptual outline for Council
consideration of the Citizen's Task Force for North Anaheim Boulevard. The
letter listed the objectives, goals, membership and policy of the Task Force.
He asked if staff had any comments.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. Staff met with Mr. Taormina on
Friday after the staff report was prepared. They reviewed the items in it and
agreed on what they were planning on doing. Unless there were questions,
there were no additional staff comments.
William Taormina, P.O. Box 309, Anaheim. During the last two weeks, he has
met with Ms. Santalahti, John Poole - Code Enforcement Supervisor, Police
Chief, Jimmie Kennedy and Lt. Flanagan. All have pledged their cooperation to
the citizen's group and are willing to meet with them as needed and to remain
on call for special questions they might have. Based on the excellent working
relationship with staff, Council can expect the following three things to
happen: (1) within 60 days they will be submitting their master plan for
architecture, zoning and other self imposed controls for the improvement of
the neighborhood in conjunction with the street widening process; (2) each six
months, Council can expect to hear from the group formally with a report and
slide presentation; (3) on an on-going basis, Council can expect to hear from
a representative from the Association at any Council meeting wherein either a
residential or co~mercial issue that affects the area might ceme up. Mr.
Taormina then briefed his letter of June 2, 1987. He also pointed out that
there may be a small cost to the City for newsletter printing, mailing and
other reproduction costs that would not exceed 3300 per month.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if the clientele who are giving problems in the
existing bars in the neighborhood were local people or if they are coming from
the outside; Mr. Taormina deferred to the Police Department.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that the Council could probably get a report on
that at a later date.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to receive and file the staff report dated
June 2, 1987 relating to Code Enforcement inspections in the North Anaheim
Boulevard area. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

114: WELCOME TO COUNCILMAN EHRLE: Councilman Pickler took the opportunity to
welcome Mr. Ehrle as the newest Council Member. He was looking forward to
working with him and cooperating in whatever way he could to resolve any
problems and to keep Anaheim the No. 1 City in Orange County and the State;
Councilman Hunter added his welcome as did Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood and Mayor Bay.
Councilman Ehrle again thanked the people who made his election possible. He
looked forward to working with all his colleagues on the Council. It will be
a challenBe for him being elected to the Council at this critical time with a
budget to be considered and adopted. He believes there will be unity on the
Council and he will do everything he can to work toward that end. He
personally planned to worked with each and every Council Member.
Councilwoman Kaywood then took the opportunity to extend her thanks to the
City Clerk and her staff for their efforts leading to and culminating on
Election Day and to all the people who volunteered to assist on the night of
the Special Election.
105/114: ACTION TO ~EMOVE CHARLENE LA CLAIRE FROM THE CITY PLANNING
COMMISSION: Councilman Hunter moved that the Council terminate ann remove
Charlene La Claire from the City Planning Commission. Councilman Bay seconded
the motion.
Before action was taken, Councilman Hunter stated his motion is based on the
following three reasons: (1) for the first time in the history of Anaheim he
believes a person has politicized the PlanninB Commission by her (La Claire's)
encouraging the other Planning Commissioners to endorse her for City Council;
(2) her abilities to serve on the Plannin~ Commission have been substantially
impaired as a result of her receiving monies from developers in Anaheim and
throughout Orange County. In accordance with a Government Code Section a
Planning Commissioner is not to accept more than $250 while serving as a
Commissioner but contributions were accepted some of which were $1,000 and
I1,500 and she continued to sit on the Plannini Commission. It is a Conflict
of Interest; (3) her lack of credibility as an individual and a Planning
Commissioner because of smear tactics used in the last campaign instead of
talkin~ about the issues.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked to hear from the City Attorney to give a report on
the Conflict of Interest if it exists.
City Attorney Jack White. There are Conflict of Interest provisions that
apply specifically to Board Members and Commissioner8 that do not otherwise
apply to Council Members. He does not have the provisions with him and
without them he is very reluctant to give specifics on what the limitations
499
198
City Hall~ Anahetm~ California - COUNCIL MINUTgS - June 9, 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
would be or whether or not there had been a violation. If Council is
interested and so directs him, he will be happy to prepare a report on the
limitations. The only other concern he has today, since the issue is not an
agenda item is that the Council must set forth the need to act under the
provisions of the Brown Act since the agenda was posted on last Friday.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if it would be in order to request a staff report
and that it be on the agenda next week; City Attorney White answered that
would be up to the Council.
Councilman Pickler. He believes that other Planning Com~issioners went
through the same thing and if there is a conflict, they would hear about
that. Charlene La Claire's term is expiring at the end of June and the
appointment of Planning Commissioners will be considered by the Council at
that time. He was hoping at that ti~e cool heads would prevail.
Vindictiveness is not something they needed at this time. He did not expect
the proposed action today and would oppose it. If Mrs. La Claire received
more than $250, she must abstain on those specific developments that come
before the Commission. If someone was going to be replaced it should be done
at the end of June.
Councilman Hunter. It was not being vindictive. One of her brochures
indicated she was endorsed by all other members of the Planning Commission
thus politicizing a Commission. A review of her campaign statements reflects
that she has accepted thousands of dollars from every major developer in the
City. She should voluntarily resign and, if not, it is up to the Council to
see that she is removed from the Planning Commission.
Councilman Pickler. He would prefer to take the opinion of the City Attorney
who will review the subject and give a legal response to Councilman Hunter's
opinion. It is up to the City Attorney to determine if there is a violation.
Councilman Bay moved to waive the 72-hour posting provisions of the Brown Act
in order to vote on the motion on the floor.
Councilman Pickler asked the City Attorney how many votes were necessary to
waive the Brown Act provisions; City Attorney White answered that relative to
the waiver, it was necessary to have four votes.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated the last Planning Co~missiou meeting was yesterday
and the next meeting will be in two weeks. If the issue is postponed for one
week there would still be time for action before the next Planning Com~ission
meeting.
Councilman Bay withdrew his motion to waive the Brown Act provisions and moved
that the motion offered by Councilman Hunter to remove Charlene La Claire from
the Planning Commission be continued for one week and placed on the agenda at
that time with whatever information is desired from the City Attorney.
Mayor Bay continued that a Conflict of Interest occurs, in his opinion, when
somebody does vote on something when they have taken over $2~0. If a mamber
of a Commission has accepted over $250 in political contributions and they
500
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 9~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
declare that conflict and then abstain from voting, then they are not
"committing" a conflict. The argument is that if there are any developers
involved under that $250 provision, then it would impair Mrs. La Claire's
function only that she could not vote and would not be able to vote on those
important issues.
Further discussion followed between Councilman Hunter and Pickler at the
conclusion of which Councilman Bay repeated his motion that the motion offered
by Councilman Hunter be placed on the agenda next week. Councilman Pickler
voted no. MOTION CAR/tIED.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Mr. Patel, 450 South Loafs Street, Anaheim Ca. 92802. (1) The children
around his residence are going out of their way and damaging his property.
They dump stolen property in his yard. The problem has been ongoing for the
last two years. He has written letters to the Mayor and the Chief of Police.
Every police officer in the City knows the problem and nothing has been done.
Because of skateboards and bicycles crossing his property from one corner to
the other, his lawn is damaged and his trees are broken; (2) He is unable to
get an appointment with the City Attorney or City Manager. Government should
listen to the people. In his opinion, staff is rude. He would like the
Council to look into the matter.
Walter Bormann, 2704 West Ball Road. He proposed that there be an ordinance
or c?mnge in the Charter to eliminate what the City Just went through with a
Special Election. If someone is going to run for another office while still a
Council Member and a new office will commence prior to the expiration of the
Council term, that person should then resign.
RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for ten minutes. (3:18 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (3:29 p.m.)
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Tim Wilbert, 1009 South Harbor Blvd., Orange Grove Mobile Home Village. A Mr.
Doer took ownership of the park and began reconstruction. He raised roads and
left mobile homes ten inches below the road level. He removed all the trees
and the facilities which were located in front of his (Wilbert's) home. The
value of his mobile ho~e has now decreased. The same owners own several parks
in Orange County and are doing the same thing - putting in curbs and streets
and taking out parking. He is a member of the Homeowners Alliance for
Fairness. Building inspectors have been out to the park and say there is
nothing wrong. He has had the Fire Department come out and inspect the
roads. They said the park is in violation of the legal width of roads.
Everybody in Building, Planning, Zoning, Traffic and the Fire Department are
all aware of what is going on in the park but nobody seems to want to enforce
the things that are going on. He wants the Council to be aware of the
situation and to help and assist anyway they can.

REQUEST/ZONING/LOCATION: To permit a drive-thru addition to an existing
restaurant on CL zoned property locate at 2790 West Lincoln Avenue, with Code
waivers of minimum number of parkin~ spaces and required landscaped setback.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Resolution No. PC87-88 granted Conditional Use

HEARING SET ON:
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilwoman
Kaywood at the meeting of May 5, 1987.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim BulletinMay 28, 1987.
Posting of property May 29, 1987.
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - May 29, 1987.
APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Chris Tsachpinis was present to answer questions.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilwoman Kaywood.
According to the plan, the pickup window would be on the
passenger side. She wanted to know if that had been done
anywhere. She also wanted to know how many cars could be
stacked in the lane proposed.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer.
To have the window on the passenger side is unusual but he does
not know whether or not it has ever been done before. Relative
to the stacking, the lane for stacking is a legal one, 100 feet
to the order window and 60 feet for queuing. It is adjacent to
the sidewalk, curves around the building and into the driveway
area. There are two-way driveways subject to relocati~ some of
the curbs as outlined tn the conditions. There ts room to do
what the applicant is requesting. In this instance, there is an
additional aisle and although it is a parking aisle, it could be
an extension to the drive-thru lane should there be a backup at
the window.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator.
One of the waivers is a 3-foot landscape setback. The
Commission's approval required construction of a 12-inch curbing
potentially between the sidewalk and the lane subject to
approval of the Traffic Engineer to try to make sure someone
does not Jump the 6-inch curb.

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 1987/89 as well as addressing policy issues if applicable:

Department: (RAP Pages 36 and 37 - Page 20-36, CIP - operating

budget total 1988/89, 518,623,826).
Issue: The City Manager explained it was necessary for the Council
to address transportation improve~ents to alleviate current and
future traffic problems. They are becoming very costly to implement
since funds from traditional sources are being reduced or
eliminated. If the funding problem is not addressed, traffic
congestion is going to hinder Anaheim's thriving business economy and
503
202
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL ~L~NUTES - June 9~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
tranquil residential areas. He recommends that the Council undertake
a local revenue enhancement for transportation improvement study
which is estimated to cost approximately $30,000. Funds have not
been included in the 1987/89 RAP but if Council wishes to move in
this direction, that would be the recommendation.
Gary Johnson, City Engineer. Relative to the policy issue,
expenditures in the next two years are $1.8 and $2.2 million. In
order to maintain a status quo, it will be necessary to spend
approxi~ately $2.8 million dollars Just to stay in the same place.
If there is to be a gain, it will be necessary to spend at a level of
$3.2 million annually. That would allow the City to overcome the
current deficiency within a 20-year time frame. He requests that the
Council seriously consider looking at some options to develop local
revenue sources to assist in this area. As the City Nanager
mentioned, a study would cost approximately $30,000 to look at such
things as developer fees or sale of bonds and all other areas that
would be possibilities.

Issues: To be discussed further at the next meeting with the
presentation of the Public Safety Package, one is the increased
community concern regarding crime in parks. It is proposed that the
Park Ranger Program be expanded which along with increased security
and lighting improvement projects have proven to be a successful
deterrent to vandalism and crime in the City's parks. Also to be
recommended is an effort to reduce youth crime through a
comprehensive youth crime reduction project.
Chris Jarvi~ Director of Parks~ Recreation and Community Services.
He confirmed that now there are eight park rangers on four patrols
seven days a week. The proposal is not to add more but to continue
the existing program which was puc in place as a response to a
c0uuntty request and funded with C0uncil ¢ontingenc~ Funds. If
there was going to be an ongoint program, there was a need to have
the program added permanently.

Councilman Pickler. He asked the status of the repairs that are
necessary to the Stadium parking lot.
Mr. Bill Turner, General Manager. They are continuing to do minimum
repair but the lot needs to be completely refurbished and restriped.
As a result of a study that was done, refurbishment and restriping
must be done prior to another year's use or major refurbishment will
be necessary. There are also plans set for replacement of parking
lot lighting.

There are two adjustments (1987/88) - for the current year, an
additional 5233,000 is required for new vehicles approved during
budget review. There are adequate funds available and reserves but
it will increase the total request. An additional $175,000 in new
furniture and office equipment is also needed which again would come
from available reserves changing the request to a new total adjusted
request of $35,157,713. Operating budget total 1988/89, 535,515,564.

presentation was presented on Department expenditures showing a
summary by category.
Councilman Pickler. He asked if the new State Regulations relative
to contaminants in the water were going to affect the City's cost.
Darrell Ament, Assistant General Manager, Management Services. The
bills could have an impact requiring more stringent treatment at
Walnut Canyon and other facilities and it could increase the cost but
staff has not looked at the specific cost increase. During the
505
City ~all, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL HINUTES - June 9~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
5-year planning period, staff has not planned on any substantial
expenditures and does not anticipate any at this time.
Councilwoman Ka~ood. She asked the possibility of delaying the
proposed Water Bond Issue until the June, 1988 Election date; Mr.
Hoyt answered it would be too late for the program they have. They
are anticipating there will be more than one issue for a November,
1987 Election and thus could consolidate the Election with the County.
City Clerk Sohl announced that portions could be consolidated but
there was also the option that the other portion could be perfoz~ed
by the County Registrar of Voters Office as lone as the City is
willlnt to pay for that service.
Mayor Bay. In looking at an Exhibit issued a couple of years ago
showing debt service for the Intermountain Power Project (IPP),
looking at the principle and interest totals on the debt service, in
1986 it is $23 million; 1987, $62 allllon 1988; $89 ~lllion, etc. He
asked Mr. Hoyt if he saw any major impact on electric rates in the
City between this year and the year debt service costs increase to
$100 million a year by 1990.
Public Utilities General Manager, Gordon Hoyt. There will be a major
impact on rates because of the project itself. The debt service is
one part of it. If the figures Hayor Bay was referring to were from
a couple of years ago, they are too high. In the meantime, a great
deal of it has been refunded and the Otilities are still doing that.
It is a difficult question to answer right now. There is quite a bit
of money left over from the project which is in the construction fund
right now and the project is trying to deal with the most efficient
way of handling that. It is anticipated in the next few weeks more
clear direction will be forthcoming. It is an embarrassment of
riches, in a sense, available to the parties and they are trying to
decide how best to use it. He does not see any adverse impact on
rates.

City Manager Talley announced that concluded the scheduled
Departmental Budget for this meeting.
139: SB622 - ORANGE COUNTY UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION COST: City Manager Talley
referred to the document he submitted to the Council earlier relative to the
subject if the Council wished to discuss it at this time or wait until the
League of Cities meeting Thursday evening. Council might wish to determine
its position on the issue.
Mayor Bay suggested that the Council consider the issue between now and
Thursday and decide how they were going to vote at the League meeting.
Councilman Pickler stated he did not know if there was going to be a vote on
Thursday. As he understood, the bill has already passed the Senate and it was
going to Committee and the Assembly.
City Manager Talley explained for Councilwoman Kaywood that the bill has three
provisions - to delete a sunset provision that does not occur until January 1,
1989. Secondly, it authorizes the 0CTC and the Transportation District to be
able to receive OCUTT Funding which he has no problem with. Lastly, it
removes the restriction that substantially equal portions of the interest
earnings be divided between maintenance of local streets and highways and
State highway projects. He then briefed additional information contained in
the document previously submitted. The City Managers believe that county
agencies as a policy should not try to obtain funds from existing city
resources because the cities are also short of funds. The Managers did not
want a situation to occur whereby the Commission could vote to have the funds
go somewhere without individual cities being able to control it directly.
No further action was taken by the Council.
RECESS - CLOSED SESSION: By general consent the Council recessed into Closed
Session. (5:30 p.m.)
