A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was
posted at 3:00 p.m. on July 17, 1987 at the Civic Center kiosk, containing all
items as shown herein.
Mayor Bay called the adjourned regular meeting of July 14, 1987 to order at
10:18 a.m. on July 21, 1987.
106: SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS TO THE 1987/88 AND 1988/89 RESOURCE AT.LOCATION
PLAN MADE AT LAST BUDGET SESSION: For Council's information Mayor Bay
verb-lly s,,mm-rized the actions taken on July 7, 1987 to balance the 4.2
million dollar .deficit, noting that the only real reductions madewere the
~100,000 reduced in Travel and Meeting Expenses and Training Seminars, and the
35,800 in the City Manager's Operational Program. He noted that they had also
added 3695,000 in additional projected sales tax reven~e', as well as
additional funds anticipated from land sales. He further noted that the
Council's real problem 1/es in the third year of Certificates of Participation
payments for Police 2000 when they increase to $3 million per year. It is his
feeling that the entire Councilwishes to do everything they can to implement
Police 2000, and the first step is to figure out how to pay for the capital
improvements portion.
Mayor Bay noted that the additional 21 to be gained from the transient
occupancy tax increase, which wouXd amount to 2-1/2 million dollars for
1987/88 and 3.2 million for 1988/89 has not been allocated, but it is the
consensus of the Council that the Betterment III program at the Convention
Center will go forward, and these funds are for the debt payment on that
capital improvement.
Mayor Bay s,,~arized that he strongly felt the Councilshould first solve the
problem of the payments for the capital improvement portion of Police 2000 and
674
Cit7 Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Jul7 21~ 1987; 10:00 A.M.
from that point work to find what is needed for personnel in Police 2000,
since the latter is a recurrent cost.
156: PROPOSED 44 ADDITIONAL POSITIONS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT:(Agenda Item
10) Councilman Bunter stated ne would like to go forward with those Police
positions which are not funded out of the General Fund, but which are
supported by the Narcotics Forfeiture fund and other grant funds.
In response to Councilman Hunter's question, Mr. Talley explained that the
grants are for 3 year periods, and although it is assumed that the City will
continue with the position, the Council is not obligated to in any way. The
Cost for the nine positions under consideration at the time the City would
take on the cost (3 years hence) would be $900,000.
MOTION: Councilman Hunter offered a motion that the Council authorize the
recruitment and filling of the following Police positions:
Two Police Officers - Administrative Division
One Volunteer Coordinator - Administrative Division
One Police Sergeant - VNCI, and Five Police Officers - VNCI. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
156: REVENUE STEEAMPROPOSAL FOR POLICE 2000: Councilwoman Kaywood referred
to her recent experience at the Chamoer of Commerce Planning Conference, at
which they spent considerable time and effort to assure they had an equitable
method to administer dues w~ich could be increased to cover costs.
Councilwoman Kaywood saw the business license fee proposal as an analagous
situation. She noted that no changes had been made in the City's Business
License fee for 29_ years and this could no longer be considered the "fair shar~'
of the business co~m~nity ....... · ..............
Councilman Pickler noted that every City surrounding Anaheim had increased
business license fees, to the point that Santa Ana now-cbllects SS million
dollars more than Anaheim.
In response to Councilman Ehrle, Mr. Talley explained that the Chamber had a
Task Force which reviewed the initial study (which was revenue neutral and
based on improving the equity of the taxes) and concurred with it, but had
concerns over the second version and more specifically about the proyisions
for audit by the City.
Councllwoman Kaywood also noted that the City Council had Previously discussed
placing an item on the ballot to ask the citizens whether they would pay an
additional amount in taxes to have Police 2000. She commented that the
average homeowner now pays only 3189.00 per year for all of the services
provided by the City.
In further discussion, City Attorney Jack White explained that it was his
opinion that the Council has the ability, as this is a Charter City, to raise
taxes without going to the voters at all. However if the revenue in a ballot
measure is designated for a specific purpose, then it would require a 2/3
majority to pass the issue. Mr. White suggested the Council could as an
alternative, place the item on the ballot as an advisory issue.
675
225
City Hall~ Anaheim, CalifOrnia - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 21, 1987~ 10:00 A.M.
Council discussion ensued relative to the various ways the issue might be
placed on the ballot. Council Members generally agreed that the voter should
absolutely know exactly what he is voting for or against, even if that meant
the issue would require a 2/3 vote to pass.
MOTION: At the conclusion of discussion, Councilwoman Kaywood move~ that
staf£ be directed to prepare a notice calling for a ballot measure to be
placed on the November 1987 ballot, proposing a tax increase to fund the
Police 2000 Program and the Public Safety Package. Councilmember Ehrle
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
165/150/114: COUNCIL POLICY NO. 701 SIDEWALK REPAIR AND PARKWAY TREES:
Submitted for Council approval at this time was Council Policy No. 701
pertaining to Sidewalk and Parkway Trees, as reworded at the request of Mayor
Bay; an ordinance amending Chapter 12.29 of the Code Which pertains to parkway

presented for adoption together with the adoption of the above ordinance).
City Attorney Jack White explained that the way the Policy in question (701)
is worded, the work to be performed would be done at the property owner's
expense.

Council approved and adopted Council Policy No. 701 as revised. MOTION

FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY in the amount of $3,308,232.71, in
accoxdance with the 1987-88 Budget, were approved.
179: REQUEST FOR REHEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2888: Submitted by
Anaheim Hills Citizens Coalition, requesting a rehearing for conditional Use
Permit No. 2888, to permit a church on RS-HS-22,000 (SC) zoned property
located at 441 Fairmont Boulevard, with Code waiver of maximum structural
height, granted by Council on April 21, 1987. This matter was continued from
the meeting of July 7, 1987, to this date.
Because of possible conflict of interest, Councilman Hunter excused himself
from discussion and action on this rehearing request.
Mr. Robert Zemel, Chairman of the Anaheim Hills Citizens Coalition, 7330
Stonecreek Lane, Anaheim, advised that seven homeowner associations in the
Anaheim Hills area were represented by the Coalition. While they are not
opposed to construction of churches, they were opposed to the development of a
church in such a pristine area; and they felt spending time on an additional
hearing would be more appropriate than the filing of a lawsuit. In their
opinion, a Negative Declaration as approved on April 21, 1987, was
inappropriate for the site, due to the traffic that would be generated,
landslide potential, and the fact that archeological concerns were not
addressed; Scenic Corridor Zone requirements had not been met, trees were not
being protected, and they felt an Environmental Impact Report was essential.
The church would be using this proposed facility as a central meeting place
678
99
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 21, 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
for all Latter-Day Saints churches in the area, not Just for a "double stake",
as represented. The General Plan does not permit this type of development.
Mr. Gary Baum, of Ball, Hunt, Hart, Brown and Baerwitz, attorneys representing
the Coalition of homeowners, stated that although they were in favor of the
Latter-Day Saints Church, they were also in favor of a fair hearing. They
felt that the resolution adopted by the City Council on April 21, 1987, was
defective in that it did not list the Negative Declaration in accordance with
Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.03.084 and it was not mailed within 10 days
after the hearing. The proposed development would use a very large share of
the acreage on the site, and in his opinion, an Environmental Impact Report
should be required. He pointed out that the Homeowners Coalition had sent the
applicants a list of alternate sites for the church, and in response, they
received a letter which labeled their action "harassment"; therefore, the
Coalition was requesting a rehearing.
In response to questions by the Council, Mr. Robert Zemel returned to advise
that a lawsuit had been filed to protect the interests of the Anaheim Hills
Citizens Coalition; it was necessary to direct a Writ of Mandamus to the City,
although the real party of interest was the Latter-Day Saints Church. The
homeowners would like to see subject property developed for one-half acre
hillside homes, taking Fairmont Street into account and providing a full
Environmental Impact Report.
Mr. Floyd L. Farano, Farano & Kieviet, attorney representing the applicants,
addressed the Council in rebuttal advising that in granting the permit for the
church, all findings were made by the City Council; evidence was offered
during the public hearings by the Latter-Day Saints Church as required; twelve
witnesses appeared for the opposition at the first hearing, eight at the
second and eleven at the third, each of whom had the opportunity to speak as
long as he wished. Six exhibits were displayed and two expert witnesses
introduced to cover traffic and environmental impact issues. After reviewing
the minutes and taped record of the three meetings, it was his opinion that
the hearings were fair; all evidence was carefully considered, and there were
no grounds for a rehearing. Each of the items mentioned today by the
opponents was discussed at the public hearin~s, and the Environmental Impact
Negative Declaration was in compliance with the requirements of the State of
California.
Mr. Gary Baum stated that a number of the homeowners had been unable to gain
access to the Council Chambers in order to be heard at the hearings. The
traffic study data presented was from the year 1985, and he reiterated his
previous statement on issues that were not discussed at the hearing. He
pointed out that his firm had come into the matter late and the homeowners had
been ill-prepared.
Mr. Farano noted that all testimony had been weighed and findings made in
accordance with Code. To grant a request for another hearing because the
opponents feel they were ill-prepared would not be appropriate.
Council discussion ensued, and in answer to question by Councilman Ehrle, City
Attorney Jack White stated that the City Council was not legally bound to
679
100
City Hall, ~naheim~ C~lifornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 21~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
grant a rehearing. Based on the request made and the information received, he
suggested that staff be directed to prepare an amendment to the resolution
granting Conditional Use Permit No. 2888 to reflect more information and close
the gap between the evidence and the conclusionary action. By general'
consent, the City Attorney was instructed to prepare the amendment to the
resolution, as suggested.
Councilman Ehrle stated that he had not yet been elected to Council when the
public hearings were held on subject permit; that he had made a commitment
during his campaign to always vote his conscience and his own mind, and after
reviewing all the information available, including a great deal of
correspondence, he was opposed to a rehearing and felt a proper use of subject
property was a church. The developers indicated 60% of the property would
retain the rural appearance as well as shield the structures. He was of the
opinion that the hearings had been fair and the neighbors given the same
opportunity to present their position as the proponents, however the issue was
appropriate use of the land.
Councilwoman Kaywood expressed appreciation of the caliber of the telephone
calls and mail she had received concerning this issue. The question was, if a
rehearing were granted and the resulting decision the same as before, would
the litigation prevail. In her opinion it would, and nothing she had heard
would alter her original decision. She felt that the proposed church would be
the least amount of impact on the area and many of the conditions imposed in
the Council's action were very protective of neighboring properties.
Councilman Pickler stated he had metwith representatives of both sides and he
realized the importance of the needs and desires of property owners. He had
visited several Latter-Day Saints churches; these were well-maintained and
attractive facilities. All areas of concern had been considered by the City
Council and he was confident that when the church was completed they would be
good neighbors.
In response to Council questioning, Hr. White stated that the amendment to the
resolution granting Conditional Use Permit No. 2888 would be prepared,
executed and distributed in the same manner as the first resolution.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Bay moved that the request for
rehearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2888 be denied. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion. Councilman Hunter was temporarily absent. HOTION
CARRIED.
RECESS: By general consent, the City Council recessed. (3:03 p.m.)

128: MONTHLY FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: Financial Review for the City of Anaheim
for the eleven month period ending May 31, 1987, was submitted.
Councilwoman Kaywood referred to Page 3, Section II-A, which noted that the
City Council was overexpened, primarily due to various unbudgeted expenditures
including 5563,000 for public works construction related to the Anaheim
Museum. She inquired how that occurred.
City Manager William Talley reported that expenditures for the museum were
originally placed in the Council Budget Program Center, however the Council
later elected to authorize up to 5700,000 in expenditures for the conversion
of the Carmegie Library building to house the museum from the Redevelopment
program, less whatever amount of grant funds the City may receive from its
application for the museum. Currently, the renovation project was budgeted
neither from an expense nor a revenue standpoint in the general fund, but
stafi had been directed to transfer that project to the Engineering Department
and bring in a Budget amendment to raise both the project costs and revenues
as a capital project, and also to reflect the reimbursement from the
Redevelopment Agency. It was also noted that the bid for the museum
renovation was lower than had been anticipated.
0m motion by Councilman Bay, seconded by Councilman Pickler, Financial Review
for the City of Anaheim covering the eleven-month period ending May 31, 1987,
was approved. MOTION CARRIED.

at Freedman Forum.
The above was removed from the Consent Calendar Agenda by staff for discussion.
City Attorney White reported that the current agreement requires the City to
operate amd manage parking in connection with the theatre; the proposed action
683
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 21~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
would amend the agreement to require management of the parking responsibility
in conjunction with theatre performances. King of California, Inc., signed an
amended contract earlier today with one change, adding a new Paragrap~No. 4
and renumbering Paragraphs 4 and 5 to 6, respectively. The lessee would have
the responsibility to provide an endorsement to their comprehensive liability
insurance policy providing for garage-keeper's legal liability in the amount
of $500,000 which would also name the City of Anaheim, its officers, agents
and employees as additional insured. It was recommended that this provision
be added, as agreed to by King of California.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Ehrle, agreement
with King of California, Inc., to provide parking management for performances
at Freedman Forum/Celebrity Theatre was authorized as amended, and notice of
termination of agreement with Kinney System, Inc. for parking management at
Freedman Forum was also authorized. MOTION CARRIED.
123: AGRF. EMBNT - MICKEY THOMPSON ENTERTAINMENT GROUP (MTEG) - STADIUM
MOTORSPORTS: Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement
with M.T.E.G. (Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group) to produce all motorsports
events at Anaheim Stadium on the January and February 1988 dates, memorandum
dated July 16, 1987 recommended by the StadinmGeneral Manager, Bill Turner.
It was noted that three proposals had been made for these events at the
Stadium, and several persons had indicated a desire to address the Council.
Mayor Bay announced that those who had an interest in this matter would be
allowed to speak for a maximum of ten minutes each.
Mr. William N. Lobel, of Lobel and Winter, attorneys, 4041 MacArthur
Boulevard, Newport Beach, representing Supercross, Inc. (SXI), stated that Mr.
Mike Goodwin was President of SXI and invented the sport of Supercross, which
was sanctioned by the American Motorcyclists Association. Supercross
consisted of a series of races over a six-month period, and the season's
"crown Jewel" was the beginning event at Anaheim Stadium, which was televised
on ESPN. This sport was supported by Suzuki, Yamaha, and others who spent
millions of dollars every year underwriting their factory teams and paying the
riders; they were the backbone of the sport and would not participate in an
event which was not sanctioned by the American Motorcyclists Association
(AHA). This sanction was absolutely essential to the City with respect to
whom was to be awarded the event for 1988, and Hr. Go0dwin was the only
promoter of motorsports events at Anaheim Stadium which brought the City
national exposure for that sport. He had promoted over one hundred Supercross
events, and started at Anaheim Stadium 12 years ago in 1975, selling out or
nearly selling out the stadium in 10 of those 12 years; he held five of the
top ten attendance records for the Stadium.
In February 1987, Mr. Goodwin had been advised by the Stadium Manager that the
January event had been well done; in fact the Stadium was sold out and
approximately 2,000 people had to be turned away. Later, Supercross, Inc. was
requested to submit a proposal for the 1988 event; they complied and then
received a letter advising that all events for 1988 had been awarded to the
Mlckey Thompson Entertainment Group. In reviewing Mr. Thompson's proposal,
they found some serious discrepancies and at best, they felt the Thompson
684
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Jul7 21~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
proposal was misleading. It was their contention that unless SXI promoted the
1988 competition, Anaheim Stadium would not have an AMA sanctioned event.
Mr. Mickey Thompson, 53 Woodlyn Lane, Bradbury, California, addressed the
Council stating that his group was in the process of applying for a AMA
sanction and saw no reason why they should not receive it. He felt their
event would match Mr. Goodwin's 10-year average, whether sanctioned by the AMA
or not, and cited his past promotion of over 1,000 very successful events in
the United States. He indicated that'his financial status was solid, and his
group had been checked thoroughly by Anaheim Stadium management.
Mr. Phil Bartenetti, 800 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, Attorney
representing the Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group, addressed the Council
advising that due to disputes over use of the Stadium, three promoters had
been requested to furnish proposals, and a decision was made. In 1984, there
had been a difference of opinion as to whether Mr. Goodwin's and Mr.
Thompson's respective organizations had adhered to their agreement regarding
which one would promote motorcycle competition and which would promote
automobile competition. This dispute ended in litigation, and the Thompson
group was the beneficiary of an award for breach of contract. He felt that
examination of the facts would result in a favorable decision to authorize the
agreement with Mr. Thompson.
Mayor Bay asked if anyone was present representing PACE/SRO Promotions, Inc.,
the third party who had submitted a proposal; there was no response.
Mr. William Turner, Stadium Manager, came forward to advise that staff had
taken considerable time to review the three proposals received, and felt they
had chosen the one which would give the stadium the best possible event and
revenues now, and in the future, as recommended in their staff report. In
response to Council questions, he felt that motor sports at Anaheim Stadium
would sell well whether or not they were sanctioned by the American Motorcycle
Association. All three promoters had submitted proposals, and while two of
them submitted audited financial statements with their bids, SXI did not. He
recommended that the City continue the procedure of requesting proposals for
motor sports events in the future.
At the conclusion of brief discussion by the City Council, Councilman Ehrle
moved that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement with
the Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group to produce all motor sports events at
Anaheim Stadium for the January and February 1988 dates, subject to the
following:
1) That the contractor guarantees a minimumattendance revenue equal to
the average over the past 10 years, exclusive of any events where there
was measurable rainfall and of any measurable rainfall during the 1988
event.
2) That the contractor would agree to defend and indemnify the City, its
officers and employees, against any litigation which may be brought by any
person or entity as a result of the award of this contract, provided that
the contractor shall have the right to designate the attorney who shall be
685
94
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 21, 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
given the right to defend the City; but that the City would not be
required to waive any conflict of interest.
Councilman Hunter seconded the motion. Councilman Pickler voted "no" to this
motion, being of the opinion that the Supercross has been good for the City of
Anaheim, and he wanted to insure that the revenue would be there. MOTION
CARRIED.
150: PARKS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES STRATEGIC PLAN: With the aid
of a slide presentation, Christopher Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and
Community Services, described a Strategic Plan for use as guidelines in
establishing priorities for the allocation of department resources, as set
forth in his memorandum dated July 6, 1987, and attached 38-page Strategic
PlanReport, prepared by the Planning Group. A Citizen Task Force of 22
members was established and, together with the Strategic Plan Committee of
staff members, provided support and recommendations to the consultants who
prepared the final report.
At the conclusion of his presentation, Mr. Jarvi introduced Mr. Gene Grtgsby,
the President of the Planning Group, who briefed the mechanics of obtaining
the information and distilling various components into the final document
presented. There was a very large amount of backup documentation for the
process. One useful tool was the 1985 household survey of 754 residents
throughout the City which assisted in determining who used parks and
recreation facilities, who participated in programs and who was aware of
activities provided by the department; also determining what attitudes people
had about the quality of services, programs and fees; what was needed, what
was lacking, and what needed improvement. Fifty-three percent of those
surveyed had lived in the City for five or more years and 58% of those were
park users. The most frequent users fell within the 18-24 age group and
others were largely in the 65-plus group. City parks were rated extremely
high in the survey, and Mr. Grigsby gave a brief summary of the scoring on the
various facilities. The results indicated a need for more athletic
facilities, picnic facilities, playgrounds, restrooms and security lighting,
in that order. People indicated that the City should pay more attention to
human services programs, such as those oriented towards senior citizens,
children, housing, teens, substance abuse and crime prevention.
Dividing the City into three areas, it was found that approximately one-third
of the population resided in each section; however, dividing the citizens into
groups such as the elderly, minority groups, etc., reflected a differen~
balance and in turn, that affected the needs projected for each area. Future
growth indicated the majority of population increase would be in the east
section, which would have an impact on the City's ability to meet the demands
for services, facilities and human services activities. Mr. Grigsby felt that
in the future, it would be necessary to address this increase in demand, and
also the shift in the nature of the demand, given the changes in the
population characteristics that would be occurring. Various sources of
funding to meet these needs were suggested.
During the discussion which followed, Councilman Ehrle inquired what was
projected for additional community centers in the City. Mr. Jarvi responded
686
91
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 21~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
that there was a need for additional facilities in the east and west portions
of the City, and the Trident Center would need to be replaced. He envisioned
four large centers in the future, supported by a number of smaller ones; any
projections would be limited by the availability of land.
Councilman Bay pointed out that any strategic plan was limited by funding
under priorities selected by the City Council. Concerning senior citizens, he
felt there were a great many of the in Anaheim who could not be considered
"needy", and perhaps services should be concentrated on those who were in need.
Hr. Jarvi advised there were three basic groups of senior citizens: (1) The
frail elderly for whom the department had a limited but important social
companionship program administered at a low cost, with funding through United
Way; (2) A second group of those who had a need for social interaction; and
the senior center was focused on this group and those active elders helped
themselves by running their own programs at the center provided by the City;
(3) A third group which was comprised of those not interested in dealing with
government programs,
Councilman Bay then addressed landscaped medians, noting that one nearby city
has been converting these into non-landscaped medians due to the costs of
maintaining the landscaping. Although the planted areas were attractive, in
his opinion they should receive a very low priority and the City should look
into installing as few medians as possible, balancing any safety factor
against possible problems caused for businesses along the routes as well as
costs involved.
Mr. Jarvi was of the opinion that these medians beautified the City and were
important aspects of both aesthetics and economic development. Aesthetics
were especially important in the commercial-recreational area of the City and
he agreed that care should be taken in selecting median locations. Low
maintenance plantings and drip irrigation were utilized by the department to
cut down on costs and water usage.
Finally, Councilman Bay addressed the issue of child care, which he felt was a
social welfare program and he personally opposed it through City departments,
beyond the specific funding provided by County, State and Federal agencies,
restricted to the specific use of social welfare programs and as predetermined
by the source of the funds.
Mr. Jarvi replied that he was not suggesting that the City become involved in
the provision of direct services, but he was attempting to find a way to
encourage child care in the City, with the department acting as a facilitator,
bringing people together to obtain solutions. He invited the Council to let
him know if they felt the department's role should be refocused, and he
intended to bring back to Council specific approaches with funding mechanisms.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed to the changes which had occurred in families
today with mothers, not at home, many latchkey children, etc. She felt that
if care were not provided, eventually many of these youngsters would become
school dropouts, gang members, etc., and she felt preventive care was vital.
Mr. Jarvi concurred, noting that one part-time person in a recreation program
could prevent spending more money on another full-time police officer.

Cit~,~-ll, ~-.hetm~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 21~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Pickler commented that the senior citizen volunteer programs
returned more to the City than was given to them. The recreation area should
be given as impressive an appearance as possible. He agreed that medians
should be looked at individually to see if the need was imperative. He felt
that monies put into the child care programs would be more than compensated by
keepin~ youngsters out of Jail and in constructive activities.
Councilman Bay restated his expressed view on social welfare programs. In
addition, he felt that medians in the recreation area and on some major
streets entering the City might have some value; however some which run
through individual neighborhoods (such as one in Anaheim Shores) could be
installed only at the request of that community, which could then assume the
responsibility for the maintenance.
Councilman Ehrle felt the medians added a great deal to the City, and since
Anaheim was a tourist-oriented community, he would like to see some
cooperative effort made to entice citizens to spruce up the neighborhoods in
west and central Anaheim.
Councilman Pickler commended the Strategic Plan Committee and the Task Force
for an outstanding report, and indicated he wanted to see the City move
forward as it had done in the past.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the strategies developed in the plan as
guidelines to establish priorities for the allocation of department
resources. Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
123: AGREEMENT - ROGER MORRIS - INN AT THE PARK:
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to waive the provisions of the Brown Act
finding that the need to act arose after the Council's printed agenda was
posted. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
On the recommendation of the City Engineer, and on motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Ehrle, the Mayor and City Clerk were
authorized to execute an agreement with Roger Morris, Inn At The Park, to
satisfy conditions of development for Variance no. 3566 (Condition No. 12,
Resolution No. 86R-189). MOTION CARRIED.
108: RmPORT - WEST COAST CAB COMPANY APPLICATION: City Attorney White
reported that the City Council had, at the meeting of July 7, 1987, referred
the application by West Coast Cab Company to operate in the City of Anaheim to
a Hearing Officer; and further, had offered the applicant and Yellow Cab
Company of Northern Orange County, the primary party of opposition to the
application, an opportunity to agree on a Hearing Officer by July 14, 1987.
If the two parties had not agreed by that time, the City Council was to select
a Hearing Officer to hear the case by reference. No agreement was reached,
but the applicant had suggested that Judge Phil Petty of the Judiciary
Arbitration Service would be acceptable; the Yellow Cab Company Counsel had
suggested that Judge William Turkish, Hearing Officer for the Public Utilities
Commission who also heard Civil Service matters by reference under contract to
the City of Long Beach, would be acceptable. Mr. White thereupon recommended
688
89
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL HINUTES - July 21, 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
that Judge Turkish be appointed by the Council, due to his familiary with the
issue of public convenience and necessity through his experience, and taking
into consideration the costs of the hearing, which would be considerably less
than charges of the Judiciary Arbitration Service. Mr. White further"
recommended that the procedures to be utilized during the hearing would be
basically the same as those the City Council would use, and that the Hearing
Officer be allowed to set his own ground rules for the manner in which the
hearimg would be conducted.
Mr. Steven Silverstein, 2001 E. First Street, Santa Aha, attorney
representing West Coast Cab Company, addressed the Council pointing out that
the Council had, on July 1, 1987 referred them to the Judicial Arbitration
Service, where they went to obtain the information as to what Judge would be
available on what dates. That information was then provided to the opposing
Council; however the other party took a different approach and the applicants
were still experiencing a delay in having their application heard and
approved, as had been the recommended by City staff.
City Attorney White recalled that the Judicial Arbitration Service was used as
an illustration of one source for a Hearing Officer, and he felt it was not
the intention of the Council to restrict the selection to only one source.
Further discussion was held, and concern was expressed that further delays
could result if another arbitrator was sought.
Mr. Floyd Farano, 100 So. Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim, attorney representing Yellow
Cab Company of Northern Orange County, was present and reconfirmed that the
opponents had agreed to pay the costs of the Hearing Officer for this matter.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved that Judge William Turkish be approved as the
Hearing Officer for the West Coast Cab Company application. Councilman
Pickler seconded the motion.
Further discussion was held concerning whether the Council should look for a
third alternative Hearing Officer or follow the recommendations by the City
Attorney. At the conclusion of the discussion, the motion was re-stated;
Council Members Hunter and Ehrle voted "no' to the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
On motion by Councilman Pickler, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the hearing
on the West Coast Cab Company application was scheduled for ~onday, August 10,
1987 at 9:30 a.m. in the Sixth Floor Conference Room at the Anaheim Civic
Center, 200 South Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim. To this motion, Councilman Bay
voted 'no'. MOTION CARRIED.
RECESS: Councilman Bay moved to recess to 7:00 p.m. for a dinner break.
Councilman Hunter seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (6:05 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present with the exception of Council Members Pickler and Kaywood.

Yorba Linde would bear the cost of replacing signs along the 91-Freeway.
Councilman Bay moved that the request be approved, subject to the condition
that Yorba Linda pay all costs necessary for the change. Councilman Ehrle
seconded the motion. Council Members Pickler and Kaywood were absent. MOTION
179: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 18.04.080: On May 5, 1987,
staff was requested to report on a possible amendment to Municipal Code
Section 18.04.080 relating to street dedications and improvements to public
streets, permitting developers to post bond in lieu of cash payments required
to insure construction of necessary improvements at a future undetermined date.
Council Members Pickler and Kaywood entered the Council Chambers. (7:25 p.m.)
Councilman Ehrle stated he had received requests from two Planning
C~tssioners for a continuance on this matter to allow them time to review
and offer their recommendations. He thereupon moved that the proposed
amendment to the Anaheim Municipal Code be referred to the City Plannin~
Commission for a report. Councilman Hunter seconded the motion.
690
87
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 21~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
Discussion was held as to the nature of the report requested from the Plannin~
Commission, and City Attorney Whtte advised that the Commission, at their
meeting of July 20, 1987, had a condition recommended by staff which related
to this subject of substituting cash payment in lieu of current street'
improvements. This was a requirement of the Municipal Code, even if it was
not set out as a condition, and the Commission became concerned with the
language; therefore, they were requesting to continue subject proposed
amendment.
Responding to questions posed by Council Members, Attorney White clarified
that the proposed amendment before Council was to allow, in place of cash
payments for street improvements in connection with building permits, a bond
of indefinite term to be posted; when timing of ultimate improvements was
determined, the obligor on the bond would be asked to make the full payment.
If payment was not forthcoming, the City would install the improvements and
seek reimbursement against the bond. Existing Code allowed cash payment in
lieu of a bond or installment, when timing on the ultimate street improvements
was unknown. In his opinion, problems could arise with bonds of indefinite
nature when properties might be transferred in the interim and new owners
would be responsible.
City Engineer, Gary Johnson, expressed the opinion that any process dealing
with lon&-term bonding or property liens would place the City at unnecessary
risk, and would also generate additional staff work tn setting up bond
tracking systems. He felt that the system currently in place was fair, placed
the City at no risk and allowed developers to meet their obligation under the
Code as well as providing flexibility for critical improvements where general
resources were not able to accommodate them.
Council Members Bay and Pickler expressed concern that small business people
looking to expand their businesses find that they must pay many thousands of
dollars in connection with building permits . . . perhaps more than the actual
expansion would cost. This was a deterrent to new businesses as well.
Mr. Johnson pointed out that the staff report recommending the amendment to
Code suggested that the Council might make provision that the City Engineer
could waive requirements for street improvements on minor alterations, or
additions to existing structures; requirements for dedication would remain in
force. He recommended that the in-lieu payment for future improvements be
retained rather than providing for long-term faithful performance bonds.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Ehrle re-stated his motion,
that the proposed amendment to Section 18.08.080 of the Anaheim Hunicipal Code
relating to dedications an improvements to public streets be continued for
four weeks, staff to amend the proposed changes as discussed. Councilman
Hunter seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

175: POLICY - WATER UTILITY CAPITAL FINANCING PLAN: Determination of policy
on the Water Utility Capital Financing Plan was continued from the meeting of
July 14, 1987, for consideration by the entire Council membership.
Mr. Gordon Hoyt, Utilities General Manager, noted the alternative financing
provided in the staff report dated July ?, 1987, for necessary water utility
financing over the next 25 years. The Public Utilities Board supported the
departmental recommendation that a 414 million bond issue be placed on the
November ballot, with 45 million to be sold rather quickly thereafter, and the
additional 49 million to be sold at a later date. An alternative
recommendation was to place a 45 million bond issue on the November ballot and
increase water rates by approximately 10% in order to build up a reserve fund
for capital improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis. The Department's plan
would be more costly in interest over the years, and the rate impact would be
higher, as shown in the staff report, Attachment A, Figure 2; rate increases
would fall somewhere between six and eight percent over the next few years.
By the other method, there would be an immediate rate increase with
approximately 42 million a year being placed in a reserve fund for the Capital
improvements. The water rates would be somewhat higher through 1997, as shown
on Attachment A, Figure 2; however once the capital improvements are made, the
need for retaining the surcharge should vanish and a rate decrease should be
the result.
Responding to questions posed by Council Members, Mr. Hoyt advised that under
the alternative plan recommended by the Public Utilities Board, the 45 million
bond would fall under the long-term maturity of 25 years, with water rates
increasing by an average of approximately 10% through 1991. He continued to
favor his departmental recommendation of placing the 414 million bond issue on
the November ballot, believing that the general community would be happier
with a relatively small, consistent increase as opposed to a rather large
increase as well as paying more for water over the next five years. In
addition, that recommended plan would allow those who use the facilities an
opportunity to participate in payment therefor without placing all of the
payment for long-life facilities on the current rate payers.
Councilman Pickler moved that the $14 million bond issue be placed on the
November ballot, as recommended by the Public Utilities staff, with 45 million
of that issue to be sold first. Councilman Hunter seconded the motion.
MOTION CAEXIED.
