167: PRESENTATION - TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM AND CHANGEABLE MESSAGE SIGN
PROJECT: City Engineer, Gary Johnson, briefed his staff report dated
August 18, 1987, advising that in response to the Council's expressed interest
in receiving an update as to the status of strategies to improve traffic flow
throughout the City, Mr. Jack Kay, President of JHK & Associates, Consultant,
was present to outline the Traffic Signal System and Changeable Message Sign
Project, with the aid of projected slides. (Project plan on file in the
Office of the City Clerk).
Mr. Kay stated that the emphasis of the project was to improve signal
progression, and minimize delays and accident potential, utilizing message
signs, coordinated traffic signals, sensors and closed circuit television
cameras. The system would have to be matched to traffic conditions while
being adaptable as traffic changes. It should be a reliable and maintainable
system, as well as being self-monitoring. The message signs would give
special information and direction to motorists. It was planned to locate the
Control Center for the system in the Willdan Building, where the City's Data
Processing Division was located.
The project was proposed to be activated in two phases, with the first
scheduled for completion in 1989, and the second in 1992. Costs for Phase I
were projected at $2,670.00, and ~2,145.00 for Pase II. Also discussed was
coordination of the project with the State Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), and involvement by Amaheim Police Department. Projected benefits
to the City would include reduced delays, reduced stops, improve motorist
information and increased coordination with City Agencies and Caltrans.
Individual Council Members expressed congratulations on a well done report,
and Councilman Hunter inquired how the system would be coordinated with the
new Police Communications Center.
Mr. Kay explained that when a significant event occurs in the City, the
Control Center would be co-manned by Traffic Engineering and Police Traffic
personnel, and computer aided dispatch would be available along with a direct
radio access. For other events, a "hotline" would be in service between the
two facilities.
In response to additional questions by Council, Mr. Kay stated that the
proposed system provided for the timing which would control the delays caused
by pedestrian traffic; that the costs of changing some existing signals were
785
119
City Hall, ~n~heim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 25~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
included in the projections offered; and that the area on Katella Avenue where
traffic designations include the Convention Center, Disneyland, hotels and
other tourist-oriented facilities was one of seven designated for "Critical
Intersection Control", where the seven closed-circuit television cameras would
be located, and where a special form of computerized supervisory activity
would be activated to insure that the major flows of traffic would be balanced.
Mayor Bay pointed out that where the project plan mentions project payback
periods, the reference is to savings and to expenditures of fuel, not payback
of the capital expenditure. The City Council expressed appreciation to both
Mr. Kay and Mr. Johnson for their presentation.
MINUTES: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the minutes of the regular
meeting held July 7, 1987. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION

136/123: WESTERN MEDICAL CENTER - HEALTH FACILITIES FINANCING: Mrs. Betty
Ronconi, 1241 So. Walnut Street, Anaheim, representing H.0.M.E. (Homeowners to
Maintain the Environment), addressed the Council requesting clarification of
the proposed resolution providing preliminary approval of au installment sale
financing in an amount not to exceed $30,000,000. This agenda item was for
the purpose of providing financing for health facilities at Western Medical
Center; designating Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe as special counsel; and
Banker's Trust Company as placement agent. It was Mrs. Ronconi's
understanding that the financing was for expansion of facilities at the
hospital, and she expressed support for good physical and mental health care.
She inquired what actual benefit the proposed City indemnification would bring
to health care for the citizens, since she knew of no stipulation by Western
Medical Center that the savings in interest for the financing would be passed
on to their patients. She called upon the Council to insure that this action
would be beneficial to the citizens.
Mr. George Ferrone, Finance Director for the City, advised that the proposal
related to one of the rare exceptions in government financing that allows
municipalities to provide tax-exempt financing for non-profit hospitals,
resulting, in this instance, in considerable savings of $11.5 million over the
next 20 years to the hospital. The City was acting as a conduit, as it had
done during the past two years for Martin Luther Hospital and for their
789
City Hall~ Ansheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 25~ 1987~ 1:30 P.M.
retirement center. This would impose no limitations of any kind on the City,
which was passing along that federal legislation for the benefit of the
hospital and the constituents.
Mrs. Carolyn Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer of Western Medical Center -
Anaheim, 1025 S. Anaheim Boulevard, stated that their non-profit hospital was
part of United Western Medical Centers which operated two acute care centers
in Orange County, including the one in Anaheim. Mrs. Gillespie advised that
the hospital was not adding any beds, but converting 22 beds from
medical/surgical use to intensive care because the hospital was actively
involved in a cardiovascular program and they did more heart catheterizations
and angioplasties than any other hospital in the County. The hospital had
recently opened a much-needed 24-bed acute rehabilitation unit which was the
only such unit in the area. They provided mental health services on Medi-Cal
contract with Orange County, as well as providing health services on medically
indigent adult care for mental and medical health, also under contract with
the County. The hospital sponsored in May, 1987, a 2-day seminar in
peripheral angioplasty, attended by over three hundred physicians from all
over the United States, and five of whom came from foreign countries. In
response to Council question, she reported that there are four coronary care
units in the local area, but only one other besides Western Medical had the
open heart catheterization laboratory. Clarification of whether mental health
facilities would be improved was requested by Mrs. Ronconi.
Mr. Ferrone called attention to his staff report dated August 18, 1987,
containing copy of letter dated July 14, 1987 from the hospital, page 2,
paragraph C, wherein expansion, renovation and remodeling of the located
psychiatric unit was included among others.
Councilman Bay offered Resolution No. 87R-361 for adoption, refer to
Re6olution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 87R-361: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM PROVIDING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF AN INSTALLMENT SALE FINANCING NOT TO

reported that he and Councilman Pickler met with Mr. Vic Peloquin, developer
of Peralta Hills East, concerning the block wall under construction adjacent
to the north side of Nobl Ranch Road. Mr. Peloquin had made a number of
concessions, and it was felt that residents of the area shhould wait and see
how the finished project will look; perhaps the customized extra brick work
and landscaping will take away from the fact that there is a solid wall in
place.
123/101: STADIUM MOTORSPORTS AGREEMENT - MICKEY THOMPSON ENTERTAINMENT GROUP
(MTEG): Councilman Ehrle referred to agreement authorized by Council on
July 21, 1987, with MTEG to produce all motor sports events at Anaheim for the
January and February 1988 dates, and expressed concern that the action may
have been based on misleading information. He submitted for Council review
copies of recent communications from Carl Karcher Enterprises, rejecting an
offer by Supercross, Inc. to sponsor the January, 1988 Supercross Race at
Anaheim Stadium, and from Coca-Cola Bottling Company stating they had no
agreement with any promoter nor with Anaheim Stadium to promote a motorcross
evemt. Also submitted was a copy of an agreement between the American
Motorcyclists Association and Insport, stipulating that the AMA agreed not to
sanction any of these types of events within 250 miles of a facility where a
Supereross event sanctioned under said agreement would take place within three
months before, or two months after the date of such event, without prior
written agreement of PACE and SMC.

ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Mr. Joe White, 809 W. Broadway, Anaheim, addressed the Council questioning why
traffic signals at Broadway and Citron Streets had been replaced with new
794
City B~]I~ An-helm, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 25, 1987, 1:30 P.M.
signals, and why a right-turn lane was being provided for eastbound traffic at
the same intersection.
(Traffic Engineer Paul Singer explained that in conjunction with redevelopment
in the area, Broadway was to be widened all the way to Manchester Avenue by
six feet on'each side, and a continuous left-turnwould be provided. As new
office buildings had been constructed, their portions of the street had
already been widened by the developers, at no cost to the taxpayers.)
Mr. Walter Bormann, 2704 W. Ball Road, Anaheim, questioned who was the
ultimate recipient on fees collected for parking at the Hilton Hotel and
Towers in Anaheim, and requested clarification of the urgency ordinance
adopted earlier in the meeting.
City Attorney Jack White advised that the urgency ordinance was a necessary
action taken before August 1 each year, setting the tax rate to pay on the
City's bonded indebtedness, as allowed by Proposition 13 and under the City
Charter.
Mayor Bay pointed out that the Anaheim Hilton Hotel and Towers matter was not
on today's scheduled agenda and inasmuch as there is pending litigation, the
City Council could not comment. Mr. Bormann was advised to check with staff
or individual Council Members if he so desired.
RECESS: By general consent, the City Council recessed for 15 minutes.
(3:19 p.m.)
AFTE~RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (3:35 p.m.)
153/106: CONTINUED - RESOURCEALLOCATION PLAN WORKSHOP: Prior to taking any
action on items listed under Unfinished Business, Mayor Bay stated that after
looking over a great many new figures on projected revenues and costs, the
City is faced with serious imbalances, ranging from 55.7 million for the
current year, to 57.8 million for the second year, all of which are deficits
at this point in time. Action could, however, be taken to clear some of the
items on the agenda this date.
RESOLUTION NOS. 87R-362 THROUGH 87K-365: Councilman Bay stated that the first
four resolutions establishing a Management Pay Plan for various
classifications had been amended and did not include any increases in ranges
for pay scales at this time. He thereupon offered Resolution Nos. 87R-362
through §7K-3§5 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Book.
WAIVE~ OF READING - ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to
waive the reading in full of all ordinances and resolutions of the A~enda,
after reading of the title thereof by the City Clerk, and that consent to
waiver is hereby given by all Council Members, unless after reading of the
title, specific request is made by a Council Member for the reading of such
ordinances or resolutions in regular order. Councilman Bay seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.

The Mayor declared Resolution Nos. 87R-362 through 87R-365, both inclusive,
duly passed and adopted.
153/106: PROPOSEDADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING PERSONNEL: Brief discussion
was held and it was noted that Parking Authority plans had been severely
impacted by the loss of the projected Katella Redevelopment Project.
Councilman Bay moved that the proposed additional positions of Associate
Traffic Engineer, Senior Traffic Engineering Aide and Transportation
Management Coordinator for the Public Works - Engineering Department be
removed £rom the City Council Agenda. Councilman Hunter seconded the motion.
City Engineer Gary Johnson pointed out that the two Parking Authority staff
positions had been approved on July 28, 1987, and in fact interviews were
scheduled for the Parking Authority Manager during the coming week. The
positions before Council today were for the Traffic Engineering Division, to
assist in making progress and implementing Vision 2000 measures for dealing
with traffic congestion in the City. Also, although Anaheim had considerably
less Traffic Engineering staff than Santa Ana or Irvine, he felt they were
doing a good Job while Anaheim's transportation problems were even more
complex than those of either of the other two jurisdictions.

City Hall, An-heim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 25, 1987, 1:30 P.M.
Responding to questions posed by Council Members, Mr. Johnson stated, if given
a choice between the Parking Authority positions and the ones under
consideration today, he would probably prefer the Traffic Engineering staff
positions to be authorized at this time.
Discussion was held by City Council and at the conclusion thereof, Councilman
Bay withdrew his motion, and Councilman Hunter withdrew his second.
Thereupon, Councilman Bay moved to continue this proposed addition to the
Traffic Engineering staff for one week (September 1, 1987), and to add the two
positions previously approved for the Parking Authority staff for
reconsideration at that time. Motion died for lack of a second.
At the conclusion of additional discussion, it was moved by Councilman
Pickler, seconded by Councilman Hunter, that the matter be continued one week
(September 1, 1987) and that previously approved Parking Authority positions
be included with consideration of the Traffic Engineering staff positions at
that time. MOTION CARRIED.
153/106: PROPOSED ADDITIONS TO POLICE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL: Councilman Bay
moved that the 35 positions for the Police Department, as listed on the
agenda, be tabled indefinitely, due to the fact that the Council was
initiating studies on Police Department positions. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion.
Acting City Manager Simpson pointed out that the first three listed Positions
comprised of one Communications Manager and two Community Services
Representatives, were replacement positions and constituted no increase to the
total staff in that department. The fourth position, a Civil Liability
Investigator, was an increase from 32 hours to 40 hours; it was a
cost-effective position, having saved the City more than $300,000 at 32 hours
a week, and was expected to save more than enough more to compensate for the
additional costs.
Council Members Bay and Pickler withdrew their previous motion and second.
Councilman Bay then moved to approve the first four positions, as discussed,
and that the balance of positions be tabled, pending completion of the study.
Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
153/106: ESTARLISHMENT OF MERIT POOL FUND - CERTAIN MANAGEMENT
CLASSIFICATIONS:
MOTION: Councilman Bay 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 Ehrle seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Bay offered Resolution No. 87R-366 and 87R-367 for adoption, and
stated that the first resolution established the merit pool fund for
classifications designated as Executive Management and Administrative
Management at 2%, and the second resolution established the merit pool fund
for classifications designated as Middle Management/Supervisory, and
Professional/Technical Management at 3%; both effective June 26, 1987. These
percentages would result in savings over the originally proposed 5.5% of

~278,211 in the General Fund Budget. He further advised it was not his
intention to eliminate the merit pool nor, necessarily, the Management by
Objectives system; but it was his intent to get these matters back under the
direct control and policy-making of the City Council. Working with
Management, he intended to propose many reductions in expenditures in order to
balance the budget. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 87R-366: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM ESTABLISHING THE MERIT POOL FUND FOR CLASSIFICATIONS DESIGNATED AS
EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT.
RESOLUTION NO. 87R-367: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM ESTABLISHING THE MERIT POOL FUND FOR CLASSIFICATIONS DESIGNATED AS
MIDDLE MANAGEMENT/SUPERVISORYAND PROFESSIONAL/TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out an existing problem that employees often earn
more than their managers, due to overtime; therefore, it was difficult to
obtain a good turnout of applicants for promotional opportunities. This was
unfair to the people who took on the additional responsibilities of management.
Councilman Pickler felt that the 5.5% was a commitment that had been made by a
previous City Council at the beginning of Fiscal Year 1986-87, and it should
be retained; if the Council decided to cut it next year, that could be
accomplished, but it was not fair to do so at this time.
Councilman Bay expressed the opinion that it was a false premise that such
commitments were made prior to Budget considerations; the current Council
membership had not made any such commitments.
