108/142: REQUEST TO AMEND STREET VENDING ORDINANCE: Jose Luis Bucio,
President, and Pedro Vasquez, Secretary~ Union de Comerciantes Latinos,
requesting amendments to Ordinance No. 4615 which regulates street vending.
Mr. Jose Luise Bucio, 725 Mavis Street, Anaheim, President of the newly formed
Union de Comerciantes Latinos del Sur de California read a prepared statement
through his interpreter, Mr. Robert Nays, Education Specialist, Orange County
Human Relations Commission (statement on file in the City Clerk's Office).
The thrust of Mr. Bucio's presentation was to urge the City Council to
consider amending or rescinding Ordinance No. 4615, thereby allowing street
vendors to sell in the City of Anaheim. The vendors, who were small business
men and women, had been adversely affected by the ordinance as well as many
individuals, families and senior citizens who relied on the produce sold by
street vendors. Mr. Bucio's presentation included a 3-part plan if the
Council allowed the vendors to sell which plan could be incorporated into the
ordinance. (See Page 2, Item Nos. 1, 2 and 3 listed in Mr. Bucio's statement).
In concluding, Mr. Bucio also submitted a proposed ordinance by the Union for
Council review providing that, "Street vendors will be allowed to sell their
produce in the City of Anaheim between the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. It
will be unlawful for a vendor to park longer than five (5) minutes after his
last customer. It will be unlawful for vendors to use their music before
9:00 a.m. or later than 7:00 p.m."
City Clerk Leonora Sohl announced that 101 form letters had been received with
signatures in favor of the proposed amendment to the ordinance; Mr. Nava
explained that over 3,000 signatures had been obtained throughout the City and
the letters announced by the City Clerk which had been sent to the City
Council were from the Chevy Chase neighborhood.
City Clerk Sohl then read a statement written by Mr. Frank Morales, Director
of Administration for the Neighborhood Improvement Program of Anaheim (NIPA)
who was present at the meeting but had to leave. The thrust of Mr. Morales's
statement was as follows: The purpose of his organization is to reverse the
present state of deterioration and provide a better living environment for the
residents of the Patrick Henry/Chevy Chase area. They have addressed several
problems to date - trash disposal, health problems and drugs. The most recent
problem is associated with street vendors causing the following problems:
traffic congestion, trash, noise and health problems. They are not opposed to
175
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL HINLrfES - March 18~ 1986~ 1:05 P.M.
street vendors per se but are opposed to the heavy concentration of vendors
and the foregoing problems associated with that concentration (complete
statement on file in the City Clerk's Office).
Mr. Nava explained that there was one additional speaker from the community.
Councilman Pickler stated since the request was to change an ordinance, he
first wanted a staff report on the issue and subsequently a public hearing in
order to receive input from both sides. He felt it was premature to be
listening to testimony and asked that the matter be referred to staff for a
comprehensive report and then a public hearing at a future date.
John Poole, Code Enforcement Supervisor, reported he had met with street
vendors and neighbors impacted by the street vending. Staff had also looked
at other cities and a report could be prepared and submitted to the Council so
that they could better understand the full problem and be aware of what other
cities were doing to address it. Mayor Roth stated the recommendation was to
set a public hearing after a recommendation from staff to give an opportunity
for the citizens to be advised.
Councilman Bay stated he had no problem with hearing one more speaker, but he
did have a problem with pre-deciding whether or not the Council was going to
set a public hearing. He wanted first to see the staff report and the Council
could subsequently decide the course of action at that time.
Oisa Luna, 507 South Street, Apt. 10, speaking through the
interpreter, Mr. Nava, explained that since the vendors had not
been selling in her area she has been adversely affected. She
bought her produce from the vendors which was fresh and less
expensive. It would be more beneficial for her and her family
if the vendors were also allowed to park in the alley. It was
her understanding that the vendors were having difficulty
because of the trash problem. In her area, trash is generated
because of the large number of people living in the apartments
and there was only one trash bin. When the wind blows, the
trash is dispersed throughout the area. She did not believe the
vendors were violating any laws or causing problems. She and
her neighbors benefited from the services provided because they
had difficulty getting out of their home~. She reiterated it
would be beneficial to her and her neighbors if the City could
allow the vendors to continue selling.
After a brief Council discussion, Councilman Pickler moved to continue the
request for amendments to Ordinance No. 4615 for three weeks.
Before action was taken, Councilman Bay asked that during the interim, Mr.
Nava relay to Mr. Bucio's organization that they should look at what they
might do to solve the problems outlined in Mr. Morales's statement. He also
stated that he wanted to have the staff report in three weeks and then the
matter placed on the agenda the following week.

PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Planning Department Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated January
20, 1986 and report of the City Attorney dated March 14, 1986, recommending
that the City continue to cooperate with the Department of Health Services
(DHS) and other agencies in seeking to remove the hazardous waste.
APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Philip Anthony, representing Orange County Steel Salvage, 2300
East Frontera.
The request is for a very small and simple permit but it brings
with it some difficult issues specifically three main areas of
concern: (1) compliance with City conditions, (2) shredder waste
material which has been accumulating on the property for reasons
beyond their control and (3) the possibility of PCB's
(polychlorinated biphenyls) in the shredder waste. The first
was under the City's Jurisdiction, but the latter two were
beyond the City's control. Mr. Anthony's presentation then
dealt with those three issues which was a reiteration of his
extensive report to the Council submitted under letter dated
March 14, 1986 previously submitted with Attachments 1 through
10 (made a part of the record). At the conclusion of his
presentation, Mr. Anthony emphasized that the status of
compliance with City conditions was virtually 100 percent
complete.
STAFF INPUT
John Poole, Code Enforcement Manager.
The following conditions were not yet complete; the landscaping
was not installed adequately, trees are still in boxes, relative
to the auto-dismantling, as of the 14th of March, Orange County
Steel was still charging at the "pick-your-part" sales~ and
there is storage of shredder wastes and auto parts above the
fence. Otherwise, the conditions have been met. The traveling
crane was never approved under the original CUP and it was still
on the premises. A permit was not required originally since it
was to be on the premises on a temporary basis only for
construction purposes. Once permanently mounted, a permit is
required.
Jack White, City Attorney.
He explained the legal aspects/ramifications of the issue and
briefed the tenants on his report to the Council dated March 14,
1986 which discussed the matter in detail (made a part of the
record). If the CUP is denied, the enforcement activities will
fall primarily on the State government. If approved, the City
178
Ctt7 Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18~ 1986~ 1:05 P.M.
could then control the manner in which the material is removed
and the amount of waste that can be accumulated on the property.
Aunika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning.
She referred to the map posted on the Chamber wall. The area
delineated was never approved for the subject activities except
a year ago November the Planning Commission granted a one year
use permit to terminate on November 24, 1985 for the outdoor
storage of shredder waste. When that terminated, the applicant
had to resubmit to use that property. When that occurred,
because of the expansion of activities on the premises including
the crane, a new CUP was required. This is currently before the
Council and concerns a limited area of land and the additional
activities. If Orange County Steel Salvage continued the
operation as it was now being run, the requested CUP would be
necessary. If the CUP was denied, the applicant would have to
pull back the activity and remove it from the five acre parcel.
The Council would then have to set the matter for a revocation
hearing. Such a hearing had not been scheduled by staff.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilwoman Kaywood.
There was confusion and contradiction involved especially
regarding when waste is and is not hazardous. If there was any
danger to underground water supplies great caution must be
taken, but if old appliances and automobiles were allowed to be
placed in landfills without being shredded, while still
presenting the same toxic waste dangers, it did not make any
sense plus those items if unshredded would take up extra space
in scarce landfill sites. She suggested that the Council
continue action on the matter.
Mayor Roth.
There are many areas of doubt regarding the whole issue
especially with regard to the hazardous material. Another
serious consideration is the consequence of upholding the denial
since the recycling industry is a very vital and necessary one.
Mr. Anthony testified they were on the brink of receiving more
definitive information relative to ~he testing of materials on
the site. He suggested that the matter be continued for 30
days. Because of his deep concern relative to the possibility
of PCB's entering the water supply, he wanted to be certain that
~he State was monitoring the situation on a daily basis.
Councilman Pickler.
He could agree with a 30 day continuance but only if the
applicant stipulated to stopping any shredding at the site.
Councilman Bay.
There was no need to stop the shredding of automobiles since
that shredding did not produce unacceptable PCB levels. The
shredding of appliances which contained PCB's was not presently

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18, 1986~ 1:05 P.M.
PUBLIC INPUT-
IN FAVOR:
occurring at the site as explained in Mr. Anthony's testimony.
The PCB level is the real issue and the most important thing to
be done was to initiate more tests.
Mr. Anthony.
He clarified that at this time Orange County Steel Salvage was
not accepting or shredding any appliances thus eliminating the
chance of producing PCB waste.
James McNalley, Program Manager, Toxic Substance Control
Division, California Department of Health, Los Angeles.
He testified on his Department's position relative to Orange
County Steel Salvage. He referred to the findings of recent
inspections of the subject site which were reported in the
January 20, 1986 minutes of the Planning Commission hearing
where he gave extensive testimony (see Planning Commission
minutes of January 20, 1986). He then addressed issues raised
by Mr. Anthony with which he did not agree or which needed more
elaboration. (Council Members Pickler and Kaywood then posed a
line of questioning to Mr. McNalley).
William C. Taormina, Anaheim Disposal.
Mr. Adams's facility is a vital link in the recycling that takes
place at his (Taormina's) facility. There has been a toxic
problem with regard to appliances and a situation created where
they can no longer accept appliances. Those appliances are now
ending up in vacant lots.
Stan Tkaczyk, representing the Transfer Station Industry in
Orange County. His company is Rainbow Disposal Transfer in
Huntington Beach.
Curtailing recycling operations would have a great impact.
Appliances will be found abandoned all over the place. A
tremendous volume is involved. If Mr. Adams's facilities
closed, the recycling efforts going on in Orange County will be
severely hampered. (He submitted photos showing an accumulation
of appliances in only 3 days in his facility). It was necessary
to work together to solve the problem.
Lt. Neil Timson, Salvation Army, Adult Rehabilitation Center.
The Salvation Army received a letter from the applicant stating
that they could no longer accept appliances (referred to as
"white items"). The situation had a tremendous impact on his
operation.
Reverend Robert Edwards, Grace Baptist Church. (See his letter
of March 14, 1986).
It would be tragedy for Orange County Steel Salvage to close.
George Adams, Jr., Orange County Steel Salvage.
They were relatively close to obtaining a solution to the
180
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18~ 1986~ 1:05 P.M.
issue. He has stopped taking appliances. The Environmental
Protection Agency has to give a ruling. In the meantime, the
waste generated at his facility does not contain PCB's at this
time. Any hazard is not being increased. He reiterated they
have totally discontinued the grinding of all appliances. They
have already laid off 30 people. If he shut down his shredder
entirely, not only would he have to lay off all of his
employees, but also it would affect 80 to 90 percent of his
business, and it would be very difficult for him to meet his
bills.
Councilman Pickler.
He reiterated his concerns relative to the health hazard
reported by the State especially to Mr. Adams's workers.
Mr. Adams.
He emphasized they are no longer shredding any appliances so the
PCB problem does not exist.
Mike Garin, 1775 East Lincoln Avenue.
The solution was to keep the recycling plant operating. He
suggested that the components in appliances that contained PCB's
be removed and the balance shredded. Orange County Steel
Salvage should be allowed to continue that operation.
Councilman Bay.
He saw no problem in allowing the applicant to continue
shredding automobiles. He has not heard any testimony that
there is enough PCB in automobiles to cause hazardous problems.
He would even allow shredding of appliances if someone could
guarantee that every component containing PCB's would be removed
before shredding but he did not believe anyone could give such a
guarantee. There are technical violations of the CUP relative
to the size of the waste pile, the crane, the height of the
fence, etc. Those problems become insignificant compared to
trying to deal with the complexity of what is hazardous waste
and what is not. He could live with the pile being higher than
the fence if some time frame can be established when the Council
could get answers on where the waste was going to be taken. He
did not have the answers to any question but there was also not
enough evidence to stop the recycling.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to continue the public hearing on Conditional
Use Permit No. 2756 for at least 30 days, allow the shredding of automobiles
to continue and hold off on heavy enforcement on the size of the waste pile,
the screening and the crane until more answers were obtained on the toxic
issue. Councilman 0verholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Roth clarified that the proposed action is a
30-day continuance on the zoning matter. They are not asking for any
enforcement other than that being done by the State and Federal government
relative to hazardous waste.
181
City Hall~ Anahe~m~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18~ 1986, 1:05 P.M.
Councilman Pickler.
He agreed with the 30-day continuance only if the applicant
stopped shredding. It was his opinion the workers are in
Jeopardy and there are other reasons for concern. If the matter
is continued, the applicant should stipulate to stopping the
shredding until some definite answers are received.
Councilman 0verholt.
As Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out, if the appliances are the
source of the contamination, additional shredding will not add
anymore PCB's to the pile since only automobiles will be
shredded. Any action the Council takes today would not
alleviate any present PCB problem.
George Adams, Jr.
He stipulated that Orange County Steel Salvage is not going to
grind any more white items (appliances) for the next 30 days,
and until the problem is resolved.
Mayor Roth.
He clarified the public hearing will be continued 30 days and by
that time the State should have supplied answers to the
hazardous waste questions.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Councilman Pickler voted no.
MOTION CARRIED.

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Dennis Cardoza, representing Victor Construction, the developer
for the property.
They are in complete agreement with the Planning staff report
along with internal studies done by the Parks and Recreation
Department. The major objection they had with regard to their
development was the fact that the plans called for trails
through two areas that were impassable due to the steepness of
the terrain. The only way to eliminate the steepness would be
to cut and fill which would have to be over the Four Corners
pipeline. They could not get such approval. Their
recommendations were not to delete, but reroute the trails in
another manner that would accomplish the same results. The
Parks and Recreation Department did find that not only were the
trails not required through their property, but the alternate
routes were also not required. He reiterated they are in
agreement with the provisions of the staff report.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Pro Tem Pickler closed the public hearing.
STAFF INPUT IN ANSWER TO COUNCIL QUESTIONS: Richard Mayer, Park Planner.
There is no inconsistency between the subject equestrian trail
and the County's trails. It is a contiguous trail and will

Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Overholt, the City Council approved the
negative declaration upon finding that it has considered the negative
declaration together with any comments received during the public review
process, and further finding on the basis of the initial study and any
comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will
have a significant effect on the environment. Councilman Roth was temporarily

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Hugo Vasquez, 619 So. Live Oak.
Creat time and effort had been spent in assembling the 6 lots
and meeting with the property owners in order to put the land to
its best use. He then described the project consisting of
40-units mostly 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with 2 different floor
plans. Ail the parking conditions have been met.
Mayor Roth entered the Council Chamber. (4:48 p.m.)
Mr. Vasquez then submitted a color coded map showing those in
the neighborhood who had given their approval and support of the
project. Also included were the packets of petitions coinciding
with the color coded map. As of 1:30 p.m. today, he felt that
the project had gained everyone's support but he was informed at
that time by the church located at 311 No. State College

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18~ 1986~ 1:05 P.M.
Boulevard that they had some major concerns that needed to be
addressed. He also felt they should be addressed but not in a
public forum. He thereupon requested a 30-day continuance of
the public hearing in order to resolve the issues.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
A General Plan Amendment and public hearings were held some
years ago regarding the subject area and it was determined that
low medium density was appropriate with a maximum of 15 units to
the acre. She felt committed to that and the applicant was now
asking for twice the amount. Relative to the letters sent to
the neighbors, she felt that the wording was misleading. It did
not say the applicant was planning 40 units but they were
planning to build a 19 and 20-unit apartment building on the 6
lots which could explain why everybody approved. There was also
a letter received in opposition from a resident on Almond Street
who was concerned and did not want the property to go to medium
density.
It was determined by a show of hands that approximately 12
people were present on the item; Mayor Roth asked those who were
present in opposition if they would be willing to come back and
testify at a later date if the item was continued.
From the audience, a spokesman stated they would be willing to
come back.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to continue the public hearing on GPA No. 208,
Reclassification No. 85-86-21, Variance No. 3534 and negative declaration to
Tuesday, April 22, 1986 at 1:30 p.m. Councilman Overholt seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Vasquez stated he would redraw the letter and have it resigned by the
neighbors if Councilwoman Kaywood felt it was in any way misleading to more
clearly indicate 40 units. However, the neighbors did see the plans.
179: CODE AMENDMENT: T. Steven Rolland, Straight Shooter, Inc., to determine
(a) whether an indoor rifle range and training facility is an appropriate
conditional u~e in the Anaheim Canyon Industrial Area, in connection w~th
Section 18.03.030 Conditional Use Permits - General; (b) whether to amend
subsection 18.61.050.600 to allow such uses in the Canyon IndustrialArea in
connection with approval of a conditional use permit; or (c) whether the use
should specifically not be permitted in the Canyon Industrial Area.
The Planning Commission determined that the use is not compatible with the
industrial community.
Mr. Steve Rolland, 1304 Catalina, Orange, presented his proposal to the
Council that he be allowed a conditional use permit to operate an indoor
shooting range and training facility at 1476 No. Hundley Street. He then
briefed information previously submitted to the City in his letter of
January 28, 1986 with attachments listing his reasons for wanting to establish
185
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18, 1986, !:05 P.M.
the business. The need, the suitability of the facility as well as an
explanation of the concept involved and a detailed explanation of the
operational concept were given. (Documents submitted previously made a part
of the record). His purpose was to establish a family-oriented community
service environment. He urged the Council's positive consideration.
Councilman Bay stated he had nothing against the shooting range, but with its
proposed location which would constitute an intrusion into the northeast
industrial area because it was a commercial operation. The Council had
established a very firm policy not to allow any new CUP's within the newly
revised ordinance which would bring outside customers into the industrial
area. The Council was concerned with traffic problems that had been building
in that area as well as concern over the little remaining industrial property
in the City which they wanted to protect. Mr. Rolland was, in essence, asking
that they modify the existing ordinance and allow his commercial operation as
a new conditional use thereby opening the door to other individual commercial
uses that would draw commercial customers to the area.
After Council Members posed questions to Mr. Rolland relative to his proposed
operation for purposes of clarification, Councilman Pickler moved to confirm
the Planning Commission's determination that the use is not compatible in the
northeast industrial area thereby denying Mr. Rolland's request. Councilman
Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
162/142: NO SMOKING ORDINANCE: A proposed No Smoking Ordinance, adding new
Chapter 6.30 to the Code, relating to smoking in public places. First Reading
of the Ordinance took place at the meeting of December 17, 1985 and Amended
First Readings at the meetings of January ? and February 4, 1986. This matter
was continued from the meetings of November 26, and December 17, 1985,
January 7 and February 4, 1986, to this date (see minutes those dates).
Previously submitted were reports dated January 30, 1986 and February 25, 1986
from the City Manager (on file in the City Clerk's Office).
City Clerk Sohl first read a letter received from Ron Craig, Director of Food
and Beverage, Disneyland Hotel dated March 18, 1986:
"As representative for Disneyland Hotel, I would like to commend the Anaheim
City Council for your responsiveness to our industry's concerns about
Ordinance 6.30.090, concerning the designated areas for smoking and
non-smoking in restaurants. We feel the amended Ordinance is very fair and
allows us to serve the needs of smokers and non-smokers alike.
We support the Ordinance as it stands."
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak to the issue or provide anything new
and different from testimony previously given at the many hearings that had
taken place; there was no response.
Councilman Pickler referred to the section providing that there be not less
than one half of the seating capacity and floor space in cafeterias,
lunchrooms and employee lounges. He questioned if that could be reduced to 25
or 30 percent.

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18, 1986, 1:05 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted if there were any changes to be made, it would
require an amended first reading.
Councilman 0verholt offered Ordinance No. 4678 for adoption. Refer to
Ordinance Book.
ORDINANCE NO. 4678: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIMADDING NEW CHAPTER
6.30 TO TITLE 6 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SMOKING IN PUBLIC
PLACES.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Pickler stated he wished that surveys had
been taken at some of the workplaces to get a better idea of the feelings on
the issue. If that were done in the future and the survey showed that some of
the percentages relative to no smoking in meeting rooms, restrooms, etc. where
employees might want to smoke should be different, that those percentages
could be changed.
Councilman Overholt stated if in practice, it was found that certain elements
of the ordinance did not work, were ineffective or created problems not
anticipated, thereby dictating the wisdom of making amendments, he would like
to consider those at an appropriate time as well.
Mayor Roth explained the ordinance involved three parts, the first relative to
restaurants. The City solicited input from the Restaurant Industry in what he
called a workshopping mode and compromises were reached. He was in favor of
that portion of the ordinance. The second item involved the City's facilities
where again a workshop procedure took place. As a result of dialog with the
industry most involved in leasing the City's facilities (Anaheim Stadium and
the Convention Center) a compromise was reached that was acceptable. This
item also had his strong yes vote. The third area dealt with smoking in the
workplace which was the most difficult issue but there was no in-depth
dialogue or workshopping on that important issue. While he was a strong
believer that there should be no smoking generally if that were at all
possible, he was concerned about over-regulation. The Board of Supervisors
accepted a volunteer program on a 6 month basis and he felt that was a wise
thing to do. He would like to have seen the same occur in Anaheim. His
feelings were, therefore, mixed on the third portion of the ordinance. The
private sector workplace should have areas that protect the non-smoker but he
had ~reat reservations relative to the provi~ion~ in the ordinance a~fecting
the workplace.
Councilman Pickler stated that business and industry were given the
opportunity to come forward with their recommendations but did not do so. He
also received a letter from an employee at Kwikset and then another letter
with 42 signatures wherein it was indicated they wished they could have
expressed their views but had not been given the opportunity. A survey could
still be undertaken and the ordinance could be changed in the future.
Second-hand smoke was an infringement on the health of others and the Council
as a government entity had to take the first step.
Councilwomam Kaywood referred to a letter received from an employee of a
company who was fired because he had a complaint relative to smoking in the
187
Ctt7 Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18, 1986~ 1:05 P.M.
workplace. That company had previously told the Council there was no problem
regarding smoking and non-smoking. Such an incident pointed out that
voluntary programs were worthless.
Councilman Bay stated the reason the employee was fired was debatable. It was
his understanding it occurred because the employee used company stationary on
which to make his complaint to the Council.
Councilman Overholt felt that the smoking in the workplace section of the
ordinance was the most important part since employees had to earn a living and
they did not have a choice. Complaints might impact their employment or the
manner in which they worked. He noted that Allan Hughes, the Executive
Director of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce was present in the Chamber
audience. Councilman Overholt reiterated his remarks that if through the
Chamber that portion of the ordinance relative to smoking in the workplace was
thought to be unworkable or could be improved, he for one would welcome those
suggestions and would always be open to trying to improve the ordinance
towards the end of accomplishing what they all wanted to accomplish, to give
smokers and non-smokers the ability to work in an environment in which they
could function without being interfered with.
Councilman Bay stated that the first two portions relative to restaurants and
City facilities had been modified to where he could almost support it but
nothing had been done on the workplace portion. It was one of the most
restrictive workplace smoking ordinances ever put into effect on business and
industry in the State. To him it was a simple question of restrictive over
control by government. With no modification to the workplace, the Council
singularly picked out one section of the business industry and "laid it on"
because that industry did not choose to come in and take offense to what the
Council was doing.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing Ordinance:
Roll Call Vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood, Overholt and Pickler
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Bay
ABSTAINED: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Roth
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None
The Mayor declared Ordinance No. 4678 duly passed and adopted.
Mayor Roth stated the reason he abstained as previously explained was that he
supported three-quarters of the ordinance and although he would be in support
of some restriction in the workplace, he could not support the provisions as
stated in the ordinance Just adopted.
Councilman Bay then asked how it came to be that the last three rows of the
Council Chamber now had no smoking signs on them; City Manager Talley did not
have an answer at this time but would get that information. He pointed out
that when smoking was prohibited in the Civic Center by administrative
188
130

regulation, the Chamber was left out since it was Council's Policy as to what
they wished to do.

Chamber. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Council Members Overholt,
Bay and Roth voted no. The motion failed to carry.

Councilman Pickler moved to waive the Council Policy and approve the subject
agreement. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Roth asked if there would be any problem in
continuing the item for one week. He wanted to have more Justification before
making a decision. From the audience, the Public Utilities General Manager
stated there would be no problem if the matter was continued for one week.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to continue the subject recommendation for
one week. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
175: AMENDING RATES~ RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF
WATER: Amendment to Resolution No. 73R-255 to add Section D to Rule 15 of the
Water Rates, Rules and Regulations which provides that the cost of all
upgraded Anaheim StadiumBusiness Center (StadiumArea) water facilities shall
be paid for by the property developers requiring service from such facilities.
Councilman Roth offered the proposed resolution as recommended in memorandum
dated March 7, 1986 from the Public Utilities Board.
Before action was taken, Councilman Bay asked for clarification that the
proposal was not an additional fee over and above the $4.00 the Council
approved at its meeting of November 26, 1985.
City Manager Talley stated the previous fee did not include utility costs.
Staff did have the estimates on utility costs at the time but those were not
part of the $4.00 fee. It was noted, however, that there were going to be
substantial electrical and water costs that were going to have to be incurred.
Norm Priest, Director of Community Development and Planning, stated at the
time the decision was made, the fee included all costs staff was able to
identify.
Gordon Hoyt, Public Utilities General Manager, explained at the time the $4.12
figure was adopted by the Council (see minutes of November 26, 1985) the
Council asked him to come forward and explain the situation with regard to
utilities. At that time, he stated that relative to water facilities
approximately $9 million would be required to be paid for by developers but on
the electric side, the Utilities Department would provide the electric
utilities unless undergrounding was desired. If there was undergrounding of
existing facilities, it would cost approximately $8 million additionally.
They had now removed a couple of million from their estimate of the water
facilities by treating a well differently and not as a part of the project.
The fee presently being proposed was 80~ a square foot based on recovering $7
million from the approximate 8 3/4 million square foot building floor area.
Hayor Roth surmised then that instead of the $4.12 fee that would have to be
paid by developers, another 80~ would be added to that. He thereupon withdrew
his resolution.
194
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 18, 1986, 1:05 P.M.
Councilman Pickler then offered the resolution.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that the developers were present when the matter
was discussed and were aware of the situation; Mayor Roth stated he did not
believe the developers were aware that there was going to be an additional 80~
added to the ~.12 fee.
Councilman Overholt asked if the item was continued for one week would that
prejudice anything; Mr. Hoyt stated if there were any projects ready to
develop that were going to be looking for water facilities the Utilities
Department was not going to have the money to install those facilities.
Councilman Pickler stated at the time of the previous hearing, he thought the
need had been addressed and settled; City Manager Talley stated that was also
staff's impression but if the Mayor wanted more time he would like the Council
to give staff a directive to continue action and also not to process any
permits in the meantime.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to continue consideration of the
recommended amendment to the rates~ rules and regulations for the sale and
distribution of water for one week with the express condition that no permits
be processed in the interim.
Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
117/153: RESCINDING PREVIOUS DEPUTY CITY TREASURERAPPOINTMENTS: Councilman
Pickler moved to rescind all previous appointments and/or confirmation to
Deputy City Treasurer including those of Elwood Coulter and Oletha Meadows, as
recommended in memorandum dated February 27, 1986 from the City Treasurer,
Mary Turner. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
108: APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC DANCE PERMIT - EL TORITO RESTAURANTS, INC.:
Councilman Bay moved to approve the Public Dance Permit submitted by E1 Torito
Restaurants Inc., to hold a dance at Who-Song & Larrys, 2020 East Ball Road,
on Monday March 24, 1986 from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., in accordance with the
recommendation of the Chief of Police. Councilman Overholt seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
179: ITEMS SET FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS: City Clerk Sob/ announced for
informational purposes that Councilwoman Kaywood requested a review and public
hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2761 and Variance No. 3537 from the
Planning Commission meeting of February 19, 1986. The items were appealed
within the allowed period for appeal ending March 13, 1986.
179: SENIOR CITIZEN CONDOMINIUMS: State-Wide Developers, Inc., requesting
consideration that the development standards for Senior Citizen's Apartments
be expanded to include Senior Citizen's condominiums. This matter was
continued from the meetings of February 11, 1986, February 18, 1986 and

Engineer recommending the award of contract. This matter was continued from
the meeting of March 4, 1986, to this date in order to allow staff to provide
additional information to the Council.
Mayor Roth stated after receiving additional information, he could support the
award of contract with the understanding that the project is also necessary
from the standpoint of making the parking structure distinguishable for
theatre patrons when the theatre, nowunder construction, opens.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, briefed the Council relative to the details of
the proposed signing. He also pointed out that when the theatre was complete,
the parking structure would no longer be visible and illuminated directional
signing was a part of the contract.

114/144: S~L~CTION OF A JAIL SITE BY THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
Mayor Roth referred to the events of the past few days leading up to the
selection today by the Orange County Board of Supervisors of the Katella
Avenue/Douglass Road site in Anaheim (property owned by the County) for a new
County maximum security prison. The Council met in special session yesterday
(March 17, 1986) and as a show of deep concern at the site selection also
attended the meeting held this morning in Santa Ana where by a vote of four to
one the Anaheim site was chosen from four possible sites. He emphasized his
concern and alarm over the fact that in even minor zoning considerations, all
those affected had to be notified, public advertising done in a timely fashion
and notices posted. In this case, the City was not aware until Friday
afternoon that four sites had been chosen for consideration, two of those in
Anaheim, in locations critical to the City's ~mage and economy with final
action to be taken on the next Tuesday. If Supervisor Ralph Clark had not
contacted him (Roth) the City would not ever have had an opportunity to call
the special meeting to discuss the issue, formulate a plan of opposition and
listen to those in the community who would be most affected by the surprise
move by the Board. The manner in,hiGh the situation was handled by the Board
was not good government especially without the input of citizens and elected
officials. At least a commitment was obtained from the Board of Supervisors
today that a full-fledged EIR will commence so that Anaheim and neighboring
cities would have an opportunity to review the report and then determine their
options. He encouraged the citizens to register their position on the issue
directly with the Board of Supervisors. The Mayor also asked that a letter be
sent to Ralph Clark, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, thanking him for
the manner in which he conducted the meeting today.
Mayor Roth left the Council Chamber. (6:15 p.m.)
