a valued City employee in the Parkway Maintenance Division. Mrs. Ramirez

Council Members.
119: INTRODUCTION AND PRESENTATION: Mr. Robert Anthony, on behalf of the
Anaheim Sister Cities Comm{ttee, introduced and presented Sheila Duffy to the
Council explaining that Miss Duffy is the recipient of the Anaheim Sister
Cities Scholarship Project Award. Mayor Roth, on behalf of the Council and
the City congratulated Miss Duffy and presented her with a replica of the big
"A". Council Members wished their best to her and on her forthcoming trip to
Mito Japan on July 10, 1986.
119: STATEMENT BY MR. HIROSHI FUJISHIGE: Mr. Hiroshi FuJishige stated that
his brother passed away om July 2, 1986. The following day, there was an
article in the,Los Angeles Times that was hard on the Council. As far as he
im concerned, the City Council has no blame for it. His brother was a sick
man. He had a stroke about three years ago. He (Hiroshi) thought he was
getting better but evidently there was some brain damage and he never really
recovered from it. He did not know what his brother's last thoughts were but
he evidently felt that his time on earth was over and he finished himself. He
believes that all the honorable Members of the Council should not feel any
guilt because of the way his brother died. He has no bad feelings toward the
Council. As far as he knows, he will still be living in Anaheim for the rest
of his life. He did not realize how sick his brother was. That is all he had
to say.
543
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8, 1986, 10:00 A.M.
Mayor Roth, on behalf of the Council, thanked Mr. FuJishige for coming today.
It takes a great person to come in on his own accord and speak as he had
done. The situation has been a burden on all their hearts particularly the
concern of the citizens that what had happened was caused by some action in
the past. Mr. FuJishige said that the cause of the loss of his brother was
due to a stroke suffered three years ago which was progressively getting worse
affecting his daily life. From the bottom of their hearts and all the
citizens he thanked Mr. FuJishige for having the courage to ask the City to
come forward to speak today. He added their condolences to Hiroshi and his
entire family and pledged strong support to him and his family.
127/129: FIREWORKS ISSUE: Councilwoman Kaywood broached the issue of
fireworks before continuing with the regular agenda, regarding the placing of
the question of fireworks on the November ballot. She knows there are many
people present concerned with fireworks on both sides of the question. As she
brought up last week, she had talked to the Central City Neighborhood Council
two weeks ago and heard of their very grave concern relative to fireworks and
not being able to vote on the issue. Last week she said she would be bringing
the matter up again.
She thereupon moved that the Council place the issue on the November Ballot,
the question as to whether or not the people want fireworks in Anaheim. In a
democracy, the people should have the right to vote on something that is so
controversial. The only way to find out who is the majority is to put it to a
vote. Councilman Bay seconded the motion.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt offered a substitute motion for the purpose of
having the Council discuss the possibility of having the City Attorney prepare
an ordinance banning fireworks and then having public hearings on that
ordinance. At the conclusion of public hearings, the Council will make a
decision as a matter of public safety as to whether fireworks are to be banned
in the City. Councilman Roth seconded the motion for the purpose of
discussion.
Mayor Roth stated he was not going to be the individual to delay a vote of the
people. That was not the intent but he had grave concerns about not giving an
opportunity to dialogue the matter prior to putting it on the ballot. He
understands that ballot measures had to be ready for the ballot by August 8,
1986.
Councilman Pickler suggested scheduling the issue on the next week's Council
agenda where it could be discussed at that time; Mayor Rothhad no objection
to a continuance.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she does not wish to delay the matter any longer.
Four or five years has been long enough.
Councilman Overholt stated, as the maker of the substitute motion, if the
substitute motion fails, he intends to support the motion on the floor. His
concern is that the fireworks issue is a public safety issue. He referred to
the disastrous fire of July 3, 1986 at the Casa De Valencia apartment house
complex where 250 people were evacuated and 90 families were still
544
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8, 1986, 10:00 A.M.
dislocated. As elected officials, they have the responsibility to deal with
issues as they come up that are issues of public safety. The problem with
putting the matter on the ballot is it then becomes a popularity contest. It
would also be on the ballot in a General Election in which the largest number
of voters will turn out. It will be a very expensive effort on the part of
the proponents and opponents to reach the electorate to try to capture their
vote pro and con. They have had a hearing process in the past. He was part
of that process having voted against banning fireworks in the City. He feels
the time has come to ban fireworks but he would like to hear from the groups
that feel the City should continue and those that feel fireworks should be
banned. He is leaning in the direction of banning fireworks in the City
because the City has now become very complex.
Councilman Pickler stated he has been a proponent of safe and sane fireworks
and he still is. He feels they keep the illegal fireworks out. He has seen
the good that has come from the sale of safe and sane fireworks by charitable
organizations. However, he cannot go along with Councilman Overholt's thought
that the Council should ban fireworks. It is not the Council's prerogative.
It has been such a difficult and emotional issue with the citizens that the
Council banning fireworks would not answer the question. Public hearings have
been held in the past and nothing was resolved. The issue has to be put to
rest. The November Election is a good time to let the people decide.
Councilman Overholt clarified that his motion is to hold public hearings and
then the Council will make the decision. His motion is not to ban fireworks.
Mayor Roth noted that there were many people in the audience who wished to
speak. Due to the fact that there was a deadline to meet to get the issue on
the ballot, time should be given for them to speak today or next Tuesday.
Councilman Overholt assumed that the ballot issue was going to be an advisory
vote; Councilwoman Kaywood emphasized that she had no intention that it be an
advisory vote. She tried that three or four times in the past and it did not
go. It should not be up to the five Members of the Council to determine what
the citizens want in this matter.
Councilman Overholt stated he was not sure he agreed with that, and would
maybe withdraw bis support. His understanding is that it would be an advisory
issue and hopefully the Council would then be directed by that advisory vote.
City Attorney Jack White stated the matter could be placed on the ballot as an
advisory measure, or as an initiative, that if approved by a majority of the
electors voting would automatically take effect as an ordinance of the City.
He believes that the Council could legally proceed with hearings to determine
whether it wishes to adopt an ordinance while at the same time putting the
matter on the ballot as an initiative measure. If the Council voted to adopt
the ordinance prior to November, then the November vote would become moot.
The issue would not automatically be removed from the ballot but action would
have been taken prior to November. It would be his intention, if so directed,
to bring back an ordinance that would contain identical wording that would go
on the ballot and be the subject of any hearings. He then confirmed for
545
City Hall, Anmheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8, 1986, 10:00 A.M.
Councilman Bay that fireworks would not be legal again in the City of Anaheim
until July 1, 1987.
Councilman Bay stated, in effect, fireworks are banned under the existing
ordinance between now and next July 1 and, therefore, creating a ban is
redundant right now because it already exists. He strongly supports and
always has, putting the question on the ballot and doing what the majority of
the people in the City want. The issue up to now has been Just getting it on
the ballot. He was very pleased to hear there were at least three votes to
put the issue on the ballot. He feels the substitute motion, which he will
speak against, is "gilding the lily" because they did not need more public
hearings on the banning of fireworks although he was not against public
hearings. They will have a decision from the people where it should have been
all along. He assumed the ballot measure would concentrate on the sale and
use of safe and sane fireworks. It will have no effect on fireworks at
Disneyland or professionally controlled and permitted fireworks shows. As
long as that is the understanding with the original motion, then he will speak
strongly for that original motion.
Councilman Pickler then moved to continue action for one week and schedule the
matter for the Council meeting of Tuesday, July 15, 1986. Councilman Roth
seconded the motion.
Before action was taken, Mayor Roth stated he did not want to be painted with
a brush that he is leading a charge not to put the question on the ballot.
There are people who have an interest on both sides and he always feels they
should have a right to speak.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked for a show of hands of those present with regard to
the fireworks issue. (There were approximately 50 people present). She added
if they were to advertise a public hearing, they would not get a greater
turnout than today. It was in all the newspapers that the issue would be
brought up today.
Councilman Overholt asked Councilman Pickler if he would be willing to amend
his motion to allow those present today to be heard and then continue the
matter to next week to allow anybody else who wished to speak to do so;
Councilman Pickler felt the best place for people to speak was at the ballot
box. ~
Councilwoman Kaywood again expressed her concern. How she felt about the
issue was not important but how the people felt is the issue. For at least
five years, she has attempted to get the matter on the ballot so the people
can vote, do they or do they not want safe and sane fireworks, yes or no. It
does not involve professionally-staged fireworks displays. She is concerned
over stalling tactics that will prevent the issue from going on the ballot
once again. She asked Councilman 0verholt if he was in support of her motion.
Councilman 0verholt answered that he would like to have the people present
today speak if they chose to do so. He also supports Councilman Pickler's
concern to give a date certain when people can speak, which is next week. He
546
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8, 1986, 10:00 A.M.
is supportive of the motion although he feels the Council is abdicating its
responsibility in going that route.
Councilman Bay stated it is his and Councilwoman Kaywood's position that they
do not know where the majority lies on the question and the voters should be
making that decision. In the recent City survey and the survey conducted in
the last election, most of the comments that he received were from people on
both sides of the question but they were in agreement on one thing, that they
would like to vote on the issue. The idea that the Council is backing away
from its decision making does not hold water in arguments with him.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked how many people were present in favor of continuing
fireworks. (A majority of those who raised their hands indicated they favored
continuing fireworks).
She was opposed to continuing the matter for another week and would be willing
to hear those who wished to speak today.
The following people then spoke on the issue:
Harry Baum, 1770 Cerritos, representing B'nai B'rith.
Through the years, they have found that selling safe and sane
fireworks has been the best form of fund-raising. The problem is not
with safe and sane fireworks, but with illegal fireworks.
Councilman Bay asked if he supports putting the issue on the ballot;
Mr. Baum answered yes.
David Zimmerman, 1423 Stella.
He supports the sale and use of safe and sane fireworks. People want
fireworks and they still want to buy them. He does not object to the
issue being placed on the ballot except that it was going to be
costly.
Edith Hesse, 730 North Lemon.
She is against fireworks and has been battling the issue for a long
time. She has volunteered when fire disasters have occurred. One
big fire such as the one that occurred last Thursday was one too
many. Those who sell fireworks as a fund-raiser can do other things
that are not at the expense of people who become homeless. It is
about time that the issue goes on the ballot.
Phil A~uilar, 320 North Anaheim Boulevard.
Most people do not handle themselves too well with fireworks. They
are used in an unwise fashion. Safe and sane fireworks are
definitely not that safe and not that sane. The question should be
put on the ballot.
Michael Nason, California Pyrotechnics Association, South Laguna,
manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers of safe and sane
fireworks.
547
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8, 1986, 10:00 A.M.
The issue at hand is that the fire in Anaheim as reported in the
newspapers was caused by illegal fireworks called "a bottle rocket".
Their 150 member organization ends up taking a great deal of
criticism and misdirected fault for fireworks fires when in the
majority of almost all instances, they find they are related to
illegal and dangerous fireworks that have been illegally imported
into California. They have found that in cities that have a safe and
sane ordinance, there is a reduction in the use and purchase of
illegal fireworks by its citizens. In areas where there is a total
prohibition of all fireworks, they have statistics that show that
there is a rise in fires and injuries due to fireworks. He confirmed
for Councilwoman Kaywood that a safe and sane sparkler thrown on a
roof is not safe or sane and it could be a problem. Any misuse is a
problem. He then answered questions posed relative to what their
organization is doing to try to control illegal fireworks coming in
from Nevada. He then stated that his organization would oppose an
initiative because of the tremendous cost to defend safe and sane
fireworks. The people of Anaheim have spoken by their purchase of
fireworks. Going to the ballot box is a waste of money. When voters
are educated properly relative to the difference between safe and
sane and illegal fireworks, they will be supportive of the issue. He
also emphasized there were less problems with safe and sane fireworks
than there were with dangerous fireworks. Where there were no safe
and sane fireworks, there is an escalation in the use of dangerous
fireworks.
Bill Ehrle, 552 Sherwood Drive.
He opposed the suggestion that an ordinance be proposed banning
fireworks. He supports people voting in the issue but only by the
right of the people to bring forth the issue by a
petition-initiative. If the opponents are truly motivated, they
should bring about an initiative rather than a referendum. Answering
Council questions, he stated his first preference would be to have
the people bring the issue about by a petition initiative. Otherwise
if the Council puts the issue on the ballot, he would support that.
Joe Ball, representing Carefree Christian School, 3456 East
Orangethorpe. He elaborated on the positive things that have come
about as a result of the funds raised through selling safe and sane
fireworks. It is a political and emotional issue. If the Council is
concerned about safety, they should talk about the real problems of
safety. He has no objection allowing people to vote on the issue.
Under no circumstances would he like to see the City Council take it
upon themselves to make that decision.
Mel Aguilar, 511 North Anaheim Boulevard.
He is speaking in behalf of the Central City Neighborhood Council.
He submitted a list containing 38 names of people from the
Neighborhood Council in support of placing the fireworks issue on the
ballot. Those people attended the June 25, 1986 meeting, the meeting
at which Councilwoman Kaywood was present and gave her views on
fireworks safety as well as other City issues. It was time for the
Council to
548
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8, 1986, 10:00 A.M.
be directed. He is in support of the issue being placed on the
ballot. The City Council should not make the final decision on the
matter and should have nothing to say after the vote of the people.
Anthony Giagnocavo, 322 North Olive Street.
Fireworks are not necessary. The Council should discuss the matter,
put it on the ballot or make a decision that there should be no
fireworks.
Kevin Cartwright, 204 South Santa Cruz.
He is in favor of safe and sane fireworks. They had nothing to do
with the fire. If there had not been inaccurate reports in the media
relative to the cause of the fire, this meeting would not have been
held today. The Council should do something about stemming the
illegal fireworks that come from Nevada and Mexico.
Cal Frtesen, 1140 Boden.
His neighborhood feels the issue should be on the ballot.
Jerry Reeves, 1879 West Cerritos.
He feels the petition-initiative process should be utilized to place
the issue on the ballot. He is concerned about spending City money
to do so. He is in favor of the ballot, but he is concerned if there
is support for a fireworks ban as strong as Councilwoman Kaywood
indicated it is, then the initiative should be put on the ballot
through the proper process and not introduced as a motion by the City
Council.
Discussion then followed relative to receiving a report from the Fire
Department. City Manager Talley explained that there was a verbal report and
he has a written report that he would prefer first to review with the City
Attorney and Council rather than publicly. Until he reviews the matter with
the City Attorney, he would hesitate to give any statements on the fire; City
Attorney Jack White concurred.
Mayor Roth referred to the motion on the floor for a continuance.
Councilman Pickler clarified his motion to continue the fireworks issue and
schedule it on'the Council agenda of Tuesday, July 15, 1986 at 1:30 p.m. to
receive additional input and take subsequent Council action. Council Members
Kaywood and Bay voted no. MOTION CARRIED.
RECESS - CLOSED SESSION; Mayor Roth announced that a Closed Session would be
held to confer with the City Attorney regarding:

Report of the City Engineer dated May 28, 1986 was submitted, recommending

Mayor Roth asked if anyone wished to address the Council; there being no
response, he closed the public hearing.

REQUEST/ZONING/LOCATION: To erect a freestanding sign on ML zoned property
located at 828 South Anaheim Boulevard, with Code waivers of maximumnumber of
freestanding signs and minimum ground clearance of freestanding sign (deleted).
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Planning Commission Resolution No. PC86-140
denied Variance No. 3564; determined to be categorically exempt from from the
requirement to prepare an EIR.
HEAI{ING SET ON:
Appealed by Lauri J. Burke, A~ent for the applicant.
PUBLIC NOTICE ttEQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin June 26, 1986.
Postin~ of property June 27, 1986.
Mailing to property owners within 300 feet - June 27, 1986.
PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated May 28, 1986.
APPLICANT'S STATEMENT IN ANSWE~ TO QUESTIONS POSED:
Lauri J. Burke, 16146 Tortola, Huntington Beach.
She represents California Self Storage and Coast Sign Display in
requesting a variance for more than one freestanding sign. It
is a new and very aesthetically attractive addition to that
section of Anaheim Boulevard paralleling the 5 Freeway. Due to
the property location and the curve of the road, the existing
freeway sign denies visibility to motorists along Anaheim
Boulevard. The existing pole sign left by a previous tenant has
been refurbished. The sign is 70 feet in the air. She
thereupon submitted a rendering of the sign. The pole sign is
not easily visible from Anaheim Boulevard, but provides freeway
visibility for which it was intended. Motorists approaching
from the north goin~ south cannot see the sign due to the
freeway overpass. Approaching from the south, the motorists
must contend with the curve in the road and a diminishing lane.
Also because of the curve in the road, the building must be set
back enough to allow entrance space for a truck possibly towing
a trailer. A wall sign would be of little or no value to
approachins traffic. ~here are many location~ in thc City which
have more than one freestanding sign. She thereupon submitted
photographs of other sign situations in Anaheim, not to
criticize but to show they were not setting a precedent by their
request. The traffic situation in the area is very confusing
and to someone unfamiliar with the area towing a truck or
trailer trying to gain entrance into the facility would be even
more difficult. The sign wilI assist with a safe entrance for
both those entering the premises and the peripheral traffic.
They feel there are special circumstances warranting the
granting of the Variance. A wall si~nwould not provide
location of the entrance. She confirmed that the proposed
monument sign is 3 feet 3 inches high providing 25 square feet
on each side.
551
City ~]1, Amaheim, C~!ifornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8~ 1986~ 10:00 A.M.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN FAVOR: John Hathaway, California Self Storage.
It is Very important to clearly identify the entrance to the
business. Because Anaheim Boulevard parallels the freeway,
traffic moves fast. People with U-Haul trucks are new in town.
It is necessary to clearly mark the entrance to prevent
accidents or problems.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION-
IN OPPOSITION:
None.
'COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Roth closed the public hearing.
COUNCIL CONCERNS:
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She agrees with Planning Commissioner Herbst and the 7-0 vote by
the Commission to deny the freestanding sign. If it is granted
in this case, everyone else will want the same thing. They have
battled long and hard in the City against one of the major
problems, the proliferation of signs. The applicant is
permitted to have a sign that says entrance and exit which can
be no more than 4 feet high and 3 square feet which is
sufficient. She could not see any reason for a Variance in this
situation.
Councilman Pickler.
He agrees. If the applicant installed Just an entrance sign, he
could be supportive. Otherwise, additional signing will not
help that area.
Councilman Bay offered Resolution No. 86R-307 for adoption, granting Variance
No. 3564, subject to Interdepartmental Committee recommendations. Refer to
ResOlution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 86R-307: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM GRANTING VARIANCE NO. 3564.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Overholt stated he was
supportive of the resolution because he feels there is a
particular and special problem at the Juncture of Anaheim
Boulevard and the Haster Street overpass. It tends to be
confusing and it is a situation where a variance should be
approved.
Mayor Roth.
He would be concerned about people missing the entrance and then
making a U-turn.
A Roll Call Vote was then taken on the foregoing Resolution:

143/106: OFF-SHORE OIL DRILLING: To consider contributing funds to the
California Outer Continental Shell (OCS) Local Government Coordination
Program. This matter was discussed by the Council at the meeting of June 17,
1986 (see minutes that date).
Submitted was report dated June 30, 1986 from the Intergovernmental Relations
Officer William Sell, recommending that the Council determine its position on
off-shore otl drilling and whether to contribute funds to the California Outer
Continental Shell (OCS) Local Government Coordination Program.
Councilman Pickler moved to allocate $2,000 from the Council Contingency Fund
as the City's contribution to the California Outer Continental Shell (OCS)
Local Government Coordination Program, ensuring local agency involvement in
off-shore drilling decisions.
Before action was taken, Councilman Bay stated he assumed the $2,000 that is
contributed to the group is partially used for political action and lobbying.
559
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8, 1986, 10:00 A.M.
William Sell, Intergovernmental Relations Officer, stated that is correct.
The groups hire a lobbyist for that purpose. The intent of the group is to
try to reinitiate a moratorium on oil drilling on the entire coast. He did
not have a list of other cities participating but until recently it involved
primarily all the northern and central counties and cities in the state.
Mayor Roth stated his philosophy is to allow off-shore drilling but he is
concerned over the fact that each of the platforms is self-contained and thus
have to generate their own power. Vast amounts of oil are used in the
operation with resultant air pollution due to the prevailing off-shore winds
especially during summer months. If it is permitted without curtailment until
technology catches up, it will cause a serious problem for the stationary
industrial sources. The South Coast Air Quality Management District has taken
a hard look at industry and to impose additional sanctions on them would be
detrimental with the possibility of loss of Jobs as well. He would rather
hold the line on off-shore oil drilling until there is technology available to
mitigate any pollution problem. He understands the need for additional
exploration and finding new sources of oil for the United States to be
self-sufficient but otherwise he is not inclined to force technology on
existing industries. He will support the motion and give it a try and ask
that the situation be monitored to determine whether or not the City should
allocate additional funds in the future.
Councilman Overholt noted that the staff report indicated there will be
monthly action memos. He would presume that the Council would be receiving
information at least every 90 days through the Intergovernmental Relations
Office.
Councilman Bay was interested in getting financial information showing how
many cities donated and how the money is spent at the end of the year; Mr.
Sell stated he can request that information.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. Councilman Bay abstained. MOTION
CARRIED.
108/149/142: ORDINANCE NO. 4725 - VENDING FROM VEHICLES: Amending Section
14.32.310 of the Code relating to vending from vehicles. This matter was
continued from meetings of June 17, 1986 and July 1, 1986, to this date.
Mr. William Sweeney, Orange County Food Service 3071 East Miraloma.
They unsuccessfully tried to determine what areas are public and what
areas are private in the industrial parks. They came to the
conclusion they are facing a "nightmare". There are perhaps 10,000
or 20,000 people who would be affected. They do not know for sure.
The estimates given last time were low by about 200 percent.
Councilwoman Kaywood had raised the problem last time relative to the
possibility that the definition used of "goods and services" was too
broad. He called the City Attorney's Office and indicated insofar as
the industrial catering industry is concerned, that definition should
probably be food, beverages and sundries because they are not
interested in getting into clothing or any of the other things which
560
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8~ 1986, 10:00 A.M.
might be suggested by merchandise. He clarified they do not know
when they are subject to enforcement and when they are not.
Larry Mishlar, 1738 North Cedar Glen.
He has been an ice-cream vendor in the City since January 5, 1961.
His livelihood is going to be taken away. The Council is concerned
about one group of vendors, and now a lot of innocent people are
going to have to pay for it. The State of California has insurance
laws and the United States Constitution gives us the Free Enterprise
System. He works in residential areas. The papers have stated that
no vending is allowed from a motor vehicle in the streets of Anaheim.
Councilman Bay clarified that was true in a business area but not in
single-family residential areas.
Jack White, City Attorney, stated that Councilman Bay was correct.
The proposed ordinance doesnot change the areas where vending from
the streets is currently permitted or prohibited. It clarifies the
State definition of business district into the ordinance. The
ordinance currently prohibits vending in business districts. The
definition of business district is any street frontage that is 300
feet or more linear length and at least 50 percent of which is
improved with either businesses or schools or churches or other
institutional type uses. It does not prohibit vending in non
business districts or residential areas. It would require vendors to
obtain permits in those areas. Multiple-family areas would be
included in the definition of businesses. Relative to the insurance
provision, it is a part of the permit process and requires an
insurance policy of $1 million.
Mr. Mishlar stated that was unreasonable. It would involve $5,000 or
$§,000 on a nickel and dime business. He has $50,000 in liability
insurance as required by the State. His insurance costs $1,300 a
year now with no claims.
Councilman Overholt first noted that the insurance provision would
impact Mr. MIshlar and his business. He asked where the $1 million
figure came from; City Attorney White stated the recommendation came
through the Community Development and Planning Department from Mr.
John Poole, Code Enforcement Supervisor. In looking at ordinances in
other cities that regulate vending trucks, it appears to be the
standard amount required in those ordinances.
John Poole, Code Enforcement Supervisor, explained when the City
enters into a contract for City services, the City requires $1
million worth of insurance. In the last few years, that has been the
standard for contractual agreements and similar things.
Councilman Bay stated he was trying to understand the logic of the $1
million coverage when $500,000 might be sufficient. Perhaps it is
the differences in the trucks. Maybe rather than $1 million per
truck, the insurance should be based on what the liabilities are
561
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 8~ 1986~ 10:00 A.M.
connected with that type of truck. There are many different kinds of
catering trucks, those that carry gases for cooking whereas on
ice-cream trucks they might not even need $500,000 worth of insurance.
City Attorney White stated this is a regulatory permit and currently
the City in other such permits have insurance requirements that range
from 325,000 up to ~1 million depending on the type of permit. He
could not say there is a standard insurance requirement for
regulatory permits currently in the City.
Councilman Bay felt there should be some reasonable lines drawn on
liability that are sufficient for what is needed but not something
that would put the small businessman out of business.
Councilman Overholt agreed and felt the Council should have some kind
of report as to the reasonableness of a flat $1 million requirement
or as an alternative some kind of a scheduled requirement consistent
with the risk involved in the different kinds of businesses.
Mayor Roth stated he questioned the situation at the time of first
reading of the ordinance. He asked to hear from the City's Risk
Manager on an estimated premium for a ~1 million insurance policy for
an ice-cream vendor.
Tom Vance, Risk Manager, explained there is no set rate for that.
The cost should be estimated based on the size of the fleet etc.
They are only talking about a "what if" situation and not Just
limited to the automobile. The problem they always fight is the
responsible party not having sufficient insurance and then looking to
the City or someone else. In southern California for automobile
exposure that is not an unreasonable level of insurance. He
understands also if that puts an unreasonable burden on someone
providing a service to the community, that is a decision the Council
needs to make. He would be happy to submit a report detailing what
he sees would be the exposure of this type of operation usually
predicated on the individual analysis of individual company's
performance records.
MOTION: Councilman Pickier moved to continue Ordinance No. 4725 and the
proposed resolution establishing permit application and appeal fees to
Tuesday, July 22, 1986 directing the Risk Manager to submit a report and
recommendation for Council consideration. Councilman Overholt seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
