Disability Retirement, Redevelopment, and Orange County Transportation
Commission Sales Tax Authorization Bill. (See data sheet submitted, one for
Federal and one for State covering the aforementioned subjects--on file in the
City Clerk's office.)
Moving to the next portion of the seminar, City Manager William Talley stated
he would now like to discuss their budget philosophy and subsequently address
Council questions on program goals and objectives. Reviews were about to
begin on the 1983-84 Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) and department managers
were informed that it was going to be very difficult to secure new programs or
new staffing unless there was clear-cut direction from the Council that those
were needed with concomitant reductions in other programs. It was his
intention this year under Jim Ruth, Assistant City Manager, to take a harder
look than ever before at current City programs, i.e., they were going to be
asking department managers to document reasons for doing business in Anaheim.
By the end of budget review, some of those programs were going to be the
subject of policy direction by the Council.
Mr. Talley continued that they had provided to the Council their plans for
1983-84 in the form of programs, goals and objectives for each department.
Any questions received from Council Members were forwarded to the appropriate
managers for response and they were available today to dialogue those. Unless
they heard to the contrary, it would be his (Talley's) intent to go forward at
the present level of goals and objectives, and those would be what the Council
would see when the 1983-84 Resource Allocation Plan was submitted
approximately June 1, 1983. That would be done with only two caveats--(1)
That management through his MBO was going to attempt to create a continuing
fund for infrastructure improvements and, (2) there would be no marked change
in either Federal or State revenue streams to the City. He was happy with
most of the goals and objectives as presented, but would go through each
program, and Council's questions would be answered as they went along.
Councilman Bay had previously submitted questions which were broached first,
followed by questions by other Council Members which were answered by Mr.
Talley and/or appropriate department heads. Some of the main topics of
discussion and questioning revolved around the Capital Expenditures Program

and setting of priorities therefor, variation of lost-time ratio, staffing of
the Police Department, Library Theft Detection Program, unsold advertising
space on Stadium boards, Paramedics called on a non-emergency nature, etc.
Due to a previous commitment he had scheduled starting at the luncheon portion
of today's meeting, Mayor Roth excused himself and turned the meeting over to
Mayor Pro Tem Bay. (12:00 noon)
Councilman Pickier stated he would have to leave the meeting at this time as
well, due to a commitment.
Councilman Overholt excused himself, since he also had to leave. (12:01 p.m.)
ADJOURNMENT: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to adjourn. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion. Councilmen Overholt and Roth were absent. MOTION
CARRIED. (12:01 p.m.)
