MOTION CARRIED. The Mayor declared Resolution Nos. 83R-314 and 83R-297 duly
passed and adopted.
140/i81: REHABILITATION OF THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY BUILDING: Assistant City
Manager James Ruth briefed the Council on memorandum dated July 18, 1983, from
Cindy King, Assistant to the City Manager, recommending that the Council
direct staff to develop and distribute a request for proposal for
rehabilitation of the Carnegie Library Building.
Mayor Roth then explained that on July 13, 1983, he and Councilwoman Kaywood
attended a meeting of the Anaheim Historical Museum Group Board, where they
witnessed a great deal of enthusiasm for finally moving ahead on the museum
project. The proposed action today would get the project started.
Mr. Herb Leo, 2906 Bellamy, explained that they had been working on the
Carnegie Library site as a museum £or the City ~or approximately eight years.
Their organization was now in place, Anaheim Museum, Inc., enabling them to
accept funds to continue development of the library. Today they were asking
for ~35,000 from Redevelopment funds that were allocated in 1978 to complete
the engineering drawings and requirements necessary to bring the library to a
point where it could be used. He had submitted a letter signed by Teresa
Pawlowski and himself which included a list of 24 people who had committed
themselves to support the project. It was their intent to develop a VIP
committee made up of prominent citizens in Anaheim who were willing to put
their efforts into the library. They also had volunteers of labor from many
people. He was hopeful that the Council would direct Mr. Norman Priest,
Executive Director of Community Development, to advance the funds to them.
601
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Councilman Bay noted that the Agency voted for ~50,000 in Redevelopment monies
in 1978 for the project. He felt that interest on that appropriation would
have accrued that would make up for approximately ~7,300 in City costs, and he
asked for information regarding that interest.
MOTION: Councilman Bay thereupon moved to direct staff to develop and
distribute a request for proposal for rehabilitation of the Carnegie Library
Building, thereby using the remaining Redevelopment funds to secure the
necessary construction drawings (estimated cost: ~35,000) that will, in turn,
identify more specific costs for construction. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mrs. Midge Taggart, Chairman, in answer to Councilman Overholt, then reported
on the structure of the Anaheim Museum Board.
Assistant City Manager James Ruth then reported that the money appropriated
from Redevelopment funds in 1978 had never been transferred out of
Redevelopment into a special account and, therefore, no interest accrued.
Cindy King also reported, in answer to Councilman Overholt, that the
resolutions committed ~50,000 from Redevelopment funds, but did not state a
transfer of dollars.
Councilwoman Kaywood left the Council Chambers. (10:55 a.m.)
175/123: ENGINEERING SERVICES, WELLS 40 and 41: Councilman Roth moved to
authorize an agreement with Camp, Dresser and McKee, Inc., in an amount not to
exceed ~174,700, for engineering services for Well No. 40, to be located north
of the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way located east of Brookhurst
Street between Crestwood Lane and Pacific Avenue, and Well No. 41 to be
located at the northeast corner of Convention Way and West Street, as
recommended in memorandum dated July il, 1983. Councilman Pickler seconded
the motion. Councilwoman Kaywood was temporarily absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Kaywood entered the Council Chambers. (10:56 a.m.)
108: REQUEST FOR REHEARING - HUMDINGER #4: City Attorney William Hopkins
stated the item was heard previously and apparently, the full argument was not
presented by Mr. Slayton or his attorney~ due to the fact that they were
engaged in other activities in Arizona (see letter dated June 28, 1983, from
Lloyd Charton, Attorney for Ralph and Scott Slayton). They were requesting a
rehearing at this time to bring in additional information not submitted
previously. (Also see affidavit of merit in support of a request for
rehearing submitted by Scott Slayton dba The Humdinger, through Lloyd Charton.)
Mayor Roth asked if it was appropriate today to hear the matter or to set a
rehearing; City Attorney Hopkins answered that the Council could hear the
matter today, since it was not a formal public hearing.
602
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Mr. Lloyd Charton, 12862 Fairview, Attorney for Mr. Slayton and the Humdinger,
stated their request was based on input received from Anaheim staff. During
the past week, they were informed a major item of concern to the Council was
the signing advertising the bar. Mr. Slayton had been an owner of The
Humdinger bars in Orange County for 21 years and had never been denied an
entertainment license until the action taken by the Council this year. Mr.
Slayton was in Arizona at the time and he was requesting a rehearing in
approximately six weeks, which would give him time to bring the sign into
compliance. Other than that, there was a hearing set some time ago and the
Council requested a continuance in order to receive input from the Anaheim
Police Department. That input was positive and in favor of granting the
entertainment license. Throughout the years that Mr. Slayton had owned beer
bars in Orange County, there had been no significant problems with the police,
ABC nor any City department. He understood that his sign was not in
compliance, but it was there before he took over. He reiterated, he would
like to have the six weeks within which to comply and asked that they grant a
rehearing.
Councilman Rickler stated he recalled that the signing had nothing to do with
their decision; Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, agreed,
stating that was a separate Code enforcement issue.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that the permit was denied for the dancing girl;
Mr. Charton explained that he understood that the sign was not in compliance.
Further, the dancing girl had been there for years and was not topless or
bottomless and never had been. He did not understand the opposition.
Discussion then followed between the Council, City Attorney and Mr. Charton
revolving around whether or not the issue today was to set the matter for a
rehearing, as requested, or to hear the issue. During the discussion, Mr.
Charton emphasized the fact that his client was unable to be present at the
previous hearing because of the flood disaster that occurred in Arizona
affecting his property. At that time, he was represented by one of his
managers. He clarified that he was present today not to have the rehearing
take place, but to request that it be granted and set for approximately six
weeks and allow him to come in fully prepared.
Councilman Overholt stated he was going to move to grant the rehearing, but
did not want it to be considered a precedent, since the petitioner did have an
opportunity to speak but because of a problem, a representative spoke in his
stead.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to approve the request for a rehearing
submitted by Lloyd Charton, Attorney, in connection with the denial of an
Entertainment Permit Application for The Humdinger #4, 2660 West Lincoln
Avenue, at the Council meeting of May 31, 1983. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded
the motion because she did not feel they had received all the information.
MOTION CARRIED.
603
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.

Planning Commission at their meeting held June 27, 1983, pertaining to the
following applications were submitted for City Council information.

RS-A-43,000(SC) zoned property located on the west side of Richfield Road,
south of La Palma Avenue.
No action was taken by the City Council on the foregoing items; therefore, the
actions of the City Planning Commission became final.
179: REPORT FROM PLANNING DEPARTMENT RELATING TO BILLBOARD REGULATIONS:
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, referred to the four-page
report dated May 16, 1983, relative to billboards in Anaheim. At that time,
Councilman Pickler asked that they set up a meeting with representatives of
the industry, which was held on July 6, 1983. The results of that meeting
were reported in the memorandum dated July 12, 1983, which she then read
(report on file in the City Clerk's office). Staff recommended no changes be
made to the current ordinances, but if Council directs that ordinance be
prepared to allow freeway-oriented billboards, then they recommended the
annual license fee be increased on a percentage of the gross receipts. She
further clarified for Councilwoman Kaywood that the current yearly business
license fee is $iO0 for each company and not ~1OO for each billboard.
604
Cit~ Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19~ 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Mr. Lloyd Charton, 12862 Fairview, Attorney for Mr. Slayton and the Humdinger,

like to have the six weeks within which to comply and asked that they grant a

Councilman Pickler stated he recalled that the signing had nothing to do with

MOTION CARRIED.
6O5
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Sherry Bennett, Gannett Outdoor Advertising, 1731 Workman, Los Angeles, stated
that they were in agreement with Foster and Kleiser. They would go along with
staff's recommendation that the ordinance remain as it was at present. They
felt that opening up the freeways at this point would be opening up a "can of
worms." They also agreed that they would like to work with the design
criteria and with Regency's viewpoint that with a two-sided board it should
either be covered with a suitable fabric or signage should be consistent on
both sides. They did not agree with the $5,000 fee per structure. They
agreed with Councilwoman Kaywood that the present tax was low, but they would
like to see their industry given fair and consistent treatment relative to
fees, just as with every other business within Anaheim. To be singled out for
a specific fee was of concern to them. They would like to sit down and
negotiate those fees and work with staff or the Council along those lines.
Bob Mickelson, 3823 Glassell, Orange, stated he did not represent any
billboard company but a private property owner, La Palma Business Park. He
shared Mayor Roth's concern that the rules should apply to everyone, the
billboard companies and the City alike. He felt that the proposal submitted
by Mr. Reed was a good one in concept at least. He suggested a fee, either on
a gross receipts basis, or on a sliding scale based on size and location of
the boards. Relative to the design issue, he would support a new ordinance
and would be willing to donate some time to working on a committee if
appropriate.
Chris Norby, Independent Outdoor Advertising, 979 La Brea, Los Angeles,
explained that the type of sign his company dealt with was different than
other companies. They had only the 12 by 6 stainless steel trimmed sign which
was internally illuminated. Ali were mounted on a single pole and most were
only a maximum of 15 feet high. The issue of building on the freeway or not
had no bearing on them. They were not opposed if it happened. Relative to a
fee, they felt any fee should be based on revenue. Relative to having
different terms apply to the City, the least the City could do was to have
their signs identified that they were, in fact, owned by the City.
Mr, Jay Kingry, Metropolitan Outdoor Advertising, 101 East Huntington Drive,
Arcadia, stated he would support the conditional use permit procedure as each
case is considered individually. What he would like to see would be Title 4
listed as to the freeway locations and be allowed to bring in individual
CUP's, each weighed on their own merit. Relative to a license fee, a
percentage oF gross receipts was the Fairest and possibly a 2 percent maximum
would be equitable with a freeway oriented sign paying a larger percent of
gross.
Mr. Philip Quarre, Hartmann Corporation, 536 West Lincoln, stated his major
concern was the possible random proliferation of outdoor advertising
structures along the arterial highways, specifically those designated scenic
highways. To have a great number of signs on arterial highways within the
City would possibly constitute a visual blight and something that would be
unattractive for the City. Adoption of the staff recommendations would reduce
greatly the number of variances and CUP's to be processed by the Council and
the Planning Department. Basically, he urged that the Council adopt the
Planning staff report.
606
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Mr. Reed stated, to clarify a point relative to his recommendation on criteria
for size, height and spacing, what he neglected to state, he felt there should
be a policy statement, that the application for a permit would still be under
a CUP. If the requirements were met, then they could apply for a CUP.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she felt the existing ordinance was too liberal
wherein it allowed eight billboards at an arterial intersection in the City.
There were existing businesses on all those corners and it was difficult to
discern between the businesses or what was being advertised, and sometimes
where the colors were bright and vivid, they even interfered with the traffic
signals. In her opinion, the visual pollution resulting from a proliferation
of billboards led to the deterioration of the City. Further, she was in
"shock" that the only fee paid was the ~100 business license per company per
year. Even $100 per billboard would be far too small an amount, plus the fact
that there was no return to the City from a billboard as with other businesses.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to support the staff recommendation as
outlined in report dated July 12, 1983, and that there be no change to the
current ordinance.
Before action was taken, Councilman Overholt asked for clarification if the
motion was to support the staff recommendation not to change the current
ordinance and that they not investigate the possibility of a freeway sign
ordinance; Councilwoman Kaywood confirmed that was correct.
Councilman Overholt stated that he supported the motion in part; Mayor Roth
stated that there was no second to that motion.
Councilman Pickler stated he was not ready to make a decision today. 'They had
received a great deal of input, but as far as freeway signs, that was
something he wanted to look at closer. He wanted to see the ordinance
changed. Councilwoman Kaywood mentioned that eight signs on a corner was too
much. Perhaps there should only be four. It was something that staff and the
people in the business had to look at. He also wanted to look at design
criteria which he felt had to be changed and should be uniform. The license
fee was another issue and $100 was ridiculous. He reiterated that he needed
more input and work in the areas discussed before they could vote yes or no.
Councilman Overholt stated that he was not dissatisfied with the current
ordinance, but felt they should work with the industry in exploring the
freeway sign question.
Councilwoman Kaywood felt if they were to look into freeway boards, that would
be a big step backwards. In California, most cities were finding themselves
in a situation where they were grasping at things for revenue that would never
have been considered before. Revenue did not make ugly beautiful and she did
not want to see them get into that kind of a situation.
607
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Mayor Roth felt that the hearing should be continued for 30 days; Miss
Santalahti stated she would like at least two months to give adequate time to
develop the necessary data which would include contacting the State.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that another hearing on billboards was set for next
week and they had continued a number of them. She felt many could be worked
on, heard and acted upon without having any further input; Miss Santalahti
stated those were billboards that were allowable under a CUP under the current
ordinance, and not freeway-oriented billboards.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to continue the discussion of billboards in
Anaheim for 90 days. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated she first wanted to know
whether the billboard issues that were scheduled to be heard at next week's
meeting were going to be heard or continued.
Councilman Bay stated that the intent was to continue the subject for 90 daYs,
but it did not include any delay of CUP's to be considered under the existing
ordinance.
Councilman Pickler stated, however, it would not prevent anyone from asking
for a continuance.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion of continuance. MOTION CARRIED.
173: APPLICATION FOR A LIMOUSINE SERVICE PERMIT: Ronald L. Cordi, Charter
Limousine, Inc., requesting a permit to operate a limousine service at 3141
Rome Avenue (continued from the meeting of July 12, 1983--see minutes that
date).
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the application for a Limousine
Service Permit for Ronald L. Cordi, Charter Limousine, Inc., 3141 Rome Avenue,
for a period of one year with a review at that time. Councilman Bay seconded
the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Overholt asked if they should recess to
Closed Session before taking action on the motion; City Attorney Hopkins
answered it was the right of Mr. Cordi to request the Closed Session and if
Council wished to discuss the matter ~urther, it could be handled in that
manner.
Councilman Overholt stated he would prefer that they continue in Closed
Session before taking any action. He thereupon moved for a Closed Session
with Mr. Cordi present, if he wished to join them. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion. Council Members Kaywood, Bay and Roth voted "No." The
motion failed to carry.
Councilman Overholt stated he could not vote on the matter unless they
recessed into Closed Session.
608
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 198.3, 10:00 A.M.
In answer to Councilman Overhoit, the City Attorney stated that a Council
Member should be allowed to be heard in Closed Session. The applicant also
had a right to ask for a Closed Session. He felt it would be appropriate to
allow a Council Member to express his opinion.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated out of courtesy to Councilman Overholt, she would
withdraw her "No" vote.

179: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2445 AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION: Application
submitted by Margot E. Wright, to permit a bed and breakfast inn on RS-7200
zoned property located at 1327 South Hickory Street.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC83-107, declared
that the subject project be exempt from the requirement to file an
Environmental Impact Report pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act on the basis that there will be no significant
individual or cumulative adverse environmental impact due to the approval of
this negative declaration, since the Anaheim General Plan designates the
subject property for low density residential land uses commensurate with the
proposal; that no sensitive environmental impacts are involved in the
proposal; and that the Initial Study submitted by the petitioner indicates no
significant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impacts; and
further granted Conditional Use Permit No. 2445, subject to certain conditions:
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilman
Pickler at the meeting of June 21, 1983 and public hearing scheduled this date.
Assistant City Clerk Leonora Sohl announced that staff recommended a
continuance of the subject public hearing to August 9, 1983.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to continue the public hearing on Conditional Use
Permit No. 2445 and negative declaration to August 9, 1983, at 1:30 p.m., as
requested by staff. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
179: PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2142: Application submitted
by David A. Jackson, Vice President, California Castles, Inc., to amend
conditions of approval, in particular Condition No. 3, that fire sprinklers
shall be installed in all kitchen efficiency units and ail third floor units
and smoke detectors shall be installed in all units, of Conditional Use Permit
No. 2142, to permit a 73-unit motel on CL zoned property located at 800 South
Beach Boulevard, with the following Code waivers: (a) maximum structural
height, and (b) minimum landscaped setback.
A negative declaration status was previously approved for the project at the
Council meeting of February 10, 1981.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Beverly Jackson, 800 South Beach Boulevard, President of California Castles,
Inc., stated the request was to clear the record. As the Council would
recall, the entire top floor of the motel was going to consist of kitchen
units. They subsequently changed their plans, reducing the amount of those
units to seven only. Those seven units had sprinklers and smoke alarms. The
condition she wanted to have amended was the requirement that all top-floor
units have sprinklers, because now there were only seven kitchen units. She
reiterated, they presently had sprinklers in the seven units and they wanted
to delete the necessity of having sprinklers in all 24 third-floor units.
611
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
(See Mrs. Jackson's letter dated June 27, 1983--"Petition for Amendment to
Condition No. 3 of Conditional Use Permit No. 2142--Resolution 81R-53"--made a
part of the record.)
Councilwoman Kaywood referred to the minutes of the Council meeting of
February 10, 1981, Pages 202 and 203, where the matter of sprinklers on the
third floor was discussed in depth (see minutes that date). She noted the
requirement was very clear in those minutes and she read excerpts evidencing
same. At that time, her vote in support was predicated on the stipulation
that there be sprinklers in all third floor units and the unanimous vote
approving the project was on that basis.
Mrs. Jackson stated she was under the impression that the whole top floor
would be kitchen units; Councilwoman Kaywood noted it was discussed earlier
that kitchen units would be limited to 25 percent.
Mrs. Jackson stated she thought their request was that the whole top floor be
kitchen units and then all would be sprinklered; Councilwoman Kaywood
emphasized that it was clear as evidenced by the minutes and it was clarified
that a 25 percent maximum was what the City approved on kitchen units.
During further discussion and questioning by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mrs.
Jackson reported that the Fire Marshal had been out to the site, that the
builder did not realize there was a stipulation that all third floor units be
sprinklered, that they had their occupancy certificate and everything was
signed off. The only reason she was present was to clarify the situation so
that there would be no problem relative to their insurance coverage. She was
asking that the particular clause relative to sprinklers for all units on the
third floor be eliminated. Otherwise, they would have to go through the roof
and redo the whole top floor, which would be a very large job.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she had a problem with the situation, since it
would mean that anyone could promise anything and then not do it.
Mayor Roth stated if what Mrs. Jackson indicated in her letter of June 27,
1983, was true, that the final inspection was passed by the Anaheim Fire
Marshal's office on May 28, 1983, and the final building inspection was signed
on June 3, 1983, he wanted to know how they got a final inspection and how
could they reverse the final inspection; Miss Annika Santalahti, Assistant
Director for Zoning, stated that a~ of last U~dne~day, when the checked with
the Building Division, final inspection had not been made at that time.
Councilman Bay stated the question that needed to be answered related to the
fact that in the letter submitted by California Castles, it implied that there
was no inspection or requirement for the sprinklers on the documentation. He
wanted to know if that was true, if they had released the permits, what legal
position was the City in on the inspection, and where was the "hole" between
Condition No. 3 and the building inspectors and fire inspectors, if one
existed, as alleged by the letter.
612
City Hall, Anmheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19~ 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Mr. Garth Menges, Fire Marshal, explained when they checked plans at the
Building Department, they had to assume that the plans had been approved by
the department before they made any corrections or before the building was
built. As far as the fire inspectors, they normally went out and made a final
inspection to make certain the fire extinguishers, exits, etc., or whatever
was necessary according to the approved plan was done before they would sign
off the final. He had to check with his fire inspectors in the field in this
case.
Mayor Roth suggested that they trail the item until later in the meeting, in
order to receive additional information from staff.
Later in the meeting, the Mayor asked the Chief Building Inspector if it was
still a policy that before a final inspection, that the gas hookup was never
permitted.
Mr. Walter Kirkhart, Chief Building Inspector, explained that as long as the
building had been inspected, plumbing, gas and electrical inspection, and
everything proved to be safe, they had released it before final inspection.
The Mayor then asked that when a condition was added at a public hearing, such
as had occurred in this instance, was that condition made a part of the plans
and the requirements that had to be met.
Mr. Kirkhart answered that it should have been and if it was a Fire Department
requirement, they stamped all plans that were issued.
~.~yor Roth stated that if the applicant agreed to the requirement, it should
have been made a part of the original plans and subsequently, the Fire
Department would ensure it was done. He wanted to know if the plans contained
that condition.
Since the plans were not available, the matter was again trailed and later in
the meeting, Ronald Thompson, Planning Director, reported that they had
reviewed the plans and the note, while it was somewhat misleading, was on the
plans, but it appeared that it was missed in the inspection process.
Councilman Bay stated if they failed to pick up that condition on the
inspection and the construction was complete, it threw a different light on
the cost of installing sprinklers totally on the third floor, which was
germane to the Council's decision. He was glad to hear such a candid response
from the Planning Department which would make his decision simple. If,
through a fault of the inspection and documenting process, they did not
inspect and call for the sprinklers, he did not know how he could hold the
applicant to tearing the roof out to put them in at this time.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated if it were one of the normal conditions listed and
not a great deal of attention was paid to that, she would tend to agree, but
there was extensive discussion on the item. The third story was overbuilding
the property and it was on the basis of sprinkiering the entire story that she
had offered the Resolution to approve.
613
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Extensive discussion and questioning then followed between Council Members and
staff from both the Planning and Fire Departments, revolving around the
procedures followed in checking and approving plans from their submittal
through construction and final inspection.
Mr. David Jackson, Vice President, California Castles, also gave input, noting
that the approved set of plans and the set of plans on the site were one and
the same.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Overholt stated his concern was
that the building was'built to Code. But for the stipulation, it was built
the way it otherwise would have been built. If not, he would not hesitate to
have them install sprinklers.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked with regard to the ordinance, would a third story
be required to have sprinklers; Fire Marshal Menges answered no, but anything
over the third floor required sprinklers.
Councilman Overholt asked if he felt the 17 units that did not have sprinklers
on the third floor were safe; Mr. Menges answered yes.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she had a problem with the kind of coordination or
lack of it that was required in the process. She needed to know how the
error happened, some assurance that it would not happen again, and that it had
not happened in other areas.
Planning Director Thompson stated he believed the circumstances in this case
were an exception rather than the rule. They did monitor such situations and
the procedures were in place.
Councilman Bay offered Resolution No. 83R-300 for adoption, amending
Resolution No. 81R-53, eliminating the words, "...and all third floor
units..." from Condition No. 3. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 83R-300: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2142 AS SET FORTH IN RESOLUTION NO. 81R-53.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated, because of the extensive discussion that did take
place and that being the major reason for her offering the project for
approval, she was going to vote in opposition. She had every sympathy for
what had occurred, but because the stipulation was so clearly made, she felt
if people did stipulate to certain conditions and they did not hold them to
it, it became a farce.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution.

The Mayor declared Resolution No. 83R-300 duly passed and adopted.
Before concluding, Councilman Overholt asked staff to submit a short written
report of the findings in this matter, noting what, if anything, should be
done to prevent it from happening again.
108: CASA CORDOVA - TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX: T. M. Phelan, General Partner,
Village Inn Investors, Limited, appealing the Transient Occupancy Tax findings
on the Casa Cordova Apartments, 3360 West Lincoln Avenue. This matter was
continued from the meeting of July 12, 1983--see minutes that date.
The Mayor asked if the applicant was present.
Joan Sheets, 630 South Glasseil, Orange, stated she was present representing
the applicant. She was not an attorney, but had been manager and supervisor
of the subject property at 3360 West Lincoln. She had a package of material
which she thereupon submitted to the Council (see packet of materials
submitted containing copies of letters, forms, bills, and other data relative
to the subject Transient Occupancy Tax under cover letter dated July 19, 1983,
from L. Baird Albertsen, Staff Attorney, Village Inn Investors, Ltd.--on file
in the City Clerk's office). She did not know if the material contained
anything new, but she did not believe it did. The July 19th letter from the
attorney, L. Baird Albertsen, explained that she could not be present today
and therefor, she (Sheets) would attempt to state the facts. She had worked
at the desk at the subject location and felt that the auditor's interpretation
of the weekly rate after a 29-day period still included a 6 percent Transient
Tax, which they considered unjust. Guests were informed upon their
registration that it would not decrease after the 29th day, but the 6 percent
would be in effect as far as the weekly rates were concerned. She believed
there were other discrepancies found by the City. They had numerous desk
clerks on that location and she was sure there were many errors that could be
found, but not to the extent of the amount that was found by City auditors.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that the facility was originally built as a motel
and the units all had kitchenettes; Mrs. Sheets stated that the period of time
she had been there it was much more a permanent resident-type living situation
than transient. From time to time, they did have daily occupants, but as a
rule, rentals were weekly.
Mr. Ronald Rothschild, Program Development and Audit Manager, clarified the
following from Page 3 of Executive Summary of Facts, submitted from Program
Development and Audit, dated July 5, 1983: Room revenue for the first 29 days
of occupancy, tax penalty and interest totaled ~28,050.2i; Room revenue for
more than 29 days with tax collected was supported by receipt and registration
615
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
card, tax penalty and interest totaled $13,854.57; the one area Mrs. Sheets
brought up, room revenue for more than 29 days where tax collected was
supported by registration card only but not by a receipt, tax penalty and
interest totaled $32,311.01. The last area of miscellaneous room charges, tax
penalty and interest totaled $724.71, the bottom line being a total of
$60,636.45 in total taxes, interest and penalties less the amount reported to
the City per monthly payments.
Councilman Bay asked Mrs. Sheets, since she was present representing Casa
Cordova, was she in a position to negotiate a settlement; Mrs. Sheets answered
that she was not.
Councilman Roth stated he was going to move to assess a penalty in settlement
of the matter; Councilman Overholt asked the City Attorney if it was
appropriate that the Council suggest a figure that would be deemed
satisfaction in full of discrepancies in this hearing.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that Council had authority under the ordinance to
make a decision based on their findings. If there was any waiver of the
penalty, however, it would require four votes. Otherwise, the Council had
full leeway to set an amount or confirm the existing amount.
Mr. Les White, Executive Director of Administrative Services, explained that
they had not received a response from Phelan's attorney and had to assume by
that lack of response that the offer was rejected.
After further questions were posed to Mr. White and Mr. Rothschild by the
Council relative to the penalty assessment and breakdown of that figure,
Councilman Roth moved to assess Casa Cordova Motel (The Phelan Group), 3360
West Lincoln Avenue, $26,000 for %ransient Occupancy Tax due, $13,000 in
penalties and $1,000 in interest, for a total assessment of $40,000 due and
payable to the City. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
176: ABANDONMENT NO. 79-8A--EXTENSION OF TIME: Councilman Pickler moved to
approve the request of Kaufman and Broad, Inc., for an extension of time for
fulfillment of certain conditions imposed by Resolution No. 80R-lO, relating
to Abandonment No. 79-8A, property composed of certain portions along Santa
Aha Canyon Road in the vicinity of Weir Canyon Road, to expire July 19, 1984.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
175: HEARING - UTILITY BILLING: Mr. George Rodas, protesting an electric
billing for his residence at 1301 Paradise Court for the period of November
and December 1982.
Mr. George Rodas, 1302 Paradise Court, stated he hoped they could arrive at a
fair adjustment of his November and December 1982 electric bill (also see
letters from Mr. Rodas dated March 9 and June 21, 1983, submitted to the
Public Utilities Department, relative to the subject dispute and letters of
explanation and clarification from that department dated February 24 and
May 3, 1983--on file in the City Clerk's office).
616
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Mr. Rodas continued that he had no proof other than he was present to protest
the bill. He strongly felt that for an individual in a residence to have
doubled the usage of electricity was virtually impossible unless such usage
was totally unusual.
Mayor Roth stated he would have to agree, but on the other hand, he hoped that
Mr. Rodas could appreciate Council's position that unless there was proof from
him, or an indication from staff that would substantiate an adjustment, it
would otherwise be a gift of public funds to grant him one. He asked for a
summary of the situation from staff.
Mr. Ed Alario, Assistant Public Utilities General Manager, stated that they
had done everything they could do up to the point of the meter. As far as
explaining where energy or power had gone, that was something they could not
do afterwards. He then gave an overview of the steps the Utilities Department
had taken in order to resolve the disputed bill (see report dated July 12,
1983 from the Public Utilities General Manager). He reiterated that they
determined the energy went through the meter and that with the appliances
within the premises, there was the capability for the usage indicated.
Mr. Rodas stated that the electricity went through somewhere, but he did not
use it and should not be charged for it and that was his point.
After extensive discussion and questioning between Councilman Bay, Mr. Rodas
and Mr. Alario, Mr. Rodas suggested that they take an average and settle his
bill on that basis. He did not want to leave the Chambers without some
adjustment.
City Attorney Hopkins then explained for the Mayor that Mr. Rodas had
exhausted all elements of the appeal procedure and any further appeal would be
to the courts.
MOTION: Councilman Roth again stated that they were sympathetic with Mr.
Rodas, but they could not do anything for him under the circumstances. He
thereupon moved to uphold the utility billing for the disputed period of
November/December 1982. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
18i/106: INTERNATIONAL MUSIC OLYMPICS 1983: Harriet English, Chairman,
International Music Olympics, requesting consideration of City payment of
$3,150.16 for balance due for use of Anaheim Stadium and $2,596.47 cost of
medals awarded to participants of the May 5, 6 and 7, 1983 competition, for a
total of $5,746.63. Submitted was a report from the City Manager's office
dated July 11, 1983, recommending that the Council consider the request for
additional funding dated June 13, 1983, from the World Music Competition of
Anaheim.
Harriett English, Chairman, World Music Competition of Anaheim, then gave a
report on the second International Music Olympics held on May 5, 6 and 7,
1983. In concluding her presentation, Mrs. English requested the Council's
financial assistance in the amount of $5,746.63.
617
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Questions were then posed to Mrs. English relative to the attendance figures
at the event wherein she explained some of the problems involved in the use of
Glover Stadium (La Palma Park) and the fact that Anaheim had no stadium
between the size of Glover and Anaheim Stadium, which would be more suitable
for the Olympics.
Councilman Overholt stated he felt the reason for staff questions in the
report was the fact that last year Anaheim appropriated $12,813.36 for the
activity, with the understanding it would be the last time. Now the City was
again being asked to fund an additional $5,746.63 this year. He noted that
the City was not a co-sponsor of the event, but were carriers of the public
trust and they wanted to be certain those funds were being put to a use that
benefited many citizens of the community.
Mrs. English, after further elaboration, concluded that they felt bringing in
6,000 people to Anaheim for three days also brought a lot of money into the
City.
Councilman Overholt then stated, having attended the event, it was a beautiful
one and he would agree there were benefits to the City. He did feel, however,
that the City would be interested in what they were going to do to "beef-up"
the marketing program for ~the Music Olympics in the future.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to approve the request of the Chairman of
the International Music Olympics (World Music Competition of Anaheim),
appropriating ~5,746.63 from the Council Contingency Fund (~3,150.16 for
Stadium costs and ~2,596.47 for sponsorship of plaques). Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mrs. Cappy Brown stated she was going to be Music
Olympic Chairman in 1984 and she felt comfortable that they would be
successful in covering all costs in the third year.
Councilman Bay stated he would like to vote for the motion, but only under the
condition that a stipulation be made that they would not be asking for any
funding next year.
Mrs. Brown answered that she did not think in all good conscience she could
stipulate to that. She felt certain they would be standing before the Council
next year, reporting that they made money and were even giving a couple of
scholarships. She, alone, could not do that. She could speak as the
chairman, but one person could not carry the whole thing.
Before concluding, Councilwoman Kaywood asked if Glover Stadium was too small
for the event last year; Mrs. Brown stated that all bands did not stay for the
awards last year, but this year only one band left the area before the
Saturday night event. Glover was not large enough without bleachers being set
up on both sides of the field, which was not feasible during baseball season.
618
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 19, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Cindy King, Assistant to the City Manager, stated she would have to check with
Parks and Recreation to determine if there was any way to eliminate the
barricades at Glover Stadium that Mrs. English referred to in her presentation
during the baseball season, but offhand, she felt that would be difficult.
Assistant City Manager James Ruth stated he did not believe they could do
that, since it would be very expensive to take the bleachers out, because they
would have to be put right back in.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Councilman Bay voted "No."
MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Overholt stated that the Council would be interested in seeing a
scrapbook of the event.
179: RECLASSIFICATION NO. 80-81-14 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2121 -
EXTENSION OF TIME: Floyd L. Farano, requesting a one-year extension of time
to Reclassification No. 80-81-14 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2121, to
permit a 104-unit residential condominium on property located on proposed
RM-3000 zoned property located at 2170 South Harbor Boulevard. Submitted was
a report from the Zoning Division dated July 5, 1983, recommending that the
Council grant a one-year extension of time, to expire July 28, 1984.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to grant a one-year extension of time to
Reclassification No. 80-81-14 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2121, to expire
July 28, 1984. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
