106/111: DISCUSSION - ANANEIM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE: To
discuss the recommendations in the Committee Report dated June 27, 1983,
relating to the City's Resource Allocation Plan, which recommendations were
briefly discussed at the Council meeting of June 28, 1983, which was the final
public hearing on, and adoption o£, the City~ 1983-84 budget (see minutes
that date).
Mayor Roth asked if there was any staff report to be submitted by the City
Manager.
City Manager William Talley stated they had not prepared a report, but a
discussion paper and if Council wished, he could review the eight areas
recommended by the Chamber and his reaction to those recommendations as they
701
City Ha'll~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 23, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
related to the City's Resource Allocation Plan. He thereupon submitted the
discussion paper, copies of which were distributed to the Council and members
of the Chamber Blue Ribbon Committee (see Discussion Paper--Recommendations of
the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Blue Ribbon Committee relating to Resource
Allocation Plan--Prepared by City Manager's Office--August 23, 1983--on file
in the City Clerk's office).
Mr. Talley then briefed the discussion paper, which listed the eight Chamber
recommendations followed by a discussion of those recommendations by his
office.
At the conclusion of Mr. Talley's presentation, the Mayor asked to hear from
the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Mel Miller, Chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee, stated it was their
hope that the Council would continue to avail itself of input from the
Committee represented by top business leaders in the community. It had never
been their intent to do anything other than provide information and advice,
recognizing it was up to the Council to adopt none, or one or more of their
recommendations. They also hoped that the Council would permit continuing
dialogue, allow them to investigate further, and to continue working together
to show all other cities how well the Chamber and business community worked
with the Council for the benefit of the citizens of Anaheim. He then
introduced those members of his Committee who were present: Dennis Hardin
(Hardin Oldsmobile), George Kilishek (Warner-Lambert), Les Riddell (President
of the Chamber), Walt Smith, current Chairman of the Board of the Chamber, and
Jim Farley (Martin Luther Hospital). The intent was to open up for discussion
anything the Council might want to ask and he would call on members of his
committee to respond.
Mayor Roth stated they were very appreciative of the Committee's work. He
made his position clear during the Chamber's planning session in the Spring,
that being he felt it was imperative that they work together for the common
good of the community and taxpayers.
CoUncil Members Bay, Kaywood, Overholt and Pickler, respectively, then gave
their reaction, thoughts and input relative to a number of the recommendations
made by the Chamber and each concluded by expressing their support of and
continuing action with the Committee. Councilman Overholt also stated that
the response from the City Manager to the Blue Ribbon Committee Report was
indicative of the reaction of the City to the Committee's efforts. He hoped
that the Committee would seize on the points made in the discussion paper and
in due time, provide the types of things management was inviting them to
provide.
The Mayor asked if the Committee members wished to add anything further.
Mr. Miller stated he would like to once again commend Mr. Talley and his
department heads for the extreme excellent cooperation given their Committee.
He then commen~ed on some Qf the points raised by Council Members, especially
702
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 23~ 1983~ lO:O0 A.M.
with regard to their Recommendation No. 2, that the budget format be improved
and the budget process be shortened to no more than 90 days, involving fewer
people as did Mr. Kilishek and later, Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith suggested that the
budget process be looked at as a flow process study, something like a PERT
(Program Evaluation and Review Technique) chart. Other points broached were
the long-term capital needs of the City initially addressed by Councilwoman
Kaywood, and the problem of economic development in the community. Relative
to the latter, Mr. Kilishek expressed his deep concern over the lack of a
comprehensive economic development program. It was a terrible problem for the
City and it was going to worsen. He maintained the extent to which they were
going to need tax increases depended a great deal on the extent to which they
were going to be able to get more revenues out of existing tax sources and he
submitted that would only come through economic growth.
Councilman Bay noted that they currently had an Industrial Development Board,
basically to review requests for industrial development bonds, but the
structure of the former Anaheim Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) was
still in place. He felt on both sides they should be thinking of ways to
again motivate some action on industrial development and perhaps the present
Board could be expanded from the standpoint of objectives. He felt the
Council should consider whether they could set up new objectives jointly
arrived at with the Chamber and with the Industrial Development Board.
Mr. Miller stated he felt as Mr. Kilishek did relative to the neglect of
economic development growth of the City. What he felt more strongly about
today was how much the City needed the input and support of private industry
and they were ready to participate in any way. In concluding, Mr. Miller
asked if there were any recommendations the Council would like the Committee
to zero in on or was it their feeling they should consider all equally.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that relative to Item Noo 1, the North Orange
County Fire Protection System and the recommendation coming from the City
}~nager for the Chamber to encourage other Chambers to promote endorsement of
that system, especially to the two cities who had turned it down (Brea and
Fullerton), they should encourage them to at least explore the concept and not
to reject it before the concept was finalized.
Mr. Les Riddell reported with regard to the North Orange County Fire
Protection System, since Thursday, their Board had adopted the promotion of
that system as one of their objectives as well. They felt it was a very
positive step and something that needed full study, and they intended to do
that.
City Manager Talley then responded by expressing total support of everything
he heard today. If they wanted to prioritize the issues in terms of economic
benefit, enormity or timing, the one having the greatest potential benefit to
Orange County and that had to be acted upon now, or it would fail, was the
North Orange County Fire Protection System. That alone represented savings of
up to 38 million a year to the taxpayers of North Orange County, and one that
703
City Hall~ Anaheim~ Californ.ia - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 23~..1.983~ lp:00 A.M.
the private sector must become involved with. They had passed the baton on
that one to the private sector, and he would recommend that the City move into
a support mode with the Chamber as the lead.
A second issue was the economic development and while he not only totally
concurred with everything the Chamber said, it was his view that was the
essence of what the Chamber was about and the City was also in a support mode
in that regard. That was perhaps the greatest, overall benefit to the
community, but the Fire Protection System would have the most immediate
economic benefit.
The third issue that could be worked on jointly was a review of how they could
make their income streams more important and more substantial, along with
productivity increases. Everything else was more process-oriented and
something they should be working on, but if not done immediately, would not be
a life or death issue.
In concluding, Mr. Talley reiterated that in his opinion, the Fire Protection
System and the creation of a strong economic development climate in Anaheim,
and looking at how they funded things in the future and the equity of it were
all substantive issues. They would work on every one of the eight
recommendations, but on the first two, the City should be supporting the
Chamber. He would like to offer City staff as helpers on those projects, as
opposed to the City having the primary responsibility. He did not think
government should have the primary responsibilities in a number of those areas
and today he was hearing that the Chamber would agree.
Mayor Roth stated that was an excellent suggestion and was being accepted with
a nod by the Chamber. In closing, he again thanked the Blue Ribbon Committee.
