Mayor Bay called the adjourned regular meeting to order at 10:00
for the purpose of a City Council/Executive Management meeting
relating to the 1982/83 Resource Allocation Plan.
106: 1982-83 RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN: Mr. Tom Tyre, Benefits and Training
Manager, opened the meeting and referred to the handout packet of material
which was arranged in the order of presentations to be made (all documentation
submitted on file in the City Clerk's office).
Assistant City Manager William T. Hopkins briefed the Council on the 1982/83
Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) process and before concluding, announced that
the RAP (Budget) would be distributed at the end of the session and one placed
on file in the City Clerk's office.
City Manager William Talley presented his 1982/83 Resource Allocation Plan
message (see pages A-1 through A-10 of the City of Anaheim Resource Allocation
Plan, 1982/83), adding that it was one of the most difficult budgets to
balance that he had ever experienced because of the lack of definitive in-
formation on either the amount or manner in which traditional funds could be
made available to the City. Three major areas of concern were the fiscal
strife of the State--unstable subventions, the possibility of a National
Football League (NFL) Players Association strike, and the volatile National
economy. Mr. Talley's budget message was supplemented by slides, which were
copies of charts submitted in the packet (see first three sheets of charts,
379
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 30, 1982~ 9:30 A.M.
entitled Fiscal Year 1982/83 Resource Allocation Plan). He briefed each of
the sheets, the first showing a 1982/83 budget total of ~315,691,890 (also,
see page A-2 in the RAP). The proposed plan was ~22,346,661 less than the
adopted 1981-82 RAP of ~338,038,551, or a decrease of 6.6 percent, the
decrease caused primarily by a decline in monies available for capital im-
provement projects. As changes occurred, they would bring those back to the
Council. He noted that the P. AP was not a static, fixed document, but a
dynamic one.
Program Development & Audit Manager Ron Rothschild gave an overview and
briefing on the 1982/83 Resource Allocation Plan Summaries, presented in a
series of slides of charts and graphs which were copies of those documents
submitted (see documentation entitled --1982/83 Proposed Resource Allocation
Plan--Summaries--pages 1 through 21).
RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for five minutes.
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present, with one vacancy. (11:17 a.m.)
Mr. Rothschild then addressed, in greater specifics, some of the capital
improvement projects as outlined in the sheet titled--Resource Allocation
Plan--Capital Improvement Program--1982/83 Proposed and 1983/84-1984/85
Projected.
The following Department Heads then gave an overview of certain aspects of
their budgets: City Engineer William Devitt specifically referred to the
submitted brochure entitled, Public Works Department, Capital Improvement
Program, FY 1982/83, and Planned Future Projects and Summary Sheet, page 1,
and Revenue Summary Sheet, page 2. A discussion memorandum dated April 27,
1982, was also submitted, recommending that the Council consider the re-
establishment of a Public Works Capital Improvement Committee to develop and
maintain a practical three- to five-year Capital Improvement Program that
would be financially feasible and acceptable to the community; Deputy City
Manager James Ruth reviewed the Parks Division Capital Improvement Program,
supplemented by slides of the various park areas that would be involved, as
well as improvements already in progress; Public Utilities General Manager
Gordon H0yt briefed the charts submitted under sheets entitled Chart A,
Anaheim Public Utilities Department, Department Expenditures--Summary by
Category (also presented in a slide format), followed by Charts L, M, N, U, W,
X, Y, Z, covering such items as the Electric Utility Capital Improvements
Projects Summary by Categories, Use of Funds, Source of Funds, Water Utility
Capital Projects, Expansion Program, Replacement Program--Expenditures and
Source of Funds; Stadium, Convention Center, Golf General Manager Thomas
Liegler submitted and briefed two summary sheets entitled--Family Foursome
Budget Summary, and Family Foursome Fiscal Year ].982/83 Capital Requests
Summary, emphasizing in the latter Requests Funded by Operating Revenues.
(Also submitted, but not briefed, was a memorandum dated April 30, 1982, from
Planning Director Ronald Thompson--Subject: Atlas-Capital Improvement Pro-
gram Exhibits--attached to which was a set of Atlas exhibits which would
assist in the Council's consideration of the proposed programs.)

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 30~ 1982~ 9:30 A.M.
Mr. Talley then set forth the following issues which were Council Policy items
to be addressed by the Council as part of their consideration of the RAP:
Mechanical Maintenance Facility--Should the City go forward with the project,
which would entail selling other properties for that purpose, and incurring a
General Fund cost of ~335,000 per year; Potential NFL Strike--What approach
would the City take to offset the potential fiscal actions of the strike;
Bookmobile--Should the program continue to be funded to service a specialized
population through the General Fund when they could be serviced with public
transportation to existing libraries. (In this regard, Councilman Roth. felt
it to be a natural for service groups to enter into such programs. He sug-
gested that City Librarian William Griffith, and the Public Information Office
set up a presentation for service groups, informing them of the need for such
service to the Hispanic and Asian community, etc.); Graffiti Removal Pro~ram--
Did the Council want to continue a full-fledged program at a cost of $119,000,
a limited program of $60,000 as proposed in Federal General Revenue Sharing,
or make the property owner responsible, using City forces or making the
property owner responsible, not using City forces; Sidewalk Repair and
Replacement--Shall the City, through some application of the Nuisance Or-
dinance, recover all or part of the costs of repairing damaged sidewalks.
(Councilman Roth recommended that instead of replacing sidewalks damaged by
roots of trees in the parkway, that the sidewalks instead be placed against
the curb and street, eliminating the parkway, and thereby eliminating 90
percent of the problems in the future. They should start looking at doing so
in the flatlands.); Use of Available Data Processin~ Resources--Several op-
tions were open--sell time at an hourly rate, run systems developed by or for
the City for other agencies, package and sell existing and future systems;
Charter Requirements Re~ardin$ Budget Submission-(Section 1202 and
1204)--there were no suggestions offered by the staff but the issue presented
to the Council for their consideration.
Mr. Talley then briefed the recommended budget hearing schedule (see sheet--
Resource Allocation Plans Schedule) with the thought that on June 29, 1982,
the RAP would be adopted with the caveats that if there were significant
changes in the State budget, or an NFL strike, the hearings would be reopened.
Comments were then received from all Council Members regarding the Budget
Overview, which they felt was an excellent and informative process.
Discussion also followed relative to the Resource Allocation Plan Schedule of
Hearings, during which Mayor Bay expressed his desire,to have some of the
hearings moved up in the schedule.
City Manager Talley then submitted the City of Anaheim Resource Allocation
Plan 1982/1983.
