123: ANAHEIM HILTON CONVENTION HOTEL, LEASE AGREEMENT, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
AND GRANT OF EASEMENT WITH C-D III: City Manager William Talley briefed the
Council on portions of his memorandum dated July 6, 1982, recommending the
approval of the Lease Agreement, Development Agreement, and Grant of Easement
with C-D III, a limited partnership composed of Lazben Anaheim Company and
6O5
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Overland Plumbing, Inc., for the development of a 1600-room Convention Hotel
on City-owned land adjacent to the Anaheim Convention Center, and authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute these documents, together with a Grant of
Easement contained therein, on behalf of the City. (The five-page memorandum
is on file in the City Clerk's office, including a five-page attachment, a
final matrix summary delineating the provisions of the two agreements between
the City and C-D III.)
Mr. Bruce Geib, 9911 West Pico, Suite BS1, Los Angeles, Counsel for C-D
Investment Company and C-D III, the general partnership developing the Anaheim
Hilton project in cooperation with the Hilton Hotels Corporation, first
introduced those members of the team who would be assisting in the
presentation: Mr. Doug Holm, Director of Acquisition, C-D; James Philon,
Senior Vice President of Hilton Hotels Corporation, Real Estate and
Development; Bill Racold, Director of Construction; A1 Coler, one of the
principals of C-D, expected to be present shortly.
Mr. Gelb stated it was a momentous occasion for all on the development team to
appear before the Council to ask for approval of the lease and development
agreement of a 1600-room Convention Hotel project, representing the
culmination of all documents necessary to begin construction of the project.
Today represented the beginning of a productive working relationship with the
City and the Community Center Authority (CCA). Last night they appeared
before the CCA and obtained their approval. They were looking forward to
working with both entities and City staff to make Anaheim the foremost
Convention Center capital of the United States.
Mr. Doug Holm, C-D, 9911 West Pico, Los Angeles, first gave the historical
background of their company, explaining that C-D investment would be the
construction manager for the building and development of the project, and C-D
III being the partnership established as the owner of the hotel and hotel
parking structure, both California partnerships located at 9911 West Pico, Los
Angeles. Mr. Holm then briefed the Council on some of the major projects C-D
had built, concentrating on those large projects already built or in the
process of being built in the Los Angeles area. (Mr. Holm's presentation was
supplemented by slides showing the projects to which he had previously
referred.)
Mr. Holm then described the parking structure that would be built--a
replacement parking structure of 1,520 spaces, being built at no cost to the
C~ty, and a Hotel parking structure with 3,266 spaces, totaling 4,786
additional spaces to accommodate all replacement parking for the existing
parking lot, hotel needs, and overflow parking from Convention Center use.
Subject to the Council's approval today, their working drawings for the
replacement parking had been turned into the Building Division for approval,
and it was anticipated that they would be able to pull their foundation and
excavation permit tomorrow. They were scheduled to move onto the project next
Monday and to start actual excavation and earth moving on July 21, with a
ground breaking ceremony scheduled for July 23. They were depending on
606
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
closing escrow Friday (July 16, 1982) on the Inn At The Park, which they had
purchased from Wrather Corporation, and expected all legal matters to be
cleared up by that day as well, in relation to the lawsuit that had been
filed. With the exception of unusual delays, the replacement parking
structure would be made available, in total, to the Convention Center by
December 1, 1982.
Arrangements had been made to start construction of the hotel immediately
following September 22, 1982, and they were anticipating an October 1, 1982,
start date of the hotel proper. Their Director of Construction had assured
them that the hotel would be completed and operational by July 1 of 1984, in
order to take advantage of the Olympics that would follow in August. Before
concluding his presentation, Mr. Holm also showed slides of the hotel building
site, where the replacement parking structure was going to be located, a site
plan looking down on the hotel, site elevations of the parking structure,
etc. He then introduced Mr. Philon.
Mr. James Philon, Senior Vice President of Hilton Hotels Corporation, Real
Estate and Development, 9880 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, stated his
role today was to brief the current plans for the hotel, which plans had been
developed in cooperation with C-D Investment and Hilton Hotels Corporation,
consistent with all of the criteria established at the time of the agreement
for exclusive negotiations was reached in October of 1981. The current plans
called for a 12-story hotel structure comprising 1,300,000 gross square feet
of floor area, including 1,600 guest rooms, approximately 21,000 square feet
of rental space, over 40,000 square feet of coffee shop, restaurant and bar
space, 1,800 square feet of individual meeting room space, and 57,000 square
feet of ballroom and multi-function space, equally divided on the same level
into 28,500 square feet of ballroom and meeting facility areas. The structure
had been designed compatible with their commitment that they would minimize
the overall impact of the amount of construction, and the building would have
a warm, blue-green glass facade.
Mr. Philon's extensive presentation, which was supplemented by slides,
provided a graphic description of the proposed hotel, the parking structures,
the orientation of the project on the property, traffic circulation, etc. He
highlighted those principal areas of concern to the traveling public and
concentrated his presentation on what he termed, the excitement center of the
hotel, the lobby area with its many amenities, as well as those levels dealing
with the convention and ballroom facilities.
Mr. Philon then thanked the Council and staff, particularly City Manager
William Taliey, Jim Armstrong, Assistant to the City Manager, and Pam Lucado,
Associate Planner, as well as his associates, A1 Coler and Naftali Deutsch
(the capital "C" and capital "D" of C-D Investments). Further, on behalf of
607
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Hilton, they were encouraged that C-D had the foresight and wherewithal to
acquire the Inn At The Park, which acquisition would benefit not only the City
and the CCA, but also C-D and Hilton Hotels, the citizens, and the City of
Anaheim. In concluding, he stated that they were ready, willing and able to
bring to the City of Anaheim one of the finest convention and meeting hotel
facilities in the country. As of last Friday, Hilton Hotels opened the 225th
hotel under the Hilton name, exceeding 80,000 hotel rooms operating under the
Hilton name. They were earnest in soliciting Council approval.
Mr. A1 Coler stated it had been a gratifying experience working with the City
staff over the many months, and he thanked them for their unusual cooperation
and competency in overcoming the many obstacles with which they were faced.
They looked forward to the hotel's opening in the early summer of 1984.
Mayor Roth asked the Chairman of the CCA to come forward.
Mr. Bob Hostetter, Chairman of the CCA, also introduced Mr. Bill Currier, Vice
President of the CCA. He then reported that last evening the Authority
unanimously approved the lease agreement and development agreement for the C-D
development. C-D was composed of a very sophisticated group of individuals
with an excellent background in construction. They were about 90 percent
complete on the Betterment II program and the traffic plan would be impacted
only on their parking area for approximately one month.
Mayor Roth, on behalf of the Council, thanked Mr. Hostetter and the CCA for
all the time and effort they spent on the project. He continued that this was
an historical moment as they planned to move ahead on the 1600-room hotel,
where Anaheim would be the showcase of not only Orange County, but also the
country. He thanked C-D, Hilton, the City Manager and staff, particularly Tom
Liegler and his staff, and that of the City Attorney's office. Another
consideration relative to the project was the fact that when they broke
ground, the project would provide a tremendous amount of job opportunities for
Orange County citizens and thus, it was important to the economy of the area.
City Manager Talley recommended that Jack White, Assistant City Attorney, who
had worked on the documentation relative to the project, introduce and brief
the agreements before the Council for their consideration.
Mr. Jack White, Assistant City Attorney, explained that the Council previously
certified the Environmental Impact Report for the project, and previously
approwd th~ Conditional Usa P~rmit and Varianc~ from the of£-str~et parking
requirements for the project. Within the next few weeks, they hoped to bring
back to the Council the financing documents .pertaining to the financing for
the two parking structures. Before the Council today were three separate
documents which they had received, together with certain minor modifications
to one of the documents, which they received this morning--the first was the
Lease Agreement between the City and C-D III, which had the effect of leasing
the "footprint" of the land on which the hotel and parking facilities would be
6O8
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
constructed; the second was the Development Agreement between the same
parties, relating to the actual construction of the hotel and parking
facilities themselves; the third, a Grant of Easement, Exhibit "B" to the
Lease Agreement, granting construction easements for the construction of the
hotel and also, circulation or access easements for the vehicles to circulate
around the property to get to the parking structure.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the Lease Agreement between the
City of Anaheim and C-D III and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute such an agreement on behalf of the City. Councilman Overholt seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to approve the Development Agreement between the
City of Anaheim and C-D III and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute such an agreement on behalf of the City. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded the motion. MOTION CARP~ED.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to approve a Grant of Easement (Exhibit B of
the Lease Agreement) between the City of Anaheim and C-D III and authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute such an easement on behalf of the City.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
The Council again thanked all those involved with bringing the project to
fruition; Councilman Overholt added, Mr. Bill Snyder of the Visitor and
Convention Bureau, who worked as a team with Mr. Liegler, Mr. Ben Schroeder
and Larry Henderson, who, although they were no longer on the CCA, played a
large role in the efforts that were put forth on the project, as well as the
Anaheim Union High School District, who worked hand-in-hand with the City in
the Community Center operation.
RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for ten minutes. (3:15 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (3:32 p.m.)
129: HEARING - BAN ON FIREWORKS: To discuss setting forth an advisory
proposal concerning the sale, use and discharge of "safe and sane" fireworks
in the City in connection with the 4th of July, to be voted upon at the
General Election to be held November 2, 1982. Submitted was a report from the
Fire Chief, Bob Simpson, dated July 9, 1982, recommending that the Council
pass an ordinance banning fireworks, both legal and ille§al, in the City of
Anaheim.
Mayor Roth first explained how the hearing would be conducted and then asked
first to hear from staff.
Councilman Overholt noted that a letter request was received asking for a
night hearing on the subject. He asked if anyone was present who would like a
night hearing.
609
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
From the audience there was a reply that they were asking for a continuance if
there was going to be a hearing at all.
By a show of hands, it was determined that there were approximately 20 people
present on the subject issue; Mayor Roth stated ~t would be appropriate to
take testimony today and prior to taking any action, subsequently conduct a
night hearing, if the Council so desired.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt suggested that the Council consider a night
hearing before taking any testimony at ail today. He thereupon moved to
continue the hearing to Tuesday, August 3, 1982, in a facility large enough to
accommodate the crowd anticipated.
Before any action was taken, City Clerk Linda Roberts confirmed that August 3,
1982, would be the last meeting at which the Council could decide on ballot
measures that might be included on the November General Election ballot, and
that necessary documentation would have to be at the County by August 6, 1982.
Councilman Roth seconded the foregoing motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood expressed her concern that the
recommendation sounded like a stalling tactic. The matter had been discussed
since last year, and a hearing promised in order to put the question on the
ballot. With 20 people or more in attendance today to speak to the item, she
felt it would be unfair not to hold the hearing. She was not in favor of a
continuance.
Councilman Pickler suggested that the maker postpone his motion. If they were
going to hear the testimony, there might be no need for a continuance, and
they could possibly make a decision today.
Council discussion followed wherein Councilman Bay spoke against the motion
and Councilwoman Kaywood reiterated her concerns relative to a continuance;
Councilman Pickler suggested that they table the motion on the floor until
after the discussion today and if appropriate, consider it at the conclusion
of the hearing.
Councilman Pickier thereupon moved that the motion on the floor be tabled
until after discussion of the subject and at that time, make a decision on
whether or not the hearing would be continued to a later date. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Overholt voted "no." MOTION CARRIED.
Fire Chief Bob Simpson briefed the Council on his report of July 9, 1982,
recommending that the Council pass an ordinance banning both legal and illegal
fireworks in the City (on file in the City Clerk's office). They had always
recommended against fireworks, but what "turned their heads" were the
signatures gathered by Dawn Johnson of over 7,000 registered Anaheim voters.
In concluding, he stated they were recommending two things, if the Council did
not see fit to ban fireworks in their entirety, that the matter be placed on
the ballot in November. He then confirmed for the Mayor that SB 999
(Campbell) was still waiting in the Senate for enough votes to get it passed.
That bill would preempt local control relative to the sale of fireworks.
610
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
The following people then spoke in favor of placing the issue of whether or
not the sale, use and discharge of safe and sane fireworks should be
prohibited in the City of Anaheim, other than public display, for which a
permit is obtained, and elaborated upon their reasons why they were in
support: Dawn Johnson, 616 North Olive, Apartment C; Dale Smith, 501 East
Orangethorpe; Mike Cleveland, 2882 West Rome; Edith Hasse, 730 North Lemon;
David Viii, 2242 Ramona; Randall Marsh, 628 South Trident; Richard Curtiss,
419 East Sycamore.
The following people spoke in opposition to placing the issue on the ballot,
giving their major objections for so doing: Harry Baum, 2508 Woodland; Cal
Queryal, 1012 West Park Avenue; Pat Moriarty, Red Devil Fireworks Company,
2349 West La Palma; A1 Hole, Fire and Safety Consultant, Red Devil and Wildcat
Fireworks.
During Mr. Moriarty's presentation, he indicated there were 60 charitable
organizations who were interested in the issue, but who did not know about the
hearing today, and they would be interested in a night hearing, so that they
would be able to attend; Councilman Bay stated he was against an August 3
date, but asked Mr. Moriarty if the Council considered a night hearing on
July 27, would that be acceptable. Mr. Moriarty was agreeable.
Councilman Pickler removed his motion from the table. Councilman Overholt
thereupon amended his motion to continue the hearing to Tuesday evening,
July 27, 1982, at 7:30 p.m., at the Brookhurst Community Center; Councilman
Roth seconded the amended motion. MOTION CARRIED.
104: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - STREET LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 1981-6: To consider objections to the improvements of proposed Street
Lighting Assessment District No. 1981-6 on Rome Avenue, Gaymont Street, DeVoy
Drive, Elmlawn Drive, Calico Circle, Birchleaf Drive and Lynrose Drive in
Tract Nos. 2228 and 2705 (continued from the meeting of June 8, 1982--see
minutes that date).
Mr. Bob Herr, Civil Engineering Assistant, reported that an additional letter
was sent to the property owners in the proposed Street Lighting Assessment
District dated June 10, 1982, advising them of the continuation of the public
hearing. He reiterated that 61 percent of those who signed the petition
favored the formation of the District.
Mayor Roth asked to hear from anyone present in opposition to the proposed
District.
Mr. Lloyd Gleason, 2917 West DeVoy, stated that he was opposed, but if lights
were installed, the wiring should be underground in order to avoid the
unattractivness that was evident farther north in the tract.
Mr. Bill Layton, City Electrical Engineer, then explained for Mr. Gleason how
the lights would be installed. The only overhead installation would be on an
easement in the back of approximately three or four lots, and the balance
would all be underground.
611
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
There were no further persons who wished to speak in opposition.
Mr. Warren E. Clark stated that he had documents to present in support of the
proposed Street Lighting Assessment District, which were requested at the
previous meeting; the Mayor stated it would not now be necessary to submit the
data.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 82R-367 for adoption, declaring no
majority protest to Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1981-6. Refer to
Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 82R-367: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM DECLARING THAT THERE WAS NOT A MAJORITY PROTEST AGAINST STREET

waiver of the requirement of the Hillside Grading Ordinance relating to
location of lot lines at the top of slopes within Tract No. li786, property
located on the northwest side of Anaheim Hills Road, south of Nohl Ranch Road.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. Cal Queryel, Anacal Engineering, stated that the requested waiver was
technical in nature and that the same owner was involved throughout the
development.
The Mayor asked to hear from those present, either in favor or in opposition;
there being no response, he closed the public hearing.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kayw0od moved to approve the requested waiver of the
requirement of the Hillside Grading Ordinance relating to location of lot
lines at the top of slopes within Tract No. 11786, property located on the
northwest side of Anaheim Hills Road, south of Nohl Ranch Road, as recommended
in memorandum dated June 7, 1982, from the City Engineer. Councilman Bay
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 3268 (READVERTISED) AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
Application by John Priem, to construct a 20-unit apartment complex on RM-1200
zoned property located at 3701 West Mungall Drive, with the following Code
waivers: (a) maximum structural height, (b) minimum landscaped setback, (c)
minimum structural setback, and (d) required screening of parking facilities.
612
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC82-106, declared
that the subject project will have 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
medium-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 is, therefore, exempt from
the requirement to prepare an EIR, and further, granted Variance No. 3268, in
part, subject to the following conditions:
1. That street lighting facilities along Mungall Drive shall be installed as
required by the Office of the Utilities General Manager in accordance with
specifications on file in the Office of Utilities General Manager; and that
security in the form of a bond, certificate of deposit, letter of credit, or
cash, in an amount and form satisfactory to the City of Anaheim, shall be
posted with the City to guarantee the satisfactory completion of the
above-mentioned improvements. Said security shall be posted with the City
prior to approval of building permits. The above-required improvements shall
be installed prior to occupancy.
2. That trash storage areas shall be provided in accordance with approved
plans on file with the Office of the Executive Director of Public Works.
3. That fire hydrants shall be installed and charged as required and
determined to be necessary by the Chief of the Fire Department prior to
commencement of structural framing.
4. That subject property shall be served by underground utilities.
5. That drainage of subject property shall be disposed of in a manner
satisfactory to the City Engineer.
6. That the owner of subject property shall pay to the City of Anaheim the
appropriate park and recreation in-lieu fees as determined to be appropriate
by the City Council, said fees to be paid at the time the building permit is
issued.
7. That the owner(s) of subject property shall pay the traffic signal
assessment ~ee (Ordinance No. 3896) in an amount as determined by the City
Council, for each new dwelling unit prior to the issuance of a building permit.
8. That a 6-foot high masonry wall shall be constructed along the north and
west property lines.
9. That security gates shall not be permitted without expressed approval of
the City Traffic Engineer.
613
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
10. That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with
plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim marked Revision No.
1 of Exhibit Nos. 1 through 3.
Ii. That Condition Nos. 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 10, above-mentioned, shall be
complied with prior to final building and zoning inspections.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by the applicant, and
public hearing scheduled this date.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. John Priem, 832 South Knott, explained that he was asking for a variance
to construct a 20-unit apartment house and the Planning Commission approved
the project except for the setback of 2 1/2 feet where two parking spaces
encroached into the green area (15 feet required from a local street; 12 feet,
6 inches to 15 feet proposed). There were a number of cases in the area where
similar setbacks had been approved. Mr. Priem thereupon submitted photographs
depicting variances that were allowed (made a part of the record).
The Council then posed questions to Mr. Priem relative to his request for
purposes of clarification. He also explained for Councilwoman Kaywood that if
he were to change two of the two-bedroom units to one-bedroom units, thus
eliminating the need for the requested waiver, since the parking requirement
would be lowered, it would cause a major change in their plans; from the
audience, a gentleman (believed to be the architect on the project) stated it
would change the plans completely and negate the whole concept of the units.
Councilman Overholt asked if they were still talking about 2 1/2 feet or two
car lengths, one at each end; Mr. Priem answered, "yes," one at the very end
of the alley and the other at the west end, off the driveway, both well
screened and landscaped.
The Mayor asked to hear from anyone who wished to speak, either in favor or in
opposition.
Mr. H. Warren, Administrative Board Chairman of St. Mark's Church, adjacent to
the subject property, stated that they sold the property to Mr. Priem. They
were in favor of the development, not only because they had sold the property
to Mr. Prlem, but also because of the need for housing.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Bay, seconded by Councilman Overholt, the City Council finds that subject
project will have no significant individual or cumulative adverse
environmental impact since the Anaheim General Plan designates the subject
614
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
property for medium-density residential land uses commensurate with the

108: HEARING - AMUSEMENT ARCADE APPLICATION NO. 82-18, 2001 ODYSSEY ARCADE:
To consider an appeal filed by Perry Sheidayi of the decision of the Planning
Director denying an Amusement Arcade Application for 2001 Odyssey Arcade, 634
South Brookhurst Street, for 48 amusement devices (continued from the meeting
of June 8, 1982).
Mr. Perry Sheidayi, 5929 Clark Avenue, Lakewood, first submitted a petition
signed by seven tenants in the Albertson-Brookhurst shopping center, as well
as the owner and manager, indicating that they would welcome a supervised
family arcade in the 634 South Brookhurst space, and a letter dated June 25,
1982, from Jesse Davis, former Mayor of Buena Park, recommending
Mr. Sheidayi's arcade operation in Anaheim, since their experience with his
amusement business in Buena Park had been favorable. He then elaborated on
the reasons why he felt the Planning Director's denial of the application
should be reversed. The closest school to the center was approximately one
mile away. The business operation they intended to establish was a family
game arcade consisting of some electronic games and two billiard tables, to be
supervised by two adults at all times during business operations. At the
present time, they were operating the same type of business at 8575 Knott
Avenue in Buena Park. Several people were present to speak in favor,
including Mr. Ralph Neilson, Shopping Center Manager, who was initially
opposed. He and Mr. Neilson talked to several of the tenants and neighbors
and most expressed that they did not care if a game arcade was established or
not. The petition just submitted contained signatures of some of the people
who had already signed in opposition and were now signing in favor.
The Mayor asked to hear from those in support of the amusement arcade.
615
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
The following people spoke in favor of approving the Amusement Arcade
Application: Mr. Ralph Neilson, Shopping Center Manager. He also confirmed
for Councilwoman Kaywood that there were 13 tenants in the center, and the
petition in favor was signed by seven of those tenants; Gary Peterson, 400
South Archer. He and his wife owned the flower store next to Mr. Sheidayi's
arcade in Buena Park. They had experienced no problems with the operation
being next door and it was run very professionally; Mr. Marvin Simon, 6792
Eucalyptus Drive. His printing business in Santa Ana was located next door to
an arcade and there were no problems. Youngsters should be able to enjoy what
an arcade had to offer.
The following people then spoke in opposition to the Amusement Arcade
Application: Mr. Frank Nathan, President, F-R Financial Corporation, located
next door to the proposed arcade, stated that they submitted petitions signed
by members of the community living around the shopping center, and those
people renting within the shopping center. The area did not need another
arcade, since two were presently in close proximity. The arcades had been a
source of disruption, drugs, noise and disorderly conduct; Dallas Kraemer, 626
South Brookhurst, tenant in the center, stated they were concerned about
litter, drug abuse, kids using their lunch money to play the games, petty
theft and shoplifting; Bob Baker, store manager, Albertsons, stated they were
suffering substantial losses every quarter due to shoplifting and pilferage.
They did not feel an arcade would be beneficial to the center, and members of
the center he had spoken with felt the same way; Mrs. John France, 631 South
Archer, directly behind the proposed arcade, stated she was a member of the
PTA at Clara Barton School and the entire PTA Board was in opposition. Of the
21 home owners who were approached to sign the petition, 18 signed in
opposition.
Mr. Sheidayi then spoke in rebuttal of some of the objections raised.
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Planning Director--Zoning, then clarified for the
Council that originally 38 occupants within 300 feet were notified, and 28
signed in opposition. Mr. Sheidayi had now submitted an additional seven
signatures and of that seven, only one who had signed the original petition in
opposition had changed his mind.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to deny Amusement Arcade Application No. 82-18,
2001 Odyssey Arcade, finding and determining that pursuant to the Anaheim
Municipal Code No. 3.24.045 that approval of the Arcade Permit would be
contrary to the public interest, health, safety, morals or general welfare.
Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

STREET: Councilman Bay moved to approve the Release of Claims between the
City, the City of Yorba Linda, Woodcrest Development, Inc., and Mark III
Homes, Inc., in connection with storm drain damage at Mark Lane and Northfield
Street (Tract Nos. 10141, 10140, 10139, 10314, 9989, 10470, and 10130), as
recommended in memorandum dated July 7, 1982, from the City Attorney's
office. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
617
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
106: BOOKMOBILE PROGRAM - 1982-83 RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN FUNDING
DISCUSSION: City Manager Talley briefed the Council on memorandum dated
July 6, 1982, from Program Development & Audit, recommending that the Council
determine its policy concerning the continuation of the Bookmobile Program for
Fiscal Year 1982-83. The total annual cost of the program was estimated at
~71,065, including personnel and other operating expenses; however, if the
program were only continued through September 15, 1982, and permanently
discontinued at that time, it was estimated that the bookmobile would cost
$25,699 for the 1982-83 fiscal year. As requested by the Council, the cost
estimate for only extended summer service for five months would be
approximately $37,589. He also pointed out that the Library Director did not
concur in any of the service level reductions or changes as proposed in the
memorandum.
Mr. William Griffith, City Librarian, stated that the Bookmobile Program
should stand on its own merits, and he did not think it was wise to reduce
other aspects of the Library functions to sustain the program.
Mayor Roth stated, after reviewing the options contained in the staff report,
he would recommend support of continuing the Bookmobile Program for the
extended summer service of five months and subsequently, to evaluate the
program again at that time.
MOTION: After Council discussion relative to the Bookmobile Program,
Councilman Roth moved that the Bookmobile Program be funded for a five-month
period at ~37,589 from the Council Contingency Fund, and the program to again
be analyzed at that time, December 1, 1982. Councilman Overholt seconded the
motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood again broached the subject of
obtaining more volunteer help for the main Library and branches, an area that
was very successful in the Parks and Recreation Department; Mr. Griffith
explained the present status of the volunteer program in the Library
Department.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Roth suggested that staff and the Library Board consider the possibility
of looking to outside private sources for supplemental revenue to fund such
programs as the Bookmobile and perhaps, it would be an appropriate project for
service groups, such as the Kiwanis. He recommended that they formulate a
presentation to present to such groups.
132/145: PROPOSED GATE FEES AT ORANGE COUNTY TRANSFER STATIONS AND
LANDFILLS: City Manager Tailey briefed the Council on memorandum dated
July 9, 1982, relative to the subject fees, which would have the effect on
Anaheim of raising rates for solid waste collection in residential categories
approximately 40 percent, and commercial and industrial accounts from 27 to
over 100 percent. (Also, see memorandum dated July 9, 1982, from the Street
618
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Maintenance Superintendent, reviewing the cost impact of the imposition of
gate fees.) Mr. Talley emphasized that County staff recommended that the
report submitted by the County's consultant entitled, "Solid Waste Management
System for the County of Orange" be ignored, and that the County imposed,
virtually without hearing or notice, a $7 per ton fee to all people, agencies
and private contractors other than cities using County landfills. Because
City staff had only two working days to analyze and respond to the proposal,
the cities of Orange County collectively went to the Board of Supervisors and
asked that the Board not act on their staff's recommendations today for
several reasons--first, because there was no notice to the cities; secondly,
there was no provision for City participation in the organization of how the
rates were going to be charged or the agency that would oversee that function;
and thirdly, the inability of many cities to pass the rates immediately on to
their citizenry. Some cities would have to collect through taxation.
However, after the meeting today, the Board of Supervisors unanimously moved
to endorse the staff recommendation, even though all the testimony presented,
except by County staff, was in opposition, with rate increases to go into
effect October 1, 1982. Those fees, based upon Council policies, would be
passed on to the citizens and businesses of Anaheim without their being able
to say one word in opposition.
Mayor Roth stated he was at today's meeting at the County, pleading for the
Board not to adopt the fee schedule, but to give an opportunity for cities to
give their input; however, the pleas fell on deaf ears.
The Council, by general consent, after expressing their strong dissatisfaction
and concern over the action of the Board, directed that a letter be sent under
the Mayor's signature to Supervisor Ralph Clark, Anaheim's representative,
with a copy to each Supervisor, expressing vehement opposition and disdain to
their action, with a letter also to be sent to the Orange County League of
Cities, indicating Anaheim's willingness to join with other Orange County
Cities to prevent recurrence of such action by the Board.
114: PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF COUNCIL POLICY NO. 701 - DAMAGED SIDEWALK
REPAIRS: Mayor Roth referred to staff report dated June 25, 1982, from John
Roche, Facility Maintenance Superintendent (on file in the City Clerk's
office), containing recommended Alternatives 1 and 2, as proposed by staff,
should Council Policy No. 701 be amended. He stated he was not supportive of
either alternative~ the first~ wherein the property owner would share 50
percent of repair costs for damaged sidewalks from parkway trees~ and the
second, wherein the property owner would be responsible for 100 percent of the
cost. At present, parkway trees causing sidewalk damage were removed at no
cost to the property owner.
Mr. John Roche, Facility Maintenance Superintendent, then briefed the Council
on the City's current practice and further answered questions posed relative
to a revision of the Policy, emphasizing that staff was looking for direction
from the Council as to what that Policy might be.
619
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
At the conclusion of Council discussion and suggestions for possible
alternatives, Jim Armstrong, Assistant to the City Manager, suggested that the
matter be continued for two weeks, at which time staff would submit another
alternative coinciding with Council direction as a result of the discussion
today.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved to continue consideration of a proposed
amendment of Council Policy No. 701 for two weeks. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
123/154: ANAHEIM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (AEDC) - TERMINATION OF
AGREEMENT: Councilman Overholt moved to terminate the contract the City had
with the Anaheim Economic Development Corporation under Resolution No. 79R-170
dated March 27, 1979, and approve the waiver of the 180-day waiting period to
terminate, as requested in letter dated June 22, 1982, from the Law Offices of
Floyd L. Farano, legal counsel for the AEDC. Councilman Roth seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
107/179: RIVIERA MOBILEHOME PARK - REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO PROCEED WITH
ZONING AND CONVERSION APPLICATION: Floyd L. Farano, Attorney at Law,
requesting permission to proceed with zoning and conversion applications for
the property known as the Riviera Mobilehome Park, 300 West Katella Avenue,
prior to completion of the Mobilehome Park Task Force study.
Mr. Floyd Farano, 2555 East Chapman, Fullerton, representing Riviera
Mobilehome Park, briefed the Council on his letter request of June 14, 1982
(on file in the City Clerk's office). He also submitted a tentative schedule
for adoption of the Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone ordinance which they had
received, and which was as a result of the Task Force deliberations. He
estimated it would take anywhere from 120 days to nine months before the
overlay zone, if acted upon, would become effective. As a representative of
the Riviera Mobilehome Park, they were not in complete agreement with the
ordinance, as he had expressed to the proposers. The reasons they wanted to
proceed at this time were many. They were not in disagreement with the
ordinance because it gave too much, because he felt the general plan they were
about to divulge could possibly exceed what the mobilehome ordinance would
give. He then elaborated upon the reasons why he felt they should be allowed
to proceed, the most important being at this time after months of work and
be£ore the Task ~orce came ~nto being (see minutes o£ March 9, 1982), ~t was a
concept they began working on which they felt was now available to them, but
might not be available on a perpetual and continuing basis.
Mr. Farano then briefed the Council on their tentative plans, specifically
with regard to the 87 coaches in the park considered as move-outs. They were
16 years of age or older and thus, would not be acceptable in another park.
They would arrange for the acquisition of a new 12' by 56' coach, place it in
a park within a radius specified in the ordinance or outside that radius, and
place skirtings and awnings on it. That package would cost approximately
$15,000 on the market. The resident's part would be to purchase the coach
under financing arrangements that they would undertake to make, do all the
620
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
paperwork, and payments would not exceed $150 per month for five years and
then the coach would be theirs (the resident's). They were underwriting the
purchase of a new coach for the tenant and the tenant could dispose of the old
coach in any manner he wished. The remainder of the tenants would also be
compensated by a plan which would follow the spirit of the ordinance. He did
not want the Council to believe they were going to follow the ordinance, but
the spirit relative to compensation other than the 87 coaches. What they were
trying to do might be better than what the ordinance would provide.
In answer to Councilman Pickler, Mr. Farano stated that he did not feel that
the "moratorium" was proper or legal, and subject to challenge. In his
opinion, if someone wanted to file an application and have the City refuse
that right, there would be good grounds for an argument.
City Attorney Hopkins clarified that there was no formal moratorium, but
merely an expression by the Council, which Mr. Farano expressed as a "stay."
If someone demanded that an application be processed, it would be difficult to
take the position that they could not do so.
The Mayor asked to hear from those who wished to speak to the issue. The
following people spoke in opposition to the request of Riviera Mobilehome
Park: Vincent Jantz, Attorney, 2700 North Main, Santa Aha; Carl Shorey, 300
West Katella, Space 51 (spokesman for Riviera Mobilehome Park); Dale Smith,
501 East Orangethorpe, Rancho La Paz Mobilehome Park; and John Daley, Director
of Golden State Mobilehome League of Orange County.
Mr. Jantz emphasized his concern that the entire procedure was premature,
since the Task Force had spent a great deal of time surveying the complex
situation and an unfortunate precedent would be set should Riviera be allowed
to proceed. The ordinance under consideration should first be presented so
that the Council would be aware of its contents before deciding whether or not
a particular park should be closed. He represented the tenants of Orangewood
Acres Mobilehome Park and should Riviera be granted an exception, the owners
of Orangewood Acres would undoubtedly try to do likewise.
Extensive discussion and questioning followed between Council Members and
staff, especially with regard to the meeting held March 9, 1982, at the
Brookhurst Community Center, where the Mobilehome Task Force was formed and
assigned the task of considering zoning for mobilehome parks and related
issues (see minutes that date). At the time, the consensus of the Council was
to take no action and await the outcome of the Task Force proceedings.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to deny the request to lift the
"moratorium." Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before action was taken, Mayor Roth stated he was in complete agreement with
the Council in their consensus that no action be taken, but not that the owner
be denied the opportunity to proceed. If the motion was to reaffirm taking no
action on mobilehome park conversions, that would be one thing, but to deny
the right of the owner to process his paperwork through the Planning
Commission was another.
621
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
City Attorney Hopkins explained at this point, unless Council Policy were
changed, the applicant could file, but the Planning Department would not
process the application until the Council changed its position.
Mr. Farano stipulated that he was not going to proceed.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt offered an amended motion that they deny the
request to lift the "moratorium" with respect to Riviera Mobilehome Park.
Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
108: HEARING - AMUSEMENT ARCADE APPLICATION NO. 82-19, ANAHEIM BOWL: To
consider an appeal filed by Terry J. Brutocao, Anaheim Bowl, and Thomas
Greaney, Fairchild Amusement, Inc., of the decision of the Planning Director
denying an Amusement Arcade Application for Anaheim Bowl, 1925 West Lincoln
Avenue, for 15 amusement devices (continued from the meeting of June 15, 1982,
see minutes that date).
Mr. Terry Brutocao, Anaheim Bowl, stated that after the meeting of June 15,
1982, he was able to contact all but three property owners who had filed
written objections within the 300-foot radius and, in addition, received
written approvals from five other addresses, those being people who did not
sign the petition in Opposition previously filed with the City. Everyone he
had spoken with was under the impression that some change was being sought.
When he explained that it was simply a matter of complying with a new
ordinance relative to arcades, and their's had already been in existence, 100
percent of those he spoke with saw no reason to object. He presented the
petition to the City Clerk on Friday morning, which included a letter and
three attachments.
Miss Santalahti confirmed that after checking the signatures, there were at
least 51 percent in support of the application.
The Mayor asked to hear from those present, either in favor or in opposition;
there was no response.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve an Amusement Arcade Application
for Anaheim Bowl, 1925 West Lincoln Avenue, for 15 amusement devices.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
123: DATA PROCESSING CONTRACT PROGRAMMING SERVICES, GENERAL SYSTEMS EFFORT,
JULY 1, 1982 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1983: (1) Authorizing an agreement with John
Cappelletti Associates in an amount not to exceed ~330,000 for data processing
contracting services for the City's General Systems Effort, commencing July 1,
1982, and ending June 30, 1983; and (2) authorizing an agreement with DPCS in
an amount not to exceed ~50,000 for data processing contracting services for
the City's General Systems Effort, commencing July 1, 1982, and ending June
30, 1983 (both continued from the meeting of July 6, 1982, see minutes that
date).
622
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
City Clerk Linda Roberts announced that a letter'had been received from
Computer-Tek, dated July 1, 1982, advising that they were withdrawing their
proposal bid on the subject effort.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to authorize an agreement with John
Cappelletti Associates in an amount not to exceed $330,000 for data processing
contracting services for the City's General Systems Effort, commencing July 1,
1982, and ending June 30, 1983, as recommended in memorandum dated June 29,
1982, from the Data Processing Director. Councilman Pickler seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to authorize an agreement with DPCS in an
amount not to exceed $50,000 for data processing contracting services for the
City's General Systems Effort, commencing July 1, 1982, and ending June 30,
1983. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
It was then confirmed upon questioning by Councilman Bay that both agreements
combined were not to exceed $330,000, as explained by the City Manager at the
meeting of June 29, 1982.
Mayor Roth emphasized that in the future there be consistency in the bidding
process, so that the procedure would be impeccable; Councilman Bay stated that
when people came in to question bids in the future, the Council wanted to be
certain they were in a strong position to substantiate and defend the process.
173: PLAZA TRANSPORTATION COMPANY: Monica E. Keppel, requesting to add
Vacationland Campground, 1343 South West Street, and Howard Johnsons, 1380
South Harbor Boulevard, and to drop the Conestoga Motor Inn, 1240 South Walnut
Avenue, from their present jitney service permit; and further, requesting
approval of the transfer of ownership. Submitted was a report from the City
Attorney dated July 2, 1982, recommending approval of the request, provided
that the applicant complied with the four provisions listed therein.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to approve the subject request. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay expressed his concern relative to the
second provision listed in the City Attorney's report, that the bond issued to
the Plaza Transportation Company would no longer be valid. To his knowledge
on jitn~yg, thara wa~ no raqu~r~m~nt for a bond.
Monica Keppel, 1142 Lotus, explained that Plaza Transportation currently did
not have a bond, since it was not required originally.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that the present ordinance required a bond and,
therefore, they would have to research the matter. If there was some reason
why Plaza Transportation should not have a bond, he would render his opinion.
623
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Miss Keppel noted that she had insurance in the amount of ~500,000 and
questioned if that was not the same as a bond; Mr. Hopkins answered, "no".
The Anaheim Municipal Code required both insurance and a bond for faithful
performance.
MOTION: Councilman Bay thereupon amended the foregoing motion to continue
consideration of the subject request for one week, to give an opportunity for
the City Attorney to research the matter further. Councilman Pickler seconded
the motion. Councilman Overholt voted "no." MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Overholt voted "no", because he felt they could approve the request
with the technicality to be worked out between the applicant and the City
Attorney.
181: PATRONS OF THE ARTS, FULLERTON COLLEGE, APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF
TRUSTEES: Councilman Bay nominated Vicki Thompson to fill the vacancy on the
Board of Trustees.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to appoint Vicki Thompson as the City's
representative on the Board of Trustees for the Patrons of the Arts, Fullerton
College, filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Jane Wolfe, as
requested in a letter dated June 28, 1982, from Ted Spriggs, Jr., Associate
Dean for Community Relations of Fullerton College. Councilman Overholt
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
176: ABANDONMENT NO. 79-8A - EXTENSION OF TIME: Councilman Overholt moved to
approve the request of Kaufman and Broad, Inc., for an extension of time for
fulfillment of certain conditions imposed by Resolution No. 8OR-10, relating
to Abandonment No. 79-8A, property composed of certain portions along Santa
Ana Canyon Road in the vicinity of Weir Canyon Road, to expire July 1, 1983,
as recommended in memorandum dated July 6, 1982, from the City Engineer.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
123: LLOYD HAMROL AND ANAHEIM ARTS COUNCIL: Evelyn Foucher, President,
requesting a 60-day extension of time to a provision in the contract with
Lloyd Hamrol to present a model for the Civic Center sculpture was submitted,
together with a report from the Deputy City Manager, dated July 6, 1982,
recommending that the agreement be amended to allow the requested extension of
time.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the request for a 60-day
extension of time to a provision in the subject contract. Councilman Roth
seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay stated he did not see any reason given
for the requested extension.
Evelyn Foucher, 514 North Clementine, stated that they underestimated the time
it would take for the Arts Council to meet with the sculptor, and that the
sculptor also had several other assignments which did not allow him to proceed
with the work immediately. He had presented today one of his models that may
be one of the final ones. They felt they would need those 60 additional days.
624
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 13, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Councilman Bay voted "no."
MOTION CARRIED.
127: PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS AND MEASURES FOR THE NOVEMBER 2, 1982,
GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT: Continued from the meetings of June 29 and July 6,
1982--see minutes those dates.
MOTION--PUBLIC UTILITIES MEASURES: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to direct Bond
Counsel to prepare final ballot wording for approval on the four proposed
Utility Charter Amendments as listed on pages two and three of memorandum
dated June 30, 1982, from the Public Utilities General Manager, to be placed
on the November 2, 1982, General Election ballot: (1) Authority to issue
Revenue Anticipation Notes (RANS); (2) authority to issue Bond Anticipation
Notes (BANS); (3) elimination of 8 percent maximum interest rate from Electric
Revenue Bonds approved in 1975 and (4) elimination of 8 percent maximum
interest rates from Water Revenue Bonds approved in 1978. Councilman Overholt
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION--CHANGE OF GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION DATE: Councilwoman Kaywood
referred to the proposed ballot wording relative to the change of Election
date, noting that it contained only one choice, changing the date to November
of each even numbered year. She thought they agreed to giving more than one
choice and felt that the people should have an opportunity to indicate if they
wanted to go back to an April election date as well.
During Council discussion on the issue, Council Members Overholt, Pickler and
Roth indicated their preference for placing only the November date on the
ballot and subsequently, Councilman Bay agreed.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to direct the City Attorney to prepare final
ballot wording for approval, amending the City Charter to change the date of
the General Municipal Elections to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November of each even numbered year, with November being the only choice.
MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION--REDUCTION OF TIME FRAME FOR BUDGET SUBMISSION TO THE CITY COUNCIL:

in the future, the appointment of a Charter Review Committee and subsequently,

142/183: PROPOSED ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BOARD:
Councilman Bay offered Ordinance No. 4349 for first reading, add Section
1.04.995 to the Anaheim Municipal Code, establishing an Industrial Development
Board.
ORDINANCE NO. 4349: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ADDING SECTION
1.04.995 TO CHAPTER 1.04 OF TITLE 1 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENTS.
Councilman Overholt asked that by the next meeting, that staff provide a
report on the estimate of cost of servicing the proposed ordinance. He also
added that he was not entirely sold on the proposed ordinance as written and
posed questions which were answered by Councilman Bay, who also elaborated on
the intent of the formation of the subject board.
Councilman Overholt again expressed his concern over creating another board.
114: DISCUSSION OF LIAISON ASSIGNMENTS: Councilman Bay suggested that they
adjourn to a workshop session, if necessary, that would be open to the public
in order to act on liaison assignments which, in his opinion, could not wait
any longer, since some situations were becoming urgent.
Mayor Roth stated he had voted against the concept when it was suggested and
since, had not participated. He felt there was too much steering and decision
making, and he had not changed his philosophy. However, because he was a
dedicated "team" player, he would be willing to dialogue the matter and
suggested adjourning to an earlier meeting time next week to do so.
By general consent, the Council agreed to meet at 10:30 a.m. on July 20, 1982,
in order to discuss liaison assignments.
Before closing, Mayor Roth also suggested that the Council consider a change
in the starting time of Council meetings, that is, to start the Council
meetings at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday in order to consider staff items, with public
hearings to be held at 1:30 p.m. He was looking for a way to avoid meetings
extending late into the night.
