114: DISCUSSION OF LIAISON COMMITTEE CONCEPT - LIAISON COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENTS: Mayor Roth first asked to hear from the Council relative to
whether or not they favored a continuation of the Liaison Committee concept,
guidelines for which were established on April 18, 1978, as proposed by the
then Mayor Seymour (see minutes that date). In his (Roth's) opinion, there
were a number of problems with such a concept and he was not in favor at that
time and voted "no" when Mayor Seymour's team approach was brought to a vote
(see minutes of May 2, 1978). However, if the majority of the Council favored
the Liaison concept at this time, he would give his full cooperation.
Councilman Bay favored the Liaison Committee concept, emphasizing decisions
were not made in Liaison meetings, and the intent was not for one or two
members of the Council to make major decisions. They should set their
guidelines tightly, particularly on the point that it was not a
decision-making function, but a communication and advisory function. It was
also important that Council Members serving on the committee report back to
Council in brief summary form relative to what had transpired.
Councilwoman Kaywood felt the Liaison idea was a good one. They were all busy
and if there was a Council Member more in tune on a particular subject, it
would make it that much faster to be able to act and react when it was time
for decision making, but with no decisions taking place at a Liaison Committee
meeting.
Councilman Overholt stated he was supportive of the concept which was
instrumental in bringing the Rams to Anaheim. In essence, the Liaison
Committee obtained information from the "grass roots" operation to bring to
the Council, otherwise it would be necessary to have a formal meeting every
time anything happened. It was important not to diminish the communication
capability between the various groups, staff, lay groups and the Council.
Councilman Pickler was in favor of continuing the Liaison concept with
communications being the important factor. He felt that certain areas would
require more than one Council Member, but in most instances, one might
suffice. He favored the idea of reporting back to the Council at a Council
meeting, either in writing or verbally.
Mayor Roth stated that the direction in favor was clear cut, and since he was
a team player, he too would support the concept.

City Hall, Anaheim California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 10:30 A.M.
Ensuing Council discussion revolved around the setting of guidelines wherein
Councilman Bay suggested that if they were going to go on with the Liaison
concept and improve it and pursue it, that they should take the objectives
stated in the April 27, 1978, memorandum to the City Council from Mayor
Seymour as forming a written Council Policy, including the requirement for a
one-page report from the senior staff member present at such a meeting, as
established at a prior Council meeting. Also included should be the fact that
when there was a decision to hold a Liaison meeting that it be on the calendar
in the City Clerk's office, so that everybody would know when such a meeting
was going to be held. Those issues should be tied down, and he felt the
easiest way to do so would be to incorporate them in a written Council Policy,
which could be easily changed by three votes, should it be deemed necessary.
Mayor Roth's major concern was that there be some type of reporting to the
other Members of the Council. They should direct the City Clerk to prepare a
draft of a Council Policy to consider, and if they wanted to modify it after
it was prepared, they could do so next week. He also commented on the time
frame for serving on a particular Liaison assignment wherein after a year or
two, or at the time of Council reorganization, they could look at the
possibility of making changes so that each Council person could gain some
expertise about each of the areas; Councilman Overholt's view was that the
Liaison structure should be continually reviewed.
Liaison Committee assignments were then discussed and determined to be as
follows:
Anaheim Stadium, Tenants & Contiguous Area

later was relative to the requests made during the budget period on capital
projects, that is, the priorities for capital projects that staff asked for,
something to be set up for help in establishing priorities and looking at
capital expenditures and infrastructure maintenance and new infrastructure
over the coming years. They would eventually have to come back to that
subject.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
106: DETERMINATION OF PRIORITIES RELATIVE TO THE FUNDS RESERVED BY THE
COUNCIL IN THE 1982-83 RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN (RAP): City Manager William
Talley briefed the Council on memorandum dated July 13, 1982, from Ron
Rothschild, Program Development & Audit Manager, recommending that the Council
determine its priorities relative to the $924,996 reserved within the City
Council program for future allocations. Attached to the memorandum was a
listing of 22 priorities totalling $1,673,751 as follows: (1) Mandated fire
protection equipment - personal alert devices and personal safety shelters,
$13,913; (2) Traffic signal at Chantilly and La Palma, ~72,800; (3) Traffic
signal at Kellogg and Glenview, $78,600; (4) Broadway/Lincoln storm drain
supplement, $170,000; (5) Reconstruction of alleys in west City area,
~200,000; (6) Pearson Park Theatre restrooms and concessionaires building,
~75,000; (7) Lemon Street storm drain - Anaheim/Commercial, ~250,000; (8) Ball
Road storm drain - State College/Sunkist, $250,000; (9) Lincoln Avenue
widening - south side, east of State College, $100,000; (10) Police
communications equipment, $31,762; (11) Police/Fire audio visual equipment,
~35,169; (12) Police mobile command post, ~10,000; (13) Fire offices
remodeling and equipment, ~33,544; (14) Convention Center rental meeting rooms
equipment and furniture, $48,200; (15) Convention Center new Clarin chairs,
$16,675; (16) Convention Center refurbishment of existing Clarin chairs,

addition, $150,000; (20) Improvements to and equipment for community centers
programs, $20,000; (21) City Attorney legal publications, $1,000; and (22)
Finance equipment and services, ~21,338. Priority No. 2 and No. 3 had
previously been allocated by the Council on June 29, 1982. Today, they were
looking for a dialogue on what the Council would like to instruct staff to
do. The Council had set aside $640,000 as a National Football League (NFL)
strike contingency on the basis that no more than three games would not be
played. With that in mind, they had approximately $300,000 more they could
allocate. If they were likely to spend the money on public improvement
projects, this was an extremely favorable bidding climate, and they could have
plans and specifications ready for solicitation of bids as soon as. possible
upon Council decision.
Council Members then expressed their preferences relative to the priorities
they favored. During the course of discussion, Councilman Bay reiterated that
they should retain the $640,000 and not prioritize or allocate it unless
allocated an a salf-insuranc~ fund. He wanted to see that be the beginning of
an insurance fund, or whatever it might be termed, in order to avoid dealing
with unknown impacts year after year. It could cover potential strikes in
baseball or football, or any other serious impact that would occur to those
enterprises, with interest to be added to the amount.
At the conclusion of extensive discussion between Council Members, and
questions posed to staff, Councilman Bay moved to delay the prioritizing for
allocating the $640,000 until staff had an opportunity to report to the
Council how the money would be handled, or to use it to build an insurance
fund. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
640

agreement shall be approved by the City Attorney's Office.
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilwoman
Kaywood at the meeting of June 22, 1982, and public hearing scheduled this
date.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. Henry Wesseln, 9382 Thistle, described his project consisting of 16 luxury
units. He emphasized that they had worked closely with the Planning
Department in formulating their plans.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked Miss Santalahti, Assistant Planning
Director--Zoning, why 16 units were approved, rather than 12, the maximum
allowed.
Miss Santaiahti explained that the owner agreed to enter into an agreement
with the City to provide for low-moderate cost units, and that was the basis
of the Planning Department's approval.
Councilwoman Kaywood was concerned that the people living next door for 30
years were now going to have a two-story structure and an eight-foot wall next
to them. She did ~ot believe it was fair. The density bonus was 33 percent,
when 25 percent was required on affordable. She did not know when the Council
had ever approved apartments being built so close to single family-residences.
Mr. Wesseln then explained for Councilwoman Kaywood that although the
two-story units were eight feet from a single-family residence to the north,
that was from the property line. That single-family lot was 150 feet by 290
feet, and the house was in the middle of the lot.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak, either in favor or in opposition.
Curtis Wesseln, son, stated there was one question brought up under Item 12
with regard to the reclassification under shared access (see PC82-104,
Condition No. 12) where a letter had previously been received from the other
gentleman who owned the property, stating he did not want shared access
relative to the additional driveway to the south.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
644
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.

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; that the Initial Study
submitted by the petitioner indicates no significant individual or cumulative
adverse environmental impacts; and is, therefore, exempt from the requirement

A review of the Planning Commission's decision was requested by Councilwoman
Kaywood at the meeting of June 22, 1982, and public hearing scheduled this
date.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. Stan Sakamoto, KSLW Architects, 3833 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach,
indicated he was present to answer any questions.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked Mr. Sakamoto to further elaborate on the parking
spaces, the lack of which was of concern to her.
647
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Sakamoto explained that they were using a pre-cast system, allowing for
very quick erection time, since the main components were already in place.
They would then add spaces when the Council determined their parking was not
adequate for the hotel.
Councilman Pickler stated that in his review, it was not adequate at present,
and he would have to be convinced that it was. He was very much concerned
that there would be a lack of parking, especially in that area.
Traffic Engineer Paul Singer stated there was an acute shortage of parking in
the subject area, and it was going to get progressively worse; however, they
also did not want to run into the problem of too much parking. The Planning
Commission's reasoning was to provide for the waiver of 25 percent with the
stipulation that should the City find, by an observation study, that they were
short, the developer or owner would pay for a parking study to be conducted by
the City. Based on the results, they would be required to add one or two more
levels to the parking structure, as necessary, or place additional funds into
a district parking facility on which they had started discussions. It might
be an advantage not to overbuild parking at this time.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she had set the matter for public hearing, but in
the interim, she was called by Emerald of Anaheim Hotel and they talked at
great length. They discussed parking, the storm drain facility which the
developer would be providing, hooking up to the existing drain, and the rooms
were to be sprinklered. Those were her concerns. Relative to the parking,
she felt in this instance where there might be an overlap of uses they would
not need the amount of parking required, although she was concerned with the
25 percent waiver, because she did not want it to set a precedent. However,
many people did not come in their own vehicles, and just being assured that
they used pre-cast parking spaces which would allow more levels to be
constructed quickly, she no longer had a problem.
Councilman Pickler still had some concern relative to parking; Miss Santalahti
suggested that perhaps a bond could be posted for a period of two years to
begin after the whole complex was in operation, which would give the City an
appropriate time to determine if the specific combination of uses was causing
a problem. If no problem after two years, they could release the bond.
The Mayor asked if anyone alga wished to speak, either in favor or in
opposition; there being no response, he closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 243 - CERTIFICATION: Environmental Impact
Report No. 243, having been reviewed by the City staff and recommended by the
City Planning Commission to be in compliance with City and State Guidelines
and the State of California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council,
acting upon such information and belief, does hereby certify on motion by
Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Bay, that Environmental Impact
Report No. 243 is in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
and City and State Guidelines; and that potential environmental impacts can be
reduced to an insignificant level by conformance with City plans, policies,
and ordinances. MOTION CARRIED.
648
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 82R-385 for adoption. Refer to
Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 82R-385: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2324.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Pickler stated that the project was a fine
one and he had no problems except the concern over parking. If a bond were
posted and added as a stipulation, he would feel more comfortable.
Councilwoman Kaywood made that a condition of approval in offering her
resolution.
Councilman Bay questioned how they could add bonding without a known amount;
City Attorney Hopkins suggested that the bonding be set at the.discretion of
the City Engineer as to an amount.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution, including the stipulation
that a bond be posted set at the discretion of the City Engineer to guarantee
construction of additional parking if needed; said bond to remain in effect
for two years after the hotel was in operation.

173: PLAZA TRANSPORTATION COMPANY: Request of Monica Keppel to add and to
delete certain stops from their permit was submitted (continued from the
meeting of July 13, 1982--see minutes that date).
City Attorney Hopkins reported that he personally checked the file and found
that there was an insurance policy certificate that met the requirements of
the ordinance, which provided for a bond or insurance. They had no problem
with the requested changes (see report dated July 15, 1982, from the City
Attorney).
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the request of Monica Keppel to add
Vacationland Campground, 1343 South West Street, and Howard Johnson's, 1380
South Harbor Boulevard, to, and to drop the Conestoga Motor Inn, 1240 South
Walnut Avenue, from, their present jitney service permit; and further, to
approve the transfer of ownership, as recommended in memorandum dated July 15,
1982, from the City Attorney. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
649
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, i982, 1:30 P.M.
173: PROPOSED SANTIAGO CANYON REGIONAL AIRPORT SITE: Mayor Roth stated that
relative to the subject, the Orange County Blue Ribbon Committee formed to
study the issue had recommended a regional airport very close to Anaheim
Hills, and the Board of Supervisors was not in support of that site. He
recommended that the Council, by resolution, express their strong opposition
to the Santiago Canyon Regional Airport proposal. As well, staff was going to
have to monitor the airport proposals and keep Council advised.
Councilman Bay stated that a resolution of opposition would put the Council on
record as being against the Blue Ribbon Committee selection at this time,
implying that they would be in favor of the SCAG position. He had not yet
read either report and although he was not saying he would not eventually
support the resolution in opposition, he was merely not ready to do so at this
time, since he had not heard the views on both sides of the studies.
Councilman Pickler stated he had not seen the SCAG report and did not believe
he was in favor of the Blue Ribbon Committee selection report. He was
interested in delaying the matter for a week in order to obtain and read a
copy of the reports.
Mayor Roth emphasized that he wanted it very clear that today and forever
more, he was opposed to an airport in Anaheim Hills. The County Board of
Supervisors took strong action, voting 5-0 in opposition. It was important
that the Council not drag their feet.
Councilman Overholt suggested that the resolution be offered, simply stating
that the Council was opposed to a regional airport in Santiago Canyon.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 82R-386 for adoption, opposing a
regional airport in Santiago Canyon. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. $2R-386: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM AFFIRMING ITS OPPOSITION TO THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
114: PROPOSED CHANGE OF STARTING TIME OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS: Mayor Roth
again broached the subject of changing the starting time of Council meetings
to Tuesday mornings at 10:00, with the Redevelopment and Housing Authority
meetings to start at 9:30. At 10:00 a.m. they could consider all City
Manager/Departmental staff items, move into closed session if necessary, break
for lunch, and reconvene at 1:30 to consider any public hearings. He felt
such a change would be fai~ and equitable, since at present, it was unfair to
have constituents waiting in the Chambers audience until 11:00 p.m. or 12:00
midnight to hear their items, as well as being unfair to staff, the press and
Council. He had asked the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance reflecting
the proposed change, and copies were available for Council perusal. He
emphasized that immediate attention was necessary.
Councilman Overholt asked if the Mayor would defer the first reading of the
ordinance until next week; Mayor Roth stated that he would prefer not to, but
if the majority so desired it, he would do so.
Councilman Bay recommended that they trail the item to later in the meeting to
be considered under ordinances for introduction.
Later in the meeting, Mayor Roth again broached the subject proposed change;
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she saw a great danger of expanding the length of
meetings and filling them with insignificant items. Further, the issue of
night hearings was not addressed, which they honored in the past. If they
started at 9:30 a.m. and found themselves in a night meeting at 7:00 p.m., it
would be worse and not better.
Councilman Overholt urged the Mayor to postpone first reading of the ordinance
until next week, since he still had not read it.
Councilman Bay was in support of the ordinance and of its being offered today;
Councilman Pickler stated he would go along with adopting the or.dinance and,
further, an ordinance could always be changed. As he understood, when the
ordinance was offered for final adoption in one week, they could still decide
at that time whether or not they were in favor or opposed.
Councilman Roth offered the ordinance for first reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 4352: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING SUBSECTION

CODE RELATING TO PROCEDURES. (Council meetings to be held each Tuesday at
10:00 a.m.)
181(OC): ORANGE COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION: An appointment of a
representative to serve on the planning committee for the Seventh Annual State
Historic Preservation Conference scheduled for the Spring of 1983, in Orange
County, was requested by the Orange County Historical Commission.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to appoint Midge Taggart to serve on the planning
committee. Councilman Roth seconded the motion.
651
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Pickler stated that although he did not
know Midge Taggart and she might be an ideal person to serve, he felt they
should first speak with Elizabeth Schultz, who was on the Orange County
Historical Commission, to see if there might be someone she would suggest.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to continue the subject appointment for one
week so that Elizabeth Schultz could first be contacted relative to the
matter. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
147: COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS OF ORANGE COUNTY: A request from J. Wayne
Sylvester, Secretary of the Boards of Directors, for appointment of an
alternate to the Mayor to serve on the Board of Directors of County Sanitation
District Nos. 2 and 3, was submitted.
Councilman Roth moved that Councilman Overholt continue serving as his
alternate on the Board of Directors of County Sanitation District Nos. 2 and
3. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
148: ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL: Councilman Roth moved to
reconfirm the current appointee, William Postma, to the Assembly of Delegates
of the Orange County Health Planning Council, as requested by Stanley J.
Matek, Executive Director, in his letter dated June 28, 1982. Councilman
Pickler seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood suggested that the Council also
consider an alternate to Mr. Postma, since he (Postma) was gone for periods of
time and, further, that they had not received a report in the two years he had
represented the City.
Mayor Roth suggested that Councilwoman Kaywood recommend an alternate for
Council consideration.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
107/179: LINCOLN BEACH MOBILE MANOR PARK: Gfeller Development Company, Inc.,
requesting permission to proceed with hearings on the zoning and conversion
applications for property known as the Lincoln Beach Mobile Manor, 2925 West
Lincoln Avenue, prior to the completion of the Mobilehome Park Task Force
study.
Mayor Roth stated that at the previous meeting they discussed the fact that no
developer needed Council permission to proceed with conversion applications;
City Attorney Hopkins confirmed that permission was not needed. The
difference between this case and that discussed last week (Riviera Mobilehome
Park) was the fact that it was already filed and on the agenda for Planning
Commission consideration. As far as filing and processing documents, the City
had no legal basis to prevent that. The matter, however, could be continued,
with final action not to be taken until after the Mobilehome Ordinance was
presented.

Councilwoman Kaywood felt they should not be including Lincoln Beach with any
other mobilehome park conversion, since it was a special and unique
circumstance with a danger to health and safety involved. She also maintained
that at the meeting of March 9, 1982, former Mayor Seymour stated that the
"moratorium" did not apply to Lincoln Beach; City Attorney Hopkins stated he
had no recollection of it being exempted, but it was considered to be a matter
of high priority, because of the health and safety reasons involved.
Mr. Bob Reese, Executive Vice President, Gfeller Development Company, 228 West
Main Street, Tustin, referred to his letter of July 2, 1982, and stated the
real intent of his request was to appear before the Planning Commission with
their project and move it through. It was not an attempt by their firm to
rush the project through. In fact, it was the most difficult project they had
ever undertaken. He felt it would be a while before they were to appear
before the Council. They were not asking permission to file, but they did
want to proceed. They wanted to get started because they had an escrow which
they could not extend any further.
Mr. Floyd Farano, attorney for Riviera Mobilehome Park, stated that he did not
recall anything from the March 9, 1982 meeting exempting Gfeller (Lincoln
Beach) from other parks that wanted to convert. He would have no objection if
they were allowed to proceed and was in support of what Mr. Reese was trying
to do. The health, safety and welfare of the citizens in the Lincoln Beach
Park required it and he (Farano) would stipulate that he would not appear
before the Council next week with another request to proceed on behalf of
Riviera.
City Attorney Hopkins suggested that the tape of the March 9, 1982, meeting be
checked to ascertain if, in fact, Lincoln Beach was an exception. However, if
the Council took the position determining the park was eligible for the
conversion, it would be substituting their authority for the Planning
Commission, which might disagree.
Councilwoman Kaywood reiterated that it was made quite clear that Lincoln
Beach was exempt; Councilman Pickler stated he would feel assured if he knew
that to be the case and although he attended the meeting of March 9, 1982, he
was not there for the entire hearing.
Councilman Bay questioned if it would be proper for the Council to decide
today to make Lincoln Beach an exception to its stated policy. If ~t was the
Council's intention, they should do so now. He thereupon moved that the
Lincoln Beach Mobile Manor Park has been determined to be an exception to the
"moratorium" or policy~ in order for the developer to proceed. Councilman
Overholt first seconded the.motion and then withdrew it~ and Councilwoman
Kaywood thereupon seconded the motion.
Councilman Overholt moved instead that Lincoln Beach Mobile Manor, 2925 West
Lincoln Avenue, be given permission to proceed with hearings on the zoning and
conversion applications. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. Councilman
Pickler voted "no." MOTION CARRIED.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
129: ANAHEIM FIREFIGHTERS' OLYMPICS COMMITTEE - 1982 FIREMEN'S OLYMPICS: Web
Whitlock, 2568 East Underhill, Captain and Chairman of the Physical Fitness
and Olympics Committee, briefed the Council on his memorandum dated July 7,
1982, requesting approval of one shift of paid miscellaneous leave per man,
for nine men, to compete in the 1982 Firemen's Olympics August 3 through 7,
1982, to be held in Santa Clara, at a total cost of ~3,792.71.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the request for the use of City
time, one shift of miscellaneous paid leave, for nine firemen to compete in
the i982 Firemen's Olympics. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Pickler asked if something should happen
to a participant and they should apply for disability, what the result would
be.
City Attorney Hopkins answered that Worker's Compensation would cover the
injury because it would be considered work related and that was the purpose
for obtaining the compensation insurance policy; Councilwoman Kaywood asked if
they would also be required to sign a hold harmless agreement. Mr. Hopkins
answered that they had asked the police to do so in the past when
participating in the Police Olympics.
Mr. Whitlock stated they would have no objection.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion, including the execution of a
hold harmless agreement in favor of the City. MOTION CARRIED.
183: ORDINANCE NO. 4349: Councilman Bay offered Ordinance No. 4349 for
adoption. Refer to Ordinance Book.
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. (establishing an Industrial Development Board)
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Overholt questioned the City Attorney
relative to terms indicated in the ordinance--"the terms of the Board members
first appointed shall be as designated by the City Council as follows: two on
the thirtieth day of June of the first year following appointment." He felt
that d~d not r~f~r to a t~rm. H~ th~n offered langua~ ~tatin~, two terms to
expire on the thirtieth day.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that would be an improvement.
Councilman Bay stated it might be an improvement, but would only serve to
delay the ordinance; Councilman Overholt maintained the way it was written did
not make any sense. Further, under Section .0802, he suggested that it state,
"concerning industrial development bond applications." His main concern,
however, was the creation of another board at a time when he did not see there
654
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
was much for them to do. He also felt that the talent that would serve on the
Committee was available to them through the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. He
was not supportive at this time and made the foregoing suggestions so that, if
approved, the ordinance would be correct.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that in checking, there were approximately three
ordinances that were identical to the one proposed stating, "shall be as
designated by the City Council," meaning that the first two terms would expire
on the thirtieth day of June of the first year following appointment, that
being 1983. It would perhaps be clearer if they used instead of the word "be"
the word "expire." "Board members first appointed shall expire as designated
by the City Council..."
Councilman Bay stated he felt the understanding was clear and saw no reason
for delaying the ordinance for semantical questions when they were in
existence in other ordinances. If they wanted to start working on the
semantics of various ordinances to clear them up, they could do so carte
blanche.
Councilman Overholt stated' he did not feel the ordinance made sense and moved
to amend the ordinance to insert the term "expire" as articulated by the City
Attorney. The motion died for lack of a second.
A vote was then taken on the adoption of Ordinance No. 4349, as offered by
Councilman Bay.

145: OPPOSITION TO SITE "A" AS A PROPOSED JAIL FACILITY LOCATION:
Councilwoman Kaywood noted there was going to be a hearing on next Tuesday
evening, July 27, 1982, at Esperanza High School regarding potential jail
sites. Since they would be at the Brookhurst Community Center for a 7:30 p.m.
hearing on fireworks, she wanted to be certain that someone was going to be
representing the City at that meeting.
655
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
City Manager Talley recommended that a representative from the Planning staff
attend the meeting.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved that a letter of opposition be sent to the Orange
County Board of Supervisors, opposing Site "A" (Weir Canyon area) as the
proposed jail facility location. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
120: CONCERN OVER BLIGHTED CONDITIONS - PATRICK HENRY NEIGHBORHOOD:
Councilwoman Kaywood referred to letter dated June 23, 1982, from property
owners/businessmen who owned apartment units in the Patrick Henry
neighborhood, expressing their concern over the deteriorated area in which
their units were located. They stated it appeared that the problems were as a
result of non-caring owners and investors. She requested a response from the
City Manager and Planning Director with positive possible action.
124/162: REQUEST FROM BOY SCOUTS, ORANGE COUNTY COUNCIL, FOR WAIVER OF
PARKING FEE AT ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER: Councilman Pickier referred to
letter dated July 16, i982, from the subject organization, requesting the
waiver of the ~2.00 parking fee for use of the Anaheim Convention Center
parking lot on August 4, 1982, from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The
annual Good Scouts Awards Banquet was being held at the Marriott Hotel during
that time, and in view of the construction at the Marriott and surrounding
areas, a parking problem had developed, necessitating the use of the
Convention Center lot and thus, the request to waive the fee which would save
the Boy Scouts over $800.
City Manager Talley stated that rather than waive the fee, if the Council
wanted to allocate the money from the Council Contingency Fund and give it to
the Family Foresome to cover the parking fees, they would prefer that
instead. They received many requests for waiver of parking fees.
Councilman Bay stated that he did not recall a precedent where they ever
waived parking fees at the Convention Center, and he did not want to see that
precedent set.
Councilman Picklgr felt as long as they had a parking lot that was empty, that
the situation could be worked out, and each request should be considered on
its own merits. ~e thereupon moved to approve the request of the Boy Scouts,
Orange County Council, allowing them to park in the Convention Center lot
during the time of the lunch, and waiving the $2.00 parking fee. Councilman
Overholt seconded the motion.
Before any action was taken, Council Members Kaywood and Bay spoke strongly in
opposition, because it would be setting a dangerous precedent, resulting in
problems not only for the Council, but management.
Councilman Roth amended the motion that $800 be allocated from the Council
Contingency Fund and given to the Boy Scouts for reimbursement of the parking
fee. There was no second to the amended motion; however, a vote was taken on
the amended motion.

Councilman Pickler stated he did not want to charge the Contingency Fund or
the Boy Scouts; Mayor Roth further explained the intent of his amended motion
and thereupon Councilman Pickler stated he would reconsider and go along with
the amended motion.
Councilman Bay asked for clarification if Councilman Pickler was speaking of
the amended motion; Councilman Pickler answered "yes." Councilman Bay stated
he was waiting for a second to the amended motion, because there had been no
second.
Councilman Roth then again called for a vote on the foregoing amended motion;
before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay spoke against the amended motion for
the same reason he opposed the first and further, the amended motion might be
a gift of public funds.
City Attorney Hopkins stated it would be a promotional activity similar to
that of Cinco de Mayo, and there would be a public purpose in that sense.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing amended motion and failed to carry by
the following vote:
AYES:
NOES:
COUNCIL MEMBERS: Roth
COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood, Pickler, Overholt and Bay
Councilman Pickler moved that the Boy Scouts be allowed to use the Convention
Center lot without any stipulations and that the f~e be waived.
The motion died for lack of a second.
105: AMENDMENT TO WORDING ON ORDINANCES RELATING TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS:
Councilman Overholt requested that the City Attorney provide them with the
ordinances relating to Boards and Commissions where it was necessary to
clarify the wording, since he felt the wording as previously discussed did not
make sense.
City Attorney ~opktns stated they could amend the wording in accordance with
the wording suggested, which involved approximately three or more of the
ordinances.
114: PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCES: Councilman Overholt suggested that
when ordinances were prepared~ that the Council direct the City Attorney to
prepare the ordinances, giving them an opportunity to discuss them before they
were prepared. He felt it would be better to have dialogue first. He would
broach the matter again in one week.
657
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1982, 1:30 P.M.
123: CIVIC CENTER SCULPTURE: Councilman Bay stated relative to the sculpture
and the contract, which just last week they had extended another 60 days, he
believed that the base space allowed within the contract was 500 square feet.
However, he heard something along the lines of the sculpture being 160 feet
long. Therefore, he wanted to confirm with the person responsible for
handling the contract that the base space for the sculpture was limited to 500
square feet.
132: SUPERVISOR CLARK BREAKFAST MEETING - JULY 16, 1982 - SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT AND DISCUSSION OF INCREASED WASTE FEES: Councilman Bay reported on
his attendance at the subject meeting, explaining that when they started
discussing the subject the Council was most interested in, Solid Waste
Management, after fifteen minutes, Supervisor Clark had to leave and thus,
they did not get answers relative to the 5-0 vote of the Board of Supervisors
imposing gate fees of ~7.00 per ton to ail people, agencies and private
contractors other than cities (see minutes July 13, 1982). Many questions
remained unanswered, a major question being where the additional $23 million
to ~25 million would be going once they started collecting the newly imposed
fees.
REQUEST FOR CLOSED SESSION: Councilwoman Kaywood requested a Closed Session
to discuss possible litigation; City Attorney Hopkins requested a Closed
