City ~a. ll, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
meeting prior to the Council meeting). The Santa Ana Transportation Corridor
Study was inappropriate as it was presently written. The Orange County Trans-
portation District had slighted the City of Anaheim and used the City's recrea-
tional facilities to enhance their study without taking into consideration the
overall business community, particularly the Downtown area.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that the Council go on record as being in
opposition to the Santa Ana Transportation Corridor Study and Plan as pre-
sently configurated until much time am further consideration is given the City
of Anaheim in the extension of an approximate two-mile link to Central and
Downtown Anaheim. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

meeting held October 10, 1980, subject to typographical corrections. Council-
woman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

waive the reading in full of all ordinances and resolutions of the Agenda, after
reading of the title thereof by the City Clerk, and that consent to waiver is
hereby given by all Council Members, unless after reading of the title, specific
request is made by a Council Member for the reading of such ordinance or resolution
in regular order. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY in the amount of $1,718,970.45, in accordance
with the 1980-81 Budget, were approved.
CITY MANAGER/DEPARTMENTAL CONSENT CALENDAR: On motion by Councilman Roth,
seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the following items were approved as recom-

City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
177: LETTER OF ENDORSEMENT FOR APPLICATION FOR SECTION 8 EXISTING "HOUSING UNITS":
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to authorize the Mayor to sign a letter of endorsement
for an application for 202 units of Section 8 "existing" housing submitted by the
Anaheim Housing Authority, as recommended in memorandum dated February 10, 1981
from Executive Director of Community Development Norm Priest. Councilman
Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked what they could do to have HUD review their require-
ments so that more than 25% was possible to be paid by the person applying for
the subject housing, i.e., to make it more in line with the rest of the country
paying approximately 35% to 45%. She wanted to see what could be done legisla-
tively to have HUD's requirements changed to be more realistic relative to a
person paying a higher percentage towards housing if they could afford to do
SO.
Councilman Bay stated that he would like to see more information from staff on
such a proposal before taking any action.
City Manager William Talley suggested two weeks for staff to provide a report;
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that there was no rush and it could be a month if
necessary.
123/150: AWARD OF CONTRACT - PERALTA CANYON PARK MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING: Ac-
count No. 47-805-710. Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 81R-61 for
adoption awarding a contract as recommended by the City Engineer in his memo-
randum dated February 11, 1981. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 81R-61: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
ACCEPTING A SEALED PROPOSAL AND AWARDING A CONTRACT TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE
BIDDER FOR THE FURNISHING OF ALL PLANT, LABOR, SERVICES, MATERIALS AND EQUIP-
MENT AND ALL UTILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION INCLUDING POWER, FUEL AND WATER, AND
PERFORMING ALL WORK NECESSARY TO CONSTRUCT AND COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENT: PERALTA CANYON PARK MASONRY SPLIT BLOCK BUILDING/HARDCOURT AREA,
IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, ACCOUNT NO. 47-805-7105. (Bob N. Smith Contracting,
$109,224)
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay asked for some explanation as to why
only one bid was received.
City Manager Talley explained as indicated in the subject report, plans and
specifications were picked up by nine firms. Of those, five were subcontractors
who did not bid, two stated that they did not receive quotes from subcontractors
in time to bid and one could not be reached for comment. The project was ad-
vertised well enough to have received nine responses but only one bid. Staff's
estimate for the job was approximately $100,000 and while the proposed award was
slightly over that amount, they were recommending that it be awarded to Bob N.
Smith Contracting.
City Engineer William Devitt then confirmed for Councilman Bay that the two
who did not receive quotes from the subcontractors in time did not ask for
additional time.
Councilman Roth stated what he would like to see and a policy he believed they
set previously, was a list of the names of those companies to whom bids were
sent, but where no response or bid was received.
81-223
City ~all~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Devitt stated they could do that in the future. Historically, they had
always listed those bidders who did submit a bid; Councilman Roth also wanted
a list of those solicited, but where no bid was submitted.
Mr. Devitt stated that they could provide that information in the future insofar
as contractors were involved. As noted in the s~aff report, five of the firms
who picked up bids were not contractors but subcontractors.
City Manager Talley stated that some time ago they did list all the firms pri-
marily when automotive and fleet purchases were involved because they were get-
ting no bids on those purchases. In an effort to be more aggressive, they
actually mailed the bids to the firms, thereby putting it in their hands. On
construction projects, however, they normally advertised in the trade papers
and expected bidders to come in and pick up the bid package instead of mailing
it. He suggested in the future if they had less than three bids, they would
list other people who picked up plans. He felt that any time they had three
bids or more, such a listing would not be required.
Mayor Seymour asked if the Executive Director of Public Works or the City
Manager was prepared to provide an opinion to the Council that, in fact, they
thought the bid was a reasonable one.
City Manager Talley answered that the bid received was approximately 9% over
estimate. Staff did review it for an additional week and their recommendation
was that the contractor, who was very reputable, be accepted. He reiterated
although it was slightly over the estimate and without the competitive factor,
he would say that it was a bid that should be accepted.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution.

City Hall~ Anahe. im, California - COUNCIL MINUTES. - Febru.ary 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Before a vote was taken, Miss Pam Lucado, Associate Planner, clarified questions
posed by. Councilman Roth relative to Item 3 of the subject staff report regarding
the application to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) for grant
funds in an amount not to exceed $30,000 to be used for a community-wide infor-
mation service program. This was to include the designing and printing of a
map that would combine the public and private carrier services that could be
provided to an Anaheim visitor.
Councilman Bay questioned if the map would be bilingual. Considering the many
out of country visitors to Anaheim's Convention Center/Disneyland area, he was
wondering if they could perhaps look at printing less than 100,000 maps, as
indicated by Miss Lucado, and add some additional language to the map such as
Spanish or Japanese in order to cover the higher percentage of out of country
visitors that would need the map more than United States citizens; Miss Lucado
stated that could be made a portion of the specifications.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolutions.

Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay stated in reading the subject report,
this was the first payoff they were going to receive in the program that the
City had joined, and he was glad to see that the program was working.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she would like to give some recognition to
staff on the excellent innovative programs devised which were now being recog-
nized nationwide.
Mayor Seymour noted that there was no mention of any cost to the City. He
wanted to know in the marketing, set-up and installation of the program if
there would be any cost.
City Manager Talley stated that the City would agree to provide certain staff
assistance on a cost reimbursable basis if required. When the system was first
installed, they probably would not charge someone for telephone calls; however,
should staff have to go on site or spend any extensive time on the installation
of the program, they would bill accordingly. He also confirmed for the Mayor
that it was a different approach than last year in trying to sell some of their
data processing systems. It was a no risk venture for the City.

165: STATUS REPORT - POSTED STREET CLEANING PROGRAM: Councilwoman Kaywood moved
to receive and file the report dated January 30, 1981 from William Lewis, Street
Maintenance and Sanitation Superintendent, relative to the subject program.
Councilman Overholt seconded :he motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood commented that in reading the
report, she had some concern that an arrest was an overreaction, but she did
not know how else to handle non-payment of a ticket.
Councilman Overholt stated this was the first time he was aware that they were
issuing warrants for arrests. He asked if they had ever been told that before.
City Manager Talley explained that at the last meeting when the program was
discussed, Mr. Lewis had mentioned that they had secured a number of warrants.
He did not know if the Council had been advised as to whether any had been
served or not.
Councilman Roth asked if during a heavy rain streets were swept that day or not;
Mr. Talley explained if a light rain, they were swept, but if a heavy rain, they
were not. He also clarified that the only time a citation was given was when the
sweeper must go around the vehicle.
Councilman Roth then asked if there had been a true determination made that there
was an adequate amount of signing to inform citizens of the street sweeping days
and hours; Mr. Talley answered that the City had "bent over backwards" in can-
celing tickets where there was the slightest doubt involved. Citizens did not
81-228
City Hall, Aqahgim~ Cal~ifornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
want anymore signing than was necessary and nobody wanted the signs in front of
their home. Trying to do an adequate job with the bare minimum of signs had
been a continuing problem.
Mr. William Lewis, Streets & Sanitation Superintendent, explained that they had
also received petitions in their office asking that no signs be posted in an
area with the idea that they would still honor the intent and the spirit of
the posted street sweeping program. In terms of sign posting, they had posted
on what would be considered a minimum posting program or a tract entry program.
They had been reminded by citizens and others that there could be a few more
signs posted specifically in areas where they received complaints. They addressed
those on an individual basis and if the requests seemed reasonable, they author-
ized more signs. He also explained for Councilman Roth that in terms of com-
plaints, they were almost non-existent with regard to the first areas to come
under the program. Most of the complaints, or 90% of them, came from the newest
posted areas and those were now one and one-half monthm old. The entire City
was completely posted and under the program as of January 8, 1981.
Mayor Seymour asked the criteria used to define where problem areas existed as
outlined on the maps provided (see subject report and attachments thereto).
Mr. Lewis answered, the areas of concern were determined to be where he had to
send out a secondary parking checker. The normal team was one sweeper and one
parking checker. When they had to send out an additional checker or "rover" for
any period of time during the day, resulting in a higher incidence of citation
issuance, they defined ~hat as an area of concern. Since the report of January 30,
1981 was written, they had under that definition reduced the number of areas
of concern. Included were certain streets in the Chevy Chase area near the
Riverside Freeway between Euclid and Harbor Boulevard off of Romneya, more
particularly the residential single-family areas in the westerly end of that
section. There was also one apartment house area that was removed recently
from the areas of concern, that being Pampas Lane, a long cul-de-sac apartment
house street running easterly off of Euclid, just south of Lincoln.
Mayor Seymour, speaking to Ron Thompson, Acting Public Works Executive Director,
stated that it seemed dichotomous to him considering the many older sections
in the City having apartments which had been constructed with parking ratios
of one and one-quarter to one or to the old standards that, unless he was mis-
interpreting what Mr. Lewis was saying, some of those were not a problem area
for parking. He asked which was so.
Mr. Ron Thompson answered that thos~ could be problem araas bacausa of the lack
of on-site parking, but once the people became accustomed to the sweeping program,
they modified some of their parking habits during that brief period. They could
park somewhere in the immediate area, i.e., move their cars long enough during
the four-hour period of sweeping. They had noted that some used commercial
parking areas in the nearby vicinity, but apparently not long enough to create
any additional complaints, or to an area just outside of the street sweeping
boundary, or parking in alleys for brief periods in such as fashion so as not
to obstruct traffic.
81-229
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
The Mayor then asked specifically the status of the program in the Robin, Chevy
Chase, Bluejay apartment house area.
Mr. Lewis answered that they were under the same program in that area as well.
The degree of success was variable but greatly improved. He had not visited the
area in the past several weeks but from reports he had received, the situation
had improved.
Mayor Seymour asked Mr. Lewis for an explanation of the 80% factor as discussed
on Page 4 of his report under Scheduling Variations--"Sweeping Cost Increases
Approximately 80% Within the Selected Areas" with regard to sweeping alternate
sides of the street on different days.
Mr. Lewis, referring first to a tract entry type area where there was limited
access rather than a grid pattern type area, stated they would have to drive
in and around that area on approximately the same sweeping pattern to perform
an alternate sides sweeping program. They found that they were unable to
reduce the amount of time and curb miles the sweeper would actually have to
operate under an alternate sides plan.
The Mayor asked for a more detailed explanation, noting that the City was not
one made up entirely of cul-de-sac streets and to his knowledge, specifically
in the downtown area, there was a small percentage of cul-de-sacs to grid pat-
tern streets.
Mr. Lewis then explained the actual mechanics in performing the street sweeping
function in different areas of the City. In concluding, he noted that in
central Anaheim, most of lhe streets were a grid pattern and that pattern
did lend itself to more savings with regard to the program. On the cul-de-sac
street, it was necessary to make the same trip twice, whereas on grid pattern
streets it was different, and there would be a reduced amount of street mileage
involved in alternate day sweeping.
The Mayor surmised that Mr. Lewis was going on the presumption that the City
was made up of cul-de-sacs and if he did not know what percentage of the City
streets were cul-de-sacs and the percentage that were grid pattern streets, how
he could make a cost comparison.
Mr. Lewis stated what he was trying to focus in on, from ~he simplest example
of a cul-de-sac to the other type of extreme where everything was grid pattern,
somewhere in-between there was a series of streets that meandered throughout
a tract in cul-de-sacs and in knuckles, etc. What ~hey found was they almost
had to retrace all of their steps in those tracts, the same as on a simple cul-
de-sac, and go back and pick up the knuckle or one cul-de-sac within the tract.
The Mayor felt that was fallacious and it did not have to be done that way.
He felt the problem was that Mr. Lewis was trying to treat the whole City the
same and it was not the same. He :ook, for example, a neighborhood made up of
through streets grid pattern with some knuckles and cul-de-sacs such as that
area west of Gilbert Street, south of La Palma, Greenbriar and surrounding area.
He asked why they could not set up a program where they swept the cul-de-sacs
all at one time, but provided all the grid type streets in that area alternate
sides sweeping. He questioned why it was not possible to provide different
types of sweeping schedules for different areas that had different needs, the
bottom line being there were many neighborhoods in the City whereby residents
could not remove their vehicles from the street.

City ~all~ Anah~im~ Califorqia - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17,. 1.981, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Lewis explained, the difficulty in writing a report of the type submitted
which was a general report applied to all areas of the City. In such a report
it was possible to single out any one area, and it would have to be treated
separately. If he were asked to address any one given area, he would define the
sweeping pattern according to Council's desire in that area and there could
be efficiencies of 80%, 60% or it could be 100% depending upon the area. That
was how they would treat any given area if that were the program, but in
writing a general report, they were trying to give the Council an impression
of how they saw the street system as a whole.
Mayor Seymour stated what he was interested in, now that they had a good pro-
gram and he was totally supportive of it, was the fine tuning of the program
which would mean that in those areas where there was not sufficient parking,
that they provide some flexibility by sweeping one side one day and coming
back and sweeping the other side another day. For example, on every cul-de-sac
in the City they could sweep them only one day a week, but on certain grid
pattern type streets they would do alternate day sweeping. That seemed to
him to be a viable proposal. What he gleaned from the report was that staff
had said they had put the program through its paces, they thought it through
at the outset and now they felt they should not change it. He did not agree
with that but felt that it needed fine tuning.
City Manager Talley stated the reason that the report was submitted two weeks
after Mr. Lewis prepared it was due to the fact that he (Talley) had some of
the same concerns. So as not to be confused about the statistics, the 80% rep-
resented what Mr. Lewis felt the added cost would be on all of the small areas
involved. If the Council were to look at each of those areas, they would see
that most of them had only one way in or out or perhaps two but they were not
very well shaped parcels. They then asked what the cheapest way would be to
bring the matter to the Council. At present, they had specific street sweeping
routes and in order to maximize the efficiency, if Council wished, Mr. Lewis
was recommending that they go to nine routes which was only a 12¼% increase
to the City-wide program but probably an 80% order of magnitude relative to
cost to sweep the small individual areas at present. Therefore he was saying
if they did not want everything done on alternate sides on different days or
the same day they ought to spend about $150,000. He (Lewis) did not feel it
sounded to reasonable to buy another sweeper and truck loader that would have
to travel all over town and then $50,000 a year for the operator and to maintain
the street sweeper.
Mayor Seymour asked if he understood Mr. Talley to say if the Council were to
adopt that alternative it would cover the whole City or just the problem areas.
Mr. Talley answered it would cover the whole City's problem areas as defined
by two cars writing tickets rather than one. That was the only standard they
used to go by. If the Council wanted to do something else, staff could do any-
thing the Council wished. The minute they moved away from the present plan,
however, they were going to have a sign proliferation which was a fact. They
believed that the routes were well scheduled at present because they swept the
City in blocks and if they started going back, there was a possibility of at
least one more route in order to do it differently and some efficiency would
be lost by alternate sweeping days--the only exception being going to alternate
weeks.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour stated he felt the whole program needed some flexibility because
it was totally unfair and inequitable to force somebody to break the law by
having to park his car in a shopping center or elsewhere or to inconvenience
him greatly in those sections where there was not adequate off-street parking.
Rather than continue what he believed to be a totally unfair situation in those
areas where there was a shortage of parking, he proposed that they spend the
$158,000 in capital outlay and then the annual cost of an additional operator
and sweeper, if that was the solution, although he was not totally convinced
that that was the answer to the problem.
Councilwoman Kaywood sta~ed she would have to object to that on two grounds--
one that if they were not going to treat the whole City equally and their ob-
jective was to have clean streets, they should not have instituted the program.
Secondly, if they began to treat areas differently, they would be opening a
"hornets nest." Many neighborhoods were being inconvenienced and if they
were going to show a preference to one area and no~ another, that would be
unfair.
Mayor Seymour stated making the program flexible merely admitted to the fact
that there was some sections of the City where there was a greater amount of
off-street parking than in other sections and nothing more.
Councilman Bay stated from one side of the argument, i.e., do not change any-
thing, to getting a new sweeper and adding more cost, he felt they should first
look at some of the middle ground alternates to solve the problem. Looking at
Alternate 3 in the report (see page 5 of the subject report)--sweeping of
alternate sides on succeeding weeks, would be what he would favor for the prob-
lem areas because, in effect, it would not increase the cost other than the
additional signing that would be necessary. At the same time, the sweeping
would be reduced to once every two weeks rather than once every week on each
side. The reason he did not see any other increased cost other than signing
was due to the fact that the amount of sweeping would be decreased by 50%.
In the areas where there were problems with on-street parking in the higher
density apartment areas, if the Council wanted to try something to modify the
intensity of the problem, ~hey should look at the possibility of Alternate 3
in those specific problem areas for a period of time to see how it would work.
Mayor Seymour stated if they were to adopt such a policy, they would be looking
to those areas of the City that needed their street swept more than any other
area in the City--the high density areas. The other inconsistency in such a
policy would be that one property owner or tenant would be paying to have their
streets swept once a week while another every other week, but they would still
be paying the same.
Councilman Bay stated at the same time they were going to have to spend more
money in those areas because they were going to have to double up on the sign-
ing. They would also be giving them :he alternate of parking on the other
side of the stree~ when sweeping occurred.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to table the matter for two months to see
if the number of complaints decreased in that time where people were being
innovative enough in removing their vehicles from the street. She wanted to
wait and see with regard to the last area which fell under the program in
January. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion for the purpose of discussion
81-232
City Hal~, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Roth asked if there were any cities in
Orange County whose sweeping program encompassed alternate day street sweeping;
Mr. Lewis answered that there were none to him knowledge in Orange County.
Councilman Roth questioned if it would be worthwhile to ask those cities in
Orange County who had a sweeping program to give some input relative to how
they worked their program in the high density areas of the City; Mr. Lewis
stated they could do that.
Councilman Roth continued that, as well, they perhaps had not done enough as far
as educating Anaheim citizens to, the street sweeping program. He felt there was
a broad misconception that the signs indicating, for example, no parking 8:00
a.m. to 12 Noon, they were under the impression that they could not park in
that area for four straight hours. However, the mweeper started in some areas
at 8:00 a.m. and one or two minutes later after the sweeper went by, the cars
could be reparked on the street. He felt that specific information on the street
sweeping program should be included in utility billings as part of a citizen
education program.
Mayor Seymour, speaking to the motion on the floor, stated that he was opposed
to it. He felt they had plenty of time to study the program which had been in
place for one and one-half years. He was certain if the Council were to stick
to the current program long enough, there would come a time when they would have
no complaints. That did not mean, however, that it was an inequitable, rea-
sonable or fair program or that it provided a flexibility of service. He did
not think it was appropriate to conclude whether the program should be more
flexible or not merely by measuring the number of complaint calls received or
tickets written. He felt that with sensitivity they had to evaluate the various
n~ighborhoods because they were entirely different. He was not saying what
he suggested or what staff was recommending was the answer, but that to do
nothing and force the program down the citizen's throat who was having a
difficult time in removing his car from a public street, because he had nowhere
else to put it, was patently unfair. He preferred to see the Council take an
action or perhaps another two weeks to try and ascertain what other cities
did. If the current motion passed, he was concerned that the matter would get
buried.
Mrs. Patricia Clancy, 303 North Bush, first explained that a few months ago the
California Supreme Court passed a ruling that a City could no longer regulate
the number of people renting an apartment. In many cases there were two and
three families living in one apartment. There was nothing that could be done
legally, but they could do something to help eliminate the overcrowding and
that was to leave the street sweeping program alone. As soon as one of the
families arrived in the City, they immediately purchased an automobile that
was not insured and the driver not licensed, and the automobile would just sit
in the street. She was very much opposed to any change in the street sweeping
program. Her area was one of the first to have the program implemented. Ini-
tially there were some problems in adjusting, but they since have done so. It
also was not practical to sweep only every other week in heavy density areas.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt thereupon offered a substitute motion to continue
the matter for one month and to direct staff to investigate what other commun-
ities were doing in their sweeping program and subsequently propose positive
recommendations. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
81-233
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Before action was taken, Councilman Roth asked that the motion include pro-
viding information in utility billings to provide citizens with more informa-
tion relative to specifics of the City's street sweeping program.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
RECESS: By general consent the Council recessed for 15 minutes. (3:45 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Seymour called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (4:00 P.M.)
161.123: PUBLIC HEARING - DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, LEWIS
AND MARION FREEDMAN (NORTHEAST CORNER OF ANAHEIM BOULEVARD AND LINCOLN AVENUE,
REALIGNED): Public hearing was held to consider a proposed Disposition and
Development Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and Lewis and Marion
Freedman for the sale and development of certain real property bounded on the
south by realigned Lincoln Avenue, on the west by Anaheim Boulevard, on the
north by Cypress Street, and on the east by Claudina Street.
Executive Director of Community Development Norm Priest briefly outlined his
report and recommendations dated February 6, 1981.
Mayor/Chairman Seymour asked if anyone present wished to address the City Council
and Redevelopment Agency.
Mrs. Diana Torgerson, 216 North Claudina Street, advised that her residence faced
the subject property, and she read from a letter received in the office of the
City Clerk this date (copies furnished each Council/Agency Member), and signed
by herself and other residents on her street. Noted therein was the repeated
refusal by the proposed developers to meet with those residents until after
today's public hearing; therefore they were unable to make informed comments
on the compatibility and impact of the project on the neighborhod. It was re-
quested that the decision on the proposal be deferred until a meeting between
the developers and the residents could be held.
Responding to Council/Agency questions, Mrs. Torgerson further advised that
she had resided at her present address for more than one year, and when they
purchased the property they were advised that adjacent properties were under
redevelopment. She had visited the Redevelopment Office and viewed the plan
for Project Alpha, however, no specific plans for subject property were shown
at that time. She questioned whether a concept approved today could be modi-
fied at a later date.
Mr. Priest explained that the site concept plan could be shown this date, how-
ever, plans for proposed construction and landscaping would have to be approved
by the Redevelopment Agency at a later date. This preliminary plan would, in
effect, become part of the agreement. He pointed out that he had recently met
with residents of the area and assured them that their location was at a point
where commercial and residential uses came together.
Mr. Dan L. Rowland, Architect for the project, came forward and displayed a
general site plan. The corner one-story portion of the proposed development
would house a jewelry store, with a diagonal plaza and a two-story element for
81-234
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
commercial offices to the rear. Fifty-four off-street parking spaces would be
provided, and the development would be shielded from view of the residential
area by a six-foot wall.
In response to questions by Council/Agency Members, Mr. Rowland stated that the
building would be approximately 80 feet from the nearest public right-of-way, and
140 feet from the nearest residence. The Lincoln Avenue access drive was located
where shown on the plan for safety reasons.
Mr. Priest called attention to the fact that the Traffic Engineer had reviewed
and approved ~he traffic pattern shown on the plan, and further studies would
be made during discussions with neighbors.
Mayor/Chairman Seymour asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council/
Redevelopment Agency.
Floyd L. Farano, Attorney representing applicants Mr. and Mrs. Freedman, stated
that brief conversations had been held wi~h area residents, however, there was
not a great deal of information available at the time, and they had been advised
that when the proposed agreement was approved by the City, all materials would
be available for the residents' inspection. He noted the possibility that this
response may have been inadequate, however, they had no intention of causing a
delay.
Mayor/Chairman Seymour asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council/
Redevelopment Agency; there being no response, he declared the public hearing
closed.
Upon noting that the applicants were willing to work with residents of the area
to alleviate their concerns, Mr. Seymour offered the following resolutions for
adoption. Refer to Resolution Book.

motion. MOTION CARRIED. (4:27 P.M.)
PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 3192, TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 11362, AND NEGATIVE
DECLARATION: Application by Conrad J. and Josephine M. Letter, to establish
a 1-lot, 7-unit condominium subdivision on RM-1200 zoned property located at
1260 East La Palma Avenue, east of East Street, with the following Code wiavers:
a)
b)
c)

f)

The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC81-3, declared that
the subject project be exempt from the requirement to prepare an environmental
impact report, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act since there would be no significant individual or cumulative adverse environ-
mental impact due to this project and further, denied Variance No. 3192 and
Tentative Tract No. 11362.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by Conrad J. and Josephine
M. Letter, owners, and Walter K. Bowman, agent, and public hearing scheduled this
date.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or applicant's agent was present.
Mr. Walter K. Bowman, 7936 Cerritos Avenue, Stanton, explained that they had the
site plan approved on July 2, 1980 after numerous public hearings on the parcel
for seven apartment units. During the process of getting his working drawings
prepared and submitting them to :he City, Mr. Letter was unable to obtain finan-
cing for apartments which was a common problem today. He could, however, obtain
financing for condominiums and tha: was the reason he was requesting the change.
He wanted to use the same site plans and he had all of his working drawings
together. They had a number of meetings with the neighbors (.t254 to 1242 East
81-236
qiqy Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
La Palma) relative to the project and the majority of the interested neighbors
reviewed the site plan at that time and there was a general consenus that they
wished they were condominiums instead of apartments. As it turned out, if
the Council approved the project, it would make most of the neighbors happy, as
well as Mr. Letter. At ~he Planning Commission meeting, there was one neighbor
who was opposed, and he (Bowman) met with him on February 10 and showed him
the site plan. He did not know if that person was present today.
Mayor Seymour asked if Mr. Bowman was aware that he was coming before the Council
at a most inopportune time, meaning that they had a scheduled work session to-
morrow evening to discuss the whole realm of condominium development standards~
affordable housing, etc.
Mr. Bowman stated he was aware that there was going to be a work session. They
had not had much control over the timing on the units. They had started over a
year ago on the project as apartments and they had a number of problems to dis-
cuss and to try to change. During that time, they found it was not feasible to
build apartments in today's money market and that was why they were back.
The Mayor asked if there was any other member of the public who wished to speak
to the matter; there was no response.
City Clerk Roberts then confirmed for Councilman Roth that the neighborhood was
advised of the public hearing today. Legal publication was made and posting
performed.
The Mayor closed the public hearing. He also stated it was his opinion if they
proceeded to make a decision on the project today they would be "flying blind."
Tomorrow evening they would at least have a better feel from the Planning Com-
mission, as well as the Council, to see if they could get some unanimity of
feeling or direction. He, for one, would be concerned about making a decision
today one way or the other and thus would be reluctant to vote on the matter.
He would prefer to look at it a couple of weeks from now.
Mr. Bowman said that would be acceptable.
MOTION: After a brief discussion relative to an appropriate date and time,
Councilman Seymour moved to continue public hearing on Variance No. 3192 and
Tentative Tract No. 11362 to Tuesday, March 17, 1981, a~ 3:00 p.m. MOTION CARRIED.
130/173: REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF SURFACE OVERCROSSING OF RAILROADS IN THE
CITY: On motion by Councilman Overholt, seconded by Councilman Bay, the City
Manager's and City Attorney's offices wer~ authorized to negotiate an agreement
with the various railroad companies serving the City for the repair and main-
tenance of surface overcrossing of railroads in the City, as recommended in
joint memorandum dated February 9, 1981 from the City Manager and City Attorney.
MOTION CARRIED.
139: SENATE BILL 33 - VEHICLE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE: Supporting the passage
of Senate Bill 33, Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (continued from the meetings
of January 27 and February 3, 1981--see minutes that date).
81-237
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth first stated that he had a message from Supervisor McCandless
thanking each of the Council Members for the resolution of congratulations
recently presented to him, am well as a thank you to the City Clerk. He pre-
sented the resolution to Supervisor McCandless at the South Coast Air Quality
Management Board (SCAQMB) m~eting last Friday where it turned out that he
(Roth) was elected Vice-Chairman of the four-county area. The pro-business
people who had a concern about the balance between industry and air quality
won a decisive battle by having Dr. Heinsheimer elected as its new Chairman.
Relative to SB 33, there was a meeting in Sacramento with Senator Presley, A1
McCandless and Mayor HeimsheLmer and hhe staff from the South Coast Air Quality
Management Board District. He wanted to explain what had now evolved or what
was left of SB 33. They completely deleted all the centralized test stations
which would also include phasing out the existing State-fun Hamilton Test
stations presently in service, which should be completed by 1984. Thus, all
testing could be done by free enterprise. The $15 up-front fee was also deleted
which would have been added to the annual automobile registration fee. A
motorist would pay between $3 and $5 for the inspection of his vehicle in a free
enterprise service activity. The bill had, therefore, moved completely into
the concept of keeping the automobile tuned up annually with the fee to be
paid to the business who provided the tune-up and a certificate would be given
at that time. The last and major provision which evolved out of the Anaheim
City Council was a "sunset" provision. Ail those items had been incorporated into
the bill according to Mr. McCandless, Mayor Heinsheimer and Senator Presley. They
were still looking for support from various cities and counties.
Last Wednesday night at the Sanitation District meeting, 23 cities were present,
plus four members of the Board of Supervisors, and they voted unanimously to
support SB 33 with the amendments as just articulated. In addition, Mr. Harper,
the Executive Officer of the Sanitation District, indicated that the District
could lose up to $11 million. He (Roth) did not like the sanctions any more
than anybody else, but it was obvious that there was a serious problem relative
to dollars and cents if some type of plan was not implemented. He pointed out
that even if SB 33 received approval this year, it would be 1983 before it took
effect. He felt the bill also would be amended again before being finalized.
It was appropriate, however, to indicate that the City of Anaheim with the
amended provisions was supportive of some type of motor vehicle inspection and
that they were interested in clean air.
Councilman Roth thereupon offered a resolution supporting the passage of Senate
Bill 33, Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance.
Before any action was taken, Mayor Seymour referred to a letter from Congressman
Bill Dannemeyer dated February 4, 1981. He asked if he (Roth) or any other
Council Member had received that letter.
Councilman Roth stated that he had received one, and the District was responding
to it. He then mentioned the breakfast meeting they had attended with Congressman
Dannemeyer where they discussed the sanctions that were being mandated by the
Federal government and found that Congressman Dannemeyer was not even familiar
with them. His (Dannemeyer's) bill may or may not pass but in the meantime he
(Roth) was opposed just as the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber had proposed
a resolution stating thac some type of motor vehicle inspection was necessary
to clean up the air. He was dismayed when any type of sanctions were handed
down; however, he was not using Chose sanctions as reasons for supporting SB
33.
81-238
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Bay stated he had a problem with the resolution for three reasons.
It was obvious that the bill was changing dramatically as predicted by staff
and the Chamber. He also received a copy of the Dannemeyer letter and he agreed
with the positions he was taking relative to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) edicts. With the new administration, he could foresee some of the "blocks
kicked out" from some of those edicts coming from the bureaus in Washington to
the states. His problem in voting on the resolution today was that with the
dramatic changes that had occurred, he was not certain what he was voting for.
He had not seen the bill with the amendments and felt it presumptuous for the
Council to support a resolution that was in a constant state of change until
they knew what they were voting on.
Councilman Overholt acknowledged Mr. Davenport from the Automobile Club.
Mr. Skip Davenport, Automobile Club of Southern California, 150 West Vermont,
stated that they were also concerned about SB 33 but more concerned with
cleaning up the air, contrary to some thought that anyone opposed to SB 33 was
in favor of smog.
Councilman Roth asked what the Automobile Club had done to clean up the air.
Mr. Davenport explained that they had introduced legislation in 1978 on a,
maintain the current program upon transfer basis, which they felt was more
responsive and also instructing the State government to mandate a study by the
Stanford Research Institute in order to get the best possible means of vehicle
inspection by the State.
Councilman Roth stated he would appreciate it if Mr. Davenport would supply in
writing a position paper from the Automobile Club as to what they had done
'relative to cleaning up the air in the last ten years; Mr. Davenport stated
that he would be happy to meet with him in person and provide that data.
Mr. Davenport continued that the problem they had with SB 33 at present was
the fact that they did not know what it looked like today. Further, evidence
from the existing program did not show any substantial amount of reduction,
more than 4% could be seen for the multi-million dollar project. Even at the
$5 per car charge on the new proposed amendments, it would still run $60 million
when considering there were 12 million cars in the State currently with 1,068,000
cars in Orange County alone. The EPA itself on February 3, 1981, in its testi-
mony before the Senate Transportation Commission, stated that they had not ana-
lyzed the bill or had sta~ed it would be acceptable. The legislative counsel
of the State had some concerns stating that the phase-in portion from 1983 to
1986 failed to comply with the Federal requirements for implementation by
December 31, 1982. Therefore, even if SB 33 were put in place, it probably
would not comply or have any effect on the sanctions. However, that was a
moot question because the EPA was denying to say that other than four actions
had been taken in the State to withhold funds and they were not going to say
where or when. The State Legislative counsel also stated that SB 33 in its
original form did not provide for a repayment of a current $8.4 million deficit
in the present Hamilton Test Program.
In concluding, Mr. Davenport stated, on behalf of the Board of Directors of the
Automobile Club of Southern California, the major concern was that the proposed
program be cost effective. For the millions of dollars it would generate, they
81-239
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
were not going to be able to tell the difference of 4% in air quality in Southern
California. They were looking forward to other scientific means and engineering
improvements on the vehicles to meet those things.
Later in the meeting, Councilman Roth asked the City Clerk to have a verbatim
transcript prepared of Mr. Davenport's foregoing remarks (on file in the City
Clerk's office). He wanted to be able to present those remarks to the South
Coast Air Quality Management Board to let them know of the statements being
made by the Automobile Club to the cities in the community.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she felt SB 33 was a good first step and she
would gladly support the proposed resolution.
Councilman Overholt stated he would very much like to be supportive, but that
he could not be at this point. He was convinced that the Federal sanctions
were the greatest motivating factor. The bill had taken on a different form
in order to gain sufficient support to pass. He was not going to support the
resolution, but that should not prejudice Councilman Roth from coming back next
week with the amended bill. He also stated that he would like to see the data
as to what the Automobile Club had done in the past ten years relative to air
quality.
biayor Seymour stated that he had previously expressed his feelings on the matter
and asked Councilman Roth if he would prefer to withdraw the proposed resolution
or call for a vote.
Councilman Roth stated he would withdraw the resolution until they received a
copy of the bill as amended.
177: RESALE CONTROLS - GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65916: Establishing, in com-
pliance with State law, resale controls in order to assure continued afford-
ability for 30 years, for housing developments that involve a direct financial
contribution of public funds; establishing said resale controls in the form of
deed restrictions with the Consumer Price Index as an indicator of equity, re-
strictions on rental and a first right of refusal to the Housing Authority
(continued from the meetings of February 3 and 10, 1981-,see minutes those
dates).
City Attorney William Hopkins briefed the Council on his memorandum dated
February 12, 1981, advising that there was no published opinion of the Attorney
General concerning the subject Code and that none were being prepared by the
Office of the Attorney General at this time. They were drafting questions to
be submitted through appropriate channels to the Attorney General for a formal
opinion.
Councilman Overholt asked if they were required to take any action at all; Mr.
Hopkins answered that he would recommend continuing the matter for an additional
week, and he would check with Mr. Norm Priest, Executive Director of Community
Development, as to whether or not any action was required by his Department.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved to continue the subject for one week to await
input from Mr. Priest.
81-240
City Hall, Anaheim, Cal%fornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Before any action was taken, Councilman Bay questioned why they would have to
take action on the first portion of the proposed motion at all, since at the
previous Council meeting (February 10, 1981), the Council took action stating
it did not intend to approve any direct funding that would require 30-year
resale controls.
Councilman Overholt stated the reason he wanted the matter continued was to ask
Mr. Priest if there still might be a requirement for them to take some action
on the matter.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Mayor Seymour stated he was going to oppose the motion to continue. He suspected
what Councilman Overholt was saying, other than a direct financial contribution,
was there a law mandating the City to adopt 30-year price controls.
City Attorney Hopkins answered that there was no law requiring the City to take
such action.
The Mayor continued that last week they unanimously passed a motion stating
they would not offer a direct financial contribution if there were 30-year
resale price controls, and he saw no reason to belabor that.
Councilman Overholt stated his understanding was that the first portion of the
motion would constitute compliance with the law and they had chosen not to im-
plement that law by saying they would not get involved. The second portion
implemented that restraint. He was only asking for a continuance of one week
to see if there was any reason why they should take no action. He wanted to
be certain they were not required to take action in implementing the law. If
no action was required, he intended to vote "no".
The Mayor stated he would then support the motion of continuance.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.

tremendous contribution by the Marriott Corporation to an event for the County
in that they picked up the cost for the meals. The ladies who formed the
Chapter were to be highly complimented for staging a very successful event.
The City should be proud of them and the outstanding progress they were making
to build a music center in Orange County.
81-247
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
114: SUBREGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL MEETING: Councilwoman Kaywood reported on
the subject meeting held Wednesday, February 11, 1981. She was now Chairman
of that Council. At that meeting, they voted to recommend the draft proposal
of the Air Quality Management Plan to the Orange County Board of Supervisors
on March 3rd and subsequently it would be forwarded to SCAG.
120: PROPOSED GARDENING BLOWER ORDINANCE: (Continued from the meeting of
January 27, 1981) Mayor Seymour recalled that Mr. Herb Eggett had requested
that they consider an ordinance relative to the subject blowers. A report had
been received from the City Manager's office, the bottom line being, staff was
saying "no" too expensive to using hhe blower equipment and secondly they cited,
were much to expensive to using the blower equipment and secondly they cited,
even if the ordinance were adopted, it would be difficult to enforce. He was
now again looking for input from the Council in order to respond to Mr. Eggett.
Councilwoman Kaywood suggested that they take no action. Every governing body
seemed to wind up passing a resolution or ordinance to prohibit what was
essentially a neighborhood feud. In this case, she did not feel that the
ordinance was the way to go.
Councilman Roth suggested that they send a copy of the staff report to Mr. Eggett.
Councilman Overholt stated that the one ordinance that was given to them was
the Newport Beach ordinance, but they had other things to think about such as
the pollution of the bay and matters such as that which was a part of the or-
dinance. He also felt that this was an area in which good common sense might
be the way to handle the matter, rather than government telling people how to
use the equipment.
It was the consensus of the Council that a letter be sent to Mr. Eggett ad-
vising him that no action would be taken.
148: NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES MEETING AND OTHER SUCH CONFERENCES: Mayor
Seymour referred to the National League of Cities meeting to be held in Washington,
D. C., (February 28 through March 3, 1981) that he and Councilman Overholt were
going to attend. He stated he was looking for policy direction from the
Council as to whether one or all of the Council members should attend, a
matter which would become somewhat important at budget time relative to travel
allowances.
Councilwoman Kay-wood stated having attended many State conferences she knew
that one person could not cover a conference. She felt that if everyone could
attend, it would be a good idea.
Mayor Seymour stated that Councilwoman Kaywood felt that one or all should attend.
Councilman Bay stated he felt the same way; Councilman Roth stated it was up
to the individual because each member had to answer to his or her constituents.
If a Council member wished to attend, they should do so and if the constituents
were not happy with that action, they would let them know.
Mayor Seymour stated he agreed with Councilman Roth that it was an individual
decision and if that individual was going to accomplish business, not only the
Council, but the constituents would know. If it was a political junket, the
constituents would also know that.
81-24~
CitZ~al~, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 17, 1981, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Overholt, having attended the Conference in Washington in 1979, stated
his experience was that the staff people both in Washington and from the City
found it was very beneficial for the elected official to meet the Federal staff,
the people with whom they dealt daily, to show support and interest in the
things they were doing. If there was no large purpose to be derived from his
going, he had plenty of demands on his time, rather than going to Washington.
The Mayor stated this was a departure from what they had specifically accom-
plished since he had been on the Council in 1974. Perhaps if they were going
to involve themselves as a Council along those lines, they should reconsider
a much more aggressive participation nog only in the National League of Cities,
by seeking committee appointments etc., but also joining and participating in
other organizations such as the U. S. Conference of Mayors. Up to this point,
they had adopted a low key attitude. He reiterated he was suggesting that
they give consideration as ~o how far they should go. They now had a favorable
administration back in Washington and he, for one, felt they should capitalize
upon that to whatever degree they could improve life and the economy in the
City.
Councilman Bay stated they should all be thinking about the matter.
Mayor Seymour then asked the City Manager to provide for the Council's information
what would be involved relative to a more committed involvement in the National
League of Cities, as well as a committed involvement to the U. S. Conference of
Mayors and other such conferences as well.
Councilman Roth stated that they might also conmider more aggressive action in
the California League of Cities where he felt that more could be done than in
National. He stated that many of them had not been participating in anything
statewide because of the policies established by a prior Mayor and Council
Members in 1974, not to leave the boundaries of Anaheim.
In concluding, the Mayor reiterated that they wanted to look at the participation
in all arenas and that the City Manager submit a report to the Council so that
they could determine what general direction they might take.
RECESS - CLOSED SESSION: Councilman Seymour moved to recess into Closed Session.
Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (5:32 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Seymour called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (6:23 P.M.)
112: PETERSON VS. CITY OF ANAHEIM: On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded
by Councilman Roth, the City Attorney and Kinkle, Rodiger & Spriggs were
authorized to settle Orange County Superior Court Case No. 28-12-95, Peterson
vs. City of Anaheim for a sum not to exceed $2,500. MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURnmENT: Councilman Seymour moved to adjourn to Wednesday, February 18,
1981, at 7:00 P.M., for a work session with the Planning Commission. Councilman
Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (6:24 P.M.)
