Councilwoman Kaywood voted "no". Councilman Roth was absent. MOTION CARRIED. 129: SET UP OF FIREWORKS STANDS: Councilwoman Kaywood stated she noted a couple of weeks ago that fireworks stands seemed to be going up earlier than she had ever noticed in the past. If there was nothing in the Ordinance requiring a specific time, she wanted staff to research the matter to see whether perhaps two weeks before the Fourth of July would be adequate time to set the stands in place. It might be that they encouraged the illegal fire- works activity and the tragic results from bottle bombs and all other such devices which caused fires. 81-910 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 23, 1981, 1:30 P.M. City Attorney William Hopkins stated there was nothing in the Ordinance relating to the timing on erection of stands, but a requirement that the selling of fireworks be restricted. Such a provision could, however, be added to the Ordinance. Councilman Overholt asked if the charities themselves erected the stands; Mayor Seymour believed that they were probably erected by the manufacturers of the fireworks. City Attorney Hopkins stated they could inquire as to who erected the stands. Councilman Overholt felt that the timing might impinge upon the charities if they were too restrictive. As long as they were going to have the sale of fireworks, they should make it practical. Councilwoman Kaywood commented it was too bad that the sale of fireworks was used as a fund raiser when it had so many detrimental side affects. Councilman Bay stated that he did not know that the safe and sane fireworks were contributing to fire problems, but that the illegal fireworks were res- ponsible. Councilwoman Kaywood contended that even a sparkler could easily start a fire if it made contact with a wood shingle roof. Mayor Seymour stated, on the other hand, he recalled a year ago when the matter was discussed, the Fire Chief, in providing, a report indicated that all known fires were as a result of illegal fireworks and none of the fires he was able to investigate were a result of safe and sane; Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she did not recall that as a statement. The Mayor thereupon requested that staff provide the Council with a copy of that report. 106: CONTINGENCY PLAN - FISCAL YEAR 1981-82 BUDGET AS A RESULT OF THE BASE- BALL STRIKE: Mayor Seymour stated that he knew the City Manager was preparing a contingency plan relative to the subject and asked when that plan would be available for the Council to study prior to the Council meeting next Tuesday. City Manager William Talley stated that the contingency plan would anticipate various scenarios and he had not planned to wrap it up until sometime on Monday, June 29, because he felt it would effect the revenues through September. The budget the Council would be adopting on Tuesday would have to be modified depending on how long the strike would last and when they would want to get into work sessions to make determinations on some of the items. The Mayor stated that he did not want to take action on the budget or the con- tingency plan until such time as they had an adequate opportunity to review it. If they reviewed the plan on Monday afternoon or evening for action om Tuesday~ that would not provide sufficient time. 81-911 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 23, 1981, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Talley stated the plan would reflect all the money they could lose if the strike were prolonged, and it would be broken down into four major increments. The first would probably be the effects through June 30, 1981, which they believed, with some adjustments, could be handled as part of the current fis- cal year. The next logical increment would be if nothing happened through the All-Star break and then through the homestand ending early in August when the insurance would run out, and then, if it ran that long, probably for the year. They would then make certain suggestions. The magnitude of the problem was somewhere in excess of $1.5 million. They would perhaps present to Council cost reductions at the Stadium, maybe some new revenues, capital improvement reductions and possible service reductions of $2.5 million, so that the Council would not be precluded from choices. It would probably take several weeks for them to decide what they might want to do. He did not know if on June 30 they would want to make a move based upon a total cessation of the season. The 10 departments were working with all deliberate speed. The Mayor asked with the budget documents and numbers they had seen so far, would there be anything new or different relative to that budget for approval on Tuesday. Mr. Talley answered the only thing new and different would be the fact that the sales tax came in $886,000 under the proposed budget, whereas they had anticipated approximately ~550,000 under. It would be his recommendation that they consider lowering next year's sales tax estimate by approximately $400,000 and they would mitigate that by the revenues from cigarette taxes which came in approximately $50,000 higher and thus they could raise next year's by $50,000. They also had a $110,000 improvement from the State budget being passed, resulting in a net loss of approximately $240,000. They might want to consider that in mid-August when the assessment roll was available to make a better judgment on total revenues--S125,000 was a little over 1% of the sales tax estimates, leaving a total problem of approximately $1.75 million. Mayor Seymour asked again~if he (Talley) would making any recommendation for action next Tuesday relative to the budget, other than the action already recommended; Mr. Talley answered "no". The Mayor stated, assuming they approved the budget in its present form with the understanding that it may require a contingency plan in late July or August, would they have proceeded with the new budget to any degree that would preclude some opportunities for decision making on a priority basis. Mr. Talley felt that next Tuesday the Council would say that any budget enhancement they had already approved, they might want to direct him not to install until they had gone over the matter entirely. In their last action, the Council passed a number of such items which they might want to review collectively to see if they wanted them implemented. 81-912 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 23, 1981, 1:30 P.M. Mayor Seymour emphasized that he did not want to walk into Tuesday's meeting being asked to make decisions of that type without having had the opportunity to study the matter. Relative to the enhancement of programs the Council passed upon, it might be that some of those enhancements would remain in the budget with other items being removed instead. He was pleading for time in which they could do their homework. Mr. Talley stated they were trying to give them more dollars than they would need as he previously explained. He felt that anything other than the enhancements they passed were going to require changes in the current budget. Mayor Seymour asked, if they were going to wait until August to finalize a contingency plan and if at that time they wanted to eliminate an item pre- viously approved, would they receive a response from staff indicating it was too late to do so. Mr. Talley answered "no", they would never get such a response. The only time that would ever occur was if they elected to cut some capital project out after issuance of a contract. Mayor Seymour stated there were some new hire positions in the budget and those might be filled by then. One alternative obviously was to put a freeze on new hires. Mr. Talley stated that he indicated in staff meetings that he would not recom- mend to Council putting a freeze on new hires, but would rather recommend that the Council elect by programs. The Mayor reiterated that he had two concerns: (1) that they were not asked to make a 12th hour decision when they would like to have time to do their homework, and (2) if they did not make a decision next Tuesday that when and if those decisions became.~necessary, they were not precluded total flexibility. Mr. Talley assured the Mayor that they would have all the flexibility that they had today.
