156: POLICE OLYMPICS MEDALIST WINNERS: Detective Jim Watkins, long-standing
coordinator of Police Olympics activities, reported on the 13th Annual Police
Olympics held July 16 to 20, 1980 in San Diego. Thirty officers competed from
Anaheim of a field of 3500 plus officers state-wide and those 30 captured 19
medals. He then introduced the medalists winners who were present at the
meeting.
Mayor Seymour stated on behalf of the Council and all citizens of the City, they
were proud of the men because they were not only fine and outstanding professional
police officers, but also because they took enough pride within themselves to
extend themselves in the Police Olympics Program over and above the call of
duty.
Detective Watkins added that the officers prepared for all of the events on their
own time and at their own expense. He reported that for the International Police
Olympics, to be held in Nassau County, Long Island New York, August 20 to 24, 1980,
all the officers would be paying their own way. However, they would be seeking
some donations because it was going to be very expensive. The Police Department
was now looking at the logistics for the possibility of using City business time
for that trip.

168: STREET NAME CHANGE FROM LINCOLN AVENUE TO OLD LINCOLN AVENUE: Changing
the street name for that portion of e~ating Lincoln Avenue located between
Anaheim Boulevard and Olive Street to Did Lincoln Avenue, effective August 1,
1980.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she had a ~roblem with the proposed change in that
the original name of the street was Cem~er Street. Even today, there was still
a portion of the street in the east am~ the west of the City called Center
Street and, for historical purposes, i~ would make the most sense to change it
to Center Street. She was aware that the merchants requested that it be "Old
L~ncoln Avenue", but as with people na~ "Jr.", she maintained there would be
constant confusion. In order to differ~atiate, a person could not say Lincoln
anymore, but Old and New Lincoln. She r~lterated for historical sake and to
preclude confusion, she preferred the ~mme Center Street. While "Old Lincoln"
would possibly be short-term solution relative to the merchants stationary, it
would be a long-term confusion.
Councilman Roth noted that Mr. Don Lee, a businessman on "Old Lincoln", was
present and perhaps could share his thoughts relative to the businessmen's
standpoint regarding the name change.
Mr. Don Lee, owner of Jackson Drugs, explained that the merchants in the area
did sign a letter, which was sent to C~ty Manager Tailey, expressing their interest
in having the street called "Old Llncol~ Avenue". The Pr0j~ct Area Committee
(PAC) also adopted a resolution asking that it be called "Old Lincoln". The
merchants considered the name of Center Street and decided against it for the
opposite reasons to those of Councilw~m Kaywood. In directing a newcomer
to Center Street, a problem would aris~ in the fact that they would find that
portion of Center Street west of West ~r~et and then there would be nothing
in between for seven blocks. Then there~as a short section of Center Street
to the east with nothing for 12 blocks thereafter until approaching State
College Boulevard. Such a situation w~ld be far more confusing. As well,
anyone who had lived in Anaheim for more than five years would be able to relate
to "Old Lincoln Avenue", whereas in order for anyone to remember Center Street,
they would have to had lived in the C~ for 20 years or more. They felt it
far less confusing to call the street '~ld Lincoln" for just that reason.
80-931
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980, 1:30 P.M.
Another reason was the expense to the businessmen, in his case, all his adver-
tisement bags of which he had about 10,000 in stock. They could still utilize
those if the only change was to Old Lincoln, but a change to Center Street would
cause mass confusion. Also involved were business cards, stationery and other
advertising which they contracted for, for the whole year, and such advertising
would still be indicating Lincoln Avenue.
For the foregoing reasons, Mr. Lee and the other businessmen who had also considered
other names were requesting that the street be named Old Lincoln Avenue. He
also noted that there would be no businesses on New East Lincoln Avenue.
Discussion then followed between Councilman Overholt and Mr. Lee relative to
advertising deadlines for the Yellow Pages, etc. At the conclusion of discussion,
it was determined that a short delay in reaching a decision on the matter would
not be detrimental in meeting those deadlines.
Councilman Overholt then explained that he had received telephone calls relative
to the issue, particularly one person who had lived in the City all her life who
was very concerned in losing the name of Center Street, meaning the center of
downtown Anaheim. He was concerned that anyone who wished to be heard on the
subject had that opportunity. Some of the "oldtimers" felt it was a mistake
to have changed the names of streets in the first place because they lost their
heritage. With due respect to the business merchants in the downtown, some
people still knew Lincoln as Center Street which it was for I00 years or so.
He reiterated he was concerned that everybody would have an opportunity to
express themselves and apparently, the first time there was any opportunity
to do so was when an article appeared in the newspaper that it was going to be
presented at the Council meeting today. After other people present had an
opportunity to speak, he would make the motion that the matter be continued
to give all interested people an opportunity to write in or be heard, since
there should be more expression of opinion.
Councilman Roth stated he was deeply concerned about the business community and
how Redevelopment had impacted the particular group of merchants involved. He
~had a problem in beseiging them with more problems. The request was a mild one
for the merchants who were trying to survive, and he was inclined to move ahead
and support the request of the business community since they were most highly
impacted.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt moved that the matter be continued one week to enable
others who might wish to express themselves, either by letter or in person, to do so
when the Council again considered the matter at that meeting. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Roth stated that they should receive input
from PAC in the meantime and also from any others interested in retaining the
proposed name change to Old Lincoln Avenue and not just the opposing views.
A vote was then t-aken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
104: FORMATION OF STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT 1980-2 - TRACT NO. 1859:

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29, 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
128/175: 1979-80 WRITE-OFF OF UNCOLLECTIBLE UTILITY ACCOUNTS: Authorizing
the write-off of Uncollectible Utility Accounts totalling $463,330.58.
Councilman Overholt moved to authorize the write-off of Uncollectible Utility
Accounts totalling $463,330.58, as reco~anended in memorandum dated July 21,
1980 from the Public Utilities Board. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the
motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay asked what percentage of return did the
City experience in relation to the sum collected by the collection agency on the
above accounts.
Mr. Ed Alario, Assistant Utilities General Manager, stated that the agency received
50% of what they collected and the City received 50% as well.
Councilman Bay then stated that considering the uncollectible total of $463,000,
he understood that the uncollectibles were a very low percentage compared to
the private sector. Last year according to the report he read, over $475,000
worth of uncollectibles U~re turned over to a collection agency from w~ich the
City received $12,232 which implied that they collected approximately $25,000
or 5%. He wanted to know if that 5% was a good response on a sum that large,
or should they be looking for a new collection agency.
Mr. Alario answered that they had the same feeling, and at the present time they
were receiving proposals from other agencies. They would be coming back to the
Council in approximately 30 days regarding that matter. The dollar amount had
increased immensely merely because of oil prices and it was possible that they
might find a better deal. They were also considering, as some other utilities
had done, utilizing more than one agency at a time on a random basis which
would result in a competitive situation.
Councilman Bay also asked if there was a trend relative to the Uncollectibles
involving a certain segment of customers and also if they had considered looking
at the possible need for larger deposits or better collection methods.
Mr. Alario felt a larger deposit would bring losses down. Relative to collection
methods, that presented a public relations aspect since the West Coast was not
as stringent as the East Coast. The percentages of write-offs in the East were
less; however, in the East they did not even allow a customer to be billed the
second time. He reiterated they were much more stringent in their collection
procedures, as well as deposit requirements.
During the course of discussion, the Mayor noted that Mr. Alario indicated the
median uncollectible bill to be $85 to $100. He asked the advisability, there-
fore, of taking that to a Small Claims Court if for no other reason but to get
a judgment. Once a judgment became a public record, when the person sought
credit somewhere else, that would be picked up, and they would thus have a
need to satisfy that judgement.
Mr. Aiario stated they could look into that and go to Small Claims Court, for
instance, with 100 claims at a time. The actual average write-off was $52, the
year prior $45 and the year before that $36. The median was closer to $85 con-
sidering some of the larger accounts. The biggest total write-off, however, was
in the residential area.
80-935
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth suggested that they might get together with Los Angeles and
San Diego Power as well as Southern California Edison and share a "wanted"
list; Mr. Alario stated that unofficially there had been correspondence to
that effect.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
127: GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND FOR STORM DRAIN CONSTRUCTION: City Attorney
William Hopkins presented three resolutions prepared at Council direction (see
minutes of July 1 and July 22, 1980) relative to placing the subject issue on
the November ballot. He then recounted the information contained in the July 21,
1980 letter from Bond Counsel Rourke & Woodruff (see minutes July 22, 1980) and in
concluding, stated that the three resolutions would implement the placing of
the measure on the ballot, but it also required approval of the Senate Consti-
tutional Amendment to authorize General Obligations Bonds, if ~pproved by two-
thirds vote of the electorate of the local agency. Proposition 13 (Article XIIIA
of the California Constitution) prohibited local agencies from issuing such bonds
at the present time.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she obtained figures as to what the cost would
be to the average resident--for a $100,000 home, it would be $18 a year or $1.50
a month, and for what might be considered the average single-family home in
Anaheim at $125,000, it would average $2.00 a month. She wondered if those
figures could be included in the wording on the ballot.
City Attorney Hopkins answered that they had obtained approval of Bond Counsel
on the wording used in the proposed resolutions, but he could obtain a further
opinion if desired.
Councilwoman Kaywood also asked if they could include the wording that the $10
million bond issue would leverage the amount to the City of $20 million; Mayor
Seymour interjected that they did not have any guarantee of such leverage.
City Engineer William Devitt stated that they did not have such a guarantee and
he never meant to imply that there was any guarantee of such leverage. Histor-
ically, it was probably generally true, but with financing being much more
difficult throughout the area, he would question being able ~o obtain that
kind of leverage. However, they would make every effort to get the maximum
amount of leverage, but he would not be prepared to make a statement there was
a certainty of doing so. It was a possibility they would work hard to achieve.
Councilman Roth stated that the Council would have to authorize $12,000 in tax-
payer funds for the election and even if the measure received a two-thirds vote
of the citizens, it would still require a two-thirds vote of the people in the
State to amend Article XIIIA of the State Constitution; City Attorney Hopkins
confirmed that it would require the approval of State Constitutional Amendment
No. 26.
Councilman Roth further stated that he was not opposed to the necessity of storm
drains, but had a feeling that the people in the community first wanted to see
City streets opened up again, such as Broadway, Santa Aha Street and Anaheim
Boulevard, and the flow of traffic improved in the downtown Redevelopment area
before embarking on any more big projects and tearing up anything else. He felt
they were putting the taxpayers in double jeopardy.
80-936
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she saw no conflict between downtown Redevelopment
and storm drains. They were constructing storm drains regularly as much as possible
but each year were falling behind and with continually rising costs, were falling
farther behind. A number one concern was potholes and chuckholes in the streets
of the City that followed heavy rains and also areas where there was poor drainage
causing erosion of the streets under normal circumstances. She reiterated that
a new street with good drainage could last 15 to 20 years, whereas with poor
drainage, the life of a street was five years. It was a matter of economics
and covering their investment since they had allocated an additional amount
in the budget for street maintenance.
Relative to double jeopardy, everyone was surprised to learn that complete local
control had been taken away if voters could no longer vote on General Obligation
Bonds on local issues. Obtaining a two-thirds vote would be difficult, but if
two-thirds of the City's voters were willing to have something done, but.it was
not permitted to them through the provisions of Proposition 13, then they were
all left in triple jeopardy. She maintained there was no better time and no
cheaper time for the people to have the opportunity to vote on the issue. The
November election was a combined General Election and they already had two local
issues on the ballot with.the possibility that there wou%d be no additional cost
to add the storm drain measure. The maximum cost was $12,000 at any rate, whereas
the cost of a Special Election would be $80,000.
Councilman Bay stated that he had long been a promoter of storm drains in the
City, storm drainage in the budget, and long before Proposition 13, a proponent
of storm drain bonds. However, the Statewide Amendment to the Constitution
required a two-thirds vote, which he doubted would pass, along with a two-thirds
local vote in a November election which he felt more properly belonged on the
ballot in a Spring election, which was also recon~nended by the committee who
studied storm drains during the last three years. Thus, without speaking against
.storm drains, he personally felt this was a bad time to put the issue on the
ballot. If they did get a two-thirds vote in the City and the State Constitutional
Amendment failed, he wondered how much explaining to the citizens they were going
to have to do if they passed the local issue and the State issue failed. Due to
the new fact, he was not going to be able to support putting the storm drain bond
issue on the ballot in November.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she wanted the issue on the ballot in April of
1978 and believed it should have been on the ballot at that time. The first
available election would be in November and there would not be another election
until April or even June of 1982. They did not have the money for the storm drains
needed at present and thus would get farther behind. She felt the people had
the right to make the decision and the wording was clear that they would also
have to vote on the Constitutional Amendment.
The Mayor then questioned the City Clerk relative to the cost to the City fo~
the present issues (i.e., method of electing the Mayor and the Municipal Election
date) to be placed on the November ballot, and was the $12,000 figure an accurate
one.
City Clerk Linde Roberts explained that the cost from the County alone would
be approximately $12,000 for the two issues already placed on the ballot. The
cost to add another measure to the ballot would depend upon ballot placement.
80-937
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29, 1980, 1:30 P.M.
Also to be considered would be the costs for election supplies and mailing. The
larger the voter's pamphlet is (English and Spanish), dependent upon the number
of measures, the arguments for and against the measures, and the rebuttal argu-
ments, the more expensive it would be for printing and handling and mailing. To
place the storm drain measure and the other two measures on the November ballot
would cost approximately $20,000 total.
After further discussion on the subject of election costs between the Council
and the City Clerk, Mayor Seymour stated that his suspicions led him to believe
that the storm drain bond issue would not cost the City a penny more to place
it on the ballot if they were prepared to proceed and place the other two issues
on the ballot. Thus, he did not believe the cost arguments of Councilman Roth
and Bay were valid. Also, he was totally dismayed upon reviewing the City
Attorney's opinion that in the fact that he did not know they voted away local
right when they voted for Proposition 13. He felt once the public found out
that they did so, they might feel entirely different. It seemed only reasonable
to him with the two other measures going to the ballot in November, there would
not be any additional expense and that question was eliminated as far as he was
concerned.
Speaking to the issue, as he said publicly before, his sense of the community
was that they were not prepared to pay $1.50 or $2.00 a month, as reported
by Councilwoman Kaywood. On the other hand, his opinion had been wrong before,
as well as that of pollsters. He believed the citizens should be given an
opportunity to make those decisions and, therefore, he could support placing
the matter on the ballot from a purely economic standpoint, taking the politics
out of it, as well as the anti-government spending emotionalism. There was no
doubt in his mind, and he would ask anyone on the Council to disagree, that it
was cheaper in the long run to construct storm drains and install them as soon
as possible, considering escalating costs, than it was to continue to pay to fill
chuckholes and repair streets on an annual basis and forever have to do that.
He could not oppose the system of allowing the people to decide and thus was
going to support placing of the storm drain issue on the November ballot.
Additional discussion then followed between Councilman Roth and the City Clerk
to further clarify the cost issue of placing the measure on the November ballot.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Overholt stated that he heard the
City Clerk saying that they were going to have an election in November that would
cost between $12,000 and $20,000 whether or not they placed the storm drain issue
on it. He would prefer to have the election in the Spring, but they were not
going to have another election in the City until April or June of 1982 and that
was a long time to wait for the people to have an opportunity to determine
whether they wished to handle the storm drain problem the way it should be
handled. If they went forward with the election in November, they would find
that the additional issue which could represent a substantial overall long term
savings to the taxpayer, would not cost one dime to have it on the ballot.
Although he was not optimistic about its carrying, Councilwoman Kaywood offered
to lead the charge and along with a good education process to inform the electorate
and a good campaign, that the measure would have a chance. Intermountain Power
Project was a good example of such a process. If it was not going to cost
anything, he questioned what the people would then lose to have the opportunity
to express themselves, while on the other hand, they might have a lot to gain.
80-938
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Regarding the Constitutional issue, they had an opinion from Bond Counsel and
there was a measure on the ballot to clarify the situation. They instead should
be concerned about the local situation and testing the will of the people of
Anaheim as to whether they wished to finance storm drain construction in the
next two years in that fashion. Thus, he was going to support placing the storm
drain bond issue on the November ballot.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 80R-326 through 80R-328 for adoption.
Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 80R-326: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM,
CALIFORNIA, ORDERING, CALLING, PROVIDING FOR AND GIVING NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MUNI-
CIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN SAID CITY ON NOVEMBER 4, 1980, FOR THE PURPOSE OF
SUBMITTING TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF SAID CITY, A MEASURE RELATING TO AUTHO-

BE HELD ON SAID DATE.
RESOLUTION NO. 80R-327: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
REQUESTING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO CONSOLIDATE A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM WITH THE STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 4,
1980, PURSUANT TO SECTION 23302 OF THE ELECTIONS CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
RESOLUTION NO. 80R-328: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
AUTHORIZING CERTAIN OF ITS MEMBERS TO FILE A WRITTEN ARGUMENT FOR AND AGAINST
A BALLOT MEASURE RELATING TO AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINANCING STORM DRAINS.
Before a vote was taken, City Attorney Hopkins stated that the wording that
· would appear on the ballot was contained in the resolutions and if approved
would be the wording that would appear on the ballot. The wording in the
various arguments would be supplementary to that. Also, the third resolution
required the names of the members of the Council who might wish to write the
arguments for or against.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she would be glad to write the arguments for and
hoped that her Council colleagues would join her in signing that.
Councilman Overholt stated that after he saw the argument, he would be pleased
to join her, if he agreed with it. He was certainly going to agree with the
positive aspects of it; Mayor Seymour stated he, too, would reserve his judgment
in signing the argument subject to the wording.
Councilwoman Kmywood stated she would be pleased to have help in writing the
argument for; Councilman Overholt stated he would be glad to offer help.
City Attorney Hopkins asked if there was any member authorized to write the
argument against; Mayor Seymour then asked Councilmen Roth and Bay if either of
them would like to write an argument against. Neither Council Member indicated
he was going to write an argument against.
80-939
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29, 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
City Clerk Roberts then noted that August 15, 1980, was the deadline for sub-
mitting arguments.
Mayor Seymour asked for clarification that the two resolutions he originally
offered (see minutes March 18, 1980) changing the City election and the method
of electing the Mayor were in order, if he was authorized to write the pro
arguments and what needed to be done between now and August 15th.
City Clerk Roberts explained that the resolutions were adopted on March 18, 1980,
and they called the election and requested consolidation and also that he was
authorized to write the arguments for, which are also due August 15, 1980.
A vote was then taken on foregoing resolution.

176: ABANDONMENT NO. 79-16A--ABANDONMENT OF AN UNNAMED PUBLIC ALLEY: Located
east of Lemon Street, extending from Sycamore Street to Alberta Street.
City Attorney Hopkins explained that the previous resolution, 80R-268, contained
a condition, "That gates acceptable to the City Engineer shall be installed where
said alley enters Sycamore Street and Alberta Street." Mr. Carl Anderson,
applicant, contacted him and the City Engineer concerning the matter and in-
dicated the people in the area no longer desired to have a fence or gate in-
stalled. Accordingly, they prepared a resolution that would approve the aban-
domment and the wording indicated the gates that had been specified be deleted
inasmuch as Mr. Anderson did not feel they would be useful at this time.
Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 80R-329 for adoption. Refer to

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2086: Application by
Lease-All La Palma, to permit industrially-oriented commercial sales and office
use on ML zoned property located at 4081 - 4095 East La Palma Avenue.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC80-100, declared the
subject exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR and further denied Con-
ditional Use Permit No. 2086.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by the Leaverton Company
on behalf of Lease-All La Palma, and public hearing scheduled and continued from
July 22, 1980 to this date.
Miss Santaiahti described the location and surrounding land uses. She outlined
the findings given in the staff report which was submitted to and considered by
the City Planning Commission.
Councilman Roth noted that the Planning Commission denied the CUP because the
uses were too general in nature. He asked if staff had reviewed the new pro-
posal containing specific uses.
Miss Santalahti stated that she had reviewed the specific uses (see Exhibit No. 1,
Specific List of Uses--CUP No. 2086, one of four exhibits submitted with appeal
letter dated July 7, 1980 from Lease-All La Palma by the Managing General Partner,
made a part of the record) and she did not have a problem with any one of the
uses listed. In connection with other zoning actions, that type of list had
been approved.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or applicant's agent was present and desirous
of being heard.
Mr. Tony Natali, Leaverton Company, representing Lease-All La Palma, stated
that the letter and exhibits stated their case quite well, but if there were
any questions, he would be glad to respond.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked what the problem would be in having their project
all industrial, the entire 25 acres.
8O-941
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29, 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Natali answered that basically it was all industrial. The uses they were
asking for were complementary to the industrial uses and serviced the heavier
type user within the area. Their park was a 25-acre site, 20 acres in Anaheim
and 5 in Placentia. It ranged from, in Placentia, heavy industrial uses
and larger buildings, and coming toward La Palma, they went into a multi-tenant
type of unit. They had two other such parks in Anaheim, Lease-All Anaheim and
Lease-All Orangethorpe. Lease-All Anaheim was granted similar type uses that
worked within the park. Their experience indicated the uses were very compatible
and the tenants were there who needed that type of space to service the larger
industrial users.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if he would have a problem in leasing to only the
large industrial users.
Mr. Natali answered "no" and the CUP would make it easy to lease. They were not
interested in furniture stores or that type of business, i.e., the retail business.
They did not want nor would there be any retail. He also confirmed for Council-
man Roth that they would do nothing that would jeopardize their $2.6 million
investment. From their experience in managing such parks, they had gone through
the cycle and knew where the problems were and what worked well. To bring in
something detrimental would be against their own best interests.
Councilman Bay stated as he understood, the difference between their appeal and
the hearing before the Planning Commission specifically was the list contained
in Exhibit 1. He assumed by that specific list under the CUP, only those uses
would be allowable; Mr. Natali stated that was correct.
Councilman Bay then stated as long as he was stipulating to that list, from his
standpoint, when he compared it against the wording of the changed ordinance in
the industrial area on CUP"s, he failed to find anything on the list that would
change the intent of the ordinance as it stood presently. In his mind, every
use listed was supportive of industrial uses and that was the intent of the
ordinance the way it was changed.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak either in favor in opposition; there
being no response, he closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Bay, seconded by Councilman Roth, the City Council finds that this project
would have no significant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impact
due to the approval of this Negative Declaration, since the Anaheim General Plan
designates the subject property for general industrial 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 sig-
nificant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impacts and is, there-
fore, exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Bay offered Resolution No. 80R-330 for adoption, reversing the findings
of the City Planning Commission, due to the detailed list submitted (Exhibit 1)
by the applicant, subject to the following Interdepartmental Committee recom-
mendations:
80-942
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
i. That the owner(s) of subject property shall pay the traffic signal assess-
ment fee (Ordinance No. 3896) in an amount as determined by the City Council,
for commercial buildings prior to the issuance of a building permit.
2. That all proposed auto and/or truck repair uses and storage shall be con-
ducted wholly within the buildings.
3. That the proposed commercial and industrial uses shall comply with all
signing requirements of the ML (Industrial, Limited) Zone.
4. That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with
plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim marked Exhibit Nos.
1 through 12.
5. That Condition Nos. 3 and 4, above-mentioned, shall be complied with prior
to final building and zoning inspections.

106/174: ADMINISTRATIVE USE PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENTS TO FEDERAL GENERAL REVENUE
SHARING: To consider amendments to Federal General Revenue Sharing receipts for
FY 1980-81.
Mr. Ron Rothschild reported that the hearing, represented an Administrative Pro-
posed Use hearing, as required under Section 5115 of the Federal Revenue Sharing
Regulations. Certain requirements for public participation must be met before
any amendments or ratifications could be made to the Revenue Sharing Plan as
adopted. The plan already adopted in the 1980-81 Resource Allocation Plan
consisted of approximately $1.8 million. The amendments would not disturb any
of those appropriations, but due to the increased revenue estimates and the
utilization of fund balances, there was another $690,000 being added, essentially
in three different projects: (1) Signal modification in the area of Anaheim
Stadium at $290,000, (2) Stadium restroom addition at $175,000 and, (3) Lincoln
Avenue resurfa¢ing--from Citron to I5 at $225,000.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak relative to the amendments to Federal
General Revenue Sharing; there being no response, he closed the public hearing.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Overholt, adjustments
to the Federal General Revenue Sharing receipts for Fiscal Year 1980-81 were
approved as articulated. MOTION CARRIED.

of the subject Lease Agreement was continued one week, as requested by Staff.
MOTION CARRIED.
105: RECONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENT TO ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL (OCHPC):
Requesting reconfirmation of the appointment of Mr. William Postma to the Assembly
of Delegates.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that one comment in the OCHPC letter of July 15,
1980 was inaccurate in that Billie Bird was no longer an alternate and she
had resigned around Christmas.
City Clerk Roberts stated that the Health Planning Council was notified of that
resignation.
Councilwoman Kaywood then stated that they should be appointing an alternate.
She also noted in reading some of the accomplishments of the Planning Council,
which list was attached to their letter, she did not know if the City was rep-
resented at the time of some of them because she was not certain Anaheim would
have voted that way. She was very concerned because she had received complaints
before that the City's representatives were not being notified when various meet-
ings were held although she had not talked to Mr. Postma. Notification of meetings
did not seem to filter down.
Councilman Bay asked if they would need an alternate in responding to the letter;
City Clerk Roberts answered that an alternate was optional, but they had one in
the past. The Council was asking for a reconfirmation of the delegate only at
this time.
Councilman Bay stated if they were going to reconfirm the whole letter, they
would have to note the exception to the letter because they were stating some-
thing that was not correct.
The City Clerk stated she would resend a copy of the letter notifying the Council
of Mrs. Bird's resignation so that their records would then be complete.
On motion by Councilman Overholt, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the Council
reconfirmed the appointment of Mr. William Postma to the Assembly of Delegates.
MOTION CARRIED.
RECLASSIFICATION NO. 79-80-5 - VARIANCE NO. 3105 - EXTENSION OF TIME: Mr. Daniel
L. Salceda, Anaheim Hills, Inc., requesting an extension of time to Reclassification

a 99-unit condominium subdivision, with a waiver of maximum structural height;
property located on the south side of Nohl Ranch Road, west of the proposed
extension of Meats Avenue.
Councilman Roth moved to approve the extension of time to Reclassification No.
79-80-5 and Variance No. 3105, to expire August 21, 1981. Councilman Overholt
seconded the motion.

but wanted to know the answer to that question.

the recommendation of the City Clerk an agreement was authorized with the Anaheim
Bulletin for legal publication services for the period ending July 31, 1981.
MOTION CARRIED.
105: SENIOR CITIZEN COMMISSION - MINUTES OF JUNE 9~ 1980: Councilwoman Kaywood
noted in the subject minutes that the Commission had decided to send a letter
regarding a Federal Law and the Council subsequently received a copy. She wanted
to point out that in the future, any letters written by the Commission or any
action that they wanted to take in such regard be routed through the
Council first, not merely a copy after it had gone to the press and various
other boards. They went through the same situation with the Hill and Canyon
Municipal Advisory Committee (HACMAC) where they had taken some action which
was contrary to what the Council had in mind.
Councilman Roth noticed the same situation, but presumed that Steve Swaim,
Community Services Manager, liaison to the Commission, must have helped them
type the letter. Thus, they should instruct Mr. Swaim as the coordinator to
pass such correspondence by the Council or at least get permission from the
Council.

City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M~
105: ANAHEIM GOLF COURSE ADVISORY COMMISSION - MINUTES OF JULY 18~ 1980: Mayor
Seymour stated that the Commission raised some concerns relative to the Golf
Courses and the possibility of that they be turned over to California Golf for
management. He was particularly challenging the numbers that staff provided
relative to potential savings, followed up with the article in the Anaheim
Bulletin by Joe Buchanan raising similar concerns, followed up with his tele-
phone ringing, primarily by golfers, as to what the City was doing. His concern
was that the entire subject and the work that had been considered to date be
the subject of a public hearing with both the City Council, as well as the Golf
Course Commission, and any and all members of the public to have the opportunity
to provide input.
Relative to the subject itself, as well as some concerns that had been expressed
as to what would appear to be, or what some believed to be, a rather narrow
selection process for discussion, his interest was to ask his colleagues to join
with him in setting a public hearing where the entire subject could be aired.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if they were at the point where they could have a
meaningful public hearing, or does more info~mation need to be gathered.
City Manager Taltey stated that currently proposed was that in accordance with
Council's direction several years ago, there was supposed to be a multi-year
effort to reduce the operating costs of the golf courses to a break-even basis.
That had not occurred. Subsequently, on a number of occasions, the concept of
going out for proposals had been discussed. Currently, staff was developing
and recently presented to the Golf Course Commission for comment a proposal that
could be sent out to the private sector. It was the intent of staff after the
Golf Course Commission had commented, that the specifications would then be
forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation that they be circulated to
individuals and corporations in the business of operating and maintaining golf
courses. At the time responses were received, a public hearing or any other
forum could be held, however the Council wished to handle it. At this time,
the only item before the Commission to his knowledge was the adequacy or com-
pleteness of the scope of the proposal to be forwarded to the City Council.
Currently he was waiting for staff to complete that report to submit it to the
Council which basically would indicate whether or not the private sector could
perform the service on a more cost efficient basis than the City. Further, to
his knowledge they were not negotiating with any one individual or firm, and it
would be his recommendation to widely solicit proposals.
Councilman Roth noted in the last paragraph on page 1 of the Golf Course Commission
minutes, "Mr. Liegler distributed an early draft of an operating lease proposal...".
The Council did not have a copy of that draft and thus could not weigh its
contents. He asked the intent of that early draft.
Mr. Talley stated that he did not know. The only thing he had seen was a staff
recommendation which basically enumerated the various categories of maintenance
and frequency levels. It was his understanding that was to be submitted to the
Commission for comments on adequacy before a suitable document was presented to
the Council, whether it was encompassed in an operating lease proposal, or
whether it was an operating lease proposal that had been gratuitously submitted,
he did not know.
80-950
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
Counci!m~n Roth stated the way he read it, it was actually his (Talley's) memor-
andum.
Mr. Talley answered "no". His memorandum of June 20, 1980 contained a series
of proposed budgetary reductions that might be undertaken in the 1980-81 Resource
Allocation Plan in response to Council requests. Exhibit "K" of that memorandum
showed the tentative operating balance of the golf courses which were understated
as they found out later, by approximately $80,000. The comment was made, if they
could reduce that defiency to zero and possibly secure a premium from an operator
the City could save as much as $419,000. However, for estimating purposes, they
did not think that such a change in operation could happen for at least six
months. Therefore, they used a figure of $195,000 if the Council wanted to
consider that as an alternate. Proposition 9 did not pass, they did get the
funds in, and thus none of those were implemented. That was merely one exhibit
in a series regarding the Resource Allocation Plan.
Councilman Roth stated that in recent play at the Anaheim Hills Golf Course,
several people approached him and asked about Bill Talley's forcing them to
go to California Golf. Since he had no documentation, he could not answer
them.
Mr. Tailey answered that he had found on a number of occasions, everytime he
tried merely to bring information to the Council, some scare tactics were used
by individuals unknown to him. To the best of his knowledge, he had never met
with anybody from Calfornia Golf or seen a proposal at least in the last year or
two. He did not think he could recommend dealing with a single vendor under
any circumstances. His opinion was that they should come up with scope documents,
send those to all interested parties, and then evaluate the proposals and make a
determination as to whether the public interest would be better served by con-
tinuing the present operation or by changing. He did not have any information
to make a recommendation at this time. They had tried for three years and it might
be appropriate to consider the private sector, but that would be a Council Policy
decision.
The Mayor asked if he was aware of any communications, perhaps not by him, but
members of his staff, exclusively with Caifornia Golf.
Mr. Talley answered that he was aware they had talked to indiviudals and perhaps
California Golf. The only name he had heard was a Mr. Price. He had not personally
seen any proposals, nor was he aware of any proposals being submitted.
The Mayor stated, therefore, that neither the Council, nor Mr. Talley knew if
somebody else on staff might be in the process of discussions, preliminary as
they might be, with California Golf as a vendor.
Mr. Talley answered that what he thought was happening, was that California
Golf was a firm that had numerous courses, including public courses under oper-
ation and maintenance contracts. It would seem very logical that any large
vendor would probably be contacted to get the documents that other public
agencies prepared on maintenance levels, scope, contracts and so forth to
assemble specification documents.
80-951
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980, 1:30 P.M.
The Mayor asked if he then thought it was probably so that some type of conversa-
tions, questions back and forth, had taken place between staff and California
Golf.
Mr. Talley stated he was positive that members of both the City Manager's office
and the Golf Course and Family Foresome on a continuing basis over the years had
conversations with those people.
The Mayor asked if that was at the exclusivity of others; City Manager Talley
answered "no", not to his knowledge.
The Mayor stated that was the allegation being made by many, and they were accusing
the City Manager as having made a deal with California Golf and it was just a
matter of washing it through the system. However, he believed that to be untrue;
Mr. Talley confirmed his understanding that it wasn't true.
The Mayor reiterated that in the interest of everybody that the matter ought to
be surfaced and totally aired in public and that was his interest in calling
for a public hearing.
Mr. Talley stated that he could speak clearly for the Administration and that
categorically his recommendation was going to be that they adopt specifications
to be sent out to anyone interested. Once the proposals were received, the
public hearings or whatever the Council wished, would be appropriate. His
purpose was merely to provide them with information on alternatives, but it
seemed for some reason or another that goal was being restrained and had been
for quite some time.
After further discussion, between the Mayor and Mr. Talley on the last pdint
raised, the Mayor stated that in speaking with one of the Commissioners they
were upset to say the least at the question being posed without proper format
and proper public announcement and with the process that had taken place. In
reading the minutes, they raised some very real questions he was certain that
staff could answer. Those, as well as the others, should be answered in a
public hearing.
Councilwoman Kaywood suggested that since they did not have any proposals to
bring forth at a public hearing, that a joint workshop might be better.
Mayor Seymour was agreeable as long as the public was present. He did not care
whether they called a workshop session or a public hearing, but he wanted to get
the public, the Council and the Golf Course Commission together before concluding
any process that to some appeared to be predestined.
Councilwoman Kaywood reiterated her concern that if they held a public hearing
and there were no proposals to present, it would be too soon.
The Mayor clarified that he was asking for a public hearing to discuss the
operating lease proposal and the data that had been developed thus far. The
Commission was also questioning the $419,000 savings allegedly to be gained by
outside management of the courses. They questioned what kind of courses did
they want in the City--privately managed but not maintained, etc. Those were
the types of questions that needed to be answered by the Council after some
public deliberation.
80-952
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JulZ 29~ 1980~ 1:30 P.M.
After further discussion between the Mayor and Councilwoman Kaywood, Council-
woman Kaywood repeated that she did not see the purpose of having a meeting
until they knew what they were talking about. Otherwise, another meeting would
have to §e set thereafter.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that a public hearing be set to discuss the
questions raised regarding an operating lease proposal of the City's two golf
courses. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated it should be a workshop
where they would be asking the Commission what they wanted, rather than talking
about a hypothetical proposal.
Mayor Seymour stated it did not matter if it was a workshop or public hearing,
but that it include the Council, Golf Course Commission and the public. He
thereupon amended his motion that the public hearing be a public workshop.
Councilman Overholt was agreeable.
The timing of such a workshop was then discussed during the course of which,
Councilman Bay stated that before they attempted to set a date, he had several
questions. If they were talking about having a workshop and/or public hearing
to discuss the matter, he was concerned from the standpoint that if they were
going to discuss the question of policy on whether they wanted to use outside
management for the golf courses, that was one thing. If they were going to
discuss whether or not they wanted to look into the economics of doing so, that
was a second issue. The third issue might be that they were putting the cart
before the horse. If it was the intent of staff to start gathering information
on the economics question, he could understand the concerns that preempted
discussing the policy of whether the Council wanted to consider that or not.
That might have stirred some of the reactions they were getting. If they had
.a workshop or public hearing without any data from outside management firms,
he questioned how they could totally discuss the issue or question from the
standpoint of eoc~nomics, or choosing if they wanted to continue subsidizing
golf play at $6 a play with City Management, maintenance and quality control
courses going to outside management with the possibility of charging more green
fees, with perhaps not as good maintenance, etc., although those were assumptions.
If staff had not had an opportunity to secure that economic information, he did
not know how they could discuss those in a workshop or public hearing.
During further discussion, Mr. Talley confirmed that he had never been contacted
by any member of the Golf Course Commission and if they requested any information
regarding any of. the matters, he would be very pleased personally or send the
Finance Director to talk with them. Perhaps the figure was not $419,000. The
staff report to Council stated that if the $219,000 proposed deficit for 1970/80
could be eliminated and a proposal granting $200,000 for the privilege of operating
and maintaining the golf courses was received, that would represent a net savings
to the City of $419,000. That was an "if" and that was all it said. In point of
fact, the golf course lost about $300,000. Thus, if somebody were to take the
courses over for $1, the City would be that far ahead; however, they did not
have any proposals. He could not go back and argue one way or another, other
than to say if they did write up a proposal stipulating that whoever took it
over would have to maintain it at the same level, and the bid was such that the
80-953
City Hall, Anaheim,. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1980, 1:30 P.M.
City saved $300,000 or $400,000, that was something they would want to do. How-
ever, absent a bid or specifications, they were dealing in conjecture. As far as
he knew when he talked to Mr. Liegler sometime before the meeting, as was done
with every other board and commission, he was merely going to solicit their
input before submitting a staff report.
In concluding, Mayor Seymour stated that members of the Golf Course Commission
and public that had spoken with him felt strongly that if a private concern was
engaged and contracted with, (1) maintenance would deteriorate, (2) they questioned
if there was, in fact, going to be any significant savings to the City, and (3)
that the golf courses under the management of Tom Liegler had never looked better
and had never showed a better position since their inception. Perhaps they ought
to have a meeting to discuss nothing more than the question of whether or not
the golf courses would be managed by the City or private companies.
Councilman Roth suggested that they get dialogues started as to whether the City
should seek free enterprise to see if they could do it, what was their past
experience, and what courses they had maintained. He liked to look at beautiful
courses such as the Anaheim Hills course. They also had a responsibility to the
taxpayers if the figures from the City were correct that golf play was being
subsidized at $6 a player which seemed high. Perhaps it was justified, and they
should consider it as another park amenity. The Mayor stated he would like to
have 'that exact question answered in a public format.
Councilman Roth stated he would never object to a public hearing, but they should
look at the monetary situation involved. He would not support private enter-
prise taking the courses over and letting them deteriorate. The basic question
should be, shall they solicit proposals from free enterprise.
Discussion followed between the Council and Mr. Talley relative to a date for
the subject workshop/hearing. Mr. Talley stated he would like to give the Council
a report next week when he could assemble staff to discuss the situation. He
would then report to the Council where they were and how long it would take to
do something and subsequently the Council could make a determination.
Councilman Overholt suggested that they vote on a hearing and set the date for
that hearing in one week.
A vote was then taken on the fore§oin§ motion, MOTION CARRIED,

Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood asked if they would be informed
of what the existing signs were.
Miss Santalahti stated the current Code regulations stated that if, for instance,
in an industrial zone, a commercial use was proposed and a CUP processed, that
commercial usage would then have the rights of commercial signing. What they
were saying with the proposed ordinance was that they would be under the industrial
or underlying zoning unless they made a specific sign proposal at the time the
conditional use was processed.
Councilwoman Kaywood then asked if it was an existing use, would they then be
approving what was in existence.

Miss Santalahti stated she did not think so unless staff totally missed the sign.
When there was an existing illegal activity, they asked that they show the signing.
What they had been doing on all their CUP's was requiring as a condition that
they comply with the industrial signing regulations.

tional action.
142: BREA ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO APPOINTMENTS TO CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS:
Mayor Seymour noted that at the previous week's meeting, Councilman Roth reported
on the subject ordinance. He asked his intent relative to that ordinance.
Councilman Roth explained how the matter came to his attention (see minutes July 22,
1980) and that he did not have a copy of the ordinance until the City Attorney
handed one to him before the meeting today which he asked also be routed to all
the Council for comments. The City Attorney stated that, in his opinion, it
would take a Charter change although he (Roth) did not necessarily share that
opinion. It should be looked at; it had merits; and he did not see anything
wrong with it. It paralleled some of the ideas used by the Board of Supervisors
in making their appointments and four out of five Council Members in Brea con-
sidered it to be a good ordinance. He did not introduce it or recommend its
adoption last week, but merely asked the City Manager to acquire and make copies
for the Council in order to get feedback.
The Mayor stated he read it and considered it to be "political garbage". He
was amazed that Councilman Roth would support or introduce such a subject as
many times as he had heard him speaking against "machine" politics, "Chicago"
politics and "Tammany Hall" 'type politics. As he understood, after reading and
studying the ordinance, it would permit him, as a Council Member, to appoint his
appointee which smacked of favortism and political payoff. The process they
had used in the past, which worked exceptionally well, even though their last
appointment was difficult and trying, it was purely in the minority. The vast
number of appointments had been made with unanimity and with less politics in
the process. He felt the past service of the commissioners and appointees
approved by the entire Council rather than one had served the City well.
Councilman Roth stated he did not agree with the Mayor's statement. To get
anybody appointed it took three votes and thus, rather than going out and making
agreements with other people to support either this or that person, that smacked
of a different type support. If a Council Member had an appointee, that person
better be good because of the reflection on the Council Member who appointed
him. He did not think it smacked of political payoff or favortism at all.
Mayor Seymour stated in Councilman Roth's words "better be good" meant that an
appointee should do exactly as instructed, that was totally wrong.
Councilman Roth stated that was not the intent--the idea was that no deals had
to be made if people were appointed by the respective Council Member.
Mayor Seymour countered that the only "deal" they would be making was with the
individual appointed. As long as a majority of the Council spoke, there was
some safety in that democratic process, but when they individually had that power
that would corrupt.
80-958
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29,. 1980, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth stated he had not had an opportunity to review the ordinance in
depth and felt that any type of improvement that could take it out of trying to
get two additional votes might be healthy. He was not trying to change the
Council or their thinking.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she did not see the ordinance, but the newspaper
article. She asked if he was saying that if one person made the appointment,
that same person could also remove someone, or what would it take.
Councilman Roth stated if would take a four-fifths vote to remove an appointee.
Councilwoman Kaywood then stated she joined somewhat in the Mayor's amazement
The concept was not new and it was something they had with a prior Mayor, and
they subsequently had to remove two of his appointees. They previously had
that practice and had seen the political payoffs. The best person did not get
appointed necessarily.
Councilman Roth reminded Councilwoman Kaywood that the appointees had to get
two additional votes to be appointed.
Councilman Overholt stated from his reading of the ordinance, it meant that each
commission was made up of individual appointees of individual Council Members.
He agreed with the Mayor that when appointments had been made, at least in his
two and one-half years on the Council, they had tried to get a consensus and
then after the votes were cast normally the Council would cast a unanimous
vote for the appointee. In the last appointments, they received applications
from numerous people. The process, although difficult, he thought was to be
commended because so many citizens did apply. He did not know why Councilman
Roth was so concerned with the manner in which the last appointments were made.
Mayor Seymour also pointed out that the ordinance was so political that they
even changed the dates of appointments to~ coincide with a time period immedi-
ately following City elections.
No further action was taken on the matter.
162: COMMUNITY PRIDE PROGRAM: Mayor Seymour referred to the request received
from Mr. Gene Beyer, Director of the Community Pride Program. He asked Mr.
Beyer to visit with him, the bottom line being, Mr. Beyer was looking for Anaheim
to contribute $2,500 to the program under the auspices that a certain segment
of the City was served by the Orange Unified School District. The way they
intended to fund it was, Orange would make a $9,900 commitment, Villa Park,
$1,000 and Anaheim, $2,500. That breakdown was based upon student population
within the City boundaries. He was not asking for action today but an expres-
sion of how the Council might want to handle the matter.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she needed time; Councilman Bay stated that prior
to any presentation, he would want to know whether the other cities involved
had made those commitments.
The Mayor requested the City Clerk to have Mr. Beyer present at next Tuesday's
Council meeting.

AFTER RECESS: Mayor Seymour called the meeting to order, all Council Members

108/112: REQUEST OF GUY R. LOCHHEAD: Councilman Seymour moved to direct the
City Attorney to inform Attorney Guy R. Lochhead that his client's request (Camelot-
Anaheim Card Club) would not be placed on the Council agenda. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
123: EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT FOR CITY MANAGER WILLIAM O. TALLEY: Councilman Overholt
moved to direct the City Attorney to prepare a two-year, six-month termination
clause, employment contract for William O. Talley to be dated July 29, 1980,
and effective July 25, 1980. Councilman Bay seconded the motion.
Mayor Seymour again expressed his extreme displeasure over the fact that the
City Manager is the only City official who feels he needs a contract Co perform
the duties of his office for which he is well paid. In his opinion, that trans-
lated to insecurity on the part of the City Council and the City Manager.
Councilman Roth stated he was pleased with the City Manager's performance in
bringing the Rams to Anaheim, negotiating for a major hotel adjacent to the
Convention Center and developing a workable and readable budget and if a con-
tract would encourage the City Manager to continue in such a mode on future
activities, he, for one, was going to change his position and vote for the
contract.
Council Members Kaywood and Overholt both expressed their gratitude for the many
accomplishments Mr. Talley had made for the City and commended him for his un-
selfish dedication in so doing. Councilman Overholt stated that if, in fact,
the City Council and the City Manager differed~philosophically, there was a
six-month termination clause in the proposed contract which would 'permit the
City Council to seek a new City Manager and the City Manager, ~6 §eek employment
elsewhere.
Mayor Seymour responded that in his opinion the six-month termination clause,
should it be exercised, would cost the City approximately $30,000 and that
presently the City Charter provided for removal of the City Manager which was
far less expensive.
Councilman Overholt stated that the Mayor had expressed himself on several
occasions prior and he did not expect him to change his position today.
To the motion previously offered, Councilman Seymour voted "no". MOTION
CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Roth moved to adjourn. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
