114/158: COUNCIL POLICY RELATING TO APPRAISAL OF EXCESS CITY-OWNED LAND TO BE SOLD.
On motion by Councilman R~tt, seconded by Councilman Roth, the Council adopted
Council Policy No. 215 as proposed by the City Engineer in his covering memorandum
dated February 27, 1979 as follows:
"It is the policy of the City Council that the following guidelines shall be
followed in determining whether to obtain appraisals of City-owned property:
Unbuildable parcels: Consisting of former well sites and irregular-shaped parcels
containing insufficient square footage to be independently developed.
The Real Property Section will prepare an opinion of value all parcels of land
proposed to be sold. If the valuation established by this opinion is less than
$50,000, the Real Property Section will commence negotiations for the sale of
said parcel to the adjoining property owners.
Should a point of impasse occur during negotiations wherein the offer submitted
by the property owner is 75 percent or less than the estimate of reasonable
value established by Staff, Staff shall follow the following procedure:
a)
The Real Property Section will obtain estimates of appraisal cost from two
or more independent professional appraisers. If the appraisal costs are
reasonable, and the cost of same would not defeat the intent of receiving
a more reasonable price, the Agent will re-contact the property owner to
determine his interest in acquiring said parcel at a figure to be deter-
mined by the appraiser.
79-285
City Hall.~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979, 1:30 P.M.
b) If the property owner is in accord with and agrees to the above procedure,
an outside appraisal will be ordered.
c)
Should the property owner submit an offer to purchase that exceeds 75
percent of the estimate of fair market value established by Staff, the
proposal offered will be submitted to the Council together with Staff's
recommendations for consideration.
Buildable parcels: Consisting of parcels which in the opinion of Staff are suitable
for residential, industrial and/or commercial development.
The Real Property Section will prepare an opinion of value covering each site
proposed to be sold up to and including a range of value not to exceed $50,000.
Upon completion of the valuations established for each parcel, a list will be
prepared and submitted to Council for consideration, approval and authorization
to Staff to offer said parcels for sale at fair market value established by Staff
to governmental agencies for open space consideration as called for in Government
Code Section No. 54220, and if no interest is indicated by said agencies, offer
said parcels for sale to the public by sealed bid.
Buildable & Unbuildable Parcels in Excess of $50,000.
Valuation:
Pursuant to Section 1222 of the Charter of the City, an independent professional
appraiser shall be obtained prior to sale of City-owned property, in each case
where the estimate of value indicates that the fair market value of the subject
property would exceed $50,000.
Departures from this Policy: Departures from the above-noted policy must be
approved by the City Council."
MOTION CARRIED.
153: WAGE RATES FOR PART-TIME UNREPRESENTED JOB CLASSES: Councilman Roth offered

140: FEES FOR USE OF MULTIPURPOSE ROOMS AT CITY LIBRARY FACILITIES: Mayor Seymour
stated he was going to oppose the recommendation contained in memorandum dated
March 7, 1979 from the City Librarian recommending a $5 fee per room for each use
of a Library multipurpose room. He maintained that the proposal was inconsistent
with Proposition 13 and represented a user fee to offset Proposition 13 losses.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that Mr. Jarvis made the statement that those who
wanted a service should pay for it.
The Mayor answered that he would vote in favor if someone could show him where
$2000 was going to be deleted from the budget elsewhere.
M~. Bill Griffith, City Librarian, explained that he made the recommendation and
reviewed it with the Library Board who concurred. The use of the rooms required
Library Page time for set-up which was a drain on the Library Page budget for which
there was no reimbursement from other sources. They had discussed the situation
over the years and long before Proposition 13, but the events following Proposition 13
precipitated a renewal of their thin,king on the matter. The recommendation was
consistent with charges made by Parl~ anti Recreation as well as other libraries
i~ the County.
7:ouncilman Overholt stated the diff~r~c~ was that the groups using the rooms
~ere using them for their ~wn pa~;i~ ~a~r i>urpose and not necessarily as a service
to the City. As an example, sche,~ ~i~t~gct rooms were made available to private
groups subject to the nominal cost of the janitor opening the room and closing
it after use. This was the concept involved in the recommendation under discussion.
He did not consider it a user fee as defined by the Mayor to make up for the
deficit of Proposition 13.
The Mayor emphasized that it was a user fee and people met in those rooms for years
before Proposition 13. It was a City service and they did not have to pay for it
before. He reiterated he would not mind the charge but if that was done, the budget
should be reduced $2,000 in another area.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979, 1:30 P.M.
After a further brief discussion, for purposes of clarification, between Council-
woman Kaywood, Councilman Kott and Mr. Griffith, Councilwoman Kaywood offered
Resolution No. 79R-139 for adoption as recommended in memorandum dated March 7,
1979 from the City Librarian approving the setting of fees for use of multi-
purpose rooms at City Library facilities in the amount of $5 per usage of each
multipurpose room. Refer to Resolution Book.

123/101: LOS ANGELES RAMS TRANSACTION - AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENTS AND FINANCING
PLAN FOR ISSUANCE OF BONDS: Citz Manag~.~r William Talle~ briefed the Council on
his memorandum dated March 8, 1979 relative to the three proposed Resolutions,
the first of which was the amendment of the Exhibition Agreement between the
City and the Los Angeles Rams Football Company to provide an additional $400,000
per year income to be used as additional base rental on the facility lease between
the City and Anaheim Stadium, Inc. This would completely cover the additional
cost caused by the contract being bid at the amount of $26,140,000 instead of
the estimated $22,000,000, les~ the other attending costs.
Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 79R-140 for adoption as recommended in
memorandum dated March 8, 1979 approving an amendment to the Exhibition Agreement
with the Los Angeles Rams dated November 21, 1978. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 79R-140: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A FIRST AMENDMENT TO EXHIBITION AGREEMENT
WITH THE LOS ANGELES RAMS FOOTBALL COMPANY, IN CONNECTION WITH THE ANAHEIM STADIUM
EXPANSION AND AUTHORIZING THE b~YOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE SAME ON BEHALF OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM.
Before a vote was taken, Mr. Talley explained for Councilman Kott that the additional
$400,000 would come from a 60¢ fee added to each ticket sold and would be trans-
mitted to the City at the end of the season. If the total should add up to less
than $400,000, the Rams would transmit that difference to the City at the close
of the year. If more than $400,000~ then that overage would be remitted to the
Rams. It was a guarantee of $400,0~1, no more, no ]ess, for 35 years.
Mayor Seymour also elaborated in detail on that aspect of the amendment to the
agreement for Councilman Kott.
Mr. Talley further explained for Councilman Kott that the only difference in the
amendment to the Exhibition Agreement was the addition of the words, "as otherwise
required" on Page 2, Line 9, as suggested by Mr. Strenger, Attorney for the Rams.
79-288
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Talley read the proposed first amendment and explained to Mr. Strenger
that he was satisfied with it as presented so long as it was understood that
the sole intent was to provide the City with $400,000 in additional income
beyond all of the payments provided in the basic agreement.
Councilman Roth was most appreciative of the effort put forth by the City
Manager, the Mayor and Councilman Overholt to bring the matter before the
Council today as presented. For a while it seemed there was a possibility
that the Rams would not be coming to Anaheim and he therefore commended them
for the fine job they had done.
M . Talley explained that since the bids were opened, the team who worked on the
matter, consisting of the Finance Director, Executive Director of Public Works
and the General Manager of the Convention Center, Stadium and Golf Courses,
worked approximately 90 hours a week to get the package into shape. Those
people, together with the Assistant City Manager, had been performing yeoman service.
They also agreed they would have a lower interest rate because of a superior
presentation by the financial and lega] consultants and City staff. They had
gone through the complete contract and change orders so that the project from
the first year on would not only br~ak even, but also would make money so that
they would not have to use any of the guarantees the Rams offered the City.
Councilwoman Kmywood reiterated as she had in November that the management team
and the liaison members should have photos taken for posterity because of the
job they had done in bringing the Rams to Anaheim.
A vote was taken on the foregoing Resolution.

~qouncilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 79R-141 for adoption approving an
amendment to the agreement for the Los Angeles Rams pertaining to the lease of
the Juliette Low School. R~fer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 79R-141: A RESOLUTION Of~ IHE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT WITH
THE LOS ANGELES RAMS FOOTBALL COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE JULIETTE LOW
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND AU%HOR!ZING YU~ MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE SAME.
Before a vote was taken Mayor Seymour explained for Councilman Kott relative to
~is question concerning the funding ~or the improvements of the Juliette Low
School that it had been clearly stated that the $500,000 necessary for the
improvements would be generated as a result of interest accrued or earned on
Bond Funds. Mr. Talley interjected and stated that exceeded $2 million total
interest. The Mayor continued that the $500,000 would be taken out of that
79-289
City Hall~ A~he. im~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
$2 million and devoted to the Juliette Low School. The amendment before them
today was quite simple. It merely gave the Rams the responsibility of contracting
for the improvements. The $500,000 would then be paid on presentation of bills
for expenditures incurred and when that amount had been paid, then the Rams
would continue to pay all remaining costs to completion.
Mr. Talley explained they were selling $33 million worth of bonds and would
have delivery of that money around the 23rd of the month whereupon they would
immediately invest that money where it would earn interest until the contractor
and architect called for payment and until everybody was paid which would be
in about two years. The estimate was that somewhere around $2,500,000 would
be generated in interest before it was all paid out. They would have the first
half million perhaps in the first four months. At the end of the project, they
expected to have $2 million in interest beyond that. When they sold the bonds,
they sold them at $2 million less, otherwise the amount would have been $3.5 million.
A vote was taken on the foregoing Resolution.

Mayor Seymour then stated that he had a special plaque produced to present to
Councilman Overholt to recognize the great efforts he put forth throughout the
negotiations with the Rams. As the press and public would recall, it was a
79-290
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ .1979~ 1:30 P.M.
tripartite negotiating team with Councilman Overholt, City Manager Talley and
he (Seymour) along with Staff assistance. They were faced with a $4 million
short fall, or overage in the construction contract for the Stadium, resulting
in a $400,000 annual short fall. It was no small task to get the final amend-
ment drawn and signed. It was interesting to note that even the largest trans-
actions were penciled out on scratch paper and this was no exception. As they
negotiated with Carroll Rosenbloom at his home, the amendment was scratched out
on paper which, in essence, was a $14 million piece of paper. He read the
document dated February 28, 1979, a copy of which was incorporated in a plaque
format and he then presented it to Councilman Overholt.
Councilman Overholt then stated he had a plaque prepared as well for the Mayor.
Before presenting it to him, he expressed his pleasure in having been part of
the negotiating team with the Mayor and the City Manager and to have shared
the Mayor's enthusiasm, disappointments and concerns over the past month.
He thereupon presented the Mayor with a plaque containing the original of the
piece of scratch paper with the amendment that was agreed to by Mr. Rosenbloom
on February 28, 1979.
142/170: SOLAR SHADE CONTROL ORDiN,~CE: Councilwoman Kaywood asked if the pro-
posed ordinance wo~ld affect anybody wb~ presently had a solar panel.
City Attorney Hopkins first explained that the recommendation was that the City
exempt the provisions of the requirement of the Public Resources Code, Chapter 12,
Division 15. As of now, if someone did have a shrub or tree that would cast a
shadow on a solar collector, they would be in violation of State law.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that although they realized the value of the trees,
on the other hand, they were being urged to go to alternate methods of energy
and they should be encouraging that as well. She therefore had a problem with
the situation.
Mr. Hopkins stated that at this time, it was his recommendation to adhere to the
tree preservation aspect and if ~n the future a problem arose, the Code could
~lways be changed by repealing the ordinance.
>~iss Santalahti, Assistant Director of Zoning, explained that two of the current
laws required that easements be acquired for solar installation ahead of time.
People had to actively seek protection when they installed solar panels. She
~greed tha~_ the exemption wa~ a goo~ idea to institute at this time.

114: SISTER CITY PROGRAM - PARTICIPATION IN CARROUSEL OF MUSIC: Mayor Seymour
explained that Betty Lillis, member of the Sister City Committee, was present
today relative to the budget submitted for the Carrousel of Music dated February 19,
1979. Mrs. Lillis and the Committee were looking for Council help and participation
out of the Council Contingency Fund to assist in funding that budget.
79-291
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Betty Lillis stated she was representing the Mito, Japan Sister City
Committee and explained that the program with Mito had been ongoing since
1975, the purpose being a meaningful cultural exchange between the two cities.
This year the Caracolas Girls Chorus from Mito would be participating in the
Carrousel of Music Program at the Convention Center May 1, 1979 where a
reception would be held after the performance and to which all the Council was
invited. Forty-five Japanese people would be visiting Anaheim as part of the
Sister City Cultural Exchange Program, and she asked the Council to assist
by approving the budget submitted. Through fund raising activities, they planned
to reimburse the City for at least one-half of that budget.
Mrs. Lillis then answered a line of questioning relative to the Carrousel of
Music and Sister City Program as posed by Councilwoman Kaywood, and Councilmen
Kott and Overholt, at the conclusion of which, Councilwoman Kmywood stated
she agreed with the value of the Program because it was extremely worthwhile,
but there was also Proposition 13 to consider. Every time a user fee was proposed
to recover a portion of the loss, they had a problem. She wanted to know from
the City Manager the total cost of the Sister City Program and what it was
going to cost in the future.
Councilman Overholt stated he would appreciate any background that could be offered.
The way he viewed the budget presented, the major portion was dedicated to the
event at the Convention Center. He wanted to know if the music item of $1000
was Convention Center-related as well.
Mrs. Lillis explained that they had since been able to cut that item to a certain
extent by copying some of the music and they would cut down in every way possible.
The Mayor stated he was supportive of the Program which had been in effect since
1975 and each year the City had assisted in one form or another with the Program.
He did not know how it had become mixed up with user fees. Two weeks prior, the
Council approved an expenditure of slightly over $1,000 for Sister City Program
activities for the year 1978. As well, he had led a delegation to Mito where
no travel expenses were paid for anybody, and he paid his own expenses, as well.
C~*~ncilwoman Kaywood noted that $1,000 was expended for gifts; Mayor Seymour
reiterated, however, that the $1,000 was the total cost for everything in 1978.
Mrs. Lillis confirmed that was a]] that was left to be paid since they had
paid all other expenses through fund raisers.
Mayor Seymour stated that Mrs. Lillis was asking for some underwriting for the
Sister City Program and specifically the Carrousel of Music Program. He was
inclined to ask the Council to approve the expenditure up to $5,000 with the
~nderstanding that the Si~ter ¢iity ~mm~t~ee would raise funds to not only
pick up the balance of the budget, [~u~ aiso anything they raised in excess of
~hat portion to be returned and applied to the $5,000 so that the maximum
e×posure to the City would be $5,000.

C.~ty Hall, Anaheim, California ~ COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1979~. 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Lillis stated that was their intent.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour thereupon moved to approve an expenditure of up to
$5,000 from the Council Contingency Fund for the Carrousel of Music Program
featuring the Caracolas Girls Chorus from Mito, Japan and the Sister City
Committee was to raise funds to cover the anticipated budget of $9,930 with any
monies raised in excess of that amount to be returned to the City and applied
towards the $5,000. Councilman Kott seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood asked if there would be parking fees.
Mrs. Lillis stated, if possible, they did not want to have to charge for parking.
The Mayor stated that historically parking had not been charged for the Carrousel
of Music.
Councilman Overholt stated that before he voted, he wanted Mrs. Lillis to know
that his penetrating questions on the budget presented should not be interpreted
as being less than totally supportiv~. The bulk of the budget had to do with the
program at the Convention C~nt~' a~ ~f ~!~at was successful, it would be well
worth it.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Later in the meeting, Mr. David Simms, representing the State of California,
Department of Transportation, 120 South Spring Street, Los Angeles spoke on
the matter and stated the reason he was appearing was his opposition to the
abandonment of the frontage road serving their property. Their property was
excess land located approximately at the end of the proposed frontage road
abandonment. The road was constructed by the State and relinquished to the
79-294
City Hall .... Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
City. He explained that the particular portion involved had 100 feet of frontage
on the street to be abandoned. He merely wanted to voice their objection to the
abandonment of that street without providing access for their parcel to whatever
realignment was to take place. Access was not available to Anaheim Boulevard
from a traffic engineering point of view. They believed that the parcel map
which had been submitted did not provide any access to the parcel of land whatsoever.
They had offered it for sale to the British Motor Car Company to no avail. In
concluding, he stated if the Council would like any further details as to what
their contentions were either legally or factually, he would be happy to submit
a letter to incorporate into the minutes of the meeting.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked for clarification that they were not successful in
getting the British Motor Car Company to purchase the property and if they were
the only reasonable entity who would use that parcel.
Mr. Simms stated if there was access to the property, it could be sold to a private
party.
Mayor Seymour stated if they did what Mr. Simms requested, they would be creating
value for the State's property.
Mr. Simms agreed. No further action was taken by the City Council.
176: PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT NO. 78-23A: In accordance with application

121: HEARING - CONDEMNATION: To consider the finding and determination of public
interest and necessity for acquiring and authorizing condemnation of certain real
property located on a portion of the right-of-way at 320 South Timken Road, as
required for sewage disposal and drainage purposes, for the Timken Road Sewer
Easement Project. (Said property belonging to Mr. and Mrs. William A. McNames)
Fhe Mayor asked if anyone wished to be heard relative to the proposed condemnation.
79-296
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979, 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Mitzy Ozaki, 340 Timken Road first stated that it would be redundant for
her to say that there was a health hazard existing in the subject area and
rather than address herself to that issue, she wanted to elaborate on the extent
of the problem. The odor was extremely offensive and embarassing when people
came to visit; all the families in the area including the McNames could not
accommodate their laundry water into the septic systems; there was an overflow
of raw sewage on lawns and streets and a back-up of sewage into their homes;
all activities were frozen in their homes, they could not run their dishwashers
or use their toilet facilities; they limited running of water, etc. They had
to change their daily pattern of living as a result of all the problems they
were having. The main septic system included three cesspools and they had no
other alternative as far as installing any other cesspools on the main system.
Mrs. Ozaki continued that a great deal of ruckus was made about the value of the
road to the McNames. Since Timken was a private road, two years ago a group got
together and decided they needed to have a road agreement. They encouraged the
McNames to attend the meeting, but they refused to attend. The group finally came
to an agreement and submitted documentation to a lawyer and recorded it through
the County Recorder's office. Because of the record rains last year, they needed
to have road repairs made because the road became a public danger. The repairs
were made and the amount to be paid by each family for those repairs was $156.97.
The McNames refused to pay that amount and thus the other residents paid the
balance. The McNames had no interest in the road agreement and refused to partic-
ipate in any maintenance. The cost of the project would be borne by the consumers
and if anyone should hook up without having to share that cost, the rest of the
residents would have to do so.
Mrs. Ozaki also explained that the sewer system would actually be laid underneath
the existing roadway. She could not stress too strongly that since it was being
constructed in that manner, it would in no way encumber anyone's property because
it would still function as a road. As well, any further delays would add to their
costs. The City, through the requests of about 90% of the families in the area,
did some initial work on the project. In 1977, a bid was put out and approximate
costs to the residents at that time were approximately $3,500 per family for the
project. Considering inflation, she believed at this time it would cost approximately
$5,000 or $6,000 per family. If there were any other alternatives left they would
prefer to explore those alternatives because they could think of better ways to
spend $5,000 or $6,000.
In concluding, Mrs. Ozaki stated she favored the condemnation.
Mrs. Pat Light, 335 South Timken Road, stated she was also in favor of the condemnation
and Mrs. Ozaki had summed up the residents' feelings regarding the matter. They
were one of those families who had very serious problems with their cess pools.
The only place they had left to dig a cesspool was on the lower level of their
property which was above their neighbors down below who were already complaining.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to speak; there being no response, he closed
the hearing.

City Hall~ Anaheim, q~lifornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1979, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 79R-147 for adoption as recommended
by the City Engineer. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 79R-147: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
FINDING AND DETERMINING THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY FOR ACQUIRING AND
AUTHORIZING THE CONDEMNATION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY. (MC NAMES).
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Kott referred to letter dated March 9, 1979
just received from Mr. McNames. He wanted to know if he was present.
The Mayor asked if anybody was present representing Mr. McNames; no one was
present.
Councilman Kott then asked if Mr. McNames did not want to dedicate the necessary
right of way, or if he did not feel he was offered enough money for his property?
City Engineer William Devitt stated that he did not want to dedicate the property.
Over the past two years, they had made 23 personal contacts with the McNames. Ail
other property owners required for the construction of the improvement had signed
the necessary documents and the McNames were the only ones who had not done so.
Councilman Kott noted that Mr. McNames claimed that there had been no negotiations
and just one offer of $5 a square foot.
An attorney from the firm of Oliver, Stover and Laskin, the City's Special Counsel,
stated that the location of the easement would appear to make $5 a square foot
sound unreasonable because it was an underground easement located at the fork of
a road and a portion of the property that could never be built on. The market
value of the entire property would certainly not drop $5 per square foot.
Councilman Kott asked if it would require the removal of the chain link fence and
other improvements as indicated by Mr. McNames.
Mr. Devitt stated he did not agree with that contention.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked how quickly the condemnation proceedings could take
place.
The attorney from Oliver, Stover and Laskin explained the procedure which under
normal circumstances would become effective 30 days after service on Mr. McNames.
If they could show urgency, the waiting period could not be more than 3 days.
Councilwoman Kaywood emphasized the situation was an urgent one and a health
hazard.
The attorney then stated that they could obtain a 3-day order for pre-judgment
possession which would then become effective on the fourth day after service.
A vote was taken on the foregoing Resolution.

173: BUS SHELTER PROGRAM: Mr. John Anderson, Associate Planner, briefed the
Council on staff report dated March 5, 1979 pointing out that under an exclusive
agreement that would follow the successful bid on the Type A shelter, the licensee
would install 20 to 25 shelters in the first six months of the program.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if there was a maximum that could be placed on the number
that would be installed.
Mr. Anderson explained there would be any number of cut-off points; however, they
felt confident that their site development criteria would preclude shelters from
being installed in inappropriate places. With the incremental program, they
could get a feeling for where they were going with it and, if necessary, could
amend the criteria to define what the upper limit might be. They felt it might
be somewhat inflexible to set an upper limit at this time.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if there was any way to include something about guaranteed
performance, and haVing built bus shelters before with a good track record.
Mr. Anderson answered "yes" and explained that in the bidding qualifications that
the bidder would, in addition to the five sets of engineering drawings, provide
such documentation in the pre-bid qualification period showing the bidders capa-
bility to perform in the program. The kind of demonstration that would be most
79-2 99
CitM Hall~ AD. aheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979, 1:30 P.M.
acceptable was that they had installed bus shelters in California or at least
elsewhere and in addition show the kind of financial background that would
convince the City Engineer, staff and the Council that they would be capable
of following through with the kind of dimension as called for in the program.
Mr. Herb Eggett, 904 South Bruce Street first stated that he was encouraging
the program as he had for a long time. He maintained the simplest type of
shelter should be accepted and he urged the full size bench. There was no
mandate to his knowledge that it could not be cut off in case someone wandered
in to the shelter with a wheelchair. He found out that when the end panel
where the advertising would be located was opened, that it was possible to
cut off a short section of the bench. However, he urged the full size bench
because one of the major purposes of the shelter was to accommodate people who
wanted to sit down out of the elements.
Relative to the amenities, he again urged the Council that these be limited so
as not to impede the progress and installation of the shelter. He reiterated
that amenities were something that could be destroyed by vandals.
M~yor Seymour stated that he understood Mr. Eggett to be saying three things:
(1) they should not design for the handicapped, (2) a separate post for amenities
was frivolous and (3) a trash receptacle was not necessary.
Mr. Eggett agreed although he clarified that he did not say that they should not
design for the handicapped. However, a suggestion had been made that a piece
be cut out of the bench to accommodate a wheelchair. He maintained that Dial-
a-Lift provided for the handicapped and when he discussed the matter with Bob
Hartwig of OCTD, he was told that not all of those vehicles were being utilized.
Thus, to cut every bus bench in case of use by a handicapped person would be a
waste of time and space. The point to remember was that they were not serving
the handicapped and the Appeals Court had turned down the request that an injunc-
tion be placed against the District to hold up delivery of 65 new buses until
lifts were installed on the fixed route buses. The Court ruled that lifts would
not have to be installed and thus the benches would not have to be cut to accom-
modate wheelchairs. He then confirmed that the amenity package was a waste of
time and the trash container was not necessary.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked for confirmation that when Mr. Eggett was speaking
of not making the shelter accessible to the handicapped, he was referring to
wheelchairs; Mr. Eggett stated that was correct.
Councilwoman Kaywood then stated that what the Court ruled was that the buses could
be delivered without a lift and of the large buses that did have a lift, the lift
di~] not work. Since the OCTD provided Dial-a-Lift and Dial-a-Ride, the handicapped
were well taken care of and D[~l-a-I~Jft went right to the door.
Mr. Anderson then spoke to the concerns raised about the amenities package and
explained that the specifications stipulated that the package was subject to
the approval of the City Engineer and the remainder of the discussion was simply
offered as guidelines. Under those they suggested that the bench should be offset
within the shelter towards the side nearest the oncoming bus. It would do three
79-300
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979, 1:30 P.M.
things - allow the vendor to gain access to the display area; allow for increased
capacity during inclement weather by means of standing; and allow for placement
of a wheelchair should that need arise. The first consideration however, was
that it be a shelter.
Relative to the trash receptacle, his experience through using bus transportation
and the experience of other municipalities was that a trash receptacle was a very
desirable part of the program accompanied by a good maintenance program. The key,
as outlined in the specifications, was that the shelter incorporate either
directly or in a separate area a trash receptacle of adequate size for a give~
location and if found to be too small that it be replaced with one of adequate
size.
Relative to the free-standing module, American Shelter showed one solution they
had for incorporating the amenities for the free-standing modules. Those were
design details which they felt appropriate for the manufacturer to explain as
to how they would be accommodated.
Councilwoman Kmywood asked if the a~enities or the trash receptacle would slow
down the bid process in any way.
Mr. Anderson was of the opinion that they would not slow down the process and
Mr. Bruce Williams of Convenience and Safety Corporation, who was in the Chamber
audience, also indicated the same.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the
draft agreement for the construction of bus shelters with the City of Anaheim
was approved. MOTION CARRIED.

148: REPORT ON NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES CONVENTION: Councilman Overholt
stated he appreciated the opportunity to represent the City at the National
League of Cities Convention, March 4, 5 and 6, 1979 in Washington, D.C. He met
with a number of Federal Agencies particularly those related to possible funds
by way of grants. In his opinion, the greatest value in attending the Conven-
tion was the development of an intimate relationship with Congressman Dannemeyer
and Congressman Patterson and their Washington staffs, as well as Congressman
Badham and his Washington staff, even though he did not represent the Anaheim
area. As well, he could not say enough for the manner in which the Man-in-
Washington office set up a detailed agenda for their stay. The thrust of his
going to the Convention was not to attend the big sessions, but the smaller
ones and to meet with agencies and individuals who could be helpful to the City
of Anaheim.
As well, he noted that in federal legislation, there was an emerging competition
for the massive resources that were available for economic assistance between the
so called "frost" belt and "sun" belt. California was very much in the "sun" belt
and had an allegiance with the southern part of the country relative to federal
attention.
Councilman Overholt also reported on his side trip to Orlando, Florida where he
paid the additional $5 required and visited Disneyland's counterpart, Disney World.
Of interest was the fact that Disney had a solar power company and they were
running an experiment at Disney World in conjunction with private companies, the
thrust being to develop a commercially feasible solar power product.
108: NEW COUNTY OF ORANGE BINGO ORDINANCE: Councilman Roth stated that the County
of Orange had proposed a new revised Bingo Ordinance limiting Bingo to 2 days a
week plus some other restrictions. He asked the City Attorney if he would obtain
a copy of the ordinance after it was adopted for Council review and information
in order to compare it with the City's present Ordinance with the possibility of
making some revision to it accordingly.
114: WELFARE PLAN OF COUNTY OF MIDLAND, MICHIGAN: Councilman Roth referred to
the letter submitted by Mayor Stan Meyer of Buena Park concerning the Welfare
Plan instituted by the County of Midland, Michigan. Mr. Meyer was asking for
support and he (Roth) urged his colleagues to look into the plan that was
implemented and subsequently give some input to the Orange County Board of
Supervisors. Mr. Meyer was trying to get support as well from the Supervisors.
Councilman Roth stated he felt it was an excellent program just in the overview
and that they should drop a note to Supervisor Ralph Clark relative to the
matter.

178: INCREASE IN WATER RATES FROM THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT: Councilman
Kott referred to the letter that the Utilities General Manager Gordon Hoyt sent
to the Water Problems Committee relative to the subject increase in water rates.
He suggested that the City Manager direct the City's representative on the
Metropolitan Water District (MWD) to vote against the issue. He wanted to know
if that action would be superfluous considering the newly formed Liaison Committee.
The Mayor explained that the new committee had nothing to do with water rates,
but only with the installation of the peripheral canal.
Councilman Kott then asked if they could ask the representative to vote against
the issue.
City Manager Talley stated he believed they could ask, but he wanted to know if
the Council wished to make it an official action.
Councilman Kott thereupon moved that the City's representative of the Metropolitan
Water District be asked to vote against the proposed increase in water rates until
they could show justification for such action. Councilman Seymour seconded the
motion for the purpose of discussion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood recommended that they first ask the
representative what was behind the increase.
It was then ascertained through Council discussion that Mr. Keith Murdoch, the
City's MWD representative, was just out of the hospital recovering from a recent
major surgery and he was not yet well enough to appear before the Council. The
Mayor stated however that he did not think an appearance by Mr. Murdoch would
solve anything and although he supported Councilman Kott's motion, it seemed to
him to be superfluous. He felt it was obvious that Mr. Murdoch knew how the City
felt about the increase.
City Manager Talley stated although he had not spoken with him, Mr. Hoyt had
talked to him about the Council's concern, as well as the Public Utilities Board,
and he believed Mr. Murdoch was very clear about the City's position.
No further action was taken on the foregoing motion.
114: PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE STATE: On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded
by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mayor Seymour was granted permission to leave the State
for 90 days. MOTION CARRIED.
148: VACANCIES ON LOCAL COMMISSIONS - LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: Mayor Seymour
reported that some appointments were going to be made by the City Selection
Committee of the League of Cities at their April 12, 1979 meeting. He stated
that the Council should give consideration to the four appointments as follows:
Airport Land Use Commission, Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), Alternate
to LAFCO, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. He was asking
Council consideration as to where they might have an interest in serving and to
communicate that interest to him as soon as possible to get Council concurrence
since subsequently they would lobby the other cities to support Anaheim's candidate.
The appointments were important ones and as elected officials in Anaheim, they
ought to be serving on one or more of those bodies.

150/105: HUMAN NEEDS ASSESSMENT STUDY: Mayor Seymour explained the purpose of
this evening's meeting was to meet with the Community Services Board to hear
Mr. Gene Grigsby of the Planning Group, Inc., make a presentation on the recently
completed Human Needs Assessment Study.
Mrs. Jan Billings, Chairman of the Community Services Board, called the Board to
order. She then introduced the members of the Board who were present and explained
that the Board was proud to be associated with the City of Anaheim and the
Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services at a time when its
position of leadership had demonstrated that they were concerned and responsive
to the needs of the citizens. They had the vision to plan for the future of
the City and they were delighted to be a part of it. She also noted that the
CSB participated in selecting a new Community Services Manager, Mr. Steve Swaim,
an enthusiastic and knowledgable young man who would be an asset to the City.
Mrs. Bill. ings stated that the CSB had applied for two grants to expand the
scope of services within the division and were in the process of completing
a ~omprehensive set of by-laws whicq~ wt~uld provide for clearly defined policies
and procedures. Most recently tbs? ~'~ught before the Council a recommendation
for a Youth Restitution Program and ~cre grateful for the Council's support.
As was evident from the transmittal !et~tt~r attached to the Assessment and Action
Plan dated March 7, 1979, the Board was involved in many programs already
serving hundreds of people. They were present tonight to present the Council
with the fruits of an effort that began over a year ago and to thank the City
Council for funding a project both unique and far reaching in concept. As a
result of that support, they had developed a plan and direction which they
79-307
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
hoped was consistent with the Council's goals for the City and they were eager
to share the results of their efforts. She thereupon introduced Mr. Gene Grigsby
of The Planning Group, Inc., whose research, analysis and extensive sessions with
the Board and the Technical Advisory Committee produced the Human Needs Assessment
in Action Plan for the City (see Human Needs Assessment Report dated December 1978
and Human Resources Element and Action Plan dated December 1978 on file in the
City Clerk's office).
Mr. Gene Grigsby, The Planning Group, Inc., 1728 Silverlake Boulevard, Los
Angeles, first stated that it was a pleasure to be present since it was rare
that a consultant had the opportunity to produce a report not only in conjunction
with the Community Services Board, but also to be able to see the report come
to fruition by making a presentation before the Council. He had experienced
working with many cities in Southern California and with Regional Governments
both in and out the State of California and the work he had performed for
Anaheim was the most personally and professionally rewarding opportunity that
he had. The fact that Anaheim would take the opportunity and have the wisdom
and foresight to fund a study of the nature which was undertaken and to the
extent that it was funded, would bring dividends for many years to come.
He continued that the intent of the study was to try to develop a systematic
approach for the City to understand the concept of social change for the past
15 years and leading into the future and to try to understand what social
change might mean in terms of trying to alleviate and meet the service level
needs of the City's residents. Very few cities had tried to systematically
deal with that concept. The approach they tried to bring the City was one of
not only addressing and being responsive to the here and now, but also the
capability of adapting to change processes. It was a deliberate attempt on
their part to work with the CSB on a monthly basis to introduce to that Board
the concept of a social structure, what it meant, and what happened when
discussing change dynamics. Many people have the notion that Anaheim was
still a city rapidly growing and rapidly increasing its population base and its
bedroom image, but such was not the case. The City was rapidly declining in
its growth rate and changing in its social structure. Anaheim was getting older
as a city with more diversity and with more low income residents coming into the
City. Anaheim was maturing as a city, but it was not unique.
The year-long effort was an attempt to paint a picture of what changes had taken
place in the City and what that m~g¼t mean in terms o£ social service delivery,
needs assessment, current and future activities. As a result of that process,
three documents had been produced - the Needs Assessment process itself which
was a statistical technical document. It was not done in absentia, but chapter
by chapter, graph by graph, analysis by analysis, and discussion by discussion
with the CSB and the Technical Advisory Committee. The second document was the
Directory of Human Services listing the availability of all human services in
the County of Orange that provided ~rvi. es to the residents of Anaheim. The
third document was the Human Resources Element and Action Plan. The purpose
of the document was to provide a framework for future activities. It started
79-308
City Hall,. ~na~eim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
by indicating some quality of life goals that the CSB and Technical Advisory
Committee felt could serve as a guideline for future activities for the City
in terms of developing activities in the realm of human services. If those
goals were to be adopted by the City, they would provide a suggested set of
policies and activities that the City could undertake. It was to the credit
of the CSB who anticipated that such goals must be broad in nature and capable
of serving many constituent groups and reviewed on an ongoing basis by the
City Council and the CSB to see if they were doing the job intended. The
whole approach was designed to allow the City to manage changeover time.
Mayor Seymour stated that it was a very thorough report and Mr. Grigsby was to
be congratulated.
Councilwoman Kaywood referred to Page 9 of the Human Resources Element and
Action Plan under Quality of Life Goals, Goal No. 2, Suitable Living Environment -
"The City shall provide the opportunity for all residents to live in suitable
environments of their choice." She wanted to know the meaning of that goal,
since the City did not have that kind of luxury.
Mr. Grigsby answered that the intent was to try to deal with the quality of the
living environment, the question being, what dialogue could the CSB, in concert
with many community groups and the City, enter into over the next year that would
address the idea of a suitable living environment. They must define what the
realities of that would be and how they could or could not live with those realitie~
Councilman Kott asked if it meant the choice was there within the framework of
one's financial capabilities.
Mr. Grigsby answered in part yes, but they also had to consider if there were
any discussions that would preclude that choice. Thus, dialogue must take
place on both of those issues.
Mayor Seymour stated as he understood the action the Community Services Board
was asking the Council to take, was to approve the two recommendations on Page 3
of the March 1979 covering memorandum and on Page 4 the Quality of Life Goals
in the Human Resources Element and Action Plan. Mrs. Billings confirmed the
Mayor's understanding. He then continued that although he did not get into the
detail of the assessment, he spent considerable time on the Human Resources
Element and Action Plan which caused him to think about the City in different
terms. He thereupon moved to accept the Human Resources Element and Action Plan
and the Quality of Life Goals and to proceed with the implementation of the Plan.
Councilman Kott seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood again referred to Goal No. 2 and
suggested that for purposes of clarification it might be well to add the words,
"within economic means."
A brief discussion followed between the Mayor and Councilwoman Kaywoo~, relative
to the proposed change at ~be conclusion of which, the Mayor stated he would
be amenable to the amendment, but wanted to be certain that it did not preclude
anything else. City Manager Talley thereupon suggested that the word "considering"
be used. Councilwoman Kaywood was agreeable.

City Hall,. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13, 1979, 1:30 P.M.
The Mayor then clarified that Goal No. 2 would read, "the City shall provide
the opportunity for all residents to live in suitable environments of their
choice, considering their economic means." Both he and Councilman Kott agreed to
the amendment.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that, as well, it would not preclude anyone from the
Section 8 Program. She then referred to the comment made by Mr. Grigsby that
more low income residents were coming into the City. She wanted to know if that
was because of the Section 8 Program or the social services being provided in
Anaheim.
Kate Kocher, Community Development Specialist, stated that it had a lot to do
with aid to housing more than anything else. Some of the housing stock was
becoming older and more affordable to lower income people, such as young
families as suggested by Councilwoman Kaywood.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion with the amendment to Goal No. 2.
MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Overholt asked what would now happen and most importantly, when.
James Ruth, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, first stated
that he believed the document provided a very comprehensive program which for
the first time brought a number of characteristics of the community together in
identifying needs and providing an action plan which would address those needs.
He then explained that they had applied for two grants which would give additional
resources to accelerate the implementation of the program. In the transmittal
memorandum they attempted to inform the Council that they were very much involved
in the delivery of community services and human service type programs in the
community at the present time. The goals enumerated were dependent upon additional
resources through outside funding and in terms of how fast they could be accel-
erated, but many could be implemented within exisiting staff and that was going
to be the goal at the present. If there was an area where there might be some
question in terms of policy, they would be back for the Council to make certain
they were being consistent with what t~e Council perceived as goals for the com-
munity. He believed they were doing many things right now, and it was dependent
upon additional funding as to how fast they could accelerate the programs.
Councilman Overholt then asked if they were prepared to monitor the changes in
the community as they would exl~et~d out from what was indicated in the statistical
study.
Mr. Ruth stated that the basis was already there and that the Planning Department
was doing a fine job of staying on top of some of the changes in character popula-
t~,n wise, but there were mechanisms now available that were not available in the
?ast, such as the Commun~tv ~rv~es ~oard and subcommittees. The action grant
they were going to try to a~q~ire to develop a volunteer program was designed
to get more people involved £n that process so that they would have continuous
input to help monitor changes in the community.

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Mickey Campbell, member of the Community Services Board thanked the Board
as a whole for the work that they had done as well as Mr. Grigsby of The Planning
Group. A great deal of time and effort was spent on the project.
Mayor Seymour stated if there was any doubt in the mind of individual members
of the Community Services Board as to whether or not the work they were doing
was really the direction the Council had in mind, tonight's action should
erase any of those doubts since they had the Council's total and complete
endorsement. They had done a fantastic job and the Council was most appreciative.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Kott moved to adjourn, Councilman Seymour seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
