City Hall~ .A~. aheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 10p 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
123/115: NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM FOR THE CITY: Proposed acceptance of the bid
submitted by Northern Telecom in the amount of $996,061 for the purchase and
installation of a new phone system for the City and a proposed agreement with
COM Consultants in the amount of $12,000 for assistance in implementing the
proposed system, were submitted.
City Manager William Talley explained that under the date of July 10, 1979 at
12:45 P.M., ]Pacific Telephone Company delivered to Council a request wherein
they made certain observations, which staff would be pleased to comment on
later, if appropriate. The City Clerk also advised that a Mr. Gordon McClusky,
Derrick Gardner and Lou Malouf requested an opportunity to speak on the
subject.
Mr. Talley advised they received formal bids on June 7, 1979, analyzed them
and presented the Council with an evaluation of the cost. Mr. Roche and Mr.
Piersall concurred in the recommendation that the City secure the new equip-
ment in order that it be installed in time for the move into the new Civic
Center in the Spring of 1980.
Mr. Gordon McClusky, Pacific Telephone Company, 500 South Main Street, Orange
(resident 9082 Rosanna Avenue, Garden Grove), asked if he could read his prepared
statement to the Council, letter dated July 10, 1979 (on file in the City Clerk's
office).
Mayor Seymour stated they had received his communication, and it would become a
part of the record, and thus they could make better and more efficient use of
the time if Mr. McClusky would go right to the question raised.
Mr. McClusky then proceeded and stated they had met with staff and City Manager
Talley to discuss their findings, and their questions centered around three
main items. The first related to the financial aspect of the ownership by the
City of Anaheim by becoming a communications company. They believed that in
analyzing the costs they had available, that there were many factors not con-
sidered. They met with staff to get some concurrence that those factors should
have been considered, and, in most cases, not only did staff say they had not
considered them, but felt it was not appropriate. Pacific Telephone felt it
was appropriate and with the amount of money that was in issue, they wanted a
delay of two weeks while they analyzed the figures to see if they could come
up with factors that would be acceptable to both the City of Anaheim, the
Consultant, and Pacific Telephone.
Councilman Roth asked if all the questions contained in his letter of July 10,
1979 were reviewed by staff and if he had received replies to those questions.
Mr. McClusky replied that they met with staff, and they did not get past the
first five questions which dealt primarily with the aspect of the financial
analysis. They did not get through all of the questions because it was late
yesterday afternoon when they finished. They agreed to try to use the factors
given them, as well as to confirm some additional factors.
79-762
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 10~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Although they could have started at 8:00 this morning and worked until 1:00
this afternoon, as suggested by Councilman Roth, they were in their own office
working on the matter trying to supply the figures requested. He did not think
they had developed anything that would be meaningful due to the complexity of
the responses. They did not challenge in any way the vendor that had been rec-
ommended, but believed there were factors where they could not get concurrence
from staff and which they did not have time to discover on their own that
would warrant additional analysis. It would not cost the City any money for
a delay of two weeks, and it could do two things, (1) either prove beyond a
doubt in their view that the City was making a wise decision, or (2) that
there was still some question.
Councilman Roth suggested a one-week continuance; Mr. McClusky stated if that
was all the Council would allow, that would be acceptable.
Councilman Roth expressed his concern relative to giving answers to some of
the questions and felt that they should get to the bottom of the matter. They
should be completely satisfied that they were doing the right thing. On the
other hand, there was a schedule that had to be. met and the time element needed
to be considered to make certain that when they opened the door of the new
City Hall, a telephone system would be in place. He was supportive of a one-
week delay.
Councilman Bay asked Mr. McClusky if the questions posed in the July 10th letter
were asked at the beginning of the proposal.
Mr. McClusky stated they were not really answered because they were responding
to a specific bid by the consultant. They had no idea what would be involved
until after the bids had been received, analyzed and available to the Pacific
Telephone Company.
In answer to a line of questioning by Councilman 0verholt, Mr. McClusky reported
that they met for the first time with staff yesterday, Mr. Roche, the consultant
and with Jim Armstrong who came to the meeting from the City Manager's staff for
a portion of the meeting. They also met with Mr. Talley for the first time yes-
terday morning to relay their concerns and the fact that they had worked over the
weekend on the matter. That was the reason for the late arrival to his office
to discuss what factors they thought should be considered. They did feel they
did not have sufficient time to go through all the factors, but over and above
that, staff, as of yesterday, said that they did not believe some of the factors
were relevant, and they would not consider them. That was why Pacific Telephone
felt they should be allowed some period of time to either substantiate the
claim that they should be relevant. If they could not do so and the cost
analysis would stand, then the City would be wise to move ahead in the owner-
ship of the communications system. He reiterated at this late date, a little
further delay was not out of order to substantiate those factors they believed
should be considered.
City Manager Talley wanted to know if they were requesting a week's delay in
order to pose more questions, or what was the reasoning behind the requested
delay.
79-763
City Hall,.. An. aheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 10~ 1979, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. McClusky answered that without cooperation or input from the City, he did
not believe it was possible to answer all of their questions. Thus, it would
be a mutual endeavor between his (Talley) staff, members of the City, and the
Telephone Company.
Mr. Talley stated that many of the questions were extremely frivolous as
evidenced by two of the questions which he related to clarify his point. They
would work with Pacific Telephone, but he reiterated a number of the questions
were frivolous.
Mr. McClusky agreed with Mr. Talley that some of the questions had been answered,
but they would delete the questions for which they already had answers.
The Mayor stated he assumed the other two gentlemen who wished to be heard were
supportive of what Mr. McClusky was saying.
The two gentlemen in the Chamber audience indicated that they were not suppor-
tive, but were representatives of Northern Telecom.
The Mayor sensed that there was a feeling from the Council that a one-week delay
would not hurt anybody, but he reminded Mr. McClusky they were working within a
time frame. It was not a new program and he recalled discussing the general
concept with executives from Pacific Telephone six to nine months ago. Thus, it
was no rush matter and yet Pacific Telephone's five pages of questions seemed
to have urgency written all over them. He did not feel that sense of urgency.
No harm would come from a one week's delay, and he considered it propitious that
they allow that week. He was certain that the staff and Mr. Talley would work
with Mr. McClusky during the next week, but the Council was going to make a
decision.
Councilman Overholt referred to the third question posed on the first sheet
attached to Pacific Telephone's letter of July 10, 1979, "Why are there con-
siderable differences between the figures given to us by the Finance Director
to use in cost analysis and those used in the recommendation?" He wanted to
know if there was a difference in those figures.
Mr. McClusky answered "yes" as they understood them, and that was an area they
felt warranted additional study. They were given figures for the cost of
insurance by the Finance Director at $2 per thousand on a telephone system that
would be owned by the City. The quote to them was $10 per thousand and the
consultant's recommendation was $2 per thousand. They wanted to know where
the consultant obtained his figures, and they attempted yesterday to call the
Finance Director's office while they were in the meeting with staff, and he
was not certain that the question was resolved. Another question related to
the cost of financing. They had it on good authority that there had been an
inquiry to the Bank of America if they would loan money at that particular rate
by telephone and they indicated they would. If they were going to commit in
writing, that would be fine, and it would be a good interest rate for the City.
Their questions along those lines were only to satisfy themselves that all
alternatives had been totally explored, and that the City had not been promised
something, or that something had been alluded to, that would not come to pass.
79-764
City Hall~ Anaheim, q~lifornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 10~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Talley countered that was a good example of what City staff had been going
through. The consultant, who was present to testify, called the Bank of America
and obtained confirmed figures to use in his analysis on how much a five-year
lease would be for $996,000 worth of equipment, just as with the Stadium score-
board or any other item. As well, the consultant was using $2 a thousand on
liability insurance and that was supplied to everyone. He did not know if any-
one said $10 or not. Today, the City was paying $10 a thousand for it. If
they wished, they could entirely re-evaluate the consultant's analysis. Al-
though Mr. McClusky should be provided with answers, the Telephone Company's
suggestion in the last paragraph of their July 10th letter to set up a
committee excluded everyone who had anything to do with main-
taining the equipment, or the management of the City. They would get together
with Pacific Telephone, but if they did so, he wanted some very clear direction
from the Council.
Mayor Seymour stated that obviously if the Council were to choose to go to
private equipment, Pacific Telephone would not applaud that act, because of the
large amount of income they would be giving up per year. On the other hand,
Pacific Telephone raised some questions which he sensed Councilmen Roth and Bay
would like to have answers to without formalization of a committee. Propriety
would indicate, however, that when making a million dollar decision, a weeks
delay would not be detrimental. ·
Councilman Roth stated he hoped the City Manager would direct the consultant to
work and cooperate with Mr. McClusky.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she was extremely disturbed about the situation
because the Council had discussed the matter for well over two years as to what
they would be doing for the new Civic Center on telephone service. From her
point of view, they received no service or action from Pacific Telephone until
there was a possibility of losing the account. She received a phone call less
than two hours ago from somebody on the staff at Pacific Telephone who wanted
to meet with her prior to the meeting. She believed that to be disgraceful
and told the caller she would not meet with anyone individually and that she
did not want to hear anything that the whole Council would not hear all at
once. To her, it was a matter of too little, too late, and she questioned
where Pacific Telephone was when the City had legitimate complaints and
concerns regarding poor service and nothing happened to correct them. One of
their questions asked was what the cost would be to the City to replace the
system after its useful life and also the cost to Pacific Telephone. She
stated theirs was a lease, and it had no value to the City at expiration.
The questions were not worth answering in her opinion.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to continue the matter one week and in the
interim, staff, consultant and a representative from Pacific Telephone would
meet to answer questions posed by Pacific Telephone. Councilman Roth seconded
the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mr. Talley stated if the motion passed, he would
request that the Pacific Telephone representative remain to meet with Mr.
Bushor, the consultant, Mr. Roche and Mr. Piersall who were all present and
available to work past 5:00 P.M. They could start immediately to answer the
questions and work right through them.
79-765
Cit.y Hall~ Ana~e.i~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 10~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Bay in looking at the various bids on the whole contract had a
question relative to maintenance. The Iow bid on maintenance was $28,920 a
year and the other bids for maintenance were for $40,000 a year and $54,000
a year prorated against 5% state of the art. He wanted to know how a company
could provide the maintenance required at the much lower price a year than
the average across the other bids. He wanted more information on that, as
well, when they discussed the matter next week.
Mr. McClusky stated that relative to adjourning at this time and being prepared
to sit down with staff, some of the issues were discussed yesterday. What they
needed to do in-house was to get some of the questions solidified so that City
staff could answer. If Mr. Talley agreed, he would like to meet with whoever
he appointed, starting tomorrow morning, and they would attempt to have a
nucleus of questions for staff to review.
Mr. Talley answered he would agree if he had to, otherwise he was going to take
the July 10th letter, which he received two hours ago, and ask them to start
with that. He wanted to know exactly what they wanted.
Additional discussion and questioning followed between Mr. Talley and Mr. McClusky;
Mayor Seymour interjected and recommended that staff meet with Mr. McClusky now,
excluding Mr. Talley because he was going to remain at the Council meeting. They
could answer whatever questions that could be answered this afternoon and those
on which Pacific Telephone had to get additional information could be discussed
at 8:30 in the morning, and he was certain that staff would be ready.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked Mr. Talley how a one week's delay would affect the
system installation; Mr. Talley answered that the wait would not affect anything.
Councilwoman Kaywood then asked if it would be advisable to then have a two weeks'
delay; Mr. Talley answered if it was advisable, they could come back with that
recommendation next week, but they would do everything to expedite matters.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated her personal feeling was that it was a delaying tactic.
A vote was than taken on the foregoing motion for a one-week continuance.
Councilwoman Kaywood abstained. MOTION CARRIED.
A verbatim transcript taken from a tape recording of the foregoing proceedings
is on file in the City Clerk's office.

ESTABLISHING A RULE OF PROCEDURE WITH REGARD TO ABSTENTIONS.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood questioned the fact that there
could be an abstention because a Council Member disagreed with something, and if
the motion was for approval, the abstention would then count as a concurrence.
It would thus be the opposite of the intent.
Mr. Hopkins stated that the court case attached to his memorandum discussed that
situation to some degree, and there were others, the thinking being, if a Council
Member disagreed with the motion, they would be obligated to vote against it.
Councilman Overholt questioned if he wanted to abstain and then he made the
motion in the negative, his abstention would be a positive vote for the
negative; City Attorney Hopkins agreed.

105: APPOINTMENTS TO COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS: Mayor Seymour suggested waiting
another week before acting on the subject of appointments even though Councilman
Overholt had returned. However, there were some appointments that Council might
want to act upon today, one being an appointment to the now vacant seat of Rudy
Valenzuela. Later in the meeting, Councilman Bay pointed out that the
vacant seat was that of Glenn Fry who had been appointed City Planning Commissioner.
Mayor Seymour then nominated Dr. Robert Doty to fill the vacant seat of Glenn
Fry for the term ending June 30, 1983. He then relayed Dr. Doty's background
to the Council. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the nomination.
On motion by Councilman Overholt, seconded by Councilman Seymour, nominations
for appointment to the Redevelopment Commission were closed. MOTION CARRIED.
Dr. Robert Doty thereupon became the appointee to the Redevelopment Commission.
The Mayor then referred to the Anaheim City Schood District's request to extend
the term of Mr. Jerry Wood on the Park and Recreation Commission to November 30,
1979 and the Savanna School District's request to reappoint Mr. Gary Krieger to
the Park and Recreation Commission for the term ending June 30, 1980.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to ratify the appointments of Mr. Wood and Mr. Krieger
to the Park and Recreation Commission, as recommended by the respective School
Districts. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Bay moved to renominate Mr. James McAlvin and Mr. Robert Risteen for
appointment to the Anaheim Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) for terms
ending June 30, 1982. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Kaywood then noted that there was a vacancy on the Golf Course
Advisory Commission due to the resignation of Nora Davis.
Mayor Seymour asked if the seat had been advertised; the City Clerk, stated
that since there were no term designations on this Commission, posting was not
necessary, and it was just a matter of replacement.
The Mayor asked that the vacant seat on the Golf Course Advisory Commission be
included on the next week's agenda.
Councilman Roth asked that the Golf Course Advisory Commission be asked if they
had a recommendation to fill that seat.
Mayor Seymour stated a question had been raised as well relative to HACMAC
since the terms on that committee were expiring July 31, 1979.
Councilman Roth stated there was a rumor that a number of HACMAC members did
not want to be reappointed. Rather than making reappointments, which might
be followed by resignations, he suggested that they ask which members wanted
to continue to serve, and which members did not.
79-769
~ity Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 10, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour thereupon recommended that both the vacancy on the Golf Course
Commission and the HACMAC appointments be continued for two weeks in order to
receive input from the Commission and HACMAC.
The City Clerk was directed to write a letter to the Chairman of HACMAC asking
the names of those ~o wished to continue on that Committee.
City Clerk Roberts then asked if the Council would consider at this time declaring
Mr. James Morris' seat vacant on the Redevelopment Commission for posting purposes;
the Council declared the seat vacant.
156: 12TH ANNUAL POLICE OLYMPICS - JULY 25-29~ 1979: Request by the Anaheim
Police Officer's Association (APA) that the Council authorize the use of City
business time for officers competing in the 12th annual Police Olympics, was
submitted.
Councilman Roth moved to approve the request for the use of City business time
for officers competing in the 12th annual Police Olympics to be held July 25-29,
1979 in Alameda County. Councilman Seymour seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Detective James Watkins then assured the Council that
this year they had worked all problems out with the Chief as far as the officers
being available to compete. He then briefed the Council on his letter request
dated June 28, 1979 which discussed the event in detail. Me concluded that
rather than utilizing all of their vacation time, the officers would be
competing on City business time. It had been awarded three years in the past
until last year.
Councilwoman Kaywood recalled that last year the request was not granted due to
Proposition 13, among other things. She wanted to know what the City's liability
would be in the event someone was hurt en route to or from the Olympics, as well
as during the events.
City Attorney Hopkins stated it was his opinion that the City would be liable
for any injuries occurring, either going to or coming from the activities, as
well as any injuries during participation. It would be covered by Workers'
Compensation.
Detective Watkins then clarified additional questions posed by Councilwoman
Kaywood, as well as Councilmen Roth and Bay, at the conclusion of which Council-
woman Kaywood again expressed her concern relative to the liability aspect. She
was personally extremely proud of the Police Department and the medals captured
at previous Olympics, but she did not see the taxpayers looking kindly on
picking up the tab for any injuries that might occur. She would thus
have to vote "no" on the request.
Councilman Overholt stated his first vote on the subject was the previous year
when, regrettably, he had to vote "no". However, he was pleased to vote "yes"
on the proposal this year. He believed it to be a very important part of the
whole Police environment which was an indication of the spirit of the officers
who were participating, as well as being a morale builder, since it was a
prestigious event. He was not concerned with the risk factor and suspected that
there was a greater risk to the officers in their line of duty.

City Ha~l~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES .- July 10~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.

participation in it, but the liability to the City.
167: REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL ASSESSMENT - METZLER'S INC. AND
WORLD TRAVEL BUREAU: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to approve the request of
Metzler's Inc. for waiver of the Traffic Signal Assessment fee in connection
with their Redevelopment relocation at 831 South Harbor Boulevard and World

June 8, 1979, requesting to add two more stops to the Anaheim Plaza Jitney
service route in Anaheim to include the Apollo Inn on West Street and the Park
Vue Motel on Harbor Boulevard, was approved. MOTION CARRIED.
153: REQU~ - LOS AMIGOS OF ANAHEIM FOR EVENING MEETING ON AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
PLAN: Councilwoman Kaywood commented that relative to the letter request from
Los Amigos of Anaheim signed by Mr. Amin David, Mr. David was present at the
previous week's meeting wherein it was pointed out that it was not even necessary
to hold a public hearing regarding the Plan, and it was not legally required.
Councilman Overholt stated although he was not present when Mr. David appeared
before the Council, he too was concerned with scheduling an evening hearing unless
there were compelling reasons to do so. It was an imposition on staff and such
meetings tended to last all r~igh~. He was, therefore, opposed to the request.
Mayor Seymour concurred and did not see the need for an evening meeting. However,
he did not want to deprive Mr. David from presenting any questions or giving
input. He thereupon requested the City Clerk to contact Mr. David and inform
him that the Council was not desirous of holding an evening meeting, but would
look forward to his input in person, or in writing, at the public hearing at
3:00 P.M. on July 31, 1979.
173: HELISTOP AT ANAHEIM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND NEGATIVE DECI,ARATION:

plans for the proposed helistop were approved, as recommended in memorandum dated
June 21, 1979 from the Assistant Director for Zoning, Annika Santalahti. MOTION
CARRIED.

Councilman Roth requested a review of the subject application.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that the agenda indicated that the CUP was granted
by the City Planning Commission and in reading through the Resolution, noted
that it was granted for six months. She requested that as items appeared on
the Planning Commission Consent Calendar, that the exact action taken be shown.
They did not receive the Planning Commission minutes of June 18, and when she
saw a 4-3 vote, she wanted to know the background discussion. She reiterated
she wanted to see the exact action taken by the Planning Commission on the
agenda relative to time limits or certain conditions.
b~yor Seymour was of the opinion that more work was being created by such a
request, and he did not see the necessity for including that information since
Planning Commission resolutions and staff reports were included in their agenda
packets.
Councilwoman Kaywood wanted to know why that information was included sometimes
and not others.
City Clerk Roberts stated they had not followed that procedure for approximately
three to four years. They worked from an agenda from the Planning Commission
and time limitations were not always listed on that agenda. Back-up material
was received in time to place it in the packets, but not in time to place the
requested information on the typed agenda.
Councilwoman Kaywood was satisfied with the explanation.

114: PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE STATE - COUNCILMAN BAY: On motion by Councilman
Roth~ seconded by Councilman Seymour, Councilman Bay was granted permission to
leave the State for 90 days. MOTION CARRIED.
114: GENERAL MOTORS ENERGY ASSESSMENT MEETING: Councilman Bay reported that
he attended the subject meeting on Monday, July 9, 1979, wherein they set up
another meeting with staff for July 31, 1979 and hopefully an energy seminar
for August 1, 1979 in order to find out how much data was already available
within the State and Federal aid areas, so that they could avoid spending staff
time collecting data that possibly ~night already be available. There were now
six cities and Oran§e County represented, and he was looking forward to great
progress from the whole arrangement in the future.
112: SURVEY TO DETERMINE PROPRIETY OF REQUESTED INCREASE IN LEGAL FEES: Mayor
Seymour referred to letter dated July 6, 1979 received from Mr. Alan Watts, Special
Counsel to the Public Utilities, relative to fees. The essence of the letter pointe~
to the fact that there was information available that would Justify his request
for an increase in fees that might influence the majority of the Council
regarding their "no" vote on the requested increase.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that Gordon Hoyt, Public Utilities General
Manager, undertake a survey to determine the propriety of the fees requested by
Alan Watts, Special Counsel, and report his findings to the Council. Councilman
Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
125: LIAISON COMMITTEE MEETING WITH DATA PROCESSING DEPARTMENT: Mayor Seymour
reported on the Liaison Committee meeting held that morning, wherein he and Council-
man Overholt met with City Manager Talley, Assistant City Manager Hopkins, Mr.
Tug Tamaru, Data Processing Director, and a number of his staff. The purpose
was to interview two potential consultants regarding the proposed data processing
study concerning the question of continuing with the MDS program. They inter-
viewed Price Waterhouse, as well as Gottfried, a management consulting firm,
and they asked the City Manager to prepare a recommendation, along with a
proposed contract. The feeling was that the firm to handle the study should
be Gottfried, and the Council could look for that type of recommendation to
be forthcoming.
149: COMPLAINT RELATIVE TO NO PARKING FOR STREET .SWEEPING PURPOSES: Mayor
Seymour reported that he and Councilman Roth had received a call from Mrs.-Blanche
Kelly relative to "no parking" signs associated with the City'~ street sweeping
79-777
City Hall, Anaheim,.....California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 10, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
program. Mrs. Kelly felt it was totally unreasonable that her street should
be posted for no parking for four hours between noon and 4:00 P.M. on Mondays
in order to sweep the streets, since she had a number of activities at her home.
He tried to reason with her but to no avail and finally suggested to her that
he would, (1) report her concerns to the Council, and (2) suggest to her the
Council's feeling relative to street sweeping - that it was not getting done
and they were deluged with complaints about unclean streets. He explained that
they had run a pilot program to determine how the sign posting would work out
and it worked out well. He then suggested to her if her neighborhood would
rather not have the neighborhood signed and, therefore, have to sweep streets
themselves or put up with ineffective street sweeping, that the Council would
respond to any petition that might be submitted.
Councilman Roth stated he suggested the same thing. He also pointed out in that
one family, they have five automobiles, plus a recreational vehicle, parked on
the street.
RECESS - EXECUTIVE SESSION: Councilman Roth moved to recess into Executive
Session. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (3:05 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Seymour called the meeting to order, all Council Members being
present. (3:40 P.M.)
118: CLAIM AGAINST THE CITY: On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by
Councilman Bay, the City Attorney and Carl Warren and Company were authorized
to settle the claim filed against the City of Anaheim by Mercy Zamora Dennison
for a sum not to exceed $1,292.93. MOTION CARRIED.
108: REQUEST FOR DINNER-DANCING PERMIT: Submitted by the Atlantic & Pacific
Railroad Restaurant, Katella Avenue (formerly Loose Caboose).
Mayor Seymour explained that a new operator had taken over the Loose Caboose,
and they had been trying to obtain a license. The owner had asked him to see
if he could get Council approval today because he was ready to go into business.
As he understood, there was a question as to whether or not a Conditional Use
Permit was required relative to the Dinner-Dancing Permit.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to approve the request by the Atlantic &
Pacific Railroad Restaurant contingent upon the City Attorney's approval that
a CUP was not required. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, City Attorney Hopkins stated if they had one musician,
they could obtain a dinner-dancing permit.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to adjourn. Councilman Bay seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Adjourned: 3:45 P.M.
