150: CITY PURCHASE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON SCHOOL PROPERTY FROM THE ANAHEIM REDE-
VELOPMENT AGENCY: Mr. Talley reported that the City Attorney has deemed the
proposed ordinance to be a very appropriate method through which the City can
provide funds to the Redevelopment Agency for acquisition of property to be
used as a neighborhood community center. Use of the special capital outlay fund
as set forth should preclude the project from ever being categorized as a federal
project and therefore it would not be bound by federal rules and regulations.

153: ESTABLISHING NEW JOB CLASSIFICATION - UTILITIES YARD SUPERVISOR:
Mr. Talley explained the recommendation of the Human Resources Director to
establish this job class and commented that the position would not be filled
until approximately October 12, 1979. This position would serve as the work-
ing supervisor in the "after hours loading program" and therefore the proposed
salary set forth in the resolution is $2.00 per hour more than originally
budgeted. However because of the postponement in filling of the position
there are adequate funds budgeted for the current fiscal year.
Councilman Seymour recalled that this program was one of the Arthur Young and
Company recommendations to increase the efficiency and productivity of the
Utilities Line crews. He thereupon offered Resolution No. 79R-452 for adoption.

164: AWARD OF CONTRACT - MIRALOMA AVENUE STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENT {TUSTIN AVENUE
TO 1583' EAST OF KRAEMER BOULEVARD): Recommendation of the City Engineer that the
Council accept the low bid and award the Miraloma Avenue Storm Drain contract
to Nick Didovic Construction Company was submitted for Council consideration,
Councilman Bay questioned the proposed contract completion date and penalty
clause and was advised by Mr. Devitt that the contractor would have 120 working
days, which amounted to six calendar months, to complete the improvement making
the estimated completion date early in March. Further the liquidated damages
which could be assessed as a late penalty would be 1/60 of 1% of the contract
price, or $115 per day.
Councilman Bay stated it was his understanding that the City was attempting to
expedite this storm drain improvement so as to have it completed prior to the
rainy season. He inquired whether there was any way the contractor could be
asked to complete the improvement before the end of December, or, at least perform
the drainage work on Miraloma from Miller to the channel as the first priority
so that when the heavy rainy season begins these streets will not be flooded once
again.
Mr. Devitt advised that this is a matter which could be brought to the contractor's
attention at the preconstruction conference meeting.
In accordance with the recommendation of the City Engineer, Councilwoman Kaywood
offered Resolution No. 79R-453 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Book.

The Mayor declared Resolution No. 79R-453 duly passed and adopted.
Since he felt that the entire City Council is sensitive to the drainage problems
on Miller and Miraloma Streets, as addressed by Councilman Bay, Mayor Seymour
requested that Mr. Devitt give the Council a report following the preconstruction
conference so that Council Members might know what to expect during the forth-
coming rainy season.
Councilman Roth remarked that he had heard many favorable comments from residents
on Lemon Street about Nick Didovic Construction Company and the apparent concern
given to the resident's properties during the construction work at that location.

164: PERMIT FOR CONNECTION OF MIRALOMA AVENUE STORM DRAIN TO ORANGE COUNTY
WATER DISTRICT WARNER BASIN-ANAHEIM LAKE TRANSMISSION MAIN: Report from the
City Engineer recommending that the Council approve a permit with the Orange
County Water District to interconnect the Miraloma Avenue Storm Drain with the
Water Basin-Anaheim Lake Transmission Main was submitted.
Councilman Bay observed that this particular permit for interconnection and
diversion of peak storm flows into Anaheim Lake, will save the City $100,000
on the construction contract for the Miraloma Storm Drain Improvement and
he complimented the City Engineers on putting this together.
Councilman Overholt offered Resolution No. 79R-454 for adoption. Refer to

123: AGREEMENT WITH VILLAGE PARK CONDOMINIUMS - WATER AND SEWER SERVICES:
Mr. Frank Lowry reported that pursuant to Council direction given at the meeting
of February 19, 1979, the subject agreement was drawn up to provide for the
furnishing of water and sewer services by the City of Anaheim to a 76-unit
condominium project located south of La Palma Avenue and west of Magnolia Avenue
in the City of Buena Park.
Councilwoman Kaywood recalled that one of the provisions discussed was that
none of the proposed units was to be priced higher than $80,000 and stated
she wished this clarified since Exhibit "A" of this agreement show one out
of four units at a price of $87,500.
Mr. David Stone of IPS, 630 City Drive, Orange, California advised that one
of the units would be substantially larger and the $87,500 price reflects that
additional value. He noted that from the City's position this agreement will
provide more appropriate prices to the buyers and will be more in line with
the lenders' requirements, and further will not cause them, as the developers, to
have to reduce the size of the larger unit. He emphasized that his company has
stipulated in the agreement to prices for each unit, some are higher than
$80,000 and some are lower, but if averaged together amount to $80,000 per
unit. They feel they have worked out an agreement with the City Attorney which
will be fair to their buyers and meet the objectives set forth by the City
Council.
7g-881
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood reiterated that there was a density allowed on this project
which was greater than the Council would have otherwise approved, and that is
how the ceiling price of $80,000 total on any unit was established.
Mayor Seymour voiced his opinion that the particular alternative p~esented by
the developer in this agreement offers the consumer more flexibility and choice
as to size of the unit and features provided, vs. building all one or all two-
bedroom units, which situation will be a benefit to the buyers at time'of resale.
Further the prices range from $76,700 to $87,500 per unit and when averaged out
the total price for all units does equal $80,000 each. ~
During Council discussion, Councilman Roth stated that he is very happy to see
anything on the drawing board in the $76,000 price bracket because there is such
great pressure in the housing market for anything below $90,000 today; Council-
man Bay was of the opinion that the way this agreement has been prepared, with
the price ranges shown, it meets the intent of the stipulation made to the City
Council; and, Councilman Overholt observed that looking at this agreement in
another fashion, one might say that this developer is offering 57 units which
will cost less than $78,000 on initial sale.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 79R-455 for adoption. Refer to Resolution
Book.
RESOLTUION NO. 79R-455: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City
Council authorized the Orange County Counsel to defend the City in the
matter of the Kroger Company dba Market Basket vs. County of Orange, City of
Anaheim, et al relating to property taxes, as recommended by the City Attorney.
MOTION CARRIED.
156: ORDINANCE RELATING TO FALSE ALARMS: Mr. Frank Lowry explained that due
to inadvertence and clerical error, section numbers were assigned to Ordinance
No. 4027 relating to false alarms which had previously been assigned to Ordinance
No. 3926 relating to escort services. He advised it would therefore be necessary
to repeal Ordinance No. 4027 and enact an ordinance containing correct section
numbers.

Clerk reported that a letter had been received fromMr. Larry Slagle accepting
his nomination for appointment to the Advisory Group for development of a
master plan for John Wayne Airport, and further naming Mr. Don Boyles as his
alternate subject to Council approval.
On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Seymour the City Council
ordered the letter received and filed and concurred with appointment of Mr.
Don Boyles as alternate to Larry Slagle on the Advisory Group. MOTION CARRIED.
161: PROJECT ALPHA~ DECLARATION OF ASSETS - RANNEY AND SKIDMORE: The Deputy
City Clerk announced that Declarations of Assets within Redevelopment Project
Alpha area have been filed in accordance with Section 33201 of the Health and
Safety Code of the State of California by newly-appointed Redevelopment
Commissioners William A. Ranney and Ian Skidmore.
105: DISBANDMENT OF THE HILL AND CANYON MUNICIPAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (HACMAC):
Mayor Seymour briefed the history and reasons for establishment of the Hill and
Canyon Municipal Advisory Committee, whose function it was to act as the "eyes
and ears" of the City Council in the hill and canyon area and to make recommen-
dations on new development proposals to the Planning Commission. He commented
that although it was apparent to himself and Councilwoman Kaywood at the
inception of HACMAC, and its predecessor organization, the Santa Aha Canyon
Task Force, that there was a great need for communication with residents in
the hill and canyon area on many issues, it appears over the past two years
there was some lack of interest on the part of some members which led to a
restructuring of the committee. Since that time, although attendance has
improved, it appears that it is now an appropriate time to review whether or
not this communication function of HACMAC is continuing to be filled or whether
it might be performed in an alternate way. He explained that from individual
discussions on this subject with his fellow Council M~mbers, they feel there
is perhaps a better way to handle citizens' concern for direct QO~nunication
with the City Council.
Therefore, rather than continuing to delegate these communication efforts to
a committee or group, Mayor Seymour proposed that the Council initiate a series
of quarterly meetings to be held in the Hill and Canyon area as well as in west
Anaheim, so that the citizens might have direct contact with their elected
representatives. Additionally, the disbandment of HACMAC would allow a savings
in the recently adopted budget of $20,000 which had been allocated to cover
the staff support time and other services for this committee.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour thereupon moved that the Hill and Canyon Municipal
Advisory Committee be disbanded with the sincere thanks of the City Council for
their dedication and participation in a Job well done; and further that the City
Council determine to hold quarterly meetings through the current fiscal year,
in both the hill and canyon area and in west Anaheim. Councilman Roth seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
79-88_3
City Ha.l.1, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Potential sites discussed for the meetings were the Anaheim Hills Golf Course
Clubhouse or one of the school facilities in the canyon area and Brookhurst
Community Center in west Anaheim.
During discussion Mayor Seymour further clarified that he intended these quarterly
meetings to be well publicized with the agenda approved at least two weeks in
advance by the Council and the Council would adjourn from their last regular
meeting to a specific location for the quarterly meeting. He further explained
that the Liaison Committee meeting scheduled with HACMAC on Thursday, August 9,
1979 need not be cancelled, and that he would appreciate hearing from HACMAC
representatives what subjects the Council should be considering for the first
quarterly meeting.
At the suggestion of Councilman Roth, with general consent of the City Council,
the City Clerk's office was directed to prepare a letter for each HACMAC member,
expressing 'the Council's gratitude for their services and further to invite all
HACMAC members to attend the meeting of August 21, 1979 to receive the letters
of recognition.
148: NOMINATION OF 2ND VICE PRESIDENT - LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: Council Members
individually indicated their preferences to the Mayor who will act as the City's
voting delegate on the nomination for 2nd Vice President of the League of California
Cities at the September 16, 1979 meeting, as follows: Councilwoman Kaywood advised
that she would concur with either of the choices made by the Nominating Committee --
of Councilman Phil Schwartz, San Juan Capistrano or Councilman Marvin Adler,
Fountain Valley; Council Members Roth and Bay indicated their preference would
be Councilman Adler.
124/149: REPORT ON PARKING CONGESTION PROBLEM AREA WEST OF CONVENTION CENTER:
Report of the City Engineer dated August 1, 1979 describing the alternatives
discussed with residents of the residential neighborhood to the west of the
Anaheim Convention Center to alleviate the traffic congestion problem was
submitted. Alternatives discussed included closure of Eleanor Drive; ins-
titution of special permit parking; limited one or two hour parking restric-
tions; tow-away warning signs; limitation of through-bus movements.
Mr. Talley summarized that the staff report recommended adoption of an ordinance
for enforcement of special permit parking in this area as a first step as this
would be most acceptable in staff's point of view to answer the citizens' needs.
From a cost and scheduling standpoint, Mr. Talley noted that it would probably
be most appropriate for Convention Center personnel to m~nitor and enforce such
a program inasmuch as that is the facility causing the problem and that organ-
ization would be aware as to when the overflow parking problems arise. Mr. Talley
also explained that this report is presented to the Council two weeks in advance
of a public hearing scheduled August 28, 1979 to consider this matter since the
Council had so requested.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Bay, seconded by Councilman Roth, the City
Council ordered the report from the City Engineer received and filed, since
they would not take any action on this item until after the public hearing
scheduled August 28, 1979. MOTION CARRIED.
79-884
City Hal.l~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour directed that the residents on the mailing list used by the City
Engineer's office be notified by mail of the forthcoming public discussions on
this problem on August 28, 1979, at 7:30 P.M. Said meeting to be conducted at
the Anaheim Convention Center. No further information was requested by the
City Council from staff prior to the meeting.
167: REFUND OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL ASSESSMENT - D. B. INVESTMENTS: Request of Mr.
Don Baily, D. B. Investments, 1940 North Tustin Avenue, No. 100, Orange 92665,
for partial refund of traffic signal fee assessment paid in connection with
property located at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Gain Street was submitted
for Council consideration together with a report from the City Engineer rec-
ommending denial of the request.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved that the subject request be denied. Councilman
Bay seconded the motion.
Prior to voting on the foregoing motion, Mayor Seymour questioned whether Mr.
Baily's request was based on the revised formula for traffic signal fees as
established by the City Council.
Mr. Singer replied that Mr. Baily has based his request on the revised fee of
$180 per square foot as opposed to the old rate of $363 per square foot; and
further that he is requesting a refund of the difference between what he has
paid ($5,445) and the assessment amount under the new formula, and the refund
would total $2,700.
Mr. Singer added that in the past fiscal year, while the City has collected
$180,00 approximately in traffic signal assessment fees, it has also refunded
$58,000 of this amount.
Mayor Seymour summarized that since the applicant is not asking for anything
different from that relief already granted by the City Council to a number of
other applicants, equity would, in his opinion, dictate that this request be
treated no different than the others.
In response to Councilman Bay it was explained that Gain Street "T's" into
Lincoln Avenue and there is traffic in and out at that point.
Councilman Seymour briefed the history and rationale of the traffic signal
assessment fee, noting that it was determined this would be assessed against
certain types of property on a square-foot basis regardless of whether there
is or is not an existing traffic light or an immediate necessity for same. He
explained that when the Council heard the hue and cry of developers over the
amount of the original fee, they requested staff to take another look at the
amounts being assessed. Subsequently the fee was reduced and the City Council
has been granting refunds of the amounts paid over the revised fee.
Councilman Overholt pointed out that in this particular instance the individuals
paid the assessment fee according to the original formula on June 21, 1978 and
just nine or ten days later the City Council adopted the revised fee schedule;
79-885
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
further the preparation of that revised schedule was in process for some sub-
stantial period of time. He indicated that he would base his vote against
the motion to deny subject request on this factor, that the Council changed
the formula just ten days following Mr. Baily's payment.
Councilwoman Kaywood explained that her position is that this assessment fee
was set up because of traffic signalization needs throughout the City due to
new construction and renovation and repair, and there was no revenue coming
in for this specific purpose. She voiced the opinion that the Council had gone
way beyond being fair on the granting of these refunds.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Bay withdrew his second to the
foregoing motion and said motion was declared dead for lack of a second.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Overholt, seconded by Councilman Roth, the
City Council granted the request for reduction of traffic signal assessment
fee paid in connection with property at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Gain
Street from $363 per square foot to $180 per square foot and further authorized
the refund of the excess amount received of $2,700. Councilwoman Kaywood voted
"no". MOTION CARRIED.
123: ROURKE AND WOODRUFF - INCREASE IN LEGAL FEES: A report of a survey
undertaken by the General Manager of the Public Utilities Department dated
July 24, 1979, to determine the propriety of fees requested by Alan R.
Watts, Special Counsel representing the City in electric power supply
matters, was submitted for Council consideration together with request pre-
viously made for increase in rates to $65 per hour for Alan R. Watts,
special counsel, and $50 per hour for associates.
Mayor Seymour observed that the City Council had previously not acted upon
this requested increase because it was in excess of the percentage established
for raises in the President's inflationary index, however at that time the
Council had no comparison as to what the accepted hourly rates were for similar
services. Upon receipt of the results of the survey undertaken by Mr. Hoyt's
office it appears that Mr. Watts had been working at an hourly rate which was
lower than the remainder of the market for these services. Mayor Seymour stated
he could now support the requested increase to $65 per hour for Special Counsel
and $50 per hour for associates.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Overholt, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood,
the City Council approved the increase requested by Rourke and Woodruff in
hourly rates to $65 for Mr. Alan R. Watts, Special Counsel representing the City
in power supply matters and $50 for associates. MOTION CARRIED.
170: TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 10167 - EXTENSION OF TIME: On motion by Councilman
Roth, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council approved an extension
of time to Tentative Tract No. 10167 as requested by Thomas P. Riley, Shamrock
Contractors, Inc., to establish a 15-lot subdivision on RS-HS-22,000 zoned
property located on the northeast side of Country Hill Road, south of Mohler
Drive, to expire August 5, 1980 as recommended by the Zoning Division. MOTION

170: FINAL MAP - TRACT NO. 10704: Developer Holiday Harbor of Huntington
Beach; tract located south of Orangewood Avenue, between Dana Street and
Camino Street; containing 1RM-1200 zoned lot.
In response to Councilwoman Kaywood's inquiry, Miss Santalahti'explained
that this Final Map pertains to an existing apartment development which will
have 1 lot and 20 buildings to be sold, each individual building containing a
number of dwelling units. It is not a condominium-type single unit sale. She
suggested that the wording be slightly amended in this and future instances
to show one RM-1200 zoned lot, 20 buildings in this came and 20 dwelling units
in those instances where these are being sold so as to clarify the written
record.
On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the proposed
subdivision together with its design and improvement was found to be consistent
with the City's General Plan and the City Council approved Final Map - Tract
No. 10704 as recommended by the City Engineer in his memorandum dated July 27,
1979, with the correction to the description to show one RM-1200 zoned lot,
20 buildings. MOTION CARRIED.

ments and parking agreements.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC79-145, granted in
part Conditional Use Permit No. 1982 and reaffirmed the negative declaration
status.
Councilwoman Kaywood wished to correct for the record that Item No. 7 of the
Planning staff report, page 6a, reads "deletion of approval of No. 5," whereas,
it should read "No. 7."
In addition, Ms. Santalahti reported for Councilwoman Kaywood that the deletions
requested are not anticipated to cause any parking problems and that these
deletions to the Conditional Use Permit would be consistent with similar approvals
for motels with parking waivers.

20-unit expansion of an existing motel on CL zoned property located at 916
South Beach Boulevard.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC79-146, granted
Conditional Use Permit No. 1998, and granted a negative declaration status.
5. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1702 - REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME: Submitted
by Mr. R. L. Searle, requesting an extension of time to Conditional Use Permit
No. 1702, to permit metal processing and refining of precious metals on ML
zoned property located at 1250 Grove Street.
The City Planning Commission approved an extension of time to Conditional Use
Permit No. 1702, to expire April 11, 1981.

by Warren S. Liu, requesting an extension of time to Conditional Use Permit No.

161: REDEVELOPMENT BROCHURE: Councilman Roth commended the Executive Director
of Community Development on the informational brochure published to advise
the citizens of activities in the downtown area relative to redevelopment,
entitled "What's Happening in Anaheim". He voiced the opinion that this is
an excellent publication, overdue and needed to keep the citizens advised
on what is going on in town.
114: GENERAL MOTORS ENERGY ASSESSMENT MEETING: Councilman Bay reported on the
General Motors Energy Assessment meeting held August 1, 1979 at the Anaheim
Convention Center. He indicated that a member of the State Energy Commission
staff was present to answer questions on availability of energy data from that
source. It was arranged for some General Motors representatives to travel to
Sacramento to review potential energy data sources. During the public sector
data information segments representatives from Southern California Edison and
Southern California Gas Company reported. Councilman Bay reported in appears
from this meeting that there are enough energy sources to avoid the necessity
of putting city staffs from the group to work duplicating and collecting data.
The program appears to be moving along very well and is getting good representation
from the five cities and a lot of help from the County.
114: PLANNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION ON ML ZONE AMENDMENT: Councilman Bay
reported on the Planning Commission workshop session which he attended August 6,
1979, at which there was a great deal of discussion on the proposed ML zoning
changes and a great deal of input from the industrial sector. He advised he
was particularly pleased to see heavy representation from the northeast canyon
industrial area.
144: NOMINATIONS FOR ORANGE COUNTY HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION: Mayor Seymour
reported that there are two vacancies on the Orange County Human Relations
Commission which will be acted upon at the League of California Cities meeting
to be held August 16, 1979. He requested Council consider the nomination of
Juanita Whitehead "Skip" Dinkler, 226 N. Rio Vista, Anaheim as the City of
Anaheim's candidate for appointment to this Commission. He related that
Mrs. Dinkler is a long-time resident of Anaheim and gave a brief summary of
her accomplishments and contributions to the community.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Overholt, the
Anaheim City Council determined to put the name of Mrs. Juanita Whitehead Dinkler
before the Orange County division of the League of California Cities for
appointment to one of the two vacancies on the Orange County Human Relations
Commission; and further the Council determined to work as diligently as possible
to solicit support from colleagues in neighboring cities on the League for Mrs.
Dinklers's appointment. MOTION CARRIED.

their support.
139: RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF ORANGE COAST NATIONAL PARK: Mayor Seymour
announced that he has, since the discussion of the Orange Coast National Park
at last week's meeting, made available to the Council copies of the packet of
information received on the Orange Coast National Park concept, which represents,
in his opinion, a wonderful opportunity for Southern California. He requested
the Council consider adoption of a resolution of support for the legislation
jointly sponsored by Congressmen Patterson and Badham and further supporting
the concept of the Orange County National Park.

153: PUBLIC HEARING - REVISED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN: Public hearing was
scheduled July 31, 1979 to solicit public input on a revised Affirmative Action
Plan for the City of Anaheim, and continued to this date and time to be heard
by full Council.
Mr. Garry McRae summarized that in October of 1977 the City Council authorized
the City of Anaheim entering a consortium with the Cities of Huntington Beach,
Fountain Valley and Westminster to develop revised Affirmative Action Plans
for each of the four cities. The consulting firm of Biddle and Associates,
assisted in the technical direction. The product of this effort is the
Affirmative Action Plan before the Council for approval at this time, which
represents the state of the art and complies with legislative, judicial and
federal regulations.
79-893
City Hall.~ ~naheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. McRae reported that this Affirmative Action Plan has been reviewed with
each Executive Manager in the City organization and their responsibilities
assigned. The Plan, together with Executive Management responsibilities had
been reviewed and approved by the City Manager, and the City has included
achievement of Affirmative Action goals as one of the indicators in perfor-
mance evaluations.
Mr. McRae concluded that with adoption of the proposed Affirmative Action Plan
for the City of Anaheim the City Council will renew its assurance that employ-
ment decisions will be made without regard to race, color, religion, sex or
age except in those areas where they may be bonafide occupational qualifications.
Mayor Seymour opened the floor to public discussion.
Jose Sandoval, Staff Specialist, Orange County Human Relations Commission read
a prepared statement from the Commission indicating that on June 28, 1977 Irma
Rodriquez, Chair of the Orange County Human Relations Commission, presented the
results of review of Anaheim's Affirmative Action Plan at that time. This
review included recommendations that: (1) the City immediately employ an
Affirmative Action Officer to develop, coordinate and monitor the comprehensive
program independent of the Personnel Department, reporting directly to the City
Manager; (2) that quarterly progress reports on Affirmative Action be submitted
for City Council review; (3) that a comprehensive Affirmative Action Plan
include goals and timetables reflecting the City's real ability to achieve
parity for minorities and women; a well-defined aggressive outreach program to
recruit minorities and women; and a thorough review of the City's collection
and testing procedures for new hires and promotions. Mr. Sandoval stated that
the most visible result of the recommendations is the document the City Council
is considering adopting entitled the "Affirmative Action Plan for the City of
Anaheim" which is a comprehensive plan designed to stimulate affirmative action
in the City. He noted that the Human Relations Commission commends the City
of Anaheim for its efforts in promoting equal opportunity in the largest city of
Orange County. Further he noted that the Human Relations Commission recognizes
this plan is new and must be implemented before positive results can be achieved.
However, in accordance with subsections 60-214 of the Compliance Statutes issued
by the Department of Labor the following statement was presented: "No contract
or compliance status shall be judged alone on whether or not it reaches the
goals or makes timetables, but rather each should be reviewed on content of
program, extent of adherence and good faith effort to make the program work."
According to Mr. Sandoval, it is the Human Relations Commission's opinion that
the data used to identify under-utilization of minorities and females in this
report is based upon outdated and therefore inaccurate information. He cited
as a specific example page 400,--information regarding police sergeants in the
Anaheim Police Department. He further cited that page 155 of the Plan indicates
that the availability data sources used for the report relied on data from the
1970 census and the current population surveys.
A review of other availability data used in the report shows the majority of
sources to be national in scope, followed by data used locally and by state.
Further the office of Federal Contract Compliance indicates if there is a
79-894
City ~all, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
substantial disparity in utilization of any particular minority group, or men
or women, then separate goals and timetables may be required for such groups.
The Orange County Human Relations Commission submitted the following recommen-
dation: that the Anaheim City Council adopt the proposed Affirmative Action
Plan after the following is completed: a utilization analysis be conducted
using availability data compiled by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Program for Orange County employers; (2) that the City Council adopt a mechan-
ism to review the progress of the new Affirmative Action Plan as suggested on
Page 446 of the Plan.
In closing, Mr. Sandoval stated that the Human Relations Commission again commends
the City for its efforts to promote equal employment opportunity and encourages
the Council to adopt both of their recommendations in order to strengthen the
City's Affirmative Action posture. Mr. Sandoval reported that the statement
was signed by Brenda Premo, Commissioner. (No written copy of the statement
was submitted.)
In reply to Mr. Sandoval's presentation Ms. Sue Anguiano explained that he is
correct, the information on page 400 relating to Police sergeants is inaccurate,
and the reason was an input error in the mechanization of the process. This was
discovered within the last few weeks and this data was corrected through Biddle
and Associates. The most recent information indicates 41 sergeants with disparity
for females, blacks and Hispanic and these have been added to the list of
disparities.
With regard to comments on availability data, Ms. Anguiano pointed out that there
is a comprehensive listing of all availability data used on page 146. Prior to
identifying what data would be used in the City of Anaheim's Affirmative Action
Plan a call was made to the Federal Office of Contract Compliance and the City
was informed by them that some of the information to be used would be outdated,
but there was not more current information available and therefore they would
recognize the data proposed to be used. She explained that a statement is
incorporated into the Plan indicating that when new data is available for 1980,
the program will be recreated using the most recent data available. She memarked
that they feel that this is the best they can do and reflects the state of the
art. Additionally, she pointed out that there are three columns representing
national, state and local sources, and that for any jobs, job groups, or EEO-4
categories which would have recruitment areas which extend outside of the local
area they would have used national or state data; if however it was determined
a majority of the employees in that particular category would come from a local
recruitment area, they would not have used national or state data.
Mayor Seymour asked Mr. Sandoval if Ms. Anguiano's explanations satisfied his
comment and he reiterated several times that the information prepared for the
federal office of Contract Compliance is the most current and therefore should
be included in the City Plan. Further he stated that he was pessimistic regar-
ding 1980 population census data, that this probably would not be available
until 1981 or 1982. In response to Councilman Bay's question as to how dynamic
the Plan would be, Ms. Anguiano explained the data will be updated on an annual
basis. Availability data would be updated as the work force is done. She
79-895
Cit~ Hall~ Ana~eim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M..
remarked that she had checked with other agencies before beginning the Affirm-
ative Action Plan and the majority are using population statistics even though
this has been indicated as possibly a problem, since population will give an
erroneous picture of the available work force. The problem indicated by Mr.
Sandoval is one most employers have, but the City's Affirmative Action Plan
will be updated using requisite skills in many cases, and the Office of
Contract Compliance data would be used in the updating as part of the vehicle
for developing a yardstick in the next Affirmative Action Plan.
Mr. Chris Chavez, 2230 Cliffpark Way, Anaheim stated that he addresses the
Council as a resident of the City, and a business owner of a minority enterprise
in the City of Anaheim and as President of the Latin Businessmen's Association
of Orange County. He explained that the latter organization is a group composed
of Hispanic business owners whose purpose is to open the doors of major cor-
porations and government purchasing organizations to the Hispanic entrepreneur.
With respect to the Affirmative Action Plan under consideration Mr. Chavez
recommended formation of a citizens advisory committee which would
monitor and evaluate the City's Affirmative Action Plan and its program of
implementation. He gave several specific recommendations as to the make-up
of the Committee, eligibility for membership, appointment by City Council, etc.
(These were submitted in letter form at a later date and are on file in the
Office of the City Clerk.)
Mr. Chavez stressed his opinion that Affirmative Action has not only to do with
employment but also with purchasing and that the record for purchasing from
minority business entrepreneurs is very poor. Mr. Chavez suggested that among
the responsibilities assigned to the City's Advisory Committee on the City's
Affirmative Action Plan would be to promote the minority recruitment program
which should include the City's purchasing policy; prepare periodic reports
to the City Council which would include the purchasing record from minority
businesses as well as an annual review and report to the Council on the City's
Affirmative Action Plan.
Mr. Rudolph Trujillo, Trujillo Consultants (Contract Compliance Consultants)
7403 Blackhawk Circle, Buena Park or 4959 Santa Anita, Temple City, California
described the services his company can provide in the area of Contract Compliance
and in administration of Affirmative Action programm. As far as the City of
Anaheim's Affirmative Action Plan was concerned, Mr. Trujillo recommended that
an individual be given the title of Officer in charge of the program with the
ability to function with some authority. Further he suggested implementation
of an advisory committee, as previously suggested by Mr. Chavez. Further he
felt the committee should contain in the area of seven to nine members with
two representatives from the City Council; some community and business input
from the minority and majority segments of the community as well.
In addition, Mr. Trujillo recommended a Contract Compliance program for the
City's redevelopment project which might include a "set aside program" wherein
bids received might be restricted to three minority bidders and the contract
awarded to the lower bidder of these three; or the use of negotiations as
79-896
City Hall~ Anaheim,. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
opposed to the sealed bid process. He explained the City has the flexibility
to provide these opportunities for minorities in the redevelopment project
whereas they do not in their Public Works projects.
At the conclusion of his presentation, Mr. TruJillo summarized that he
recommends an advisory committee be implemented; that an individual be either
hired or upgraded with the title of Contract Compliance Officer and that
Contract Compliance be implemented in the City's redevelopment project area
along with consideration of offering opportunities to minorities for professional
technical service type contracts.
Councilman Bay pointed out in response to Mr. Trujillo's suggestion on "set
aside projects"; that the City's redevelopment project is funded with tax
increment funds and is not a federal project.
Councilwoman Kaywood observed that by restricting the number of bids and limiting
these to minority firms, the City would be circumventing the bidding process and
might be spending more money.
Mr. Trujillo responded that although this may be a more difficult process it
should not cost the City any more money.
Mr. Amin David, 538 East Central Park Avenue, Anaheim agreed with the previous
speaker that the City's Affirmative Action Plan should include data determined
to be correct by the office of Federal Contract Compliance, which in his
opinion should show a much more needed picture as far as the Affirmative Action
posture for the City of Anaheim. He recalled that it was one year ago, through
the auspices of the Orange County Human Relations Commission, that a presentation
was made to the Council concerning the City Departments and their aggressiveness
or lack of same as far as Affirmative Action and the hiring of minorities.
At that time the Police Department was discussed and Mr. David stated that he
personally invariably comes to the conclusion that part of the problem exper-
ienced by the City of Anaheim in police-community relations can be attributed
to lack of proper representation on the Police Department. For example, he
cited the percentages of Hispanics comprising the Police Department personnel
from the years 1975-79 and observed that this percentage rose from 3% in 1975
to 5% in 1977 and 7% in 1978. However as of June 1979, the percentage stands
again at 5%. He further cited the Police Department breakdown into the
categories of male, female and Hispanic sworn officers. Mr. David stated that
these statistics lead him to believe that the City is not improving its Affirma-
tive Action posture as far as the Police Department is concerned but regressing
and would benefit if aggressive recruitment were done for this department. Mr.
David suggested that the City Council take notice of the fact that the Police
Department should have better minority representation, perhaps by the vehicle
of an Affirmative Action committee to report on progress and to begin a strong
recruitment process. By contrast, Mr. David pointed out that the Anaheim
Fire Department and the Library have no problem achieving adequate minority
representation on their work force, and he therefore must attribute part of
the fault to a lack of willingness or assertiveness in recruitment in these
other departments. He pointed out that the Police Department does not have
one Hispanic Police sergeant and in fact the highest ranked Hispanic officer
79-897
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Au[ust 7~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
is one lieutenant, Mr. David submitted that it would be difficult for the
non-Hispanic Police officers to experience the cultural awareness which might
bring about the resolution of some of the problems the City continues to have
with the current ratios of Hispanic officers.
In addition Mr. David requested that the City Council address the subject of
a policy which he encountered in attempting to obtain some information, which
prohibits the Police Department from releasing information to him and specifically
by whom and how the policy was created.
Ms. Anguiano responded that in fact the City's Affirmative Action Plan does
reflect areas of disparity as pointed out by Mr. David. One of the reasons for
the disparity of minority police sergeants is that there have not been any
positions to fill. In addition, Mr. McRae pointed out that the eligibility
list for promotion to sergeant was adjudicated in arbitration between the staff
and the Anaheim Police Association and fixed for two years, and will not expire
until spring of 1980.
Attempting to respond to Mayor Seymour's question regarding percentages of Police
Department personnel as quoted by Mr. David, Ms. Anguiano stated that she could
not even evaluate this since the did not know what Mr. David's statistics repre-
sent, and they do not coincide with those shown in the City's Affirmative Action
Plan.
Mr. David explained that he obtained his figures from Jose Sandoval of the Orange
County Human Relations Commission because he was unable to obtain them from the
Anaheim Police Department because of the reported City policy. Mayor Seymour
requested that the City policy on such information be explained.
Mr. Talley advised that because some of the statistics compiled deal with
individual personal data which is confidential by definition, the City's policy
is that any official agency charged with evaluating the City's Affirmative
Action Plan or EEO results may have access to the files; whereas private indi-
viduals seeking such information are not allowed access.
Mr. David read from his letter requesting the information to indicate the types
of data he had sought. He related that he received a reply from Lieutenant
Richard Gray dated March 1, 1979 indicating that it is the policy of the City
not to release much information except to an offical orgnanization charged with
evaluation of Affirmative Action or EEO and that "Los Amigos de Anaheim", on
whose behalf Mr. David sought the information, did not fall into that category.
Subsequently Mr. David explained that he wrote requesting a copy of this policy
and has never received a reply; the date of his last letter was June 5, 1979.
Discussion ensued as to the nature of personal information versus that which
might be released and Mr. Talley explained that when there are only one or
two individuals within a specific rank or classification code, the statistics
do reveal ethnic information about these individuals, which is personal infor-
mation. Mayor Seymour indicated that he had a problem with a policy under
which information is available to a bureaucracy such as the federal government
and unless there is some liability, felt that information should also be
available to the taxpayers.

City Hall.~ .Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
At the conclusion of discussion it was determined that the EEO-4 form which
is contained in the City's Affirmative Action plan could be released to private
individuals and contains the statistical information desired by Mr. David,
in that there is a breakdown as to sworn and non-sworn officers by ethnic
background. However Mr. McRae reiterated that information pertaining to an
individual's ethnic background would be available only to official agencies
who require it in the course of their evaluation of the City's Affirmative
Action Plan and not to individual people.
Mayor Seymour advised that it should be clearly understood that whatever
information can be made available to individuals or groups requesting it
should be given out. Further Councilman Overholt pointed out that he felt
Los Amigos de Anaheim is entitled to a response to their letter of June 5, 1979
and noted that although he is sensitve to the legal technicalities involved,
did feel that the City should release whatever data they are able to without
some legal exposure.
Mr. Talley advised that he would carefully review the City's policy again and
prepare a report to the Council.
Mayor Seymour suggested that the Council will look forward to receiving a report
and comments at a later date from both the City Manager and the Human Resources
Director on all of the recommendations made during this public hearing.
There being no further persons who wished to address the Council on the City's
Affirmative Action Plan, Mayor Seymour closed the public hearing.
Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 79R-462 for adoption. Refer to
Resolution Book.

City .Hal!, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 7~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or his agent were present and there was no
responme.
Mayor Seymour questioned the recommendation for approval of moving a single-
family residential structure onto Harbor Boulevard, which is an extremely busy
arterial street and not a suitable place for a single-family home. He suggested
perhaps the applicant intended to move the structure and then convert it to
a commercial use.
Miss Santalahti explained that the recommendation was based upon the current
zoning on the property (RM-2400) which would permit a one-family detached dwell-
ing unit subject to requirements of either the RS-7200 or RS-5000 zone. The
nature of the traffic on Harbor Boulevard was discussed with the applicant
originally and he recognized that it is a busy arterial highway.
Mayor Seymour asked if anyone else wished to address the Council regarding the
House Moving application and there was no response.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Overholt the
City Council continued the public hearing on application for House Move On at
918 North Barbor Boulevard to the meeting of August 14, 1979 to allow the
Zoning Division time to contact the applicant to determine whether or not he
intends to pursue the House Move On application. MOTION CARRIED.

tional Use Permit No. 1991 subject to certain conditions contained therein and

Review of the City Planning Commission action was requested by Councilman Roth
at the July 10, 1979 Council meeting and public hearing scheduled this date.
Mayor Seymour asked if the applicant or his agent were present and there was

Mayor Seymour asked if anyone wished to address the Council either in favor
or opposition to Conditional Use Permit No. 1991 and, there being no response,
he declared the public hearing closed.
