FLAG SALUTE: Councilman Don Roth led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance
to the Flag.
119: SPECIAL PRESENTATION: Mayor Seymour explained that because of a recent
absence from the City, he had to forego welcoming the Circus to Anaheim. The
Circus, wanting to be properly recognized, asked that one of the leaders of the
City mount and ride one of the Circus elephants. Mayor Pro Tem Overholt wisely
delegated that responsibility to Councilman Roth, who previously reported his
exciting experience to the Council in great detail. In recognition of Council-
man Roth's service, Councilwoman Kaywood took time, consideration and concern
to properly recognize that feat. Councilwoman Kaywood thereupon presented
Councilman Roth with a large poster of Bingo, the Circus elephant, which Council-
man Roth rode through the streets of Anaheim.
Councilman Roth accepted the gift with deep appreciation.
119: PRESENTATION OF POLICE OLYMPIC WINNERS: Police Chief George Tielsch

Mattis, a gold medal winner in power lifting in his weight division, which

in Alameda County.
Detective Jim Watkins, long standing coordinator of the Olympics activities
in which Anaheim Police Officer§ had been involved for some time, stated
that he wanted to thank the Council personally for the tremendous support
received by the City, Police Department and the Anaheim Police Association.
Everyone of the officers realized how much the City was behind them and the
support was probably the best received in the State.

of miscellaneous accounts receivable and $323,490.20 of utility accounts
receivable for FY 1978-79.
Mr. George Ferrone, Finance Director, and Mr. Don Metzger, Assistant Customer
Service Manager, then answered questions posed by Councilman Bay for purposes
of clarification.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Roth suggested that they try to get
the best collection agent possible to assist in the uncollectibles in the
Utilities Department.
City Manager Talley stated he would have Mr. Ferrone evaluate the situation and
report back to the Council in one or two months.
After further discussion, Councilman Roth suggested that next year there be a
breakdown of uncollectible write-offs relative to dollar amounts, such as
Utilities and the like, vs. damage to traffic signals and other such items beyond
the City's control.
79-904
C.ity Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14.; 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Bay stated he would be interested in looking at collectible vs.
non-collectible and if there were any that were collectible, he was interested
in some improvement ratio on those or whatever the management plan might be to
solve that situation.
Mr. Talley stated that next year they would provide substantially more detail on
all but the Utility items, which were literally in the thousands.
On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Bay, the write-off of
certain uncollectible accounts for fiscal years 1977-78 and 1978-79 in the
amounts previously articulated were approved, as recommended in memorandum
dated August 3, 1979 from the City Manager's office. MOTION CARRIED.

the Council had previously approved the purchase of the subject radios required

equipment. However, inasmuch as the purchase was over $10,000, it was being
submitted for Council authorization.
On motion by Councilman Overholt, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the Purchasing
Agent was authorized to issue a purchase order in the amount of $18,077.85, to
Motorola, Inc., for twenty-one (21) mobile radios, as recommended in memorandum
dated August 2, 1979 from the Purchasing Agent. MOTION CARRIED.

123: EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY SOFTWARE SYSTEM: Councilwoman Kaywood offered
Resolution No. 79R-465 for adoption as recommended in memorandum dated August 8,
1979 from the Human Resources Director, approving a lease agreement with Biddle
and A~sociates, Inc., in the amount of $6,625 for an Equal Employment Opportunity

APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITY SOFTWARE SYSTEM WITH BIDDLE & ASSOCIATES, INC. AND AUTHORIZING
AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE SAID LEASE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Seymour stated it appeared the cost would be
$6,625 the first year, and then $1,800 for a twelve-month period thereafter.
Mrs. Sue Anguiano, Affirmative Action Employment Specialist, stated that was
not correct, but it provided the option to release at that cost. Hopefully
they would be able to continue the necessary reporting with the system they
had adopted for the personnel payroll project.
The Mayor stated he obviously misunderstood because it seemed they were leasing
a software program that would permit them to track their efforts relative to
Affirmative Action.
Mrs. Anguiano stated that was correct. They were going to continue to track,
but whether or not they could do it with the new personnel payroll system or
whether they had to continue with Biddle and Associates had not yet been det-
ermined. That would be determined at some point in the future when they could
get some recommendation from the WANG representative.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution.

dated August 8, 1979 from Risk Manager Jack Love. MOTION CARRIED.

In response to questions by Councilman Bay, Mr. Ferrone answered that incumber-
ances were shown, even though monies were not expended until the following year,
as a municipal accounting technique.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Overholt, the unaudited
financial statement for the period ending June 30, 1979 was received and filed,
as recommended in memorandum dated August 8, 1979 from the Director of Finance.
MOTION CARRIED.
158: SALE OF EQUESTRIAN CENTER PROPERTY - FIFTEEN ACRES: Councilwoman Kaywood
offered Resolution No. 79R-469 for adoption as recommended authorizing the
execution of a Corporation Grant Deed to Texaco-Anaheim Hills, Inc., for the
sale of 15 acres of property located at the Equestrian Center in the amount
of $210,000. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 79R-469: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF CERTAIN CITY PROPERTY TO TEXACO-ANAHEIM HILLS, INC.
Before a vote was taken, the Mayor asked Mr. Talley if the $210,000 was included
as a revenue source of income in the 1979-80 Budget.
Mr. Talley answered that it was and in the report Council would be receiving
at the meeting of August 28, 1979, they netted the figure in the amount of
$86,000. It was assumed that the Council would deposit the $210,000 and then
credit against the land payment the amount for the 15 acres still owing and
the remaining $86,000 would be disbursed by the Council as part of the capital
improvement prioritization. In the primary list, the Council already authorized
$150,000 in Golf Course improvements.
The Mayor emphasized that the Council promised, and he reaffirmed that promise,
that the appropriate share of proceeds of sale of that property would be used
for Golf Course improvements. He wanted to be certain they stayed true to their
word.
Mr. Talley clarified that $86,000 net had been put in the public improvement
fund and there was approximatley $300,000 worth of Golf Course improvements
coming out of that.
79-908
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14~ 1979, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth noted there was a problem at the Anaheim Hills Course relative
to golf carts, and he wanted to know if that included some additional carts.
Mr. Talley stated the carts were not included, but they would be on the list for
consideration on August 28, 1979.
A vote was then taken of the foregoing resolution.

Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Overholt, the Orange County Counsel
was authorized to defend the City in the matter of TRW, Inc. vs. County of
Orange, City of Anaheim, et al, relating to property taxes, as recommended in
memorandum dated August 8, 1979 from the City Attorney's office. MOTION
CARRIED.
156: ORDINANCE NO. 4034 - BICYCLE LICENSING: Councilman Bay offered Ordinance
No. 4034 for first reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 4034: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING SUBSECTIONS
.020, .040 AND .050 OF SECTION 5.04.010, ADDING NEW SECTION 5.04.065, AND
AMENDING SECTION 5.04.070 OF CHAPTER 5.40, TITLE 5, OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO BICYCLE LICENSING.
108: NEWSRACK IMPOUND FEE: City Attorney Hopkins stated that the proposed
resolution would set a fee to be charged to the owner for return of newsracks
impounded as a result of the City's recently adopted Ordinance No. 4008. The
fee recommended was $35 and the resolution would implement that provision of
the Ordinance.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 79R-470 for adoption establishing a
newsrack impound fee of $35. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 79R-470: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
ESTABLISHING A NEWSRACK IMPOUND FEE.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Roth asked staff when the Ordinance was
going to be implemented so that he could answer inquiries from his constituents;
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if $35 would cover the actual cost.
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, answered that the Ordinance
would become effective on August 29, 1979, and they would begin impounding
newsracks after that date. The $35 only covers the cost of impounding, i.e.,
picking the newsrack up and putting it in storage.
79-909
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
The Mayor asked if it would be found to be unreasonable in a court of law in
defending the Ordinance if they were to increase the fee to $100.
City Attorney Hopkins stated the current state of the law provided that charges
of this type must be related to the actual cost. Miss Santalahti indicated
that $35 would be the cost of picking up the newsracks. He believed that the
owner in recovering the rack would provide his own transportation. He suggested
that perhaps a $50 fee would not be out of line.
Miss Santalahti explained that they discussed the cost of administering the
whole procedure. Two divisions, Licensing and Facility Maintenance, would be
involved and it was felt that as of the moment, $35 was an adequate amount.
However, they were not charging for administrative costs.
The Mayor emphasized that he wanted the fee to be as high as legally possible.
It had been too long where they had not taken a strong enough position on
the situation and their constituents wanted to know that the Council was doing
everything possible to place a deterrent on the pornography that was evident
in many of the newsracks in the City.
Councilman Bay asked the City Attorney, if they charged a fee over and above
costs, which implied a punitive action, would that have a detrimental effect
in the enforcement of the law.
City Attorney Hopkins stated if they were to go beyond a reasonable limit, it
could impair the validity of the ordinance. He maintained that raising the
fee to $50 at this time would not be out of order and then if they found costs
were going higher after some experience, it could be amended by resolution.
Councilman Roth was agreeable to raising the fee to $50. He also stated that
in his opinion once so-called illegal racks were confiscated one time, he did
not believe they would be back again.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution amended to increase the
impound fee to $50.

motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Roth, the Mayor was
designated as the voting delegate and the Mayor Pro Tem designated as the
alternate to the Annual League of California Cities conference to be held
in San Francisco September 22-25, 1979. MOTION CARRIED.
79-910
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
102: REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO DISPLAY A LIVE CAGED LION: Request by Oak
Ridge Realty, Inc., for permission to display a live caged lion at a convention
to be held October 11 and 12, 1979 at the Disneyland Hotel, was submitted.
Mayor Seymour first asked the City Attorney since he was an officer in the
California Association of Realtors which would be holding the convention,
would it be his recommendation that he abstain from discussion and voting.
Mr. Hopkins stated he did not think under FPPC rules that would be considered
a disqualification. He might feel from his own personal association that he
should abstain; however, him abstention would go to the majority vote.
Councilman Roth stated he was also a member, but that Oak Ridge Realty was
the requestor and not the Association, and thus he would not abstain.
Mayor Seymour indicated he would not abstain as well.
Mr. Jamie Moon, 358 East Rowland, Covina, first submitted pictures to the Council
depicting the lion with him daughters standing next to it. He emphasized that
the lion was not going to be displayed in the manner depicted in the City of
Anaheim. The animal had become the mascot of Oak Ridge Realty, and they wished
it to be part of their exhibit at the convention at the Disneyland Hotel exhibit
hall. He explained that every precaution had been taken to make it a safe
situation. The lion would never leave the cage. The cage would be transported
on wheels and, as shown in the picture, the area marked "X" was right by the
freight door. The lion would be driven into that point, parked and left in
that area. The cage was also six feet off the ground making it safe for any-
body walking around it, and it not only had bars, but also chain link fencing
to preclude the protrusion of claws. It would be sitting in an area that
would be roped off, and two trainers would be posted in that area.
The matter of insurance had also been brought to their attention. The lion
was insured as explained in his letter of August 14, 1979 to the Council and
the policy would include the City of Anaheim, Oak Ridge Realty and Disneyland
Hotel and the Association. More important than the financial liability, was
the safety factor in making certain that the public was not endangered. Gentle
Jungle, the owners of Zambia the Lion, in their 28 years of business had never
had a single problem with their animals. He respectfully requested that the
Council consider their request favorably.
Councilman Bay asked Mr. Moon how much liability insurance he was talking about.
Mr. Moon stated whatever the Council determined reasonable, but they had been
talking about $500,000.
Councilman Bay then asked the City Attorney's opinion on the liability question.
City Attorney Hopkins stated he felt there was liability on the part of the City
in the event there were any accidents or incidents resulting in injuries. He
felt that the insurance described would cover the City's liability, but the Risk
Manager might want to add more than the $500,000. He also recommended a hold
79-911
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
harmless agreement to provide that the City would be held harmless by Oak Ridge
Realty.
Mr. Jack Love, Risk Manager, stated that the City Attorney's recommendation was
in order, A minimum of $500,000 should be required, with the City to be named
as an additional insured. He also explained for the Mayor and Councilwoman
Kaywood that the City had additional coverage where up to $20 million would
apply in this case if, by chance, the City would be held responsible for any
incident. He did not believe there was an exclusion to that type of exposure.
If there were some claiM, it would have an adverse affect upon future premiums
should the City be held liable above $500,000.
In answer to Councilman Bay, Mr. Moon did not feel there was any problem in
providing a hold harmless agreement along with $500,000 in insurance.
Further discussion then followed between Council and staff relative to the
insurance coverage involved when the Circus was in town and how that was
handled.
Councilman Overholt referred to the report from the Police Department recommending
against the subject activity and waiving the effect of the ordinance. He assumed
when it was passed originally, it was to discourage the keeping of wild animals
in the City for whatever purpose. They were being asked to waive that impact
for commercial purposes. He felt that the Circus and the present situation
were two different cases. This was a client of the Disneyland Hotel for a
convention and it was primarily a promotional item on behalf of a realty
organization. In his opinion, the ordinance was passed for a purpose and he
was going to enforce it.
Mayor Seymour stated he was supportive of the ordinance but that ordinance
prohibited the keeping of wild animals in the City on one's property, but it
did not pertain to a show, a convention or an activity such as the Circus,
otherwise the Circus would be violating that ordinance. He felt that the
Chief's recommendation was a prudent one because it would be a safer situation
without the lion.
Councilman Overholt reiterated that the Circus was an entirely different type
of operation, and he asked the City Attorney if the Circus applied for a waiver
of the ordinance.
Mr. Hopkins stated it provided a special exception for wild animals in Circuses,
carnivals and shows.
Councilman Overholt then wanted to know why their request was before the Council.
Mr. Hopkins stated it was required for a waiver or modification of regulation
and exceptional cases were brought before the Council for approval because of
unusual activity. The Circus was a regular exception to the ordinance.
79-912
City Hal~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour wanted to know as far as interpreting the ordinance if the Circus
was an exhibit or a show not subject to the ordinance, how was it that the
request under consideration was not interpreted as an exhibit.
Mr. Hopkins explained this was for a Special Events Permit for an event to be
held in the exhibit hall of the Disneyland Hotel (Chapter 4.02 of the AMC).
In every convention, the exhibitor had to get a Special Events Permit if the
event were held in the Convention Center.
The Mayor pointed out that the convention was being held in a private convention
center rather than public and the dialogue supported his point that the activity
being requested had little or nothing to do with the ordinance if construed
relative to the keeping of wild animals.
Councilman Overholt stated he was not on the Council when the Ordinance was
passed. If there was an exception in the language of the ordinance permitting
the activity in a convention setting, he was not certain that the matter was
properly before the Council and he would back off; Mr. Hopkins noted that the
waiver was properly before the Council.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that the subject request be approved with the
justification that in his opinion he did not intrepret the decision to be a
waiver of the ordinance. Councilman Roth seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, the Mayor continued that the City Attorney and Chief
of Police having evaluated the matter wanted to insure to the greatest degree
possible that the City did not incur a risk, thus using the ordinance to deny
the request. He maintained that to do so in this case would be discriminatory
and totally unfair.
Councilman Overholt asked the Police Chief if the debate had changed his opinion
and also having heard the precautions, if he felt that the risk was minimized.
Police Chief George Tielsch stated that the debate had not changed his opinion.
The Mayor was correct - the duty of the Police Department was that of a "nay-
sayer." They evaluated a situation and made a recommendation they deemed to be
in the best interest of the City based on a safety standpoint. Relative to
the precautions, he was out of the Council Chamber when they were announced,
but Captain Kennedy was present.
Captain Kennedy stated he had heard the precautions that were going to be
taken but their concerns would still remain the same.
Councilman Bay stated he wanted to offer an amendment to the motion to include
that the requestors stipulate to liability insurance of $500,000 and also to
a hold harmless agreement with the City; the Mayor accepted the amendment.
Mrs. Edith Hasse, 730 North Lemon, contended that the Circus was a public exhibit,
but the convention was not a public exhibit and that made a difference. She
believed that the citizens of Anaheim and the City Council should support the
Police. She was present to give her full support to the Police because she felt
that lions belonged in zoos and circuses and not in real estate conventions.
79-913
Cit~ Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion with amendments as stipulated.
Council Members Kaywood and Overholt voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.
108: HOPE HOUSE CORPORATION - REQUEST FOR 60-DAY EXTENSION TO AN EXISTING B~NGO
LICENSE: Mr. Frank Black, 9121 Amethyst, Rancho Cucamongo, San Bernardino,
stated he had an opportunity to read the City Attorney's report dated July 31,
1979. He then updated the Council on the activity of Hope House (see minutes
May 1, 1979) which was a long-term residential program in Orange County that
had serviced over 250 young people with drug and alcoholic problems. His
purpose was to help young people and not to stay in the Bingo business. They
had been before the Board of Supervisors relative to Revenue Sharing refunding,
but their problem lay in the fact that by the time the Board and staff hearings
were completed and priorities established, there would be a period of approximately
30 days where they would have no funding whatsoever. He currently had 26
young people under his care in Santa Ana and desperately needed the revenue.
He emphasized that they were the only Bingo operators being forced out of
business as a result of the new ordinance. One of the things stated by the
City Attorney was a concern over the three-day limitation. They had never
operated over three days. They started at one, then two and stayed at three.
They had not created mny problems and no formal complaints had bemn made to
Hope House by the Police Department.
The Mayor asked if Hope House had been cited or if anything had been found to
be improper in their operation; Police Chief Tielsch answered that he had just
been assured by Lieutenant Wilcox that the answer was "no".
Mayor Seymour then asked for clarification that, (1) Mr. Black was requesting
a 60-day extension and in the event after 60 days if they were unable to re-
locate, then they would close the operation, and (2) if they found another
location, they would file for a new license.
Mr. Black answered that relative to the first question, that was correct but
regarding the second, that was not necessarily true. They had two grants
pending at the moment. Bingo was a thing of necessity and not choice, and they
had no alternative but to use it as a fund raiser. He then assured the }~yor
in the event of relocation, they would apply for a new license and also if the
60-day extension were granted, he would not be back to the Council in 90 days
asking for another extension. He explained further that his Board was not
interested in going into the Bingo business at any greater length. They had
not anticipated the explosiveness, competitiveness, the bad press and all of
the things surrounding Bingo which took place and although they had found a
facility that would probably be approved for Bingo, it would create problems
with residents, as well as other problems in the City, and they did not want to
be involved in that whole arena.
In answer to questions posed by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Black stated he had
not been actively pursuing Bingo, but instead private foundations and donations.
They did not want to get involved in Bingo and they did not want to relocate
but needed the extension of time because there would be an approximate 45-day
period without funds. Relative to funds to carry them over that period, such
funds would be dependent upon a number of things. Some months' receipts were
such that it was possible to put away $6000 or $8000, while that was not possible
other months.

City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Albert Pearson, attorney, 253 North Pacific, Santa Ana, stated for purposes
of clarification the reason there was no active pursuit of a new location was
that Hope House felt that Bingo was not the most acceptable way to fund their
program, and thus they had been seeking other funding procedures. However,
there was a period where there would be no funding for Hope House unless Bingo
were allowed to continue for the 60-day period they were requesting.
Councilman Bay asked Mr. Black, (1) where their actual Hope House operation was
located, and (2) how long they had been running their Bingo operation in the
City.
Mr. Black answered that their facility was located at 9842 13th Street, an old
County facility in an unincorporated area of Santa Ana. Secondly, their Bingo
operation in Anaheim started September 13, 1978.
Councilman Bay then stated so that Mr. Black understood his position, he felt
strongly if they did not deny the request, they were in effect overriding and
reversing the decision setting a three-day ordinance. The decision would be
not to enforce the terms of the ordinance against the licensee, and he agreed
with the City Attorney's legal position as outlined in his report.
MOTION: Councilman Bay continued that his position had nothing to do with the
good work he heard all about that supposedly came from Bingo although he had
never agreed in principle that Bingo profits were a substitute for charity or
anything else. Therefore, he could not favor the appeal and thereupon moved
to deny the request for a 60-day extension to an existing Bingo license of
Hope House Corporation. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Overholt stated that the amendment to the
ordinance took a long time to happen. If Mr. Black was going to bite the bullet
on using Bingo as a source of financing for his good work, he suggested he do so
now, rather than ask the Council to back down from an ordinance put into effect
for a very good reason. He agreed with Councilman Bay that the issue was a
question of how the City chose to handle Bingo and not the merits of Hope House.
Mr. Black stated that the Council's position was well taken and the ordinance
was well thought out, but one of the things that they did not realize was who
they affected. The decision for three days a week was to stop some of the big
operators; however, the only organization hurt was Hope House because they were
the only organization that had to relocate and thus the only one affected by it.
If they were to bite the bullet today, they could not keep their program open.
Mayor Seymour asked for clarification from the City Attorney that his concern
was that granting the request would jeopardize the enforceability of the
ordinance. The particular portion of the ordinance for which an exemption
was being requested was that concerning location and not the days of operation.
He wanted to know if the concern revolved around the possibility that the
entire ordinance would be thrown out or that the provision relative to the
place of operation would be thrown out. He asked that the City Attorney be
more specific.
79-915
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Au~qst 14, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Hopkins explained that the new ordinance provided that there may only be
one organization on the premises and that organization shall be limited to
three days. There was no waiver provision in the ordinance and, therefore, the
ordinance would have to be amended in order to change that particular section.
Hope House was the first organization to fall under the provisions of the new
ordinance because their license was going to expire August 31, 1979. Unless
a waiver provision were included, it was his opinion that to grant the request
would be setting a precedent which would surface later on when every other
organization would be affected by it.
Mayor Seymour stated he was concerned that they not jeopardize the three day
ordinance, but he was not convinced that by granting a waiver or exemption
relative to the place of operation would throw out the rest of the ordinance.
City Attorney Hopkins read from the Code the actual provision they were dealing
with and reiterated if they were to grant a waiver, they would be setting a
precedent that might later result in other similar requests when the license
of other organizations expired. They include a provision in the ordinance
that a waiver of the provision could be authorized on the vote of the City
Council, but presently that provision was not included in the ordinance.
After a further brief discussion on the matter between the Mayor and the City
Attorney, Mr. Hopkins emphasized that of concern, was that granting the request
would jeopardize the enforceability of the ordinance by giving a basis for
allegations of discriminating enforcement and denial of equal protection of
the laws by other licensees who must comply with the three-day limitation.
Mr. Pearson then pointed out in the Code Section under "Severability" it provided
that if any portion of the ordinance was stricken or found improper, the rest
of the ordinance would stand. As to the times of operation, even if the location
of operation would change, the severability paragraph would permit the continued
enforcement of the remainder of the ordinance. If that came up, he would then
ask if the Council would seek to put in a waiver provision and seek to have a
nunc pro tunc amendment to allow a maximum of a 60-day waiver as to the license.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that although she was not questioning the value of
services provided by Hope House or Widow's Anonymous, she had to agree with
Councilman Bay that Bingo proceeds were not the proper way to fund their
activities. She also agreed with the City Attorney that to grant the extension
would jeopardize the ordinance. If the first waiver was allowed, she did not
see how they could deny others a similar waiver.
The Mayor stated that he totally supported the activity in which Mr. Black was
involved and he did not want to see him going back to the public trough. How-
ever, if their vote meant a difference between an. enforceable ordinance and one
that was not, the Council would be wise to follow the advice of its legal counsel.
Although he did not intend to deny the request, he would have to go with the
motion to deny.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.

105: ANAHEIM YOUTH COMMISSION BY-LAWS: On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood,
seconded by Councilman Overholt, an amendment to the Anaheim Youth Commission
by-laws was approved, providing for one meeting per month on the second

107: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - HOUSE MOVING: Request by R. W. Bettis, to
move a single-family residential structure for its present location at 217
7th Street, Huntington Beach, to 918 North Harbor Boulevard.
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, stated that following last
week's meeting (see minutes August 7, 1979), Mr. Bettis was contacted by
telephone to inquire as to what he intended to do with the house, whether it
would be retained as a single-family or if some modification was involved. He
indicated he was no longer interested in a house moving permit. After he filed
and paid the fees, he inquired as to the zoning requirements on the particular
property and found he could not make some modifications he wanted to make.
However, he did not withdraw his request for the permit which was processed,
and he was unwilling to send his request for withdrawal in writing. She
therefore recommended that the request for permit be denied.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak, either the applicant or anyone in
favor or in opposition; the applicant was not present and there was no other
response. He therefore closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION: On motion by Councilman
Roth, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council ratified the determination
of the Planning Director that the proposed activity falls within the definition of
Section 3.01, of the City of Anaheim guidelines to the requirements for an Envi-
ronmental Impact Report and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement
to file and EIR. MOTION CARRIED.

114: COUNCIL MEETING - SEPTEMBER 25, 1979: Councilman Overholt stated that
initially he was not going to attend the Annual League of California Cities
Convention in San Francisco September 22-25, 1979. Since he now planned to
attend, he believed it appropriate that no Council meeting be held on Tuesday,
September 25, 1979 since the entire Council would not be present.
MOTION: Councilman Overholt thereupon moved to declare the Council's intent
not to hold a Council meeting Tuesday, September 25, 1979, since the Council
would be attending the Annual League of California Cities meeting in San
Francisco. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
79-922
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
161: "WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DOWNTOWN" BROCHURE: Councilman Overholt cormnended
Mr. Norm Priest, Executive Director of Community Development, and those respon-
sible for the, "What's Happening in Downtown" which he had distributed to a
number of interested friends. It was an easy and complete way of explaining
what was happening in the Redevelopment area, which at this time was extremely
important.
114: SCAG AIRPORT SITE WORKSHOP: Councilwoman Kaywood reported that she attended
the August 9, 1979 SCAG Airport Site Workshop held in Garden Grove where she
stated the Council's opposition to the Chino Hills site. They were still working
on five potential sites.
114: JOINT POWERS FIRE TRAINING AUTHORITY: Councilwoman Kaywood reported that
she attended the August 8, 1979 special meeting of the Joint Powers Fire Training
Authority at 7:30 A.M. They had filed an intent for an arson training federal
grant of over $200,000 to cover 18 months. The 10% match would be funded by
the Authority from their own funds.
114: CALTRANS PROJECT IN ANAHEIM: Councilwoman Kaywood referred to the exchange
of correspondence relative to the Caltrans landscaping project in Anaheim with
Councilman A1 Hollinden, the latest having been sent to him by Bob Datel, District
Director of Caltrans. In view of that letter, she would be inclined to go
along with the request that the landscaping project be retained without
prejudicing other Anaheim projects that were also of great importance and that
the City would like to have both. According to that letter, one did not
necessarily cancel out the other.
Mayor Seymour stated they should make it clear, however, that they were supporting
the Orange County Transportation Commission.
Councilwoman Kaywood explained it was not supporting that because OCTO wanted to
eliminate the landscaping completely.
Mayor Seymour then stated in that case, they would be giving way to what had
been rumored to be the divide and conquer tactics of Caltrans.
Councilwoman Kaywood answered she knew that was Councilman Hollinden's view,
but according to Mr. Datel, he was also upset about the letter itself, that
they had been jointly working well together and did not want to see that type
of schism taking place. The other projects would not be precluded by supporting
the Caltrans lanscaping project promised to the City. She suggested that the
Council postpone taking any action for one more week, since there was a League
of Cities meeting on Thursday, August 16, 1979, where all the cities and Mr.
Hollinden could discuss the matter further.
Councilman Bay stated it was difficult to separate facts from the rhetoric contained
in the letter and did not want to do anything that would jeopardize Orange County
Transportation Commission's position on the important factors involved.
The Mayor stated that the matter would be held over one week.
79-923
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 14~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
148: APPOINTEE TO ADVISORY COUNCIL OF THE SCAqMD: Councilman Roth reported
that Mr. Dick McMillan had been appointed to the South Coast Air Quality Manage-
ment District Advisory Council, which Council contained a mix of both industry
and environmentalists who guided the Board's thinking. He considered Mr.
McMillan's appointment to be an asset to the Council.
114: NEWSRACK AND GAS STATION FUEL PRICING ENFORCEMENT: Councilman R~th again
expressed his concern that the newsrack ordinance be enforced. He also explained
that the people who called him relative to that matter invariably asked about
the gas station signing ordinance and its enforcement. He suggested that a
report be submitted to the Council at the next meeting on that issue.
Miss Santalahti then explained the steps being taken relative to enforcement.
The Mayor explained that he had discussed the matter with the Zoning Enforcement
Officer and part of the problem revolved around the fact that some stations
were awaiting new signs they had ordered to accommodate the required pricing.
Some of those stations who had not yet complied showed Mr. Walp evidence that
the signs were on order.
173: ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR CITY VEHICLES: Councilman Roth stated that a few
weeks ago he spoke about the possiblity of converting City vehicles to other
types of fuels. A recent newspaper article reported that the County fleet was
preparing for a fuel change-over, and he was certain that staff was monitoring
the situation. He had also had a recent discussion with Mr. Larry Slagle of
the Yellow Cab Company who informed him that his vehicles were burning natural
gas and that it was a successful program. He suggested that staff in their
monitoring process also speak with Mr. Slagle to obtain performance records
on the dual system of using both natural gas and regular gas in their vehicles
which had a great deal of merit. It was cost effective and contributed to
curbing air pollution.
172: TRAFFIC FLOW AND CIRCULATION IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA: Councilman Bay asked
when they might expect a report on the subject which he recently requested.
Mr. Talley stated he believed it was due the next week, and he would be certain
it would be submitted at that time.
105: LIAISON COMMITTEE MEETING WITH HACMAC AND PLANNING COMMISSION: Mayor
Seymour reported on the subject meeting which he attended, along with Council-
woman Kaywood, which was subsequent to disbanding HACMAC. What came from that
meeting was an expressed concern that there appeared to be a change in the
Anaheim Hills area and the type of housing being offered in the marketplace,
i.e., a move away from single-family residences to more condominiums. It was
felt this was in response to ever-rising prices for housing. Although there
seemed to be an understanding of that change in the Liaison Committee, it was
felt that it would be beneficial to have the Liaison Committee and the Chairman
and the Vice Chairman of the Planning Commission, along with Mrs. Jan Hall and
Mr. Lynn Buffington, meet for a briefing session with Anaheim Hills at their
