156: COMMUNITY MEETING - RIVERDALE SCHOOL AREA - NOVEMBER 7, 1979: Receive and
file report relating to the community meeting held November 7, 1979 concerning
problems in the Riverdale School area.
City Manager William Talley briefed the Council on report dated November 13, 1979
concerning the November 7, 1979 community meeting which took place at the request
of the Riverdale School PTA (on file in the City Clerk's office).
Mayor Seymour stated that the report was clear relative to what took place at
the meeting and the subsequent action to be taken. It appeared they had a
nucleus of citizens in that area who cared and to that degree, the City should
be most cooperative. As a result of the meeting and with regard to one of the
major concerns, graffiti, the City Attorney reported earlier that there was
some anti-graffiti ordinances and programs that were working. To that end, he
asked the City Attorney to research the matter and bring forth an ordinance
for consideration. It would be presented next week, combined with a program
under which, in certain cases, they would be able to utilize Public Works or
at least use public funds to paint over or cover up graffiti on walls abutting
public streets.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she was particularly concerned relative to the
gang activity outlined in the report.
The Mayor stated that Captain Kennedy was very concerned as well and they were
taking all actions possible. As long as they continued to work with the citizens,
he felt they would eventually be successful.
City Manager Talley explained that an item not mentioned in the report was an
action taken approximately six months ago, approving School Resource Officers.
Before they could be in the field, they had to be recruited, hired and sent
through a 16-week training program. That possibly would have as much impact
as any one thing that could be done.

MOTION: On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Bay, the

problems in the Riverdale School area was ordered received and filed MOTION

106: ANAHEIM ARTS COUNCIL - REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENDITURES: On motion by
Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Bay, monies totalling $455.53 from
the Anaheim Arts Council to reimburse expenditures made for the printing of
their October, November and December Anaheim Arts Calendar, were accepted, to
be appropriated to Account No. 279-6901-90019, as recormnended in memorandum dated
December 12, 1979 from Deputy City Manager James Ruth. MOTION CARRIED.
180: CITY PROPERTY INSURANCE - BROKER PROPOSAL: Councilman Bay moved to accept
the offer of property insurance from Mission and Kemper Insurance Companies, as
contained in the proposal of December 7, 1979, from the City's Broker, Marsh &
McLennan, as recommended in memorandum dated December 12, 1979 from Risk Manager
Jack Love. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Roth commended staff and the insurance carrier for what he considered
another great savings under the City's new insurance program.
Mayor Seymour asked if the deductibles and the coverage included in the policy
were equal to or greater than the benefits received under the old policy.
Mr. Jack Love, Risk Manager, stated that they exceeded the existing coverage and
the deductibles were the same.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked to have a running account as to how much money the City
saved since they had switched to the new program.
Mr. Love stated that figure was between $400,000 and $500,000.
123/158: PROPERTY EXCHANGE RELATING TO BETTERMENT II PROGRAM: Councilman Bay
offered Resolution No. 79R-741 for adoption, as recommended in memorandum dated

OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to contact the League of
Cities, both the Orange County Division and the State, asking them to join with
Anaheim on the ordinance prohibiting the sale of drug paraphernalia. Council-
man Bay seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she recommended such a motion because many cities
were facing the same problem as Anaheim and some had litigation pending presently
relative to the sale of such paraphernalia.
123: MICROFILMING SERVICES: Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 79R-742
for adoption, as recommended in memorandum dated December 4, 1979 from City Clerk

153: REQUEST TO DESIGNATE MONDAy, DECEMBER 24, 1979 A HOLIDAY FOR CITY EMPLOYEES:
Mr. Rocky Porter, representative of Local 47, IBEW, 1240 Pelicier Road, Whittier
requested that the Council designate Monday, December 24, 1979 as a holiday for
Anaheim City employees. They believed doing so would be an appropriate and
goodwill gesture on the part of the Council. An action of that nature was not
without precedence. Many cities in the State granted both Christmas Eve and
New Year's Eve as days off for their employees. The City of Riverside as of
this moment was voting on such a request, and he had reason to believe it would
be granted.
Mr. Porter stated he knew they would be looking at cost figures and in so doing
that they should consider productivity. They did not believe that Christmas or
New Year's Eve were very productive days for the City. If it was the concern
of the Council as to whether or not at least the employees of the Utilities
Department would be available to respond to emergencies, he gave his personal
assurance that employees would be available. If the Utilities Department could
not get anybody to respond, he would dispatch construction linemen.
In concluding, Mr. Porter noted that President Carter had designated Monday,
December 24, 1979 as a day off for all Federal employees.
City Manager Talley stated that Mr. Porter was correct in the fact that many
governmental agencies had been requested to allow those holidays; however,
several things should be recognized. The condition was one that occurred
approximately everysix years and, therefore, it was not something where
79-1441
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
a precedent was set. It would be unrealistic for employees' associations to con-
sider that the Council had established a policy. In his opinion, if this were
an appropriate item for discussion, it should be handled in bargaining agreements
because they could expect the same situation in 1984 and in 1990. In recognition
of the problem, on November 2, 1979, he sent to all Department and Division heads
a note regarding Christmas and New Year's Eve, stating that while not City holidays,
it was recognized that there would be substantial interest in time off on those
two days and he, therefore, encouraged the Department and Division Heads to
permit the greatest possible number of employees to take those days off while
maintaining minimum service levels. While City offices should remain open, he
had no objection to the maximum number of employees availing themselves of the
privilege of taking a day of vacation or compensatory time off if they deserved
it.
The City Manager continued that if the Council were to approve a holiday, two
things would occur. They estimated approximately $26,000 in holiday premium
costs would be incurred, chiefly in the Utilities and Safety services area.
Approximately 2,800 hours of paid overtime would be sustained. More importantly,
in his opinion, the average payroll for the City on any given day was somewhere
around $130,000. Assuming $26,000 was paid in overtime, there would be approx-
imately $107,000 to $110,000 worth of salaries paid that day, assuming that $50,
$60 or $70,000 worth of those hours would be taken in vacation. If they declared
a holiday, those hours would not be used, and they would still be on the books.
Instead, the vast majority of employees who wished to take that day off, if they
had vacation or compensatory time, would be allowed to do so. If the Council
approved the holiday, all City employees would be granted that day off and
they would instead incur a $26,000 expenditure. Council had the privilege of
declaring December 24 a holiday, but they would also be faced with the same
situation in 1984 and 1990. Also, the day after Christmas and New Year's
could be a Friday and that was going to occur in 1980 and 1986 and, therefore,
they could be in a posture of seeing such a situation occur every third year.
To him, it was much more appropriate to be a bargained day off, as opposed to
requesting the Council to allow such holidays periodically.
Councilman Roth asked what the County Board of Supervisors did in the situation.
Mr. Talley answered that the County considered it and also stated they would
allow employees to take time off, but they would have to use vacation or compensa-
tory time. In essence, they did not approve it.
Mayor Seymour stated the easiest thing for any elected body of officials to do
was provide an opportunity in recognition of the holiday spirit to allow
employees to have that time off. He was empathetic to that, but on the other
hand, in these days of fiscal frugality that the taxpayers look to elected
officials to carry out, he could not find it within himself to support the
request. He was sensitive that President Carter had requested that government
agencies at all levels look at the matter, but with the price tag involved he
felt it was beyond their reach. '
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to deny the request of designating Monday,
December 24, 1979, as a holiday for City employees. Councilman Overholt seconded
the motion.
79-1442
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Overholt stated that he had spoken with Mr.
Porter. He (Overholt) felt that the cost factor was the main consideration and
for the Council to incur an expense in excess of $100,000 for that day was
beyond all sensibility. Those who wanted to take the day off were going to have
the opportunity to do so.
Mr. Porter asked the Council to consider that although employees were going to
be present on Monday if it was not designated a holiday, he questioned how much
productive work would be accomplished. Very little would get done, and they were
going to spend the money in any case.
Mr. Talley stated without attempting to argue, he was certain the Council would
agree if they declared a holiday, there would be zero productivity for the same
amount of money.
Councilman Bay stated there had been some experience with the problem in the
public sector. He recalled when it came up and large corporations were approached
with the same request, a few listened to their hearts as the Council would like
to do today. Within a year or two later, it was not only written into the
bargaining contracts, but also in some corporations the concept expanded to a
week and some eight days. What he suggested, rather than putting a hard decision
to the Council, Mr. Porter should be entering such things into the bargaining
sessions so that they would not put the Council in a position of, in effect,
giving away $100,000 of taxpayers funds.
Mr. Porter stated it was an extraordinary request and he and the employees rec-
ognized it as such. However, he considered it an appropriate good will gesture.
A vote was taken on the foregoing motion to deny the request. MOTION CARRIED.
181: ANAHEIM COMMUNITY ENTERTAINERS (ACE): John Yench, President, requesting
the use of the former Anaheim Bulletin Building located at 224 and 232 South
Lemon Street. (continued from October 30, 1979, November 20 1979 and December 4,
1979). '
Councilman Roth stated it was his opinion that at the last meeting, December 4,
1979 when the matter was discussed (see minutes that date), the 224 South Lemon
address w~s going to be completely eliminated from any consideration because of
the roof structure, and they were only discussing the 232 South Lemon address.
Deputy City Manager James Ruth stated that the investigation was only on the 232
location.
Councilwoman Kaywood, referring to report dated December 11, 1979 from the Deputy
City Manager (on file in the City Clerk's office) stated that she had a problem
in considering a $30,000 cost to make the facility suitable for a year's time
for storage and theatrical construction and $2,737 for a facility attendant for
something that would be a temporary use. She could not approve it, and consi-
dering fiscal constraints with which they were faced, it would be showing favoritism
Mr. John Roche, Facility Maintenance Superintendent, then explained for Council-
man Roth what needed to be accomplished for the $30,000 cost. He and Mr. Norm
Priest, Executive Director of Community Development, then clarified further
questions posed by Councilman Roth.
79-1443
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. John Yench then stated as he understood from the last meeting when the con-
versation went back and forth between the 224 and 232 address, he got the im-
pression from the Fire Department that if it was for the purpose of storage,
the 224 address would be okey. Everything else seemed to come into play when
they discussed other activities. He reiterated it was his impression that the
Fire Department relented and stated it was okey to use 224, as is, for storage
and set purposes, the use they intended.
Garth Menges, Deputy Fire Marshal, stated that if the roof structure at 224 was
declared safe by a structural engineer, it could be used for static storage.
Under the present conditions, however, they recommended not using that building,
as did the Building Department.
Councilman Bay then explained that he went through both buildings last week, and
he concluded that according to what they had heard from the Fire Department,
there was no question that 224 was out of the picture and the only one they were
talking about was the 232 address. He then described the condition of that
structure relative to light fixtures available, doors that needed to be in-
stalled to secure various storage areas if four or five different groups were
utilizing the building, plumbing fixtures, doors that would need to swing to
the outside, and general cleanup necessary. He then offered his suggestions
as to how to correct those things that needed to be done which was mainly with
volunteer work in those areas such as electrical, plumbing and cleanup. One
major item however was that there were leaks in the roof and patching those
could be expensive.
Mayor Seymour stated, in his opinion, the whole situation had been blown out
of proportion unless there was an attitude that they just did not want the type
of activity offered by ACE. He questioned if staff made any attempt to take
Mr. Yench to the Anaheim Bulletin building and indicate, in order to protect
the health, safety and welfare of his people, what he must do, this or that
specific thing, in turn, soliciting a response as to whether his group was will-
ing to do that; there was an indication from staff that no attempt was made to
do so.
Councilman Roth asked if there was any other vacant building that had not had
the fixtures removed or that had been vandalized that could be used as an
alternative.
Mr. Priest stated to simplify the process, they could easily check to see if
there were alternative buildings. As a Council, for public purposes, they could
go to those groups, but as an Agency, they could not do so. In other words, the
City would be operating the facility.
Mayor Seymour felt that it could be done at a very minimum expense if staff
would devote itself towards that objective. He was asking staff to do what
they could to find a way, the objective being to provide a simple place to
store, paint and build sets. He wanted to hear what that way was in one week.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that they had in depth and long reports, and it was
not a simple matter. If the building was not safe, the City would be in a
position of liability. They could not risk anything like that.
79-1444
City Hall~ Ana~eim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to direct staff to work with Mr. Yench and
submit a minimum cost figure to rehabiltiate the facility at 232 South Lemon
for set manufacture and storage, using volunteer help from Mr. Yench's group
and whatever other group which might be interested, with alternate buildings
to be considered. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
108: AMERICAN GAMES EXCHANGE - REQUEST FOR WAIVER: Victor S. Eriksen, Attorney,
requesting a waiver of Section 3.24.010 of the Anaheim Municipal Code in connection
with the proposed development of a game center to be located at 2522 West
Lincoln Avenue, which Code section requires such establishments not be located
within 600 feet of a school property line.
Mr. Dick McDonald, 1450 Gaywood, Brea, real estate salesman representing American
Games Exchange stated that the location was slightly less than 600 feet away
from a school as required by the Anaheim Municipal Code. He referred to the
City Attorney's memorandum of December 13, 1979, pointing out that the Council
could not legally grant such a waiver until the pertinent Section of the Code
was amended. They were requesting the Council to amend that Section which would
empower them to subsequently waive the distance if they should so desire.
Councilman Roth stated his first impulse was that he was not interested in
changing the ordinance; however, the operator of the business was a handicapped
person who made the statement to him that as a handicapped person, he was trying
to be of value to the community and he (1) wanted to be a useful citizen, (2) he
liked to work with kids and, (3) he would regulate his hours so that they would
not be in conflict with the school (Savanna).
Councilman Roth continued that he hoped there was some way the request could be
presented, and he understood that they would have to modify the ordinance.
Councilman Overholt asked Mr. McDonald if he had discussed the matter with the
administration at Savanna High School; Mr. McDonald answered that he had not
done so. He explained that they did not open the supercades until the majority
of the children left the schools, so that it would not lend to truancy.
Councilman Overholt stated his concern was that the Council had just passed a
similar ordinance designed to protect certain areas around school and other
areas. They were not enacted easily, but after a great deal of struggling and
a long thought process. With due respect to Mr. McDonald's client, it seemed
if they were going to amend the ordinance to give the Council the power to
waive distance restrictions, he personally would like to have some dialogue
with the school people to see how they felt about it.
Mr. McDonald stated he would be glad to approach the school--they just had not
thought about doing so.
Mayor Seymour suggested that they might continue the matter so that Mr. McDonald
would have an opportunity to discuss the request with the School District; Council-
man Overholt stated if the school went along with the request, he would have no
objection.

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth moved to continue consideration of the subject request for one
week to give Mr. McDonald an opportunity to discuss with and obtain concurrence
from the School District that they had no objection to the requested waiver.
Councilman Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Later in the meeting, Councilman Roth suggested that the Council consider sending
a letter to the Savanna High School Principal regarding the matter as he felt
an official communication from the City would be a good idea.
173: REQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF BUS BENCHES FROM BUS SHELTER LOCATIONS: Mr. Bruce
G. Williams, President, Convenience and Safety Corporation, requesting removal
of certain bus benches, pursuant to Chapter 4.05 of the Anaheim Municipal Code;
approving the installation of an additional 24 shelter units; that shelter
units be charged for electrical service on a "flat rate" basis.
Mayor Seymour first asked if anyone wished to speak to the subject.
Mr. Kenneth Kosoff, Licensing Director, Coast United Advertising, dba Bench
Ads Company, 4943 East Slauson, Maywood, read from a prepared statement, the
highlights of which were as follows: for many years, Bench Ads had provided
Anaheim with numerous bus benches on the public right-of-way. Presently, they
had approximately 600 benches within the City, owned and maintained by their
company. Many of the benches were blank carrying no advertisements, and they
also maintained many public service messages on their benches. ~heir concern,
as far as removal of bus benches at the sites where bus shelters were proposed,
was that in order to maintain their blank benches and community service benches
they relied on the advertising on those benches that did carry advertising. It
would be difficult in dealing with clients to explain to them why they were
forced to remove the benches prior to the expiration of their contract. Should
the City Council decide that they should remove the benches at any and every
location at which shelters were to be placed, they would gladly do so. They
wanted the Council to consider, however, that their advertisers were local
merchants such as real estate agents, beauty shops, restaurants, etc., as well
as many others who conducted business in Anaheim exclusively. They did not
advertise tobacco or alcohol, and they could not compete for the spaces on the
bus shelters because the cost of those ads was so prohibitive. Generally their
benches cost approximately $16 per month per bench, whereas to advertise on one
side of the bus shelter was at least 10 times that amount.
Mr. Kosoff asked if the Council should decide to have the benches removed, that
they allow Bench Ads to remove them at the time their advertising contracts
expired. He also asked consideration in those areas where bus stops were heavily
used. The Convenience and Safety shelter contained one bench approximately
six feet seven inches, whereas their benches were seven feet long and could
accommodate more people sitting down, especially if two benches were available.
Traffic Engineer Paul Singer stated that they had not made any recommendation,
but were saying that if the benches were to be removed, that they be removed on
April 1 which was the anniversary date for all renewals of licenses on the
benches.
Mr. Kosoff then explained for Councilman Roth that some of the contracts for
advertising did run beyond the April 1 relicensing renewal date. Many of the
benches had been locations in the City for many years, and they assumed that
they would remain at those locations.
79-1446
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth asked Mr. Williams if approval was given on an additional amount
of shelters, what the time span for completion would be.
Mr. Bruce Williams, President, Convenience and Safety, stated with the approval
of the Council on the second 25 shelters, they would proceed with the manufac-
ture now so that on the day the City wanted them installed, it would take approx-
imately 30 days from that time.
Mr. Kosoff asked if the bus shelter program was in the experimental stages or if
the program had been approved on a permanent basis.
Mr. Singer stated that the City had entered into a franchise agreement with
Convenience and Safety to build shelters for the City in increments of 25 units.
Mayor Seymour asked Mr. Kosoff what benefit would accrue to his company or their
advertisers in the event the City were to postpone the April 1 renewal date.
Mr. Kosoff answered that they would not be legally liable as a result of the
inability to execute that contract in toto.
Mayor Seymour asked for clarification that Mr. Kosoff was saying that they
extended contracts beyond what they legally could do; Mr. Kosoff stated that
was correct based upon the fact that many benches were in certain locations for
many years.
Councilman Overholt first stated that Mr. Kosoff should make himself intimately
familiar with the bus shelter plan for the City. He then asked if a particular
bus shelter location necessarily precluded the location of a bus bench in the
vicinity. He was wondering if there were circumstances where the bus shelter
company would not require the removal of a bus bench in the area.
Mr. Williams stated that was an aesthetic rather than a practical situation. If
a single bench was not adequate, they would frequently add another bench to the
unit outside the shelter itself.
City Engineer William Devitt stated that in some instances, the additional street
furniture was offensive to the private property owner.
Mayor Seymour then stated he did not have a great deal of empathy for a business-
man who committed himself beyond the period of time in which he had legal authority
to do so although he could appreciate that Bench Ads assumed the situation would
go on forever. Also, if their company had such an investment in the City (1)
they should be aware of the dramatic changes taking place in their own industry
and, (2) with that much business in Anaheim, someone was not paying too much
attention if that was the first they heard of the newly initiated bus shelter
program. It had been announced in the media for quite some time. He felt
they were best served by being straightforward and Bench Ads should be straight-
forward with their advertising clientele and tell them what happened.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour~moved to approve removal of certain bus benches,
pursuant to Chapter 4.05 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, as recommended in memor-
andum dated December 13, 1979 from the City Engineer. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded the motion.
79-1447
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay stated out of the 600 Bench Ad benches,
there was no way for them to Judge what the impact may or may not be to their
operation. He had been hearing about bus shelters for Anaheim for two years or
more, and he could not understand how Bench Ads was not aware of the program. If
they could move their benches around spots that were not going to have bus shelters
their problem may be minimal. Thus, he was going to support the motion.
A vote was taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Relative to the Convenience and Safety request for approval of an additional
25 shelter units, Mr. Kosoff stated as a practical matter, they were going to
be opposed to the placement of any of the 200 shelters proposed, except they
could understand trial programs. There was no doubt that every city that had
an experimental program did decide to expand that and based upon discussions
with City officials in other cities, the other three companies competing with
Convenience and Safety did not have the slightest chance because C&S was the
best company. Mr. Kosoff then broached the design aspect of the C&S shelter
and offered his suggestions relative to possible design alternatives. As a
recommendation for the future, if protecting people from the elements was
their concern, the Traffic Engineer should consider having the shelters extended
on both sides so that people would be protected.
Mr. Singer stated that the design had been chosen from an array of various
available shelters and final shelter development from the Planning Department.
It met all the design criteria the Council wished to be incorporated, and it
provided adequate protection from the elements.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, installation
of an additional 25 shelter units by Convenience and Safety was approved, as
recommended in memorandum dated December 11, 1979 from the City Engineer. MOTION
CARRIED.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved that the shelter units be charged for electrical
service on a "flat rate" basis. Councilman Roth seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated that after reading the
report from the Public Utilities General Manager of December 13, 1979, she had
changed her mind relative to charging on a "flat rate" basis. She then asked
staff if they took the longest day of the year with the highest possible wattage
(December 21) if that amount was then doubled, would that satisfy the utilities
problem.
Mr. Ed Alario, Assistant General Manager of Public Utilities, stated he did not
think it was basically the question that some of the energy might not get paid
for, but that they would not be able to record the usage, and there could be
other things as well. One of the main problems was that the "flat rate" billing
would be setting a precedent which would undoubtedly be followed by other such
requests and subsequently they would not be able to measure a large part of
their usage accurately. That was one of the biggest concerns and the person to
be asking would be the City Engineer relative to a "flat rate" charge on traffic
signals.
Councilman Roth did not agree with the idea of precedent se~ing. He was trying
to conserve all the materials, manpower and postage that would be involved in
sending out 200 separate bills.
79-1448
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18, 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Alario then clarified that they would not lose money in the suggested method
of billing; Mayor Seymour asked if they might even make a couple of dollars. Mr.
Alario answered they would do all they could to build everything into that
method of charging.
City Manager Talley stated illegal attachments were of concern to the Utilities.
They would be allowing "flat rate" billing adjacent to energy consuming activi-
ties and if anybody hooked into those, the Utilities had no way of knowing about
illegal connections. Almost every bus shelter was sitting next to a gas station.
The Mayor suggested that they send a meter reader out only half as often as they
would if a meter were installed, so that the reader could check to see that nobody
was illegally plugging in.
Mr. Talley stated that the Public Utilities General Manager was adamant in his
wishes that "flat rate" precedents not be established, first of all because of
illegal attachments. They were continually being berated by State and Federal
agencies to make certain that all of the connected load was measured. He did
not think the 25 units were going to be any problem, but 200 or 500 might be
a more significant problem. Billing presented no problem. If Mr. Williams
was going to insist on the "flat rate", they would go along with that request
if the Council wished. He felt personally that Mr. Williams was asking for
something requiring a little more effort and minor expense going in. However,
the cost was all on the City and the Utilities Department wanted that cost to
protect its operation. They were not asking him to do more than install a minor
capital expenditure to start with.
Mmyor Seymour stated he did not think it was a question of what Mr. Williams
wanted, but a question of the principle of waste by putting the meters in, reading
them, and sending out 200 bills. He considered it to be bureaucratic overkill,
and they were going to make more money under the "flat rate" system than they
would with individual meters.
Councilman Bay noted that staff communications on the matter implied that there
would need to be a revamping of the whole billing system if the "flat rate"
procedure was allowed on bus shelters.
City Manager Talley stated they were making an exception in this case, and he
was positive they were not going to redo the billing system for Convenience
and Safety. That did not, however, remove the argument that they could not "flat
rate" almost anything.
Councilman Bay then commented that it would be difficult to intercept utility
services because usually they were buried under a hard surface approximately
three feet in the ground with steel conduits in an entirely sealed system.
A vote was taken on the foregoing motion. Councilwoman Kaywood voted "no".
MOTION CARRIED.
RECESS: By general consent the Council recessed for 10 mintues. (3:35 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Seymour called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (3:45 P.M.)

City Hall.~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
130: PUBLIC HEARING - CATV FRANCHISE: To consider the adoption of an Ordinance
granting the nonexclusive right, privilege and Franchise to Storer Cable TV to
lay and use lines, wires, coaxial coable and appurtenances for transmi~tin~ re-
ceiving, distributing and supplying radio, television and other cable communi-
cation services to the City of Anaheim.
Mr. James Armstrong, Assistant to the City Manager, briefed the Council on his
extensive report dated November 13, 1979 (on file in the City Clerk's office)
relative to the subject.
Councilman Roth asked the timefr~L~e for installation and completion of the CATV
system; Mr. Armstrong answered that the entire City would be served in 36 months.
Councilman Roth noted that, "...Storer has agreed to maintain all basic service
rates and charges at the same level stated in their proposal for three (3) years
from the effective date of the ordinance, or until the entire system construction
is completed, whichever period is longer." He stated it was possible the system
would not be completed within the three-year period, and he expressed his concern
that there was not much protection for those residents who would not be online
until the end of the installation period. He was supportive of the franchise,
but had fears relative to some correspondence that had crossed his desk where
problems had occurred in other cities regarding an increase in fees.
Mayor Seymour then noted that the President of California State University at
Fullerton, was present.
President Don Shields, Cal State University at Fullerton, stated that he was
pleased to be present and indicated their strong support for the very unique
joint venture between a private firm, public agency and educational institu-
tion providing both a public access channel for the citizens of Anaheim in the
interconnect system, as well as a college/university access channel, not only
for Cal State, but also other universities and colleges in the area. It was
becoming more and more difficult for any one entity in today's world with today's
budgets to do such things independently. They had some very productive dis-
cussions with Storer, and they felt very strongly that there were minimum
problems to be worked out. They were most appreciative of the atmosphere of
cooperation they had experienced with Storer, as well as members of the City
staff. They were also very excited about joining the City in this unique
joint venture.
Councilman Roth thanked President Shields for the use of Dr. Ron Dyas assisting
the City with the CATV Franchise; President Shields stated they were delighted
with Dr. Dyas' commitment to public service, and he was also a very fine faculty
member at Cal State Fullerton.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak to the CATV Franchise.
Dr. Ron Dyas stated in answer to Councilman Roth's question about the rate increase,
in the Ordinance, Section 31, addressed the rate increase, and there was a formula
that had been devised whereby the franchisee must request an increase from the
Council, which he explained.
79-1450
.CitM Hall,. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 182 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Dr. Dyas then relayed the historical background to the proposed CATV Franchise
Ordinance, It was apparent that the proposed ordinance represented the best of
what was available and Anaheim would be the leader and model for the Nation.
He then explained what could be expected of the system and its many advantages.
In concluding, he advised that they had brought forth one of the best, most
complete and well thought out ordinances in the country.
Dr. Dyas then acknowledged the considerable contributions to the whole program
made by Jim Armstrong, without whose efforts the ordinance might still be
lingering in the shadows, The City should acknowledge Mr. Armstrong's
contribution. He also thanked the Council for the faith they expressed in him.
The Council thanked Dr. Dyas for his invaluable assistance and expressed their
awareness of Mr. Armstrong's contributions of which they were very proud.
Councilwoman Kmywood applauded Dr. Dyas' patience for not selecting the first
thing that came along, especially since he was a resident of the canyon area
where TV reception was poor. She then asked for a point of clarification
relative to Section 4 of the documentation presented--Access Channels, Facilities
and Administration. She wanted to know if anyone screened a message prior to
its transmittal on the access channel.
Dr. Dyas explained that according to FCC regulations, they could not prevent
anyone from having access to that channel. It was the responsibility of the
cable system to screen all messages, but according to law, they could not
censor those messages.
The Mayor again asked if anyone else wished to speak to the matter.
Mr. Frederick E. Nollenberger, ATC-American Television and Communications Corpor-
ation, Administative Assistant to the Western Regional member of ATC, 1703
Summertime Drive, E1 CaJon, stated he was certain the Council was aware of their
position concerning the Franchise proposal they submitted. They believed that
their billing rate schedule was superior. They also had public access, inter-
action and interconnect and affiliation with colleges and universities for
many years. He was convinced the ATC proposal for a CATV system in Anaheim to
be the best, and they were capable of providing the best system because they
had the experience, knowledge and financial capability necessary. Should the
Council feel there was any reason to change their mind, or to vote otherwise,
they were ready to build the CATV system they proposed earlier.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
ORDINANCE NO. 4087: Councilwoman Kaywood offered Ordinance No. 4087 for first
reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 4087: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM GRANTING THE NONEXCLUSIVE
RIGHT, PRIVILEGE AND FRANCHISE TO LAY AND USE LINES, WIRES, COAXIAL CABLE AND
APPURTENANCES FOR TRANSMITTING, RECEIVING, DISTRIBUTING AND SUPPLYING RADIO,
TELEVISION AND OTHER CABLE COMMUNICATION SERVICES ALONG, ACROSS AND UPON THE
PUBLIC STREETS, WAYS, ALLEYS, AND PLACES WITHIN SAID CITY OF ANAHEIM.

C~ity Ha.!l~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth stated even though they received fine coverage from the press,
it might be in order to submit a news release to the News Times in the Canyon
so that the citizens, especially in that area, would be advised of the great
progress that had been made towards bringing Cable TV to fruition.
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 79-80-I1~ CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 2023 AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION: Application by Anaheim Memorial Hospital
Association, for a change in zone from RS-7200 to CO, to expand an existing
hospital parking lot on property located on the north and west side of Hermosa
Drive, north of La Palma Avenue, Portion A; and on property located at the
northeast corner of La Palma Avenue and Hermosa Drive, Portion B.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC79-190, declared the
subject property exempt from the requirement to prepare an environmental impact
report pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act,
and further denied Reclassification No. 79-80-11.
Mayor Seymour stated the Council was totally informed about the project and
they were mainly interested in the progress the hospital had been able to make
specifically with the Assistance League and any other property owners that were
affected.
Mr. Dan L. Rowland, Dan L. Rowland & Associates, 1000 West La Palma, stated that
four 'properties were involved as follows:
1101 Hermosa, the Assistance League of Anaheim--they had agreed to sell and escrow
opened today, December 18, 1979.
1107 Hermosa, Mr. Neilander--they had a letter indicating he was not interested in
selling. He (Rowland) had worked out an agreement between Mr. Neilander and the
Hospital for a circular driveway which the Hospital would install at the Hospital's
expense.
1149 La Palma, Miss Henderson--she was contacted and the project was discussed
with her by the Hospital legal counsel. She indicated to him she was not inter-
ested at this time. She was to send a letter to that effect, but had not done
so as of this date.
1125 La Palma, Mrs. Beese--had sent a letter indicating she was not interested in
moving.
Mr. Rowland stated that everyone on the list had been contacted and the matter
resolved to the extent articulated.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked on the last two residents if they had any agreement
with the Hospital to make their homes more livable.
Mr. Rowland stated they had done some physical things with setbacks landscaping
and block walls. '
Councilman Roth Stated he thought the Assistance League was the serious problem
from the testimony received at the November 20, 1979 meeting (see minutes that
date) and now that that had been resolved, it alleviated the foremost concern of
the Council.
79-1452
City Ha.ll.., Anaheim,. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 18~ 1979~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Bay noted that two residents on La Palma were present at the last
hearing and offered no opposition. The question was relative to the Assistance
League and Mr. Nielander's property and apparently both problems had now been
resolved.
There being no further persons who wished to speak either in favor or in opposition,
the Mayor closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Roth, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council finds that this project
would have no significant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impact
since the Anaheim General Plan designates the subject property for commercial
professional and medium and low density residential land uses commensurate with
the proposal; that no sensitive environmental impacts are involved in the
proposal; that the Initial Study submitted by the petitioner indicates no sig-
nificant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impacts and is, there-
fore, exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR. MOTION CARRIED.

Councilman Bay stated that the Council did not indicate they were going to do
anything on January 15 relative to campaign limitations.
