123/131: COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH CALTRANS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND SUBSEQUENT
RELINQUISHMENT OF STATE ROUTE 72 .(ANAHEIM BOULEVARD): Report from the City
Engineer recommending approval of the proposed District Agreement No. 3432 for
reconstruction by the City and relinquishment by the State of Route 72, Anaheim
Boulevard from Route 91 Freeway to Cerritos Avenue, including that portion of
Harbor Boulevard between Anaheim Boulevard and the Route 91 Freeway, was submitted.
The Mayor recognized Mrs. Diann Marsh, 321 North Philadelphia Street, Anaheim,
who read a prepared statement setting forth the following reasons for opposition
to this proposal: 1) that it would deprive Anaheim of revenue due to withdrawal
of State maintenance funds; 2) that it would create a discontinuous highway;
3) that it would cause substantial impact on the surrounding area; 4) that further
research regarding the effects of traffic, noise, air pollution, cultural resources
is necessary; 5) because of concern that this is being done for the purpose of
circumnavigating the State's A-95 review. Mrs. Marsh requested that the City Council
include in their resolution a pledge to submit any changes in Anaheim Boulevard to
the standard A-95 review and to withhold any demolition until this process is
completed.
Mr. Maddox responded to these comments that the proposal is primarily a relinquish-
ment, and there is no change proposed to the physical character of the street at this
time. This agreement w~l provide that the City put the street in a state of good
repair, rather than the State, and the City will receive the sum of $380,000 to
accomplish same. This amount, in his opinion, is more than sufficient to complete
the necessary work.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 78R-283 for adoption. Refer to Resolution
Book.

106: SCHEDULE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR 1978-79 CITY AND FEDERAL GENERAL REVEN"~.
SHARING BUDGETS: On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman
Overholt, the City Council adopted the schedule for public hearings on the
proposed Federal General Revenue Sharing and 1978-79 City Budgets to be held
June 13 and June ZO, 1978, respectively. MOTION CARRIED.
105: APPOINTMENT TO HOUSING COMMISSION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD: Notice
was given to Council Members of one vacancy on the Housing Commission (Tenant
Commissioner), term ending June 30, 1981, and one vacancy on the Community Services
Board, term ending June 30, 1980.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that she felt it would be advisable for the entire
City Council to meet with the potential appointees before making a decision, and
thereupon moved that both of these matters be continued to the May 16, 1978
meeting to allow time for such meeting. Councilman Overholt seconded the motion.
Mayor Seymour voiced concern that the City Council not require citizens desiring
appointment to a board or commission to "parade" themselves before the City Council
at a Tuesday meeting.
In response to Councilman Kott's inquiry as to the reason for the continuance, inas-
much as he was prepared to nominate Mrs. Patricia Bayley for the Housing Commission
vacancy this date, Councilwoman Kaywood indicated that she wished to have some
additional time in which to contact the potential appointees and meet with them
on an informal basis.
Councilman Roth explained that he would also vote favorably for appointment of
Mrs. Bayley this date and would second the nomination. He noted that if Council-
woman Kaywood is seeking a full Council decision, he would not be available for
the May 16, 1978 meeting.
Vote was taken on the foregoing motion to continue. Councilman Kott voted "No".
MOTION CARRIED.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1978, 1:30 P,M~
Councilman Roth was requested by Mayor Seymour to submit his preference for the
Charter Revision appointments, in writing, so that the Council might be aware of his
preference next week when these appointments are considered.
175/153: REPORT ON TRAINING OF CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES: Report on
employee training in Customer Service was requested by Council at the April 25,
1978 Council meeting when a resolution to provide premium pay for employees
temporarily upgraded to the position of New Business Representative was submitted.
Mayor Seymour noted that he has reviewed the report submitted which does describe
in some detail the current training policies of the Customer Service Division;
however, his concern when this report was originally requested was the number of
complaints he had received regarding an improper attitude on the part of some
on-line people dealing with the public. While the report submitted does describe
the current training program, Mayor Seymour stated he is still not satisfied that
conditions are going to change because these t~aining procedures have been reduced
to paper. He noted that he is still seeking a response as to how conditions will
improve so that the customers of the Anaheim Utility are treated as well as they
might be by a private utility company.
Mr. Ed Alario advised that in the past eight months he was aware of only three
complaints relating to a discourteous attitude. He assured Council that it is
not the policy of the Utilities Department to treat customers in this manner,
and this behavior will certainly not be tolerated. He requested that if any more
cases are brought to Council's attention, that he be made aware of them so that he
might take the appropriate action. He reminded Council that this situation often
arises with people who are in a delinquent status with their bill and, consequently,
the utilities have been turned off and they are, therefore, more likely to be very
emotional.
Mr. Alario explained that'they intend to request an appropriation in the coming
year's budget for installation of a 10-channel tape to be utilized to record the
telephone conversations which would remind the employees the conversations are
being taped, and also enable the department to verify complaints. In addition,
he explained that they intend to conduct intensive quarterly training programs,
not only for Customer Service representatives, but also for people in the field
who deal directly with customers.
Mayor Seymour stated that if the Utility Department is coming forth with some
kind of improved public relations training program, as mentioned by Mr. Alario,
that would satisfy his concerns that steps are being taken in the right direction.
Councilman Kott suggested that in lieu of installation of tape recording devices,
which he personally considered to be a waste of money, instead, the Customer Service
representatives be required to give their names when answering calls.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the
report submitted on training for Customer Service representatives was ordered
received and filed. MOTION CARRIED.
153: PREMIUM PAY FOR TEMPORARY UPGRADE - NEW BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE.: Report
from the Personnel Director (continued from the meeting of April 25, 1978)
78-550
~it¥ Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1978, 1:30 P.M,
recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution which would add an upgrade
pay provision to the class of New Business Representative, was submitted. It was
explained that this position must be filled at all times, and in those instances
where the regular supervisor is gone, this resolution would permit another
employee ten~orarily assuming these supervisorial duties to be compensated for
same.
Councilman Kott indicated that he could not vote favorably on this recommendation
in view of the "tight belt" budget. Mayor Seymour indicated he would not vote
favorably either, as he felt the Council should first see the level of service
delivered for which they are being asked to pay.
It was noted in answer to Councilman Roth, that the annual cost of the upgrade
pay provision is estimated at $174.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that she has not received any complaints of the nature
discussed under the previous item in the four years she has been on the Council and
thereupon offered Resolution Noo 78R-285 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Bobk.

139: SUPPORT FOR PROPOSITION 2 CLEAN WATER: (Continued from the Council
meeting of May 2, 1978, for report from Councilman Roth regarding the position
taken by the County Sanitation District on Proposition 2 scheduled on the June 6,1978
ballot.) The City Clerk reported that Councilman Roth advises the Sanitation
Districts have not taken any position on this issue.
In response to Councilman Kott's inquiry as to how this proposed legislation would
benefit the citizens of Anaheim, Councilwoman Kaywood explained that there is a
federal Clean Water Program whereby it is mandated that by 1982 every river,
stream, ocean or other waterway shall be swimmable and fishable. The sewage
treatment and water reclamation projects to effectuate this clean water program
are extremely expensive. The federal government will fund up to 75% of the cost,
but the 25% in the State of California will fall either entirely to local govern-
ments or, by passage of Proposition 2, be split in half with the State of
California paying 12~%. Councilwoman Kaywood, thereupon, moved that the Anaheim
City Council go on record as being in support of Proposition 2. Councilman
Overbolt seconded the motion.

180: AUDIT REPORT - WORKERS COM]PENSATION CLAIM PROGRAM SUBMITTED BY MIKEN
ASSOCIATES, INC,: Report dated January 31, 1978 prepared by Miken Associates, Inc.
was previously submitted to the Council and continued to this date from the
meetings of April 25 and May 2, 1978.
MOTION: Motion to receive and file the report was made by Councilman Roth, seconded
by Councilwoman Kaywood.
Under discussion, Councilman Kott pointed out to Council Members that in his
review of the report submitted, the following points were of concern to him:
1) Miken Associates, Inc. was hired to perform an objective audit of the City's
Workers Compensation Claims program; however, they also performed an audit of the
City's third party claims actions, apparently at no charge to the City, but also
without authorization; 2) when he attempted to contact the individual whose name
appears on the report, Mr. Ken Savage, he was informed that he had left Miken
Associates, Inc. and now works for the firm of Warren, McVeigh and Griffin, who
have also performed in some capacity as consultants for the City; 3) the fact that
Miken Associates, Inc., as a Delaware Corporation, should have registered with
the Secretary of State's Office as a foreign corporation, but has apparently
failed to do so.
In response to concerns voiced by both Council Members Kott and Seymour regarding
a possible conflict of interest situation in that Mr. Ken Savage previously
worked with Miken Associates and is now a partner with Warren~ McVeigh and Griffin,
Mr. Savage explained that Warren, McVeigh and Griffin are Risk'Management Consultants,
and that previous to his merger with them did not have the expertise to investigate
claims procedures. Therefore, on a number of occasions they did refer their
clients to Miken and Associates for this type of consultation. It seemed a logical
progression for Warren, McVeigh and Griffin to attempt to cover that gap in ~heir
areas of expertise.
In answer to Councilman Kott's comment regarding the fact that Miken and Associates,
Inc. is not registered in the State of California, Mr. Hopkins stated that there
is a requirement that they register with the Secretary of State's Office and receive
a certificate as a foreign corporation. There is also a penalty provided in the
Corporations' Code which could be imposed by the Secretary of State for each day
business is done without a valid certificate. The Code further provides that such
a corporation could not bring a lawsuit in the courts of the State of California.
However, Mr. Hopkins stated, in his opinion, the contractual relationship between
Miken Associates, Inc. and the City would still be binding, despite the fact that
they failed to obtain the certificate.
78-552
City Hal!, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1978, 1:30 P.M,
Councilman Seymour stated that he took exception to the report in that it appears
to place the responsibility for administration of this program with Mr. Ferrone,
who only recently came on board, and did recognize the situation and seek to do
something about it. He questioned who the responsible party would be for moni-
toring and maintaining a relationship with R. L. Kautz to assure that the City
was receiving the services contracted for during the 2-year period previous.
Mr. Talley stated that he, as City Manager, would have to accept the ultimate
responsibility for this program. He noted that when he took over the City Manager
position, on reading the management reports there was no notice of any such problem.
At this period in time there had just been a change in Council Policy to minimize
costs by going self-insured, and by setting up a program of working with departments,
as opposed to the claim administrator. There was, in this program, a division of
responsibilities which he did not recognize at that time, However, he noted that in
the first full year of budget under his administration he had recommended the City
enter into a risk management program with a first step being review of where the
City is by a consultant, and as a further step in this progression, the Council has
agreed to establish positions of Risk Manager and Safety Officer.
Councilman Seymour stressed that his primary concern with the audit report is the
finding on Page 5, which notes that the first employer's report, which should
optimally be submitted within 48 hours, in the vast majority of cases reported it
took 10 days or longer for the City departments to submit these reports. This
situation persisted for a 2-year period. He inquired as to where the simple
management techniques were to monitor and control this situation. He stated it was
apparent to him from the audit report that "no one was minding the store". He
particularly found fault with the fact that 1) the employer's reports were not
submitted within 48 hours; 2) that sufficient funds were not maintained in a trust
account to cover the claims; 3) that creditors (medical providers, in this case)
were not treated in a more respectable fashion, i.e., by paying their bills on
time; 4) that someone was not monitoring the company handling the claims to insure
that the City was receiving the service for which it contracted, instead of allow-
ing R. L. Kautz and Company to handle over 800 claims per month, instead of the
400 to 600 claims per month they should have been handling.
Mayor Seymour summarized that he is disgusted with the level of competence demon-
strated in the administration of this program, particularly because it is a major
program amounting to an excess of $2 million dollars in claims.
Mr. Talley felt it unfair to categorize this program in that fashion, inasmuch as
it has not been on a $2 million dollar level for the entire 2-year period, but as
it was recognized that costs were rising, the audit was recommended. The problem
was addressed at the completion of the 1976-77 fiscal year when several meetings
were called to review the situation and it was noted that there was no clear desig-
nation of authority in the program, but, rather, many departments were working on
different aspects of risk management.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that in the Arthur Young and Company Management
Audit for which consultation the City paid over one-half million dollars, the risk
management program was established as being of secondary importance in the report
on Personnel Department dated March 11; 1975.

Kott, seconded by Councilman Roth, the City Council ratified the determination

104: PUBLIC HEARING - STREET LIGHT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 1.977-1: To consider
objections to the improvement or to the assessment of the proposed Street Light
Assessment District 1977-1 along and upon North Street, Lenz Drive and Spring
Street in Tract No. 1404.
Report from~e Public Works Director was presented recommending that the Street
Lighting Assessment District No. 1977-1 for Tract No. 1404 be established with
the beginning of the assessment period on October 1, 1978.
Mayor Seymour asked if anyone wished to address the Council.
Mrs. Dorothy Cullen, 828 Lenz Drive, Anaheim, voiced her opposition to the place-
ment of one of the proposed street lights between two driveways at 828 and 832
Lenz Drive inasmuch as this is a double driveway with no grass area in between,
making it a large concrete area. She felt that the location of the street light
there would make it useable as a public playground encouraging children to con-
gregate. She requested this light pole be eliminated or moved. Further, Mrs.
Cullen advised that many of her neighbors were surprised that they had chosen
the ornamental street light, for which they are required to pay some assessmen~
rather than the safety lights. She further indicated that she personally was not
opposed to paying for these street lights, but that she knew of other people who
had signed the petition not being aware that they were agreeing to paying for the
lights. She also submitted a plot plan she had prepared indicating placement of
the lights and how this might affect her neighborhood.
Because of some confusion as to the amount of assessment per house for the 5-year
period, Mr. Bob Herr, representing the City Engineering Department, explained that
the entire cost for street lighting maintenance during this period would be
$3,423 plus 10% for administration, totaling $3,765, which amounts to a $25.97
cost per individual parcel per year, or approximately $125 total for the 5-year
period.
Mrs. Adele Cisneros, 832 Lenz Drive, Anaheim, also indicated that the double drive-
way situation with the street light would cause problems and suggested this street
light be moved to a drainway area on the same side of'the street.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, Mayor Seymour closed the
public hearing.
At the conclusion of the discussion, after reviewing the plot plan showing place-
ment of the street lights, Councilman Kott moved that the placement of the street

116: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - "BLUE RIBBON" COMMITTEE: Mr. John Flocken, 1320
South Hacienda Street, Anaheim, member of the Economic Development Blue Ribbon
Committee, stated that he was sent by the Committee to address the Council and
request that they approve the proposed by-laws for the Anaheim Economic Develop-
ment Corporation, as submitted, and subsequent to that, and contingent upon
approval, that they take under advisement the appointment of two members to the
Board of Directors of said corporation.
In response to Councilwoman Kaywood, it was pointed out that a pro forma budget
in the amount of $104,000 was approved in concept, and that the budget actually
established will be based on performance objectives.
Councilman Roth summarized that at the last Blue Ribbon Committee meeting a change
was made to the proposed by-laws which deleted two appointees coming from the
City Manager's Office. These two City representatives would still be involved
but their role was changed from that of directorship to membership on the Advisory
Board. He stressed that this leaves out of the total ofnine members ok the Board
of Directors, two members to be appointed by the City Council. Councilman Roth
78-556
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1978, 1:30 P,M.
addressed his concern to the remaining Council Members that if the $104,000 is
only anticipated to be seed money, and this Board of Directors will be handling
sums much larger than that, for which the Anaheim City Council will hold the
ultimate responsibility, then how will the Council be assured there are adequate
safeguards to control the use of these funds. He added that he does support the
concept 100% and thinks it is a very viable program.
Mr. Talley explained that the original concept for this corporation called for
20% of the funding to come from the Redevelopment Agency and 80% from Manpower
funds. He suggested that the desired controls might require an extremely
detailed contract that would be post-audited for any City-originated funds.
Mayor Seymour suggested that perhaps the experience the City has had with the
Anaheim Visitor and Convention Bureau would allay Councilman Roth's fears, inas-
much as they have operated successfully with City Council approval of a budget
which called for expenditures of one-half million dollars per year, and the City
Council has no voting rights on the Board of Directors of the V & C Bureau.
In further answer to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Flocken explained that two members
proposed to be appointed by the City Manager's Office were removed from the Board
of Directors and placed on the Advisory Committee primarily because of concerns
regarding clear definition of conflict of interest on the part of these parti-
cipants. He also recalled the names of the members of the Blue Ribbon Committee
and advised that the by-laws proposed were unanimously recommended by that Committee
for Council approval.
Councilman Kott questioned Section "K" relating to a provision that, without meeting,
action taken by written consent of all members of the Board shall have the same
force and effect as unanimous vote of the Directors; and Section "N" regarding
conflict of interest provisions.
Following brief discussion, it was determined that Section "K" does contain some
ambiguities and could use clarification as to whether or not the consent is being
given only for the meeting or for the action itself and City Attorney Hopkins
suggested this be amended. '
Mr. Flocken explained that Section "N" requires that each Director on the Board
will understand and sign a conflict of interest statement. In addition, Mr.
Hopkins noted that Government Code Section 1090 prohibits a member of any govern-
mental body from having an interest in a contract being acted upon by the govern-
ing board of that public entity and this could also be spelled out more clearly in
the by-laws.
Councilman Kott summarized that he supports the concept of the Economic Development
Corporation, but he indicated he would be opposed to the use of City tax funds for
such a program and would also oppose the housing of the corporation in City offices.
He thought it should be a separate and distinct entity.
Councilman Overholt also indicated support for the concept under discussion, but
stated that he would be absolutely opposed to the form in which it is presented in
the by-laws. He voiced the opinion that this corporation would come as close to
78-557
City Hall,..Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1978, 1:30 P.M,
being an arm of the City as anything could be, and, therefore, with a beginning
budget of $104,000 and the potential of spending much larger sums of money, he
felt it sheer foolishness for the Anaheim City Council to even consider appoint-
ment of two individuals to a nine-member board. He stressed that the funds will be
going into this Economic Development Corporation by reason of the City of Anaheim.
Since it is the City Council which is responsive and sensitive to the electorate,
with respect to what this corporation does, he felt that the Council, by relin-
quishing the right of appointment of any less than four members to the Board,
would be abrogating their responsibility to the public. He further voiced concern
over many inconsistencies contained in the proposed by-laws which, in his opinion,
also represented risks to the City. He recommended that the Board be restructured
and that four members of same be appointed by the City Council; four appointed from
the private sector; and then these eight members elect the ninth person. In con-
clusion, Councilman Overholt suggested that the action approving these by-laws be
postponed until the City Attorney's Office reviews the by-laws, and also looks at the
question of balance on the governing board, as the check and balance needs to be
built into the corporation board from its inception.
Mayor Seymour responded that he appreciated Councilman Overholt's concern that there
be absolute certainty that the corporation board will carry out the taxpayers'
interests and could not agree more. However, he again pointed out that this corpor-
ation board is the same vehicle used over the past decade in the V & C Bureau very
successfully. He felt the safeguards for the Council would be implemented by close
review of the budget and financial auditing. With respect to four appointed members
on the board, Mayor Seymour stated that he would be satisfied with two members as
adequate, inasmuch as he felt any appointments would be political in nature and he
would prefer to keep politics out of this board. He stated he was totally opposed
to the concept that the City Manager's Office appoint two members, as was earlier
proposed.
Councilman Overholt agreed that he would not support appointments by the City
Manager's Office either, but disagreed that there is anything wrong with political
appointments, defining that he meant appointments made by the entire Council, the
five members of the Council agreeing on four individuals whom they feel will best
represent the people. The appointees from the Chamber of Commerce would represent
the business community and the one from the Board of Realtors would represent the
realtors. Councilman Overholt remarked that he felt the funding situation of this
proposed corporation would be somewhat different from the V & C Bureau in that they
would be empowered to seek different types of funding, whereas the V & C Bureau
receives funding through the City.
Councilman Roth again stressed that he wants safeguards which will assure him
several years from now that all of the funds entrusted to the corporation have been
properly spent and all are accounted for. He pointed out that these are federal
funds with many strings attached, and the City Council retains the responsibility
for their use.
MOTION: At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Overholt moved that the proposed--
structure of the Board of Directors of the Economic Development Corporation be amende
to include four appointees from the City Council, three appointees from the Board of
Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, one from the Board of Realtors, and one mem-
ber to be elected by the eight so appointed, making up a nine-member board; and that
78-558
City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1978, 1:30 P.M.
the by-laws be reviewed in light of this amendment and returned with appropriate
changes to the Council for approval. Councilman Roth seconded the motion.
At Mayor Seymour's suggestion, since he felt the Blue Ribbon Committee had already
done their utmost to provide what they felt should be in the by-laws, the foregoing
motion was amended to reflect that Councilman Overholt and the City Attorney would
review the by-laws and bring proposed changes in same back to the Council for
approval. Councilman Roth agreed to second the motion as amended.
Councilman Kott remarked that he felt it is the duty of the Anaheim City Council
to see that this corporation is properly administered and vowed that he, for one,
would be willing to withhold the funds in the event that he feels something is
amiss.
Vote was taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
170: EVALUATION OF SLOPE FAILURES - WESTRIDGE TRACT - REPORT FROM PACIFIC SOILS
ENGINEERING COMPANY: Mr. Ron Thompson submitted a report from Pacific Soils
Engineering Company regarding the Westridge tract, and in addition, a joint status
report from Planning and Public Works dated May 3, 1978. Mr. Thompson explained
that it is the opinion of both Public Works and Planning Departments that they con-
cur with the evaluation made by Pacific Soils Engineering Company. In addition,
it is staff's opinion that the slopes and grading in the Westridge area conformed
to the approved grading plans and City ordinances in effect at the time they were
originally constructed and inspected. Mr. Thompson reported that the Planning and
Public Works staff will continue to work with affected homeowners to obtain solu-
tions to individual slope failure and irrigation problems.
Mrs. Jan Hall, 545 Tumbleweed Road, Anaheim, stated that she appreciated the tremen-
dous amount of work which went into the Pacific Soils Engineering Company report.
They did identify all of the problems and have presented each affected homeowner
with a report. She indicated that the concern of everyone in the Westridge area
now is that the slopes be restored safely, and that some control over this project
be instituted. In this connection, she suggested that the City require the purchase
of permits by contractors restoring the slopes so that inspections can be made to
insure these are restored properly. Mrs. Hall pointed out that this safeguard is
necessary, in that many small, private contractors are making overtures to the
homeowners to perform this restoration work. She also noted that the situation will
not be relieved if only one or two homeowners repair slopes, k is a total problem,
and if all of them are not repaired, there will be a general failure once again.
In response to Councilman Kott's query regarding cor~ent in the Pacific Soils
Report indicating there is still concern as to whom is responsible, Mr. Thompson
noted it is necessary for staff to continue to work with affected homeowners to
obtain solutions to their individual slope failure problems. The problems and
causes are varied, and he noted some might be attributed to lack of maintenance,
others, to too much maintenance, failure to take care of gophers, etc.
Additional discussion was held regarding substandard irrigation piping utilized on
Lots 13 through 16 in Tract No. 7567, during which Mr. Thompson explained that this
problem was discovered some time after the installation, only because of report from
a former employee of Omega Landscaping Company indicating that 13 lots were installed
78-559
City ~11, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May...9, 1978, 1:30 P.M.
with Schedule 20 piping, rather than Schedule 40, as called for. He explained that
his staff is working with the City Attorney's Office to utilize the bonds still held
against this tract to replace the substandard piping.
At the conclusion of discussion, Mrs. Hall expressed her thanks to the Council
and staff for the tremendous job they had done in this situation and, in particular,
for the assistance and consideration given the homeowners.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour moved to receive and file the report from Pacific Soils
Engineering Company and to direct that permits be required for regrading and restora-
tion of the slopes; said permits to be issued by the City at the cost of the contractor
performing this work; and that adequate and complete inspections of the restored
slopes be made. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for five minutes. (4:40 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Seymour called the meeting to order, all Council Members being

167: REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL ASSESSMENT - CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF
LATTER DAY SAINTS: Mr. Otto Korver, 1110 South Robertson Boulevard, Los Angeles,
California, representing Dave Gange, who forwarded the original request for waiver
of traffic signal assessment fees (Council Policy No. 214) in connection with a
church to be built at Nohl Ranch and Royal Oaks Roads, stated that they were
informed very few traffic lights have been installed in conjunction with churches,
and their church seeks to enjoy this same privilege.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that the instances in which the Council ~waived
traffic signal assessment requirements in the past related to moving of a school
across the street and completion of a building program, both of which cases would
not generate any additional measurable traffic. She felt that this particular
situation, in which an entirely new church is being built, is not analogous.
It was reported by Mr. Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, that this particular signal
would be installed along with an already approved AHFP cooperative project to be
under construction by August of this year between Villa Real and Imperial Highway
on Nohl Ranch Road.
Mayor Seymour voiced the opinion that the Council should hold firm to its
policy that waivers not be grante~ except in those instances where an addition or
improvement to an existing church property is being built, which will not cause
any measurable increase in traffic.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour thereupon moved that the waiver of Council Policy
No. 214 relating to assessment of traffic signal fees, submitted by Mr. Dave Gange
on behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, be denied. Councilwoman
Kas~ood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
176: ABANDONM]~NT NO. 76-9A EXTENSION OF TIME: Request of Dr. and Mrs. E.

Mrs. Hendricks was recognized by the Mayor, and in response to Councilman Kott,
advised that she has submitted plans for curb and gutter installation, and lot
line adjustment plat to reflect uneven distribution of property; and has ready
for submittal a signed hold-harmless agreement and Covenant Not to Sue.

Solicitation Permit from the City of Hope for door-to-door solicitation of funds
to benefit medicine and science from June 11 to June 18, 1978, was presented.
The City Clerk advised that the organizers verbally reported this date that they
are projecting they will raise $5,000 in the City of Anaheim with expenditures of
$450, and that the figures shown on the application form related to goals and
expenditures throughout all of Southern California. With this additional informa-
tion, the City Attorney and Business License Division have no objection to granting
of a permit in accordance with Anaheim Municipal Code Section 7.32.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City
Council approved Solicitation Permit for City of Hope to conduct door-to-door
solicitation of funds during the period June 11 to June 18, 1978. MOTION CARRIED.
178: REPORT - ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT BOARD ACTIVITIES: Mr. Gus Lenain
presented the Orange County Water District annual report and offered to answer any
questions Council might have. In addition, he invited Council Members and the Press
to attend a tour of Orange County Water District facilities from the Prado Dam to
the Fountain Valley facility on Friday, June 2, 1978, from 9:00 A.M. to about 1:30
P.M.
In response to Councilwoman Kaywood's query regarding the desalting plant (Water
Factory No. 21), Mr. Lenain explained that this facility is currently producing
50 million gallons per day, which they are pumping back into underground storage.
Regarding water rates for the next twelve months, Mr. Lenain remarked that the MW])
is now taking excess water from the Kern River as a supplement to that which is
supposed to come from the North, and also to help reduce a flood stage in the San
Joaquin Valley. This may prove less costly because the distance is shorter and
there is less pumping. However, Mr. Lenain stated that with energy costs as high
as they are, water rates will most likely continue to rise.
Councilman Kott commented that in conversations with Mr. Lenain, he had ascertained
that there actually is another line from bfw-D located somewhere about the freeway
and Weir Canyon which could be used to fulfill some of the capacities for which the
Diemer Intertie is proposed, 'and at less cost, since its location would not require the
amount of energy to distribute water, which the Diemer Intertie will require.
Mr. Lenain described that in the pipeline which comes across the Canyon at approxi-
mately Coal Canyon, there is a "T" in the line and a crawl hole for inspection of
the line which crosses the River. He advised that while he was working for the City,
he learned from Mr. Diemer that all that would be necessary to convert this line
would be to purchase a "T" and set it crossways on top of the existing "T" to take
78-562
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1978, 1:30 P.M,
connection from this line, placing a blank flange at the other end. He stated
that he believed water pressures would be better at that point, and it would not
be necessary to pump as much water as it would from the Intertie. Mr. Lenain
stated that there is also a useable connection, which was purchased from the
Nohl Ranch at the time land was purchased~ and it is located in the PeraltaHills
district. Mr. Lenain summarized that the biggest problem with all of the MWD
pipelines is that many cities, aside from Anaheim, use them as reservoirs because
they have no storage capacity. He voiced the opinion that this will also be the
situation with the Diemer Intertie. He noted, also, that the MWD is thinking of
purchasing back from the City of Anaheim that section of Number 2 East line for
which the City paid, roughly three-quarters of a million dollars. He was of the
opinion that should th~ City sell this back to the MW-D, it would be wise to take
that money and invest it back into the water system.
(]ouncilman Kott pointed out to the Members of the Council that they had voted for
an expenditure of $3 million dollars for the Diemer Intertie, whereas it appeared
strange to him that City staff was not aware of the fact that there are other
underground facilities availab]e that would have served the same purpose without
the (~ity making that expenditure.

142: CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE COUNCIL WORK DISCUSSION: Mr. Overholt introduced
the subject, indicating it was his understanding each of the Council Members was
to nominate two possible appointees to the Charter Review Committee this date, and
each of thmse nominees would then be appointed by a majority vote of the entire
Council. He suggested, because of the necessity to have any proposed Charter revi-
sions ready for the ballot by the 1st of August, that the Council be prepared to
accomplish these appointments at the next meeting, May 16, 1978.
78-567
City Hall, Anaheim, .California - COUNCIL MINUTES May 9, 1978, 1:30 P.M,
Councilman Roth advised that he would not be in attendance at the next meeting
but, so as not to delay the Council, would submit his two nominees, in writing,
to the City Clerk.
Mayor Seymour reviewed that the Charter Review Committee would be asked 1) to
conduct a review of the entire city Charter; 2) to research and investigate a
potential change governing campaign contributions and expenditures; 3) to carry
forth any subsequent charge given them by the City Council.
Councilman Roth added to this that the City Council itself was to meet and try
to make a decision on the question of extending City Council membership from
five to seven people, and the method of electing a Mayor; and if the Council could
not come to terms on these matters, they would then charge the Charter Review
Committee to include same in their deliberations.
The City Council determined, by general consent, they would present nominations
and make appointments to the Charter Review Committee on May 16, 1978, and in
addition, the Council would hold their first work session on Monday, June 5, 1978
at 3:00 P.M. (place to be later determined by the City Clerk.)
114: LIAISON COMMITTEE REPORT: Mr. Overholt reported to fellow Council Members
that he had participated in his first Liaison Committee Meeting this date, with
the Mayor, Stadium Director and City Manager. The meeting was largely devoted to
bringing himself up to date on the Rams negotiations, since he has been charged by
the Mayor with being informed in this particular area.
It was announced that the next Liaison Committee meeting, which would deal with
HACMAC, will be held Friday, May 12, 1978, and the Liaison Committee Members would
be Councilwoman Kaywood and Mayor Seymour.
148: RESIGNATION - ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIl.: Councilwoman Kaywood
submitted a letter received from Mrs. Pat Kenworthy indicating resignation of her
position as alternate to the Orange County Health Planning Council, because she
is moving from the area.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the resignation
of Mrs. Pat Kenworthy as alternate to the Orange County Health Planning Council
was accepted, with regrets, and a vacancy declared. MOTION CARRED.
148: SCAG EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE POLICY ADVISORY COMMITTEES: For Council Members'
choices and information, Councilwoman Kaywood submitted a list of SCAG Policy
Advisory Committees and appointments, noting Mayor Seymour's name on the Economic
Development Committee.
166: POLITICAL SIGNS ON UTILITY POLES: Councilwoman Kaywood noted that she is
still aware of many (both old and new) political campaign signs still posted on
City utility poles. She urged that the City Council adopt a regulation that any
candidate for an office representing any portion of Anaheim, not just local
municipal elections, be required to post sufficient bond so that political signs
would be removed at the candidates's expense.

City Hal~..1, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES May 9, 1~78, ...1:30 P,M.
City Attorney Hopkins explained that he has researched this subject and the City
Manager's Office has conducted a survey, indicating that where there is a prohi-
bition against posting of signs, the courts have held this an unconstitutional
impairment of free speech rights. The courts have, further, held that an absolute
prohibition on the posting of signs of any kind may be allowed, provided there is
a good reason, i.e., possible injury to the utility linemen from nails on the poles.
He explained that they are continuing with this research and would present a report
to Council at the May 16, 1978 meeting.
175: ARTICLE IN ANAHEIM BULLETIN REGARDING SUNDESERT PROJECT: At the request
of Councilman Kott, Mr. Ed Alario, Assistant Utilities Director, clarified that
Mr. Hoyt's statement, which was misquoted in the Anaheim Bulletin article, was
to the effect that, in fact, the generation project continues past the study
phase, and the City decides to withdraw from same, the City would then receive
the funds back which were expended during the study phase; if, however, the pro-
ject is cancelled for any reason or does not proceed, these funds would not come
back to the City.
132: TRASH STRIKE: Councilman Kott noted that he had received several calls from
citizens regarding the on-going trash strike, and in particular, one individual
suggested that the contract between the trash disposal companies and the union
recognize one another so that the matter might be settled by arbitration. He
asked whether the City has any control over the trash disposal companies and their
relationship with the unions.
Mr. Hopkins replied that the City has no control over labor relations policies
of the trash disposal companies; that would be a private matter subject to National
Labor Relations Board action. The City could not mandate such requirement on the
trash disposal companies.
Additionally, Mr. Thornton Piersall reported that staff has been discussing with
both trash contractors a proposal to make refunds to the users for those collections
never made, and a recommendation will be presented to the City Council at their
next meeting.
Mr. Piersall further summarized that the strike is still on; however, it is
believed that a majority of the strikers have returned to work and the union is
intending to call for a vote on the final offer.
105: ATTENDANCE AT BOARD AND COMMISSION MEETINGS BY APPOINTED MEMBERS: Councilman
Kott called attention to an anonymous note placed in his mail regarding the late
arrival of Commissioner Linn at Planning Commission meetings. He suggested that
the Council request the Zoning Supervisor to present attendance records for the
Planning Commissioners over the past twelve months so that the City Council might
utilize this information in making decisions which are in the best interests of
the City and those who utilize the Planning Commission.
Mayor Seymour advised that he shared Councilman Kott's concern on this issue and
suggested this matter be discussed by the Council Liaison Committee and the Chairman
and Vice Chairman of the Commission involved prior to the entire Council making any
decisions. He advised that his personal feelings on the matter are that, so long
as the work of the Commission is not being damaged or hindered, then some amount of
flexibility should be allowed.
78-569
City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES - May 9, 1978, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour, thereupon, asked the City Clerk to furnish for the Council the
attendance records of all Boards and Commissions, inasmuch as he felt it appropriate
at this juncture for the Council to review the functions of these groups, and where
necessary, pull them together or, if no longer needed, dissolve them. He would
propose to use the Council Liaison Committee to initiate some thinking on these
Boards and Commissions, and then bring the matter to the full Council for decision.
114: PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE STATE - COUNCILMAN ROTH: On motion by Councilman
Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, Councilman Roth was granted permission
to leave the state for 90 days. MOTION CARRIED~
142: CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS: Councilman Roth announced that the
two nominees whose names he will give to the City Clerk for action by the City
Council next week in his absence are: Mr. Jack Ward, 1736 Greenleaf, Anaheim and
Mr. Gaylen Compton, 2304 East Cliffpark, Anaheim.
148: ORANGE COUNTY LEAGUE OF CITIES SELECTION OF AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSIONER:
Mayor Seymour advised that at the upcoming Thursday evening meeting of the Orange
County League of Cities, am appointment will be made to the Airport Land Use
Commission and he would seek concurrence from the remainder of the Council on his
ballot choice, Virginia Farmer, from the City of Placentiao He explained that to
his knowledge, Mrs. Farmer would make a good representative for the City of
Anaheim, inaamuch as she has taken a position of opposition to the Chino Hills
Airport proposal and/or any furtherance of study or research activity on the same.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that Mrs. Farmer is an experienced planner.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Kott, the Anaheim City
Council determined they would concur with Mayor Seymour's vote for Virginia Farmer
as the Orange County League of Cities Selection Committee appointment to the Airport
Land Use Commission. MOTION CARRIED.
174: PROPOSED CETA LEGISLATION: With regard to pending federal legislation
regarding the CETA program (House Resolution No. 11086 and Senate Bill 2570),
rewriting CETA re-enactment legislation, which asks that local agencies pick up
such costs as retirement and unemployment benefits, which would have to be paid
for out of local funds, Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 78R-303 for
adoption urg~g that this legislation be amended in those areas which would
adversely affect the City and local jurisdictions. (Said resolution is recommended
by the Orange County League of Cities.) Refer to Resolution Book.
