137: CATASTROPHIC PROPERTY INSURANCE FOR CITY VEHICLES STORED AT 518 SOUTH
CLAUDINA: Councilman Roth moved to authorize the purchase of fire and extended
coverage insurance from Allendale Mutual Insurance Company for vehicles stored
at 518 South Claudina Street, as recommended in memorandum dated May 30, 1978,
from Mr. Jack Love, Risk Manager. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mr. Jack Love, Risk Manager, answered questions posed
by both Mayor Seymour and Councilman Kott as follows: three bids were received
on the subject coverage, the most favorable being the one recommended; the
quotations submitted included vandalism and malicious mischief as opposed to
only fire coverage.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Seymour offered an alternate motion
to continue the matter for one week during which time the Risk Manager would obtain
quotations for fire coverage only instead of an all risk quotation. Councilman
Kott seconded the motion.
Thereupon, Councilman Roth withdrew his motion and Councilwoman Kaywood withdrew
her second.
A vote was then taken on the alternate motion. MOTION CARRIED.
180: WORKERS' COMPENSATION - EXCESS COVERAGE: On motion by Councilman Roth,
seconded by Councilman Kott, the Risk Manager was authorized to submit the City's
Excess Workers' Compensation policy, $5 million excess of $5 million, for
short-rate cancellation, as recommended in memorandum dated May 30, 1978, from
the Risk Manager. MOTION CARRIED.
Before concluding, Mr. Love noted that a correction was necessary in his report,
last paragraph--the annual savings should have been reflected as $11,098 instead
of $11,162.
78-687
City Ha~ll, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
180: TEMPORARY INSURANCE COVERAGE: Mayor Seymour stated it was his under-
standing that relative to liability insurance, the City had $10 million worth
of excess coverage and that the premium on that amount was approximately
$600,000--Mr. Love clarified it was approximately $800,000. Also, Warren,
McVeigh & Griffin recommended $20 million of excess coverage in the event a
dam burst or a catastrophe occurred at the Stadium or Convention Center, creating
a large liability. Further, the City had an opportunity to pick up that excess
$10 million (the second $10 million) at a rate 10 percent less than what the
first $10 million cost. He was concerned as to why no action had been taken to
pursue the matter.
Mr. Jack Love first confirmed the Mayor's understanding and indicated that he had
submitted a memorandum to the City Manager on the subject for resubmission to the
Council. He had evaluated the matter and had serious questions regarding the
nature of the exposure itself, cost, etc.
The Mayor emphasized his concern relative to the time factor involved wherein
the price quoted on the premium had been extended only to June 15, 1978; Mr.
Love stated that although Mr. Griffin indicated that the City was under-insured
in the area of liability, how m~ch insurance the City really needed remained to
be answered, especially in regard to dams. He did not consider it a serious
problem necessitating the purchase of insurance immediately without thorough
evaluation.
After a brief discussion relative to insurance costs for the period of time to
September 1, 1978, he directed the Risk Manager to be prepared in one week to
discuss temporary insurance coverage, as well as submit a written report to
facilitate the Council's decision.
106/142: DISCUSSION AND CLARIFICATION RELATIVE TO STATUS OF CITY MANAGER'S
ADMINISTRATIVE WORK PAPERS: Mayor Seymour stated that he and City Manager Talley
had a confrontation the previous week at a City Management meeting over his (Seymour's)
request for work papers relative to a contingency plan in the event of passage
of Proposition 13. He believed he was being deprived as an elected official of
documentation that might assist him in doing a better job for the people of the
City. As a result, he asked the City Attorney for his opinion and interpretation
of the City Charter since there seemed to be a misunderstanding as to what it em-
powered regarding the ability of a member or a majority of the Council to gain
access to certain work papers. The answer was provided in his memorandum dated
May 31, 1978, copies of which were also distributed to the Council. Thus, he wanted
to clarify publicly what information a Council person had a right by the Charter
to obtain and what information a majority of the City Council by action had a
right to obtain. In order to set a basis for clarification and discussion, he
wished to interpret, in his own words, the City Attorney's opinion and if there
was disagreement, he wanted it clarified publicly so that no elected official
in the future would be faced with such a confrontation.
In essence, the City Attorney answered four questions: (1) Can the City Council
order the City Manager to furnish copies of certain administrative work papers,
and in this particular case, budget work papers?
78-688
City ~a~l, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978, 1:30 P.M.
INTERPRETATION: Yes, the City Council or a majority could ask for such budget
work papers, and the City Manager would respond by furnishing copies of such
papers, not originals. If he had to give up the originals, this might preclude
the Manager from carrying out his duties.
(2) Can an individual member of the City Council order the City Manager to
furnish copies of certain administrative work papers, i.e., budget work papers,
to such Council Member?
INTERPRETATION: It was clear in the City Attorney's opinion that an individual
member could not do that unless the City Manager was willing to do so. If he
was unwilling, the individual could not obtain the documentation, but a majority
vote of the Council could require that it be provided.
(3) Do budget work papers constitute public records which must be made available
to the general public if disclosed to the City Council or an individual Council
Member?
INTERPRETATION: The Mayor first explained the reason he raised the question was
due to the fact that the City Manager felt if he gave such work papers to all or
an individual Council Member, it would be public information and have to be treated
as such. The City Attorney said no, it would not be a public record and all the
City Manager need do was to stamp the papers "honfidential" and tha~ confidentiality
would be passed on as the responsibility of the person receiving the papers. Thus,
the City Manager would not have to be concerned with the public nature of distributing
such work papers.
(4) Would such an order--meaning to furnish work papers--interfere with execution
by the City Manager of his powers and duties and therefore be in violation of
Section 607 of the City Charter (Administrative Interference portion)?
INTERPRETATION: The Mayor conceded that aspect was much more complex and thus
cited some conditions that might exist in order to be certain he understood the
opinion given. If a member of the Council asked a department head or the City
Manager a question--that is, if a call were placed to the Police Chief relative
to a certain matter, the Chief would not have to respond, but if he wished to do
so, he could, resulting in no administrative interference. Therefore, the Council
person would have the right to make the inquiry. Likewise, if the City Manager
were asked on behalf of a majority of the Council for whatever papers he might have,
no matter how raw in form, the City Manager was bound by the City Charter to pro-
vide such information. As well, if a majority of the Council asked the City Manager
to obtain from a department head certain information, even if that information were
still in the posession of the department head, the City Manager had the responsibility
of carrying out his duties as expressed in the Charter by obtaining same and deliver-
ing it to the entire City Council.
City Attorney William P. Hopkins stated that the Mayor's interpretation of his
opinions was correct as articulated.
City Manager Talley stated he would not speak to the interpretation of the City
Attorney's opinion, but as far as how the City Manager operated, he agreed with
the Mayor. He worked for the City Council and other than his checkbook, anything
in his desk that the majority of the Council wanted to see, they were welcome to it.
78-689
City Hall~ .Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Relative to the discussion he had with the Mayor, he was operating under the
basis that department heads had confided in him certain information that he
thought he was going to present to the Council on June 13, 1978, if Proposition
13 passed. He assured them that he would treat the information in confidence
until (1) there was a declaration from the voters, and (2) they had a chance to
review it. There was never any indication on his part that whatever the majority
of the Council wanted they could not have. As well, if an individual Council
Member wanted anything that he felt was within the realms stated by the Mayor,
that was acceptable. If there was a question as to whether it should be distri-
buted without consulting, he would probably distribute it to everybody in order
to be as open as possible. The confusion may have arisen since in past years
when the Council asked for information on the budget, it had always been Council
policy to file a copy with the City Clerk. He always considered anything that
the staff prepared as a finished product a public document. If the City Attorney
stated that was not the case, then that was a legal distinction he would have to
define. He never thought that the budget itself and the information furnished
the Council for their decisions thereon could be covered up. He (Talley) preferred
when he distributed amendments to give those to the City Clerk, but if the Council
did not want to do so, he did not have any problem. The only situation with which
he might disagree might be where the Council might make an inquiry of a department
head because he would either be transgressing verbal or written orders from the
City Manager. He believed that would be strictly administrative interference and
thereupon gave a hypothetical example of same.
The Mayor repeated his interpretation of the rights of an individual Council Member
which he believed the City Manager misunderstood; that being that if a department
head did not wish to answer a question, a majority vote of the Council to direct
him to furnish the requested information would be necessary.
Mr. Talley conceded that under those circumstances, he misunderstood, but he
wished to emphasize that when a department head was asked a question by a Council
person, they felt a pressure to reply if at all possible since the Council was
their boss. There was a pervading incentive in the back of their minds to figure
out a way to answer the question and to the satisfaction of the Council person.
Mayor Seymour stated that he would like to go on record wherein--unless he saw
some attempt being made by a requesting Council person to do something that might
injure the City, his attitude toward any request of any of his colleagues on the
Council was that they were entitled to gain all the knowledge possible to seek
every opportunity to better educate themselves. As long as the request was rea-
sonable, he would go along with whatever they wanted even though technically it
might require a vote. He hoped that his colleagues would pay the same respect
to whatever his request might be.
Councilman Kott stated that Mr. Talley had been quoted as stating that many
recommendations had been made by department heads, but he (Talley) considered
them unfeasible and there were cuts he would not recommend. He believed that
the department heads should know best what was going on in their departments.
Thus, he wanted to know what those recommendations were and be able to call that
department head to ascertain what the City Manager did not go along with.
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6, 1978, 1:30 P.M.
78-690
Discussion followed between Councilman Kott and Mr. Talley wherein Mr. Talley
explained that in the final analysis, he was responsible for any recommendations
made, and he thereupon gave examples of the need for better coordination between
departments and pointed to the consequences if such coordination did not occur.
The Mayor stated the point that Councilman Kott was attempting to emphasize was
the same as his. The reasons given by him (Talley) for not wanting to disclose
certain information was that (1) it had not been finalized and (2) it could
cause a negative impact on employee morale. The reasons he (Seymour) asked for
the information last week were two-fold: (1) he wanted to prepare himself as
far in advance as possible relative to the budget even though he knew the infor-
mation would not be conclusive and (2) in the event Proposition 13 did not pass,
he would never see the recommendations that might contain some good cuts that he
would like to have implemented, discussed or debated.
Mr. Talley stated that his greatest fear lay in the fact that misstatements,
which on a number of occasions occurred because of a lack of total understanding
of the process of department heads, might be conveyed, and he thus wanted to get
the complete story. A point had been raised, if the list was prepared and
Proposition 13 did not pass, it was necessary to know the Council's policy. If
the Council wanted the report they would get it privately or publicly, however
they wished. If a majority of the Council did not want the list and one Council
person demanded it, then the Manager should not be put in that dilemma, and the
Council person should merely ask for it.
After further discussion, Councilman Kott suggested that the area under discussion,
that is the request of one Council person or a majority of the Council relative
to such matters, might be an area in which the Charter Review Committee should
become involved. As was pointed out, each Council person was interested in pro-
viding everyone in the City with as much services, as possible, as economically as
possible. He maintained that each should have a right to ask for any documenta-
tion that might lead to that conclusion.
Regarding what was confidential and what was not, he did not believe that to be
the primary consideration. He pointed out that Mr. Talley had released documents
before marked confidential, but merely because a document was released, did not
necessarily mean it had to be public. He emphasized that this was an area that
should be evaluated and if, in fact, it was what the Charter said, then the people
who designed the Charter overlooked an important aspect.
Councilman Overholt stated that he agreed with the Mayor's interpretation of the
City Attorney's opinions, but he wished to expand on the fourth point. The partic-
ular fact situation involved was a request that certain documents represented to
be in the custody of the City Manager be turned over immediately even though the
City Manager stated he did not have an opportunity to review that documentation.
He submitted that the test of reasonableness was something to be considered in
whether or not the City Council was interfering with the City Manager's powers
and duties which they could not do. Regarding the fact situation, if the Council
(majority of 3) requested the Manager to turn over certain documents in his posses-
sion without an opinion, then reasonable time should be given to assemble documents,
copy them and turn them over and if he wished, in his transmittal, state that he
78-691
~ty Ha~l~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
had not reviewed those documents. If the Council requested the Manager to turn
over documentation in his posession with an opinion, then he should have reason-
able time in which to do so, form an opinion, transmit the documents with his
opinion, which action might take a little longer.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that agreed with his opinion and the doctrine of
reasonableness applied to any matter.
Councilman Overholt concluded that out of a sense of fairness to the parties
supplying the documents, that they have time to do whatever they had to do.
If he received the documents, he would also like to know the circumstances
under which they were submitted. He believed the City Attorney's opinion
clearly stated that the Council, by at least 3 votes, was entitled to see
copies of the documentation with or without opinion.
Mr. Talley stated there was no concern on his part relative to the clarification
made. Councilman Overholt believed it needed to be clarified because that was
essentially the problem.
106: QUESTIONS ON RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN: Mayor Seymour stated that the
Council originally planned to conduct the first public hearing on the BUdget
today. He advised the City Charter requires the Council to receive the Budget
prior to setting the date for public hearing thereon and to cause to be published
a notice thereof not less than 10 days prior to said hearing. Since the timing was
such this date that the Charter requirements had not yet been met, the Council was
precluded from discussing the Budget in a formal public hearing mode. However, he
did have ten questions which he wished to have answered although he did not expect
those answers at today's meeting since department heads were not available. He
commented first that he had spent many hours in reviewing the Budget, but even at
that, he did not understand it. It left little or no tracks, and he would not be
capable of voting on it one way or the other the way it was submitted. His questions
were as follows after which clarification or comments were given by City Manager
Talley:
1. Page A-3 - Budget Message - Fiscal Summary~ Paragraph 1: Relative to the
Water Utility Fund, where in the Budget did it reflect the water utility fund
balance of working capital and what had that balance been for the last 3 years?
2. Page A-3 - Budget Approach: The approach had been changed to reflect a one
year plus two ensuing years programs. Although he believed that the intent was
good providing longer range planning, he wanted to know, if the Council approved
the project or an amended form of same, would they also be giving tacit approval
of the following 2 years?
Mr. Talley explained that the intent on the 2-year program was totally to give
the Council and citizenry a broader perspective of the implications of their
decisions. It was merely an attempt to provide the Council with greater flexi-
bility, but there was no obligation attached to it. He believed with reasonable-
ness, however, it could be anticipated that if there were no comments by the
Council, it would basically be assumed next year that the new program was
acceptable. The Mayor reiterated he did not want anyone to interpret that he
was giving tacit approval to the following years.
78-692
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
3. Page A-3 - Program Development: Relative to CETA positions, where in
the Budget did it reflect how much City dollars were spent to supplement
CETA positions?
4. Page A-3 - Program Development: Where did the Budget reflect how many
CETA positions were permanent?
Mr. Talley stated that was not reflected in the Budget because there were none.
He thereupon gave his definition of a permanent position as requested by Mayor
Seymour as one that he would recommend the Council furnish with General Funds
if the CETA program ended tomorrow.
Mayor Seymour emphasized his ongoing concern that CETA positions were filling
permanent positions. His interpretation of a CETA position was one filled by
somebody doing a job that was necessary to the fulfillment of the activity of
a department; a temporary person doing a very temporary job that would not
exist beyond a given period of time.
Mr. Talley stated that was not entirely true; although many CETA positions
fqllowed the Mayor's definition, many others consisted of work where the City
could continue an expanded level of service for some period of time, not
temporarily.
Councilman Seymour expressed his concern that upon the passage of Proposition 13,
Mr. Talley would be recommending the elimination of CETA positions while at the
same time being placed in a position of telling the Council that services were
~going to suffer as a result of that action. If so, he predicted another confron-
tation would take place.
Mr. Talley stated clearly there was no question in his mind that he would be
informing the Council that service levels would be cut because of the elimination
of CETA employees. After further discussion on the matter, Mr. Talley stated
that he would supply the Mayor with a report on the cost of CETA by fund.
5. Page A-4 - Program Development - Paragraph 3: Statement: "for comparative
purposes, the Budget is down nine (9) personnel in administratively recommended
positions." The Mayor wanted to know where in the document the 9-person reduction
was reflected?
6. Page A-6 - Finance Charges: When was it projected that the Utility Billing
System would be revised; an estimate of the cost; did anyone else have an estimate
of the cos~?
7. Page A-6 - Finance Charges: Where in the Budget did it reflect an additional
~$200,000 of interest income as the result of the Moneymax Software Computerized
Data Processing Program?
8. Page A-6 - Finance Charges: The message stated that another $40,000 of
revenue would be generated as the result of increasing the monitoring of new
businesses and business licenses. Where did the Budget reflect this additional
$40,000?

9. Page A-6: Where in the Budget did it reflect $100,000 savings in reduced
inventory levels as indicated?
10. Page A-9 - Park Services: Relative to capital improvements in parks, where
in the Budget did it reflect an expenditure of $1,583,000 in park improvements
and for what parks?
Mr. Talley stated that the only question for which a specific answer would not
be provided in the Budget document was relative to inventory controls (9) be-
cause the objective was to automate that aspect and the figure given was felt
to be achievable.
151: HOME OCCUPATION PERMITS AND CHILD DAY CARE CENTERS: City Attorney Hopkins
briefed the Council on memorandum dated May 25, 1978, (on file in the City Clerk's
Office) recommending adoption of proposed revisions to Home Occupation and Day
Care Center Ordinances as outlined.
Councilman Kott offered Ordinance No. 3868 for first reading.

OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ZONING.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked for clarification relative to the new Code Section
that would be added (.043) limiting vehicular traffic to 3 vehicles or 6 pedes-
trians and .045 relating to outdoor storage or activity. She pointed out that
with reference to outdoor activity, there could be a conflict relative to home
nurseries.
Mr. Hopkins stated that on the former question, it would have to be a matter of
merely a "good faith" evaluation of the situation as to whether the vehicles and
pedestrians were friends or business-related. On the latter, he agreed that a
correction was necessary relative to outdoor activity in that "other than nurseries"
should be included as Councilwoman Kaywood suggested.
Mayor Seymour also questioned the 3 vehicles and 6 pedestrians that would be
allowed and stated there could be 6 people per vehicle, 18 per day, coming and
going which could evolve into the same problem as that experienced in a recent
zoning petition to allow tutoring. His concern was that particular portion of
the proposed Code Section was too flexible and could create a future problem.
Councilman Overholt expressed the same concern and maintained if the ordinance was
going to mean anything, some formula that was reasonable had to be developed.

Fullerton, first asked if the 6 pedestrians were exclusive of the members of
the household. Mr. Hopkins confirmed that the 6 persons would be those connected
with the home activity and not residents.
Ms. Glenn then asked in the case of a particular family day care situation, could
an A.M. child be replaced by a P.M. child if neither of the children were ever
at the residence concurrently and did not exceed the numbers allowed.
Mr. Hopkins stated it would appear that the number of children would be limited
by the figure given and a substitution of children could lead to abuse where there
could be a constant changing and thus the purpose defeated. If there were more
than 6 children, a conditional use permit would be required.
Ms. Glenn explained that she had a unique situation in one of the homes in Anaheim
where there was a mother who needed child care service 5 mornings a week, but not
in the afternoon, and another who had need of service in the afternoon only, but
the 2 children involved were never there together. She wanted clarification as
to whether or not the provider would be in violation if there was one child in
the morning which would make 6 and a different one which would stili make 6 in
the afternoon.
Mr. Hopkins stated if there were more than 6 children it would require a conditional
use permit. Ms. Glenn pointed out that a fee of $125 would be necessary for the
conditional use permit for just that one afternoon child.
Mayor Seymour then explained the recent problem which had occurred resulting in
the proposed ordinance amendment. He realized the dilemma with which Ms. Glenn
was faced and asked for input from her that would assist the City in what they
were trying to accomplish, while at the same time giving protection to providers.
MS. Glenn stated that the only problem she could see lay in the fact that there
were needs in the community for part-time service of the nature under discussion.
If a provider was limited to counting a 2-hour child a day as a full-time child,
a limit was then being placed on the amount of service that could be provided to
the community by imposing a CUP fee. It made it difficult for the provider to stay
within the law and not go "underground". She agreed to return in one week as
suggested by the Mayor and would give some thought to the matter.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated the reason the previous problem arose revolved around
the fact that the particular use was being conducted on a smali closed residential
street. If it had been an arterial or through street, in her opinion, it would
not have been a problem.
114: NO CITY COUNCIL MEETING - W~mK OF JULY 3~ 1978: Councilwoman Kaywood moved
that no Council meeting be held on Wednesday, July 5, 1978 (Tuesday, July 4, 1978,
observed as legal holiday). Councilman Roth seconded the motion.
78-6~ 5
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Seymour stated that he was opposed since all
public offices were open on July 5, 1978.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that the Charter stated the City should have
two meetings a month whereas the Council met every Tuesday. Since a holiday
fell on the usual meeting day, postponing the matter to the next week would
give an opportunity for staff to catch up, especially relative to Council
minutes.
After a brief discussion on the matter, a vote was taken on the foregoing motion.
Councilmen Seymour and Kott voted "No". MOTION CARRIED.
167: TRAFFIC SIGNAL ASSESSMENT FEES: (Discussion of Council Policy No. 214)
Councilman Kott stated that a number of complaints had been recieved relative
to the new traffic signal fee, thus he invited a number of concerned people to
the meeting to discuss the matter. He hoped that as an outcome, staff would be
directed to restudy the ordinance and come back with recommendations that would
either remove or mitigate the effects of the ordinance in areas where new con-
struction was occurring, but where there were already existing signals.
Mr. Dan Rowland, Dan L. Rowland and Associates, 1000 West La Palma, stated that
relative to the impact of the traffic signal assessment on the commercial element
of the private sector, the shear weight of numbers, like many policies and ordi-
nances that were drafted, were not readily ascertained until specific applications
were made. Two clients of his firm were making application for building permits
shortly--Anaheim Memorial Hospital, rebuilding existing facilities, and West
Anaheim Community, absorbing abandoned Garden Park Hospital. The impact in dollars
increased the building permit fee by $90,000 and that increase could only be re-
flected and absorbed in increased patient care cost. Both hospitals were in well
developed areas of the cormnunity where all intersections impacted by their activity
were presently signalized and paid for, in one instance as a construction cost item
by one of the hospitals. He maintained that the impact relative to West Anaheim
Community would be less because they were absorbing another hospital; the impact
from Anaheim Memorial Hospital would also be less because a better traffic pattern
would evolve, thus removing the impact from the corner intersection and placing it
on a minor street.
Mr. Rowland continued that the cost of traffic signal assessment was distressing
to commercial activities. A single-family home paid $36 as a one-time assessment;
an industrial building, $36 per 1,000 square feet, and a commercial building,
$363 per 1,000 square feet. It was a heavy cost for commerce to bear. He there-
upon suggested such assessments be evaluated. If a project was going to bring in
a tremendous traffic impact in a portion of the community that did not presently
have signals, the community's past commitment in having the developer pay his own
way might apply. However, when it was a matter of remodeling, adding to, or
refurbishing, the economic value of the project and the jobs created far outweighed
a potential traffic signal impact. He thereupon submitted a letter from Anaheim
Memorial Hospital as well as West Anaheim Community Hospital and urged the Council
to give relief relative to the very-difficult-to-finance traffic signal assessment.
78-696
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Dr. Richard Garabedian, 641 South Peralta Hills Drive, stated that approximately
two months prior, his property was condemned by the City to permit the widening
of Harbor Boulevard. Since that time, new plans had been drawn for another
office also on Harbor (Harbor at North) approximately 3 blocks to the north.
In so doing, he was informed that he had to pay $1,500 for another traffic
signal which was already in front of where his proposed office was going to be.
There was also a signal at the location he was leaving. He emphasized that it
was not a just assessment since (1) due to condemnation, he was forced to move
and (2) he was being assessed another fee and it would be a hardship. As well,
there would be no additional impact relative to traffic flow. He asked that
the fee be waived or the traffic signal law revised giving relief from such
assessments.
Mr. Doug Roberson, 2775 West Ball Road, stated that in his case, his was a
26-unit motel built next to Anaheim Stadium wherein the fee was $4,300. Consid-
ering the minor traffic flow from his property, he believed it would be difficult
to tell any difference with that of the Stadium.
Mr. Earl Garth, 1650 South Harbor, stated he recently applied for an addition of
262 square feet to his motel wherein there was a $43 building fee and $363 for
the new traffic signal assessment. He pointed out that there were many traffic
signals on Harbor Boulevard and his was just a minor addition, yet he was paying
the same amount as though adding 1,000 square feet. He believed that a pro-ration
formula should be devised per square foot under 1,000 square feet.
Mr. Earl Nellesen, (Earl's Plumbing) 1232 Westmont Drive, stated that he was a
native of Anaheim and had seen it grow into a large city. There was still a
great deal of land that needed to be filled with the right businesses. He main-
tained, however, that businesses and jobs would be lost by the imposition of
such assessments.
Mr. Hank Wesslin, 9382 Thistle, stated he was building a 37-unit motel at
2255 Lincoln Avenue, and to his surpise a $5,800 fee had been added when he
went to get his building permit. He was concerned as to how the fee would be
paid.
Mr. Ralph Boethling, Redondo Beach, employed by the Disneyland Hotel, spoke in
opposition to the new ordinance and suggested that the City Manager study it to
ascertain what could be done to change the funding of traffic signals. He further
stated that it was in the public's best interest to stimulate the capital investment
in Anaheim, but he believed the assessment of the tax on traffic signals to be
counter-productive. From his standpoint, the only way the cost of such fees could
be recovered would be to increase room fees which would have the potential possibility
of reducing the competitive effect the tourism industry had in'Anaheim as opposed
to San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities with whom Disneyland Hotel competed
for conventions and tourism. In areas already adequately signalized, such as
Disneyland, relief should be given from the tax. He reiterated that a restudy
of the matter be undertaken.
Mr. Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, stated that the traffic signal assessment fund
was one of the results of the studies undertaken by the Capital Improvement Committee.
At that time, staff presented a long-range plan for traffic signals throughout the
City in order to ascertain methods of financing. One possibility was the Map Act
78-697
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6, 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
permitting assessment through map recordation. Trip generation by uses was
also considered and these were boiled down into three categories for the sake
of simplicity--residential, commercial, industrial. Based directly on traffic
generation, they came up with fees in accordance with capital improvement needs
necessary over the next 10 years. They took the fixed number of $6.5 million
needed to maintain the system and subsequently took the number of new projected
buildings planned to be constructed, put these two together, and took 75 percent
of that as the basis. An extensive study was conducted and many hours spent with
the CIC, as well as considering what other cities were doing. Orange County cities
had instituted similar fees either through building permits, tract maps or acreages.
Anaheim had made considerable progress in collecting fees to the point where it
was able to catch up to where it had been lagging in not only construction of
new signals, but also traffic signal modification. Presently there was a list
with 23 items on it covering long-range improvements ranging in cost from $100,000
to $500,000--$600,000 per item. Relative to the signal at Harbor and North Street,
it was not interconnected, but a free running fixed timer which had been in opera-
tion for at least 25 years and that machine and system had to be improved. Traffic
problems were growing and the streets were not capable of processing traffic safely
and efficiently without signal modification, and that was where the money was
going to be spent.
Councilwoman Kaywood did not believe that businesses would go elsewhere considering
the benefits of being located in Anaheim. She was at a loss to know where the
funds needed would come from if the new assessments were cut or changed at this
point.
Mayor Seymour believed that it was necessary to consider a refinement of the
present formula to more equitably distribute the cost of signalization. There
were situations where (1) a waiver system was necessary enabling further consid-
eration of certain cases and (2) study be given to an amendment of the ordinance
so that the commercial sector was not receiving such a large "bite".
MOTION: Councilman Kott stated he could understand staff's concern relative to
the traffic signal fund, but as pointed out, inequities existed and thus a more
equitable solution should be sought. He did not believe it was in the best interest
of the City to allow the taxation to be placed on business, particularly where
traffic signals already existed and/or the entity did not contribute to the traffic
burden. Councilman Kott thereupon moved that staff be directed to restudy the
policy and submit recommendations to the Council in three weeks. Within this
period, any person pulling building permits who felt that a waiver was justified
would be placed on the Council agenda to ask for relief with case to be decided
individually. Councilman Seymour seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated she was certain a great number
of people had already paid fees under the new assessment policy and questioned what
their position might be.
Councilman Seymour stated that he was one of those people and he did not expect
a rebate of any kind. He maintained that the City had to hold fast to decisions
made in the past and those people who paid fees previously would have to live with
the situation. However, if the City had an ordinance that was negative and driving
business away, it was necessary to come to grips with it.
78-698
C, ity Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES, -,June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Roth agreed with the Mayor and maintained that considering the
testimony given, the ordinance needed to be reevaluated.
Councilman Overholt stated he supported the motion, but disagreed philosophically
that it made any difference as to the degree of the development of the traffic
control system in the particular area of development. The concept of the ordinance
had to do with raising the monies to develop a traffic control system throughout
the entire City. He supported the motion because it was obvious from the testimony
given that the ordinance was unfair.
Council discussion followed at the conclusion of which a vote was taken on the
foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Before concluding, Mr. Singer emphasized for informational purposes that the City
was using perhaps the least expensive control mechanism and they were not "gold
gilding" the City's traffic signals. As well, the City would probably not need
a computerized system because the signals were self-sufficient in their operation.
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - REMOVAL OF SPECIMEN TREES: Application by Frederick M.
Culmann, requesting removal of 18 specimen trees on property located at 244 South
Owens Drive.
The City Planning Commission declared that the subject project be exempt from the
requirement to prepare an environmental impact report pursuant to the proviSions
of the California Environmental Quality Act since there would be no significant
individual or cumulative adverse environmental impact due to.this proposal, and
further approved removal of the specimen trees.
A review of the decision of the Planning Commission was requested by Councilman
Kott, and public hearing scheduled May 30, 1978, and continued to this date.
Mrs. Lourdes Ratanavaraha, 244 South Owens, stated that she and her husband were
the property owners and they were requesting permission and approval to remove
some specimen trees on their property. They bought the property because they
were attracted by the number of trees it contained. However, in order to be able
to build their house, driveway and pool, some of the trees needed to be removed.
As well, there were trees they considered unsafe and dangerous due to their con-
dition. She then posted a site plan of the property for further clarification.
Mr. Phil JouJon-Roche, 21517 Mohler Place, stated that he and the applicant dis-
cussed the matter between themselves earlier in the meeting. He was not opposed
to the house, but with the 3 or 4 trees to the rear of the property that would
have to be removed. They jointly agreed that those trees could be saved by jogging
the retaining wall one way or the other, but some arrangement Would have to be
worked out with their neighbors. At present, the wall was going right through the
center line of the trees. He also maintained that the trees were sufficiently far
away from the other improvements on the property so that they could remain without
jeopardy. Mr. Joujon-Rouche posted another map similar to the applicant's which
had been marked by the developer at the Planning Commission hearing showing the
trees to be removed in red. He reiterated that the 3 trees to the rear of the
property on the property line could be saved.
78-699
City Hall~ Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour asked Mrs. Ratanavaraha if she would or could agree to save the
3 trees in question. Mrs. Ratanavaraha answered affirmatively and further
stated that she had no objections to the request because they wanted to save
as many trees as they could.
Councilman Roth noted that the attendant documentation indicated that no one
was in opposition at the Planning Commission hearing. He preferred that such
matters be resolved beforehand and believed it imperative that interested people
such as Mr. Joujon-Rouche give input to HACMAC and the Planning Commission so as
to avoid time, money and effort necessary to set matters for a public hearing.
There being no further persons who wished to speak either in favor or in opposition,
the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Miss Santalahti stated her understanding of the proposed action to be that the
4 trees (not 3 as stated) at the northeast corner of the property as shown in
the plan would be retained.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Kott, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council finds that this project
would have no significant individual or cumlative adverse environmental impact
and is, therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Kott moved to approve the removal of specimen trees as requested with
the exception of the 4 trees on the northeasterly portion of the property as
stipulated. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Before concluding, Mr. Joujon-Rouche stated that prior to the hearing and request
for action, there had been evidence of tree removal and he had photos of trees
that had been cut on the property. That was true not only on the lot in question,
but also generally on several lots up hill on the Owens property. Someone was
prematurely cutting in preparation for building. He did not have evidence that
the present owners cut the trees, but they could have been cut before. It was
apparent that there had been cutting of specimen trees without any permits, a
hearing or whatever was necessary. It was further apparent that the cutting was
not being done by amateurs; tree services had been seen cutting the trees and
stumps were being removed with fairly heavy equipment.
Mayor Seymour asked staff, considering the alleged violation of the tree ordinance
in the area, how the ordinance might be enforced.
Miss Santalahti explained that when such allegations occurred, they tried to
verify their accuracy, but the most that could be done if someone was in the
process of removing trees was to get them to file a tree removal'plan. If the
tree was down, however, there was nothing.that could be done to restore it al-
though they issue a citation and take those responsible to court. Presently,
there was no fine involved and no way to force replacement of the trees.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that a review of the ordinance would be advisable
including the addition of penalties for violation. He would study the matter and
make recommendations accordingly.
78-~00
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that such tree removal was a dreadful problem and
relayed a case on which she received a call wherein trees were standing when
the woman left her home in the morning and when she returned, the trees were
gone.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Kott, the City Attorney
was directed to make the tree ordinance more formidable relative to penalties
for its violation. MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1831: Application by Lloyd E. Klein,
to permit commercial uses and a restaurant on proposed ML zoned property located
on the south side of La Palma Avenue, between White Star and Armando Street with
code waiver of minimum number of parking spaces.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC78-101 declared that
the subject project be exempt from the requirement to prepare an environmental
impact report pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act since there would be no significant individual or cumulative adverse environ-
mental impact due to this project, and further denied Conditional Use Permit No.
1831.
The action of the Planning Commission was appealed by the Agent for the applicant,
and public hearing scheduled this date.
Miss Santalahti described the location and surrounding land uses. She outlined
the findings given in the staff report which was submitted to and considered by
the City Planning Commission.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or applicant's agent was present and desirous
of being heard.
Mr. Richard Broadway, Director of Projects, Income Property Services (IPS),
Agent for the applicant, stated that after reviewing the history of the other
developments mentioned by Miss Santalahti, they performed studies, marketing
surveys, etc. and believed what they proposed, an industrial park with quasi,
but industrial related uses on lots 2 and 7, would result in an inter-related
type of business park. In working with the City Planning staff and in meeting
with the Redevelopment Agency staff over the past several months, they believed
they had satisfied staff's desires and worked out some of the problems they felt
existed. He considered it safe to say that staff was comfortable with the plan
they proposed.
Mr. Broadway then described the physical characteristics of the buildings which
IPS would not only develop and construct, but also manage in the years to come
just as they did with their multiple-family developments. They had taken consid-
erable time and effort in the planning stage and assembled an excellent team of
consultants which he named to develop the property.
Mr. Broadway then introduced Mr~ Ray Olmsheid, Coldwell Banker, 4040 McArthur
Boulevard, Newport Beach, who stated that they had been working with IPS for
6 months on the development wherein they had performed market research, surveys
78-701
Ci..ty Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978, 1:30 P.M.
and studies within Anaheim to determine the highest and best use for the subject
property. Parcels 2 and 7 proposed for commercial development (permitted in an
ML zone subject to a conditional use permit) connoted retail business such as
men's shops, etc., found in shopping centers. Mr. Olmsheid emphasized that that
was not what they were proposing, but instead a commercial project to service
households mostly in the Anaheim area and up and down the Riverside Corridor.
The furniture manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, seller, was a unique person
in that a large space was needed for big ticket items such as sofas, chairs,
dining room sets and the like, but the dealer was unable to afford the high
commercial rates of a commercial shopping center. In order to accommodate the
public and to keep selling prices down, these people who did some manufacturing
in their facilities, as well as 50 to 60 percent warehousing, also sold out of
these facilities. Staff indicated 34 percent of the project was devoted to
commercial. Out of that commercial, excluding the restaurant, over 50 percent
was in warehousing, assembly, packaging and the like.
Mr. Olmsheid continued that one of the problems facing the City of Anaheim was
relative to the project's impact on parking. They had done extensive study on
the matter, a copy of which was distributed to the Council, wherein they paid
particular attention to 2 new developments--the Laguna Hills Commerce Center
and the Fountain Valley Industrial Park approximately 15 miles apart off the
San Diego Freeway. They personally interviewed 23 tenants located in an average
size space of about 15,000 square feet, all furniture related. They too would
only accommodate furniture related uses on the lots in question. He then elaborated
upon some of the results of the study: most large ticket item purchases were
husband and wife decisions made in the evening when traffic counts were down and
on weekends when there was very little traffic in industrial parks. In the small-
er shops of 15,000 square feet, the average employee load was approximately 7
employees. Thus, the ratio of required parking was only about 1 space per 1,000
square feet and much of the space was never used. He then submitted photographs
of the 2 centers taken on Saturdays and some during the week when the traffic
was heaviest. They also performed a car count at the Laguna project (250,000
square feet) and only 26 vehicles were parked in the lot at 10:00 a.m. on a
Saturday.
Relative to the proposed project, Lot 2 which was perhaps the most controversial,
contained a number of 5,000-square foot units and what they hoped to attract in
that location were home-service type tenants as well as some industrial-commercial
uses, nuts and bolts to garden supplies, wholesale supply and things of that
nature. The parking required in that type of unit was less than 1 per 1,000 square
feet. Of the 2 projects mentioned, at Laguna Hills the parking ratio approved was
2.6 per 1,000 square feet and in Fountain Valley 2 per 1,000 square feet. They
were projecting 3.4 per 1,000 or approximately 82 parking stalls over the required
minimum.
Councilman Roth commented that the Council had heard several times from commercial
realtors such as Mr. Olmsheid relative to the problem of the invasion of commercial
use into industrial areas with emphasis on maintaining the industrial integrity of
an area. He wanted to know Mr. Olmsheid's response and whether or not he felt there
was a problem in that regard.
78-702
City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- June 6; 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Olmsheid responded by questioning the definition of industrial use and
how it was distinguished. To his way of thinking, it might be a furniture
manufacturer or assembler and in most industrial areas in Orange County and
even Los Angeles where enough parking was available, wholesaling and some
retailing was being conducted out of facilities such as those under discussion.
He did not believe such uses affected the integrity of the industrial areas and
noted some instances where service oriented facilities were placed within the
industrial park itself to service the community therein and it was found after
a few years that was the most efficient way of putting together an industrial
project.
Discussion followed relative to Councilwoman Kaywood's question regarding the
number of employees that would be involved in the proposed uses wherein Mr.
Olmsheid again stated that approximately 7 employees would be involved in 15,000
square feet compared to approximately 25 in pure industrial use.
In answer to Councilwoman Kaywood's comment about the large sign displayed in one
of the facilities in the photo of the Fountain Valley project, Mr. Olmsheid
stated that was a sofa factory and he believed it to be the worst use of an
industrial facility on a freeway site in Orange County. The reason the photograph
was included was to demonstrate the point that no signing would be placed on the
windows of the proposed project; it would not be allowed. Their CC&Rs would be
very tight and they would pass with the land if that eventually occurred. With
good controls, there would be no problem relative to outdoor displays and Similar
matters.
Councilwoman Kaywood was concerned that if the uses were going to be open to the
public, they would be attracting heavy retail commercial uses. She recounted the
situation wherein Wickes Furniture on North Magnolia came into an industrial
area and indicated there was going to be only light retail use. That not
being the case, she emphasized that a very fine parcel of industrial property with
a railroad spur was destroyed. Thus, she had a problem with the proposed project.
Mayor Seymour stated that he had met with Mr. Broadway to discuss the project
some weeks before and one of the concerns he (Seymour) expressed was relative to
the fact that the Fountain Valley and Laguna Hills projects catered to "furniture
type businesses". Although he heard the applicants say they were going to be
catering to home-oriented type businesses, on the other hand in looking at the
list submitted containing 66 uses, most were not home oriented. He had no doubt
that IPS was a high quality developer with an excellent record; however, the use
was clear in the other two projects, but the list of potential uses in the pro-
posed project would result in a development offering all types and varieties of
commercial uses.
Mr. Olmsheid explained that Lot 7 would be strictly furniture (7 a & b) and Lot
2 on La Palma was the area where some of the uses that were listed of wholesale
type people would be located. On the first list, the majority of the uses were
all related to homes. The other was merely a "laundry" or working list which
the Council should not have received.
For confirmation, Mayor Seymour asked if what Mr. Olmsheid was saying on behalf
of the applicant was, if approved, they would be willing to limit uses as expressed
in the staff report; Mr. Olmsheid confirmed that uses would be limited to those
listed in the report.
78-703
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood acknowledged Mrs. Carrie Kirkendahl in the audience who was
opposed to the project at the Planning Commission meeting. Mrs. Kirkendahl stated
that she was opposed to the lack of parking spaces to which she spoke at the hear-
ing. She was not now opposed to the project.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
Mayor Seymour expressed his concern over the fact that the list of uses was loosely
drawn. For Parcel 2, commercial uses listed were patio furniture, art gallery,
plants, baby furniture, etc. For Parcel 7, sofas, furniture, antiques, etc. That
type of a list could only cause future problems and arguments with the Planning
Department if challenged, whereas in the past, very specific lists of types of uses
were created. Miss Santalahti confirmed that such specific lists were generally
the rule although longer than that as articulated by the Mayor and listed in the
staff report.
Discussion then followed between the Council and applicant relative to specific
uses and the confusion evolving from the lists submitted. Mr. Broadway stated
that the uses listed in the staff report were taken off the site plan, but the
list he submitted to the Council with 65 uses was the list of suggested'uses for
Lot 2. He could not be definitive on Lot 7. He did stipulate however at the
request of Councilman Kott that selling of stereos or TVs would not be' one of
the uses.
MOTION: At the conclusion of discussion, Mayor Seymour stated~that he sensed the
Council wanted to approve the applicant's request, however, he reiterated the con-
fusion relative to the lists submitted. He thereupon moved that the matter be
continued one week during which time the applicant could compile a list of specific
uses for the lots in question and submit that list to staff for subsequent Council
review. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
RECESS: By general consent, the City Council recessed for 10 minutes. (5:00 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members being
present. (5:10 P.M.)

may grant.
8. That Condition Nos. 3 and 6, above-mentioned, shall be complied with
prior to final building and zoning inspections.
The action of the Planning Commission relating to Conditions of approval was
appealed by the applicant, and public hearing scheduled this date.
Miss Santalahti described the location and surrounding land uses. She outlined
the findings given in the staff report which was submitted to and Considered by
the City Planning Commission.
Before further discussion, Mayor Seymour asked for an opinion by the City Attorney
as to whether or not he should abstain from discussion and voting since he was a
member of the Garden Grove Community Church.
78-7C5
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that although the Mayor perhaps did not have any
financial interest in the matter, from an ethical standpoint, it might be prudent
to abstain.
Mayor Seymour stated he would abstain and he thereupon left the Council Chamber
after turning the meeting over to Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood. (5:12 P.M.)
Councilman Roth referred to a letter dated May 11, 1978, from Caltrans responding
to a letter of the Garden Grove Community Church dated May 3, 1978, and asked
Miss Santalahti if she had seen the correspondence. Miss Santalahti stated she
had not seen the letter.
Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood asked if the applicant or applicant's agent was present
and desirous of being heard.
Mr. Carl C. Wallace, Director--Planned Giving, Garden Grove Community Church,
stated that several months prior they purchased 3.96 acres of land on the corner
of Lewis and Orangewood for the purpose of developing it for ministerial uses.
For some time, they were desirous of having a cemetery for use of the Church,
Church membership and those interested in the Church, thus it was decided that
the property be developed into a cemetery. They acquired the plot plan'drawings
from the engineers and presented them to the Planning Commission where, for the
first time in reading the staff report, they were made aware of the fact that a
reservation of a 92-foot easement would be required from the centerline of
Orangewood Avenue and into their property which he pointed to from the displayed
map. The easement would represent approximately 50 feet or one-half acre of usage
of their property which had never been dedicated, but was proposed as a future
portion of an overcrossing of the Santa Ana Freeway. Such a revelation was
distressing to them in view of the fact that the property was expensive. After
the Planning Commission hearing, Mr. Wallace assumed from what he heard that a
Caltrans project was involved and left the meeting not with the idea of an ob-
structionist, but instead to go to Caltrans to ascertain the status with the
possibility that the item might have been put in their dead file as far as any
future plans were concerned. He had several discussions with people at Caltrans
which resulted in their response of May 11, 1978, Item 1 of which indicated that
the possibility of an overcrossing in the subject location had been in the planning
stage for 13 years and the condition (No. 5) placed upon their request for a condi-
tional use permit ~dded another 8 years relative to the reservation of the easement.
He was thus before the Council to obtain a determination from the City of Anaheim
on the matter since Caltrans indicated in Item 3 of their letter that it was the
City's responsibility to provide for the overcrossing.
Councilman Roth asked staff to respond to the letter submitted by Caltrans.
Mr. James Maddox, City Engineer, stated that the letter was essentially correct.
The purpose of the request to reserve the 92-foot width was to be able to build
the Orangewood overcrossing some time in the future. In 1966, the City purchased
approximately 4 acres on the east side of the freeway on the north side of Orange-
wood for that purpose. At that time, it was believed that the overcrossing would
become a reality in the near future, but since that time funding from Caltrans had
been irratic and the project was on and off their program. He felt the overcrossing
of the freeway still to be highly desirable in order to improve the access to the
78-706
C.ity Hail, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 197.8~ 1:30 P.M.
Stadium and east and west general traffic. The City was intending if plans
proceeded for the overcrossing to buy the property at a later date. Mr. Maddox
was merely asking that it be reserved from use for a period of 8 years.
Councilman Roth was concerned that restrictions were being put on the property
without due compensation and there were two alternatives under which to proceed:
(1) condemn the property and buy it or, (2) approve Conditional Use Permit No.
1825 deleting Condition No. 5 requiring the reservation of the easement with a
subsequent letter to Caltrans requesting immediate action. He reiterated to
continue the situation as it now stood, was tantamount to condemning the property.
Mr. Maddox stated that he did not know the applicant's plan of use, whether they
intended to use the whole area or whether they were going to start at the north
and work to the south or vice versa. He was asking that they start at the south
and work to the north. He conceded however that as Councilman Roth pointed out
they were restricting the use of the property by the owners for 8 years without
compensation.
Mr. Wallace explained for Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood that although it was conjecture,
it would be 2 years before initiating development of the property on the north
section if they began development on the southerly portion first. He also con-
firmed that the seller who sold the property to the Church did not know about
the situation relative to the potentiality of the overcrossing.
Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood expressed her concern that if graves were placed on the
site, there would be no possibility for the City to ever go through with the
project.
In answer to Councilman Overholt, Mr. Wallace stated that at this time he did not
know how they would proceed to develop the balance of the property if the Council
did not remove Condition No. 5 although they had discussed the possibility. He
pointed out that in relation to the property, approximately 700 grave sites would
be involved and, using a figure of from $400 to $600 each, they were talking about
$400,000 worth of property. In answer to further Council questions, Mr. Wallace
confirmed that they owned the property since March 24, 1976 and that the property
was not tax exempt at this time because it was directly useable by the Church.
There being no further persons who wished to speak either in favor or in opposition,
the Mayor Pro Tem closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman Roth,
seconded by Councilman Kott, the City Council finds that this project will have no
significant individual cumulative adverse environmental impact and is, therefore,
exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR. Councilman Seymour was temporarily
absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 78R-365 for adoption granting Conditional
Use Permit No. 1825, upholding the action of the City Planning Commission, in
part, deleting Condition No. 5 eliminating the reservation of an easement for the
Orangewood overcrossing.

City H.a..1.1, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6, 1978, 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Seymour entered the Council Chamber. (5:35 P.M.)
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood posed several questions to Mr.
Wallace for purposes of clarification. She also pointed out that if the City
proceeded with the overcrossing and acquired the land, the applicant would be
reimbursed. Mr. Wallace explained that their concern was the environmental
impact of telling people when they purchased a site that there would be a
possibility of a freeway overcrossing instead of a beautiful lawn area.
Mayor Pro Tem Kaywood emphasized that if the City relinquished the land, there
would never be the possibility of constructing the overcrossing which she believed
was vital to the City.
Councilman Overholt asked if there was another way of constructing the overcrossing
in the general vicinity without utilizing the property in question.
Mr. Maddox explained that was the only location, but there were alternatives to
construction, one being an entirely supportive overcrossing on columns such as
a viaduct. Although the cost would be considerably higher, it would require less
right-of-way thus it would not doom the project completely.
Councilman Kott stated he was going to support Councilman Roth's resolution
because of the property right question.
A vote was taken on the foregoing Resolution. Refer to Resolution Book.

Councilwoman Kaywood noted in a letter dated June 25, 1978, requesting the
rehearing that the rehearing request would not address an access on Santa Ana
Canyon Road and as she recalled, that was the only problem.
Dr. Robert Grosse, stated that as far as a veterinary hospital was concerned,
that never had been an issue, and it was only broached at the request of the
Planning Commission and HACMAC. He confirmed for Mayor Seymour that he was
now saying they would be back for the public hearing without requesting any
ingress or egress from Santa Ana Canyon Road.

speak to the matter, but had to leave the meeting. Councilman Seymour
seconded the motion. Councilman Roth was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Talley stated that since the information was requested by the Council in
order to provide input before the Congress of Cities meeting on Thursday,
June 8, 1978, he asked if the Council wished to consider any position to be
taken at that meeting. There being no response, Mayor Seymour stated that the
Council took no position.
169: REPORT ON TRADITIONAIRE LUMINAIRE LIGHTING: Councilman Kott stated that he
understood that problems had been encountered in the past relative to maintenance
of the lights which were approved by Anaheim Hills and others. He preferred to
have approval by City staff because Anaheim was the agency who had to maintain
the lights, thus he did not wish others to be in a position to approve or disapprove
the lighting.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Overholt, discussion of
the report on Traditionaire Luminaire lighting was continued to July 25, 1978,
as requested by staff. Councilman Roth was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
175: REPORT ON DIEMER INTERTIE: (continued from May 16, 1978) Councilman Kott
referred to a report dated June 1, 1978, from the Utilities Director which he
(Kott) requested, and questioned a statement on Page 2 stating that the Santiago
Lateral was not given serious consideration since it involved utilizing untreated
water. He maintained according to Page 1 of the report, it was not given any
consideration and the report further stated that there would be a required cost
of approximately $6 million for the construction of the ~reatment plant to purify
the untreated water. His sources of information informed him that the Lenain
Filtration Plant cost $.5 million. He thus questioned why the filtration plant
would cost 12 times that of the Lenain plant.
Mr. Ray Auerbach, Water Superintendent, explained that on Page 1, the report did
not actually say that they did not consider water from the Santiago Lateral. When
they considered expanding their filtration plant, Alternate No. 3, that water came
from the Santiago Lateral and the lower feeder. Relative to cost which had been
studied, they contacted several engineering firms and in some of the reports pre-
pared by them they indicated cost of a treatment plant was different from the
water utilities present plant because it did not have coagulation-sedimentation
facilities. The present plant filtered only raw Colorado River water, and it was
a State Health Department requirement if there was a blend of State water, plus
Colorado River water, the City would have to provide the full treatment. The
cost figures were based on that requirement. The Metropolitan-Water District
(MWD) had indicated that at some time in the future they would supply a blend
of Colorado River and the State Project water into the lower feeder and then into
the Santiago Lateral. The cost of a full treatment plant was almost twice that
of a filtration plant and, as well, construction costs had risen 3 to 4 times in
the past 12 years.
78-7]1
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Auerbach then relayed the following in answer to questions by Councilman
Kott: (1) the new plant would be 1.5 times the size of the Lenain Plant pro-
viding 30 cfs of water as compared to 20 cfs. The Lenain Plant had a peaking
capacity of 22 cfs.
(2) Although the Lenain Plant was designed to be expandable, the Public Utilities
Board considered that option, but the cost proved to be higher than the cost of
participation in the Diemer Intertie. As well, there would be no backup source
of water.
(3) The water elevation in the Santiago Lateral would be higher than that of the
Diemer Intertie if a new plant was built. The Diemer had a higher gradient and
would require less energy than the expansion of the Lenain Plant.
(4) He confirmed water was now being treated at Lenain from the Santiago Lateral.
Relative to the last question, Councilman Kott pointed out that when Mr. Auerbach
was before the Council for approval of the Diemer Intertie, he (Kott) asked what
other sources were available and the Santiago Lateral was not mentioned. The
Council was told that there was a pipe at Imperial Highway and Santa Ana Canyon
Road that was being repaired and the Diemer Intertie would be necessary. Now
there was another source, and further, he was not convinced that a new plant,
if necessary, would cost $6 million.
Mr. Auerbach reiterated that the $6 million was based upon research and the
consulting engineers and others in the business estimated a "ballpark" figure
of $200,000 per cfs. They were talking about a cost of $3 million of the Diemer
Intertie and a rough cost of $6 million for a new treatment plant which he did
not believe would ever be less than $3 million. The $6 million represented
construction costs only and did not even consider other costs such as land,
engineering and many other considerations which were added to the $3 million
for the Diemer Intertie.
Mayor Seymour asked what was planned for the Lenain Treatment Plant when the MWD
started to offer a mix of water?
Mr. Auerbach believed that blend would take place well into the future, at least
a minimum of 5 years. He explained there were several filtration plants on the
Santiago Lateral at present. The cost to provide pretreatment, coagulation-
sedimentation, would be approximately $1 million just to add that function to an
existing plant. Thus, for each of the agencies to do so would require a great
deal of time and a method of funding. Therefore, he did not believe the MWD would
seriously consider the blend for the near future, and they might decide to build
a regional plant themselves.
Mayor Seymour stated that one of the justifications for not considering the con-
struction of a new filtration plant at a much reduced cost was due to the fact
that MWD was going to offer a mix of water and the City would have to accept that
mix. This would require Anaheim to build not a filtration plant, but a treatment
plant at a cost of $6 million. Now Mr. Auerbach was saying (1) it would be quite
some time before the blend occurred and (2) there was a possibility because such
action would create a burden on Anaheim and other agencies involved, that a regional
78-712
City Hall, Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
plant would be built with everybody sharing in that facility. Therefore, getting
back to the point made by Councilman Kott, why was it not possible to build another
treatment plant utilizing the other feeder line?
Mr. Auerbach stated that in the staff report they did consider merely expanding
the Lenain Plant without pretreatment which was left open as an option. He
then relayed the following cost figures as requested by the Mayor (see Page IV-4
of report dated August, 1977--"Additional Water Source for Santa Ana Canyon Area
Study", on file in the City Clerk's Office): Alternate 1--Diemer Intertie Project,
$4,374,000; Alternate 2--Santa Ana Canyon Road Transmission Main, $5,703,000;
Alternate 3--expand filtration plant and add pretreatment, $6,455,000; Alternate
3a--expand filtration plant, $4,544,000.
Mr. Auerbach noted that at the time the economic study was made, it considered
1977 dollars.
Councilman Seymour asked if the Lenain Plant was built at a cost of $.5 million
why it now would cost approximately 9 times as much to merely expand the plant?
Mr. Auerbach explained that many other things entered into the total cost of the
project and $1.3 million was for the plant expansion itself. That would not pro-
vide all the capacity needed and they would still require a smaller~capacity in
the Diemer Intertie of 6 cfs. The feeder mentioned provided the raw water, but
the finished product came out of the plant and that plant was only capable of
being expanded a certain amount. It would actually be a duplicate plant as
suggested by the Mayor. Mr. Auerbach explained further that they needed a capa-
city of 30 cfs which could not be obtained by expanding the plant because it
could not be expanded to that capacity. Ail of the piping and controls built from
the Walnut Canyon Reservoir into the plant were only capable of a total capacity
of 44 cfs. A duplicate could be built with all new pipes, but the original
piping would have to be replaced making the cost much greater. They were trying
to compare the 2 alternatives, the Diemer Intertie providing 30 cfs, and expanding
Lenain to 30 cfs. The alternatives relative to cost came out to within a couple
of hundred thousand dollars of each other. Relative to building a new treatment
plant and tying into it as suggested by the Mayor, Mr. Auerbach stated that as
an alternative it would not be sufficient to provide the amount of water that the
study revealed would be necessary for the Canyon area.
Mayor Seymour believed the cost may have even been closer or gone the other way
if the recommendation included Diemer in that one alternative and instead included
the already existing feeder that Councilman Kott and Mr. Lenain referred to.
Mr. Auerbach answered that it was included and the Santiago Lateral was the source
of water for the reservoir which was also the source of water for the filtration
plant. They assumed that they could get an unlimited amount of water out of the
Santiago Lateral and then build a filtration plant as large as possible to provide
another 22 cfs; however, another 6 cfs would be needed out of the Diemer Intertie.
Further discussion and questioning followed between the Council and Mr. Auerbach
at the conclusion of which Mr. Auerbach reiterated that for $3 million the Diemer
Intertie would provide a complete package, construction costs, engineering, land,
etc. compared to roughly $6 million for the treatment plant alone. He believed the
78-713
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Diemer Intertie to be an excellent project for the City. Further, he stated
that relative to the discussion today, different lines and theories were being
discussed which were difficult to explain. He believed that Mr. Lenain in his
previous Council appearance was speaking about the lower feeder which was 1 mile
north of the Santa Ana River in an area that did not even cross Anaheim where
the cost of the transmission line alone to carry water across the river would
be approximately $.5 million. He again referred to the August 1977 report which
explained such aspects in detail.
Councilman Kott stated that he was not convinced that the Council had made a
correct decision in accepting the Diemer Intertie and it was his opinion that
the information provided was incomplete. He suggested it would be worthwhile
to obtain the whole picture by asking Mr. Lenain to appear before the Council.
Different information was provided him by Mr. Lenain and he did not accept the
report submitted by staff.
Mayor Seymour stated he would be happy to hear from Mr. Lenain since the matter
involved a very large financial decision, and it was his opinion that relative
to alternatives, serious consideration was not given by the Public Utilities
Board or the Council.
Councilwoman Kaywood recalled that the contract relative to the Diemer Intertie
was already signed; the Mayor stated that if in listening to Mr. Lenain it was
concluded that the City could get by with an expenditure of $2 million or $3
million rather than a $4.374 million investment, he would find a way to get
out of the contract.
Mr. Auerbach noted that the comparison would be between $4.374 million (Diemer
Intertie Project) and $4.544 million (expansion of filtration plant).
After polling the Council (Councilman Roth was absent) and hearing no objection,
the Mayor asked the City Manager to invite Mr. Lenain to speak to the subject
matter in two weeks.
The Mayor also asked Mr. Auerbach to recopy for the Council the last report on
which they based their decision approving the Diemer Intertie as well as any
other additional information.
144: REQUEST FOR REPRESENTATION ON THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE OF THE ORANGE
COUNTY SENIOR CITIZENS COUNCIL: (continued from the meetings of May 23 and 30,

by the Transportation Committee of the Orange County Senior Citizens Council for
City representation on their committee was continued one week. Councilman Roth
was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
DISCUSSION - CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL IN CONNECTION WITH RECLASSIFICATION NO.
77-78-23: Request by Mr. Jack Tarr, Diversified Investment Company, to discuss
conditions of approval in connection with Reclassification No. 77-78-23 on
property located at the southeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and Gilbert Street.
78-714
.City Hall~ Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Jack Tarr, Diversified Investment Company, 1000 Quail Street, Suite 190,
Newport Beach, stated that the issue at hand was one of fairness, equity and
reasonableness relative to the subject and further they had a suggested alter-
nate that would accommodate that doctrine and as well, prove to be a better
solution to the problem. They had been ready to commence construction of their
project since 1974 and they never tried to circumvent the existing drainage
problem which was the point of contention. Mr. Tarr then elaborated upon the
subject from 2 posted maps (one prepared by the City Engineer and one which
they prepared) depicting approximately 38 acres which included surrounding
property indicated by colored zones used to accentuate the drainage situation.
Of the 38 acres, their property (shown in green) consisted of approximately
7 acres and the balance was owned by Gemco and the Basin Street Apartment
complex (shown in red). The Gemco/Basin Street property drained to the south-
west through a hole in the wall behind Gemco down to the south with a bigger
bulk proceeding through Transit Avenue (shown in yellow). When their development
was approved in November 1977, certain conditions had to be met relative to the
zoning reclassification, one of those being an engineering condition stating that
drainage facilities had to be suitable to the City Engineer. Mr. Tarr emphasized
that at no time was there any request for them to install or share in the install-
ation of a 36-inch storm drain to interconnect with Broadway of approximately
70 lineal feet. In their interpretation, the condition was an unusual one and
they felt that their project, while adding to the drainage problem of the property,
did not warrant their paying for the entire storm drain down to Broadway. They
agreed they should pay their fair share, however, but they also felt that the
36-inch storm drain would not alleviate the real problem and be of benefit to
those in the area.
Mr. Tart stated that they met with the City numerous times over the past four
weeks, but it appeared there was an inflexible status and that was the reason
for coming to the Council. He pointed to the area they believed should be
attacked relative to the problem of drainage (southwest of Gemco in the area
of Transit Avenue) and recommended that an easement be obtained by the City
across the Cornelia Connelly School lot thus alleviating drainage on the
acreage involved. They maintained that was the fair alternative. As well,
since they were not causing the whole drainage problem, they did not feel
they would be legally liable for any damage which would occur as a result
since the cause would be from other entities than merely their extra runoff
into the system. Mr. Tarr pointed to two areas from the map where in one
instance, they estimated the cost of drainage would be $50,000 to $55,000
and another at $70,000 to $90,000. According to the percentages they used,
18 percent would represent their 7 acres of the total 38. If 80 percent of
the higher limit were taken, that would be approximately $16,200. It was
their suggestion therefore to take that percentage and give it to the City
and, in turn, the City obtain the easement mentioned to correct the real
drainage problem. That proposed action seemed to them to be a better solution
in both fairness and equity as well as a better alternative than the one proposed.
Mayor Seymour stated that the proposal came down to the dollars involved. As he
understood the situation, they were faced with a requirement of installing a
storm drain at a cost of between $70,000 and $90,000 and the alternative they
were offering was to pay the City a sum of money to be put in an account'as
78-715
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
payment towards the drain one way or the other. Mr. Tarr agreed and stated
they were willing to pay $20,000.
Mr. Cal Queyrel elaborated further on the situation from the posted map, his
main thrust being that they felt by taking the "red" drainage (Gemco/Basin
Street Apartment complex) straight out to Broadway would be much less costly.
Mr. William Devitt, Assistant City Engineer, explained that the condition of
drainage was pointed out in 2 places in the Council minutes, general conditions,
and it was also a specific condition. It did not indicate the size of the pipe,
but the requirement of the City Engineer. The next thing the Engineering Depart-
ment heard of the project was when they received a plan from Anacal Engineering
which indicated drainage off the total land all to Gilbert Street which surprised
them, particularly because Anacal was the Engineering firm for a project with
a similar condition imposed. Engineering then checked with all those to whom the
developer should have spoken and, to his knowledge, it was not discussed with
anyone on staff. He maintained that the developer should have been aware that
the conditions meant more than to shove the drainage off into the street.
City Engineer James Maddox explained for Councilman Kott that if Mr. Queyrel's
plan was adopted, the drainage from Gemco and the Basin Street Apartments could
be brought through on an easement and intersect with the storm drain down in
Broadway so that the total amount would not get to Broadway and Gilbert. The
problem in acquiring an easement first lay in the fact that it would not be free,
and the second problem would be relative to access to the easement and to the
manholes within that easement.
Mr. Devitt then relayed the following information as the result of questions
posed by the Mayor, especially concerning the list submitted, giving examples
of previous policy applied to other projects regarding storm drains. The Mayor
did mot feel that the examples presented (see City Engineer memorandum dated
May 30, 1978 on file in the City Clerk's Office) had much correlation with the
property in question. Mr. Devitt referred to Example No. 5 which he considered
to be a similar project (Condo Development--Orangewood Avenue - West Street to
Eugene--S60,000 plus) wherein the developer was required to build a line in Orange-
wood from West Street to drain his property. The City then participated in the cost
of the drain to Eugene. He maintained therefore that the present developer should
be required to participate in the drain from Broadway to his property. What had
been overlooked was the fact that the ultimate intent was the drainage of Lincoln.
He then relayed the problems relative to the lack of drainage on Lincoln Avenue.
Mr. Devitt then continued as follows: he considered the proposal to build a drain
through an easement to pick off the Gemco property alleviating the problem on
Gilbert to be a myopic view of the situation; it would not resolve the major
problem. Relative to its effect on Transit Avenue, if the developer were to con-
struct a storm drain in Gilbert from Broadway to the subject property's southerly
boundary, it would be anticipated that the City would contribute in the cost of
two catch basins in Transit. Ultimately, the other drains would be constructed
providing relief on Transit Avenue. With the construction of catch basins, water
coming down Transit would no longer build up in Gilbert. A situation was already
78-716
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ !:30 P.M.
existing on Gilbert where the water topped the curb. In terms of a 10-year
frequency storm, the development of the subject property would increase the
flooding condition on Gilbert. Presently, the property acted as a sponge that
would relieve additional runoff. Mr. Devitt conceded that a major error and
wrong doing occurred at the time Gemco and Basin Street Apartments were allowed
to dump down to Transit. In this case however he emphasized that the basic
thrust was that the development of the subject property and the introduction
of water to Gilbert would impose an additional burden on the downstream property.
The relief that would be provided on Transit would be a drainage facility built
in Gilbert at some point in time. As well, there should be an additional smaller
drain built in Transit where it would pick up water and maintain the travel lanes.
Councilwoman Kaywood questioned if the drain was not built in Gilbert, whether
Transit Avenue was going to be under water most of the time; Mr. Maddox confirmed
that was correct.
Relative to cost, Mr. Maddox stated that they did run an estimate on the cost of
a storm drain which came to approximately $48,000; he considered the figure of
$70,000 to $90,000 mentioned by the developer to be high.
Mr. Queyrel stated that (1) unlike the conditions placed on his similar project
which was made a condition of approval of the final tract map at both the Planning
Commission and City Council levels, there was no such condition on the subject
development regarding the storm drains. It was implied that the statement was
included which was not the case, but only the usual standard statement. (2)
Relative to the drainage on Lincoln, drainage was on the north side and not the
south side. Thus, it should not be confused with the drainage problem involved
in the project. (3) It was mentioned that a major error was made on the drainage
in the area initially which was true because drainage should not have been allowed
to go down Transit. Although they were adding to the problem, that additional
approximate 1-inch deeper flow in Gilbert was not appreciable. He concluded there
should be a storm drain built there sometime, but the burden should not be placed
entirely upon them. Mr. Queyrel then reiterated the fact they had not known about
the requirement for a storm drain and such a requirement was usually specified
initially at the early stage of the engineering analysis, not later after the plan
was approved.
Mayor Seymour stated he empathized with the owner and in order to correct the
situation he believed to be unfairly placed on one party, his inclination was
to provide some relief by having the builder contribute $25,000 and if the cost
of the drain was $48,000, the City would have to contribute the additional
$23,000 necessary and install the storm drain.
Councilwoman Kaywood contended that Mr. Queyrel was not a newcomer with the City
and had dealt with staff many times. She was not willing to concede that an
error occurred by staff and did not agree that the responsibility should be placed
on the City. If the developer estimated $70,000 to $90,000 for the storm drain
and the City's estimate was $48,000, that in itself was in the developer's favor.
She maintained the City should not participate in the matter wherein the developer
was going to be removing what was now a porous area. Thus, the storm drain was a
necessary part of the project.
78-717
~ity Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Kott maintained that since an error had occurred, the City had to
pay for that error and although he did not like having to do so, neither should
the developer have to shoulder that burden entirely. He thus favored the idea
of splitting the cost with the developer in the area of 50 percent.
Councilman Overholt maintained the engineering solution was not a total one and
a better solution would be to install the drain running south from the Gemco
property; Mr. Queyrel agreed. As well, no one had looked into an easement as
previously mentioned other than the fact that it would cost money.
Mr. Devitt interjected that he had spoken to Sister Lois at Cornelia Connelly
who stated she would discuss the matter with the property committee and call
back, but no answer as of yet had been received.
A discussion then followed between Council and staff relative to points of
clarification requested by Councilman Overholt, at the conclusion of which Mr.
Devitt summarized that the most normal and desirable place to install catch
basins was in the street. It was necessary to build a line in Gilbert to pick
up the Lincoln water, a point upon which he elaborated, but without the develop-
ment of the storm drain, water would continue on westerly through the existing
residential neighborhoods, which presently it did not do. Water did flush onto
Lincoln and although the major flow of water was on the north side of Lincoln,
it had flooded properties on the south side.
Councilman Overholt stated his major question was answered in that, even if the
Gemco and Basin Street runoff was not a problem, there would still have to be
some kind of storm drain running from the subject property. Thus, he maintained
that the developer should know he had a set commitment dollar-wise although he
believed the $25,000 figure to be low. He would be agreeable to participation
by the developer of $35,000. Mr. Queyrel stated that they would be agreeable to
$25~000.
Councilman Seymour moved that the developer pay the City $25,000 which sum was
never to be returned. The City would set this amount aside for alleviation of
drainage problems existing between Lincoln and Broadway along Gilbert, Transit
and water runoff from Gemco and the Basin Street Apartment complex. Councilman
Kott seconded the motion. The motion failed to carry by the following vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kott and Seymour
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Overholt and Kaywood
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Roth
Councilman Overholt thereupon moved that the developer pay $35,000 prior to issuance
of a building permit for the purposes articulated. Councilwoman' Kaywood seconded
the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mr Tarr suggested that 2 or 3 cost estimates be obtained
to ascertain if the estimate was accurate. Mayor Seymour explained that the thrust
of Councilman Overholt's motion was that he was not convinced as to the best course
of action to follow relative to the drain, thus it would not be possible to obtain a
specific estimate at this time.
78-718
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 6~ 1978~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Overholt confirmed that his position was that the developer might
well be required to install a storm drain in spite of the Gemco problem. Speci-
fically he was talking about having $35,000 deposited with the City to be used
to solve the drainage problem with that being the end of the developer's respon-
sibility on drainage.
A vote was taken on the foregoing motion. Councilwoman Kaywood voted "No".
Councilman Roth was absent. MOTION CARRIED.

house conversions, lot frontages in the Hill and Canyon area, HACMAC--purpose,
function and timing, commercial-industrial development, new condominiums, general
plan, development standards--industrial/commercial, mobile home park condominiums
and any other items the Council would like to discuss.
By general consent, the Joint meeting as articulated was set for Monday, June 12,

although undoubtedly nowhere near as expensive, the glossy print and set-up
appeared to him to be an expensive process. He thus directed staff to provide

their garage to the list of items to be removed. Their agreement also calls
for the City to replace the irrigation system that would be removed by the taking
of 25 feet from the front of his property. However, if the garage was removed,
they would consent to eliminating the irrigation system replacement requirement
thereby saving the City an estimated $2,000.
