PRESENT: PRESENT: ABSENT: PRESENT: MAYOR: Tom Daly COUNCIL MEMBERS: Shirley McCracken, Tom Tait, Bob Zemel, Lou Lopez COUNCIL MEMBERS: None CITY MANAGER: James Ruth CITY ATTORNEY: Jack White CITY CLERK: Leonora N. Sohl PLANNING DIRECTOR: Joel Fick POLICE CHIEF: Randy Gaston FIRE CHIEF: Jeff Bowman A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was posted at 12:05 p.m. on May 21, 1998 at the City Hall Bulletin Board, (both inside and outside the entrance to City Hall) containing all items as shown herein. Special Meeting Notices were prepared and delivered on May 22, 1998. Mayor Daly called the special meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. Mayor Daly welcomed all those in attendance to the Special Council Meeting. Mr. Richard McFarland, Board of Directors, Eli Home 224 Cimarron Avenue, Placentia. He approached the podium and stated that he wanted to talk about last week's meeting (regarding denial of the Eli Home's CUP 3680). He has a two-page statement to read. Mayor Daly explained this is a Special Meeting to speak on two subjects -- emergency transport (ambulance) services in the City of Anaheim and a public discussion regarding the issues of sexually oriented businesses. He asked Mr. McFarland if he has a longer presentation or other speakers, if he could hold those until the next meeting since tonight's meeting is to focus on the two items as listed. Council Member Zemel. He noted that the agenda included Items of Public Interest and this is an advertised meeting. People have come expecting to speak and he believes they should have that opportunity; Mayor Daly noted that he was asking as a matter of courtesy especially since the Council was not going to meet at all this evening. He subsequently invited those who wished to speak to do so. The following people then spoke in support of the Eli Home and expressed their deep concern over what they considered the unjust decision by three members of the Council at the last meeting -- specifically, Council Members McCracken and Lopez, and Mayor Daly -- who voted against reinstating/continuing the Eli Horne's CUP (see extensive input and discussion, Council Meeting of May 19, 1998). They gave their reasons why the home should remain open, the good and important work Eli Home does, a vow to see that it continues, and a request that the Council reconsider their decision: Richard McFarland, Board of Directors/Eli Home, 224 Cimarron Place, Placentia Roxy McGee, 1119 W. Broadway, Anaheim Manny Jalandani, 241 S. Brookside, Anaheim Kim White, Program Director/Eli Home, 744 Fairway Lane, Anaheim Richard Chavez, Anaheim Firefighters Association Nicola Deterding, 104 Canyon Crest Drive, Anaheim Debra Walker, 25352 Berens St., Laguna Hills David Villalobos, 550 Newport Ctr. Dr., Newport Beach ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, MAY 26, 1998 Debbie O'Neill, Concerned Citizens of the Canyon, 5949 Avenida Arbol, Anaheim. It has come to her attention that the date for the continued hearing on the Maag Property (GPA 353, Reclass. 97-98-11, CUP 4005, et al) has been changed from July 21 to June 23, 1998. (Also see minutes of May 5, 1998, Item D2., where there was extensive discussion and input and the matter subsequently continued to July 21, 1998). They have met with the developer and the public relations firm. If any new traffic study has to be made, it would be difficult to get the information back in time and it does not give the staff time to review any changes. She also has other issues she will address at another time. She is requesting and has spoken to staff of the City for a July 7, 1998 date for continuation of the Public Hearing. Mayor Daly. He will ask that staff get back to Ms. O'Neill and explain whatever legal considerations there are; Debbie O'Neill. July 14 is the latest date that the matter can be continued to. City Attorney White then confirmed for Council Member Zemel, he believes that is correct. City Clerk Sohl. She believes the City may be able to accommodate Ms. O'Neill's request on July 7. A complete readvertisement is going to be done with an explanation as to why the date had to be changed. Mayor Daly. He will ask staff to work out the details and subsequently communicate with her. A brief discussion was held relative to whether or not the next item, AI. relative to emergency transportation services would be discussed next or the discussion on the sex oriented businesses (SOB's) scheduled for 6:00 P.M.; it was determined that since it was so close to 6:00 P.M., that the discussion scheduled for 6:00 P.M. would take place first. RECESS: By general Council consent, the Council meeting was recessed for 10 minutes (5:50 P.M.). AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members being present (6:03 P.M.). PUBLIC DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ISSUES OF SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES (SOB's): Receiving and filing the SOB Task Force update report. This matter was continued from the City Council meeting of May 5, 1998 to this date. Mayor Daly. There will be an opportunity for brief Council comments to introduce the item and subsequently, the City Manager will introduce staff. Council Members Zemel and Lopez have been on the Liaison Committee representing the City Council on this subject. He asked if either had comments at this time. Council Member Zemel. He thanked the Council for going forward with the Task Force and also staff who has not only done an excellent job putting together the Task Force but, even without the Task Force, for doing what they have done in this regard. The issue came up as a result of the Council being split on a few decisions and with the belief that they could all work together on an issue they feel strongly about. There are misconceptions on how the businesses got here, does the City need the tax base, etc. They wanted to clear up a few of the questions as well as determine what options the City has and what the City is working on. City Manager, James Ruth. The Task Force was formed by the approval of the Council on November 18, 1998. Members of the Task Force include Council Members, Lou Lopez and Bob Zemel as well as representatives of the Police Department, City Attorney's Office, Planning Department, and City Manager's Office. The Task Force has met three times to discuss and explore the issue of regulating adult businesses within the City of Anaheim. Included in those discussions was an SOB land use site tour recently held which included participation by staff members representing several of the City's State delegation. Finally, as part of their responsibility, it was to hold public discussions on the issue and to ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, MAY 26, 1998 solicit and receive public comments from the community. He then introduced the City Attorney to be followed by Police Chief Gaston and Planning Director, Joel Fick who will outline the public issues. City Attorney, Jack White. He first referred to the four-page handout previously prepared -- "Questions and Answers Concerning Sex-Oriented Businesses" noting that copies are again available this evening outside the entrance doors to the Chamber giving a general overview. Mr. White's presentation first gave an understanding of the limits imposed upon cities by the courts. The Supreme Court has ruled that nude dancing is a form of expression protected by the First Amendment; secondly, cities cannot ban this expression but may adopt reasonable regulations to curb the adverse secondary effects of such businesses. Finally, cities may, through use of zoning, restrict the areas in which these businesses may be located but must assure an adequate number of locations are available. Mr. White then relayed what the City had done to mitigate the situation adopting its first SOB ordinance in 1979 which imposed Iocational requirements and required businesses to obtain a discretionary CUP. In separate court decisions in mid-1993, Anaheim's CUP requirement was declared unconstitutional because it gave the City discretion to deny permits involving First Amendment protected activities. As a result, the City Council substantially revised the City's ordinance to strengthen the regulations. In 1994, the regulations were again revised to further limit the areas for such businesses to less than 1% of the total area of the City. Existing businesses were permitted to remain at existing locations provided they did not expand or change from one type of business to another and obtain an SOB permit. All of the existing businesses have now obtained permits obligating them to comply with all requirements of the City's ordinances. Since adoption of the current ordinance, two permits have been issued to new businesses and permits denied to two others as not meeting the Iocational requirements. They have been successful in defending the ordinance against constitutional attack through the Appellate courts in two separate cases. The City regularly receives requests from other cities to use the City's ordinance as a model. In the past five years, they have spent over $500,000 in legal costs defending the ordinance against attacks but it does not include any other City costs. The City created and chairs a Task Force composed of City Attorneys throughout Orange County designed to share information, experiences, and advise on such businesses. They are also actively supporting AB726 to close a significant loophole in State law. The Criminal Prosecution Division has been very successful in prosecuting violations of the City's ordinance and State law involving these businesses. Within the last month, they have obtained 19 criminal convictions. They are the only City in California which has been successful in obtaining convictions of lap dancers on State law prostitution charges. They are now receiving calls from other enforcement agencies throughout the State seeking information on how the City has been successful in these cases. After elaborating further on what had been accomplished, he turned the presentation over to the Planning Director. Joel Fick, Planning Director. Planning and Code Enforcement staff along with the Police Department and City Attorney's staff have spent a tremendous amount of work hours both in the enforcement of the City-wide ordinance and the subsequent monitoring of that ordinance. All of the land use decisions that have historically been made have been made within the backdrop of legal advice and legislative constraints that exist. The Code Enforcement Division in conjunction with the Police Department Vice Detail regularly devotes resources to vigorously enforcing City codes that apply to the seven existing businesses -- five are live entertainment theaters or cabarets, and two are retail establishments that sell sex-oriented merchandise. Six of the seven are allowed as legal, non-conforming uses. All need to be closely monitored to insure there are no adverse secondary impacts. He then outlined all of the things on which Code Enforcement focuses their attention relative to these businesses noting that each business is inspected by Code Enforcement staff twice each month. Code Enforcement staff has met and will continue to do so with all property owners and business owners regarding any reported violations and will continue to actively support the Police Department in all their related actions. Police Chief, Randall Gaston. He will limit his comments to the enforcement aspects of the SOB ordinance. The loophole that has caused difficulty from an enforcement standpoint is the definition of a theater and the ability for these establishments to convert their form of entertainment into a theatrical ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, MAY 26, 1998 production. They have done a survey on calls for service at the five sex oriented businesses from January, 1995 through April of this year. There have been 587 calls for service which they consider to be a considerable demand on Police response and resources. The secondary effects are more difficult to assess. In 1995, they compared the level of activities in those areas to 1997. Three of the areas showed a significant increase in the crime rate during a period when the crime rate in the City at large fell over 30%. They do see a correlation in the areas where these businesses are located to an increase in criminal activity. The Police Department takes a very proactive approach with these businesses working with Code Enforcement, the ABC, Planning Commission/Department, the Employment Development Department and the City Attorney's Office. They have entered into a unique form of enforcement which he explained. Many of the cases have already been resolved. All the males charged have pleaded guilty. Some of the females that were prosecuted as well as the managers recently received a rather severe sentence of 60 days in jail and 100 hours of community service and one entertainer and one manager sentenced to 90 days in jail. In the future, they look to the support of AB726 especially with the provisions limiting direct tipping to the entertainers. In concluding, Chief Gaston stated, they continue to monitor the situation very closely. He noted that it is time consuming for the Police Department to engage in the enforcement necessary regarding these businesses. City Manager Ruth. This concludes staff's comments; they are open to questions. Mayor Daly then invited comments from members of the public; the following people spoke giving their comments, thoughts and suggestions/recommendations as summarized: Tim Murphy, 819 N. Roanne, Anaheim. He has been involved in this issue since the Imperial Juice Bar opened in his neighborhood. He hopes more can be done in the area of large, stiff fines. Relative to the jail time to be served (as mentioned by Chief Gaston), he wants to see them serve the full time. He would like to see stiff penalties for the business establishments themselves and not just the individuals. He does not want to see any such businesses in the City at all. Perhaps stiffer fines will discourage violations of the regulations. Debra Maktari, 2509 W. Crescent, Anaheim. There are three adult businesses in West Anaheim. They appreciate the Task Force and everything they have done. She pointed out previously and believes the City Attorney has worked with the National Family Legal Foundation who specializes in helping cities with ordinances regarding these types of businesses. She noted what the Police presentation pointed out, in the three areas that do have these establishments, crime rates were up when they were down in the rest of the City. They would like the City Council and Police Department to be proactive in helping them and hopefully they can improve the situation and make their neighborhood a better place. Candy Nunno, 2665 Keys Lane, Anaheim. She referred to a recent newspaper commentary by Michael Ramirez, "On a Destructive Course - Moral Apathy." She would like to make sure moral apathy does not settle in in Anaheim and other cities. She then relayed what she found out goes on behind the doors of sex oriented businesses as relayed to her by a female employee who got involved in one of these establishments. It is something she wanted to share and also what the community can do to help end these businesses. She appreciates what the Council and City are doing and they are to be commended. Judith Ann Gollette, 649 S. Roanne, Anaheim. She asked when a location is approved, what are the standards for that location to be acceptable. She noted the one located on State College Boulevard right next to a bicycle shop seems to be the wrong location. She asked that they look at the businesses in the neighborhood has well. City Attorney White. The City's ordinance contains very definite Iocational criteria. The property on State College is not a location that conforms to the ordinance. That business exists as a result of one of the two law suits brought against the City in late 1992. The court has mandated the City to permit that business to be located at that location. If a new business were coming in and applying at this time, it would not be allowed to go into that location. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, MAY 26, 1998 Jeanine Tolley, 4120 E. Addington Drive, Anaheim. She relayed an incident when she went to Disneyland a few months ago and was walking down Harbor Blvd. when she saw sexual advertisements for sexually explicit type strip joints that were right by the newspaper vending machines. She was appalled. She does not know if there is any way to get rid of those but she does not understand why they are right by Disneyland since it is geared towards children and why the City is allowing that. City Attorney White. Over the course of many years, there has been a lot of litigation involving sexually explicit material placed in newsracks. The law is fairly well developed now that, just as dancing is held to be a First Amendment protected form of expression, that these sexually-oriented publications also have the same protection. Cities are not allowed to prohibit them or to regulate them other than in very limited ways. The City cannot tell them at what locations they can have them. They have a right to be at whatever location they choose and the City cannot preclude them from doing so. One area they have a right to control is if they pass the bounds from pornography to obscenity; however, obscenity has a very precise definition and is extremely difficult to enforce especially in California. On the other side are some very high-priced legal talent that represents the businesses that conduct this activity, both the written and the dancing form. He reiterated, because it is a form of free expression, the City cannot regulate where these newsracks go. Jerry Jackson, 9922 Harvest Lane, Anaheim. This type of business is not upgrading the community. It breeds homosexuality and prostitution. The monitoring is putting more pressure on the Police Department. He feels they need to draw a line somewhere. There are too many already and they need to get rid of them however that can be done. Freedom of expression is blown out of proportion. He notes all the businesses of this type are in the "flat lands". If they are going to be approved, why not in the hills as well. The businesses are going to continue to pollute the City and they need to find a stronger way to overcome the First Amendment issue. Fred Mooring, 2317 W. Ramm, Anaheim. As far as the SOB's, he feels they have the brunt of it in his area. He relayed some of the problems with which they are faced. Relative to the SOB's, he suggested that the City harass the businesses to the point where they do not feel it is worth continuing their businesses in the City. He feels there are ways to combat the situation. Joan Burke, 2317 Carlton Avenue, Anaheim. She believes there is a new State law regarding newsracks thanks to the City of Fullerton. It is no longer allowed to have sexually explicit anything in newsracks where children can put in a quarter or fifty cents and get the material. A cover is also required on the top of the material. She thinks it was enacted this year at Scott Baugh's initiative. Mayor Daly. They will ask staff to explore that in more detail. After public input, there were comments/discussion and specifically questioning of the City Attorney. City Attorney White first stated relative to the newsracks, he is aware of the statute being referred to. It is a follow up to an effort made four or five years ago that was similar and held unconstitutional but now re- enacted in a different form. He will follow up and submit a report to the Council and appreciates the comment. During the discussion, Council Member Zemel stated he wanted to congratulate and thank the City Attorney's Office on the recent convictions. It is very impressive that in the prosecution of lap dancing the offenders are now being prosecuted for prostitution. It is "cutting edge" and innovative. The new prosecutor is doing a good job. City Attorney White stated that the Prosecutor is Pat Ahle. They have many outstanding Prosecutors but he has been primarily responsible for the cases that have gone to trial and the cases he received convictions on. He is continuing to try additional cases that are even in trial this week plus more pending for next month. It is an ongoing effort and will continue as long as the activity continues. They are committed to being aggressive just as the Council. He continued that this is the first time he is aware of that lap dancers and managers both have been convicted of violating Section 647B of the Penal Code ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, MAY 26, 1998 which is the State law on prostitution for conduct that involves touching of private body parts but not involving what is commonly thought of as prostitution by the public. It was an innovative approach by their Prosecution Division and will continue with the help of the Police Department who is owed a debt as well as Code Enforcement. This is a joint group effort of City staff under the leadership and guidance of the City Council and City Manager's Office. Council Member Zemel. In response to Assemblyman Scott Baugh's Bill (AB726), there are numerous items he has come up with that will assist them. He acknowledged Julie Golinvar, Assemblyman Baugh's District Director who was present in the Chamber audience. He explained the work that had been done through and with the City's legislators including a tour to demonstrate what is going on in Anaheim so they could take the information back to Sacramento to assist in getting the bill through. The local elected officials are doing everything they can to try to get a more even playing field. The idea of the Task Force was to create an opportunity to get together and get input from the citizenry and also to see if they could come up with innovative ideas. One of the outcomes, and he is going to ask the City Attorney to touch on the issues, is the potential of a no-tipping ordinance and also a program where in Anaheim they would register the dancers in the establishments. He asked Mr. White to talk about the concept he is researching. City Attorney White. One of the big problems they have found in enforcement of both State law and the City's ordinance is that the Police Department when they go into these establishments is trying to make a correct identification of dancers. They are trying to find a mechanism where the entertainers will have to register such as going to the Police Department and have a photo I.D. taken. They would then be required to have the I.D. and be able to produce it when the Police Department enters the premises and needs to make an identification. That would be a requirement in the City's ordinance -- to have identification cards available at all times. In connection with AB726, there is no direct tipping of entertainers and it would actually put into place State law authorizing cities to adopt a no-tipping ordinance. Entertainers could not be handed tips or tips placed in their garments. There would be no direct physical contact made between patrons and entertainers. As a Charter City, he believes Anaheim can adopt an ordinance to prohibit tipping without the necessity of waiting for AB726 to be enacted. Staff will be coming back to the Council in the near future with an ordinance recommending putting that provision into place probably within the next few weeks. Council Member Zemel. When he came up with the concept of a Task Force and the Council appointed him and Council Member Lopez as liaison members, he thought it would be to invigorate old efforts. He was pleasantly surprised to find out what staff was already doing without a Task Force. The Task Force has been a good communication vehicle and some good ideas have come from it. He appreciates those who came to the meeting this evening and thanked the Council for being so supportive. Council Member McCracken. Last Fall, one of these entities came before the Council and they added additional conditions to their CUP. She asked if that process is of value to Code Enforcement and the City to control or limit the kinds of things going on in some of the places. City Attorney White. It is of value even though the process is no longer one where they can discretionarily deny a CUP. It gives an opportunity where they can logically impose conditions where they can avoid secondary adverse impacts. It is helpful and a process that they currently have in place that should stay in place. Council Member McCracken. In a neighboring community, Buena Park, she has been active in some of the organizations and as one gentlemen said, harassing the businesses might be helpful; however, there is a fine line as to what government can do as opposed to the community and community organizations in expressing their distaste. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, MAY 26, 1998 City Attorney White. The City cannot engage in harassing tactics but members of the public can look to the experience of private organizations in other communities to draw on those and see what has been successful. Council Member Tait. Two speakers brought up a good point relative to lewd newstands/newsracks. He feels common sense would say such material should not be accessible to children. He would like staff to take a fresh and aggressive look at that issue. City Attorney White. His office will be coming back shortly with something on that issue. Council Member Lopez. He complimented those in the audience for attending the meeting and inspiring the City to continue the fight. As a Police Officer for 29 years, he can echo their comments on what these types of businesses do to a community. They will continue to do everything possible to rid them from the City and staff will continue to review what can be done within the law. Mayor Daly. He thanked City staff -- the City Attorney's Office, Police Department, Code Enforcement, Planning, and the City Manager's Office for a fine and informative presentation this evening. They look forward to seeing progress on some of the points made. RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for five minutes (7:02 P.M.). AFTER RECESS: Mayor Daly called the meeting to order, all Council Members being present (7:13 P.M.). A1. CITY OF ANAHEIM'S EMERGENCY AMBULANCE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM: Authorizing City staff to enter into negotiations with Care Ambulance Service, Inc., to develop a contract for emergency transportation services for the City of Anaheim. Submitted was staff report (with attachments) dated May 12, 1998 from Jeff Bowman, Fire Chief recommending that the Council authorize City staff to enter into negotiations with Care Ambulance Service, Inc., to develop a contract for emergency transportation services for the City of Anahiem. Fire Chief, Jeff Bowman. He is present to give the findings and recommendations from the ambulance RFP (Request for Proposal) process. He referred to the handout submitted (see - The City of Anaheim's Emergency Ambulance Transportation System presented by Fire Chief Jeff Bowman and Staff - Anaheim Fire Department - made a part of the record). He first wanted to remind Council that he promised them three things when they started the RFP process -- to make sure that he would encourage a neutral panel to recommend the best proposal for the citizens of Anaheim. He and his staff believe that the panel has done exactly that. The second item, that it would be fair and unbiased, and the third, they would keep the RFP in mind and adhere to it strictly as they went through the process. In his mind, they have accomplished each and every one of the goals. Chief Bowman then gave an extensive presentation supplemented by slides, hard copies of which made up the handout submitted (13 pages). The presentation topics coverd Development of the RFP, Issuance of the RFP, Evaluation Process, Panel Recommendation, Why CARE Ambulance and a Summary. (See the documentation submitted which listed all of the specifics covered under the topics, each of which were briefed by the Chief). During his presentation, Chief Bowman noted that the panel (five-member team of assessors to evaluate the individual proposals) received all the written documents, all the oral presentations, had a chance to ask questions of the proposers, went away for a week and came back with a unanimous agreement on a ranked order of the five proposers. The panel told staff that CARE was clearly first, Medix, in their mind, clearly second, and both were better qualified than the other three on this RFP process. CARE was the panel's unanimous choice. There was no question of any of the five people on the panel that that was the best presentation and proposal made to the City. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, MAY 26, 1998 In the final analysis, CARE was the recommended vendor and he then gave all of the reasons why (see reasons starting on page 8 of the handout). He emphasized the five key reasons, issues that were extremely important as to why CARE was selected: (1) they offered command and control specifically to the Fire Department, (2) they dedicated five units for "911" calls only which is probably the most important issue of all the slides; they were the only company to dedicate units for "911" service, (3) they also offered that Metro Net, the City's Metro Cities Fire Authority Dispatch Center, could dispatch the units which gives the Fire Department the control of where the ambulances go from city to city, (4) they offered one dedicated backup unit in Anaheim and have 20 backup units in the Metro Cities area, (5) they were the only company that offered to provide a work schedule for their ambulance attendants exactly like the Firefighters so that they would be able to work with the same people most of the time during the year -- both working together to build a team that would make services in the community as good as they possibly could be. In closing, Chief Bowman stated he would like to specifically thank the five members of the panel for doing an outstanding job in sifting through the volumes of material and for doing exactly what they were asked to do. Theirs was the best possible recommendation. Council Member Lopez. He had set up a meeting with Chief Bowman through the City Manager but because the City Manager was on vacation, there might have been a miscommunication. He has several pages of questions and is wondering if they could continue this item for a few weeks so he can meet with the Chief. Mayor Daly. He asked the City Manager what a two-week continuance would do to the schedule. City Manager Ruth. They probably won't get a July 1 negotiated agreement but two weeks would be acceptable if staff is agreeable -- that would be June 9, 1998. Council Member Tait. He suggested perhaps that they should hear public testimony. Mayor Daly. He believes one of the ambulance firms wanted to speak. He asked if any Council Members have questions or comments. Council Member Zemel. continuance is approved. be agreeable to waiting. He has a number of questions but is willing to defer them if the request for If not, he wants to reserve the opportunity to ask those questions. He would MOTION. Council Member Lopez moved to continue this item for two weeks to June 9, 1998. Council Member Zemel seconded the motion. Before a vote was taken, Mayor Daly noted that one of the firms asked to comment. He asked the representative to come forward and share his thoughts. Dave Austin, Director of Operations, AMR - American Medical Response. He will hold his comments until the next meeting (June 9, 1998). Mayor Daly. He (Austin) has heard the presentation, has questions or comments, but does not want to make them this evening; Mr. Austin answered that is correct. A vote was then taken on the motion for a two-week continuance. MOTION CARRIED. A2. Approving minutes of the Anaheim City Council meeting held May 5, 1998. On motion by Mayor Daly, seconded by Council Member Zemel, the minutes of the City Council meeting of May 5, 1998 were approved. MOTION CARRIED. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, MAY 26, 1998 ADJOURNMENT: By general Council consent, the Special Meeting of May 26, 1998 was adjourned (7:37 P.M.). LEONORA N. SOHL, CITY CLERK
