Mayor Thom called the meeting to order at 9:35 a.m.
CO~MUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUDGET - THIRD YEAR: Prior to the meeting a
report had been submitted to Council dated December 7, 1976, setting forth three
alternative Budget plans labeled "A", "B" and "C". Mr. Priest advised that be-
cause of the lengthy review' process, it is necessary to designate one of these
Plans at this time for submission to the clearing house although it may still
be amended at the two public hearings to be held subsequent to this date.
Mr. Mattessich outlined the basic differences in the three Budget Plans indicating
that Plan "A" leans heavily toward the Housing Program, Plan "B" has the least
amount for housing and most for public improvements, while Plan "C" is the most
balanced both in terms of housing and public improvements.
Because of the interest demonstrated at the last public hearing relative to a
Community Center, Mr. Bill Vasquez briefly reported on some of the findings in
a survey he had conducted of such facilities in neighboring cities.
It was noted that there is an allocation of $130,000.00 from the Second Year
Community Development Block Grant Program for a Community Center and any expen-
diture plan set forth in the third year would be an addi'tion to these funds.
Additional discussion addressed the size, physical features, layout, location
and services to be provided within the proposed Community Center. The fact that
an interim facility, to be developed within Project Alpha area had been con-
sidered was introduced, but the Council was somewhat reluctant to spend the
amount of money under consideration on an interim facility.
It was reported that the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department had initially
discussed utilization of this capital in a joint project with the Anaheim Union
High School District to build two combination gymnasium and multi-purpose rec-
reational centers at two junior high school properties (sites suggested were
Fremont and Sycamore Junior High Schools). Under this proposal, the joint
facility would serve as a junior high school gymnasium during school hours and
a Community Center after school hours. The capital to be forwarded from
Community Development Block Grant Funds would be matched by the School District.
It was stressed that this suggestion is in very premature form but if the Council
wishes, the idea could be explored further.

City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES -.January 4.~ 1977, 9:30 P.M.
There has been further discussion regarding the possible utilization of the George
Washington School, should the School District decide to remove all educational pro-
grams from that facility, however, to date no definite decision has been made by
the School Board. In response to the idea of converting the George Washington
School over to this purpose, Councilman Seymour expressed the concern shared by
some Membera of the Council that if, in fact, the City does have success in its
housing and preservation efforts, then these restored areas will provide homes
for young families and will again generate a school age population. He stressed
that he had a real concern that the George Washington School remain operative, at
least until the Neighborhood Preservation Program can be assessed to determine
whether it is increasing the number of younger families in the area.' Toward this
end, he indicated his willingness to meet with the Anaheim Elementary School
District and Councilman Seymour thereupon moved that Mr. Priest be directed to
communicate with the Anaheim Elementary School Board asking them to meet with
the City Council sometime within the next 30 days to discuss this situation.
Councilwoman Kaywood.seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Richard Vargas, Chairman of the Community Services Advisory Board, commented
that the proposals to utilize existing school property or to build adjacent to
schools would not provide a facility within the time frame the Council promised
they would have an answer for the youth (January 14, 1977), who are primarily
interested in a Community Facility which would serve as a youth drop-in center.
He suggested the Council discuss some type of interim program and what the
opportunities are for conversion of an existing structure to this use. The
alternative plan of building two facilities he felt was out of the question
since the decision has not even been made as to where the first one would be
built. He pointed out that neither Sycamore nor Fremont Junior High Schools
are within the Community Development Block Grant target area. In reference
to a youth drop-in function for the Community Center, he felt that close prox-
imity to any school area should be strongly reconsidered in light of the fact
that part of the function would be counseling of youths with psychiatric and
drug problems and further that with only a part time facility, i.e., being
restricted to after school hours, certain planned programs which would normally
occur during the school day could not be carried forward.
Although it was stressed that there has not been any decision in detail as to
the specific size or make-up of the community facility itself, some discussion
was held regarding the fact that the $130,000.00 currently allocated would not
be sufficient and a budget for this facility should more likely approach the
neighborhood of $500,000.00. Modifications of the three alternative Budget Plans
presented were discussed.
MOTION: At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Seymour commented that he
felt Plan "C" appears to be the most reasonable approach to take as it con-
tinues the efforts begun a year ago and at the same time, although completion of
the Community Center under Plan "C" would require matching funds from other
sources, it adds $120,000.00 to the current allocation bringing it up to $250,000.00
total at this point. Councilman Seymour thereupon moved that Plan "C" be adopted
in principle for the Third Year Community Development Block Grant Program and
authorized staff to draft the Third Year Application accordingly. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the'motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Ci~ty Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 4, 1977, 9:30 A.M.
>Ir. Vargas recalled that the Community Services Board had directed a letter to
the Council asking that they not approve either Plan "A", "B" or "C" and that
the Council look at one item, the multi-purpose center. In view of the action
taken by the Council, Mr. Vargas extended an invitation for a Council represen*
tative to attend their meeting on Thursday, January 13, 1977, and explain the
situation to the Community Services Board Members. Mayor Thom indicated that
he or another Council Member would be present.

ANAHEIM STADIUM FOOD SERVICE: Mr. Tom Liegler reported on the proposed first
amendment to the 5-year agreement with Szabo Food Service for total operation of
the food and beverage concessions at the Anaheim Stadium. He explained that follow-
ing a series of meetings between the California Angels, Szabo Food Service and City
staff, the proposed addAndum to the original agreement was prepared and provides,for
changes in operation of the Stadium Club only; namely, that the facility be renovated
at a cost of $90,000, said sum to be forwarded to the City by the concessionaire and
amortized at $10,000 per year from the operations account for the next nine years..
The City would provide $50,000 in funds already accrued through the original agree-
ment and set aside for Stadium Club improvements.
Samples of materials to be used in the renovation and redecorating project were dis-
played, as well as artist's renderings of the completed decor.
Both Mr. Havice of Szabo Food Service and Mr. Red Patterson, representing the
California Angels, briefly addressed the Council expressing an optimistic outlook for
the coming season.
Because of concerns pointed out by Councilman Kott that the provision in the agreement
calling for the sum set forth to be deposited in a bank having a "main branch" in the
City of Anaheim, particularly that this would severely limit the banks eligible to
accept this deposit, it was agreed to strike the word "main" from the two places it
appears in the subject amendment.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 77R-3 for adoption authorizing execution of thc
amendment with the change set forth above. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO, 77R-3: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROV-
ING THE TE~MS AND CONDITIONS OF AN AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH SZABO FOOD SERVICE,

CITY MANAGEb~NT CONFERENCE - JANUARY 7 AND 8, 19.7~: Councilman Seymour stated that
he had recently been informed the City Management Seminar scheduled for Thursday,
January 6 at the Anaheim Convention Center is to be followed by a department head
conference on Friday, J~nuary 7, and Saturday, January 8, which would be conducted
outside of the City with overnight accommodations afforded for City employees attend-
ing. Councilman Seymour recalled that the City Council of the City of Anaheim has
set an example by spending less money for meals, hotels, travel, etc., than any other
city council in Orange County, and that this planned seminar would be contrary to the
policy of thrift and economy so established. Consequently, he coul~ not condone it
unless it is to be held within the City of Anaheim. He made reference to use of the
Anaheim Convention Center which has the facilities to accommodate this type of meet-
ing.
MOTION: Councilman Seymour'thereupon moved that the City Manager be instructed to
cancel the reservations at the Kellogg West Education Center in Pomona and not to
conduct the two-day City Management Seminar outside of City of Anaheim facilities.
Councilman Kott seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Talley responded that he certainly would comply with Council's directive; that
this seminar was set forth as a budgeted item in the 1976-77 Budget and has been
conducted in the past and, therefore, it was his understanding that this practice
was in conformance with Council policy. Mr. Talley pointed out that the cost
to the City was for the use of Kellogg West Education Center, which is a State educa-
tional facility, and was scheduled in order to disseminate information regarding the
budget process to be used in preparation of the 1977-78 Budget. Councilwoman Kaywood
pointed out the memo of September 1976, which listed these dates, not sudden of secret.
CHARTER AMENDMENT: The City Clerk re~orted that pursuant' to Government Code Section-
34464, the certificate of Ratification by Electors of the City of Anaheim of Amendments
to the City Charter at the November 2, 1976 election was recorded in Orange County
on December 28, 1976; accepted and filed by the Secretary of State on December 27,
1976, becoming effective that date; and are on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
PAC APPO%NTMENT: On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom, the
City Council clarified that Mr. Larry King's ~election to the Project Area Committee
at the Council Meeting of December 21, 1976 was to replace Darwin Stockwell, rather
than Marguerite Lee, with term ending June 30, 1978. MOTION CARRIED.
BICYCLE LANES - NO PARKING ORDINANCE (LINCOLN AVENUE AND SUNKIST STREET): Report ·
from the Traffic Engineer dated December 28, 1976, recommending that City Ordinance
No. 3596 prohibiting parking in bicycle lanes on Lincoln Avenue and Sunkist Street
be retained, was submitted for Council consideration. Adoption of Ordinance No. 3634
was continued to this date from the meeting of December 21, 1976, pending this report.
Ordinance 3634, upon adoption, would permit no vehicle parking at any time in marked
bicycle lanes.
Mr. Singer gave a verbal report on the survey conducted in other communities to
determine their parking restrictions in relation to bicycle lanes. It was ascertained~
that there is a multiple mix of parking restrictions ranging from no restrictions at
all through daylight restrictions, to no parking at all. Mr. Singer stressed that
introducing marked bicycle lanes along City streets asumes an obligation to safety,
and that in order to meet the safety standards set forth by the State of California,
the lanes should be marked for no parking at any time. He explained the difficulties
of introducing bicycle traffic into City streets and the major causes of accidents.
77-9
City Ha%l, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINb~rES -January 4? 1977,, 1:30 P.M-.
Mr. Robert R. Heydon, 874 South Sunkist Street (who had previously forwarded corres-
pondence to the Council dated December 20, 1976), Mrs. Alyce Whieldon and Mrs. Laura
Skile, all Anaheim residents living on Sunkist Street who would be affected by the
proposed parking restrictions, were recognized by the Mayog and each addressed their
concerns to the Council, chiefly being that they have insufficient room in their,
driveways or on their'property fo? parking of ~heir own'and visitors vehicles, and
while they are not opposed to the bicycle lanes per se, they do feel that it is unfair
to deny residents use of the curbside parking in front of their homes. It was
further pointed out that during Little League season the parking p~oblem would be
compounded because of the activities in the nearby park.
Mr. Robert Cox, (no address given) also indicated he was in favor of bicycle lanes,
but not restricted parking.
Following discussion between Council Members and the Traffic Engineer, during which
he outlined the alternatives open to the Council, Councilman Seymour suggested a
compromise position of prohibiting parking on the west side of Sunkist Street only
from 7:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. daily, and leaving the lane on the east side of the street
as is, thereby allowing the residents to use the east side for parking.
At the conclusion of discussion, by general consent, the City Council directed the
City Attorney to prepare an ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 3596 and an ordinance
establishing no parking from 7:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. daily on the west side of Sunkist
Street, and retaining Lincoln Avenue east to the Santa Ana Riverbed in a no-parking
zone.
RECESS: By general consent, the Council recessed for ten minutes. (3:00 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Thom called the meeting to order, all Council Members being
present. (3:10 P.M.)
CONTINUED PUBLIC }{EARING - VARIANCE NO. 2860: On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded
by Councilman Seymour, the continued public hearing on Variance No. 2860, submitted
by Dew Construction Company to permit the outdoor storage of boats on P~(SC) zoned
property located at 4640 East La Palma Avenue was further continued to the meeting of
January 11, 1977. MOTION CARRIED.
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT NO 75-15A: Application of A. Shipkey, Edwin E.
Kettler and William O. Corn to abandon Palm Street between Ball Road and Harbor
Boulevard was submitted, together with application for exemption status from the
requirement to prepare an EIR. (Said matter continued from the meetings of October 12
and November 2, 1976 at the request of the applicants)
Report was submitted from the City Engineer dated September 16, 1976 reporting that
the project was found to be categorically exempt from the requirement to file an
EIR under the provisions of Section 3.01, Class 5, of the City of Anaheim Guidelines
to the requirement for an EIR and, further, recommending that said abandonment request
be denied.
The Mayor asked if the applicants wished to address the Council.

City Ha.!l,~.Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES.- ~anuarv 4.~.1977, %:30 ¥~M.
Mr. William O. Corn, 5162 Princeton Avenue, Westminster, one of the three owners of
subject property, reported that they have, over a lengthy period of time, developed
a plan for use of their property as a recreational vehicle park and motel. However,
the development plans call for the west edge of the property to provide the access
street, and it would be difficult to locate driveways on the western edge of the
property because of the proximity of Palm Street to the corner of Harbor Boulevard
and Ball Road. Closure of Palm Street would allow development of subject property.
to a better use. He advised that American Land Title Company will give fee simple
title to the property located within the roadway, once abandoned, to the adjacent
property owners. They have made agreements with owners of property on Harbor
Boulevard, and it is felt that the County's need for access to their Harbor Boulevard
facility could be resolved through a land trade.
Mr. Art Shipkey, 420 West Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, stated that he felt the resolution
of the County access problem is in the hands of the County and may be resolved, if
they would come up with a reasonable plan which is also acceptable to him. However, at
this point he is ~ot sure but that what the County wants is more thao he is able or will-
ing to give. If an acceptable access solution to the County facility could be worked, out,
Mr. Shipkey stated he would then be agreeable to abandonment of his portion of~the
property only.
Mr. Steve Solyer, representing the County of Orange, indicated that he has discussed
the situation with Mr. Shipkey and some ideas were reviewed; however, the County, at
this point, does not have a firm alternative for access should the street be
abandoned. Mr. Solyer explained that the County building on Harbor and Palm Streets
has several different functions, one of them being the wmights and measures calibrat-
ing station, to which it is necessary that large trucks gain access. He concluded
that the County, as a property owner, should have some guarantee that they would
receive the abandoned right-of-way to their facility. The County is not opposed to
the abandonment, nor to the project, but wishes to first see their problem resolved.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, Mayor Thom closed the public
hearing.
Following brief Council discussion, on motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by
Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council continued decision on Abandonment No. 75-15A
for a period of 60 days to the Council Meeting of March 1, 1977, to allow time for
the property owners to work out a solution to the County's access problem. MOTION
CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARIN~ .- RECLASSIFICATION NO, 76%.77-2 (READVERTISED), .~IR NO, 178, TENTATIVE.
TRACT NO. 9425: Application from the estate of Adolph A. Schutte, care of Alan Talt,
for a change in zone from RS-A-43,000 to RS-5000 to establish a 106-1ot subdivision
on property located at the southeast corner of Ball Road and Sunkist Street was
submitted, together with EIR No. 178.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC76-255, recommended EIR
No. 178 be certified as being in compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act with the inclusion of some consideration for recreational space and, further,
recommended approval of Reclassification No. 76-77-2~Readvertised), subject to the
following conditions:
77-11
City Hall, Anaheim, California - CO.UNCIL MINUTES - January 4, 1977, 1:30 p.oM.
1o That a final tract map of subject property shall be submitted to and approved
the City Council and then be recorded in the Office of the Orange County Recorder.
2. That these reclassification proceedings are granted subject to completion of
annexation of subject property to the City of Anaheim.
3. That the property owner(s) shall grant a minimum 30-foot wide ingress and egress
easement to the southeast portion of the parcel at the southeast corner of Ball Road
and Sunkist Street, and said easement shall be reviewed and approved by the City
Attorney and then be recorded in the Office of the Orange County Recorder concurrently
with final tract map recordation.
4. That development of subject property shall be in accordance with Council Policy
No. 542 pertaining to sound attenuation for residential developments.
5. Prior to the introduction of an ordinance rezoning subject property, Condition
Nos. 1 and 2, above mentioned, shall be completed. The provisions or rights granted
by this resolution shall become null and void by action of the City Council unless
said conditions are complied with within one year from the date hereof, or such
further time as the City Council may grant.
6. That Condition No. 4, above-mentioned, shall be complied with prior to
final building and zoning inspections.
Miss Santalahti reported that it is recommended this public hearing and the next
item scheduled on the agenda, a public hearing on Reclassification No. 76-77-29,
be considered together, as these actions affect adjacent properties. She briefed the
Planning staff report submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission for
both Reclassification Nos. 76-77-2 (Readvertised) and 76-77-29.
In response to Council questions, Miss Santalahti noted that the property which is
the subject of Reclassification No. 76-77-29 has not had a recorded parcel map
filed, and is an illegal lot. If the City approved Tract No. 9425 without taking
some action on this adjacent parcel, that would create a non-conforming situation.
With this in mind, the Planning Commission felt that the adjacent property should
be considered at this time and initiated Reclassification No. 76-77-29. Because
access to that parcel would be restricted to an easement through Tract No. 9425, a
similar land use (RS-5000 dwelling units) was considered appropriate. Although the
parcel has been discussed earlier as a potential service station site, Miss Santalahti
explained that it is not standard service station size and the establishment of that
use would require a conditional use permit.
Mayor Thom opened the public hearing on both Reclassification Nos 76-77-2 and
76-77-29. '
Mr. Jim Christensen, 1208 Deerpark, Fullerton, explained, in z'esponse to Councilwoman
Kaywood, that the drainage situation has been resolved by a condition imposed upon
Tract No. 9425. His firm will participate through reimbursement agreement with the
developers of the mob~lehome park as they were the first to proceed and were required
to install the drain.
(The following portion of the minutes is transcribed verbatim from a tape recording
of the meeting,as was later requested by Councilman Seymour, from remarks made by

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 4, 1977, 1:30 P.M.
"Number two, the lot on the corner, in regards to Mr. Talt's lot, we had produced
evidence and given them and submitted them the record wherein they had received
certified letters from us, certified letters from the City indicating that there
was to be a zone change on his propert~ telling him that it would be now zone
changed to RS-5000; that he also recognizes and the City has it on record for years
that he has no ingress or no egress to that lot from Ball Road or from Sunkist
Avenue. He has been told oveC and over agai~ we have warned him about it and yet
he gave authorization for the annexation of this area and the zone change for this
particular thing in the general letter to us which we submitted and the attorneys
submitted, to the Planning Commission which showed that we did indeed have the right
to have that property zoned. We recognize we could not leave that parcel out. We have
told Mr. Talt in the very beginning when we bought the property and approached him
that there was going to be a problem with it. He has steadfastly said I don't care,
I have got my property there and it has been there and it is going to stay there,
and we said, well something is going to have to be done with it, it won't just stay
there, it will have to be changed and so forth. So finally the Planning Commission
did initiate under their own volition, a hearing to change the zone on that. He
was duly notified by us, we gave copies to the staff and to the attorney of the
notification so he knows all about it, still to this day, has never said anything
about it one way or the other."
Mr. Paul Singer reported on the proposed location of the bicycle trails within
Tract No. 9425 which would be developed'off-street and adjacent to the sidewalk
from Ball Road almost to Cerritos Avenue. He commented on the relative safety
problems encountered when an off-street bike lane traverses onto a street and
that there is difficulty especially with traffic turning right.
Councilman Seymour reiterated that the safest possible location for a bicycle
lane, notwithstanding the traffic meshing problems at the intersections, is
still off-street and removed from the traffic right-of-way, and that this
tract provides an excellent opportunity to accomplish this type of bike trail,
for at least a portion of the route.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to be heard on either Reclassification
No. 76-77-2 (Readvertised) or 76-77-29 and there being no response he declared
the public hearing closed. '

EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS (DRAINAGE FACILITY FOR TRACT NOS. 7567 AND 926~):
The recommendation of the City Attorney, that the City Council adopt a resolu-
tion determining the necessity for and directing the acquisition by eminent
domain of real property for drainage purposes in the Peralta Hills area adja-
cent to Crescent Drive, was submitted together with written request from Mr.
Jacque R. Grigry, 5128 East Crescent Drive, Peralta Hills, Anaheim, 92807, be
heard on this matter.
Mr. Grigry was recognized by the Mayor and stated that he wished a one week
postponement of the item due to the fact that he did not have legal counsel
with him and his Attorney had some points which he wished to raise. He felt
there should be some further negotiations.
Mr. John Dawson, special Counsel retained by the City to prosecute the eminent
domain action, explained that because of the necessity of installing this storm
drain before any sizable rain, the City must initiate eminent domain proceedings
on all those properties which have not heretofore been dedicated and furthermore
obtain a writ of immediate possession. He remarked that neither of these actions,
however, would preclude his ability to conduct additional negotiations with the
property owners. The first step he intends to take is to obtain a new appraisal
for the property in an attempt to conduct the proceedings on as fair and reasonable
a basis as possible.
Mr. Grigry remained unconvinced that this rush to install the drain is necessary
and basically objected because of the trees which he would lose.
Councilwoman Ka~ood pointed out for the record that the City has been involved
in acquisition of property for this storm drain for about 6 years now, and
the route chosen is the natural water course which makes a great deal of sense.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 77R-7 for adoption. Refer to Resolu-
tion Book.

HILL AND CANYON MUNICIPAL ADVISORY COb~ITTEE: Report to the City Council from
the Planning Department dated December 28, 1976, on the establis-hment of the
proposed Citizens Advisory Committee was submitted. Following a brief discussion
with input by both Mrs. Mary Dinndorf and Mrs. Janice Hall, residents of the
Canyon area and members of the Canyon General Planning Task Force, it was deter-
mined that the City Council would directly appoint 10 of the members, the remain-
ing 5 to be selected from among the officers of established homeowner groups in
the Hill and Canyon area. Staff was directed to begin obtaining lists of such
officers. Council indicated that they were interested in obtaining a wide
geographically based representation on this Committee.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City Council
established the Hill and Canyon Municipal Advisory Committee to be made up of
a total of 15 members who are qualified electors of the City of Anaheim, living
in the Hill and Canyon area, all of said members to be appointed by the Council,
including one ad hoc member from the City Council and one from the City Planning
Commission. MOTION CARRIED.

PILOT PAPER RECYCLING PROGRAM: A report on the status of the Pilot Paper Re-
cycling Program was submitted for Council information only.
Councilwoman Kaywood commented on the correspondence received from the Anaheim
Union High School District relative to the City's entrance into this program and
stressed that at no time did she, as a supporter of this program,ever have in
mind the City's taking away a fund-raising activity from other groups. On the
contrarv, her goal and concern is conservation of trees and solid waste disposal.
She suggested that groups interested in paper recycling could work together to find
a mutually acceptable arrangement for paper collection.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council
accepted the report submitted by the Sanitation Inspector and urged that all
volunteer groups interested in paper recycling work together with the City's
pilot recycling program to resolve the problem of pick up of newspaper for
recycling. To this motion, Councilman Roth abstained. Councilman Kott voted "No".

recently acquired at a cost of $28,000.00, the City will gain a useable fire

Mr. Robert Harte, American National Volleyball Association, to discuss the

December 28, 1976, to this date.

American National Volleyball Association, outlined their position and their
activities in the County, indicating that they are a major employer of young
people; that they are now recruiting to develop Youth Volleyball Leagues and
hope to prepare a strong National Volleyball Team. They wish to solicit
for the purpose of selling tickets to exhibition volleyball matches, both
door to door and by telephone.
Both Mayor Thom and Councilwoman Kaywood explained to Mr. Harte that the many
complaints received by the Council regarding door-to-door solicitation has led
them to deny r&quests for door-to-door solicitation.
77-19
£.ity Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 4, 1977, 1:30 P.M.
Following discussion, it was ascertained that the American National Volleyball
Association is a non-profit corporation, and as such could sell tickets within
the City by obtaining a business license. Furthermore, it was noted that the
organization would ~lso be eligible for waiver of the business license fee be-
cause of its non-profit status. In conclusion, the American National Volleyball
Association was directed to proceed in this manner and the Council tool~ no further
action on the Solicitation Permit
ROOM TAX PENALTY - QUALITY INN: Mr. Harold Berlo, Jr., General Manager of the
Quality Inn, 616 Convention Way, addressed the Council to appeal'a tax penalty
assessment against their firm in the amount of $6,246.16, as set forth in his
communication dated December 17, 1976. Mr. Berlo explained that in June of
1975, the pa>~ent for the previous month was miscalculated, that this was due
to clerical error and they acknowledge the tax liability in the amount of
$6, 272.99. However, they wish to appeal the penalty assessed against them
since this was due to clerical error. There was no intent to defraud and they
were unaware of the deficit until the City Auditor uncovered same.
At the conclusion of Mr. Berlo's presentation and discussion, Council indicated
they would be agreeable to working out some acceptable method of payments for
the penalty, however, they would not be agreeable to waiver of the penalty inas-
much as it would create precedents which would make it difficult for the City to
enforce the Ordinance.
On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council
denied the request for waiver of penalty imposed on the Quality Inn in accor-
dance with Anaheim Municipal Code Section 3.04.210. MOTION CARRIED.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1636 - REQUEST FOR REHEARING: On motion by Council-
woman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom, the request submitted by Harry Knisely,
Attorney, for a rehearing to consider modification of a condition of approval

an 80-unit motel on property located at the northeast corner of Katella Avenue
and Easy Way, was denied. To this motion Council Members Seymour and Roth voted
"No". MOTION CARRIED.
VARIANCE NO. 2252 - EXTENSION OF TIME: On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded
by Councilman Seymour, the request of Josephine B. Lopez for an extension of

received sufficient information on the feasibility requirements and was not
convinced that the employment of this firm would benefit the project to the
extent of the proposed expenditure. MOTION CARRIED.
