REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY: Demands against the City in the

REPORT - RESULTS OF THE MAi{AGE~NT PRACTICES AUDIT - PUBLIC WORKS: Mr. Jeff Beck
of Arthur Young & Company presented the report on the Management Practices
Audit of the Public Works Department. He outlined the objectives and scope of
the survey conducted which dealt with only the Property Maintenance, Street
l~intenance, Engineering and Parkway Maintenance Divisions; Mechanical
Maintenance having been previously reviewed and report submitted and accepted
by the City Council on September 9, 1975 (see Minute Page No. 75-815).
The overall Arthur Young & Company finding was that the Public Works
Department operated in an effective manner and that managemen~ on a depart-
mental and divisional level was excellent.
~.~. Beck first presented recommendations which apply to two general areas,
spanning all divisions, these being related to scheduling, performance evalua-
tion and cost allocation, i.e., that systems be implemented to handle these
factors, the latter system being a good computer application.
Specific recommendations for the divisions of Public Works are as follows:
76-22
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 13, lg76~ 1:30 P.M.
1. That custodial staffing requirements be determined and the present
complement of custodial personnel be adjusted accordingly; that the City
explore using private firms to provide janitorial services, obtaining bids by
individual buildings.
2. That inventory control be improved by:
a. An annual physical inventory.
b. Securing the stock room.
c. Review of obsolescence in the stock room.
d. Placement of this inventory into the City-wide inventory system
when implemented.
3. That a minor job crew be created from those under-~tili~ed permomnel
on crews Arthur Young & Company determined to be overstaffed.
A. Investigation of the use of a private street sweeping service.
5. That a test period be conducted using restructured Parkway D~intenance
tree trimming crews.
Mr. Beck reported that the following policy changes with respect to Public
Works Department should be considered by the City Council:
1. In future development, parkways be eliminated altogether.
2. That when it becomes necessary to replace a tree in the parkways, if
it is determined that the sidewalk damage problem would be recurrent, and the
sidewalks are 4 1/2 feet or less in width, that the tree not be replaced.
With regard to the Engineering Division, Mr. Beck stated that it became
apparent on initial investigation that in order to do a fair evaluation of this
Division it would take a lengthy and in depth review, which was not performed.
The review was very limited and the recommendations presented in the report
with respect to Engineering are more of the obvious kind than the type which in
depth review would turn up. The recommendations are:
1. That a scheduling system be implemented in Subdivisions.
2. That the possibility of duplication of efforts between the City and
County in connection with plan review be investigated, and if such duplications
occur, eliminate the plan review in the City.
3. Evaluate and increase the current $10 per hour rate charge for
engineering work performed for private organizations and citizens as this is
below the actual costs incurred.
4, That an in depth review of the Engineering Division be conducted over
a one-year period, expanding the analysis beyond the scope of ~he Arthur Young
& Company review; possibly this could be accomplished internally.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that the Arthur Young & Company report recom-
mends an increase in the sidewalk repair charge from $.50 to $.90 where as the
actual cost of the service is $1.05 and questioned why they did not recommend
the City recover the full cost.
Mr. Beck explained that the $.90 charge covers certain base costs involved
in each repair and was recommended as minimum charge inasmuch as there will be
a significant amount of resistance to any increase.
Councilwoman Kaywood further questioned the possible conflict in reduction
of inventory levels and the necessity to have spare parts available~ as well as
the security problem the City would face with private janitorial services.
Councilman Pebley stated that he absolutely did not agree with the Arthur
Young & Company recommendations relating to the use of private janitorial and
street sweeping services. He based his opinion on experience in his own
business wherein he has had an opportunity to evaluate the performance of both
his own employees and private services. He advised that the performance levels
of private firms for both maintenance and street sweeping, while initially may
be acceptable, fall off rapidly; that there is a constant change in personnel
leading to difficulty in £indins the individual responsible in cases of prop-
erty damages and losses.
Councilman Seymour pointed out that the recommendation made by Arthur
Young & Company is that these two possibilities be explored and that he is
always willing to consider an alternative.
76-23
City Ilal!; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 13; 1976; 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Seymour remarked that he felt in connection with the recom-
mendation regarding non-replacement of parkway trees if these have to be
removed, that he did not think this appropriate although he agrees there are
cost savings. He felt that rather some sort of plant material should be
replaced which is shallow rooting and will not cause damage to the sidewalks.
In reply to Councilman Seymour, Mr. Beck summarized that the Arthur Young
& Company estimates the cost savings to the City upon implementation of these
recommendations would amount to $355,000 in annual savings and a $7,000 one-
time saving. In addition, the City should realize $13,000 increased revenue
annually. The cost to the City to implement the recommendations is $50,000.
Mr. Piersall commented that he is basically in agreement with the Arthur
Young & Company report and recommendations. He advised that they also dis-
cussed with the Arthur Young & Company the items discussed at this meeting and
no change will be taken in either custodial services or street sweeping until
an analysis of the pros and cons of each situation is submitted to the City
Council. The only disagreement they have with the report is that the Parkway
b~intenance Superintendent is skeptical about the restructuring of tree
trimming crews, but they are going to try it.
~.~yor Thom congratulated Mr. Piersall and the Public Works Departmen~ on
the outstanding commendation given them by Arthur Young & Company.
At the conclusion of discussion, on motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded
by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council accepted the Arthur Young & Company
report on the results of the Management Practices Audit of the Public Works
Department and requested an implementation plan for the recommendations be sub-
mitted. MOTION CARRIED.
REPLACEMENT OF REFLECTORIZED MATERIAL - "NO PARKING" SIGNS: In accordance with
request of Councilwoman Kaywood at the meeting of January 6, 1976, Mr. Talley
submitted a report from the Director of Public Works advising that the use of
City-prepared signs is the most cost effective manner to provide the "no
parking" signs as it is less expensive than painting curbs or purchasing signs.
Certain of these signs because of sun conditions require replacement of the
reflectorized material every two to three years. The signs themselves are
removed from the mountings on the posts, replaced with signs from City stock,
taken to the shop and the faded material replaced.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom, ~he report
from the Director of Public Works dated January 12, 1976 on "no parking" sign
replacement was ordered received and filed. MOTION CARRIED.
LICENSE AGREEMENT - ELECTRIC LINE FACILITIES (AT & SF TRACKS AT KELLOGG DRIVE):
The City Attorney reported that on further investigation, this agreement is no
longer necessary and therefore withdrew the resolution which had been prepared
to execute same.
E(~UESTRIAN LEASE - ANAHEIM HILLS~ INC.: The City Attorney's Office presented a
proposed lease agreement between the City and Anaheim ttills, Inc., for five
acres of property located adjacent to the Anaheim Hills Golf Course for
purposes of developing an equestrian center.
~. Lowry described the location of subject five acres and briefed the
terms of the agreement, i.e.~ that the property be valued for equestrian pur-
poses at $12,000 per acre, and that the lease price be established at 10% of
that value which amounts to $6,000 per year for the five acres. The terms pro-
vide for an option to lease an additional five acres and an option to renew the
lease agreement for five more years. Anaheim Hills, Inc., would also receive
the right of first refusal in the event the City should desire to sell this
property, based on the $12,000 per acre price or on an agreed appraisal price,
whichever is best. He advised that this latter provision is the only basic
change from the terms of the lease as originally considered at the Council
meeting of October 7, 1975, (see Minute Page Nos. 75-908).
In response to Council questions, Mr. Lowry reported that at the termina-
tion of either of the two periods in the lease, any improvements thereon would
be removed by the lessee and the property restored to original condition within
90 days.
76-24
Ci~ Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 13, 1976~ 1:30 P.M.
Upon ascertaining that the lease as it is currently written provides that
the option for renewal will be based on the same valuation as currently, i.e.,
$12,000 per acre, Councilman Seymour stated that this is, in fact, then a ten-
year lease on a fixed valuation. Whereas he felt it would be more equitable
for a rent escalator clause to be provided whereby the rental for the second
five-year option period would be based on 10% of the market value as indicated
by the tax assessor at that time.
Mr. John Millick, Vice President of Anaheim Hills, Inc., responded that
this would be agreeable so long as the assessed valuation is figured on the use
of the property for equestrian purposes and not to its ht§hest and best use,
with which Councilman Seymour agreed.
During the discussion, Councilman Seymour pointed out that as an adminis-
trative and accounting matter, should this lease agreement be consummated~ the
acreage which it involves should be removed from the debt and interest
responsibility of the golf course and placed in some other account, as it would
no longer be property contemplated for expansion of the Anaheim Hills Golf
Course.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES - RIVERDALE PAPal SITE A~D VISTA DEL RIO JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL:
Councilman Seymour introduced Mr. Ron Trunk with whom he had worked on the
Canyon Site No. 1 Task Force to present a proposal regarding construction of
athletic facilities in the canyon area.
~. Trunk, representing the newly organized Canyon Little League, advised
that he is speaking also on behalf of all youth organizations who utilize the
City and school facilities in the canyon. He outlined the proposal which is to
remove three existing backstops presently located at Vista Del Rio Junior High
School and move these to the Riverdale Park Site. lie stated that they have a
developer who wishes a place to dump dirt and who has agreed to dump and level
at the Riverdale Park Site with the final grading and backstops to be placed
there by the Canyon Little League. They further request that the City Council
76-31
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 13, 1976, 1:30 P.M.
authorize the expenditure of $14,400 to purchase four new backstops and some
fencing to be placed at Vista Del Rio Junior High School. This proposal would
provide a total of seven'facilities, four for games and three for practice.
Councilman Seymour stated that he felt this is a project which the Council
could accomplish without establishing a precedent, noting that there is an
opportunity to take advantage of some volunteer labor and donations and provide
the facilities which are badly needed.
At the request of Councilman Seymour, Mr. Lloyd Trapp reported that it is
understood by the Parks Division that this proposal is to utilize the Riverdale
Park Site in the manner described on an interim basis, until such time as the
City develops the park, which is scheduled two to three years from now. On
ultimate development of the park, there will be no more than two ball playing
facilities at the Riverdale site since any more than that number would not be
in conformance with the City's total concept for park planning.
Mr. Trunk stated that it is understood this is to be a temporary utiliza-
tion and that this has been entered in the minutas of the Canyon Little League
for future reference. He also advised that they understand the scheduling for
use of the facilities at both Riverdale site and Vista Del Rio Junior High
School will be under the jurisdiction of the Anaheim Parks, Recreation and the
Arts Department and that the facilities will be made available to ali youth
groups in the area, that there is no exclusive right to use these fields being
granted to the Canyon Little League.
Hr. Watts advised that it will be necessary to draft an agreement with the
Orange Unified Sc}~ool District regarding placement of backstops and fencing to
be purchased with City funds on the school property.
Additional problems which might be anticipated as a result of the use of
Riverdale Park Site for athletic fields were discussed including complaints of
noise and dust from the neighbors and parking.
~. Trapp reported that tile matter of parking has been discussed with the
Canyon General Hospital Administration, and they have preliminarily agreed to
permit the use of a portion of their parking spaces behind the professional
building west of the hospital on an interim basis until permanent facilities
are installed. In addition, the Orange Unified School District has agreed to
permit the exclusive use after school hours of the 55 parking spaces at
Riverdale Elementary School.
Councilman Seymour moved that an appropriation not to exceed $14,400 from
the Council Contingency Fund be approved to finance the development of athletic
facilities, as outlined, at the Vista Del Rio Junior High School and Riverdale
Park Site; and further instructed tile City Attorney to prepare an agreement
with Orange Unified School District regarding the improvements to be performed
at said school site. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion MOTION
CARRIED. '
ADJOU~b~NT: Councilman Sneegas moved to adjourn to Thursday, January 15, 1976,
