For both removal and replacement under either condition the property owner must agree to reim- burse the City at $1.00 per square foot of sidewalk repaired." MOTION CARRIED. PARAMEDIC USER FEES: Fire Chief Riley presented a report dated April 13, 1Q7~, in connection with the Council's indicated desire to pursue implementation of a . user fee for the City's paramedic services. lIe reviewed the investigation conducted in establishing such fees and citizens' reaction to same in other cities, as well as the difficulties involved in obtaining payment of such fees from Hedi-Cal and Hedi-Care programs. The report concludes that should Council desire to initiate a paramedic user fee primarily as a deterrent to those who would unfairly use the paramedic services. and secondarily to offset the cost of the proeram, it would be appro- priate to establish a 3-tiered schedule as follows: Basic paramedic hands-on service - $25.00. Paramedic service including technical treatment $35.00 Service and transportation - $50.00 Maximum total fee - $50.00 (Intravenous, EKG, etc.) - Mayor Them stressed that the rationale for any user fee initiated by the City of Anaheim is to discourage those who would make abusive use of the program by calling for a paramedics unit for other than serious and/or life threatening situation. Chief Riley advised that the Fire Department desires to provide a good level of service to the community, but recognizes that every emergency call may not require the services of the paramedics unit. As the calls come into the dispatch center, they attempt to determine the level of service the emergency may require and will continue to handle incoming calls in this manner. On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Kott, the City Attorney was directed to prepare a resolution establishing paramedic user fees as recommended by the Fire Chief and further to prepare regulations and policy to be administered in connection with said fees.

Garry McRae presented resolutions which would implement two salary adjustments to the Police Captain job class, one effective November 28, 1975, and one effective April 2, 1976. He reported that the differential between Police Lieutenant and Police Captain salaries has dwindled from 15% to minus 5.2% because of recent salary approvals. These resolutions would provide the same wording as used previously. that the increase would not become effective until the Police Chief confirms that performance is satisfactory. In response to Hayor Thom, Mr. HcRae reported that the Police Captain position is equivalent to that of a Division Head in other city departments and that any increase for a Division Head is at the discretion of his Department Head.

CITIZEì¡S' CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT COHMITTEE: \1r. Murdoch submitted a list qf those individuals wishing to serve on the Citizens' Capital Improvement Committee, broken down according to their stated preferences. He suggested that if the Council were to appoint these individuals to the Committee they have indicated to be their first preference, with the exception of shifting some of those who requested Parks & Recreation to their second choice, and not adding any more to the Cultural Arts list. there would be a fairly even distribution. Mr. Murdoch commented that the geographical distribution of the volunteers has been analyzed and appears to provide a broad representation. He pointed out certain areas from which there is less representation and suggested that perhaps the Council might recruit volunteers from those portions of the City. With respect to the industrial and comrnerctal areas, he remarked that the Council Members may wish to solicit representation from commercial and industrial interests. A."1 initial meeting date of Monday, May 24. 1976, 7:30 P.M., in the Garden Grove Room of the Anaheim Convention Center is recommended. Mayor Thom indicated agreement with the City Manager's suggestions for proceeding with organization of the Committee, but noted that he also felt additional representation from the Spanish surname community should be recruited by Council Members. Following brief discussion, it was determined that the Council would submit additional names for inclusion on this committee. On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council determined that the initiel meeting of the Citizens' Capital Improvement Committee would be held Monday, May 24, 1976,7:30 P.M., in the Garden Grove Room of the Anaheim Convention Center and directed that letters be prepared for the Mayor's signature inviting those volunteers listed to partici- pate in accordance with the method outlined by the City Manager.

Haddox reported that there is one property which the City has yet to acquire in order to complete the right-of-way necessary in connection with an A.II.F.P. project to be completed just easterly of the inter- section of Lincoln Avenue and State College Boulevard. He advised that negotiations have been under way with the property owner for approximately eight months without success and the time schedule is such that the Engineering Division must certify the necessary ri~ht-of-way for this project to the County by Tuesday, Hay 11, 1976, to meet the schedule requiring that the project be advertised by the end of the current fiscal year. In response to Council questions, Mr. Haddox explained that it is proposed to take an area of 20 feet from the frontage of subject property which would clear the existing structure by 8 to 10 feet. He further noted that the Canary Island Pine trees located in the parkway will be relocated, 3 or 4 of them to be used in the median to be constructed with this project and the remainder to be moved to City Parks. The cost for said tree removals and relocations will be shared and a portion of Gas Tax funds may be used as the trees will be used in the street improvement project.

CONDITIOnAL USE PERMIT NO. 1587 - MODIFICATIONS TO ORIGINAL AGREEMENT: Mr. Murdoch related that the City staff has been working with Mr. McDonald to provide a method of handling storm drainage, street improvements and other necessary improvements for the development of industrial property on both sides of Pacifico Avenue, west side and westerly of State College Boulevard. At the time of approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 1587, at their meeting of February 17, 1976, Council reached an agreement with'Mr. McDonald relative to an exchange of costs on the street improvements and drainage. It has since been determined that this arrangement cannot be completed by the City without using some General Fund monies. The City's share of these improvements was anticipated to come from Gas Tax funds and these can only be used for street improvements or improvements in direct connection therewith. The resolution to this matter worked out between the City staff and Mr. McDonald, which it is felt will carry out the intent of the Council, is that the developer install the underground improvements, storm drain, including water and sewer and the City carry the responsibility for the street improvements on both Pacifico Avenue and State College Boulevard. He explained that an analysis of tœ compara- tive costs indicates that they are almost identical to the portions of responsibility previously agreed to by each party. Both City and developer would share equally in the cost of the traffic signal to be installed at State College Boulevard and Pacifico Avenue. Xr. McDonald indicated he was in concurrence with the revisions as out- lined by Mr. Murdoch. In response to Councilman Kott's question, the City Attorney. explained that there was an agreement originally negotiated between the City and Mr. McDonald's firm, which included situations and considerations aside from zoning 1T ----0_' "~'M- -,,",_, 76-317 City Hall. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 4, 1976, 1:30 P.M. and site development standards and that this agreement had not yet been executed; and it is recommended that the terms and conditions of same be modified pursuant to this discussion. Mr. Murdoch reviewed the dollar figures estimated for the cost of each increment of the street and underground improve- ments to demonstrate that the totals are comparable to the figures originally agreed upon. Councilman Kott stated that he would prefer to see the written agreement so that he might compare the costs with the original, with which Mayor Thom concurred and also suggested that time schedules be included in the proposed agreement. On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council approved in concept the proposed agreement between the City and Golden West Equity Properties, Inc., as outlined by the City Manager, and instructed the City Attorney to prepare the written agreement in accordance therewith. MOTION CARRIED. Council Members Kott and Thom abstaining.

(71-72-44(16) - RS-5000) COMMENTS - "RECENT FIRE ADJACENT Tn WILSliIRE-WESTMONT CONDOMINIUM: Mrs. Jeanne Moreau, 278 Wilshire, Anaheim, spokesman for the property owners in the Wilshire-Westmont Condominium was recognized by Councilwoman Kaywood. Mrs. Moreau explained that because of the recent fire which began at the apartment building under construction adjacent to the Wilshire-Westmont building, the property owners have become concerned that reconstruction of this apartment building according to the existing development plans would present a fire danger to their building because of improper or insufficient access for emergency vehicles, etc. She further explained that she and some of the other residents understood the apartment building was to be two-stories, however, on actual construction they learned it was to be two-stori~atop a partially below-grade garag~, which creates a building three-stories high. Mrs. Moreau respectfully requested that the Council reconsider their previous approval for the apartment building. Mayor Thorn explained that the developer has obtained a building permit, following duly noticed public. hearing on a zoning petition, has met conditions imposed thereon, and that 1t .i.s his prerogative to rebuild the apartment build- ing acc.ord:!.ng to his original plans. Should the Council determine to take action to rehear or reverse their previous decision at this point, there would be a high probability of this action being subject to litigation and award of monetary damages to the developer. Following discussion of the situation between Council and Mrs. Moreau, on motion by Councilman Se~uour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the Fire Chief was requested to prepare a re~ort for the Council discussing whether or not the design or ::onditions of the construction s:i.te created an access problem for emergency vehicles during the fire and further whether the apartment building once constructed according to the approved plans would cause unreasonable fire danger to the Wilshire-West:mont buDding. MOTION CARRIED. Mrs. Moreau was requested to leave her name, address and phone number with the City Clerk so as to be notified when the report from the Fire Chief is presented. REQUEST TO SUPPORT AB 2752: Councilwoman Kaywood introduced Mary-Evelyn Bryden, of the Orange County Transit District who explained that some amended versions of AB 2752 are under consideration by the Assembly and that the Transit District is desirous of support from Anaheim and other Orange County cities of a conce?t which would provide for compensation to be given to those private companies OCTD is in competition with for that portion of the business which they lose as the result of OCTD services, rather than the existing requirement that the Transit District actually buyout the private firm. She stressed that OCTO believes there is sufficient market for private and public transportation and supports the conti:l11ance cY pdvate operators. 1T ~.-......~--~c ~--<.- 7(;-325 Cit Hall Anaheim California - COUNCIL MINUTES - ~1a 4 1976 1:30 P.M. FolloWing extensive discussion between Council Members, Mrs. Bryden and Mr. Ed Slagle of Yellow Cab Company, who gave his firms views in opposition to the OCTD position, motion was made by Councilwoman Kaywood that the City Council support AB 2752. Councilwoman Kajvood noted that she felt it impera- tive that the Anaheim City Council take into account the serious effect of air pollution and traffic congestion and that during the month of March, 1976, OCTD buses carried over a million passengers for the first time and are therefore providing a much needed public service. Councilman Thom seconded the motion; however, following additional discussion, the Council determined that they had insufficient information at this time to vote on the foregoing motion and tabled same pending receipt of written arguments from Mr. Ed Slagle of the Yellow Cab Company and copies of the proposed Assembly Bill itself. ORANGE COUNTY DIVISION, LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES - EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council adopted a position of support for the appointment of Carolyn Ewing to replace Winston Updegraff as the Executive Director of the Orange County Division,League of California Cities. MOTION CARRIED. LAFCO APPOINTMENT: On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council determined to support the reappointment of Mr. Don Saltarelli to the Local Agency Formation Commission. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED POLICY - "EXTRA" AGENDA ITEMS: Councilman Kott inquired how fellow Council Members felt about receiving written material on which decisions are to be made immediately or shortly before the meeting and suggested that a policy be established that no items be given the Council after the end of business on the Friday preceding the Council meeting. The Council, in general, shared the frustration experienced by Councilman Kott in attempting to read and digest these materials within a relatively short period of time, but recognized that there are times when it is just not possi- ble for the reporting departments to have the reports and documents prepared to meet certain deadlines. Councilman Seymour stated that he feared such a policy would grind the wheels of progress in the City to a halt. Mayor Thom suggested that it is any Council Member's prerogative to refuse to vote on a matter if he or she feels he has not had sufficient preparation. Councilman Roth concurred with Councilman Kott and observed that since his last term on the Council in 1972 the amount of paper work for Council Members has doubled and he would be hopeful that some steps could be taken to reduce the volume of paper work facing the City Council. RETIREMENT - CITY CLERK: Mayor Thom read a letter addressed to the Council from Mrs. Alona M. Hougard, City Clerk, announcing her intention to retire and to resign, effective September 3, 1976. On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Kott, the City Clerk's notification of retirement and resignation, effective September 3, 1976, was accepted. MOTION CARRIED.
