PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION ESTABLISHMENT: It was reported by Mr. Watts that the directors of the Chamber of Commerce have reviewed the proposed ordinance which would establish an advisory Public Utilities Commission (copies thereof distri- buted to each Council Member, June 15, lQ76). He noted the provision for a S50 payment to each member for every meeting attended, subject to approval of the City Council. In response to comment by Councilman Roth, Mr. Watts reported that the ordinance proposed is not the same as the concept presented by the Chamber of Commerce in their proposed City Charter amendment. Council discussion was held pertaining to the $50 payment, and it was pointed out that City Plannning Commission Members receive the same amount for each meeting attended. Mayor Thorn expressed concern that the concept of the Utilities Commission proposed by the Chamber of Commerce Task Force might bestow more power upon the Commission than the City Council is desirous of giving. Mr. Joe White, 809 West Broadway, member of the Chamber of Commerce Task Force on the Utilities Commission, was recognized by the Mayor and advised that the proposal submitted would allow approximately the same amount of power as that of the Utilities Commission in the City of Riverside; that is, the com- mission would be free to operate the utilities as they desired, within the limits of the yearly budget allocated by the City Council. Rates would be established according to the current cost of service, and the proposal would allow up to 8~ of the gross profits to be transferred to the City's General Fund during the first year, with a gradual reduction over the years to a point where no monies would be transferred, all profits going toward lowering the "IT "",_"'>'d-.'MC" >"-~.,~ 7 h -¿,1? City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL HI:TUTES - June 2?, lQ7(i, 1:30 P.~1. cost of the electricity to the users. The proposed Charter amendMent would also give the Commission the ripht to sell revenue bonds without going to the vote of the electorate, the reason for this provision being that if the City nrnceeds with plans for generating its own power in accordance with the passing of -Proposition A, (tfarch, ] q75) it will be runninr; a hillion dollar business Hh:ich requires access to capital. In answer to questions by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. White stated that the Riverside City Charter was not the model for the proposed provision of gradually reducing the percentage of returns to the General Fund; this pro- vision was inserted because the Chamber of Commerce Task Force interpreted the intent of Proposition A to be that the profits would be directed toward reduc- ing electrical rates, rather than to the General Fund. He reported that there had been no discussion as to proposed taxation which could be applied to make up the difference when profits were no longer directed to the General Fund. He pointed out that the format of the proposed Charter amendment was flexible and suñject to any changes the Council might impose. ~ayor Thorn pointed out that the determination to be made at this time is whether the City Council wishes to proceed with the establishment of a public utilities commission by means of an amendment to the City Charter, or by way of an ordinance. Councilmen Roth and Kott both expressed strong support of the ordinance method, creating an advisory commission, and allowing the power to remain with elected representatives, and leaving bond issues to be determined by the people. Councilman Seymour reiterated his previous stand in favor of an advisory commission and thereupon moved for a one-week continuance to allow time for further review of the proposed Charter Amendment and the preparation of a pro- posed ordinance. Councilman Thorn seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. PROPOSED BINGO ORDINANCE: Hayor Thorn reported he had received numerous inquiries about local legislation to allow bingo games to be conducted in the City of Anaheim for the benefit of charitable organizations. On motion by Councilman Thorn, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Attorney was instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance providing for said activity. MOTION CARRIED. COUNCIL POLICY NO. 212, DRAINAGE FACILITIES - PAYMENT OF FEES REOUIRED: On report and recommendation by City Engineer James P. Maddox, it was moved by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Roth, that the following policy for required payment of fees for drainage facilities be adopted, in accordance with the report from the City Engineer dated June 3, 1976: "It is the policy of the City Council that for that area within the Anaheim City limits east of the Orange Freeway the drainage fees required by Section 17.0R.n40 shall he completed at the time of issuance of building permits rather than prior to the approval of a parcel map, or prior to the issuance of a grading permit, except where a tract map is required." ~OTION CARRIED.

Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 22, 1976, 1:30 P.rf. POLICY CIUlliGE - PARKWAYS AND SID~lALK CONSTRUCTION: Memorandum report from the City Engineer dated June 9, lQ76, was submitted relative to the recommendation by Arthur Young and Company, that a policy change with regard to elimination of parkways in all future developments be effected, with location of sidewalk con- struction adjacent to the street curbs. Councilwoman Kaywood expressed unalterable opposition to the elimination of street trees and was of the opinion that some of the advantages listed in the report were, in reality, disadvantages. For example, one advantage listed was that the elimination of parkways would effect a slight reduction of land area required for street right-of-way, which may increase density on a given parcel and increase the land area on the tax rolls. Concerning listed dis- advantages, one illustrated that any future replacement of a water meter box or repair of a water leak under the sidewalk would require removal and construc- tion of a portion of the sidewalk. She was of the opinion that over the years this would prove to be prohibitively expensive. Councilman Roth stated he concurred with the recommendation of Arthur Young and Company and pointed out that the policy was actually adopted in 1972. He noted that the provision increases the amount of green area in front of homes, an advantage where there are 5000 square foot lots. Councilwoman Kaywood was of the opinion that Council Members should review the areas where sidewalks were installed in 1972 under such policy, especially those located in the flat land areas. Councilman Seymour concurred with statements of Councilwoman Kaywood as they pertained to areas where SOOO-square foot lots have been created, where there are no parkways, and where there is little setback with a maximum of ten feet for driveways; however, in his opinion, this type of cost saving would not result in an aesthetic loss of street scene so long as the tree, which would formerly have been planted in the parkway, was required to be planted within the private property and the policy is not applied directly to situations where there may be varying setbacks, which could create a setback situation of ten feet or less. Further discussion was held, and in reply to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Maddox noted previous discussions with the Parkway Maintenance Division pertaining to the utilization of appropriate trees particularly adapt- able to the narrow parkways, it being found that there are a number of trees recommended; however, other factors sometimes cause tree roots to grow larger than anticipated. Councilman Kott noted various beautification projects which have been under way in the City, and he called attention to the contrast between funds being expended to beautify the City and the savings anticipated by the proposed omission of parkways. He questioned the amount of savings that would be realized when taking into consideration the cost of water line and water meter installations under sidewalks. Councilman Seymour advised of his strong feelings about the concerns of Anaheim Beautiful and other interested groups; however, again pointed out that the recommended policy is a result of the Arthur Young and Company study and recommendation. He was of the opinion that parkways served no valuable service except to act as buffers between sidewalks and traffic; that the separation of parkways from the adjacent property owner yards might tend to discourage them from maintaining these areas; however, if the parkway space is located on the inside of the sidewalk, maintenance should be encouraged. This in itself could constitute beautification of the City. On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Roth, the follow- ing policy was adopted as recommended by the City Engineer (memorandum report dated June 9, 1976. on file in the Office of the City Clerk), subject to the condition that, in those instances, developers be required to plant trees on 'TT . -.....,......"--... . ..., 7 (, -II: lj City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL HINUTfS - June ??, 1976, 1:30 p.r1. private> properties in accordance with the previous policy for parkway trees; further, that no waiver ofc;eth.'lck requirements be 8ranted as long as said con- dition is Branted to the developer. r.OHNCIL POLICY no. 213 - PARKHAY AND SIDEFALK CONSTRUCTION: "1.

CONTH:DED PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED 1976-77 BUDGET: Consideration of the proposed budget for the 1976-77 fiscal year was continued to this date from the !:leetings of June 8 and 15, 1976. lì "-" 7(,-/./", City 'la11, Anaheim, California - (~nUNCIL HrmTES - June ?2, l(P~, 1 :'30 P.H. Assistant City Manager William O. Talley reported that at the direction of the Council on June 15, 1()7F, repre~entatives of all departf\1ents have met and reviewed both the present and contemplated expenditures for the next fiscal vear. 'T'he Finance THrector and the nudget Office have revie~.¡ed all existing revpnue sources. He summarized the report sunIJ1itted to the City Council, pointinp: out that expenditures for this year have been reduced by approximately S514,OOO. One of the two major areas involved is a reduction of service levels in the Public Horks Department for a $152,000 reduction based on expenditures; the proposed budget for that department can be reduced by S130,00O next year on the nasis that the expenditure levels would be maintained at the lower level. In the Office of the City Þttorney, based on his tentative recommendation and the current estimate, the amount for liability insurance premiums has been reduced by $50,000 based on current estimates of what those premiums will be. Pith this approximate ~5nO,ooo savings this year and the $2nO,00n estimated for the cominr fiscal year, the total savings amounts to an approximate $700,nOn. 1i.eferrinr, to Schedule 2 of the report, }{r. Talley called attention to approximately $400,noo in additional revenues. He reported that the final sales tax payment has been received in an amount increased by $224,nOO, t,..rhich allowed a $197,000 increase in the estimated revenue for next year; total increase, $425, OOf). Park site development fees will bring in approximately t,lO(),OOO less this year, it beinp: predicted that they will be approximately $165,OOn less next year. In addition, a Convention Center transfer of $1?5,()OO is contemplated. In conclusion, Mr. Talley stated that the proposed budget is balanced; ho~~ver, an approximate amount of $hOn,noo from rock concerts is included, and should this amount not be raised, it would require a transfer from the General Fund to replace the contemplated revenues. The proposed budget also contem- plates that utility rates will follow those of Southern California Edison Company, that there will be a In~ increase in those rates in September, and that the fuel cost adjustments are accurate. Currently, this budget is approximately $367,000 out of balance, taking the reduction of ~1,498,nOn out of Southern California Edison Company revenues. A total of $851,nOO in addi- tional cuts has been presented in the repo~t, and suggestions included as to which ones might be best utilized to make up the $3~7,nOO. In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Hr. Talley advised that the <';117,000 being allocated to Þnaheim (California Senate Bill 174) had been anticipated in the proposed budget. Councilman Kott questioned the determination of revenues generated by the Visitor and Convention Bureau and the booking of conventions. Hr. Talley replied that the Visitor and Convention Bureau revenues are based upon the value of rooms rented by convention delegates, and the conven- tions are probably booked through the Bureau, the Convention Center, and through various hotels. The Bureau is specifically charged with the handling of any convention scheduled for more than one year in advance, or conventions where the members require the assistance of the Bureau in obtaining accommo- dations. Councilman Kott questioned certain areas of the Visitor and Convention Bureau activities, with Mr. Talley responding. Councilman Kott was of the opinion there must be some duplication of services between the Visitor and Convention Bureau, the Stadium and Convention Center and the Chamber of Commerce; further, he suggested that the Bureau be audited and made accountable to the City. In answer to question by ~~yor Thom, Councilman Kott concurred that he would like to see, under the Community Development section of the proposed budget, a combined budget comprised of Convention activities of the Visitor and Convention Bureau, the Stadium and Convention Center, and the Chamber of Commerce, which should avoid any duplication of services. IT ~~-"- 7F-441 C:Ü:.,'..t:all, Anaheim, California - cOUnCIL HINUTES - June 72, 1971). 1:3n P.H. Councilwoman Kaywood stated she had seen no duplication and no conflict between the three entities. Councilman Roth reported he was very pleased with the results of the recent Visitor and Convention ~ureau audit conducted by the City. '1r. Hilliam Snyder, Hanager of the Visitor and Convention P.ureau, was reco~nized by ~ayor Thom and briefly explained some of the Bureau's activities. He advised that they had no significant number of cancellations, notin~ how tentative reservations are often made many years in advance, sometimes for the same series of dates. \fuen one of these conventions is hooked, any others tent~tively scheduled for those particular dates must be cancelled. Conventions and trade shows are booked by the Bureau, not by the Convention renter; further, there is no duplication with the Chamber of Commerce. He noted that business has doubled since lC\72, and the Bureau operates efficiently on less money than most cities. Regarding accountability, ty~ce a ~onth exten- sive records of expenditures are sent to the City \~anager's Office, and he expressed concurrence with the recommendation of the City f\uditor that the 'layor <1nd another Council Hember attend Bureau Hoard meetings. In reply to Mayor Thorn's question, Mr. Snyder stated that his reaction to the proposal that a "super board" be appointed to deal t.nth community promotion \.¡as mixed; he was in favor of a liason committee working to insure that there is no duplication and to the Council representation at the Board meetings. ~r. Larry Sierk, Vice-President of the Chamber of Commerce, stated that the rh:mber is not involved in convention promotion, but is involved in visitor and tourist promotion with emphasis on people who are considering locatin8 their businesses or their homes in Anaheim. He noted that both organizations consist of volunteer memberships and determination should be made as to distribution of tax funds. In answer to Council questioning, Mr. Sierk outlined major items covered In the C'.hamber of Commerce Budget. 'Ir. Frank Bret of the Disneyland Hotel addressed the Council advising that he is a past president of the Visitor and Convention Bureau and was of the opinion that the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor and Convention Bureau were tINe separate entities which should not be mixed. Anaheim's convention business is the envy of all major cities. He cited the amount of business generated by the approximately sno,ooo people attending conventions each year, and the fact that $/,50,000 of the S2.5 million generated by the room tax is being requesteci for the operation of the Visitor and Convention Bureau. This amount helps to pav for the Convention Center and keep it occupied and solicits conventions \ihich result in approximately $35 million being spent in this City yearly. 'Ir. Jim Hebb, past President of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Council recalling the problems experienced by some of the hotels in lQ65, prior to construction of the Convention Center which was built to help create more year-round tourist and convention business. He was of the opinion that the Visitor and Convention Bureau had been accomplishing its purpose and he agreed that possibly a more formalized definition of responsibilities between the Bureau and the Convention Center administration should be brought together. Also addressing the Council indicating his concurrence with statements by !'!r. ~']ebb was Hr. Dale Seider of the ~heraton-Anaheim. Councilman Seymour stated that there seemed to be a communication problem and also a lack of proper monitoring of expenditures. He felt that after reviewing the report by the City Auditor and hearing the statements made today, the $455,000 budget for the Visitor and Convention Bureau was a good invest- ment. These funds are tax funds, and it must be assured that they are expended properly, which is the responsibility of the City Council. Further, since he had become a member of the Council, the communication process had been limited to an annual presentation by the Bureau, and he was of the opinion that the first step should be to get a line of communication going. He thereupon moved that the members of the Visitor and Convention Bureau Board of Directors be requested to consider the appointment of two members of the City Council to serve on the Executive Committee or on the Board of Directors, and jointly 11 7 h-lf¿¡ ., City na11.

Councilman Seymour further noted that the agreement with the Visitor and Convention Bureau should he reviewed by the City l\ttorney for recommendation as to firming up any weak areas. Councilman Kott referred to the proposed Sanitation Services budget and questioned wlether there is a limitation as to the number of containers which the refuse collectors will handle at each of the fiR,f)f)() residential units in the City. Director of Public ì~orks, Thornton E. Piersall, reported that the current contract for refuse collection provides for a limit of four containers per single-family residence and special service upon request. The average number of containers handled is less than four per residence. Although the current contract has four years to run, it is expected that in a few weeks the con- tractor will be makinr a request for an increase and during negotiations, the maximum number of containers per dwelling will be discussed. ~~. Talley called attention to an error in the budget recommendation for monthly sanitation fees; the ~1.75 should be ~2.28. He briefly explained rates charged to the City by the contractor, and advised that the total cost of sanitation services is anticipated to exceed the revenues therefor by approxi- mately ~458,OO~. Concerning the proposed Redevelopment Department budget, Councilman Seymour related a brief history of the City's comMitment to Redevelopment which was affirmed in 1974 with the employment of the Redevelopment Director. He noted the current status of the program and advised that during the past three months he had looked back over the progress to date and, in attempting to foresee the future and to assess the present direction, he concluded that a re- direction is needed in the Redevelopment process toward a more realistic approach, with the major emphasis on housing, including the Shapell Government Housing Senior Citizens Residential Facility, with support from commercial activities such as the proposed Village Center. The emphasis on commercial- office facilities in the vicinity of Harbor Boulevard could be continued if desired by the community, as well as the Civic Center "super block"; however, the new concept should exclude the previously proposed and costly re-routing of Lincoln Avenue. In his opinion, the Redevelopment program can be more success- ful in its output. For the fiscal year 1975-7fi, expenditures for the Redevelopment program "rill exceed the adopted budget of $496,322, and the proposed 1cH6-77 budget is ~1,lql,91n. In his opinion, the citizens would not be in accord with such expenditures much longer without being able to see some substantial results, Which is one reason for the proposed re-direction of the program. He noted the increase in staff from 13 to 29 being requested by the P,edevelopment Departnent, and it was his recommendation that the Redevelopment Department be reducerl to a size of 5 to ~ people. and to the greatest degree possible, the City deal with outside consultants for services, such as property agents, on a part-time or as-needed basis Wherever possible. Further, Councilman Seymour felt that the re-direction would require a ne~v communication process involvin[; the people \-mo will be affected by the program, i.e., the Redevelopment Department, the new Executive Director, the Community Redevelopment Commission. the Project Area rommittee,(PAC) and the Redevelopment Agency. He proposed that a steering committee be appointed to direct these efforts, comprised of two Council Members, a representative from the ~om1'lUnity Redevelopment Commission, the new Executive Director, to be imme- diately recruited, and the City 'Manager on an as-needed basis. Their respon- sibility would be to act as a communication force and to become the motivating force to insure that progress is made. In addition, there should be a direct liason between the new Executive Director and the Redevelopment Agency for policy-making decisions to accelerate matters. Councilman Seymour also felt it necessary that members of the Redevelopment A~ency, the Community Redevelopment Commission, the reconstituted Redevelopment Department, and PAC meet with representatives of businesses and with residents in the redevelopment area and question their interests in par- 11 n_"_~_. 7 fi_44.1 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 221 1 Q7f11 1: 3f) r. H. ticipating in the program, explaining what tools the Redevelopment Agency has available to assist them in the role they choose to play. If one expresses no interest whatsoever in redevelopment participation, that decision should he accepted. Councilman Seymour moved that a steering committee for the redevelopment effort be created to include the Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem, to initiate the pro- cess of the redevelopment program re-direction, meeting with the people affected. with final details to be worked out at a later date. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. In response to question by Councilman Roth as to how this proposal relates to the proposed budget, Councilman Seymour explained that the budget must be adopted by the eftd of June. which would allow another week for other Council ~ember9 to consider his proposal prior to voting on the budget. MOTION CARRIED. ~r. Fernald advised that the City Council would have the complete support and cooperation of himself and the entire Redevelopment staff in this major change in policy. Mr. David Collins, 1077 W. Ball Road. real estate broker, was recognized by Mayor Thorn and advised that he has had business dealings in the downtown redevelopment area since 1952 and has watched the area decline. He expressed the hope that any redevelopment would not be accomplished only on a partial basis, and he cited other cities where shopping malls had been initiated with little or no success. Mr. Collins spoke in favor of the current redevelopment plan in terms of its drama and excitement and was of the opinion that this City should plan to redevelop the area in an exciting manner to be of service to the people in the community. He further felt that plans for transportation facilities should be developed concurrently with land use planning and expressed concern that new residential facilities be constructed so that tenants of older real estate could be relocated rather than forced to move away by destruction of buildings. He favored re-routing of streets where necessary to avoid the problems of street excavations in the redevelopment area because of old utility lines which must be replaced. Councilman Seymour stated he shared the concerns expressed by Hr. Collins and pointed out that the research and expenditures made in evolving the exist- ing redevelopment plan were necessary in order to arrive at this point. In attempting to read the pulse of the citizens from the standpoint of an elected official. he arrived at the decision to make the recommendation for a re- direction of the program. In his opinion. the Laserium Theater and the Space Park and ~1u.eum proposed by the American Space Institute should be developed in the City's commercial recreation area rather than downtown at the price of destroyiny a residential area. He recognized the importance of transportation and the necessity that something must be done to improve Lincoln Avenue, but the needs may change dramatically if there is a de-emphasis created through commercial development. as opposed to traffic pattern needs for residential. Mr. Collina felt that in order to increase the value of the area, it should be made accessible to the freeway; further, if the district was to be anything more thaft a community service-commercial type center. there should be better connectors to the Disneyland area as well. Councilman Roth pointed out that any plan must have the support of the people. Councilman Seymour summarized his view of Mr. Talley's report made at the beginning of this continued budget hearing. noting that additional revenues had been produced by a re-analY8i8 of the propoøed budget; however. in order to keep electrical retail rates at 95~ of those charged by Southern California Edison Company, an additional sum of $367.295 must be found. An $851.000 list was submitted by Mr. Talley from which selected items proposed to be included in the budget could be removed to produce the additional sum, and by doing so, the City Council could retain the 95~ figure for electrical rates. IT .~_." 7 F -I, ¿!.. ('ity Hall, Anahdm, California - Cnl!"'H",IL MINUTES - June 22, lo7fi. 1:1n P.~1. It was sup,gestf>.d by Councilman Seymour that the City Council adopt a rto]icv of a Six-Month hlrinr freeze with provision for proper appeal channels, and that the capital improvements proposed on the ~AS1,nnn list he reviewed, an~ either priorities he assigned or that the improvements he set aside until !<1f1uarv 1.1°77. At th;¡t tiMe, depending on the status of the F.òison rates amI ('ity revenues, these improvements could be reinstated. This course of action would ensure that the City could hold the line on the retail electrical rates. and possibly would create a surplus in revenues. ~r. Talley concurred, however he pointed out that some of the listed inprovements represent areas where policy direction from the Council Ÿ1O11ld he needed. TIe called attention to the fact that ~'~fi,nnn of the ~3~7,2Q5 is needed due to the anticipated collection of less revenue in park development fees dlITing the coming year and. in his opinion, the General Fund should not suffer the penalty of makine up that loss. Fe noted certain items on the list could he deferred. such as the fixed asset accounting system. ':'he proposed 6- P1onth hiring free7..e could make np an estimated ~l~f)n,nf)n; however, it was his preference to defer to January I, 1977, the ~Q5,f)no accounting system, and counting the estimated park-site development fees of ~165,nnn, this would leave approximately $lnn,nOn to be derived from other improvements on the list, as he could envision problems with limited personnel in safety employees and revenue ~enerating areas. At the invitation of Councilman Seymour, James D. Ruth, Director of the Parks. Recreation and the Arts Department, addressed the Council advising that the Department has sufficient other projects in the proposed budget, that deferring more than ~lnn,nn() in park improvements until January 1, 1977, could f.¡e easily accomplished. The ~10dj eska Community Center and the development of Pamela Park could proceed as projected. ~ouncilwoman Kaywood IToved that public nearing on the proposed 1q7fi-77 Rud¡:!et he continued to June 29, 1C)7n, 7:30 P.M.
