RELOCATION OF FREDERICK LITTLE HOUSE: Councilman Roth asked staff status of the Frederick Little House in view of Planning Director Thompson's memorandum dated September 28, 1976 wherein it was stated that a moving permit was granted on'con- dition that the necessary approval be obtained from the City Attorney's Office as well as in accordance with Council action of September 21~ 1976, stipulating that a hold-harmless agreement be secured 'from Mr. Art Shipkey before the move took place. Assistant City Attorney Hopkins explained that a hold-harmless agreement for Mr. Shipkey was given to Mr. Deneau on Monday, September 27, 1976, instead of Wednesday, September 22, 1976, but thus far it had not been returned. Mayor Thom explained that Mr. Deneau brought to him for signature a hold-harmless agreement from the City to Mr. Shipkey prepared by Mr. LoWry, which he understood was a one-way agreement; in Mr. Lowry's opinion, the City was not going to get a signed agreement from Mr. Shipkey, nor was it necessary because one negated the other. Mayor Thom voiced his opinion that, in all probability, the City w~uld not get an agreement from Mr. Shipkey holding the City harmless. 76-696 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 28, 1976, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Hopkins indicated that staff had prepared the second hold-harmless agreement as instructed by Council and that he would inquire as to its status.

PETITION FOR STOP SIGNS - ORANGE AVENUE AND NUTWOOD STREET: Mayor Thom referred to report dated September 16, 1976 from the City Engineer recommending that stop signs not be installed for use as speed control devices in answer to a petition from homeowners requesting the installation of a four-way stop on Orange Avenue at Nutwood, and also on Orange Avenue between Euclid and Brookhurst Street. The Mayor pointed out two statements that were emphasized in the subject report indicating that stop signs, when misused as speed control regulations, cause very serious collisions due to the unsuspected locations, as well as the fact that locations with four-way stop signs experience a higher rate of collisions than intersections with only two-way stops. The Mayor invited any homeowners to speak on the matter. Norma Mashburn, 507 South Nutwood, explained that her daughter was involved in a hit-and-run accident at the Orange Avenue and Nutwood intersection on August 24, 1976, while on her way to Parks and Recreation activities at Clara Barton Elementary School, and since there have been a multitude of accidents at that corner, something had to be done. Mrs. Mashburn further explained that there was only one crosswalk between Euclid and Brookhurst Street on Orange, and the many children in the neighborhood, especially the students from Clara Barton, would not walk the extra distance down to Agate Street where the only crosswalk is located. Mrs. Mashburn commented that although the speed limit on Orange Avenue is 35 MPH, traffic moved much faster and there was nothing to deter motorists from traveling at a higher rate of speed since stop signs had previously been removed at the subject location. In speaking with one of the City's traffic engineers, Mrs. Mashburn was of the opinion that enough accidents have been reported to warrant something being done. She reiterated that the main concern of homeowners was the protection of their children and that while traffic control was very important, it was necessary to provide a safer, more convenient place to cross the street. Mayor Thom stated that although he could understand the position of the City Engineer, when people in a neighborhood feel that stop signs are necessary for the protection of their children, he was compelled to concur with their requests. Councilwoman Kaywood, while she empathized with the request of the homeowners, stressed that a crosswalk alone gives a false sense of security to the pedes- trian thereby causing more accidents, and in this case would make it a more hazardous corner because of the uneven intersecting streets. 76-697 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 28, 1976, 1:30 P.M. Councilwoman Kaywood voiced the opinion that when work is finished on the Broadway storm drain the rate of traffic on Orange would decrease since motorists would then revert to using Broadway Street again. Mrs. Mashburn stated that traffic had not noticeably increased because of the storm drain construction; however, since the signal light was installed at Broadway and Agate Street, traffic had increased on Orange because it was a through street with no hinderances. Councilman Roth stated that he would prefer to have the Police Department enforce the speed laws on Orange Avenue rather than endangering lives by the installation of stop signs that would increase the amount of accidents. Mrs. Mashburn stressed that students, especially, have to have someplace else to cross Orange Avenue other than at Agate Street and that more than a crosswalk was needed to do this safely. In answer to Councilman Roth, Mr. Maddox said that he did not have with him specific facts and figures on the number of accidents which have occurred at the intersection in question, but these could be obtained readily. Mayor Thom stated that he would like to see a four-way stop installed, but suggested that the matter be continued for one week in order to compile additional statistics for Council review and action at that time. Assistant City Manager Hopkins stated that since it was more of a traffic control situation than anything else, that an increased enforcement program be initiated by the Police Department. By general consent, the City Council continued the request for stop signs at Orange Avenue and Nutwood Street for one week for additional report and recommen- dations by the City Engineer. CROSSWALK DENIAL - EDEN ROC RETIREMENT CENTER: Mayor Thom asked if anyone was in the Chamber to represent the residents at Eden Roc Retirement Center in their request for reconsideration of the denial for a crosswalk at mid-block on Ball Road in front of the retirement center. Reverend Joseph B. King, spokesman and resident at Eden Roc, expressed the urgent need for a crosswalk in front of the center to facilitate access to the hospital, drug store, supermarket and other commercial entities across Ball Road which are utilized by Eden Roc residents. He explained that since many of the residents were elderly and disabled, it was too difficult for them to cross Ball Road by walking down to the light at Knott Avenue and returning via the same route, which encompassed a total of approximately 2400 feet traveling distance. Reverend King, therefore, respectfully requested that something be done to assist Eden Roc residents in solving this problem. Mr. Santo Scorqe~l~ also a resident at Eden Roc, explained that he had been hit by a vehicle approximately five months previously while attempting to cross Ball Road in front of the Center and, as a result, had spent three months in the hospital. Mr. $corcello requested that the Council consider the installation of a crosswalk at that location. Mayor Thom stated that he was sympathetic with the Eden R0c residents but the position of the City Engineer in recommending denial of the request was that crosswalks create a measure of safety in an individual when in actuality that safety factor is not there, since motorists do not pay sufficient attention to prevent injuries to pedestrians. He stressed that a crosswalk is only a small margin of safety in that if crossings were made in front of the center with or without a crosswalk, the residents would be endangering their lives. Councilman Roth voiced his concern about the safety of the residents and explained that he was sympathetic with their situation; however, he referred to a report recently received from the City of San Diego wherein an extensive study was made 76-698 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 28, 1976, 1:30 P.M. specifically on accidents where pedestrians were struck by autos, the results of which showed that most of these accidents occurred in crosswalks. Councilman Roth was concerned that if the crosswalks were installed as requested, it was important for the residents to be aware that such a move would be a disservice and an avid danger rather than one providing a convenience for Eden Roc residents. Councilwoman Kaywood agreed with Councilman Roth adding that since elderly and disabled people were involved, it would be even more difficult traversing Ball ~Dad mid-block across six lanes while contending with the high rate of speed on that road. She was also of the opinion that the management of Eden Roc had a responsibility in that they built the retirement community a distance away from the corner, and it was incumbent upon them to provide some means or service for their residents so that they might cross the street safely. Further Council discussion ~evolved around the dangers that would be involved if a crosswalk were to be installed, at the conclusion of which Mayor Thom indicated they would be amenable to first, providing Reverend King with a copy of the accident report study made by the City of San Diego so that residents could digest the implications of a crosswalk installation and, secondly, that Reverend King discuss the matter with the Eden Roc management to possibly have someone on their staff attend the City's traffic guard school to assist resi- dents in crossing if a crosswalk is installed or providing some other means of safe crossing for residents. By general Council consent, the matter was continued for three weeks for further discussion and subsequent action. STREET NAME CHANGE - "HENNING WAY": On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City Council determined that the street name "Henning Way" will remain unchanged in light of communication from street residents advising they wished the street to remain'Henning Way" and as recommended by the Planning Department in their report of September 28, 1976.

Mayor Thom inquired into the status of previous Council action wherein an ordi- nance Was to be prepared attempting to impose a business license fee upon pollsters of audience measurement firms as a means to bring about separate con- sideration by these firms. Deputy City Attorney Lowry indicated that preliminary work had been started on the proposed ordinance; however, due to the reported commit/nent by Arbitron and as suggested by Councilwoman Kaywood, fUrther action would not be continued but rather held in abeyance for possible future action if found to be necessary. NEW STATE BUILDING - I.EAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: Councilwoman Kaywood indicated that the League of California Cities, in their endeavor to build a new State building in Sacramento, submitted a breakdown of assessments for all cities so as to finance the project: each city being assessed according to size Anaheim's assessment is $15,620. ' Councilwoman Kaywood requested Council preference between the two proposed methods of finance so that the preferred method could be supported at the forthcoming annual League Conference. She explained that a one-time payment for Anaheim, due before August, 1977, would be $14,058, whereas the three-year payment plan would be $5,200 per year. Mayor Thom and Councilman Roth indicated their preference for the three-year plan, as it would not impose any undue financial hardship on the City. Further duscussion indicated that no contractual agreement was involved, and if financing were to become part of the Anaheim budgetary process, it would not be due in the current fiscal year. Mayor Thom emphasized that Council action was only to support One of the League's proposed methods of financing, that being the three-year Payment plan, and such action was necessary, as explained by Councilwoman Kaywood, so that it could be discussed at the League COnference. On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Roth, the City Council agreed to support the three-year payment plan at the forthcoming League of California Cities conference as the preferred method of financing a new State building. Councilmen Seymour and Kott were absent. MOTION CARRIED. 76-708 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINTUE~ - ~eptember 28, 1976, 1:30 P.M. LEGISLATIVE REVIEW SYSTEM: Councilwoman Kaywood referred to the legislative review system used by the City of Placentia and inquired of Council whether or not such a system might be adopted by the City of Anaheim whereby someone would be responsible to review all current and proposed legislation, since the impact and importance to the City was so great, especially the financial aspect.. Deputy City Attorney Lowry confirmed that legislative review was presently the responsibility of the City Attorney's Office when time permitted. Assistant City Attorney Hopkins reported that the City was in the proceSs of securing a legislative analyst to assist in this important area. PARAMEDICS FUNDING: Councilwoman Kaywood explained that at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the League of California Cities, Orange County Division, there was a discussion concerning the County-wide area for paramedics funding. She stated there was a great deal of confusion because many of the cities were of the impression that the County would be running the program, which would not be the case. Councilwoman Kaywood commented that Anaheim would be ahead to support the proposed program thereby not having to revert to the General Fund. Further C~uncil discussion indicated that any stands to be taken by the City regarding paramedics funding would be determined after additional facts were submitted by the League Task Force. REQUEST FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDmeNT - DA?.E L. INGRAM: Councilman Roth referred to a letter received from Mr. Dale Ingram requesting that property located at the northwest corner of Orangewood Avenue and Clementine Street be placed on the next General Plan Amendment hearing. City Clerk Roberts stated that the Ingram request was scheduled as Item No. 29 on the Council Agenda for October 5, 1976. BICYCLE LANES: Councilman Roth questioned staff concerning the rules and regula- tions with respect to driving a vehicle in the newly-established City bicycle lanes. He specifically referred to the bicycle lanes which he had observed being used by vehicles coming off of Lincoln and going onto the Route 57 Freeway South which, in his opinion, was a natural cause for vehicle traffic to enter the onramp. Deputy City Attorney Lowry indicated that the Police Department intended to enforce the use of all such bicycle lanes to exclude vehicles. Councilman Roth emphasized there was a need to educate the citizens of Anaheim that a summons would be issued for unlawful use of bicycle lanes by motorists. Public Information Officer Ken Clements stated that a release was being prepared announcing the final reading of the ordinance establishing bicycle lanes in the City of Anaheim. SISTER-CITY PROGRAM - MITO, JAPAN: Mayor Thom reported that 25 people were scheduled to visit Mito, Japan in November and that Mito had been notified of the forthcoming visit and was making arrangements for the formal reception of the Anaheim contingents. Mayor Thom explained, however, that since the time the Council approved Anaheim's participation in the sister-city program, which included an expenditure of $1,000 for mayoral trip expenses, an additional $500 was necessary to cover non-excursion air fare. The Mayor emphasized that he could only leave the country for six days and not two weeks, which fact was the reason for the noted increase. He stated that if the City was interested in the sister-city program, he would still make the trip upon Council approval of the additional expenditure. Councilman Roth asked that the matter be continued for one week for further Council action. By general consent, the matter was continued one week. 76-709 Ci..t~ Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 28, 1976, 1:30 P.M. ADJOURNMENT: Councilwoman Kaywood moved to adjourn.
