.
BICYCLE MOTO CROSS: James Ruth, Director of the Parks, Recreation and the Arts
Department reported on the research he and his staff had conducte~ along with the
Parks and Recreation Commission, relative to the feasibility of developing a bicycle
moto cross facility in the City of Anaheim as outlined in his memorandum dated
December 21, 1976. He explained that the possibility was explored of incorporating
the moto cross facility with the Skateboard Park at Ball Road and Harbor Boulevard,
but the location was rejected in favor of an alternate site at Orangewood and Rampart
Streets; the latter site considered to be one having a minimum effect on the surround-
ing property. He indicated that the moto cross course would only utilize two to four
acres of the 14.9 Park site and designed in such a manner so that the course would
be built farthest, away from the adjacent property and surrounded by a park. He
also stated that major activity would occur on weekends in that on weekdays, the
course would be opened free of charge to permit practice.
Councilman Seymour stated that he strongly supported the proposed activity as well
as the fashion in which such proposals were formulated because there was no cost to
the taxpayer. He was concerned, however, that the proposed location would not
serve the youth of Anaheim because they would have to be driven to the sit~ whereas
it was more accessible to the Cities of Garden Grove and Orange. He requested,
therefore, that other alternater sites be explored that would better serve the
citizens of Anaheim.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom, 'authorization was
given to the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department to solicit propOsals for a
Bicycle (non-motorized) Moto Cross at Orangewood and Rampart Streets and other
alternate sites more accessible to the citizens of Anaheim. MOTION CARRIED.
HEALTH PLAN MONTHLY FEES - RETIRED EMPLOYEES: City Manager Talley presented report
dated December 20, 1976, from Personnel Director McRae explaining the substantial
increase in cost to retired employees for medical health insurance anticipated for
1977.
Councilman Roth explained that he received several calls from retired City employees
and some about to retire who were concerned relative to the increase. He therefore
requested that the matter be continued for two weeks, during which time staff could
ascertain the difference in cost if, instead of the present $50.00, the deductible
was raised to $100.00.
The Mayor agreed that by raising the deductible, the premium could probably be
lowered. He further indicated that he understood the concerns of the Employee
Associations in how escalating costs impacted retired employees. The only other
alternative would be to have the taxpayer absorb the cost and the Mayor stated
that was something the Council could not do; therefore, any compromise would be
beneficial.
Because the Health Plan was a self-funded program, Mr. Ta!ley explained that the
City would have to absorb an increase of $4,000.00 if the rates were not approved
during the two week interim.
On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman SeymoUr, 'health plan monthly
fees for 1977, for retired employees were approved and staff instructed to submit
a report in two weeks with alternate rates relative to the difference in cost with
a higher deductible factor. MOTION CARRIED.

DECREASE IN CERTAIN ELECTRICAL RATES RECOMMENDED BY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD:
As outlined in report dated December 21, 1976, Mr. Ken Keesee,-Chairman of the
Public Utilities Board, stated that Resolution No. PUB76-3, adopted December 16,
1976, recommended that the City Council reduce electric rates 5% for all residential
and commercial consumers in the GS-1A rate effect£v~Decem~er 29, 19~6. He explained
that all other commercial,.industrial, agricultural, municipal and street lighting
consumers would remain at their present rates. Exhibit Nos. 1 through 5 of the
subject report (on file in the City Clerk's office) provided extensive background
data relative to the decrease including report dated December 16, 1976, (Exhibit 3)
from Utilities Direc~r Hoyt which presented information on the present electric
rate situation. In the final analysis, the decrease amounted to $1.07 to the average
residential consumer using 500 kilowatt hours of electricity a month.
In answer to Councilwoman Kaywood, Utilities Director Gordon Hoyt, explained as of
January 1, 1977, an environmental impact report would be required relative to rate
changes. He explained, however, that he was working in Sacramento to introduce a bill
to eliminate EIR requirements for rate changes by public bodies, which he would subse-
quently be asking the Council to support. Mr. Hoyt further explained that relative
to rate changes, Southern California Edison could more easily facilitate such a
change before a public body could effect a change.
ENVIRONMENTAL.. IMpAcT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION. On motion by Councilman
Kote, seconded'by C0~'~cilman Roth, the City Council finds that this project
will nave no significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, exempt from
the requsrement t° prepare an enV±ronmental impact report. MOTION CARRIED.

OELKERS SUBSTATION 3750 KVA TRANSFORMER: Report dated December 17, 1976, from the
Utilities Department recommended approval of repair and rewinding by the General
Electric Apparatus Service of the subject transformer which was damaged in the
November 27-28, 1976, wind storm. Relative to this request, Councilman Kott
questioned the cost of $3,000 for a short circuit redesign test which, in his
opinion, was excessive.
Mr. Hoyt explained that with the redesign tesg it would be possible to ascertain
the short circuit withstand capability of the transformer so that the necessary
design modification could be incorporated in the repair.
MOTION: Councilman Kott moved to approve the rewind and repair of the Oelkers
Substation transformer in the amount of $27,400.00, eliminating the short
circuit redesign test. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. The motion
failed to carry by the following vote:

The Mayor declared Resolution No. 76R-818 duly passed and adopted.
Mr. Hoyt, relative to such agreements as authorized in the foregoing Resolution,
suggested that since they were routine agreements if the Council were receptive,
a resolution could be drawn up authorizing someone in the Utilities Department to
execute same.
Councilman Roth stated that Mr. Hoyt's suggestion would be an appropriate topic
of discussion when the Council and department heads met in January.
PREMIUM TIME TO EXEMPT EMPLOYEES IN EXCEPTIONAL CASES: City Manager Talley explained
that on November 1%,1975, a resolution was adopted (75R-590) allowing premium time
to exempt employees under certain conditions. Under their same date, the then City
Manager restricted the payment of premium time only to services rendered during labor
disputes. Mr. Talley was now requesting the authority to amend the previous City
Manager's directive of November 11, 1975, to extend the payment of premium time to
exempt employees in extremely exceptional circumstances, such as those experienced
during the Thanksgiving weekend wind storm.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Manager
was authorized to permit premium time to exempt employees in extremely exceptional
cases, thereby amending the previous City Manager's directive of November 11, 1975.

izing the Director of the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department to execute

out prior Council action. Also submitted were proposed model contract forms
prepared for City Council approval which were applicable in three types of cases;
professional services, instructors, and consulting services.
Councilman Kott posed a number of questions regarding the content of the proposed
contractual forms and discussion followed with staff relative to the ramifications
contained therein.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Roth, approval of the
proposed model contract forms for the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department
was continued for two weeks to allow Councilman Kott to work with the Parks, Recrea-
tion and Arts Department and City Attorney on the finalization of the subject forms.

relative to a proposed amendment to the existing lease agreement with Richard and
Margaret Duffy incorporating the requested time extension of the lessee's obliga-
tion to construct additional rooms until January 11, 1978. Councilman Kott took
issue with the fact that since no penalty was involved, the lessees could continue
to reapply for such extensions.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 76R-819 for adoption. Refer to Resolution

RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PARKING IN RESI. DENTIAL AREAS' Regarding the pro-
posed ordinance restricting the hours of parking of commercial vehicles in residen-
tial areas, Councilman Seymour suggested that in order to preclude a rebuff by
citizens, because of lack of notification, before final adoption of the ordinance
took place, that proper publicity be initiated. He recommended the assistance of
the press in publishing the fact that such an ordinance was proposed and in all
probability would be adopted.
City Attorney Hopkins confirmed for Councilwoman Kaywood that the ordinance dealt
with the restriction of parking of commercial type vehicles in residential areas.
Such parking on private property would be a special situation and handled in a
different manner. The proposed ordinance referred to parking on roadways.
ORDINANCE NO. 3638: Councilman Thom offered Ordinance No. 3638 for first reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 3638' AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 14,

CITY-OwNED PROPERTY - 7~! NORTH EUCLID .STREET' (Sewell) In answer to Councilman
Kott's inquiry relat'iVe to the status of the subject property, City Attorney
Hopkins explained that a Notice At Issue Memorandum had been filed in Superior
Court which was the last step necessary in requesting the Court to set a trial
date, following which~the City would proceed with unlawful detainer action. He
further stated that the unlawful detainer would be filed against Mr. Sewell as well
as the Heritage Bank, the present occupant of the premises.

City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 28~ 1976~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Kott stated that he received a call from a member of the Board of the
occupants of the property who indicated that the Chairman of the Board was negotiat-
ing terms with the City Manager and wished to discuss these terms with him (Kott).
Since he was not aware of any such negotiations, he asked Mr. Talley what had
transpired.
Mr. Talley explained that the extent of negotiations with the Heritage Bank,
relative to their desire to secure the property, was a conversation with the Chair-
man indicating that after the requested appraisal of the property was received,
expected to be the middle of January, the City would then be prepared to discuss
the sale. Numbers were discussed but only from the Bank's point of what they would
like to pay. No price was quoted back because there was no support to do so, either
from Council action or an appraisal to engage in any further discussions. The extent
of negotiation had merely been an expression on the part of the Bank and direction
on the part of the Council to secure an appraisal.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that he had no contact concerning negotiations other
than a letter which indicated there was some desire on the part of the bank to
engage in negotiations but nothing of any substance.
Councilman Seymour explained that he was also contacted, but the extent of the
contact was as Mr. Talley stated. However, Heritage Bank had entered into escrow
on the purchase of property immediately adjoining the City-owned property to the
north. Although they did not need the property owned by the City, they would be
interested in purchasing it if the City was interested in selling it at a reasonable
fair price. Councilman Seymour indicated his support for the sale of the property
when the fair price was determined. He remarked on the fact that when the property
was purchased in 1969, the price was exorbitant and could not have had the value
at which it was purchased and that price did not set the current market value. He
therefore suggested that the City Manager be instructed not to further any negotia-
tions on the sale of the property to anybody else because no one was going to pay the
price the City paid for it in 1969. He was of the opinion that if the Council was
willing to dispose of the excess property, then the taxpayers would be best served
by selling it at a fair price which he estimated to be worth between $4.00 and $5.00
per square foot.
Councilman Kott took issue with Councilman Seymour's assessment of the mmtter as
he did not know how the sale could best serve the taxpayer if the City sold the
property for less than it paid for it seven years prior as this would constitute
a loss.
Council discussion indicated that the proper course of action would be to wait
until the present appraisal was complete. Councilman Kott, however, stated
that he would not sell the property for less than what the City paid for it.
Councilman Roth was interested in getting the property back on the tax rolls, as
well as all such surplus property not in present or anticipated use, to be
sold. He did not want to be bound because of an error made by the City Council
in 1969.
Further discussion followed at the conclusion of which the Mayor indicated that he
would revert back to his original position and not sell the property for less than
it was purchased.
Councilman Seymour stated that he would also not approve the sale for less than the
City paid for the land, but suggested that some investigation be made relative to
how and why a totally irrelevant appraisal was made in 1969, wherein, some other
reasons might be discovered to permit him to change his opinion to sell the property
for its worth and not what it was valued at in 1969.
Councilman Kott stated that he would provide such information at the next meeting.
It was confirmed that the City Manager should continue to obtain the requested
appraisal.
On motion by Councilman Kott, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City Attorney was
instructed to continue litigation on the subject property and no negotiations were
to be instituted relative to the sale of the property for any amount less than that
which the City paid for it until so notified to do otherwise. To this motion
Councilwoman Kaywood and Councilman Roth voted "No". MOTION CARRIED.

Miss Santalahti described the location and surrounding land uses. She outlined
the findings given in the staff report which was submitted to and considered by

The Mayor asked if the Applicant or Applicant's Agent was present and desirous
of being heard.
Mr. Dale Ingram, P.O. Box 5922, E1 Monte, Agent for the Applicant, indicated he

out that the bachelor units approved were approximately 100 square feet larger than
those the City permitted and that the variety of units proposed could accommodate

Councilwoman Kaywood clarified that the property to the north could, in the future,
be utilized for a Transportation Center and asked Mr. ingram to stipulate that if

1. That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with
plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim marked Exhibit No. 1;
provided, however, that the fence height in the required front yard shall be a
maximum of 42 inches; and that structural design plans for the 8-foot high wall
in the required rear yard shall be submitted to the Building Division for approval
prior to the issuance of a building permit, said wall to meet all Building Code
requirements for a structural wall, as stipulated to by the petitioner.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by Joseph B. Edwards, Agent
for the Applicant and public hearing scheduled this date.
Miss Santalahti described the location and surrounding land uses. She outlined
the findings given in the staff report which was submitted to and considered by
the City Planning Commission.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant or Applicant's Agent was present and desirous
of being heard. There was no response.
The Mayor then asked if anyone else wished to be heard.
Mr. William Lassiter, 1302 Oriole Street, an adjacent resident, spoke in opposi-
tion to the chain link fence in the front of the Applicant's property proposed
to be extended to 48-inches in height. Mr. Lassiter stated that it was already
4 feet 3 inches high with metal protruding from the top. He also explained that
the existing rear wall proposed to be extended to 8 feet in height would decrease
the value of his property. He was, however, objecting only to the front fence.
The City Clerk stated that a telephone-call was received from the Applicant's Agent,
Mr. Joseph Edwards, on December 23, 1976, requesting that the item be continued
inasmuch as one of the waivers was not included in the legal notice mailed to the
individuals in the area, although both waivers were included in the published
legal notice.
Councilman Seymour, thereupon, moved to continue public hearing on Variance No. 2870
to January 18, 1977. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1662' Application submitted by John
Priem, to permit on-sale liquor in a lodge on CL zoned property located at 821
South Brookhurst Street.

the Planning Director has determined that the proposed activity falls within the
definition of Section 3.01, Class 1, of the City of Anaheim Guidelines to the
requirements for an environmental impact report and is, therefore, categorically
exempt from the requirement to file an EIR and, further, recommended that Condi-
tional Use Permit No. 1662 be granted subject to the following conditions:
1. That any existing illegal signs on subject property shall be removed prior
to the commencement of the activity authorized under this resolution.
2. That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with
plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim marked Exhibit Nos. 1
and 2.

City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES - December .28~. 1976~ 1'30 P.M.
Miss Santalahti described the location and surrounding land uses. She outlined
the findings given in the staff report which was submitted to and considered by
the City Planning Commission.
Councilman Seymour explained that he asked that the matter to be set for public
hearing because of Condition No. 3 of PC76-227, imposing a condition on the appli-
cant which in actuality would be illegal for him to carry out since the illegal
signs required to be removed under Condition No. 3 were not owned or controlled by
the Applicant.
City Attorney Hopkins confirmed that if the Council wanted to approve the Condi-
tional Use Permit, the only way they could do so would be to eliminate Condition
No. 3.
Miss Santalahti explained first that the signs were illegal because no building
permits were issued and, as well, the owner of one of the sign panels refused to
move the sign.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant or Applicant's Agent were present and wished to
be heard.
Mr. Patrick F. Gallup, 1724 West Catalpa, Agent and Secretary of the West Anaheim
Moose Lodge, explained that he did manage to get approval from the five other
people to allow him to remove their signs, however, at his expense and labor. He
emphasized that the owners of the batting cage consistently and adamantly refused to
remove their sign, the only one remaining. He requested permission to start
functioning as a Lodge and subsequently the City take whatever steps might be
determined necessary against the owners of the illegal sign and not penalize the
Lodge since they had done the best they could in eliminating the problem.
Discussion followed relative to the historical background concerning the signs and
the different owners involved, at the conclusion of which Councilman Seymour recom-
mended that the Council approve Mr. Gallup's request to conduct his business while
on the other hand enforce the applicable sign ordinance against the now existing
property owners regarding the remaining sign.
There being no further persons who wished to address the Council, the Mayor closed
the public hearing.

Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City Council ratified the
determination of the Planning Director that the proposed activity falls within

DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS' AWARD FOR SANTA ANA CANYON TASK FORCE: Councilman Seymour
stated that since the Santa Ana Canyon Task Force was concluding its efforts, he
considered it appropriate that the members of that Task Force be given a special
distinguished citizens' award of the type presented to retiring employees, but
laminated rather than framed. He emphasized that it was in order to recognize
the numerous hours of unpaid volunteer time devoted by the Task Force Members.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the Public Informa-
ton Officer was instructed to prepare appropriate distinguished citizens' awards
for the Members of the Santa Ana Canyon Task Force. MOTION CARRIED.
MEETING WITH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE - PRINTED MATERIAL' Councilman~Seymour stated
that since the prior meeting when he and Councilman Kott had been appointed to
negotiate with the Chamber of Commerce relative to the alleged sum of money
the Chamber owed the City, he (Seymour) conferred with the City Attorney regarding
a possible conflict of interest since, during his term of office as President
of the Chamber of Commerce he signed a contract on behalf of the Chamber with the
City. The City Attorney assured him, however, there would be no conflict of
interest. Councilman Seymour expressed a concern that there may be political
allegations which he did not see the need for encountering and, therefore, asked
to be dismissed and someone else appointed to serve in his place.
Councilman Kott stated that he would like to have a disinterested party serve who
had no ties with the Chamber either as a member or otherwise.
Councilman Roth was a member of the Chamber. Councilwoman Kaywood indicated that
she had been a life member of the Women's Division until she resigned in order to
meet with the Chamber to improve the relationship between the City and the Chamber,
after which she was not asked to serve again. She had, therefore, reinstated her
membership.
Councilman Kott indicated that if the Mayor was not a member of the Chamber, he
would be the most likely person to serve in place of Councilman Seymour.
Mayor Thom agreed to serve and set a meeting with the City Manager, City Attorney.,
Councilman Kott and himself with the Chamber for 3:30 p.m., January 5, 1977.
CHURCH OF ANAHEIM: Councilman Kott explained that he had received a number of
calls about the Situation surrounding the Church of Anaheim and asked the City
Attorney what they, as Council Members, could do regarding the parking, traffic
and all other proble~ that people in the neighborhood were encountering.
City Attorney Hopkins stated that, as directed by the Council, a meeting was held
with the head of the church, Mr. Max Rappaport, and his associates along with the
City's Zoning Enforcement Officer and several other City Department Officials.
They reviewed the entire matter, the results of which were reported in a memo.dated
December 7, 1976, by Assistant'City Attorney Frank Lowry, Wherein it was stated that
no violations of the law could be found. The heads of the Church also agreed to
cooperate in every way possible to make certain there were no such violations.

City Hall, Anaheim, .California- COUNCIL MINUTES .- December 28.~ !976, 1'30 P.M.
Mr. Hopkins explained further that he had checked with the Fire Department to see
if any fire regulations were being violated. Relative to capacity, Building Code
violations were not in existence, and the Zoning Enforcement Officer was not able
to pinpoint precise violations. Unless it were ascertained that there were viola-
tions of the law, the City could not take any action. He emphasized that the
residents of the area were unhappy about the activities of the Church.
Councilman Seymour indicated it was his understanding that the Church had entered
into an agreement with Trident Junior High School to use the school parking lot
in order to mitigate parking problems during conventions or regional type meetings.
Miss Santalahti confirmed that agreements had been signed and that schools will
sign such agreements for off-hours parking.
Mr. Hopkins stated that he would submit copies of the report dat. ed December 7,
1976, to the Council as some members had indicated they had not yet received
their copy and, as well, copies would be sent to the concerned residents.
The City Clerk stated that the report was already in the process of being mailed
to the residents.
APPOINTMENT OF NEW PLANNING COMMISSIONER: Due to the vacancy left on the City
Planning Commission by the resignation of Mr. Floyd Farano on his appointment
to the Orange County Planning Commission, Mayor Thom nominated Mr. Amin David, Jr.,
419 South Colt Avenue, to fill Mr. Farano's unexpired term. He explained that
Mr. David's business was Regal Products Inc., 538 East Central Park Avenue, and
that he was a figure not unfamiliar to the City in that his contributions included
the institution of the Police Community Relations Committee, his present service
on the Library Board (from which he would be resigning upon appointment to the
Planning Commission), as well as his work on the Orange CoUnty Human Relations
Commission. He emphasized that relative to the Police Community Relations
Committee, Mr. David's accomplishments had brought recognition not only to
the City of Anaheim but also throughout Southern California as one of the most
effective Public Relations Programs for the Police Department to have engaged in,
and it was a singular accomplishment since Mr. David conceived the idea and brought
about its implementation.
The Mayor explained for the press that Mr. David was of Mexicar~-~merican descent
and Lebanese extraction and that his work with the minority community, was out-
standing.
Councilman Roth stated that while he had the pleasure of meeting Mr'.. David, it
was his opinion that Anaheim, as did other cit. ies, should solicit the general
public in submitting letters on their qualifications when vacancies occurred
on Commissions in order to gain a broader coverage. Therefore, Councilman Roth
abstained from voting on the proposed appointment.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Amin David, Jr.
was appointed to the City Planning Commission to fill the unexpired term of Commis-
sioner Farano, term ending 6-30-80. Councilman Roth abstained from voting.
MOTION CARRIED.
