ORDINANCE NO. 3395: Councilman Thom offered Ordinance No. 3395 for first reading.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 6.70.010 - RELATING TO HOURS OF EXEMPTION - PERMITTED
NOISE LEVELS~ CONSTRUCTION AND/OR BUILDING REPAIR: Councilman Seymour reported
that in response to a number of citizens' complaints regarding the noise of
construction and repair activities, he has investigated and finds that the City
of Anaheim permits construction activity beginning at 6:00 a.m. and ending at
10:00 p.m. pursuant to Chapter 6.70.010.
In an attempt to alleviate this problem, Councilman Seymour related that
he further investigated alternative times and has found that amending the Code
to permit the increased noise levels relating to construction and repair activ-
ity between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. would create no adverse effect whatsoever.
In the interest of trying to create a more peaceful atmosphere for the citizens
therefore, he moved that the City Attorney's Office be instructed to draft an
amendment to Chapter 6.70.010 to provide that the sound created by construction
or building repair of any premises within the City be exempt from the applica-
tions of said Chapter during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Councilman
Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Discussion as to the effect of these revised hours indicated Council to be
in general agreement, but there should be a provision in the amended ordinance
which would permit emergency construction or repair and also that the contractor
performing street striping should be permitted to continue his current operation
during the late night hours because of the increased efficiency and lower costs
involved in performing that service with minimal traffic.
Public Works Director Thornton Piersall explained that he has discussed
the situation with other city contractors such as the residential and commercial
refuse collection services. The residential service has agreed to change their
hours to begin at 7:00 a.m., and the commercial refuse collector will attempt
to reschedule his routes to decrease noise adjacent to residential areas in the
early morning hours.
RECESS - EXECUTIVE SESSION: Councilman Pebley moved to recess to Executive
Session. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (4:10

MODIFICATION OF JOB CLASS - DRIVER CLERK; ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW JOB CLASSES -
MANPOWER SPECIALIST I AND II~ SYSTEMS PROGRAMMER AND RELOCATION SPECIALIST:
Personnel Director Garry McRae reported on the recommended modification of job
class Driver Clerk to upgrade same and the creation of new job classes -
Manpower Specialist I and II, Systems Programmer and Relocation Specialist.
In reply to Council questions, Mr. McRae advised that the Relocation
Specialist would be salaried through Redevelopment Funds; that they intend to
employ one Manpower Specialist, but have recommended creating two job classifi-
cations in order to provide some flexibility in the qualifications of the
individual to be hired, and that this indiviHual would be salaried through
Federal Title I Funds. The job classification of Systems Programmer is recom-
mended to correct an existing inequity in personnel organization. He further
reported that these job classifications, titles, wage rates and individual job
requirements are the culmination of discussions with both Department Heads and
City Manager's Office; that none of these positions were developed unilaterally
by the Personnel Department.
Additionally, Mr. McRae advised that in any of the Federal employment pro-
grams, the costs for benefits paid to these positions are also paid from the
particular Federal funds.

FEASIBILITY STUDY - USE OF DATA PROCESSING SERVICES FOR THE BUSINESS LICENSE
SECTION: Mr. Murdoch noted that pursuant to recommendations of Arthur Young &
Company presented at the Council meeting of January 7, 1975, a committee was
established to conduct a feasibility study on the use of data processing services
in the Business License Section. He noted that the report dated February 1975,
has been submitted to Council Members and that it concludes the automated system
is a feasible approach and sets forth in detail a plan for implementation of
same. He stated that if there are no Council objections, plans will be made to
move ahead with implementation as recommended in the report.
Mayor Thom commented that in comparison of this committee report with the
Arthur Young & Company recommendation, the latter indicates $20,000 per year
could be eliminated based on the deletion of two clerical positions, whereas the
report from the City Treasurer and committee does not speak to the elimination
of these two positions. He inquired whether the City Treasurer was planning to
achieve these savings in some other fashion.
During discussion of the proposed implementation process, Mr. Murdoch
replied that the City Treasurer indicates once the automated system is in opera-
tion and proves successful, then the two positions can be eliminated. However,
75-90
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 4~ 1975~. 1:30 P.M.
in the meantime, manual operations will have to continue for a period of time.
Also, precisely which two positions would be removed will require some analysis
of the structure of the Department and this will be conducted during the period
of implementation.
In reply to Councilman Seymour's proposal that the Council request a
report from the City Treasurer by July 1, 1975 as to the vacation of the two
clerical positions, additional discussion with Mr. Jim LeSieur of Arthur Young
& Company and the City Manager disclosed that there is a possibility that the
July 1, 1975 date might not be firm.
Councilman Seymour then amended his request that the City Treasurer report
by July 1, 1975 as to when the vacation of the two clerical positions will take
place and further report on the status of the complete complement of recommenda-
tions for transition to automation in that Division.
Councilman Seymour thereupon moved that the City Council accept the feasi-
bility study on use of Data Processing service in the Business License Division
with outline for implementation as clarified, i.e., report from the City
Treasurer to be submitted by July 1, 1975 as outlined above. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE PEOPLE'S CENT.ER~ INC. - ADULT OCCUPATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: Mr. Murdoch reported that documents are prepared, and
Mr. William Hepburn and other parties present to discuss the proposed agreement
between the City and the People's Center, Inc., which would employ this private
contractor to perform placement and counseling services for 50 individuals on
an incentive-pay basis. He apologized that there was no time to submit copies
to Council Members beforehand.
Mr. Wally Kyman, the People's Center, Inc., 1242 West Lincoln Avenue,
Anaheim, reported that this proposal was originally approved by the Orange
County Manpower Commission, but since it is to be conducted in the City of
Anaheim, they then felt that it should be under the auspices of the City's
Manpower effort. He advised that he intends, by using intensive counseling and
coordination of available social services, to place 50 unemployed individuals
with employment problems, such as criminal records, poor military service
records and/or problems in the community, into gainful employment. Mr. Kyman
described the program at the People's Center and advised that his personal goal
is to remove 1,000 people from the w~lfare rolls.
Councilman Seymour questioned why the existing governmental agencies and
organizations are not able to meet this need, and in reply Mr. Kyman indicated
that there seems to be difficulty in communication and actual delivery of
services from existing governmental agencies. In addition he noted that those
agencies do not perform vocational testing nor do they consider the entire
family unit for counseling and help as is done under his program.
Mr. Gerald Vind, City of Anaheim representative to the Orange County Man-
power Commission, explained that the proposed agreement would use $42,500 from
the $88,000 bonus which the City of Anaheim receives through its membership in
the Orange County Manpower Consortium. He related that it was felt best to
have the People's Center as one of the functional elements of the Anaheim
Comprehensive Employment Office, which operates through a separate site and
with a separate client entity and will be providing parallel services but not
.duplicating effort. He endorsed the project as a sound approach. He reported
that because of the number and types of governmental agencies attempting to
deliver social services, the efforts of these are very often fragmented, and
the situation such that the potential recipient spends most of his time estab-
lishing eligibility and locating the place from which to receive benefits.
Councilman Seymour remarked that his primary concern would be to avoid a
duplication of efforts but he strongly endorses the concept that private enter-
prise enter this field with compensation based upon actual results.
Mr. William Hepburn, Manpower Planner, commented in response to Councilman
Seymour's concern that this might represent a duplication of efforts, on the
difference in magnitude of this program. He advised that the Anaheim Recruitment
75-91
City HallI Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 4, 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Center processed 285 people during the month of January, whereas this program
would propose to place 50 people in the next five months. He related that this
highly intensive counseling approach, working with employers as well as employ-
ment candidates, is designed to assist that group of unemployed persons who
require much more assistance than help in finding a job. Mr. Hepburn reported
that it was through his office that the contract was revised to include the
performance measurement aspects.
Mr. Robert Davis, in answer to Council questions, reported that the term
of this agreement is five months, terminating June 30, 1975, with total expendi-
ture out of Manpower funds of $42,500. Further, that the contract calls for
the individual placed to have completed 90 days on the job prior to payment to
the People's Center and further specifies the amounts to be paid per enrollee
and per placement with maximums for each month.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-58: Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 75R-58 for
adoption.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT BUDGET - PUBLIC HEARING: Mr. Robert Davis reported
that a public meeting for those people representing the first year's Community
Development Act Project Area held recently disclosed that they desired one of
the public hearings on the proposed Community Development Act Budget be held in
the evening. Mr. Davis advised that these have been tentatively scheduled, but
not yet advertised, to be held February 11, and 18, 1975, at 2:30 P.M.
By general Council consent, it was determined that the public hearing on
Community Development Act Budget on February 18, 1975 be held at 7:00 P.M.
STUDY OF POLICE DEPARTMENT~ PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES COMMUNICATION FREQUENCIES~
MOTOROLA COMMUNICATIONS AND ELECTRONICS1 INC.: Mr. Robert Davis reported that
this proposal was originally to include the UHF Communications System designed
for the Police Department only, and it is proposed to eliminate problems occur-
ring in sections of the Santa Ana Canyon area with either a poor or non-existent
signal. He reported that the original plan has been amended and for an addi-
tional $1,200, it is proposed that Motorola include the Public Works and
Utilities frequencies in their investigation. He reported that the total
amount of the proposed agreement is now $5,700, which is available in the
current Budget.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the City
Council approved the expenditure of $5,700 for UHF Communications System
designed for the City of Anaheim Police Department and including the Utilities
D~partm~nt VNF/URF Pmdio §ystem and Department of Public Works Low Band Radio

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18 (ZONING CODE OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE):
To consider:
A. Amendments to Chapter 18.05 (Outdoor Advertising - General):
1. Delete references to specific amounts to be charged for permit fees and
deposits for tract signs and future establishment signs, and
2. To add definitions and clarify regulations pertaining to Temporary Real
Estate Signs.
B. Amendments to Chapter 18.84 (Scenic Corridor (SC) Zone):
i. Expand the southerly boundaries of the (SC) Zone to the south City
limits.
2. Revise the description and purpose section of the chapter to provide
for the inclusion of areas other than the Santa Ana Canyon area to the
Zone, and
3. Provide for the special regulations of "Tract" Signs within the (SC)
Zone.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-16, recom-
mended approval of Exhibit "A" as modified,
Mr. Bill Young, Associate Planner, explained what the proposed ordinances
intend to accomplish as far as revision of description of the SC Zone is con-
cerned and further related that this ordinance would essentially restrict all
tract signs within the City to a maximum area of 96 square feet; maximum height
of 14 feet to the highest portion of the sign, 6 feet to the lowest portion of
the sign; regulates that a distance of 450 feet must be kept between signs on
the same parcel of land; provides for no more than one tract sign on any parcel
having a combined frontage of less than 950 feet adjacent to any public street
or arterial highway. The proposed ordinance also specifies that amounts of
permit fees and deposits be established by resolution rather than ordinance to
provide for more flexibility.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council either in favor or
in opposition to the proposed amendments to Title 18.
Mrs. Mary Dinndorf, President of the Santa Ana Improvement Association,
Inc., and also representing the Santa Ana Property Owners and Coalition of
Anaheim Leaders, presented the following questions which arose from discussion
at the January 20, 1975 Planning Commission hearing. At that time it was noted
that enforcement of the sign ordinance relating to these tract signs has not
been pursued because the existing regulation would permit the developer to take
out a new application and leave the sign in practically the same position. She
inquired whether there are fees for new sign applications and the amount of
same. She inquired how much revenue the City has lost on a sign that expired in
1972 with no record of renewal permit issued. She also inquired as to who pays
the cost of sign removal and whether or not monument type signs are considered
75-93
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Februa.r_z 4, 1975 1:30 P.M.
off-site tract advertising signs. She further inquired if there are penalties
for violation of the ordinance and whether or not the owners of signs in viola-
tion are so notified. She displayed photographs of existing tract.signs at
various locations in the Santa Ana Canyon area and read a list of signs and
their locations which have expired and are still in place. (Said photographs
were reviewed by the City Council and returned to Mrs. Dinndorf.)
Mrs. Dinndorf concluded that the homeown.ers' groups she represents would
prefer a 6-foot by 10-foot maximum sign with minimum distance of 200 feet from
a single-family residential zone, but find the recommendations of the Planning
Commission in regard to distance and proximity to be satisfactory. However,
until the matter has been resolved she requested that the City Council consider
either of the following alternates: 1) Issue no new sign permits; 2) Require
all applications for new sign permits be approved by the City Council.
In reply to Mrs. Dinndorf, Mr. Young related that there is a $50 permit
fee and $100 cash deposit requirement for each sign erected. He noted that
enforcement of the sign ordinance in the past has not been stringent, however,
due to the flexibility of the existing ordinance there was nothing to prevent
reinstallation of a sign, and if one were removed, it could have been legally
replaced the same day upon receipt of permit. The proposed ordinance will
provide appropriate controls which will limit the size, location and, indirectly,
the number of tract signs.
Mr. Roberts reported, in regard to the question of whether or not monument
type signs would be considered off-site tract signs, that in all cases he can
recall plans for this type of sign have been approved in conjunction with a
variance or conditional use permit or with the tentative tract map. If proposed
to be erected separately, such a sign would be the subject of a separate vari-
ance application.
In reply to Councilman Seymour, Mr. Roberts indicated that if the currently
proposed ordinance is adopted, because of the interest expressed by homeowners
and City Council relative to these signs, a tickler card system to indicate
dates of expiration would certainly be a number one priority.
In answer to Councilwoman Kaywood's question as to whether or not the pro-
posed ordinance would effectively remove all violating signs, Mr. Young replied
affirmatively with the exception of monument signs which are the subject of
separate Council approval, and those signs for which permits were received
prior to the Council's decision to issue permits expiring March 12, 1975, and
would be considered legal non-conforming signs until the date of their expiration.
Mr. John Millick, Vice President, Anaheim Hills, Inc., reported that in
response to the concern displayed by developers, Task Force Members and home-
owners, Bernardo Yorba, owner of property at Imperial Highway and Santa Ana
Canyon Road has sought creative ideas from various sign companies and has pre-
sented a plan for a kiosk which will integrate the signs on his property. This
has received unanimous approval of the Planning Commission and once approved by
Council, Mr. Yorba has stipulated to removal of all other signs on his prop-
erty. Mr. Millick mentioned the importance of the off-site tract signs in
directing prospective homebuyers to a tract, citing statistics from a survey
conducted by Title Insurance and Trust Company. He noted that they recommended
the size limitation for these signs be 125 square feet since they require
sufficient space on the signs for the name of the project and directions. This
information should be printed in such a manner that an individual can visually
communicate while driving down Santa Ana Canyon Road at a speed of 55 m.p.h.
He indicated that while they were certain all of this information could be con-
tained on the 125-square foot sign, they are willing to accept and live with
the 96-square foot sign compromise as recommended by the City Planning Commis-
sion. He thereupon urged that the Council approve the sign ordinance as recom-
mended by the City Planning Commission.
Mr. Bill Mitchell of Market Profiles remarked that his firm performs
surveys and prepares buyer profiles. He indicated that he did not wish to
defend the visual glut and pollution caused by the signs and overhead wires in
the canyon area. He referred to the high cost of advertising in forms other
than off-site tract signs and noted that 50% of the traffic coming to the models
is attributed to these signs. The monument type tract entrance signs he felt
75-94
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Febr-~ry 4~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
serve a purpose of establishing areas within the development and also in direct-
ing traffic flow once the community is established. He voiced the opinion that
the Planning Commission recommendation will fit the need of all parties concerned.
Mr. Charles Dryer, Vice President Marketing, Grant Corporation, urged that
the Council accept the Planning Commission recommendation in the matter of
these proposed amendments to the Anaheim Municipal Code.
Mayor Thom asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council and
there being no response, he declared the hearing closed.
During brief Council discussion, it was noted again that those signs which
received extensions of time to March 12, 1975, pursuant to Council actions
taken at the meeting of January 7, 1975, even should the ordinance be effective
prior to that time would not be legally required to conform prior to March 12,
1975. Further that staff was previously instructed that any sign permits
issued during the interim period between January 7, 1975 and the effective date
of the ordinance would expire on March 12, 1975.
Councilwoman Kaywood requested clarification of the maximum number of signs
which would be permitted on parcels having a frontage ranging from less than
900 feet to 1,350 feet, inasmuch as her interpretation of Section 18.05.072.0211
would be only two signs would be allowed on 1,350 feet of frontage.
Mr. Young concurred with her interpretation of said section as written in
the sample ordinance and advised that the section should be clarified to more
clearly define the intent of the City Planning Commission.
ORDINANCE NO. 3397: Councilman Pebley offered Ordinance No. 3397 for first
reading, as recommended by the City Planning Commission (one sign. for any
parcel having less than 900 feet of frontage. Parcels of 900 feet or more, one
sign for each 450 feet of frontage.)

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ESTABLISHING PERMIT
FEES AND CASH DEPOSITS FOR TEMPORARY SIGNING.
Prior to voting on the foregoing resolution, Councilman Seymour asked
Mrs. Dinndorf if it would not be a fair statement that the homeowners' groups
are generally in accord with the ordinance as proposed, with the only area of
disagreement being the size of the sign, their preference being the 60-square
foot, with which Mrs. Dinndorf agreed. Councilman Seymour indicated he was in
favor of the ordinance proposed and commended the Task Force, homeowners'
groups and developers who recognized a serious problem and set about to air
their differences with the end result of a resolution which all parties can
live with. He indicated that he is proud of that result and that if no further
accomplishment comes from the efforts of the Task Force, it has proven itself
to be able to produce results.
Mayor Thom concurred with Councilman Seymour's statement.
Councilwoman Kaywood commented that it was agreed the purpose of the signs
is to identify and inform attractively and that the monument signs as displayed
in photos shown by Mr. John Millick can actually add to the scenic beauty.

and that the minimum floor area for the bachelor units shall be not less than
four hundred twenty-five (425) square feet and the number of said bachelor
units shall not exceed twenty-six (26), as shown on the submitted plans, all as
stipulated to by the petitioner.
The City Clerk called Council's attention to the fact that the City Engineer
had submitted a memorandum this date recommending amendment to some of the
Exhibits referred to in the Planning Commission resolutions.
Zoning Supervisor Roberts briefly described the location of subject prop-
erty and noted that the 5 and 1/3 acre parcel, currently zoned CL, is vacant
for the majority, with a service station at the corner. The applicant is
requesting a change in zone from CL to RM-1200 and proposes to construct a 130-
unit apartment complex with a density of 28 units per net residential acre.
20% of the units in this complex would be bachelor type units and the plans
originally specified these to be 417-square feet, however, on recommendation of
the City Planning Commission, the applicant has stipulated and agreed these
units will be a minimum of 425 square feet.
Mr. Roberts reported, in reply to Councilwoman Kaywood, that the parking
to be provided in this complex is consistent with the City's revised parking
sta~Ldards for multiple-family zones.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or his agent were present and satisfied
wi~h the recommendations of the City Planning Commission.
Mr. Robert Anderson, 912 Park Circle, Anaheim, President of Great Oak
Western, Agent for the property owner, replied they were in agreement with the
recommendations of the City Planning Commission.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council, either in favor
or in opposition to the reclassification or variance, there being no response,
he declared the hearing closed.
City Engineer James Maddox clarified his memorandum dated February 4,
1975, advising that the City Planning Commission approved the plans subject to
conformance with Exhibits marked 1, 2 and 3, and Exhibit No. 1 shows a driveway
onto Loara which, as was agreed and stipulated to by the developer subsequent
to the Planning Commission hearing, would be eliminated. He reported that up
to this date, no revised plan showing relocation or elimination of the driveway
has been submitted.
Mr. Anderson advised that he had discussed this situation with the Traffic
Engineer, Chief of Police, Fire and Sanitation Departments and the developer's
intention is not to have any access onto Loara Street, but rather that a hammer-
head drive, satisfactory to accommodate trash collection vehicles would be
utilized, with ingress and egress onto Crescent Avenue only. For emergency
access purposes, a gate will be provided in the fencing on the Loara Street
frontage, which will be constructed of chain-link or other suitable material.
In reply to Mayor Thom, Mr. Anderson agreed to stipulate to the above and
it was determined that Council could act on the reclassification and variance
with plans submitted, although not revised to show the above stipulation.

BUENA PARK VARIANCE NO. V-714: Zoning Supervisor Roberts displayed revised plans
for an apartment complex to be constructed on property located at the westerly
terminus of Savanna Street, adjacent to the City of Anaheim boundary, which were
drawn up by the developer with Joint assistance from representatives of the
Cities of Anaheim and Buena Park in response to some of the concerns expressed
by the Anaheim City Council when the matter was last discussed, January 7, 1975.
Mr. Roberts described the revised plans which reflect a total of 21 units
and provide for a portion of a public cul-de-sac at the easterly boundary of
the property. Mr. Roberts informed Council that the setback requirements
proposed would comply with the City of Anaheim site development standards and
that the only deviation from Anaheim standards would be in the parking require-
ments, the City of Buena Park requiring 1 and 3/4 spaces per dwelling unit,
whereas the City of Anaheim requires 2 per bachelor, single- or two-bedroom
units.
Mr. Roberts advised that there are some Anaheim residents opposed to the
apartment project and in reply to Councilwoman Kaywood advised that these indi-
viduals intend to appear at the Buena Park City Council hearing on the matter.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the City
Council directed that the City of Buena Park Planning Commission be advised
that the Anaheim City Council recommends approval of the revised plans as sub-
mitted and approval of application for Variance No. V-714 in accordance there-
with; and further that appreciation be extended to the Buena Park Planning Com-

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ANAHEIM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE~ BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Dick Taft,
Director of Projects Development, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, presented the
three recommendationS of the Board of Directors, also submitted to Council in
Mr. Larry Sierk's letter dated January 27, 1975:
1. Reactivation of the Civic Center Task Force.
2. Removal of buildings within the area of the superblock.
3. Selection of a group of qualified, unbiased experts to establish the
authenticity of homes and buildings to be designated as having historic
value.
Councilman Sneegas voiced the opinion that these recommendations are "on
~target", and that a group of qualified unbiased experts should establish the
authenticity of homes and buildings.
Mr. Andrew Deneau, Chairman of the Heritage Committee for Anaheim Cultural
Arts Commission, commented on these recommendations, noting that they whole-
heartedly endorse Recommendation No. 1 regarding reactivation of the Joint
Civic Center Task Force. Relative to Recommendation No. 2, Mr. Deneau indicated
that the Heritag~ Committee would like to see some evidence of the criteria
used in evaluating historical structures and buildings by the Chamber of Com-
merce. He stated that as an advisory group concerned with these sorts of
structures, they would not consider making such a broad and sweeping recommenda-
tion, obliging the City to demolish or construct anything. He offered to
furnish the criteria used by his committee in making their recommendations.
75-103
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 4~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Deneau felt that Recommendation Nos. 2 and 3 from the Chamber are not
presently valid for consideration for any kind of action by the City Council.
However, if the Chamber wishes to put these forth as their opinion,~ the Heritage
Committee would be most happy to take these into consideration in offering
recommendations or soliciting information from other civic groups in the City
concerning specific landmarks.
Further discussion of Mr. Deneau's position on the recommendations ensued,
during which Councilman Seymour inquired as to whether or not Mr. Deneau is
interested in broadening the base of his particular committee, to which
Mr. Deneau replied affirmatively. In response to Councilman Seymour's request
for some specific guidance as to how this broadening might be accomPlished,
Mr. Deneau noted that the committee presently has 10 members and is appointive
under the auspices and guidance of the Cultural Arts Commission. He reported
that they are currently undertaking a historical resources inventory, as
instructed by the County Commission. In addition, he reported they are working
with the Bicentennial Heritage Section administered by the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Deneau voiced the opinion that through their public contact efforts and
contacts with various civic groups, his committee receives public input and
they should continue in this manner.
Councilman Seymour felt that in order to insure that the Heritage Com-
mittee's activities are consistent with the feelings of the community at large,
this committee should be perhaps made up of representative members from the
Chamber of Commerce, Anaheim Beautiful, members of the Board of Realtors, etc.
Mayor Thom observed that perhaps that is what the Chamber is recommending
as part of Recommendation No. 3, that the Council appoint such a committee, and
include Mr. Deneau as a member.
A question arose as to the current composition of the Heritage Committee,
and Mr. Deneau informed Council that the entire committee is made up of survivors
from the two previous committees and were appointed at the discretion of himself
and the Chairman of the Cultural Arts Commission. The appointees were discussed
and appointments changed, altered or ratified by the Commission before the com-
mittee undertook any action. He read the following list of members to the
Council: 1) Andrew Deneau, Chairman, 2) Mrs. Charles A. Pearson representing
the Mother Colony Advisory Board, 3) Donald Cameron Spicer, 4) Mrs. Norman V.
Salaets representing the Cultural Arts Commission, 5) Mrs. R. J. Anthony repre-
senting the Women's Division, Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Red Cross
Chapter, 6) Mr. Bill Jones, member of the Anaheim Fire Department, 7) Mrs. Vera
Wilson, Cadet Advisor, Anaheim Police Department, 8) Mr. Homer Wallace, retired
Chief Building Inspector, City of Anaheim, 9) Miss Eleni Boukidis, Architect.
Councilwoman Kaywood requested that Mr. Deneau furnish a copy of this list
to the City Clerk, to which he agreed and also offered to submit a copy of the
instructions as given to the Heritage Committee by the Cultural Arts Commission
in 1968.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood's concern that the Heritage Committee's
apparent position of opposition to the selection of a group of qualified~
unbiased experts is, in effect, prejudging the situation, Mr. Deneau explained
that he did not know who these people might be.
Mr. Deneau stated that he felt it would be up to the City Council to
broaden the base of his committee and remarked they merely act to gather infor-
mation and forward game to th~ Council, that recommendations regarding historical
landmarks and structures certainly need not be forwarded through the Heritage
Committee.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Seymour stated that he felt
Recommendation Nos. 2 and 3 as presented by the Chamber of Commerce would be
more appropriately taken up with the Cultural Arts Commission at the joint
meeting scheduled for Monday, February 10, 1975. He indicated he would be in
favor of reactivating the task force and in accordance with the suggestion
previously submitted by the Heritage Committee, concurred that the representation
on this task force be broadened.
75-104
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 4; 1.975; 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Seymour thereupon moved that the Civic Center Task Force be
reactivated and reconstituted. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.

Mayor Thom suggested that names of potential appointees be submitted at the
Council meeting of February 11, 1975 and in the interim that Council be supplied
with a list of members of the task force as it was constituted previously.

ESTABLISHMENT OF AD HOC COMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY SOCIAL SERVICES NEEDS: Mayor Thom
referred to the discussion earlier in the meeting regarding the agreement with
tile People's Center as indicative of the disorganized "shotgun" approach which
the City has so far utilized in addressing the question of social services. In
this connection he proposed that the Council establish an ad hoc committee
which would serve until July 1, 1975. The purpose of this committee would be
to make recommendations to the City Council relative to the extent to which the
City should go in facilitating the delivery of available social services. He
stated that he would expect the Committee to formulate these objectives for
social services and deliver to the Council a statement of need, identifying
those areas in which the City's attention should be focused, commensurate with
its financial ability. Further, Mayor Thom suggested that this committee be
comprised of nine members and receive support from City Staff, principally from
Joe Garza, Community Relations Representative and William Hepburn, Manpower
Coordinator, as well as be given a place to meet. He recommended that the
City's present Manpower Commissioner, Gerald Vind, be appointed to chair this
committee.
Councilman Seymour remarked that he felt this to be an excellent idea. He
suggested, however, that included in the charge to the committee be a require-
ment that its recommendations to the Council have productivity standards applied
which would clearly demonstrate the positive or negative results of the efforts
of the programs. Councilman Seymour explained that the rationale of this
request for application of productivity standards to these social services
programs is that he wishes to avoid the City's becoming involved in any program
if the final result is negative in terms of delivery of services to the people
in Anaheim. He indicated he would be interested in facilitating the delivery
of social services if they prove to deliver worthwhile results, but not if they
just add another layer of bureaucracy.
Mayor Thom agreed with Councilman Seymour's suggestion that productivity
standards be applied to the delivery of social services in the City. He
emphasized that the City of Anaheim would not be proposing to initiate or
deliver any social services, but rather the purpose of this committee would be
to explore the extent to which the City should facilitate the delivery of
existing social services.
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 4~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
In answer to Councilwoman Kaywood's concern that productivity measurements
cannot be applied to social services, but rather these should be tied to people's
needs, Councilman Seymour explained that his approach can be encapsulated with
the question as to whether or not the program will fulfill all or a portion of
an identified social need.
Mayor Thom moved that the Council approve establishment of the ad hoc com-
mittee as outlined and with the appointment indicated above, and charge that
they report back to Council periodically, with final recommendation submitted
prior to the adoption of the City Budget for the 1975-76 fiscal year. Councilman
Seymour seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Thom requested that the Council suggest names of potential appointees
to this committee at the next regular Council meeting, February 11, 1975.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Sneegas moved to adjourn to Wednesday, February 5, 1975,
10:00 A.M. in the Council Chamber. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion.
MOTION CARRIED.
Adjourned: 4:40 P.M.
