Mayor Thom encouraged any Council Member able to attend these to do so.
ESTABLISHMENT OF AD HOC COMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY SOCIAL SERVICES NEEDS: Mayor Thom
referred to the discussion earlier in the meeting regarding the agreement with
the 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.

them for this attitude. In exchange, he was of the opinion that it is encumbent
upon the City Council to go on record in support of (1) recognizing that a good
bit of faith, trust and confidence has been demonstrated by the Anaheim Police
Association and (2) working together with management, the Anaheim Police Associa-
tion and the Chief over the next few months to establish a productivity standard
for increased police service, and once having achieved this goal, or some
measurable progress towards same, in October, taking a whole new look at the
City's compensation program.
Mayor Thom agreed wholeheartedly with Councilman Seymour and noted that the
two resolutions which Council will vote on would be effective until October 16,
1975. He indicated that he would hope that prior to that time the productiv-
ities, standards, and goals mentioned by Councilman seymour could be set down
in a form which could be recognized and agreed upon by all parties. He remarked
that once an honest effort has been made to obtain these goals, the rewards
must be forthcoming by the Council in October.

The Mayor declared Resolution Nos'. 75R-71 and 75R-72 duly passed and
adopted.
Mr. McRae expressed appreciation for the support the City Council has
given in this matter and for the willingness on the part of the Anaheim Police
Association to negotiate. He noted that the attitude and morale in the Police
Department has changed dramatically.
Mayor Thom stated that in the forthcoming months it will be the obligation
of staff, the Anaheim Police Association, perhaps a member of the City Council
and undoubtedly a member of the Arthur Young & Company to deliberate and attempt
to formulate the method by which the achievements can be measured.
The Mayor invited members of the Anaheim Police Association who were
present to come forward should they wish to make a statement.
Mr. Joe Karns, Treasurer of the Anaheim Police Association, speaking on
behalf of the general membership, expressed their gratitude and satisfaction
with the pay increase Just approved. He stated that it is the feeling of the
Anaheim Police Association that the City Council has demonstrated their faith
in the Anaheim Police Department as number one in the County. This faith, the
members of the Anaheim Police Department intend to reinforce by demonstrating
increased productivity and increased cost savings to the citizens of Anaheim,
coupled with greater services for less dollars expended.
Mr. Karns further pointed out that the recent appointment of Chief Bastrup
has multiplied themorale factor "a thousand fold" and together with Chief
Bastrup and Garry McRae, he was certain that a program to increase productivity
could be established. In conclusion, he pledged the continued support of the
Anaheim Police Association and offered their best wishes to each Council Member.
