REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY: Demands against the City in the

COMMENTS REGARDING PROPOSITION "A" PAMPHLET: Mayor Thom introduced a pamphlet
published by the "Consumers for Lower Cost Electricity" and for the purposes
of clarifidation, he stated he felt this brochure to be misleading and
deceptive, and that he,as a Council Member of the City of Anaheim, does not
believe it. He wished it to be known that he had nothing to do with
assembling this pamphlet or with those who have affixed their names and are
distributing same through the mail to residents of the City. He voiced the
opinion that the only truth on this piece of literature is the wording of
the ballot proposition itself printed on the back and he did not want any
of the citizens to be under the impression that he had either endorsed or
supported preparation of this brochure in any way.
Councilman Seymour indicated that he was not familiar with the particular
literature described by the Mayor, nor has he read any other literature, but
he felt the electorate deserves to hear the truth, albeit difficult to com-
~municate on such a complex issue as generation of electrical power.
Councilman Seymour further remarked that to the best of his ability to investi-
gate the question of whether or not the city should become involved in genera-
tion of electric power versus the purchase of same wholesale from Southern
California Edison, his conclusion is that - yes, in fact there are dollars
to be saved and there can be rate 'savings in the magnitude of 25% if the City
invests in generation. Conversely, because of the fact that it is the City
Council of the City of Anaheim who sets the electrical rates, the Anaheim
electrical consumer has no assurance that, in fact, the city Council will pass
these savings to them in the form of reduced electrical rates.
Councilman Seymour remarked that he felt that it is incumbent upon this
City Council to take some positive action to insure that when these savings
occur, they are passed back to the consumer, as was promised. In this con-
nection, he suggested that a question be placed on the ballot to amend the
ID-ZIZ
City. Ha.1..l~ ~n~heim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 25, 1975, 1:30 P.M.
City Charter to provide that all profits not less than 25% accrued by the City
of Anaheim participating in generation should be passed directly back to the
consumer and any profits above 25% could be used to relieve taxation. If such
a Charter Amendment were approved by the voters,then they would be assured that
they would receive the benefits promised from investment in the power generation
projects because the decision would be removed from the field of politics.
Councilman Seymour summarized that he would be in favor of such a charter amend-
ment.
Mayor Thom maintained that the literature was misleading and erroneous.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that the pamphlet does not indicate that
these savings will not begin until 1979 or 1980 at the earliest. However, she
stressed that if Anaheim does not go into generation and have some substantial
means of saving large amounts, it means that those additional amounts will just
be transferred to Edison instead of the people.
Councilman Sneegas concurred that the pamphlet leaves something to be
desired as to total validity, but noted that unfortunately most political
advertising is of this nature. He remarked that he felt the total program
has a lot of advantages to offer the people of Anaheim. He pointed out that
no matter which way the savings are funneled back to the people, either through
lower retail electrical rates or lower taxes, there are benefits to be derived
from power generation inasmuch as the City will be saving tax dollars which are
not being paid to Southern California Edison.
ARTHUR YOUNG & COMPANY REPORT - RESULTS OF THE AUDIT PLANNING PROJECT: Mr. David
White representing Arthur Young & Company presented the report on results of
the review of audit planning. He indicated that the report submitted contains
an in-depth discussion of the findings and recommendations and he would present
a verbal summation of the highlights.
The purpose of this review was to identify deficiencies in accounting
systems and records which would prevent the City from obtaining an unqualified
opinion on its financial statements. He described the procedures used to
accomplish this task.
The results of the project disclosed that certain changes must be made in
the format of the City's annual financial statements in order to com~ly with the
new guidelines set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Account-
ants which will be effective for the 1974-75 fiscal year. Mr. White stated that
the fixed asset records, as currently maintained by the City, are not adequate
to permit issuance of an unqualified opinion of a Certified Public Accountant,
and he related certain of the inadequacies.
If the City wished to immediately correct these deficiencies to obtain an
unqualified opinion, it would be necessary to conduct a complete inventory of
fixed assets coupled with reconstruction of costs and accumulated depreciation
records, or have an appraisal of fixed assets performed by an independent
appraising firm. Because such appraisals are very costly and because, at this
time,Arthur Young & Company cannot attach any clear, direct, economic benefit
to the obtaining of an appraisal and/or unqualified opinion on financial state-
ments, it is recommended that the City not have such an appraisal made until it
can be economically justified. However, because accurate fixed asset records
are necessary to fulfill the stewardship relationship and further accurate cost
and depreciation records are necessary for meaningful profit measurement for
enterprise funds and for use in cost accounting procedures, it is recommended
by Arthur Young & Company that the City develop and implement a fixed asset
accounting system for all newly acquired assets. Once this system is opera-
tional for 4 to 5 years, the City could obtain an unqualified opinion by per-
forming appraisal of only long-life assets obtained prior to implementation of
the fixed asset accounting system. This could be done at lower cost to the CitY.
Mr. White reported that Arthur Young & Company anticipates further recom-
mendations concerning the City's accounting system as the overall project pro-
ceeds and would, therefore, suggest that implementation and development of this
fixed asset accounting system be delayed for from 3 to 6 months until all of
the recommended changes can be considered at once to assure the most efficient
interface of all accounting system modifications.
Councilman Seymour noted that it is a weighty decision which requires
appropriate time for analysis,and he would prefer to defer decision in order
to review the alternatives and recommendations.

City Hall; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 25~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Murdoch stated that he receives the impression from this report that
the Arthur Young & Company will describe the costs of providing or implementing
a partial fixed asset accounting system at such time as the recommendations on
the remainder of accounting procedures are presented.
Mr. White replied affirmatively, noting that these costs will be presented
together with detailed plans for system modifications.
Councilman Seymour moved that the Council receive the'Arthur Young report
om results of the audit planning project and, further, that the Council select
which recommendation they will take action on, from those presented in this
report two weeks from this date. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
PRESENTATION AND REQUEST - KINGSMEN DRUM & BUGLE CORPS: Mr. Rocco Oliverio,
Executive Director of the Southern California Kingsmen Drum & Bugle Corps was
recognized by the Mayor and addressed the Council relative to the composition
am~ activity of this group. He advised that this organization is celebrating
their 10th ann/versary this year and involves 1200 young people from Anaheim
and other Orange County Cities. Their performances have won 7 National Champion-
ships and they currently have the World Championship. He noted that they per-
form throughout the United States and have had more than $600,000 worth of
National TV exposure. Their annual budget runs to $100,000 and they are spon-
sored by various groups.
Mr. Oliverio indicated that their problem, and the reason for this presen-
tation today, is that they do not have a home for the Corps and consequently no
address at which they can be reached. He stated that they would very much like
to be officially sanctioned as the "Anaheim Kingsmen Drum and Bugle Corps"
since that is the name they began with and they still feel most closely asso-
ciated with this City. He further noted that 74% of their organization is from
the City of Anaheim and they have had over 900 people involved in this group in
the last 9 years from the City of Anaheim.
An il-minute film was shown to the Council of the Kingsmen during the per--
formance which won their World Championship.
At the conclusion of the presentation Mr. Oliverio advised that what the
organization is seeking from the City basically is a home and a place to
practice and perhaps store trophies and equipment. He noted they are not re-
questing any financial support from the City. He outlined the type of consult-
ing band programs in which they are currently involved and commented that they
would propose to perform other services for the City, such as conduct free
concerts in the parks or for Senior C~tizens and continue with the assistance
currently being given the high school band groups.
Mayor Thom thanked Mr. Oliverio for attending the meeting and for the
presentation. He advised the members of Council that his reason for inviting
the Kingsmen to the meeting this date was to solicit a reaction to
Mr. Oliverio's request, that the City of Anaheim be the sponsoring organiza-
tion and provide a home for the Kingsmen.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated she would be interested in knowing what
liability and costs to the City would be involved.
Councilman Seymour stated he would be in favor of providing some of the
capital needs of the organization, such as a structure for rehearsals and
storage of equipment, but that he did not feel it is in the best interests of
the Kingsmen organization to have the City subsidize its ongoing financial
responsibilities.
Mr. Oliverio reiterated that they are not, in fact, asking for any
financial subsidy. He indicated they do have means to provide for these
needs and are expanding them. The primary concern in this request is for a
home for the organization.
Councilman Seymour moved that the City Parks, Recreation and the Arts
staff be directed to work with Mr. Oliverio on the possibility of the
establishment of a home for the Kingsmen. Council Sneegas seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.

from higher properties through said property to ultimate disposal as approved
by the City Engineer. Said drainage facilities shall be the first item of
construction and shall be completed and be functional throughout the tract and
from the downstream boundary of the property to the ultimate point of disposal
prior to the issuance of any final building inspections or occupancy permits.
Drainage district reimbursement agreements may be made available to the developers
of said property upon their request.
9. That grading, excavation, and all other construction activities shall
be conducted in such a manner so as to minimize the possibility of any silt
originating from this project being carried into the Santa Ana River by storm
water originating from or flowing through this project.
10. That all of the lots along the northerly perimeter of subject property
which abuts Peralta Hills shall be developed with one-story single-family
dwellings, and any two-story dwellings shall be constructed On the interior of
the tract, as stipulated to by the developer.
11. That the lot lines for those lots lying along the north side of Street
"A" shall be extended southerly across said Street "A" and include the slope
area adjacent to Nohl Ranch Road, as stipulated to by the petitioner.
12. That prior to approval of the final tract map, the petitioner shall
make some provision, acceptable to the City Council, for the landscaping and
maintenance of the slopes within and/or created by the development of this
property.
13. That this tract shall be developed prior to the development of Tract
No. 8418 (Revision No. 2).
14. That prior to approval of the final tract map, the petitioner shall
submit final floor plans and elevations to the City Council for approval.
The City Clerk submitted correspondence dated February 23, 1975 relative
to Tentative Maps Tract Nos. 8418 and 8647, Revisions 2, from Mr. Cyrus Buzo
on behalf of Mrs. Amador Buao indicating that the grading planned on subject
tracts would create steep banks adjacent to their property creating a deep
artificial canyon.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted from the staff report that there is a recommenda-
tion that bicycle lanes and walkways be provided in these tracts in an attempt
to reduce traffic, but the plans do not indicate these.
Mr. William D. Lusk, President of ,John D. Lusk & Son, advised that although
bicycle lanes and walkways were considered originally, it was later decided
that because of the topography of the area neither would be used very much and
that is the only reason they were not included.
Councilwoman Kaywood inquired how Mr. Lusk intended to alleviate the prob-
lem just described in Mr. Buzo's letter.
Mr. Lusk stated that subsequent to the last hearing before the Planning
Commission, in response to this concern, his firm has been working with the
City Engineering Department to alleviate this grade and soften the intersection
which would tend to lower the slope bank. He further reported that at the time
that an adjacent tract is built to the east, which he estimates to be 3 to 4
years away, the same grading criteria will be used to soften the areas in
question and to create an undulating system of banks rather than a steep bank.
He stated that in accordance with the agreement between his firm and the
Peralta Hills Homeowner's Association they would submit maps to that Associa-
tion before coming to the City regarding a new tract.
Mr. Lusk indicated that he had offered and would still be willing to
prepare a plan for Mr. Buzo and would like to meet with his engineer and his
attorney to prepare such a plan for transitional area between the properties.
He further reported, in answer to Councilwoman Kaywood, on negotiations under
way with the City of Orange relative to the Meats Avenue extension.

EXTENSION OF TIME - TENTATIVE MAP TRACT NO. 7422, REVISION NO. 2: Request of
Mr. Dudley B. Frank, Bill Miller Realty, 2062 Business Center Drive, Irvine,
California 92664, was submitted for extension of time to Tentative Map Tract
No. 7422, Revision No. 2, together with report from the City Engineer and
Development Services Department.
In reply to Council question as to whether or not current site development
standards would be applicable to this tract, Mr. Roberts reported that the
subject tract map designates only the configuration of the lots and street
patterns and does not show setbacks or parking, but that these things would
be considered when he requests a building permit, and the project would then
be subject to the regulations in force at the time the building permit is
requested.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, a one-year
extension of time was granted to Tentative Map Tract No. 7422, Revision No. 2
to expire March 27, 1976. To this motion Councilwoman Kaywood ~oted "no".
MOTION CARRIED.
FINAL MAP TRACT NO. 8678: Developer I. P. S. of Orange,California; tract
located north of Miraloma Avenue, west of the Orange Freeway; containing 8 RM
1200 zoned lots.
The City Engineer reported that said final map conforms substantially
with the tentative map previously approved and required fees were paid. He
recommended approval subject to receipt of tract improvement bonds.
On recommendation of the City Engineer, Councilman Seymour moved that
Final Map Tract No. 8678 be approved subject to receipt of tract improvement
bonds and approval thereof by the City Attorney. Councilman Pebley seconded
the motion. To this motion Councilwoman Kaywood voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.
FINAL MAP TRACT NO. 7735: Developer Classic Development Corporation; tract
located on the north side of Santa Aha Canyon Road between Eucalyptus Drive
and Fairmont Boulevard; containing 58 RS-7200 zoned lots.
75-182
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February...25~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
The City Engineer recommended approval and reported that said final map
conforms substantially to the tentative map previously approved, that bond has
been posted and forwarded to the City Attorney for approval and required fees
paid.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Roberts reported that a variance was
approved in conjunction with this tract (Variance No. 2327) and to allow some
of the lots within said tract to be reduced to 6,000 square feet, but that there
are none smaller than 6,000 square feet and the average lot size of all lots
approved was at least 7,200 square feet.
On recommendation of the City Engineer, Councilman Pebley moved that Final
Map Tract No. 7735 be approved subject to approval of required bond by the City
Attorney. Councilman Seymour seconded the motion. To this motion Councilwoman
Kaywood voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Seymour pointed out that approval of a final tract map is
basically a ministerial act and by that definition, there is no other action
which the Council can take but to approve same. He stated that at the final
map stage, it does not matter whether a Council Member approves the project
itself, the zoning or density those questions were resolved a long time
previous, and there is nothing which can be done at this point to change these
decisions. He noted that other members of the Council might also be opposed
to the particular project, but if they too voted "no", then the City Council
would place th~ City in jeopardy of a lawsuit.
Councilwoman Kaywood was of the opinion that it would be very unlikely with
t he present Council that this would occur and she stated that she wishes to
register her vote as an objection.
Councilman Seymour voiced the opinion that this constitutes irresponsible
voting unless Councilwoman Kaywood is willing to utilize the taxpayer's money
to face the lawsuit which might ensue.

north and south of Serrano Avenue, east of Hidden Canyon Road; containing 180

PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT - FOUR-DOOR SEDAN: The City Manager reported on

The City Manager reported that this vehicle is proposed to replace the
one currently assigned to his use and that the car offered by the low bidder
is not actually new, it has been used in a parade and consequently they have
quoted a very competitive price.
Discussion ensued regarding the possibility of purchasing a more
economical model, and Mr. Murdoch explained the rationale behind purchasing
a higher quality car for top administrative use has been that this vehicle
would be used whenever it is necessary to transport visiting dignitaries.

In response to Council direction given at the meeting of February 18, 1975,
Mr. Murdoch reported on the availability of parking spaces in City Lots 1, 2

Following brief discussion on recommendations of the City Manager
and the City Attorney, the Council directed the City Attorney's Office

BUENA PARK VARIANCE NO. 714: Continued from the meeting of February 18, 1975,
pending receipt of verbatim transcripts of proceedings before the Buena Park
Planning Commission pertaining to discussion of potential annexation of property
located at the westerly terminus of Savanna Street, to the City of Anaheim.
Councilman Seymour recapitulated the proceedings which had taken place
at the February 18, 1975 Council meeting and advised that at the conclusion
of discussion the Council, by motion, recommended that the City of Buena Park
deny Variance No. V714 and recommend to the developer that he apply for annexa-
tion to the City of Anaheim; or in lieu thereof, if said variance is approved
by the City of Buena Park, and if the property owner indicates his intent to
annex to the City of Anaheim, that the development conform to all applicable
site development standards of the City of Anaheim. Further~ at that meeting
verbatim transcripts were requested of the proceedings before the Buena Park
Planning Commission because of allegation made that certain City of Anaheim
employees were directly recommending circumvention of the City of Anaheim's
site development standards.
The City Clerk submitted the requested transcripts which were forwarded
from the City of Buena Park and advised that these were just received this
afternoon during the Council meeting. She further reported that this matter
will be heard on appeal before the Buena Park City Council on Monday, March 3,
1975.
Mrs. William Todd, Jr., 3620 Savanna Street, and Mrs. Hart, 3640 Savanna
Street, requested that the Anaheim City Council stand behind this motion.
They called attention to the potential parking problems which the apartment
complex would generate.
Mrs. Hart pointed out that if the cul-de-sac is constructed as planned,
with one-half of it on Mr. Rossworn's property, the other one-half,when
ultimately constructed, would be right at her front door.
Discussion ensued regarding the 1969 general plan amendment which
designated this particular area for multiple-family residential, and
the citizens present indicated to Council that much of the ownership of
the property has changed in the past five years, and these current property
owners are not interested in developing their property but wish to retain
its rural atmosphere.

75-186
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 25; 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
At the conclusion of this discussion Council suggested that the Anaheim
citizens contact Development Services Department to obtain specific information
as to what regulations the R$-A-43~00 zone would impose on the area, and if they
wish the City Planning Commission to review the general plan amendment for the
area and make further recommendations on rezoning the property to agricultural,
they may make such a request.
Mrs. Todd questioned several points, specifically as to whether the
arrangement whereby Mr. Rossworn's property would be located in Buena Park and
serviced by Anaheim Utilities would cause any problems and further, whether
the Buena Park or Anaheim Police would respond to calls in complaint regarding
this property.
Council replied that the two 'cities mutually provide water, sewer and/or
electric services along the boundaries according to the manner most logical.
In the event of necessity for police and fire service, there are reciprocal
agreements with neighboring fire departments and although no such agreement
exists for the police departments, usually units from both departments respond.
At the conclusion of discussion, by general consent, the Council deter'-
mined to stand on the motion, duly made, seconded and carried at the meeting
of February 18, 1975, with respect to their recommendation to the City Council of
the City of Buena Park in regard to Buena Park Variance No. V-714.
CONTINUED DECISION - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION BUDGET FOR FIRST YEAR PROGRAM:
Subsequent to Council discussion and direction given following the public hearing
held February 18, 1975 on the Community Development Act proposal, specifically
that the $102,000 allocated for air conditioning at the Chartres Recreation Center
be deleted and these funds placed into housing or neighborhood improvements, Mr.
Ron Thompson reported on the following proposed revisions to the draft budget:
1. That $24,000 be added to the housing repair project, increasing
the number of houses to be repaired from +5 to +10 in the first year.
2. Addition of $78,000 to the project area for neighborhood improvements
a. $66,000 for upgrading of 4 KV electrical transmission system to
12 KV.
b. $12,000 for additional sidewalk, curb and gutter repair.
In addition, Mr. Thompson reported that subsequent to the preparation of
this report to Council, staff has ascertained that there are some additional
monies which could be applied to the project area in the way of indirect costs,
which would allow another $14,000 to be used within the target project area
which had not previously been indicated. Staff would recommend that this
additional sum be used for sewer reconstruction. He concluded that if Council
concurs with the proposed revisions as delineated to the draft budget, this
will be revised to incorporate same and presented at the Council meeting of
March 4, 1975 for formal action following consideration of the environmental
impact report.
Councilman Seymour stated that once the allocation of $102,000 for the
air conditioning of the Chartres Recreation Center is removed from the Community
Development Act Budget, it would be his suggestion that this air conditioning
system be provided through a redevelopment fund or included in the 1975-76
budget, to be accomplished during the calendar year 1975.
Councilwoman Kaywood urged that if the air conditioning project is going
to be accomplished in 1975 that it be undertaken quickly, before the onset of
the summer season so as to obtain a better price and also so that the system be
installed and operational when it is needed during the summer, months.
Councilman Sneegas stated that he had no objections to the theory of the
proposed budget revision, however, he pointed out that conversion of electrical
distribution system from 4 KV to 12 KV is a capital improvement of the electric
utility and should, therefore, come out of utility funds. He indicated that if
the electric utility is operating as a revenue producing enterprise, then the
proceeds should be able to cover the costs for such capital improvements,and it
should not be necessary to utilize Federal funds to accomplish these things.
75-187
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - February 25~ 1975; 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Thom indicated he was glad that Councilman Sneegas brought this
point out and added that he also felt this type of capital improvement should
be done as a part of the operation of the utility, and if there are not suffi-
cient funds to take care of these items, then he would question whether the
City should be in the utility business.
Councilman Seymour pointed out that the same philosophy would apply to
the undergrounding of existing utilities, and realizing what a tremendous
financial burden that would place on the City's utility, he personally would
be willing to seek Federal monies to accomplish that project as well if it
were possible.
Councilman Sneegas stated that he felt the expenditure of these funds on
air conditioning for the Recreation Center is an area which will certainly
make life better for some of the people,whereas he was not convinced that the
conversion of the electric distribution system would upgrade the lives of the
people in the project area in any direct way. Furthen he noted that this
conversion program has not been listed as a priority, nor was it budgeted
previousl~ whereas conversely the air conditioning has been talked about and
listed as a priority item several times. He compared the situation to his
own business, noting that if he has to borrow money to replace fixtures or
make capital improvements then he is aware that there are bookkeeping problems
in that an insufficient amount of money ia being put away to take care of
these expenditures.
Councilman Seymour agreed that this analogy may apply to the Anaheim
electric utility in the area of depreciation and that he would suggest the
question be raised during the 1975-76 Budget hearings.
Councilman Seymour further pointed out that Council so far in this
discussion has mentioned the fact that the public input received'during the
two public hearings showed the citizens obviously in favor of spending the
$102,000 in question on housing repairs and neighborhood improvement. There-
fore if the community development plan is supposed to reflect community input,
then the Council~hould be consistent with what the public has requested and
what staff has recommended in accordance with this input.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that the funds made available to the City
through the Community Development Act of 1974 were earmarked specifically for
repair and upgrading of existing facilities and structures and pointed out
that sewer and alley reconstruction were not listed on any priority list either,
but given the opportunity provided by these funds and having selected this
particular target area for ,the first year's project, these items listed in
the budget are the priority items for the pilot project neighborhood.
Further Council discussion ensued during which Mr. Murdoch explained
what impact upgrading of the electrical transmission system would have on
the homes in the project area, which mainly would be in better voltage regula-
tion and would not have any effect on capacity.
Councilman Seymour stated that part of the effect would be that the
lights in this particular section of the City would not be as likely to go
dim and as susceptible to "brown-outs" and he would consider this a direct
improvement for the homes in that area.
Councilman Seymour thereupon moved that the Council approve the amendments
as outlined by staff to be included in the final budget for the Community
Development Act application. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. To
this motion Councilmen Pebley and Sneegas voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.

reported that both he and Councilman Seymour intend to attend sessions in

SANTA BARBARA NEWSRACKS: Councilwoman Kaywood questioned whether the City had
received any plans, specifications or pictures of the newsracks in Santa Barbara
which she called attention to some time ago.
Mr. Murdoch replied that the City of Santa Barbara, in compliance with
their request, forwarded a copy of an ordinance describing the methods used
to provide these newsracks, but no pictures or specifications were received.
He stated he would follow up on the request.
INVESTMENT ANALYSIS INFORMATION - CONTRACT MANAGEMENT OF THE ANAHEIM HILLS GOLF
COURSE: Councilman Seymour read to the Council a letter which he had received
from Mr. Lewis Dexter, 305 North Ranchito Street, Anaheim, California 92801, a
University Instructor in Business and Managerial Economics, dated February 25,
1975, on the subject of the information reported to Council in connection with
the proposed golf course lease at their meeting of February 11, 1975. Mr.
Dexter's letter indicates that the City Manager's report presented information
which was ~nadequate from an investment analysis viewpoint and was simplistic
in its approach. He recommended that the Council require the following be
included in information presented in connection with the proposed lease-manage-
ment contract:
1. Cost benefit approach using discounted future dollar streams of
income and costs.
2. Evaluation o£ all alternative investment possibilities for all
the City property involved in this issue and portions of this
property as feasible.
3. Evaluation of all costs involved including the escapable costs -
those costs that can be eliminated through a closing or withdrawal
of an operation.
Councilman Seymour concluded that it is obvious to him the data which has
been provided the City Council to make an investment decision of this magnitude
is totally inadequate. He, therefore, requested that the appropriate financial
studies and reports be provided to the Council which would supply the information
with which to make a rationale analysis of the situation.
Mr. Murdoch pointed out that Mr. Dexter's letter is appropriate from the
standpoint of analyzing comparative values of an investment or a business enter-
prise to operate the golf courses, however, that was not the purpose for which
this particular information was presented; the purpose of that information was
to show what the effect would be of the sale of City properties which could be
determined excess.
Councilman Seymour advised that the information which was provided is being
used to evaluate the advantages or disadvantages of management by the City versus
management by private enterprise because no other information has been supplied.
Discussion ensued relative to the sale of property set aside for the third
9 holes of the golf course, during which Councilman Pebley stated that the value
of this property will be determined by the density which the Council permits.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that the Canyon Area General Plan and Task
Force is very much against the suggestS, on of selling any of that property ad-
jacent to the golf course for development since it was designated open space.
Councilman Seymour emphasized during this discussion that the relative value of
that property cannot tell the Council whether or not a management concern can
do a better job of managing the golf course than the City itself. He stated
that he would like to receive data on which he could base an intelligent deci-
sion in this matter; i.e., data which tells the story factually and projects it
realistically in terms of the proposed contract and it also may seek alternatives.
