CITY EMPLOYEES' DEFERRED COMPENSATION RETIREMENT PLAN: Finance Director
M. R. Ringer reported on a plan designed by the International City Management
Association Retirement Corporation, having home offices in Washington, D. C.,
being a deferred compensation retirement plan for employees of state and local
governments. He advised that he had received and studied the corporation's
financial statement for the last fiscal year. In researching the credibility
of the plan, he had further received a letter approving the implementation of
this plan in the State of Virginia, and the plan has been approved by the
Internal Revenue Service.
Highlights of the plan, as outlined by Mr. Ringer, included the following:
Ail City employees would be eligible unless deemed otherwise by the City Council.
The basic nature of "deferred compensation" is that employees may elect to
place a portion of their salaries in a retirement fund which provides a definite
tax shelter, inasmuch as they would not have to pay State nor Federal income
taxes on the amount they elected to put away until after retirement when the
money is received. As recommended, the City would not contribute and only the
money elected by employees to be withheld would fund the plan. Employees would
be eligible immediately upon being hired by the City. Fees charged to each
participant for the service would be approximately $30 for each $1,000 received,
plus an annual administrative fee of $5 per $1,000 received. The minimum age
for an employee to receive funds would be 55, and no provisions are made for
withdrawal from the plan since the money is placed in trust until retirement.
Funds are invested through the non-profit corporation as recommended by the
stockbroker and insurance investment advisors. At the time funds are withdrawn,
an employee may receive his contribution and the earnings thereon in a lump
sum, or in monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual payments. He explained how
contributions to the fund would be invested into a fixed income fund, which
guarantees the principal or a variable fund where the principal is not guaran-
teed, and the monies would fluctuate with more speculative types of investments.
In conclusion, Mr. Ringer advised he had disbursed copies of the proposed
plan to the various employee organizations and had received no objections from
them. He thereupon recommended the adoption of the deferred compensation plan.
Mayor Thom reported that he had passed along his copy of the plan to the
City's management audit firm, Arthur Young & Company, for their comments and he
suggested that the decision be deferred for one week to receive their reaction,
and to allow Councilman Seymour to be present and add any comments he might
have.
In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Ringer advised that
the proposed plan had been in effect approximately two years, and 20 cities in
the State of California had adopted the plan.
By general consent, the City Council deferred action on the proposed
compensation retirement plan for one week (March 11, 1975).

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO STANDARDS FOR PARK ACQUISITION; Pursuant to his request
dated February 12, 1975, Dr. Gene Atherton, 2510 South Coast Highway, No. 14,
Laguna Beach, Chairman of an organization designated as "PARKS", addressed the
Council advising that prior to the November election, a local parks petition
was circulated throughout Orange County, which received signatures of 19,888
citizens, 1,617 of which were Anaheim residents. Said petition recommended a
4-acre per 1,000 people dedication for park area by developers, plus a more
equitable method of determining "in-lieu" fees for parks, using the value of
developed land rather than raw, undeveloped property. He further advised that
the 4-acre standard was endorsed by the League of Women Voters and the Environ-
mental Coalition; and the National Park and Recreation Association recommended
a 5 acre dedication standard, as did the League of California Cities. Twelve
of the twenty-six Orange County cities, including Anaheim, have prospective
major benefits from their new subdivisions, and 2/3 of these cities require a
minimum of 4 acres dedication while Newport Beach and San Clemente are consider-
ing an increase in their minimum standards. Cities with larger populations
will benefit the most since more monies from the County will be available for
the development of park sites.
Dr. Atherton distributed to each Council Member copies of the petition
which had been circulated, together with a breakdown sheet illustrating the
numbers of signatures received in each jurisdiction.
On the recommendations of the Director of Parks, Recreation and the Arts,
Councilwoman Kaywood moved that the proposal be referred to the Park and Recrea-
tion Commission for a study and recommendation, report to be submitted to the
City Council within 90 days, with notification to Dr. Atherton when the Council
will again consider the matter. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.

Excerpt from the Minutes of the City Planning Commission meeting held
March 3, 1975, was submitted approving final specific plans for Tract No. 8075
(Reclassification No. 71-72-44 (12)). The City Clerk noted Council approval of
the final tract map on February 25, 1975.
In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Zoning Supervisor Charles
Roberts reported that the plot plan indicates all garage setbacks to be a
minimum of 25 feet, that the size of the units ranges from 1,700 plus square
feet up to more than 2,500 square feet, and plans for an open-work type fence
for Serrano Avenue were also submitted. He noted the building materials pro-
posed and advised that Variance No. 2451 had been previously approved, allowing
24 of the lots at less than 7,200 square feet, to be a minimum of 6,000.

Ciqy Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 4~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.

Later in the meeting, Mr. Roberts further reported that 6 of the lots
having less than 7,200 square feet contained 4-bedroom units and none were

CONDITIONS: Councilwoman Kaywood stated she had received a number of letters
complaining about the slope conditions, landscaping and irrigation in the

Company of California representative had assured the City Council more than six
months ago that these problems would be resolved. She recommended that no
bonds- be released until the matter is settled.
Mr. Thompson reported that the Development Services Department staff is

in the area, to insure that the slopes are properly seeded and growing and the
landscaping installed prior to release of any bonds.

area.
City Engineer James P. Maddox reported that all grading was done in accord-
ance with plans, with only a few very minor remedial work items still remaining;
however, apparently some homeowners have constructed patios which have deflected
the flow of waters, causing the water to flow down the slopes.
Mr. Thompson noted that uncovered patios do not require building permits,
however, when people come to the ~uilding Di. vis~on for information on patio
construction in the area, the drainage situation is pointed out to them.
it was suggested by the Counci'~ ti~at residents .~n the hillside areas be
informed about the p~tent~a] drainage p-r~,blem, perhaps through their respective
Homeovmers Associations o'r throu~ the Anaheim Hills Newsletter.

(SCAG) to become an agency with ?~,wers t(~ tax.
Councilwoman Kaywood reported that the issue had not come up at recent
association meetings, and she was certain so~e advance notice and data would be
provided for discussion and instruction to the various governmental delegates.

Cit~ Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 4~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
AUDITS - FEDERALLY FUNDED ORGANIZATIONS: Councilman Sneegas was of the opinion
that while the City is undergoing a financial audit of its own departments,
audits and financial statements of organizations concerned with Federal grants
such as Manpower, Social Services, C.E.T.A., etc., should also be obtained;
that the financial obligations and the wages established by these organizations
should be made known.
Mr. Davis noted that it was the responsibility of the City to insure that
the monies obtained are properly appropriated and to look into the performance
of the organizations.
Councilwoman Kaywood left the Council Chamber. (2:31 P.M.)
Councilman Sneegas stated that if the City Council had no objection, he
would submit the information he had received pertaining to certain federally
funded organizations to the City staff for investigation and report.
Mayor Thom stated that although he had been satisfied with the programs in
which the City had participated until the present time, and had relied on the
City staff to maintain a check on these programs, he had no objection to
Councilman Sneegas' proposal, nor to such an audit and financial statement. He
noted that a portion of the responsibilities of the Social Services ad hoc
Committee was to assist in e~tablishing levels of measurement for the use of
funds to be expended.
NEWSRACKS: Councilmen Sneegas and Pebley reported on letters and reports received
by them complaining about the type of material displayed in newsracks in front
of certain local restaurants and suggested that the complaints be forwarded to
the City Attorney's Office for investigation to determine whether any portion
of the City's ordinance governing newsracks on the public right-of-way is being
violated.
The four locations referred to were:
Bob's Big Boy, Euclid Street near Lincoln Avenue
Norm's Restaurant, West Lincoln Avenue
Sambo's, Katella Avenue near West Street
Larry's Coffee Shop, South Anaheim Boulevard
Councilwoman Kaywood returned to the meeting. (2:34 P.M.)
Mr. Hopkins advised the City Attorney's Office would investigate these
sites mentioned and proceed accordingly.
SANTA ANA RIVER FLOOD PROTECTION AGENCY - BYLAWS: Councilman Sneegas submitted a
copy of the Santa Ana River Flood Protection Agency Bylaws to the Assistant
City Attorney for study and report.
KINGSMEN DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS: Mayor Thom questioned the status of the request
made February 25, 1975, by Mr. Richard Oliverio for headquarters and rehearsal
area to be provided the Kingsmen Drum and Bugle Corps, possibly in conjunction
with the Parks and Recreation or Cultural Arts Program.
Mr. Davis stated he would follow through to determine what might be
feasible.
coMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PROPOSAL - CONTINUED DECISION: Public hearings
were held February 11 and February 18, 1975, to consider the following programs
in connection with the Community Development Application Proposal:
1. A three-year Community Development Plan which would be City-wide,
specifying needs, goals and both short- and long-term objectives.
2. Housing Assistance Plan which would be City-wide to identify needs,
goals, objectives and locations.
3. A one-year Community Development Program to identify City-wide activi-
ties and a one-year development program for the area generally bounded by
Cypress Street on the south, Sycamore Street on the north, Anaheim Boulevard on
the west and the Santa Fe Railroad tracks on the east.

City Hail, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March. 4, 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
On February 11, 1975, the staff was authorized to submit a preliminary
draft application for Community Development to the SCAG Regional Clearing House
for review. The public hearing was closed on February 18, 1975, and Council
decision continued for additional revision of the proposed community development
budget.
On February 25, 1975, the revised budget was approved by the Council, with
instructions to staff to allocate funds previously designated for air condition-
ing at the Chartres Recreation Center to both housing repair and neighborhood
improvement projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 140: The City Planning Commission believes
that said draft E.I.R. No. 140 does conform to the City and State Guidelines
and the State of California Environmental Quality Act and based upon such
information does hereby recommend to the City Council that they certify said
E.I.R. No. 140 is, therefore, in compliance with said Environmental Quality
Act.
Mr. Thompson briefed report from the Development Services Department dated
March 3, 1975, advising that the changes in allocation of funds had been accom-
plished and were now a part of the completed Housing and Community Development
(HCD) Application. It was recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed
resolutien which authorizes the City Manager to file an application for a Com-
munity Development Block Grant pursuant to the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, and that Council not certify E.I.R. No. 140 until comments from
[ltat~ agencies have been transmitted to the City from the State Clearing House
and any necessary responses have been prepared for inclusion in the E.I.R.
Also recommended was that the staff be directed to submit the revised HCD
Application to both HUD and SCAG with the requests that they review the appli-
que t ~ ' ~n.
5~r. Thompson fuz-ther rep<)r;~ed that ~-~ letter had been submitted this date
fr~)~ SCAG regarding the preliminary dr.~£t ~-~(]D application submitted to that
bodf~ and he quoted positive ~.~omments regarding the application as contained in
the Letter.
At the conclusion of Mr. Thompson's report, there being no further ques-
tions by the City Council, Mayor Thom asked if any member of the audience had
comments to offer.
Mr. Manuel ~endez, A. [.A., Anah~r ~'esident and businessman, stated one of
the key elements of the Community Development ?rogram is citizen participation,
and he questioned whether citizens ~)f all areas to be affected had been notified
of the proposals and apprised of the fact tic)at the subject area would be involved
for the first project, with others such ~s the Patt Street and Clementine
Street areas to be delayed until iater ~[n the program. Mr. MenHez stated that
according to information he had received by talking to people residing in the
community, they have not been ad~pquately ~.nformed, and that at the meetings
held b~ the City, ti~ere was ~e ,'~n~'. pr~sen~, who was capable of answering ques-
tions relative to the Community [)evel~)pme~nt \ct. In a~J~ition, he questioned
wheti~er a member of the (]ity staff was qualifJ~ed [~o work with Mexican-American
c i tizens.
>iayor Thom stated that a~though he was not present at the evening public
hearing held February 18, 1975, he was inforn~ed there was a sizable contingent
of the Mexican-American c~tizenry present, t~)gether with an interpreter; that
questions were asked and answered, and those present indicated their satisfac-
tion with the information received.
Councilwoman Kaywood elaborated that Mrs. Josephine Montoya was the inter-
preter at the three hour long February 18, 1975 hearing, during which time many
questions were asked and answered after the slide presentation by Mr. West of
the Planning staff. She pointed out that the Patt Street and Clementine Street
residents were not present since only residents in the target area were notified.
Mr. Mendez noted that residents in the other areas feel they are being
ignored. He was of the opinion that al1 families should be notified of the
impending program, especially those residing in areas known to be blighted.
75-200
Cindy Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 4, 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood explained the requirements of the program and noted
there was a difference between community development and redevelopment. She
advised that the Sycamore area was selected as a location where residential use
was certain to continue and was contiguous to the Project Alpha redevelopment
area.
In answer to question by Mr. Mendez as to where the $30,000 allocated for
"Housing Study" would be spent, Assistant Planner Bill West explained that the
purpose o£ the Housing Study was to identify physical, social, and economic
characteristics of housing and the needs of the various individuals who might
be members of lower income families, elderly persons, Mexican-Americans, etc.
This study would include the Central City and Patt Street areas.
Mr. Mendez felt that the results of the Community Development proposal
were far below what he expected and noted only 10 dwellings were projected for
rehabilitation in the pilot housing repair project. He had not participated
in, nor been aware of, the previous meetings and public hearings concerning
the program.
Mayor Thom indicated that in view of Mr. Mendez' expertise in the archi-
tectural field, it might be advantageous for members of the City Council and
staff to meet with him and consider the possibilities for the balance of the
five-year program.
Councilwoman Kaywood referred to the proposed final, budget under first
year projects, Item'No. 1, Housing Repair (Sycamore/Cypress area), wherein the
total projected $47,776 cost does not reflect the cost of labor; and she felt
the additional $84,859 C.E.T.A. labor costs should be set out so as to show the
actual amount being spent on said repairs.
Mr. Thompson stated the labor costs would be added to the appropriate
budget page.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 140: By general consent, the City Council
determined that no action be taken on the environmental impact report at this
time, as recommended by the Development Services Department.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-117: Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 75R-117
for adoption, authorizing the City Manager to file application for a Community
Development Block Grant, pursuant to the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1974.

ment of the General Alignment of Fairmont Boulevard from Santa Ana Canyon Road

Ann Bien requesting continuance of subject public hearing.
On February 25, 1975, the City Council indicated their intent to continue

affected property owners.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by CouncilmanSneegas, public
hearing on the Fairmont Boulevard Alignment was continued to April 15, 1975,

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO MUNICIPAL CODE: Public hearing was scheduled to
consider amendment to the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to Zoning, Chapter
18.06 (vehicular parking and loading requirements - general) to require City
Council review and approval for any non-residential facility which would require
parking spaces for 250 or more vehicles.
Pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-17, the City Planning Commission recom-
mended adoption of amendment to Title 18, Zoning, Section 18.06.060, as follows
(underscored portions are amended):
18.06.060 MINIMUM NUMBER AND TYPE OF PARKING SPACES. The minimum
number of parking spaces permitted for any land use shall not be
less than the following numbers given for the subject use(s),
provided that any non-residential facility which requires parking
~pace for 250 or more vehicles shall be subject to the review and
approval of the City Council prior to issuance of a Grading Permit
or Building Permit, whichever is required for the construction of
such facility. Further provided that where a combination of uses
is proposed, the minimum number of spaces provided shall be not
less than the sum total of the requirements for each individual
type of use to be established, except as may otherwise be approved
b.y the City Council.
Assistant Planner Bill Young briefed Development Services Department staff
report dated January 20, 1975, (Page 3), pointing out that Environmental
Protection Agency regulations effective January 1, 1975, require non-residential
projects having 250 or more parking spaces to be subject to review for impact
c~ air quality, which normally will be evaluated in the Environmental Impact
Report for the project. A proposed Ordinance was prepared reflecting the
necessary amendments, since under present City regulations, it is possible for
a facility having more than 250 parking spaces to be constructed without prepar-
ation of an E.I.Ro
Mr. Young further advised that the Environmental Protection Agency has
postponed additional regulations pertaining to facilities having 1,000 or more
parking spaces to June of 1975.
Mayor Thom asked if anyone wished to address the City Council regarding the
proposed amendment; there being no response, he declared the hearing closed.
ORDINANCE NO. 3406: Councilwoman Kaywood offered Ordinance No. 3406 for first
reading.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM REPEALING SECTION 18.06.060 AND AMENDING
THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 18.06.060 RELATING TO ZONING.
PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 74-75-25: Initiated by the Anaheim City
Planning Commission for a change in zone from County of Orange RI District to
City of Anaheim RS-7200 zone; property located at Greenwich Street, on the
north and south sides of Orange Avenue (Greenwich Annexation - Greenwich No. 2
Annexation).
Pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-27, the City Planning Commission found
that the Director of Development Services has determined that the proposed
activity falls within the definition of Section 3.01, Class 1, of the City of
Anaheim Guidelines to the requizement for an Environmental Impact Report and
75--202
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 4~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirment to file an E.I.R.; the
Planning Commission further recommended approval of subject reclassification
subject to the following condition: (1) That these reclassification proceedings
are granted subject to completion of annexation of subject property to the City
of Anaheim.
The City Clerk called attention to letter dated March 3, 1975, from Henry
and Dorothy Kneubuhl protesting the zone change, particularly with respect to
the Amherst School property on the north side of Orange Avenue (Conditional Use
Permit No. 1499).
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts explained that the purpose of subject
reclassification was to change the zoning from a County zone to the nearest
comparable City zoning upon finalization of annexation proceedings.
Mayor Thom asked if anyone wished to address the City Council for or
against the proposed reclassification.
Mr. Henry A. Kneubuhl, 525 North Gilbert Street, came forward and asked
whether his name was on the mailing list to receive legal notice of the public
hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 1499 inasmuch as he had not received
legal notices of public hearing on said conditional use permit nor on subject
reclassification.
Mr. Hopkins advised that a legal notice addressed to Mr. Kneubuhl at 128
South Cortez Lane, Tustin, 92680, had been returned marked "undeliverable as
addressed, unable to forward".
Mr. Kneubuhl advised that his current address is 525 North Gilbert Street,
and he and his wife are owners of property at 9791 Orange Avenue. 'If they had
been aware of the public hearing on the conditional use permit for expansion of
Amherst School, they would have been present to bring the following items to
the attention of the City Planning Commission and the City Council: The School
on the north side of Orange Avenue operated for many years under the County as
a grade school, through 9th grade. For the past two years the School has also
included high school grades, even though when the operators applied to the
County of Orange for permission to expand the School to include grades 10
through 12, the permit was denied.
Subsequently, due to pending annexation of the property, application was
made through the City of Anaheim for the same use (.Conditional Use Permit No.
1499), and said permit was granted. It was Mr. Kneubuhl's understanding that
when property is annexed, the City absorbs uses which were existing under
County jurisdiction; however in this instance, the City seems to be upgrading
an existing use by allowing the addition of three grades.
In Mr. Kneubuhl's opinion, the School is in violation of its original
permit by the addition of the high school grades, and by incorporating into the
school function the residence on the east side of the property. He questioned
whether the entire School premises have been inspected by the City Fire and
Building Departments and noted existing hazardous traffic and parking conditions.
Councilwoman Kaywood recalled that when Conditional Use Permit No. 1499
came before the Council as a Planning Commission item, she asked for public
hearing thereon because of complaints she had received. During the subsequent
public hearing, all the points referred to by Mr. Kneubuhl were brought out,
however, although many residents of the area were present, no objections were
registered. She pointed out that the hearing was publicly advertised, and an
attempt was made to notify Mr. Kneubuhl. She noted that conditions were placed
on the granting of the conditional use permit, and the parking area is being
enlarged.
Mrs. Dorothy T. Kneubuhl addressed the Council advising that the primary
concern was the upgrading of the school use to include the high school grades.
In her opinion, the older students attending the School were problem children
who were being introduced into a good residential area, adjacent to a public
elementary school, and she cited problems with some of these students which
have occurred in the neighborhood.
75-203
~ity Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 4, 1975, 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that the conditions of granting the
conditional use permit included the provision of additional parking and a
closed campus.
Mrs. Kneubuhl stated that they have no objection to the annexation of sub-
ject properties, but only to the expansion of the school use (Greenwich No. 2
Annexation). She noted that the Anaheim Union High School District continuation
high school is not located in a residential area, nor adjacent to a public
elementary school.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that with the property annexed to the City,
there will be better control of the situation. Any complaints about students
causing problems in the neighborhood should be reported to the Anaheim Police
Department.
Mrs. Kneubuhl was of the opinion that the City had granted a use which was
conducted illegally under County jurisdiction. She asked whether there was any
way to reopen the conditional use permit public hearing to receive new evidence.
It was noted that the so called new evidence had been presented during the
public hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 1499. Further, that the School
would now be under the jurisdiction of City Fire and Building Codes.
Mr. Kneubuhl was shown a map of the property proposed for reclassification,
and the Assistant City Manager reported that the Greenwich No. 2 Annexation
became final upon recording by the County of Orange on January 2, 1975. Also
noted was the fact that one of the conditions of granting the conditional use
permit for the School expansion was that the use be subject to annual review.
Mayor Thom asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council regard-
ing the reclassification of subject properties; there being no response, he
declared the hearing closed.
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT: On motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the City Council ratified the deter-
mination of the Director of Development Services that the proposed activity
falls within the definition of Section 3.01, Class 1, of the City of Anaheim

therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement to file said environmental
impact report. MOTION CARRIED.
