1975/05/1375-439 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 13, 1975, 10:30 A.M. The City Council of the City of Anaheim met in adjourned regular session. PRESENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood, Seymour and Thom ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Pebley and Sneegas PRESENT: VISITOR AND CONVENTION BUREAU EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Bill Snyder (President of Visitor and Convention Bureau), Bill Long (Marketing, Disneyland), Herb Leo (M.C.P. Foods), Harry Dalton (California Angels), and Dale Seiders (Sheraton Anaheim) PRESENT: ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER: Robert M. Davis CITY ATTORNEY: Alan R. Watts CITY CLERK: Alona M. Hougard STADIUM AND CONVENTION CENTER DIRECTOR: Tom Liegler FINANCE DIRECTOR: M. R. Ringer The City Council met in adjourned regular session for the purpose of conducting an informal discussion with the Visitor and Convention Bureau. Mr. Herb Leo, President, called the Visitor and Convention Bureau Executive Committee to order. Mayor Thom called the Council meeting to'order at 10:40 A.M., a quorum having been established. Mr. Bill Snyder, using a series of slides, briefed the Council Members on the functions of the Visitor and Convention Bureau and outlined convention statistics for previous years and up to April of 1975. Mr. Snyder pointed out that it is the Bureau's general obligation to represent all facilities, the Convention Center, the hotel facilities and other service businesses associated with convention and tourist trade. He advised that they are currently actively soliciting approximately 5,000 state, regional and national convention groups of all sizes and now have a national market of about 60%, as compared to 10% to 15% national market 7 to 8 years ago. The Bureau also has been, of necessity, the unifying force between the Con- vention Center, hotels, and associations and in general the entire convention industry, to bring all of these service facilities together. Convention attendance figures, based on registered delegates only, has increased from 44,000 in 1966 to 426,000 in 1974. One of the reasons actual attendance has in fact proven to be over what is projected at the time of bookings, is the kind of convention business attracted to this convention area, such as the professional, medical, educational and technical groups, and these types of bookings are increasing. He also attributes this type of bookings to be one of the reasons the Anaheim Convention Area has held up very well in spite of the recent economic conditions. Based on attendance figures so far in 1975, Mr. Snyder projected an estimate of 450,000 delegates for the year. During discussion of new and repeat convention business, Mr. Snyder stated that the Bureau's production record, i.e., what is booked for future years, goes up and down dramatically from one year to the next but will remain in the range between 210 to 240 groups per year. Regarding repeat convention business, Mr. Snyder explained many convention groups book in 3-year cycles, and the Bureau does book some major convention group repeat business, but not more than 5% of the overall business is repeat. He emphasized that the convention booking business involved a continuing sales job. Some groups return annually to the same city because it is written into their bylaws, but most return on their cycle, if the facility performs well. In discussing statistics shown for future bookings in the first calendar quarter, from the years 1970-1975, Councilman Seymour noted that 1975, with 87 bookings is the third highest. Mr. Snyder stated that the Visitor and Convention Bureau is operating at a continued higher plane but will fluctuate from one year to the next. 75-440 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 13~ 1975~ 10:30 A.M. Mr. Snyder was of the opinion that the convention business is coming to the point where the dramatic gain will not be seen each year, and as competi- tion increases it will be more and more difficult to remain at these higher averages. Councilman Seymour asked if in the presentation scheduled for this date Mr. Snyder intended to discuss alternatives to accommodate the expanding convention market or whether there is any additional market. Mr. Snyder stated that a growth in convention facilities is a two-way street which also requires additional hotel and other facilities. Without doing any research, Mr. Snyder stated that he felt an expansion of convention facilities at this time would not be warranted by the small additional market which might be captured. He stated that with current facilities there are very few of the largest convention groups which could not be accommodated, perhaps 5%. Councilman Seymour inquired what steps the V & C Bureau plans to take to insure that this City maintains its segment of the market; and what they plan to do to keep pace with competition. Mr. Snyder advised that he did not believe the market was saturated because it is constantly changing and expanding. In order to successfully book conven- tions for these new groups, the V & C Bureau follows 5,000 files to keep abreast and aware of the changes and expansions in the market. He explained that the Bureau's strategy is a rather intensive sales effort. Each salesperson handles approximately 1,000 files and uses a direct technique rather than a scattered "shotgun" type of approach. Mr. Liegler pointed out that an important part of the strategy is that between the V&C Bureau, hotels and city staff, the convention groups receive better service. Mr. Snyder advised that three years ago the Bureau opened a Washington office because 60% to 70% of National Associations are headquartered there. Councilman Seymour stated that he was well aware of the aggressive sales campaign and professional approach utilized by the V & C Bureau, but this does not answer the question as to how they will convince a convention group to utilize the older model Convention Center, when there are newer facilities being built all the time. Mr. Snyder advised that they stressed the unusual features present in the Anaheim Convention Center, such as carpeting, individual thermostatic controls, lanai areas, close proximity to Disneyland and other recreational areas, which are not available even in most newer facilities. Their basic approach is that the older model is cleaner, more compact, easier to service and essentially superior. Mr. Snyder noted that the most severe adversity they have to contend with is the lack of any airline support in their institutional advertising. Mr. Bill Long advised that Disneyland has taken a very strong position on tourism in an attempt to alter that situation. He explained the Disneyland package program they have developed with several air carriers as well as their efforts in promoting these through travel agencies and the media. Last year he indicated they sold 12,000 such packages with an average of 3.4 people per package and this year they estimate they will sell 18,000 packages. He advised that they are working with airlines traveling from such areas as Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Mexico City promoting Anaheim as the destination point and not Los Angeles. Mr. Leo observed that amenities and accommodations offered by hotels are an increasingly important factor. He stated that two associations to which he belongs will not consider Anaheim for conventions because of lack of tennis facilities and nearby golf courses. 75-441 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 13, 197.5~ 10:30 A.M. Discussion ensued regarding the installation of tennis facilities and it was noted that the Disneyland Hotel is planning to add this amenity and other hotels have the idea under consideration. It was indicated that the City Council has discussed municipal tennis facilities, but the current budget would not be able to provide for same. Further, in connection with municipal courts, there would be an inconsistency, or at least the factor to be considered as to whether or not the City should design and construct these for maximum use by residents of the City or by people coming to conventions. Councilwoman Kaywood suggested that the major hotels combine to lease the property which is vacant and available south of Convention Way for tennis facilities, as this would be an ideal location. At the conclusion of discussion Mr. Snyder summarized that he felt the private sector is moving forward to meet the demand for this recreational amenity. Mr. Snyder noted in his presentation that 1977 is projected as a down year, basically because the national groups are not rotating to the west in that year. He advised that a 1973 survey indicated the initial dollar impact on the convention community at $200. per delegate. Councilman Seymour related that the City is engaged in redevelopment project Alpha involving downtown Anaheim, and he felt it would be a worth- while objective to seek some percentage of these tourism and convention dollars to be spent in the downtown area. He asked Mr. Snyder's opinion regarding the viability or nonviability of this concept. Mr. Snyder concurred that it is important to increase the amount of monies spent by convention delegates in Anaheim, particularly the downtown area, noting that there is currently no real place for the visitor to shop in Anaheim. Frequently shopping tours are arranged for the delegates and their spouses to the Orange Mall and South Coast Plaza, since transportation to the Anaheim Center is not good. He noted a good shopping center should be easily accessible and in an attractive location. He voiced the opinion that some effective form of transportation would be a major improvement. Councilman Seymour requested comments from the Bureau Members as to what impact an Amtrak station adjacent to the Stadium might have and they were of the opinion this would be an additional help in ground transportation. Mr. Long indicated it would be a very valuable asset to him in his marketing program, since he has been trying to develop packages with the Sea World San Diego attraction but has encountered transportation problems. Mr. Snyder's continued presentation dealt with the tourism program and the various methods employed by the V & C Bureau to promote tourism, such as the travel promotion trips, TAG Days (Travel Agent Guide), and exhibits at Travel Agent's trade shows. Mr. Long was of the opinion there was need for increased effort toward more professionalism in coordinating and developing tourism promotional programs with every member of the Bureau. Mr. Snyder exhibited the types of advertising used and some of the publications in which these ads are placed. He explained that the placing of stories and articles in trade and convention journals is an effective attendance builder for groups already booked. A new program deals with the travel editors market and the working with communications and camera crews to get the information of what Anaheim and the surrounding area has to offer to the travel editors for their articles. At the conclusion of the presentation, Mayor Thom stated that he apprer ciated the informality and the chance for open and easy discussion with the Bureau. He commended them for the outstanding job they are doing. Mayor Thom asked what percentage of the V & C Bureau budget is from membership dues as opposed to the portion the City pays. 75-442 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 13~ 1975~ 10:30 A.M. Mr. Snyder replied that on a cash basis, approximately 25% of the budget comes from dues but that the private sector contributes so many "in kind" services that it is very difficult to measure their total contribution. Prior to adjournment, Mr. Long advised that the Brown Administration has recently eliminated the State Department of Tourism. He voiced the opinion that the private industry involved with tourism should lobby together for the reinstatement of this department which provided a coordinating effort. He stated that the tourism industry is the third largest in California and represents $58,000,000,000. whereas the budget for that department was only $350,000. He noted that the last .conference of that State Department was held in Anaheim, and received excellent press. He felt Anaheim should take a lead roll in lobbying for reinstatement of the State Department of Tourism. Councilman Seymour requested more information on this matter for further study by the Council in an effort to provide possible assistance.

REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY: Demands against the City in the amount of $818,776.44, in accordance with the 1974-75 Budget, were approved. COST BENEFIT STUDY - SANTA ANA CANYON AND SANTIAGO CREEK: Mr. Rod Sackett, Joint Study Coordinator, advised that pursuant to previous action of the Anaheim City Council and the Orange County Board of Supervisors, a Steering Committee was formed comprised of City Managers from Orange, Yorba Linda and Anaheim, the Chief Administrative Officer of Orange County, the County Tax Assessor, and the Chief Engineer of the Orange County Flood Control District. This working committee, of which Mr. Sackett is the chairman, is working to define and ~ develop a mathmatical model to be available for use in land use decision making. The model would take into consideration the dollar factors and others, such as environmental impact, public safety and social impact. The model would be applied in the Santa Ana Canyon and Santiago Creek areas. 75-444 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 13~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Sackett referred to a map of the 20,O00-acre project area involved, posted on the west wall of the Council Chamber, and submitted exhibits 1 and 2 (copies furnished each Council Member), illustrating a means of measuring land development impact and depicting basic cost revenue data. This study is divided into three phases, the first treating economic factors, the second treating non-economic factors, and the third involving the conversion of the gathered data into a computer for ease in handling. Using slide projections, Mr. Sackett explained how the model would be applied and noted that in defining the parameters to be measured, it was necessary to make a number of assumptions; and the data exhibits defined alterna- tive development configurations and equations. The result is a model to serve as a useful tool in making a decision, or in taking a proposal and modifying it to its optimum because the weak points will be evident. A grant has been applied for through the State under HUD 701, and $30,000 has been granted effective July 1, 1975. This will allow the data developed to be placed on a computer, making the method available for participating jurisdictions and others for application. In response to comments by Council Members, Mr. Sackett reported that the computerization of the data would provide the flexibility of adjusting the variables or premises upon which the formula is based. For example, in determin- ing revenues there will be a co-efficient reflecting the tax rates, and tax rates vary in different jurisdictions. Further, one jurisdiction may feel differently from another regarding the importance of certain economic factors. Regarding the actual figures to be used, Mr. Sackett advised that data will be presented to the Steering Committee in approximately two weeks. Mayor Thom thanked Mr. Sackett, noting that the reason for requesting sub- ject study was the hope that an additional tool would be developed to assist in clarifying the choices available for future development.

REQUEST - REFUND OF FEES~ RUBBISH PICKUP: City Manager Keith Murdoch briefed memorandum report dated May 12, 1975, from Public Works Director Thornton Piersall, advising that the rubbish strike has been settled and cleanup opera- tions have been completed, with normal rubbish pickup resumed this week. He advised that requests have been received for refund of one week's rubbish fees from those who called or disposed of their own trash. One week's fees would amount to 30¢ per residential unit for the trash pickup portion of the sanitation charges. Councilman Sneegas left the Council Chamber. (3:25 P.M.) In response to Council questioning, Mr. Murdoch reported that the street sweepers maintained their regular schedule during the strike. Councilman Seymour was of the opinion that any proposed refund should be based on that portion of the sanitation fees which pertains to rubbish removal only. Councilman Sneegas returned to the Council Chamber. (3:30 P.M.) Mr. Murdoch clarified that during the second week of the strike, the trash was picked up although not necessarily on the scheduled~ day. He pointed out that basically the volume of trash picked up the second week was double that of a normal week's load. . Councilman Pebley left the Council Chamber. (3:30 P.M.) Councilman Seymour noted that the customer may ultimately have received the service, however, he was inconvenienced, and he suggested it might be easier to credit the customers next utility 'bill with the 30¢. Councilman Pebley returned to the Council Chamber. (3:32 P.M.) Public Works Director Thornton E. Piersall reported that trucks were out every day during the strike, however, pickup for most people was delayed approximately one week. Some people arranged to have their rubbish hauled away and even though a refund would amount to only 30¢ for one week, they felt they were entitled to it. Councilman Seymour questioned the cost of adjusting the City's computerized utility billing system in order to provide for a blanket credit for one week's trash collection. Mr. Piersall stated it would be easier to credit a future billing than to refund on the current billing cycle; however, that would take time, and people are anxious to receive their refunds as soon as possible. He noted that trash contractors paid overtime for the collection of the large volume of trash. Mayor Thom was of the opinion that if credit is given to anyone, it should be given to all residential customers. Mr. Raoul Rangel, Vice President of Jaycox Disposal, addressed the Council, being of the opinion that it would be necessary to study the situation before making a recommendation regarding an overall refund or credit for individual homeowners. He noted that they had particularly concentrated on apartment houses during the strike since they do not have the capacity for storage of rubbish. At the conclusion of the discussion, it was determined that the refuse collection contractors and the Public Works Department would work together for a solution. PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE SURVEY - BAYLY~ MARTIN AND FAY, INC.: Report received May 9, 1975, from Bayly, Martin and Fay, Inc., Insurance Consultants (copies furnished each Council Member), on their public iiability insurance survey was submitted. Herb Stabbert, Insurance Agent for the City, addressed the Council advising of imminent changes in public liability insurance for municipalities. Many companies have withdrawn from the market, and the immunity status of California 75-448 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Ma. y 13, 1975~ 1:30 P.M. cities has been eroded to the point where they are considered on the same level as corporations, individuals and partnerships so far as legal liability is concerned. He has been notified that the City's liability insurance can be renewed, but coverage will not include the City's two reservoirs in Olive Hills and Anaheim Hills. Finance Director M. R. Ringer introduced Warren Richardson and William Clements, of Bayly, Martin and Fay, Inc., who prepared the report which is the first of several reports on this study. He referred to his memorandum dated May 9, 1975, in which was outlined the liability premiums paid on the primary and the excess policies during the past eight years and advised that these policies are due to be renewed July 1, 1975. Councilman Seymour noted that the Council had requested an analysis of areas where the City might want to consider self-insurance and to make recom- mendations for improving the cost effectiveness of the City's J.nsurance premium. The report indicates the City has a good program and points out some areas of exposure which the City Council may wish to consider. Mr. William Clements agreed that their survey has shown that Anaheim presently has a good liability insurance program. Although they did not feel they were asked to make a self-insurance study, self-insurance will be recom- mended if it will save money in certain areas, or if the City is forced into such a program by the liability insurance market. In response to question by Councilman Sneegas, Mr. Clements reported that the amounts reflected in the Loss Ratio Exhibit include the total cost of handling the claims. He advised that future segments of the study will include separate loss control, fire, and employee benefit reports. Further discussion was held, and Mr. Ringer advised it does not appear that there will be any significant savings, as premiums will move substantially upward due to such factors as the increases in medical fees. Neither he nor the consultants can recommend self-insurance at the rates the City has been paying, however, the report does give a consultant's opinion that the existing coverage and rates are very good. On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the Finance Director and Insurance Consultant were instructed to bring back to the Council specific proposals for the City's public liability insurance program, and to include quotations on the options which will be included in the recommendation from Bayly, Martin and Fay, Inc. MOTION CARRIED. MANPOWER SERVICES PLAN - 1975-76: Mr. William R. Hepburn, Manpower Planner, submitted a revised outline of the 1975-76 budget plan, submitted April 29, 1975, and noted the two revisions, one being an additional sum of $3,344 which is reflected in vocational education under joint programs and in the Summer Youth Program under City programs, changing the total for estimated Title I funding in 1975-76 to $797,774. In another change, he advised that it had been estimated there would be approximately $500,000 revenue under Title II, however, the latest estimate given by the United States Department of Labor is that there will be $211,172 for the Title II Public Service Employment Program for the 1975-76 fiscal year. Inasmuch as the estimated income from Title VI will be approximately 1½ times last year's amount, it is felt all existing public employment program enrollees can be maintained through June of 1976, in addition to 30 to 40 new positions. Councilman Seymour asked what means would be employed to demonstrate whether the Title I program activities have been successful. Mr. Hepburn replied that the audit procedures required by the Labor Depart- ment will identify not only the financial aspects of the program, but the performance of stated goals, and will ensure that all activities are related'to manpower job placement. Within the City program, it is planned to conduct a preliminary audit of each contract. He gave as an example, listed on Page 13 in the comprehensive manpower service plan for budget year 1975-76, it is projected that 18 residents will be served by the veteran split job program; and on Page 14, it is expected that 12 residents will be enrolled in the child care program, with 64 children being accommodated. 75-449 City Hail, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 13, 19757 1:30 P.M. Councilman Seymour expressed confidence that the programs would be effected and Federal Audit Standards met as required; however, he stated it was his personal feeling that the responsibility of the City Council extends further; that he wanted to be able to display the program to the Anaheim taxpayers at the end of this fiscal year and invite them to compare progress with that of any other community. On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the Comprehen- sive Manpower Services Plan for the budget year 1975-76 was approved. MOTION CARRIED. UTILITIES CUSTOMER INFORMATION SYSTEM - TRES COMPUTER SYSTEMS~ INC.: Memorandum from the Utilities Director dated April 30, 1975, was submitted requesting authorization to enter into negotiations with TRES Computer Systems, Inc. of Dallas, Texas, for consulting services for the implementation of a proprietary computer software package to replace the existing utility information and billing system, together with appropriate licenses and rights to use the proprie- tary material. In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Utilities Director Gordon Hoyt advised that it may be possible to note on the utility billings, for information to the public, the fees that Southern California Edison Company is charging, however, to include their various rates would be quite involved and there would be accompanying costs involved. Mr. Hoyt briefly described the background of studies conducted by his department since 1971 of various billing systems and their determination that TRES is the only company having a record of successful installations in a number of utilities. City Manager Keith Murdoch reported that representatives of Arthur Young & Company, the firm currently engaged in an audit of management practices of the City, have indicated they have not found any company whose system can compare with that of TRES. In response to question by Councilman Seymour, Mr. Hoyt advised that Arthur Young & Company had not been asked to render an opinion as to the validity of the projected one-time cash flow increase of $1,000,000. He explained that under the new system, the time factor between reading meters and billing the customer would be reduced, thereby bringing the payments in earlier. The overall financial situation would remain the same. Councilman Seymour was of the opinion that because the $1,000,000 cash flow could be invested, the City would enjoy a benefit which could pay for the installation of the new system in a few years. Councilman Seymour moved that the negotiations with TRES Computer Systems, Inc., for a customer information system be authorized. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. R. W. BECK AND ASSOCIATES - INCREASE IN CONTRACT AMOUNT: Utilities Director Gordon Hoyt briefed the contents of his memorandum report dated April 30, 1975, recommending that the contract with R. W. Beck and Associates, Consulting Engineers, be increased by $35,000 to an amount not to exceed $105,000 (as pro- vided in the 1974-75 Budget). He advised that the City's current contract with the firm is to provide technical services in connection with various Southern California Edison Company related litigations and negotiations. He further reported that as result of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in the Conway "price squeeze" case, remanding the case to the Federal Power Commission, the City's Attorneys have indicated that the Federal Power Commission has asked the Court to stay that decision while the Commission determines whether it will appeal the matter to the Supreme Court. On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the contract with R. W. Beck and Associates was authorized increased by $35,000 to an amount not to exceed $105,000. MOTION CARRIED. 75-450 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 13~ !975~ 1:30 P.M. RECOMMENDATION REGARDING UTILITY RATE INCREASES - CONTINUED: In accordance with the action taken by the City Council April 22, 1975, that the base utility rate schedules and fuel cost adjustment be established at approximately 5% below Southern California Edison Company rates, with no discrimination between the various user categories, Mr. Hoyt submitted a revised rate schedule dated May 13, 1975 (copies furnished each Council Member). He summarized the accom- panying memorandum report, advising that domestic and most commercial customers will pay a minimum of 5% less than Southern California Edison Company customers, and he knows of no customer who will pay more to Anaheim than he would pay to Edison. Mr. Hoyt further reported on assumptions included in the schedule, that it has been estimated that there will be no wholesale base rate increase, and that the fuel cost adjustment will be in accordance with the letter from the Southern California Edison Company dated March 21, 1975, with the addition of the current $1.00 per barrel surcharge as imposed by the President of the United States. If these assumptions hold, as a result of the projected rate increase it is expected that a transfer of $3.5 million unrestricted cash flow to the General Fund should be possible. In response to question by Mayor Thom, Mr. Hoyt advised that eight rate schedules would be changed, some with multiple rates, in order to effect the proposed increase in rates. In comparing these with the City's wholesale costs, he advised that none are below the costs and three rate schedules are equal to the costs; the lowest price rate block in the industrial rate, in the large commercial rate, and in the agricultural pumping rate is equal to the City's wholesale cost, including losses from the Edison Company. If the whole- sale fuel cost adjustments are as Edison has indicated, the lowest price block probably should decrease during the coming months and he recommended that he appear before the Council on a monthly basis for review of these matters. Councilwoman Kaywood was of the opinion that residential customers should be made aware that their rates are 5% less than the Edison Company rates, and she suggested a notation on residential bills. Mr. Hoyt reported that the current billing system would not allow an additional statement on the residential billings only. He suggested that a supplementary notice might be sent along with those bills. In response to question by Mayor Thom, Mr. Hoyt advised that under the proposed new schedules, no customer in Anaheim would be paying rates at less than the wholesale cost to the City. Councilman Seymour questioned, should the recommendation before the Council be approved, if any particular user can now be easily compared to Edison rates and, if Edison rate changes are made, will there be any great problem in effecting said changes so that City rates will continue to reflect a compara- bility to Edison. He requested assurance that in the future, when comparing rates and should Edison's rates go up or down, that the Council will have the same flexibility in rendering decisions for implementation. Mr. Hoyt advised that the Council would have the flexibility of absolute comparability and any percentage number could be used without difficulty. Councilman Seymour was of the opinion that there should be some provision in the City budget for a "disaster plan", in the event the expected $3.5 million revenue not be realized, to provide for the possibility of either raising rates to the equivalent of Edison rates or dispensing with some of the budgeted activites. The City Manager reported that the framework of a contingency plan has been prepared in connection with the projected 1975-76 Budget, which will illustrate alternatives for priority selection by the City Council. RESOLUTION NO. 75R-243: Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 75R-243 for adoption, effecting the adjustment of utility rates, rules and regulations as contained in the recommendation by the Utilities Director.

(5: O1 P.M. ) AFTER RECESS: Mayor Thom called the meeting to order, all Members of the City Council being present. (5'06 P.M.) ANAHEIM HILLS GOLF COURSE CONCESSION UTILITIES - YATES INVES2~ENTS~ INC.: Pursuant to request submitted April 29, 1975, by Ray G~ Yates, Yates Investments, Inc., Concessionaire at the Anaheim Hills Golf Course (]lubhouse, for relief from a utility bill at the food concession operation and for amendment to his contract with the City for payment of utilities ~n a fiat amount of $350 monthly, Mr. Hank Wiley of the City's Energy Services Division reported on a study made of the energy consumption at the clubhouse. He advised that the billing is currently divided with 80% to the Concessionaire~ 10% to the City, and 10% to the pro shop; and it was found that a 40 horsepower irrigation pump and restroom facilities on the golf course are presently served from the clubhouse meter and should properly be billed to the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department. It is estimated that the energy used by these facilities comprises approximately 10% of the entire bill, in addition to the 10% the City currently pays. Mr. Wiley referred to a plan of the clubhouse posted on the west wall of the Council Chamber, pointing out that approximately 52% of the space is occupied by the food service operation, 31% by the City's portion, and 17% by the pro shop. At present, there is no available method of measuring the actual heating and air conditioning consumption, and at such time as these can be measured, he was of the opinion that the allocation of bills should be made on a square footage basis. Due to the lack of an automatic turnoff device, the heating and air conditioning systems have been operating on a 24-hour per day basis in the past. Detailed information regarding electric loads has just been received from the Public Works Department which may provide a basis for recommendation to install separate meters for the various clubhouse occupants within two to three weeks. In response to question by Mayor Thom, Mr. Wiley advised that the informa- tion given at the April 29, 1975 meeting that only the clubhouse was on the existing utility meter had proved to be incorrect, lie recommended that the past billing be divided on the basis of 60% to the Concessionaire, 30% to the City and 10% to the pro shop. Parks, Recreation and the Arts Director John Collier reported that the bill for the past 17 months ending April 30, 1975 was approximately $13,000, 60% thereof being $7,800. He further advised how electrical consumption is divided on the Los Angeles City and County Golf Courses. Mr. Ray G. Yates addressed the Council advising that he would be willing to pay the $7,800 if that was his fair share and if it could be pro-rated over the balance of his contract with the City. Councilman Seymour was of the opinion that to allow payment of the $7,800 over the length of the Concessionaire's lease would, in essence, be the equiva- lent of loaning him the money; and this would make it difficult to deny the same accommodation to any other city businessman who might make a similar 75-452 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 13, 1975~.. 1:30 P.M. request. Inasmuch as all the alternatives are not currently available for consideration, he felt that the City Council should not amend the contract at this time. He suggested that the entire matter be referred to the recently established Golf Course Commission for review. Councilman Sneegas expressed concern that if separate meters are installed, the Concessionaire should not be billed for such installation. He noted that the Concessionaire received the entire billing for 17 months service at one time, and it is not a matter of neglect on Mr. Yates' part that the bill has not been paid. Further, the Concessionaire is uncertain as to just how much energy his operation consumes, and'in his opinion, there should be a written provision in the contract which would ensure pas~ent of the $7,800 in the event the Concessionaire should terminate operations prior to expiration of the 10 years. At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Pebley moved that until such time as a more definitive cost is determined, the Concessionaire's monthly bill from the May 1, 1975 billing be established at a flat rate of $400 per month for a 90-day period, each payment to be due and payable no later than the 15th of the following month; that the Public Works Department be instructed to take necessary steps to install a separate metering system at the clubhouse; and at the end of the 90-day period and when a definite cost is determined as result of the meter installation, the entire matter of the 17-month billing be referred to the Golf Course Advisory Commission. Councilman Sneegas seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
