UP-DATE - PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE STUDY: Pursuant to action taken by the City Council at its regular meeting held t~y 13~ 1975, directing the submission of specific proposals from the Finance Director and insurance consultants for tae City's public liability insurance program, and the subsequent progress report given by the Finance Director on May 27, 1975, Mr. Ringer referred to letter dated June 9, 1975, from the City's insurance agent, Mr. Herb Stabbert (copies furnished each Council Member) pertaining to the renewal of the public liability insurance, effective July 1, 1975. Mayor Thom entered the Council Chamber. (1:42 P.M.) The letter from the insurance agent lists two alternatives, as follows: Alternative No. 1, renewal with the Insurance Company of the Pacific Coast, the current insurance carrier, at an annual premium of $304,000 on the basic policy, with an estimated $40,000 premium for excess coverage up to a maximum of $10,000,000 with Mission Insurance Company, or $344,000 total annual premium. Alternate No. 2 lists three plans, A, B, and G~ all for deductible primary policies, which in effect would place the City into self-insurance, up to the deductible amount. It was the opinion of the insurance agent that the City should renew the policy with the current carrier, having no deductible amount, and Mr. Ringer noted his own recommendations that the City should not enter into any type of self-insurance program, nor any deductible plan. He pointed out that under the deductible plans, although the premiums would be lower, the administrative costs would be a sizable expense, in addition to the necessary payment of all claims less than the amount deductible. In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Ringer reported that whether the existing policy was renewed or one of the new plans adopted, the term of the policy would be for one year. On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the recommendations of the Finance Director to renew the existing primary liability policy with The Insurance Company of the Pacific Coast, and the excess liability policy with Mission Insurance Company, effective July 1, 1975, was accepted. ~OTION CARRIED. Mr. Ringer further reported that he and the City Attorney were carefully studying self-insurance programs, and would report any significant data to the City Council as it is learned. RESOLUTION NO. 75R-294: On report and recommendation of tae City Manager, Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 75R-294 for adoption, autaorizing an amendment to the application for Community Development Block Grant, Housing Assistance Plan, increasing the number of units proposed in accordance with information received from HUD.

RESOLUTION NO. 75R-295 - POLICY~ ADMINISTRATION OF FEDERAL AID URBAN PROGRAM: City Manager Keith A. Murdoch read a resolution prepared by the City of Garden Grove, and proposed for action by the five cities in the consortium, outlining a policy to be presented to the United States Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities regarding the administration of a Federal Aid Urban System Program.

ANA~EIM STADIUM - STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS A~ OESIGN~ THEODORE E. ANVICK: The City Manager read memorandum report dated June 16, 1975, from the Cl~ief ~uilding Inspector noting structural analysis and inspection of Anaheim Stadium, and alternative methods to remedy the vibratory deflection. The memorandum recommended approval of a contract not to exceed $10,450, to engage Theodore E. Anvick, Structural Engineer, to analyze and design the most cost effective system of preventing vibration of the stands during future rock concerts. The report emphasized the fact that the Stadium is safe for public use at the present time. Mayor Thom questioned whether the City Council or Anaheim Stadium, Inc. would be responsible for the costs of any structural alterations w, lch might be recommended, should the contract with the structural engineer be executed. Mr. Leonard Smith, President, Anaheim Stadium, Inc., stated that the Stadium Corporation is specifically limited as to the disposition of funds, and he was not in a position to answer the question, pending a recommendation as result of the structural analymis and determine whether such alteration, if necessary, would be considered a corrective measure or an additional structure. Mr. Murdoch was of the opinion that since the facility was designed as a multi-use stadium, any structural alterations might be an expenditure which could be undertaken by the Corporation, if requested by the City Council. Rock concerts were not specified as one of the uses, although they might well have been, and since the City is the user of the facility which is a source of income, it might be appropriate for the City to undertake the expenditure. Of the $10,450 amount mentioned, $2,000 would pay for the preliminary investiga- tion already completed. Councilman Sneegas was of the opinion that the Stadium Corporation should consider the payment of the entire amount. Councilwoman Kaywood expressed concern that if concrete were used to fill the cantilevered steel beam~ to stablize the stands, the structure might be less safe in the event of an earthquake. It was noted by Mr. Murdoch that precautions would have to be taken in design to insure the earthquake safety factor. 75-546 ~ity Hall; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17; 1975; .1;30 P.M. Mr. Anvick was present and again pointed out that the Stadium is perfectly safe at present. The area of concern is rock concert events. In response to question by Councilman Seymour, Mr. Murdoch susgested that the proposed contract be between the City of Anaheim and Mr. Anvick, inasmuch as the Stadium Corporation does not hold frequent meetings, and there is a need to move ahead with analysis and remedial action. Ultimate payment could be discussed with Anaheim Stadium, Inc. Councilman Seymour stated Re was concerned that the project be effected in the most professional manner possible, in order that it can be demonstrated to the citizens and to the users of the facility that every possible safety,pre- caution has been taken, regardless of the event. Copies of an education and experience resume for Mr. Anvick were submitted to each Council Member. RESOLUTION NO. 75R-296; Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 75R-296 for adoption.

UTILITIES CUSTOMER INFORMATION SYSTE~ - TRES COMPUTER SYSTEMS; INC.: At the regular meeting held May 13, 1975, the City Council authorized 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 proprietary material. Utilities Director Gordon Hoyt referred to copy of a proposed agreement and attached documents (copies furnished each Council Member), and briefed his memorandum report dated June 10, 1975, recommending the award of a contract to TRES to provide, modify, and implement their proprietary computer software package together with consulting services on a time and material basis to install a Customer Information System (CIS) with online inquiry to replace the City's existing Utility Billing System. 75-~47 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17; 1975; 1:30 P.M. The agreement provides that TRES costs, including the proprietary software package, will not exceed $2~0,000 without prior written approval of the City; the City's additional costs to implement the system are estimated to be about $250,000; the total cost of the new System when fully implemented is estimated to be $500,000. Mr. Hoyt noted the agreement calls for the City to provide the equivalent of one full-time secretarial/clerical person for the life of the project and advised they would attempt to supply the required clerical support using exist- ing personnel within the Utilities Department. He reported that th~ following assumptions were made in the proposed agreement: 1. The City will continue to operate its own IBM 370 computer with a Disk Operating System/Virtual Storage (DOS/VS) operating system. 2. Additional computer core will be acquired by the Data Processing Division during system development in order to provide the necessary test time on the City's equipment. Data Processing is reviewing the availability of the required additional core on a one-year lease basis. The approximate cost will be $1,500 per month. 3. Optical scanning equipment will be purchased for automated input of meter reads and cash payments. The one-time cost of this equipment is about $35,000 plus a monthly maintenance fee of $150. It will eliminate the keypunch work of about two and one-half operators and two leased keypunch machines. The dollar value of these eliminated costs is about $36,700 per year. Further, the scanner will be available for about 20 hours a day for applications other than meter reads and cash payments. Arthur Young & Company has recommended that the Utility consider optical scanning as an approach to inputting electric and water meter readings into the City's computer. 4. Because of the elimination of "hard-copy" billing registers and other billing system printouts, there will be need for microfilm hardware and service for required record storage. Further study will be required to determine these costs. The use of microfilming will further reduce the costs of operating the system. With reference to Page No. 9 of the proposed agreement, Item No. VI, A, Councilwoman Kaywood questioned what the cost would be for maintenance service by the consultant, since no amount is included in the agreement. Mr. Hoyt replied that a follow-up maintenance contract is not expected; the project is a joint development effort, with various City departments involved, and he was confident that Data Processing and in-department personnel would be able to maintain the system, which will take approximately one year to implement. Councilwoman Rmywood referred to Page No. 18 of the proposed agreement with reference to taxes on the license which might be imposed by any govern- mental authority and inquired what the approximate amount of such taxes might be. Mr. Hoyt reported that no taxes are expected, however, if the license is deemed to be taxable, the amount could be 6% of the $95,000 license fee. In response to question by Mayor Thom, Mr. Hoyt reported that until the system has been fully implemented, it is not known what portions of the pre- vious program to develop a Utilities Billing System might be salvageable. In the other utilities which have been reviewed, it is apparent that whether they were publicly or privately owned, a better job was done where a consultant was utilized. Mr. Murdoch asked whether the first assumption listed in the report from the Utilities Director regarding equipment was in accordance with the recom- mendations of Arthur Young & Company. Data Processing Manager Keith Parkyn reported that a more sopl~isticated operating system was recommended by Arthur Young & Company, however, he did not concur with that recommendation. At the present time the City 15 sharing the 75-548 City }iall, Anal~eim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17~ 1975~ .1:30 P.:4. Municipal Data Systems (M.D.S.) Computer Facility, and si~ould they or tt~e City elect to sever that relationship, the City might not wish to fund the entire center alone and would elect to make a transition to smaller hardware. The more sophisticated and expensive operating system would not operate on the smaller hardware whereas the current operating system would, and therefore, it was his recommendation that this one Art~ur Youn~ & Company recommendation not be followed. In response to question by Councilman Seymour, Mr. Parkyn reported that t~e Arthur Young & Company representatives commenced work in the Data Processing Division just one week after he became managcr, and finished ten weeks later. At the time, the possibility of MOS acquiring additional cities for tt~e benefit of all concerned was being considered. After becoming more familiar with ~fOS and economic realities, he felt from a business standpoint it would not be prudent to make ghe change to the more expensive equipment. Mr. Parkyn further advised that the TRES system could still operate if the change to the more sophisticated equipment in a few years was accOmplished, but would require some changes and expenditures of funds; the principles involved in the proposed design would allow for that transition. The question would be whetaer the marginal costs at the time would warrant the savings over some period of time. Councilman Seymour questioned whether that expenditure would be a significant amount, noting his concern that because of the proposed $500,000 investment, a customer system built for Utilities could commence to dictate the other City demands and needs for Data Processing equipment. Mr. Parkyn replied that the customer service billing function currently comprises close to 50% of the City's data processing activities and the needs of one major user so important to the City will always dictate the type of system and equipment used. The proposed operating system is widely used and would not lock the City into one way of going, which is consistent with good management practices. If the City takes the step of upgrading the system, it could not be reduced at some later time without considerable expense. Altaough he thought it was unlikely, the system would be designed in such a way that if it is determined in a few years that the move up to a larger system is desirable, the chan§e could be accomplished at an estimated cost of $25,000; the cost to move the system downward would be considerably more. If the City should separate from the MDS operation, the system would run with essentially no alteration. Because data processing systems are so highly regimented, Mr. Parkyn advised that careful planning for the future is merited. If the course is plotted and followed, the City will realize considerable savings; if 'there is vacillation, these savings will disappear. The ~quipment plan is the foundation of the projects, and if Management's assumptions are in accord with the City Council, the system will perform. Councilman Seymour then inquired whether the recommendations of the Arthur Young & Company would be fully, totally and completely implemented with the equipment being discussed, with the exception of a more sophisticated operating system. Mr. Parkyn replied in the affirmative, noting that most recommendations have already been carried out. In response to question by Councilwoman Ka~vwood, Mr. hoyt explained there would be no savings when the system is in operation, but billing would be faster, resulting in a one-time increase in cash flow. Councilman Seymour expressed his concern that after implementation of the proposed system, some time later it will not be reported that in order to implement additional wishes of Department Heads, considerably more money will be necessary. City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17; 1975; 1:30 P.M.

CONTI~UED PUBLIC HhARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 74-75-32 AND VARIANCE NO. 2700: Application of David S. Collins for a change in zone from RS-A-43,000 to ~.~- 1200 and the following Code waivers to permit construction of a 77 unit apartment complex at the northwest corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Pearl Street was submitted together with application for exemption status from the requirement to prepare an environmental impact report: a. Minimum floor area. b. Minimum distance between buildings. The City Planning Co~nission, pursuant to Resolution Nos. PC75-93 and PC75-99, recommended the project be exempt from the requirement to prepare an environmental impact report, pursuant to the provisions of t~e California Environmental Quality Act; and furt~er recommended approval of subject reclassification, and granted Variance No. 2700 subject to conditions as noted in t~e Council Minutes of June 10, 1975. Public hearing was continued from the regular meeting held June 10, 1975, for the preparation of line-of-sight drawings to graphically illustrate that the Wilshire-Woods apartment complex located adjacent on the north would not be subject to the visual intrusion of rock roofs and trash containers, and for the possible increase in planter area. Line-of-sight drawings were posted on the east wall of the Council Chamber, and Mr. Leonard Smith, 125 South Claudina Street, Agent, addressed the Council advising that it is possible to increase the proposed two-foot planter area between the existing wall and the proposed retaining wall to three feet. In checking with various sources regarding the required planter area for Italian cypress trees, he had received a letter dated June 16, 1975, from Mr. Roy L. Kirk of Kirk's Nursery advising that Italian cypress trees were very appropriate for narrow planting areas. Yew pine trees, which have the advan- tage of a uniform foliage spread and can be trimmed and shaped, planted against walls, and adapted to provide a solid screen, were also recommended. Photographs of Italian cypress trees of various sizes and locations, some within a planter area width of two feet behind a retaining wall, were sub- mitted. Referring to the posted line-of-sight drawings, Mr. Smith noted ,ow these trees could screen the view from the second and third floor windows of the Wilshire-Woods buildings to the north. In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Smith advised that the screening factor on the line-of-sight drawings was based on a three-year growth of the trees. 75-550 . /' T'T ~ ,~ r'~ , . . , .

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED 1975-76 BUDGET: Public hearing on the proposed 1975-76 Budget for the City of Anaheim was continued from the meeting of June 10, 1975. Pursuant to comments made by Councilman Seymour on June 10, 1975, City ~nager Keith A. Murdoch gave a brief analysis of the summary information in the proposed budget. ~yor Thom left the Council Chamber. (3:20 P.M.) He compared the projected figures with those of the adjusted budget for the fiscal year, noting that the following four major items very nearly total the entire increase of $8,560,000 plus over the past year's adjusted figure: 1. The increase for purchase of electricity for resale purposes', $6,858,000. 2. Purchase of water, $389,730 (plus electricity cost which was not included). 3. and 4. A completely new item in Federal funds, Community Development Act funding, $511,000, together with an additional anticipated amount in the Manpower Actions, estimated at $751,573. Adding these four items together comes to $8,510,303, which indicates that the adjusted budget request is close to the dollar amount for the past fiscal year, even though it has been adjusted to accommodate the effect of the salary increases granted last year in the estimated amount of $1,600,000. The inflationary percentage which has occurred across the board was not taken into consideration (more than 10.78% - approximately $800,000). Mr. Murdoch stated that he did not mean to indicate that just because pre- sent operations are actually budgeted for the coming year at a l~sser figure (assuming the activities and operations of last year were at t~e appropriate level) that perhaps there are no additional savings in those areas. That is not the case because when the budget is analyzed in considerable detail there are areas where, with a second, third or fourth look, additional money can, in fact, be saved. 75-552 City Halli Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M. Mayor Thom returned to the meeting and Councilman Pebley left the Council Chamber. (3:26 P.M.) Certain items were commented on last week which, for the most part, are based on the long standing or cumulative effect of the decisions made by previous City Councils. Mr. Murdoch was of the opinion that if the policy of carrying these items as a City expense is to be continued, the $119,000 plus amount proposed, is considered to be an appropriate amount. Two categories which overlap somewhat are Travel and Authorized Expense ($8~,867), and Authorized Expense - Commissioners ($30,670). These comprise several categories and include: (Councilman Pebley returned to the meeting. 3:30 P.M.) Meals and Meetings of Boards and Commissions, task force and committee meetings officially established by the City Council, in the amount of $4,810. A similar item is Annual Conferences in the amount of $30,542. which includes conferences which may occur for the purpose of allowing the profes- sional or technical person to keep up with changes and advances in his field and changes in technology. It does not include the item of $4,145 for the attendance at the.annual League of California Cities Conference, which is of a similar nature, but is kept as a separate item. The largest of the entire group is the category of Local Organizations, Staff and Working Meetings in the amount of $38,750. This may be split into two basics, the first being staff and working meetings with Congressional and State Legislators in local and more distant areas, and secondly, the attendance by staff at monthly meetings with technical organizations, particularly in the engineering and police fields. Reimbursable and Grant in the amount of $7,850 includes many of the same types ~of items included in the other categ.ories but are those which are payable through Federal and State grant funds. Miscellaneous and Other in the amount of $2,770 includes those miscellaneous items which Could not be categorized in'any other of the foregoing. The second group separates Council and Commission meeting expenses as authorized in the City Charter and by Ordinance. An item which falls in the same general area as Travel and Authorized Expense is Oues and Memberships in the total amount of $90,902, which are those dues and memberships which are felt to be of significant value to the City. Another similar item is Books, Periodicals and Magazines (including necessary legal publications); this is primarily an additional expenditure to keep up in the technical areas, and amounts to $178,675. Mr. Murdoch further advised that the budget contains two basic categories for capital expenditure, "Capital Outlay" and "Capital Improvements". The Capital Outlay category is considered an operational expense, and is for replacement of equipment and furnishings. The figure proposed for this year is $3,442,196 (3.47% of the total operating budget) and includes lease payments in the amount of $2,815,000. Councilman Sneegas left the Council Chamber. (3:38 P.M.) The Capital Improvements category totaling $5,928,444 includes new and additional equipment, and any improvements to property, buildings, etc. The largest of the capital improvement items are: $80,000 for a fire pumper; $110,000 for police communications to supplement the Police radio transmission to pick up the "blind spots", particularly in the canyon area; $44,000 in property maintenance for remodeling and major repairs and replace- ments in various City properties; street lighting shows a $60,000 amount; $291,000 for park development and improvement; and miscellaneous items, $313,691. Also, included in this item are funds for capital~improvements in the trust fund areas, housing and urban development funds. 75-553 City llall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M. Councilman Sneegas returned to the meeting. (3:42 P.M.) In conclusion, Mr. Murdoch was of the opinion that it is critical to the City that some input from the Council be received before the close of the budget hearings concerning its attitude towards the expenditures and categories mentioned. In an overall analysis of the budget, it can be noted that next to tile purctlase of power for resale, the largest expenditure category is that of Salaries and Fringe Benefits, amounting to between $34 , 000 , 00() and ~35,0,01},0~)0, wttich must be considered if there is to be any substantial cut in the total budget. He reported that during budget preparation all departments had been requested to submit a "Zero Budget", showing no dollar increase over the current fiscal year; any increase in program activity due to increased population, addi- tional physical facilities, etc., to be absorbed; providing practically no new programs; taking care of all opera'ting and capital requirements at the same dollar figure as the 1974-75 BurSter. T~is "Zero Budget" has been .Submitted by most departments and is available, illustrating what the manpower reductions would be if the budget were to be cut to that point. He was of the opinion that such a reduction would severely reduce the existing personnel categories and positions. Further, Mr. Murdoch was of the opinion that in order to come to any conclusion on the proposed budget, a clear policy indication from the City Council is necessary as to adjustment of rates to cover commodity costs, specifically in the area of the electrical rates. If, in fact, the wholesale rate increases beyond what has been projected, is it the intention of this Council to off-set that wholesale rate increase with an equivalent dollar increase in retail rates. The budget was prepared contemplating such a policy. Mayor Thom called attention to recent action taken by the Council on the electrical rate increases~ designating that Anaheim rates would be established at approximately 5% below the equivalent rates of the Edison Company. He asked if the question now was, if the wholesale rate increases, does the Council intend to raise retail rates equal with Edison. Mr. Murdoch noted one of the assumptions that had been made in the Utilities Director's report on rate increases, was, as wholesale and retail rates increase, Anaheim rates would continue to be 5% below the equivalent Edison Company retail rates. The proposed budget includes that assumption. He also questioned the Council's intent as to a general policy regarding water rates. Mr. Hoyt reported that there is an automatic water commodity clause in the water rates which takes effect July 1, 1975, to reflect a formula change in imported State water. In response, Councilman Seymour stated that if the general philosophical question is: given the parameters of a 5% barrier, then assuming the base - as increases in cost of products go up, so go the rates - his personal philosophy would be "yes", given the circumstances that first, every possible attempt has been made to avoid that increase. But, on the other hand, he would say "no" if it is to be assumed ali costs have been trimmed and all economics have been effected and therefore, it's time to move and adopt a policy. That personally, he would like to be 10% under Edison and such action should be instituted as the possibility becomes apparent. Councilman Seymour referred to Page 1-28 of the proposed budget containing a summary of appropriations by object for the Fiscal Years 1974-75 and 1975-76, as proposed, comparing the dollar amounts and percentages for the two years. He felt the 10 year history of capital outlay and capital improvements as submitted was misleading. ~e was o~ the opinion that in order to accurately comprehend the budgetary figures, the purchase power factor should be removed from the contractual services line as well as the total budget line of the comparison of figures; the remainder being the figures which Council can con- trol. As a result, Salaries and Wages would equal 55% of the total proposed 1975-76 Budget figure, not 28.39%; Contractual Services would Be 10.3%, not 75-554 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUP~CIL ~IIN~TE8 - June 17~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M. 4O.iAZ; Capital Outlay would be 5.~-~7:~, not 3.Li%; and Capital Improvements would be 13.8~:~, not 5.97%. Comparing those figures with percentages of 1974-75, usin~ the same basis, Salaries and Wages, in fact, comprise 48.75Z of the total b~dget, as compared with 55% projected for the 1975-76 Fiscal Year. That in indicating graphic comparisons, the results depend on what numbers you choose to u.~e and how you apply the percentages, particularly in the purchase of power area which the City cannot control. Councilman Se~aour felt that from the budget presentation today, it would seem the assumption is made that during budget preparation all excess had been removed from the City government as of July 1, 1~74, and that the proposal is for a bare bones budget. He was of the opinion that if this assumption were true, there would have been no need for the ~-[anageme~t Practices Audit being conducted in the City by Arthur Young & Company, and no potential savings would have been uncovered by that firm. Mr. Murdoch reiterated his earlier remark, that it can not be assumed that this is the best base possible. With reference to specific items, Councilman Seymour explored possible savings on City vehicles, indicating the possibility that many of the low mileage vehicles assigned to Department Heads could be assigned to the divi- sions where they would be in greater use, thereby rendering many of the pro- jected new vehicles unnecessary. He particularly questioned ~he projected purchase of a $5,000 four-door station wagon for the Ouplicating and Printing Division. Also, he felt a number of Department Heads with the newer vehicles only drive them to and from work. Mr. Murdoch advised that this was a necessary replacement vehicle for the one currently being used by the City's mailman. Ite explained that the vehicle amounts are budgeted in the departments that receive the new or replacement vehicle, however, most of these vehicles are eventually stepped dom~ to another utilization unless in fact, they are non-economical to operate, in which case they go to auction. Councilwoman Kaywood left the Council Chamber. (4:09 P.M.) In response to question by Councilman Se~our as to how it is determined whether or not a particular vehicle is needed, Mr. Murdoch advised that the procedure for determining the need for vehicles involves a yearly list from the Mechanical Maintenance Superintendent showing which vehicles need to be replaced and why, and which one should be stepped down. Approximately 14 cars are assigned to various Department ~eads. Councilman Seymour concluded there were probably 14 low-mileage department head cars around, which could be replaced with high-mileage vehicles, instead of including $5,000 capital items for new vehicles in the budget. That i~e wanted to delay the purchase of any new vehicle for another year, if it was possible. Councilman Sneegas failed to see the benefit in delaying the purchase of vehicles when prices therefor, in all probability, will be increaseO a year from now. lie stated he is particularly pleased that some of the City cars used by meter readers are 1957 and 195g models and that at one time, the City's mail carrier was using an old police station wagon. Councilwoman Kaywood returned to the meeting. (4:13 P.M.) Further, Councilman Sneegas was of ti~e opinion that most American auto- mobiles average 85,000 to 90,000 miles before riley reach the stage where upkeep increases sharply and, with the exception of emergency vehicles, most of the City cars equal that record. Due to the increase in the prices of smaller cars, the moderate sized models are now probably the true economy cars. iie did not dispute there might be some possible savings to be realized, but felt the dollar would be worth less next year than it is today, and this factor should be considered. 73-555 City ~iall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17; 1975; 1:30 P.M. Councilman Seymour stated l~is definition of an economy car is one which is more economical in price, operation, and repair costs, lie noted the possi- bility that next year the City could do without some of these new vehicles. 5Ir. Murdoch noted that in the Police Department, lower horsepowered vei]icles were initiated as patrol cars approximately one year ago, as recom- mended by the Mechanical Maintenance Superintendent. A significant savings has been realized, however a few arrests have been lost in chase situations. It is felt that the new vehicles shown in the Police budget are necessary to the department operation. Councilman Seymour cited a case where Arthur Young & Company identified a vehicle assigned to the Audit Division which had very low mileage, and it was determined to be unnecessary and was reassigned to the car pool. If it was true in that department, it is probably also true in other departments. Councilman Seymour pointed out that the total yearly costs for the operation of a vehicle are reflected in the proposed budget at $500 to $609 in some City departments, which would seem to indicate that certain vehicles are driven very little, lie indicated his interest in reviewing the age and mileage of each vehicle. Discussion was held regarding the possibility of placing those cars assigned to Oepartment Heads to the motor pool, and Mr. Murdoch pointed out that these vehicles are currently used as pool cars, although they are assigned to the individuals. Mr. Murdoch advised that statistics on each City vehicle are available. The next item taken into consideration was office remodeling, expansion and equipment, and Councilman Seymour pointed out that although there is an increase of one person projected for the Development Services Department, two new desks are budgeted. Development Services Director Ronald Thompson advised that although the position of Assistant Development Services Director had been eliminated, two Transportation Planners had been employed; further, a desk was needed for the CETA survey team. It was explained that there is no provisions for office equipment under the CETA Manpower Program. In response to question by Councilman Seymour, Finance Director M. R. Ringer estimated that there would be approximately 80 CETA employees working in the various City Departments during the coming fiscal year. Councilman Seymour noted that the proposed budget for the Police Depart- ment reflects an increase in personnel of four, however eleven desks and chairs are requested. Police Chief Harold Bastrup came forward to report that with the~dis- solving of the Special Enforcement Bureau, a number of detectives have been placed in the Vice and Narcotics Bureau. These people were formerly in the field, but now will need desks. He advised that 40% of the Police Officer's time is spent in doing absolutely necessary paper work, report writing, documentation, and in preparing reports for court and for permanent files. In addition, several of the desks were in extremely bad condition and needed replacement. In response to question by Councilman Seymour regarding a $3,000 office addition for the Street Maintenance Oivision, Public Works Director Thornton Piersall reported that the funds were for a data processing input unit, the ultimate goal being faster and better service for customer calls. Responding to Councilman Seymour's question regarding $2,000 office alter- ations in the Utilities Director's Office plus $650 for furniture, Utilities Director Gordon Hoyt advised that the furniture was proposed to replace the tables currently being used for desks. It was proposed to refurbish the meter shop area to provide additional office space partially for the new position of Assistant Utilities Oirector, and partially to implement recommendations made by Arthur Young & Company. The meter shop and personnel will be relocated to the Utility Service Center. 75-556 City Hall; Anaheim,. California - COUi.~CIL MIi'~UTE5 - June 17~ 1975~ 1.;J0 F,[~I, Councilman Seymour further noted the budget itc~s of office alterations and additions and questioned whether such were really necessary inasmuch as departments were able to operate under existin~ conditions tl~is past year. Another projected expense referred to by Councilman Sey~;~our was ~10,~)~),~] for the Electrical Administration and Generation Department, and ~.~r. tloyt advised that when the water meter shop is relocated, the Electrical drafting personnel will move to that area from their current inadequate quarters. Councilman Seymour was of the opinion that the proposed budget would not be balanced until some provision was made for salarv increases and for poten- tial increases in utilities and sanitation charges. Further~ he felt that the Finance Director's estimated return on cash flow was probably very conserva- tive. Councilman Pebley left the Council Chamber. (4;46 P.~I.) Mr. Ringer commented that his cash flow estimate was conservative and realistic, and that the past year's increase in wholesale electrical rates has reduced revenue. For return on cash invested, $1,200,000 was budgeted for the current fiscal year and it appears there will be a return of approximately $2,000,000, due to an unpredictably high return on investments during this period. Councilman Seymour stated it seemed to him there should be a more accurate estimate of the projected investment returns for the coming fiscal year. Mr. Murdoch pointed out there was a substantial change of Council policy enacted during 1974-75, in that an increase in electrical costs was not passed along to the consumer. He noted difficulties in formulating a budget without specific general policies on the part of the City Council. Councilman Pebley returned to the meeting. (4:51 P.?~.) Councilman Seymour pointed out that the electrical consumers in the City were saved 1.8 million dollars during the past year, due to tile fact that the City Council was able to utilize a surplus of funds to absorb the increase. ?ir. Murdoch stated he had no quarrel with tile action of the Louncil to withhold an increase in retail electrical rates, however he resented criticism on issues resulting from the fact that he i~ad not anticipated the intentions of Council. Councilman Seymour stated that i~e was speaking of surplus somew~ere in the proposed budget so that if utility rates are increased, or employee salary increases are approved, there will be funds to appropriate. Discussion was held pertaining to sanitation rate increases, Councilwoman Kaywood and Councilman Pebley being of tile opinion tt~at any increase in sanita- tion charges should be passed along to the consumer. Councilwoman Kaywood pointed ou~ that in business, costs are passed to ti~e customer, and si~e felt that sanitation operations are a service, ratl~er than a cost of government. Further, Councilwoman Kaywood was of the opinion that reductions could be made under annual conferences and League of California Cities, and she noted that many Council persons do not attend the monthly work sessions l~cld City of Orange. She also felt that personnel attending conferences should sub- mit a report upon their return. l-~ayor Thom stated he was very reluctant to approve a budget ~aving no identifiable reserve. He was of the opinion t}~at the Department Heads should iUentify a surplus of approximately ~)z~,OqO,()(~, as req~ested by the Council. Councilman Seymour concurred and was of the opinion that the proposed budget has not yet been honed down to a solid document. He also questioned whether tile City Manager was in possession of secondary budget proposals from the Departments Heads which reflected a reduction of $9,000,000. 75-557 City Hall; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17, 1975~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Murdoch advised that there were such proposals, indicating some reduction, however, they almo depicted a substantial reduction in services. Councilman Seymour pointed out that as suggested today and last week, one way to seek a surplus is to look into vehicle and equipment purchases, remodeling and additional facilities, and travel authorization. Another method is that when an employee position becomes vacant through termination or retire- ment, the question should be asked whether or not the position can remain unfilled for the balance of the year, and if it is felt the position must be filled, there should be an appeal processed through the City Council. He felt ~he projected budget was misleading, in that 1,686 positions were budgeted in the 1974-75 Fiscal Year, and 1,713 were projected in 1G75-76, plus approxi- mately 80 CETA personnel, which are not reflected in the Police budget proposal. Mayor Thom asked whether any members of the audience wished to address the City Council; there was no response. Councilman Seymour moved that public hearing on the proposed 1975-76 Budget be continued to June 24, 1975, 2;30 P.M. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion, blOTION CARRIED.

KATHY WRIGHT: Mrs. Kathy Wright, 9426 Cambridge Street, Cypress, California, read a prepared statement concerning her protest to the Anaheim Union High School District that a book entitled "Go Ask Alice" is a basic text- book adopted for 10th through 12th grade levels with readability at ?th grade, and approved for an 8th grade English class at Lexington Junior High School. She briefed remarks and rebuttals from various school officials in response to her appeals when she met with them following her discovery of ~he ~ype of material contained in the book. She pointed out that the book was being used in the junior high school at a lower grade level than that for which it was approved, and noted that a review committee had been appointed by the District Superintendent, Mr. Ken Wines, which found the book to have literary merit and recommended that it remain on the approved reading list. blrs. Wright requested support of the City Council in her protest to the School Oistrict. Mrs. Jean Blackwell, 507 Plymouth Place, was recognized and addressed the Council advisin3 that she had children and a grandchild presently attending schools in the area. She stated she had read the book in question, and although some of the language was unpleasant, the message against the use of drugs far outweighed the language. She was of the opinion that it was unfortu- nate this type of language is prevalent with many of today's young people. Mrs. Blackwell pointed out that certain actions had been taken by the Anaheim Union High School District Board of Trustees since Mrs. Wright spoke at Anaheim High School, including an investigation of the issue, and the replace- ment of the book, along with others, on a list designated as a prescriptive list. She pointed out that prior to that time, the book was available to students only with a signed parental permit. She felt that the schools had taken all necessary actions to control this and any other book which might be found objectional. Mrs. Patricia A. Bailey, 2260 West Lincoln Avenue, Apartment No. B-4, commended Mrs. Wright for making her objections known to the proper author- ities, however, she objected to her appearance before various City Councils as the municipal governing bodies of areas encompassing several school districts. b~rs. Bailey stated she had 16 years experience as a librarian in private high schools located in Southern California, and she had found that there was very little censorship in those schools. She had experienced no complaints from any one about the book "Go Ask Alice". She read from an article printed in the Los Angeles Times March 12, 1973, pertaining to book burnings and indicated her objection to censorship. Mrs. Cathy Levec, 2650 West Trojan Place, was recognized and advised she wished to commend Mrs. Wright for appearing before the various City Councils because Anaheim High School District does extend into other cities. She pointed out that there was no request to ban or censor the book, but only to remove it from the schools. She advised that she was a concerned parent and a member of the Dale Junior High School PTA Board; that after no response was received to a request to remove the book from the schools, Mrs. Wright and other interested parties proceeded to appeal to the various schools and other governmental bodies as the only course of action open to them. Councilman Pebley was of the opinion that the issue was a matter for the elected Trustees of the School Board to resolve. Mayor Thom shared Councilman Pebley's concern that this elected political body was being requested to make recommendations to another elected body on an issue which is out of its purview, and he would not take it kindly if the situation were reversed. 75-562 - 1:3~ P.M City ~iall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES - June 17,. 1§75, . Councilman Sneegas concurred that the decision on this matter rests with the School Board, however, stated he was offended and shocked by passages from the book which were quoted in material supplied to each Council Member. he objected to tax monies being spent for any book tryin~ to co~nunicate with teenagers with thi~ typ~ of material and felt a ]~etter example could be use~i. As an individual concerned citizen he hoped the book is removed and not made available to young people simply because it is a fact of life. Councilman Seymour stated he has not read the book, and would like ti~e to consider whether or not the issue is City Council b~siness; that lie would like to believe that the City Council has a responsibility to attempt t~o solve problems which confront the citizens. Councilwoman Kaywood was of the opinion that the issue was not within the purview of any City Council, and she would not be willing to take any action on the matter. She stated she had not read the book in question and probably would not. Mayor Thom commended Mrs. Wright for her interest in the eduCation of her own and other children. i,~rs. Wright expressed appreciation for the opportunity to address the Council and for the comments made. No action was taken by the City Council.
