REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY: Demands against the City in the amount of $513,478."20, in accordance with the 1975-76 Budget, were approved. UP-DATE - PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURARCE PROGRAM: Finance Director M. R. Ringer referred to his reco~endation to the City Council on June 17, 1975, and sub- sequent action by the City Council accepting said recommendation, to renew the existing primary liability policy with The Insurance Company of The Pacific Coast, and the excess liability policy with Mission Insurance Company, effec- tive July 1, 1975, giving the City up to $I0,000,000 liability coverage at a total premium of $344,000 (Alternative No. 1). He advised that in his written recommendation and report (dated June 9, 1975), the quotation from Mission Insurance Company was reflected at an approxi~ate $40,000 premium, and since that time, that company has quoted a more firm figure of more than $100,000, while excluding therefrom certain items which the staff feels should be included in the coverage. Therefore, the staff has bound the City to a policy with up to $10,000,000 coverage with an annual premium of $448,760, subject to cancellation, wi~h Stonewall Insurance Company, to allow sufficient time for analysis and decision as to whether a change should be made. He referred to Plan No. A, as depicted on his previous report, which would result in the City being self-insured on the primary policy for the first $100,000, with no deductible on the automobile policy or the excess policy, at a total premium of $278,936, which is less than the premtu~ for full coverage, The rates will re~ain the sa~e while this policy is in effect. 75-682 City Hall~ Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29; 1975~ 1:30 P.M. City Attorney Alan Watts called attention to his memorandum dated July 29, 1975 (copies distributed to each Council Member), consisting of a preliminary proposal for a self-insurance program. He noted the dramatic increases in insurance costs in some areas and advised that most larger California cities are self-insured and seemed to be satisfied with their programs, feeling that they are able to reduce their costs. His report was basically predicated on the cost of excess insurance as reported by the Finance Director, $278,936, plus additional costs for a secretary and a Deputy City Attorney to the City Attorney's staff, contracted claims adjusting service, rental of adjoining office space, purchase of office equipment, capital improvement of the offices, and loss payments for claims less than $100,000, totaling $411,936 for the pro- gram. After reviewing the report, Councilwoman Kaywood noted that the savings of the proposed self-insurance program would be approximately $36,800, and one additional large claim could easily eliminate that savings. Mr. Watts concurred and reported that the largest single claim paid by the City's insurance carrier during the past five years was approximately $87,000 in a wrongful death case. He stated it is customary for the insured to provide the claim services for large deductible policies such as the one proposed. Councilwoman Kaywood expressed the opinion that it would not be worthwhile to be self-insured this year, inasmuch as the amount of savings could be subject to various factors. Councilman Seymour questioned whether there might be other alternatives to the existing policies and the proposal for self-insurance. Mr. Herb Stabbert, Insurance Agent for the City, advised that the City's current program provides that the deductible clause applies only to the general liability policy. One alternative would be to apply the deductible to the automobile liability insurance policy also, which would give more exposure, but would provide some savings. This proposal was currently under investigation by his office, and a final quotation commitment had not yet been received. Mr. Stabberc stated it had been his experience that expert assistance is required to settle liability claims today, which involves investigation and the image projected by the City. Some funds may be saved by going to self- insurance, but the future is in question. While there are statutory limits on Workers' Compensation Insurance, the limits of liability are unknown. It was his recommendation that at this time, the City should continue on a fully- insured basis. In response to question by Councilman Seymour, Mr. Stabbert reported that the insurance premium has increased from $204,000 to $448,000 since iasc year, a situation which affects all municipalities. Councilman Sneegas pointed out that claims paid during a recent year amounted to more than the coverage being proposed for the current fiscal year. Councilman Seymour stated he felt there should be other alternatives, and he noted that personal automobile insurance was typically sold on a deductible basis. Mr. Ringer stated that only collision insurance was sold on a deductible basis, and he advised that the City was 1001 self-insured for auto collision. Mr. Watts reported that for some time, the City has been filing actions against people who damage City property, such as vehicles, power poles, etc. Councilwoman Kaywood inquired whether some savings could be realized by going to self-insurance for small claims amounting to less than $500. Mr. Stabbert was of the opinion the savings would be so insignificant that it would not be feasible. Councilman Seymour asked whether the entire amount of the insurance premium was projected in the 1975-76 Budget. 75-683 City Hall; Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Ringer replied that the increased premium was a minimum of $150,000 over the budgeted amounts. Although the increase was expected, it was not available at the time the budget was prepared. The new policy was taken out on July 1, 1975. At the conclusion of brief discussion, Councilman Pebley moved that the existing public liability insurance policy remain in effect for the balance of the fiscal year. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Sneegas stated it should be understood that a Close check will be maintained on the insurance activity for the balance of the year. He noted that when tremendous settlements are granted for plaintiffs by judges or juries, the costs are passed along to the people who purchase the .insurance. In response to question by Councilman Pebley, Mr. Ringer advised that in the near future he would submit a recommendation to the City Council for funding that portion of the insurance premium not budgeted. Councilman Seymour inquired whether the City budget was $1,000,000 low on projected property tax receipts. Mr. Ringer stated he was currently in the process of getting the actual assessed valuation figures and would report to the City Council on the matter in approximately three weeks. PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE STATE: On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mayor Thom was granted permission to leave the State for 90 days. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED. RESOLUTION NO. 75R-392 - EXHIBITION AGREEMENT WITH SUN FOOTBALL~ INC; The City Attorney outlined certain amendments and additions to the proposed Exhibition Agreement with Sun Football, Inc., (copies previously submitted to each Council Member). He noted that next year the City's contract with the Stadium conces- sionaire, Canteen Corporation, expires, and the situation could be modified at that time. With regard to the City's share of concession commissions and proceeds, Councilman Pebley pointed out that profits should increase next year, inasmuch as the concession equipment will automatically become the property of the City, in accordance with the original lease. Mr. Philip Marantz, A=torney representing Sun Football, Inc., addressed the Council advising that the organization would prefer to retain the language proposed on Page No. IS, Line Nos. 5 through 13, providing 33 1/3Z of the City's share of commissions or other proceeds received from concessionaires in connection with the California Sun Football games. Next year's circumstances will not be known until a new contract is negotiated t° the satisfaction of both parties, and the football corporation does not wish to be restricted to one future path. Councilman Pebley was of the opinion that if the City negotiates a conces- sion contract next year which is more favorable to the City, the football organization should not necessarily enjoy one-third of that larger share. Mr. Marantz stated that in accordance with the language of the proposed agreement, the percentage amount of the City's share of concession profits for Sun Football is reflected as subject to negotiation next year, Councilmen Seymour and Sneega8 concurred and noted that this cannot be negotiated until the present contract expires. With specific reference to one of the proposed amendments to the agree- merit, Mr. Watts recommended that on Page No. 22, Line No. 20, the balance of the paragraph be stricken after the words "yard markers", as the costs of furnishing playing field-tending equipment should be borne by the City. This would not entail an increase in the rental fee. 75-684 City Hall, Anaheim~ .California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Ju~.y .~9m 1975~ 1:30 P.M. In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Stadium-Convention Center Director Tom Llegler reported that the above referenced costs would amount to approximately $100 to $150 for each event. Mr. Marantz advised that Sun Football, Inc., has agreed to all the lan- guage changes as set forth by the City Attorney and requested that the August 1st date agreed upon for their signature to the agreement be extended to August 15, 1975, to allow for preparation and execution of the amended agreement; the letter of intent signed July 1, 1975, to re, hain in effect until the extended date. RESOLUTION NO. 75R-392: On the recommendations of the City Attorney, Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No. 75R-392 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Book. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING AND AUTHOR- IZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AND SUN FOOTBALL, INC. RELATING TO THE EXHIBITION OF PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL AT ANAHEIM STADIUM. Roll Call Vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood, Pebley, Sneegas and Seymour NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Thom The Mayor Pro Tem declared Resolution No. 75R-392 duly passed and adopted. PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18 ZONING; ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE: Public hearing was held to consider an amendment to Title 18, Zoning, of the Anaheim Municipal Code, by adding Section 18.02.045, 18.02.046, 18.02.047, 18.02.048 and 18.02.049 pertaining to the transfer of real property in the City of Anaheim Planning Area "B". Development Services Director Ronald Thompson advised that citizens resid- ing primarily in the Santa Aha Canyon Area have requested that certain informa- tion be provided to purchasers of new homes, as when they purchased their homes, they were unaware of certain factors which may have influenced their decision, such as the location of future parks, major arterial highways, zoning, etc. The Canyon Area General Planning Task Force considered the matter in detail, and the ordinance as proposed would require that copies of the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the Anaheim General Plan, and existing zoning information, be furnished to the purchasers of property in that area, . designated as Planning Area "B". He suggested that a nominal fee of $5 be charged to defray the costs of providing these materials. Councilwoman Kaywood referred to Section 3 of the proposed ordinance, under transfer of real property, being of the opinion that the intent was to inform purchasers of all existing zoning (including conditional use permit, variances, and resolutions of inten~ to rezone) within 300 feet of the boundaries of any residential tract, not within 300 feet of the ~oundaries of any new residential home not located in a tract, as written. Mayor Pro Tern Seymour asked if anyone wished to address the City Council for or against the proposed amendment to the Zoning Code; there being no response, he declared the hearing closed. Mayor Pro Tem Seymour pointed out that one of the situations which helped to bring about the proposed ordinance occurred when homeowners in the canyon area complained that they were unaware that Fairmont Boulevard would become a reality in their vicinity until public hearings were scheduled by the City Council. In order to ensure that this situation would not recur, the issue was considered and the proposed ordinance drafted. He noted that developers who have representation on the Canyon Area General Planning Task Force indicated their approval of some action being taken. ORDINANCE NO. 3452: Councilwoman Kaywood offered Ordinance No. 3452 for first reading, amending Paragraph No. 3 thereof to read: "Existing zoning (including 75-685 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29; 1975~ 1:30 P.M. conditional use permits, variances, and resolutions of intent to rezone) within 300 feet of the boundaries of any new residential tract." AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ADDING TO TITLE 18, CHAPTER 18.02, SECTIONS 18.02.045, 18.02.046, 18.02.047, 18.02.048 AN~ 18.02.049 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNI- CIFAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY IN T~E CITY OF ANAHEIM PLANNING AREA "B". (Information to home buyer about land use and circulation elements of the General Plan including zoning within 300 feet of the boundaries of any new residential tract.) PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT NO. 74-14A; Public hearing was held on proposed abandonment of dedicated alleys located between Santa Ama and Water Street, west of Atchison, in accordance with application filed by C. B. Mortensen, President and General Manager, Kwikset Division of Emhart Corporation, pursuant to Resolution No. 75R-349, duly published in the Anaheim Bulletin and notices thereof posted in accordance with law.

That the applicant will, at no cost to the City, install a gate at the south side of Santa Aha Street at the northerly terminus of the alley to be abandoned, and that the City Public Utilities Department and Southern California Gas Company be permitted to install separate chain and lock. Mayor Pro Tem Seymour asked if anyone wished to address the City Council with regard to the proposed abandonment. Mr. Maurice Jones, Jr., representing Kwikset Division of Emhart Corpor- ation, 518 East Santa Aha Street, advised that their company is purchasing sub- ject property and is willing to meet conditions recommended. He commended the City of Anaheim on their cooperative staff members. Mayor Pro Tem Seymour asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council; there being no response, he declared the hearing closed.

CONDIT~ONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1475 -.REQUEST FOR CANCELLATION: Request was sub- mitted by Gerald R. Bushore for permission to address the City Council on behalf of a group of homeowners to present certain problems having arisen as a result of the City Council's approval of said conditional use permit for the establishment of a half-way house for alcoholism and drug-related problems; property located at 205 South Claudina Street. Said request was continued from the meeting of June 24, 1975. Memorandum report from the Development Services Department dated June 24, 1975, was submitted setting forth pertinent information pertaining to the history of the conditional use permit application and approval. Mr. Bushore was invited to address the Council and advised he was the owner of property located at 205 and 209 East Broadway, and representative of citizens and business people in the area; that he had brought petitions signed by citizens in opposition to the operation of the half-way house. When the public hearing was held on the conditional use permit in 1974, they did not appear in protest because the city hall bond issue election was imminent, it being their understanding that the entire area would be redeVelbped in a reasonable length of time. Mr. Bushore quoted from articles relating to the operation of the half-way house, as contained in the Anaheim Bulletin in July and September of 1974, and noted 'complaints which have been filed with the City Planning Commission. He related some of his complaints and those of other residents in the area, being of the opinion that the garage at the rear of the property had been converted into an apartment, that there are more persons residing on the property than are allowable; and that there is insufficient supervision; further, the improvements required as condition precedent to the granting of subject condi- tional use permit have not been met. Also noted were police calls to the prop- erty due to various disturbances. Mr. Bushore further advised that he preferred not to submit the petitions for the record at this time. Mayor Pro Tem Seymour asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council; there was no response. 75-687 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES ~ July 29, 1975~ 1:30 P.M. Councilman Sneegas moved that the Building Division staff be instructed to investigate the status of the garage structure on the premises for possible Building Code violations, etc., and the Police Department be instructed to investigate and document the alleged problems and report to the City Council. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Bushore was requested to furnish necessary information to assist the Police Department in their investigation. Later in the meeting, Mrs. Oneida Copeland, property owner at 107 South Claudina Street, next door to subject property, requested permission to address the City Council and advised that she and her neighbors desire cancellation of the conditional use permit. She concurred with Mr. Bushore's statements that they were under the impression that the entire block was to be redeveloped for a new city hall complex. The time limit on the conditional use permit has one year remaining, and apparently no reconstruction is projected within that length of time. Mrs. Copeland thereupon related her experiences with the half-way house, noting it has been in operation next door to her residence for six or seven years, and she had been advised that there would be no alcohol or drugs on the premises, and a supervisor would be on hand. In actuality, the operation is offensive to her and other residents in the area. Mrs. Copeland was apprised of action taken earlier by the Council, referring the petitions and complaints to the Police Department and Building Division for recommendation and report. In response to question by Councilman Pebley, Zoning Supervisor Annika Santalahti reported that the conditional use permit was approved for the half- way house to allow 13 occupants, including 2 managers or supervisors, and limited to men only. In response to question by Mrs. Copeland, Mayor Pro Tem Seymour explained the procedures for requesting a public hearing before the City Council. RECLASSIFICATION NO. 68-69-51 AND VARIANCE NO. 2030 - EXTENSION OF TIME: Request of Jeannine Arsenault on behalf of C. and A. Prescott, owners, was submitted for a one-year extension of time to Reclassification No. 68-69-51 and Variance No. 2030, Parcel No. A, together with report from the Development Services Department dated July 29, 1975, recommending approval of said request, subject to the provision that the development of subject property shall be in full compliance with all the current Code regulations pertaining to development in the RM-1200 Zone. Also submitted was report from the City Engineer dated July 21, 1975, recommending said extension of time be granted subject to the following: 1. Posting of a bond for street improvements and payment of street lighting and street tree fees within 60 days. 2. Completion of street improvements within 180 days. Responding to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Zoning Supervisor Annika Santalahti reported that the time limit for subject applications has expired, and there have been certain amendments to the Zoning Code since the original approval thereof. She noted the recommendation contained in the Development Services Department report. Mayor Pro Tem Seymour asked if anyone wished to address the City Council regarding subject request. There was no response. With reference to Item No. 6 of the background information on the Development Services Department report, Councilwoman Kaywood inquired what effect on the project the increase in required parking space provisions would have. Miss Santalahti replied that new plans would be necessary illustrating a reduction in the number of units to accommodate the additional parking spaces. 75-688 City Hall, Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Jul~ 29~ 19751 1~30 P.M. Councilwoman Kaywood moved to deny the request for extension of time. Said motion died for a lack of a second. Further discussion was held, and Jeannine Arsenault, A~ent representing the property owners, came forward and Mayor Pro Tem Seymour explained the recommendations and the facts that in conforming to provisions of the RM-1200 Zone, the property would not accommodate 30 units as originally proposed. Ms. Arsenault advised that they did wish the extension of time for the zoning. Councilwoman Kaywood moved that an extension of time be granted to Reclassification No. 68-69-51 retroactive to September 19, 1969, and to expire January 7, 1976, subject to the conditions recommended by the Development Services Department and the City Engineer and that an extension of time to Variance No. 2030 be denied. Councilman Sneegas seconded the motion. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED. PRIVATE PATROL PERMIT APPLICATION: Private Patrol Permit application to conduct a security and private patrol service in the City of Anaheim, by Patrick M. T. Ritter and Francis D. Ritter, Backtrack Unlimited, Company, was submitted. This item was continued from the meeting of July 15, 1975, at the request of the applicants. Both applicants came forward and Mr. Francis D. Ritter reported that State License No. 66-40 has been granted and they are requesting permission to pro- vide their services in the City of Anaheim where they reside. He read in full a memorandum dated July 22, 1975, written to the City Attorney from Lt. Dale A. Wilcox of the Anaheim Police Department regarding past incidents when the applicants were employed as security personnel by certain grocery markets in the City. He was of the opinion that two statements were false and others were misleading, and he clarified the dates mentioned, noting that one incident referred to as a crime in July or August of 1973 actually took place in August of 1974, the year they commenced working for the local markets. He described the various circumstances surrounding the incidents and the disposition there- of. Regarding the issue of whether or not they are required to wear uniforms, Mr. Patrick Ritter referred to Anaheim Municipal Code Section 4.60.100, "Style of Uniform" which requires that if any uniforms are worn by patrol service guards or watchmen, they must be of such style as, in the opinion of the Chief of Police, will be clearly distinguishable from the Anaheim Police Department uniforms. Councilman Sneegas stated that based on his past experience in the Police Department, he had found that where there is friction between private security people and the Police Department, it can be an explosive situation. Before he was prepared to take any action on the permit application, he felt it should be determined what was the true nature of the conflict. Councilman Seymour moved that Council consideration of the Private Patrol Application be continued one week, August 5, 1975, for further investigation. Councilman Sneegas seconded the motion. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED. RESOLUTION NO. 75R-395: Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 75R-395 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Book.

ANAHEIM BOULEVARD - HASTER STREET OVERCROSSING - SANTA ANA FREEWAY: Public Works Director Thornton E. Piersail' addressed the City Council advising of a letter received from the State Department of Transportation dated July 3, 1975, advising that a serious cash flow problem in the Department has brought about a one-year moratorium on right-of-way acquisition processes on essentially all projects except those which qualify for certain types of Federal Aid funds, the Anaheim-Haster Project included. Mr. Plersall noted the concern of his depart- ment since the overcrossing is funded through an Arterial Highway Financin$ Prosram with the County of Orange, and the City has been requested to put up right-of-way funds for acquisition for the City's responsibility, amd he was of the opinion this delay would be a detriment to the City redevelopment program. Mr. Piersall recommended that the City Council authorize a letter to the Highway Commission and the Governor, calling attention to the fact that the City of Anaheim is in a position to move ahead on the project, the project has been funded, and there is a serious problem with redevelopment for access into the area. Further, he recommended that the Chamber of Commerce be requested to support the position of the City Council on the issue. Councilman Sneegas returned to the Council Chamber. (3:52 P.M.) Mr. Joseph D. Shane, 9862 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, owner of property on Freedman Way, was recognized and stated that this delay in the construction of the overcrossing was a severe disappointment to himself and other property owners. He urged the City Council to do whatever is possible to bring about the completion of the project. Mr. Piersall further reported that he plans to attend a meeting which has been scheduled in Sacramento August 8, 1975, 10:00 a.m., at which time the Director of the State Department of Transportation will conduct a discussion on this issue. Councilwoman Kaywood reported on her attendance at the Transportation and Utilities Committee of the Southern California Association of Governments meeting last week when the revenue decrease was reported, and she noted that there was no discrimination involved, only a lack of funds. Councilman Seymour moved that a letter be directed to the Chairman of the State Highway Commission expressing the concern of the City Council and stressing the fact that funds have been budgeted; further that a similar letter in support of the position be solicited from the Chamber of Commerce. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED.

REQUEST - SUPPORT OF AHE~~S TO AB 1246m CITY OF LONG BFA_CH: Communication was received from Dr. Thomas J. Clark, Mayor, City of Long Beach, requesting 75-o90 City Hall; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 29; 1975! 1;30 P.M. support of amendments to AB 1246 which would assign all powers and duties for the County Commissions proposed by the bill to the Southern California Associa- tion of Governments. Councilwoman Kaywood moved that the City Council go on record in support of the proposed amendments as requested. In answer to Councilman Seymour's request for clarification, Assistant Development Services Director - Planning, Don McDaniel reported that the Regional Transportation Commission which would be established if the bill is adopted would not necessarily replace the Orange County Transit District, but the membership would parallel that of the District and possibly duplica~e it. He recommended that the City Council take no position on this issue, inasmuch as it could jeopardize the City's working relationship wi~h the O.C.T.D. and with SCAG. Councilwoman Kaywood withdrew her motion. No action was taken by the City Council. 1974-75 WEED ABATEMENT ASSESSEMENTS - PROPERTY OWNER OBJECTIONS: On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Seymour, public hearing was scheduled August 5, 1975, 2:30 F.M., to hear objections by property owners pertaining to weed abatement assessments for the Fiscal Year 1974-75.

MOTION CARRIED. 75-695 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Jul2 29, 1975~ 1:30 P.M. CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION: Councilwoman Kaywood referred to communication dated July 28, 1975, from Jack E. Brown, Chairman of the Anaheim Cultural Arts Co~mission (copies furnished each Council Member), requesting that, in order to provide a more effective, informed and concerned liaison between the various arts groups in the community, and the City Council and City Agencies and Depart- ments, communications pertaining to the arts be referred to the Cultural Arts Commission for consideration prior to any City Council, City Department or City A~ency action. The City Council concurred that it would be appropriate that communication affecting the arts be referred to the Cultural Arts Commission for their recom- mendation. Mayor Pro Tem Seymour indicated it would also be appropriate for the Commission, as a body to determine what might 'be done to unify the various arts groups. Councilwoman Kaywood advised she received positive indications that the Commission will actively pursue a unification plan. ASSEMBLY BILL 2353 - CALIFORNIA LITTER ABATEMENT: Councilwoman Kaywood called attention to communication from Assemblyman Edwin L. Z~berg requesting comments and support relative to AB 2353 for litter control, and pointed out that 300,000 annual litter-caused injuries occurred in the State of California in addition to the obvious detrimental appearance of litter. The bill would pro- vide an annual appropriation of approximately $160,000 for litter abatement programs which would include roadside and recreation area pick up, litter receptacle installation and maintenance, and litter law enforcement, as well as a more intensive education policy for the entire area. She suggested that the City Council consider support of AB 2353. Mayor Pro Tem Seymour requested that copies of the bill and information be supplied to each Council Member for possible action at a later date. ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE CARTS: Councilman Seymour reported that he had received complaints that golf carts at the Municipal Golf Course were inoperable or performing poorly, apparently due to vandalism. The Golf Course Advisory Commission recommended that a fence be constructed around the cart storage shed, and if this area can be secured, new carts will be provided by the concessionaire. Golf Pro Nicolas Cassa has received a bid for the proposed fence in the amount of $2,213.70, which he is willing to pay, provided that he be credited on a monthly basis from the 12% monthly gross that he pays from the pro shop to the City, plans for the fence to be approved by the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department and the Police Department prior to installa- tion. Acting Assistant City Manager William Griffith stated it was his under- standing that the proposed fence and golf cart operation were the responsi- bilities of the concessionaire, and not that of the City. Councilman Sneegas suggested reviewing the contract between the conces- sionaire and the City prior to taking action on the request. Administrative Assistant John Harding stated that under the contract the concessionaire has the obligation to provide the golf cart service to the players; that the main problem seems to be neglect on the part of some of the concessionaire's employees, rather than vandalism. It would take a very lengthy period of time for the City to realize a return on the cost of the pro- posed fence due to the small percentage received each month. At conclusion of the discussion, further consideration of the matter was deferred for additional investigation. ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Pebley moved to adjourn. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED. AdJourned: 4: 15 P.M. ALONA M. HOUGAED, CITY CLERK Dmputy
