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

REPORT - RESULTS OF THE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AUDIT - FIRE DEPARTMENT, ARTtiUR
YOUNG & COMPANY: Mr. Roger Hewitt of Arthur Young & Company presented copies of
the report to Council Members on the results of the management practices audit
conducted in the Fire Department. (Copy of said report on file in the office
of the City Clerk.)
Mr. Hewitt briefly explained the objectives of the study and summarized
the scope of the review which was conducted.
Mr. Hewitt reported that the results of the review showed the Anaheim Fire
Department to be operating in an efficient and effective manner in delivering
fire protection to the community. They are extremely well managed by highly
competent leadership, which has contributed a great deal towards increasing the
fire protection services to the community without unnecessarily increasing
costs. There is a significant increase in the level of services provided
during what might be termed non-utilization time with fire prevention and
training programs implemented by Chief Riley.
Mr. Hewitt indicated that they believe the budget increases experienced in
the Fire Department are reasonable and reflect actual needs. He noted that the
cost for fire service in Anaheim is presently comparable to that in other
cities. The two major factors involved in increased costs are the geographical
expansion of the City and work hour reductions resulting from labor negotia-
tions and application of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
With respect to their review of the Fire Department for potential savings,
Mr. Hewitt explained that they believe any reduction in costs or savings in
this department would have to be done with a conscientious decision on
reduction of the service level to the citizens. Manpower staffing levels were
reviewed and Mr. Hewitt related that the present department standard is a four-
man company but this will be possible only approximately 30% of the time in the
coming year. Be remarked that while there may be some potential savings in
that the current response capability level is not necessarily for the majority
of fires, no recommendation is made because a reduction would decrease the
effectiveness of responsibility to major and life hazard fires, and constitute
a reduction in the fire/rescue service level.
An inventory is presently being conducted of the 24-hour work day in the
department, and if it is proven feasible, there are plans to expand the Fire
Inspection Program to private residences.
Mr. Hewitt stated that because they found the department to be operating
in an effective manner, the recommendations offered are few and many of these
75-754
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 1~ 1975~ 1:.30 P.M.
are advisory observations of minor or potential problems. The one recommen-
dation of substantial importance is that the department develop an apparatus
replacement plan.
At the present time there are five fire units which are seventeen or more
years old and two which are fourteen years old. The standard life expectancy
for fire apparatus is for twenty years, fifteen years first line service and 5
years reserve. Therefore, there is a definite need for ~he City of Anaheim and
its fire service to develop an equipment replacement plan, preferably in five-
year blocks, and the anticipated expenditures identifie~ and budgeted.
The second recommendation of importance is that the department increase
the training section by one man, preferably of the rank of Captain, inasmuch as
they believe the present one-man training operation is not sufficient for an
organization of this size.
Mr. Hewitt stated t~at the remaining recommendations are more in the
nature of organizational observation than they are in identification of
deficiencies. He noted that thc department is currently operating on a one
battalion system, which they do not feel is sufficient for a fire department of
this size. However, they hesitate to make a recommendation that the department
proceed to two battalions at this time because the present one battalion
organization, although larger than usually encountered, is operating
effectively. They would suggest this be considered in t~e near future.
Mr. Hewitt concluded that the remainder of the Arthur Young & Company
recommendations are confined to administrative communications and changes in
the reporting system to provide for more meaninzful management information data
and would be considered minor.
Chief Riley commented that 1~ does support the Arthur Young & Company
recommendations. He pointed out that several of these are items which the
department had wanted to pursue in the past, and given a different financial
climate, most likely would have accomplished these. The Chief indicated he was
ready to implement the Arthur Young & Company recommendations as soon as the
Council can make it feasible for the department to do so.
Councilman Seymour congratulated Chief Riley for the outstanding
leadership he has demonstrated in his department. He advised that he would
expect, in accordance with the recommendations presented by Aruthur Young &
Company, that recommendations for replacement of fire equipment wiii be
presented at 1976-77 Budget deliberations and stated that he would be ready to
support taese requests. Councilman Seymour advised that he would rely on the
CRief's judgment as to when a second training officer anda two- battalion
system are needed.
Councilwoman Kaywood concurred with Councilman Seymour's comments and
added her thanks to Chief Riley for exemplary leadership.
Councilman Seymour moved to accept the Arthur Young & Company report on
results of the management review of the Fire Department. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded the motion. MOTION CAFdlIED.
REPORT - RESULTS OF THE ~NAG~[ENT PRACTICES AUDIT - DISASTER SERVICES;. ARTHUR
YOUNG & COMPANY: Mr. Hewitt submitted copies of the final report of the Arthur
Young & Company review of Disaster Services to Council Members (copy on file in
the of£ice o£ the City Clerk) and explained that the purpose o£ the study was
to determine whether or not the division was providing disaster planning
services to the City in an effective manner. The scope of the review included
the present status of planning; current and past projects, as well as
anticipated future projects.
Mr. Hewitt reported that their findings indicated a moderate level of
disaster planning and training being provided. This reduction in the planning
level is partially attributed to problems within the office associated with
illness of the director and moving. A great deal is also attributed to the
City's actual commitment to the disaster planning effort.
Mr. Hewitt explained that they do feel, at the conclusion of the review,
that the program is worthy of continuation but at a reduced level of staffing.
75-755
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 19~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
They suggested deletion of the assistant to the Disaster Services Coordinator
and Disaster Services Technician positions. The program merits continuation
since it provides the City with eligibility for the surplus property program
and also provides some level of training in Disaster Services. The department
also provides the City Manager with additional staff for unusual occurrence
activities, which are related to disaster services planning, at a reduced cost
because of the 50% reimbursement from the Federal Government. Mr. Hewitt
advised that the City Manager agrees with these recommendations and they have
already been implemented, the two positions having been deleted from the
program.
Mr. Paul Hayes indicated agreement with the report and advised that they
have either already carried out, or are in the process of implementing, the
recommendations made by Arthur Young & Company.
Councilman Seymour moved to accept the Arthur Young & Company report on
the results of the management practices audit of the Disaster Services Office.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 73-74-36 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1130
(READVERTISED): Initiated by the City Flanning Commission, proposing deletion of
condition requiring perpetual maintenance agreement in connection with
Reclassification No. 73-74-36 and condition requiring a parkway maintenance
assessment district in connection with Conditional Use Permit No. 1130, on
property located northwesterly of the corner of La Palma Avenue and Euclid
Street.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-159,
recommended to the City Council that Resolution No. 74R-235 adopted in
connection with Reclassification No. 73-74-36 be amended to delete Condition
No. 11 pertaining to a perpetual maintenance agreement.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-160 deleted
Condition No. 6 of their Resolution No. PC69-173 adopted in connection with
Conditional Use Permit No. 1130, pertaining to establishment of a parkway
maintenance assessment district.
Miss Santahlati reported that the subject property includes both the
proposed Anaheim Shores Planned Commlunity development (Reclassification No.
73-74-36) and the Martin Luther Hospital expansion program (Conditional Use
Permit No. 1130).
~{iss Santahlati explained that the conditions were imposed at the time the
zoning petitions were granted. In both instances, the City has, since the time
of approval of these petitions, determined that Romneya Drive would be a
secondary arterial highway. In view of the fact that it has been the City's
policy to maintain such streets, including landscaping, the Director of Public
Works, is, therefore, recommending removal of these conditions.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council relative to the
proposed deletion of the conditions.
Mr. Ben Bay, 2148 West Grayson Avenue, Anaheim, questioned, if the City
had changed the designation of Romneya Drive to a secondary arterial highway,
why a new traffic study was not conducted by the City and why Environmental
Impact Report No. 113, submitted by Matreyek Homes, was not amended to reflect
this. He stated that if there has been a change in traffic projections
significant enough to release the developers from the perpetual maintenance
agreement, he would think that the traffic projections would have changed
considerably as compared to those described in the original Environmental
Impact Report. He inquired whether there had been a new study, and if so, why
isn't this reflected in an amendment to Environmental Impact Report No. 113.
Mr. Thompson replied that he would prefer to respond to Mr. Bay following
review of the written record and Environmental Impact Report.
Mr. Bay requested that any additional traffic study undertaken at this
time also include review of the impact projected for Coronet and Falmouth
Avenues.

City hall; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MIi~UTES - August 19~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Pebiey, the City
Council continued the public hearing on deletion of conditions relating to
perpetual maintenance agreement and parkway maintenance assessment district in
connection with Reclassification No. 73-74-36 and Conditional Use Permit No.
1130 to September 2, 1975, pending preparation of written response to Mr. Bay's
inquiries. MOTION CARRIED.
ORANGE COUNTY MANPOWER CO~.~ISSION - AGREEMEnt: (Expenditure of CETA funds) Mr.
William Hepburn reported on the three contracts proposed with the Orange County
Manpower Commission which would authorize the expenditure of CETA funds as
follows:
1. Contract No. H81320 - Title I: A multipurpose contract in the amount
of $126,000 for the period of July 1, 1975 through June 30, 1976 which provides
$25,000 in Manpower Planner funding and $101,000 to support a Manpower Services
Center.
2. Contract No. H82301 - Title II: A contract which provides for a Public
Service Employment Program in the amount of $374,465 for the period July 1,
1975 through June 30, 1976 to maintain 45 positions.
3. Contract No. H~6301 - Title VI: A contract to support the Work
Experience Program in the amount of $2,431,314 for the period from January 10,
1975 through June 30, 1976 to maintain 96 positions from January 1975 to
June 30, 1975 and 206 positions from July 1, 1975 through June 30, 1976.
Mr. Hepburn advised that the procedure has changed this year so that in
lieu of individual contracts for each program, one agreement will be entered
into with the Orange County Manpower Commission, which will be amended as
necessary to reflect increases in dollar amounts or to show additional
programs.
Councilwoman Kaywood inquired whether the term "Clinical Training Project"
as shown on page 6 of the CETA VI Contract was correct and this was
subsequently changed to read "Clerical Training Project".
Councilman Seymour questioned the statement shown on the contract in
reference to the 10% limitation on administrative costs and noted that while
the Title II Budget is within this framework, the Title VI administrative
budget would appear to exceed that percentage.
Mr. Hepburn explained that these agreements are printed on a form provided
by the Manpower Commission which has this statement printed on it. Statutory
limitation for Title VI - Contract Administration - is 20% and the figure
proposed in the budget would amount to approximately 17% of the cost.
Councilman Seymour suggested that if this statement relative to a 10%
administrative ceiling is incorrect, that it be removed from the Title VI
contract forms so as to avoid any confusion when they are submitted.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-439: Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 75R-439 for
adoption.

REqUE~? FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION - PERSONNEL MATTER: At the request of the
Personnel Director, the City Council, by general consent, determined they would
meet in executive session on Wednesday, August 27, 1975 at 3:00 p.m.
ACQUISITION OF PARK PROPERTY ADJACENT TO TRACT NO. 7787: Mr. Alan Watts
reported on negotiations conducted at the direction of the City Council for
acquisition of approximately 11 acres of property for park purposes, subject
property being located on the north side of Santa Ana Canyon Road, east of
Imperial Highway and adjacent to Tract No. 7787. (The acquisition of %his
property was directly involved with an additional access point provided onto
Santa Aha Canyon Road from Tract No. 7787 and its acquisition and street
alignments were discussed in connection therewith, see Council Minutes of
January 14~ 1975, pages 75-36 through 75-35,)
Mr. Watts advised that the purchase of this property would involve the
payment of approximately $215,000 to each of two property owners for parcels
which are both slightly in excess of five and one-half acres each. The
property would be acquired through an agreement which would utilize the park in
lieu fees as a special fund committed to this acquisition for a period of six
years at an interest rate of 6~.
Mr. Watts reported that both owners had been operating poultry ranches and
one has terminated his business. The otRer property owner, on tile easterly
parcel which is adjacent to a residential tract, wishes to continue to conduct
that operation to the end of the current year and then phase it out. Therefore
a lease agreement is proposed with this property owner (Clark) permitting such
use of the property.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that there have been complaints of fly
infestation in connection with the poultry ranch and inquired whether there
would be any way to require that this be rectified.
Mr. Watts advised that one of the attorneys in his office has been working
on the fly control problem with the Orange County Mosquito Abatement Oistrict.
Further, he noted that the lease agreement proposed provides the City with the
right to enter the property for inspection.
Councilman Seymour noted the lease agreement indicates the rental of $100
per month, and stated that although he assumed someone determined this to be a
reasonable rental, it would appear to him to be extremely iow for five acres.
Councilman Seymour questioned what geographic boundaries are delineated from
Which the in lieu fees will be committed to this promissory note, and Mr. Watts
replied that no geographical limitations were set up insofar as the agreement
was concerned; that all in lieu fees would be placed in the fund and applied to
reduce this note. He added that if in lieu fees to be utilized for this
purpose were limited as to the area it came from, it is possible there would be
insufficient security in the fund to persuade the property owners to enter into
the agreement.
Councilman Seymour stated that the special fund from a specific geographic
location for park needs was set forth in an Arthui Young & Company
recommendation, and this was the first opportunity to utilize this concept. He
indicated that although he would have preferred that the Arthur Young & Company
recommendation be adhered to with respect to the establistunent of a separate
park in lieu fund account, in the interest of time and expediency, he would
offer the resolution.

TRACT NO. 8775 - STORM DRAIN FACILITIES: The City Engineer presented a
recommended agreement to be entered into by Matreyek Homes, Inc., Orange County
Flood Control District and the City to provide for the installation of storm
drain facilities from Tract No. 8775 to the Houston Storm Channel.
Councilman Seymour questioned whether this agreement for improvement of an
underground drainage system is intended to facilitate drainage for the entire
Matreyek Homes, Inc. project or for just a portion of it.
Mr. Maddox responded that this particular agreement provides for recon-
struction of the Orange County Flood Control District storm channel and does
not involve on-site drainage. On-site drainage facilities planned for this
project will include a retention basin and an underground system which would
flow into the reconstructed storm channel. The capacity of the basin is based
on the total drainage requirement of the Matreyek Homes, Inc. project, as
well as the Martin Luther Hospital, and drainage from both would flow into the
Houston Storm Channel.
In response to Councilman Seymour~s concern, Mr. Maddox assured Council
members that approval of this particular Resolution would not be considered as
satisfying the drainage requirement of the developer as set forth in the
approval of the tentative tract map.
Mr. Ben Bay, 2148 West Grayson Avenue, Anaheim was recognized by the
Mayor. He advised that he is pleased to hear that improvements will be made to
the Houston Storm Channel to accommodate the drainage from the Matreyek Homes
project. He questioned the fact that the current drainage plan presented by
this developer to the City Engineering Department shows only one-half to two-
thirds of the drainage area directed toward an underground pipe system and that
as the plan stands now, all of the property to the west of the proposed lake
will drain across the surface and through the single-family residential
development immediately to the west, ultimately draining to tile Houston Storm
Channel under the Riverside Freeway at Brookhurst Street. Be stressed that
this is his prime concern and the reason that he is questioning the planning
which will occur between the developer and Orange County Flood Control
District. If the developer intends to enlarge and improve Houston Storm
75-760
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 19.; 1975; 1:30 P.M.
Channel to sufficient capability to accommodate all the drainage from this
project, then Mr. Bay indicated he is in 100% agreement, however, if they are
going to plan this channel improvement with the storm facilities currently
described in their drainage plan, Mr. Bay contended this would not accommodate
a two-year storm level and would require that run-off water drain through the
residential tract to the immediate west which already has a drainage problem.
Mr. Maddox stated that to his knowledge no drainage plan has been sub-
mitred by the developer and from his conversation with Mr. Jim Chrlste~sen of
Matreyek Homes, Inc., his understanding is that all of the drainage from the
development will ultimately go into the Houston Storm Channel.
Mr. Bay advised that a tentative drainage plan has been on file with the
City for one and one-half years, which has not yet been approved. On this
tentative plan no underground drainage system is show~ on tile western side of
the project which, in his opinion, would result in approximately One-third of
the drainage water running through the western residential tract to Brookhurst
Street.
?ir. Maddox responded that Matreyek Homes, Inc. has not submitted a final
plan for drainage inasmuch as they are not yet sure how the project would
proceed because of some changes in the total concept. He added that it would
be unusual to submit a drainage plan until the final development plan is
determined.
During Council discussion, Council Members Thom and Seymour both felt it
would be beneficial if Mr. Bay would monitor the drainage plans as they
proceed, and that further discussion would not be productive until such final
plans are submitted and there is something specific to review.
Mr. Maddox advised that the drainage plans are documents of public record
and that he would advise Mr. Bay when these were received in order to assist
him in monitoring their progress.

depreciation tables were used for this equipment and each element was
calculated at its own rate.
Councilman Seymour inquired whether Mr. Edwards, in his professional
opinion, felt this was a realistic rate of depreciation for these items and
that they are being offered at a fair market value, to which Mr. Edwards
replied affirmatively.

Z'BERG LITTERABATEMENTLEGISLATION (AB 2353~:. Mr. Watts presented a brief
analysis of AB 2353, the Z'berg Litter Abatement Bill, as was requested by the
City Council at the meeting of August 12, 1975. He recalled that the last time
the Council discussed this subject, their principal question was whether or not
it would be possible to support the anti-littering provisions of the bill
without supporting the revenue generating portions whereby a 1.5 percent tax
would be levied on manufacturers and importers on certain items.
Mr. Watts advised that their conclusion, following review of the proposed
legislation, was the State would have to fund by some means, either taxes or
other State revenue sources, the anti-littering provisions proposed in AB 2353.
Mayor Thom related that while he supports the philosophical intent of the
legislation, he could not support the taxing authority proposed.
Councilwoman Kaywood voiced the opinion that government should take some
steps to eliminate the litter problem. She related that currently a phenomenal
amount of money is spent on litter clean up and she felt this legislation would
more fairly tax the sources of litter and provide for its clean up. She also
was of the opinion that the passage of this legislation would encourage the
development and use of anti-litter containers.

1975, in accordance with Chapter 7.32 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. MOTION
CARRIED.
VARI~CE NO. 2693 - REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF CODE SECTIONS; Request of
Hervyn Phelan, Anaheim Plaza Building Ltd., for waiver of Sections 4.08.020 and
4.08.070 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to a "changing copy" electric
sign to be located at 505 North Euclid Street (granted under Variance No. 2693
for on-site advertising) was submitted for Council consideration, together with
a report from Development Services Department.
Hr. Thompson pointed out that this request involved a policy decision by
the City Council. He advised that signs such as this which can be viewed from
a highway, roadway or freeway would fall into the classification of billboards
and as such would not be permitted. To permit a sign of this nature, the
Council would have to amend certain sections of the Code. He noted that the
State does control billboards within 600 feet of the freeway.
Councilwoman Kaywood inquired whether this proposed sign would be a
distraction to motorists on the freeway, and Mr. ~ddox replied that a
communication has been addressed to CalTrans advising them o'f this proposal and
that, while no written reply has been received as yet, he has been informed
verbally they have no comment.
75-764
City ~iall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 19, 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. iJalter Brooks, 3307 Benton Way, Santa Ana, QRS Electrical Advertising,
representing the applicant, emphasized that t~e State does not consider the
type of message unit which they propose to install, a billboard, tie related
that although they were granted the variance for on-site advertising purposes,
the economics of installation of this si~{n would not make it feasible to use it
strictly for on-site advertising. He noted that the merchants in Anaheim Plaza
are interested in utilizing the si~n. fir. Brooks su~aarizcd that their
problems arise from the fact that the State does not consider this type of sign
a billboard, whereas under the Anahei~a b~nicipal Code, it would be so
construed, and therefore he is seeking relief.
Councilwoman tlaywood left the Council Chamber. (4:05 p.m.)
In response to Councilr~mn Pebley, Mr. Brooks elaborated on the type of
sign proposed, which would be an electronically controlled message center which
uses indirectly lighted luminescent discs, ~ich can be programmed to either
run a message or flash it. He advised that these units are very expensive and
generally used only in metropolitan areas, lie felt it would be an enhancement
to the community and advised that they do plan to relay public service messages
as well.
Councilwoman Kaywood returned to the Council Charaber. (4:10 p.m.)
Plans from the variance file and pictures of the proposed sign were
reviewed at Council table.
Councilman Seymour noted that six to nine months ago when he was first
asked his opinion of the City Planning Conunission's potential reaction to this
sign proposal, he was assured that it was intended for on-site advertising
only. iie indicated concern that now, subsequent to City Planning Commission
approval of the variance for on-site advertising only, the applicant is
requesting permission to advertise other products and businesses in the
community, ile asked if the City Planning Con,mission was aware of the
applicant's intent when the variance was considered by them.
i~. Thompson stated that the Planning Conm~ission was agreeable to tenants
of t~e Anaheim Plaza Building using the sign, but less than enthusiastic about
its use for off-site advertising.
b[r. Brooks contended that almost no discussion of off-site advertising was
held at the Planning Commission level because of the wording in the Anaheim
i~nicipal Code which places this sign in the billboard category. He was
informed that the Planning Commission could not amend the Code or grant the
requested waiver and, therefore, has submitted his request to the City Council.
Councilman Pebley stated that he favored the idea of the message center
and cor~ented that it would appear imperative that the owner display off-site
advertising because of the cost.
Councilnmn Seymour stated that he is not opposed to the applicant deriving
profits from the message center and further stated that he would be agreeable
to helping the Anaheim Plaza merchants and the Anaheim Plaza Buildin$, however~
he felt that if the Council approved the message unit as it is now defined,
contrary to the way it was approved by the Planning Commission, it would
establish a precedent for future such requests which might not be actual
~:~essage centers but could be interpreted as flashing or lighted signs, etc.
~lr. Brooks contended that there would not be a proliferation of requests
for this type of sign since the minimum cost for same would be $60,000, and
there are only two locations in Orange County which would be suitable for this
type of sion.
~lr. Watts explained the two methods which Council could employ to permit
the applicant to utilize the sign for off-site advertising, define this type of
sign as not being included in the description within Title 4 as a billboard or
pemnit off-site items to be advertised upon these types of structures.
Councilwoman llaywood left the Council Chamber. (4:25 p.m.)

.City l{all~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL ~-{Ii{UTES - August 19; 1975; 1;37 P.II.
Councilman Pebley reiterated that he thought tile idea has merit, tiler it
would be a real asset to the Anaheim Plaza Shopping Center and to any other
merchant in Anaheim who would use it.
Councilman Seymour observed that his and Councilman Pebley'$ philosophy on
st.~nxn~ differ, that although he (Councilman Seymour) would like to assist the
shopping center merchants, he felt the Council should adhere to the sign
ordinance.
Councilman Thom moved that the request for waiver of Sections 4.08.020 and
4.0'-3.070 of the Anaheim .~!unicipal Code in connection with a "changing copy"
sign to be located at 505 ~orth Euclid Street be denied. Councilman Seymo~r
seconded the motion. To this notion Council :iembers Pebley and Sneegas voted
"no". Councilwoman Kaywood absent.
The ~{ayor declared that the motion failed to carry.
PZlOPOSAL TO REPLACE PA~[ Lf6~D - A~Ai]'2I]-i HILLS~ I!!C.: Proposal submitted by
Anaheim Hills for replacement of ten acres of park land relinquished by the
City for school and library purposes at the northeast corner of Imperial
Highway and Nohl F~nch Road, was presented together with communication and
exhibit "A" from Jack ~i. Sickler, President, Anaheim Hills, Inc. dated
August 15, 1975, which indicated that an additional four-acre park site located
on the south side of Nohl Ranch Road, directly across from the Oak Knoll
Townhomes would also be dedicated for park purposes. This brings the total
amount of acreage proposed for substitution to 15.5 acres.
b~. John Millick, Vice President, Anaheim Hills, Inc. related that they
have been working with City staff to provide an acceptable substitution for the
ten acres to be used for school and library purposes. Although one singular
ten acre parcel could not be located, they have identified property in three
different locations which they feel would be acceptable.
Councilwoman Kaywood returned to the Council Chamber (4:35 p.m.)
Mr. :[illick described the proposed substitute park sites as follows:
a. Two parcels located north of Canyon Rim Road and southof Mohler
Drive, consisting of 6.5 acres. This park land is adjacent to the open
space ~lich was established by agreement with the County of Orange. These
parcels are developable and would lend themselves to use as a small neighbor-
hood park with some improvement. Such a neighborhood parl~ would serve the
Westfield Development, the Broad,moor Homes and any future homes on Canyon
Rim ~oad.
b. A 4.99 acre parcel located south of the base of the Walnut Canyon
Dam, which is completely surrounded by the existing Oak Canyon Nature Park.
It is one of the key vista spots in the canyon and would provide an added
amenity to the park. The parcel also contains a stand of over 100 natural oak
trees in its canyon portion.
c. A. 4.0 acre parcel located south of ~ohl Ranch Road, directly across
from the Oak i~oll Townhomes. The majority of this property is level and, in
fact, Anaheim Hills, Inc. has been operating this as a private public park, i.e.,
providing picnic tables and trash storage and collection. This parcel also has
a stand of oak trees and is well-used currently.
ik. John ~lardzno advised Council that he had reviewed these proposed
substitute park sites, as well as the Park, Recreation and the Arts Department
staff, and it has been detemnined that they would fit into the present park
program.
i{r. Owen Drown, 6694 Pasco del Norte, Anaheim, was recognized by the ~yor
and advised that his home backs up to one of these proposed substitute park
sites, lie stated that he would very much like to see such site utilized for a
park, however, he wished to bring to Council's attention one potential problem.
lie explained that one possible accessway into this park would be through an
easement located between his home and that of his immediate neighbor. He
stated that the residents living at the end of the cul-de-sac would not be in
favor of the City's use of the easement for park access since they feel it
would create a parking proble~.t and the foot traffic between the homes would not
be acceptable.
75-766
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 19~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Harding stated that this easment has already been the subject of
discussion between the City and Broadmoor Homes. It appears, from preliminary
investigation, that the City can abandon that easement inammuch as there is
other access to the proposed park.
>Ir. Watts counseled that the original parcel at the northeast corner of
Imperial Itighway and Nohl Ranch Road, for which these three parcels are
proposed in substitution thereof, was acquired through an agreement between the
City and Anaheim Hills, and if the City Council is agreeable to accepting the
substitutions, this could be accomplished n~st expeditiously by amending the
original agreement and modifying the exhibit contained therein to reflect the
park land to be dedicated and to show conveyance of these particular parcels.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the
City Council directed the City Attorney's Office to prepare an amendment to the
agreement with Anaheim Hills, Inc./Texaco Ventures, Inc., authorized pursuant
to Resolution No. 72R-455, to show acceptance by the City of the substitute
parcels of land amounting to 15.5 acres as shown on Exhibit "A". MOTIOi'~
C~X~.~I~D.
YGAD CLUB - WAIVER OF PARADE FEE: Mr. Steve Tsubota of the Cerritos Chapter,
YGAD Club, was recognized by the Mayor and related to Council the problems he
has had in attempting to obtain proper permits for the YGAD Club to push a bath
tub a total of twelve miles, only a portion of which would be within the City
of Anaheim. He advised that they requested waiver of the $25.00 fee and a
sixty-day application period, which was denied by the City Council at the
meeting of August 20, 1975. He stated that funds in their club treasury are
low, and this event is being conducted to raise charitable funds which will be
split evenly, 50% going to the YGAD Club and 50% to the Lung Association.
In response to Council questions ~r. Tsubota indicated that they have
sub~itted a copy of the modified route, which will not go to Disneyland Park
but to the Disneyland Hotel parking lot and that they are willing to stop at
the edge of the parking lot or at a nearby service station if it is necessary.
~.~. Richard Loya, Health Education teacher at Huntington Park High School
stated that he is the YGAD Club's advisor, and that he has offered to pay tl~e
~25.00 pernit fee.
It was stressed that the problem is iz,~mediate, inasmuch as the event is
scheduled to take place tomorrow and they are connnitted to this date because of
arrangements nmde with the three other cities involved and press coverage.
Councilman Pebley suggested that part of the problem encountered is due to
the fact that the students had not contacted the Police Department for this
permit as required, since the Chief of Police is the City Official who issues
these.
~..tr. l~'atts, in reviewing the Ordinance indicated that it clearly spells out
the procedure to obtain a parade per,nit, however, he could find no reference to
the sixty-day application period, from which the YGPu) Group is requesting a
wa iv e r.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Sneegas moved that the
$25.00 parade permit fee be waived in connection with the YGAD Club Bath Tub
Push-A-Thon to be conducted August 20, 1975, and that the Club make necessary
arrangements with the Police Department to ensure the safety of all concerned.
Councilman Seymour seconded the motion. MOTIOII CARRIED.
At the suggestion of Council and the City Attorney, the YGf~ Club's repre-
sentatives were dispatched to Lt. A1 Rogers of the Anaheim Police Department
Traffic Bureau since time was of the essence.
Councilman Sneegas commented that he had originally felt the amended
ordinance relating to parades and parade permits to be too far reaching and is
still opposed to it because of the types of problems encountered by the YG~LD
Club.

CO?[PLAINT ~ND PETITION REGARDING DUi.~IiIG ACTIVITIES: (South of Nohl Ranch Road,
east of Spyglass Way) Councilman Seymour introduced ~Ir. Steve Severy, 543~
Spyglass Way, Anaheim, and advised ~'~. Severy has had a problem relating to
du~]ping of rubbish and lack of weed abatement on property adjacent to his home
which is owned by the Grant Corporation of California.
Councilman Seymour described the attempts made by ~k. Severy and himself
ti]rough telephone contact with the City of Anaheim, Anaheim Hills Inc., and the
Grant Corporation, to correct the situation, all of which were futile. There-
fore, he suggested that ~. Severy attend a Council meeting and request the aid
of ti~e City Council.
:Ir. Severy presented a petition signed by homeox~mers in the immediate
vicinity of the problem area, requesting that the City of Anaheim prevail upon
the Grant Corporation of California to refrain from using the subject area for
du~xping and to discourage others from using that land for dumpinS purposes by
blochin~ the access road and posting the area. The homeo~,mers further
requested that existing refuse and equipment be reraoved and chat the slope
banks bordering the area be nmintained to the same degree as is required of the
l~o~eo~.~ers for slopes belonging to them.
fir. Severy presented several photourap}~s of the offensive area which were
reviewed by Council Members. lle pointed out that there are abandoned con-
struction vehicles, rubbish and weeds. Mr. Severy indicated that since the
Grant Corporation has provided a paved access road into the subject area and
has utilized this property for dumpin~ of their own refuse, o~her homeowners
i~ave also used the property for dumping. The area now constitutes an eyesore,
as well as a fire hazard.
Councilman Seymour apologized to fir. Severy for ghe inconvenience of
zno to attend the City Council meeting to rectify a situation which should
rightly have been handled pursuant to one of his many telephone calls several
months ago. He stated that he is prepared to take whatever legal action is
necessary to correct the situation.
The City Attorney advised that the problem is two-fold, the weeds being in
violation of the City's weed abatement regulations and the dumping constituting
a public nuisance.
Councilman Seymour thereupon ~mved that the City Attorney be directed to
take legal action against the owner of property located south of Nohl Ranch
Road, east of Spyglass Way to enforce weed abatement regulations, to dis-
