Golf Course Advisory Commission.
DRAFT - RESULTS OF THE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AUDIT - GOLF COURSES - ARTHUR YOUNG & CO:
Mr. Cummins reviewed the objectives of the study and the Arthur Young &_Company
major findings contained therein. He prefaced his report with the remarks that
the first portion of the report has been completed with the presumption that the
City will retain management of the golf courses. The latter half of the report
will be based on the thoughts concerning the proposed facilities management con-
tract with Golf of California, Ltd.
A. Major Areas of Concern Identified in the Arthur Young · &i Company Report:
The three primary areas of concern identified were: (1) the level of
management attention afforded the golf course operations; (2) the lack of an
overall coordinated plan for capital improvements at the golf courses; (3) the lack
of management attention to contract concessionaires.
Mr. Cummins related that these major areas of concern manifest themselves in
the fact that the City is not realizing its full revenue Potential from the con-
cessionaires at the Municipal Golf Course and because of the low-play factor at the
Hills Golf Course. The~ problem at the Municipal Course is primarily due to the
mechanical condition of the golf carts, leaving too few in operation. It is estima-
ted that a fleet of 30 carts could be supported at the Municipal Course, given the
type of facility and the volume of play. The appearance of the facilities at the
Municipal Course also indicates these are not being maintained in a business-like
manner. In the Pro Shop in particular, there is little attempt being made to in-
crease sales with an effective merchandising program. The problem of low play at
the Hills Course has not been effectively addressed. They recommend implementation
of a county-wide promotional program.
Additionally, Mr. C~m, ins stated that it was disclosed in an audit conducted
by the City at the Municipal Course that there was little evidence of any effec-
tive controls over cash receipts. The Arthur Young & ~Company has develope~
some procedures to improve the control of cash flow and believes that the City
must exercise its contractual right to regularly audit each concessionaire at
both Courses.
The alternatives identified by the Arthur Young & ' Company with respect
to concessionaires at the Golf Courses are: (1) terminate the contracts for
cause; (2) negotiate and arrange ~o buy out the contracts; (3) work with the
concessionaires to establish performance standards and see that these are met.
The Arthur Young & Company recommends the latter alternative and feels
that the Golf Course Advisory Commission should monitor the program against the
goals established.

COUNCIL MINUTES - September 23~ 1975, 10:00 A.M.
B. Fee Structure at the Golf Courses: On the average the fees were signifi-
cantly less than charges for comparable local public courses and there is little
or no justification for Anaheim to price their courses lower. Fee increases also
have not kept pace with the cost escalations for maintenance at the C, olf Courses.
Accordingly~ Arthur Young & Company recommends a fifty cent ~cross-the-board
increase at the Municipal Course. They estimate this will cause a ten percent
decrease in play which would be offset by the overall increase of $49,000 in
annual revenues. An increase in fees is not recommended at the Anaheim Hills
Golf Course since Arthur Young & Company believes the lower rates should be
utilized as part of the promotional program to induce play at that Course.
Co Organizational Problems: Mr. Cummins outlined that currently the manage-
ment of the Courses is an ancillary activity of the Parks, Recreation and the Arts
Department operation and is under the supervision of the Recreation Superinten-
dent who gives approximately ten percent of his time-to this function. The main-
tenance activities are under the dlrectidn of the Parks Divisi6n, and Arthur Young
& Company does feel there is,adequate management control in this area with a
full-time individual overseeing the Golf Course maintenance and a lead man at
each Course.
Mr. Cummins explained that the problem with this organization is that no
one individual has the full financial responsibility and authority over the
Golf Courses. Accordingly, they would recommend that the City retain the services
of a Golf Course Manager to oversee the activities at both Golf Courses.
Mr° Cummins pointed out that one important factor to consider is that the
very nature of the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department is service oriented,
Consequently, the Department is not thoroughly familiar with 'the operation of an
enterprise fund or profit-minded.
Alternatives to resolve the organizational problems identified were out-
lined by Mr. Cummins as follows: (1) leave the Courses within the jurisdiction
of the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department with the addition of a full-
time Manager; (2) create another division within the City reporting directly to
the City Manager's Office; (3) transfer the Golf Course operations to another
existing department within the City's organization.
In considering these three alternatives, Mr. Cummins pointed out that
there is a negative aspect with alternative No. 2 in that the City Manager's
Office already has a ~ide management span of control and adding this operation
would further dilute the time spent on other significant City activities. Of
the three alternatives, the third appears to be the most viable. In the opinion
of Arthur Young & Company the existing Department which has the necessary
skills, being profit minded, accustomed to running an enterprise fund, and
having the promotional expertise as well as experience with contract administra-
tion of concessionaires, is the Stadium and Convention Center.
D. Maintenance Activities: An analysis of maintenance activities and
cost allocations at each Course leaves the Arthur Young & Company concerned
over the hours spent on various activities. In analyzing these activities,
they utilized statistics available from the University of California Extension
Service, and adapted these to the physical characteristics of each of the
Anaheim Golf Courses. A detailed chart was prepared showin$ the actual hours
allocated to these various activities versus what the Arthur Young & Eompany
feels should be expended. The net resu~ of this survey is that they have
identified a saving of two and one-half positions, one and one-half at the
Municipal Course and one at Anaheim Hills. Deletion of these positions would
constitute an annual savings of $32,000.
E. Summary: Arthur Young & Company has identified from their audit a
cost savings of $39,900 and potential revenue increases at the Courses of
$83,500. The primary cost to implement their recommendations would be the
salary of the Golf Course Manager, at an estimated $25,000.

COUNCIL MINUTgS - September 23~ 1975~ 10:00 A.M.
F. Facilities Management Contract: Mr. Cummins stressed that the City
Council and Golf Course Advisory Commission should, in their approach to considera-
tion of a private management contract, first consider the basic policy decision
of whether or not they want to be in the golf course management business.
In the event that the City Council determines it does not wish to remain
in this business, then the Arthur Young & Company would recommend against enter-
ing into the agreement with Golf of California, Ltd. as currently~written, .
for the following reasons: (1) there are a number of improvements underway an
the Courses at City expense, which Golf of C~lifornia, Ltd. had'obligated
itself to perform in the contract at their expense; therefore these terms are
no longer valid; (2) the contract terms are not specific enough in relation to
certain improvement items which the lessee would undertake~ and these could
amount to significant expenditures; (3) whetheL in fact, the Municipal Course
should be lighted for night play, since Substantial questions arise as to
whether the increased revenue would be offset by the expenses of construction
and on-going maintenance of the lights.
The final point made by Mr. Cummins in relation to contracting the manage-
ment of the Courses to a private entity, was that the City Council and Golf
Course Advisory Commission should not use the financial results from the Courses
as currently operated, but rather should consider the implementation of the
Arthur Young & Company recommendations and the financial effect these would
have on the Courses for comparison.
DISCUSSION OF THE DRAFT REPORT: During discussion of the findings and recommenda-
tions included in the Arthur Young & Company report~ and outlined by Mr°Cummins,
the following points were made by the Golf Course Advisory Commission, Council
Members and Arthur Young & Company representatives:
1) Commissioner Endicott advised that in her opinion one reason for the low
volume of play experienced at Anaheim Hills is the fact that the golf carts
must remain on the paths and thus playing that Course entails considerably
more walking.
2) Commissioner Martin related that one of the biggest problems in operation of
the Hills Course is the weather and that in the winter, with the grounds wet,
if the carts are not kept on the path, they cannot be utilized at allo There-
fore construction and utilization of the paths result in considerably less
down time at that Course. He further noted that it is necessary to k~ep golf
carts off the grass in order to develop the fairways°
3) Brief discussion centered upon the qualifications of the proposed Golf Course
Manager, and Commissioner Martin pointed out that this individual should not
only have business know how, but also be knowledgeable in the area of golf and
the operation of golf courses.
Mr. Le Sieur explained that the key is to select an individual and make him
responsible for the entire operation of the Golf Courses, with responsibility
and authority, and make him answerable to the financial statement at the end
of the year°
Mr. Haidinger advised that they are not necessarily recommending a new individual
be found to perform the duties of Golf Course Manager, that there may be an
individual already employed by the City who could assume these duties. He
advised that they feel the promotional aspect is very important and this
one reason they recommend that the Golf Course operations be transferred to
that City department which has proven expertise in promotional type programs.
4) Commissioner Messe stated that the Arthur Young & Company is not recommend-
ing an either/or approach on the Golf Course Manager and transfer of the
operations, but actually recommending both be implemented.

COUNCIL MINUTES - September 23, 1975, 10:00 A.M.
5) Commissioner Ledford raised the question as to whether or not there is suffi-
cient manpower in the Stadium and Convention Center Department to take on
the additional duties connected with promotion and operation of the Golf
Courses. He remarked that it would appear to him that there is more flexi-
bility of manpower in Farks~ Recreation and the Arts Department. Commission-
er Ledford recognized the promotional expertise available through the Stadium
and Convention Center but suggested that these could be utilized through
interdepartmental cooperation.
Commissioner Martin questioned whether the Arthur Young & Company
recommendation would entail the hiring of additional personnel at the
Stadium and Convention Center. He agreed that the responsibility for
the Courses should rest with one individual, but suggested that this
individual report directly to the City Council or Golf Course Advisory
Commission.
6) Councilman Seymour noted that from the feedback he has received from the
public who play these Courses, it appears that there is a serious problem
which should be addressed very quickly. He therefore urged the Commissioners
to reach some recommendation on the direction which should be taken this
date. He also indicated that he felt the negotiations with 'Golf of Califor-
nia, .Ltd. and other private management firms should be continued, perhaps
through a subcommittee of the Commission. Since it is evident that the City
will remain in the golf course business for some additional period of time,
however, these immediate problems must be addressed now. He further caution-
ed, looking toward the future, against establishing a separate golf course
entity to provide management, since this would tend to create another bureau-
cracy, which are historically very difficult to dissolve.
7) Commissioner Endicott indicated that she would like to have figures on the
cost to put the Municipal Course in top condition and perhaps consider con-
tinuing the operation of this Course and lease of the Hills Course only. She
further indicated that she felt it necessary that the Commissioners receive
cost information on the improvements proposed to upgrade the Municipal Course
prior to coming to any decision on a recommendation for the Council. She
stressed that the problems encountered at the Municipal Course this year are
not new, that they have had similar experiences for the past three years.
8) Commissioner Sweet noted that one unanswered question is the surplus property
at Anaheim Hills and whether or not that Course will have to continue to
service the debt on the entire property.
Mr. LeSieur replied that their position on this matter is that the debt ser-
vice on that surplus property not be included in the financial considerations
of the Hills Course management since it is a situation over which the in-
coming Golf Course Manager, if that position is filled, would have no control.
9) Mayor Thom was concerned with the statement in the report that inaccurate
and misleading information had been supplied to the Golf Course Advisory
Commission.
Mr. Cummins replied that this statement refers to certain inaccuracies con-
tained in the minutes of the Golf Course Advisory Commission meetings. Specifical-
ly, there was discussion of a driving range at the Municipal Course, and it was
reported that the City would not receive full revenues from this operation; that
the concessionaire had the right to operate the range and the City would receive
twelve percent of these revenues. The true account is that pursuant to a
contract amendment, the golf pro no longer has the right to operate the driving
range and the City receives full revenue from that operation.

COUNCIL MINUTES - September 23~ 1975~ !0:00 A.M.
Additionally Mr. Cummins advised there was discussion of water costs, and
the minutes imply that the water at the Municipal Course is supplied free
of charge, which is not the case.
Lastly, there was a general comment in the minutes reporting that "improve-
ments have been taken care of at Hills". However the Arthur Young & Company
report outlines in detail many improvements which yet need to be addressed.
It was their concern that an erroneous conclusion could be drawn from the
way the minutes were constructed and this was the reason these points were
included in the report.
It was ascertained that each of the inaccuracies mentioned have subsequently
been clarified and/or corrected.
10) Commissioner Macedo recalled that the Golf Course Advisory Commission since
its inception has made several recommendations and inquired as to the status
of these.
It was reported that the contract for the fence to be installed at the Munici-
pal Course would be awarded in accordance with the usual bidding procedure,
at the Council meeting this date and that the carpeting recommendation is
also in progress, funds for same were already approved by Council, carpet is
on order and will be installed when delivered.
During the discussion Councilman Seymour reiterated that the decision
which the Council seeks from the Commission at this time is on organizational
directions; that the recommendation regarding private management versus the
City retaining control of the Courses, he would agree requires further considera-
tion and negotiations.
At the conclusion of discussion, several Commissioners having advised that
they felt additional time would be necessary for study of the draft report and
discussion of same prior to making recommendation to the City Council, it was
determined they would meet on September 25 and September 30, 1975 to consider
these matters.
It was also determined that Mr. Liegler be invited to attend one of these
pre~.iminary discussions. In response to Commissioner Messe, the Mayor indicated
it would be the prerogative of the Commission to request a representative from
Arthur Young'& Company attend also.
By general consent of both bodies, the next joint meeting of the City
Council and Golf Course Advisory Commission was scheduled Thursday, October 2,
1975, at 7:00 p.m. in the Management Control Center.

to recognition and acceptance of the Anaheim Ikettes' offer of support for the
Greenbelt Program by providing trees along the greenbelt corridor; and further
reqaesting authorized City staff cooperation.
The second request pertains to provision by the Anaheim City Council of
the necessary authority for development of the Santa Ana River/Santiago Creek

ment of the plan in accordance with the prescribed procedure and time schedule.
75-873
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 23~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Sneegas explained that the reason for the push for
authorization to complete the implementation plan is that the Greenbelt
Commission feels 1975-76 should be the wind-up year and that with some
acceleration the financial need of the Commission could be concluded in this
fiscal year. Thereafter, the Commission would continue to oversee the
implementation, but no further expenditures would be necessary.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the City
Council authorized coordinated staff assistance to the Anaheim Citizen
Greenbelt Committee by the Planning Department, Public Works Department and
Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department on the planning and implementation of
that part of the Santa Ana River/Santiago Creek Greenbelt Plan within the City
of Anaheim. The Council also accepted the offer of support by the Anaheim
Ikettes and authorized City staff cooperation. MOTION CARRIED.

ANAHI£I~i'S STANDING - COUNTY TAX BILLS: Councilwoman Kaywood reported that the
City of Anaheim tax rate is the eighth lowest in the County. This means that a
homeo~er whose property has an assessed valuation of $40,000 and is located in
Anaheim pays $36.63 annually in City taxes which, she personally feels is a
tremendous bargain for the municipal services received in return.
PiIOPOSED :iE~,GER - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF MAYORS AND NATIONAL L~kGUE OF
CITIES: Councilwoman Kavwood advised that the City of La Habra will present a
resolution at the State League of California Cities meeting suggesting that the United
States Conference of Mayors and National League of Cities Boards of Directors
be merged so that although these would be maintained as two separate organiza-
tions, there would be no duplication of efforts and some cost savings.
The Council M~,~bers indicated by general consent that they would be agree-
able with ghe concept of merging thc Boards of Directors of these two or~aniza-
tic ns.
VOTI[~G DELEGATE A~CD ALTERi~ATE - STATE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES CONFERENCE: By
general consent, Mayor Pro Tem Seymour was appointed the voting delegate and
Councilwoman Kaywood the voting alternate for the Annual League Conference to
be i~eld in San Francisco, October 19 through 22, 1975.
GENEiIAL PLANNING AREA "B" ~.~kPS: Councilwoman Kaywood displayed an exa~n~ple of the
General Planning Area "B" Maps which will be made available to developers for
distribution to prospective homebuyers in that area pursuant to provisions of
Ordinance No. 3452. She noted that this map has been developed at a cost of
$.10 per copy. She wants to be sure the City is not subsidizing any part of
the actual cost to developers.
Councilman Seymour explained that the only reason these appear to cost
$.10 per copy is because of the City's accounting system under which the
printing and duplicating shop does not charge the originating department for
labor, brat for materials only. In actuality, the map costs more than $.10 per
copy, but that is all the cost which has been charged back to the Planning
Department. lie advised that because of the considerable amount of work done in
advance, it was determined to produce these in color as the example shows, but
once that supply runs out, future maps will be reproduced in black and white.

PUELIC HEARING - ABAI~ONMENT NO. 74-1A: In accordance with application filed by
~ir. J. F. ~icAllister, Southern Pacific Transportation Company, public hearing
was held on proposed abandonment of an existing dedicated street, commonly
known as Adams Street, located between Broadway and Manchester Avenue, east of
Loara Street, pursuant to Resolution No. 75R-470, duly published in thc Anaheim
Bulletin and notices thereof posted in accordance with law.
Report of the City Engineer was submitted recommending approval of
Abandonment No. 74-1A, subject to the following conditions:
1. Public utility easement be reserved over, under and across all of said
streets together with all rights of ingress and egress for maintenance purposes
to accommodate existing City of Anaheim, Southern Counties Gas Company and
Pacific Telephone Company facilities.
2. The applicant will, at no cost to the City, install standard curbs,
gutter and pavement along the proposed new cul-de-sac of Adams Street and at
the intersection of l~abel Street, substantially in accordance with plans and
spccifications of the City, as indicated on the plans to be approved filed in
reference to Special Project No. 10~3.
The ltayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council resarding the pro-
posed abandonment.
Mr. John McAllister, representing Southern Pacific Transportation Company,
advised that the reason the abandonment is requested is that their company
would shortly be faced with the necessity for installation of crossing warning
devices and automatic gates at both the main track crossing and tile branch line
crossing on Adams Street. A conservative estimate for these installations at
this time indicates a total of $80,000 for both. ' Under present regulations thc
Railroad Company would pay one-half of the cost and the City the other half.
The City could then be reimbursed from the Public Utilities Commission for one-
half of their share. The minimum these automatic gates and warning devices
would cost tile City therefor would be $20,000. He advised that it would not
help the traffic situation to install these warning devices because of tt~e
amount of switching which occurs and for that reason they ask permission to
abandon Adams Street.
Mr. ~icAllister assured Councilwoman Ka~ood that this proposed abandonment
would in no way affect the crossing warning devices on Broadway. He advise~
that in order to make the abandonment possible, they will construct a cul-de-
sac on the north side of tile stub of Adams Street remaining just off l~nchester
within the existing street right-of-way. Some curb and gutter work will be
required at the opposite end of the abandoned street and they have agreed to
complete these street improvements at their own expense with their own
contractor.
~ayor Thom asked if anyone else wished to address the Council; there being
no response, he declared the hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-509: Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 75R-5C9 for
adoption, approving Abandonment No. 74-1A, subject to the recommendation, of
the City Engineer.

LITENSION OF TIME - TRACT SIGNS, TRI-FREEWAY BUSINESS COMPL~Y, LTD.: Letter from
~Ir. Bill Tucker, Marketing Representative, Tri-Freeways Complex, Ltd., dated
September 9, 1975, req~esting a one-year extension of time to tract signs
located at 2101 West Crescent Avenue and 350 North Brook~]urst Street (Building
Permit Nos. 07202 and 07214) was submitted for Council consideration, together
with report from the Building Division of the Planning Department.
~{r. Lee Sammis, owner of the Tri-Freeway Busincss Complex, pointed out
that this is a 25,000-square foot multi-tenancy complex for both office and
industrial users. He advised that their property consists of 17 acres which is
bounded by the Santa Ana Freeway, Valley and Crescent Streets and an unimproved
parcel which merges with the development, fronting on Brookhurst Street. He
reported that it is ~very important to their business that they have the best
form of visual identification possible on the .property and because they cannot
be easily identified from the local streets, they largely depend upon
addressing the traffic on the Santa Aha Freeway. Since an additional storage
line was constructed by Southern Pacific P~ailroad Company adjacent to the Santa
Ana Freeway and his property, in many instances the visual identification of
their project from the freeway is remarl~bly reduced. Therefore the 50-foot
high si~;n is extremely important to their business. He further reported that
the sign identified in the staff report as off-site is actually an on-site sign
located on the undeveloped portion of their property.
In response to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Thompson reported that there have
been no complaints received regarding these signs; that they are located in a
primarily commercial-industrial area.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the City
Council granted a one-year extension of time to Building Permit Nos. 07202 and
07214, for. signs located at 2101 West Crescent Avenue and $50 North Brookhurst
Street, respectively. Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.
EXONERATION AND REDUCTION OF BONDS - TRACT NOS. 7566~ 7567~ 756~3 Ai~ 7569:
Mr. Thompson reported that pursuant to the direction given by Council at the
meeting of September 9, 1975, the terms and conditions of the agreement on the
part of the Grant Company of California, the Westridge Homeowners Association
and the City of Anaheim in relation to exoneration and reduction of certain
improvement bonds for the aforementioned tracts, have been set forth in
writing, and it is recommended that bonds be released and/or reduced as
outlined in the City Engineer's report dated September 23, 1975 with one
amendment.
Mr. Thompson reported that the City Attorney has suggested that Grant
Company of California be requested to provide substitute bonds for Tract Nos.
7567 and 756~ in the amount of $18,500 each, in lieu of holding one landscaping
and ~rrigation bond for these two tracts in the amount of $37,000. This would
require an amendment to Page No. 2, Fact No. 1-C of the City Engineer's
memorandum.
~r. Fred Armstrong, representing Grant Company of California, stated that
he concurred with the terms as set forth in the City Engineer's m~norandum and
that he has the cash deposits and bond forms to be executed this date.
~rs. Jan Hall, representing the Westridge Homeowners Association, also
indicated that she has reviewed the terms and that they are in line with the
agreement understood by her Association.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the City
Council approved reduction and exoneration of certain bonds for Tract Nos.
7566, 7567, 7568 and 7569, as recommended by the City Engineer in his report
dated September 23, 1975, with amendment to Page No. 2, Fact No. 1-C to read as
follows: "Substitute landscape and irrigation bond in the amount of $18,500
for each tract, Tract Nos. 7567 and 7568." Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION
