2004/06/15 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING June 15, 2004 The City Council of the City of Anaheim met in adjourned regular session. PRESENT: Mayor Curt Pringle, Council Members: Richard Chavez, Bob Hernandez, Shirley McCracken, and Thomas T ait. STAFF PRESENT: City Manager David Morgan, City Attorney Jack White, and City Clerk Sheryll Schroeder. A copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was posted on June 11, 2004 at the City Hall outside bulletin board. Mayor Pringle had adjourned the June 8, 2004 meeting to June 15, 2004 at 2:00 P.M. for a continued public hearing on Anaheim's Fiscal Year 2004/05 Budget. Mayor Pringle called the adjourned regular meeting of June 8,2004 to order at 2:05 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the Anaheim City Hall, 200 South Anaheim Boulevard. PUBLIC HEARING: D106 FISCAL YEAR 2004/05 DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET City Manager David Morgan stated this was a continued public hearing from June 8, 2004 to consider the Fiscal Year Budget for 2004/05 and would conclude the departmental presentations. He requested Council consider two modifications to the budget due to information not available at the time of printing: 1) Increase General Fund revenue by $1.2 million due to moderately improving economic conditions expected to generate slightly higher sales tax, property tax and vehicle license fees and to consider restoring certain service reductions in accordance with Council's priorities; 2) Reduce the General Fund revenue and increase the draw from General Fund balance by $2,375,608 to reflect the current estimated contribution to the State and to increase the Community Development Department budget by $1,106,452 as the City's Redevelopment Agency also had an increased contribution to the State. Mr. Morgan also explained there were additional pending State actions that would affect the City's General Fund revenue streams, however, the City was not proposing adjustments to the budget regarding these revenues as the State legislature had not yet acted on those proposed constitutional amendments and because there would be zero impact to the budget. It was anticipated, noted Mr. Morgan, if the initiatives in the fall were adopted, the City's vehicle license fee revenues would be materially reduced and replaced with a like amount in property tax revenues. Mr. Morgan anticipated returning to the Council with an update on revenues later in the fiscal year should those actions be approved by the voters. Mr. Morgan requested Council consider these modifications as part of the budget proposal when adopting the 2004/05 budget. Gary Johnson, Public Works Director, provided and overview of his operational budget. He pointed out the department consisted of six divisions, with 245 full-time positions and an $86.7 million operating budget. Of that, Public Works operations accounted for $76.5 million with the solid waste function as the largest component in the Public Works operation totaling ,...~ ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 15, 2004 PAGE 2 $32 million. Mr. Johnson remarked that the budget had increased by $4.9 million or six percent due to vehicle replacements that had been reduced or postponed over the past two fiscal years and were now budgeted in 2004/05. Mr. Johnson highlighted accomplishments for the current year, indicating the overall condition of the City's residential streets was relatively good, the department had swept 67,000 curb miles of City streets and picked up over 12 million pounds of debris, a key strategy in the effort to reduce storm water runoff pollution. He remarked the widening of 1-5 freeway had resulted in many remnant properties along the freeway and the Community Development Department was pursuing development opportunities for some of those sites. For those remnants too small for independent development, Public Works had worked with several property owners to purchase 17 small remnants adjacent to their homes and incorporate them into their property. These efforts, noted Mr. Johnson, would significantly improve the appearance of many neighborhoods along 1-5. Mr. Johnson referenced the BNSF Soundwall groundbreaking as the capital improvement project highlight of the current year. He stated the soundwall would extend 13,000 feet from Imperial Highway to Yorba Linda Boulevard, was to be constructed on railroad property on the south side of the corridor at a cost of $15.5 million which was primarily comprised of federal funds. He also pointed out that in working with Caltrans, the City had insisted on beautification of the freeways that interlace and define the City. Bridge, wall and landscape elements on 1-5 were specifically designed to enhance standards developed by Anaheim and Caltrans and efforts also continued to insure additional enhancements occurred on the SR 91 corridor. The 1-5 Corridor City Street Beautification project that followed the 1-5 construction was now substantially completed, stated Mr. Johnson, and provided for landscape at all major street crossings of the 1-5. Additional projects completed and/or under construction were also detailed. Mr. Johnson noted that reductions were made for the current year of more than $460,000 and in 2004/05 an additional $390,000 reduction would be taken. He cited delays in repairing sidewalks and deferral of street maintenance as an impact of those reductions. Additionally, the City's Traffic Signal Maintenance contract and signal maintenance call-out requiring overtime were also proposed to be reduced. For 2004/05, Mr. Johnson indicated two new beautification projects were proposed, the Lincoln Avenue Project and Katella Avenue Corridor project. The design would be completed in 2004/05 and right-of-way acquisitions would be substantially completed. He explained this Smart Street project would be 100 percent funded through Measure M monies. He also referenced the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermobile Center as an opportunity to take advantage of Anaheim's many existing and future modes of transportation thereby improving regional access and local development opportunities in the stadium and resort areas. Federal funding of $245 million was being sought for the project and once the Federal Transportation bill was reauthorized and the outcome known, the budget would be amended. Council Member McCracken inquired if Measure M monies were being used. Mr. Johnson indicated the annual Measure M turnback funds would be received and used and some competitive projects were still being funded as well as growth management area projects. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 15, 2004 PAGE 3 Mayor Pringle questioned figures for fleet vehicle gasoline purchase as the estimated numbers for 2004/05 were lower than budgeted numbers for 03/04. Doris Roush, Operations Manager, confirmed Bill Sweeney's comment that the City does not pay any extra taxes on gasoline and buys in bulk which locks in fuel purchases at a lower rate. Additionally, the City was using and purchasing more efficient and smaller vehicles. Gary Johnson indicated he would also review that line item as the market had changed considerably since the budget had been originally prepared. Terry Lowe, Community Services Director stated his department was restructured into four divisions - library services, recreation and human services, parks operations and golf operations. He remarked the Neighborhood Services division was consolidated with the Recreation division resulting in significant savings to the department with the elimination of a vacant division head. Additionally, he pointed out, 17 positions were eliminated and 9 were currently vacant, all of which would be reevaluated in the next budget cycle. With total appropriations for 2004/05 of $40,512,073, Mr. Lowe remarked the department oversaw 51 parks or facilities consisting of 990 acres. Mr. Lowe described accomplishments this year under Parks and Golf Operations as including the dedication of Ross Park, the installation of a citywide computer irrigation system, the opening of the new Anaheim Hills Clubhouse, the trimming of 11,000 street trees and 13,500 utility related trees and the reporting of 170,000 golf rounds. Additionally, he noted, the East Anaheim Gymnasium plans were completed, the Anaheim Hills Elementary School Athletic fields were designed in cooperation with the school district, the Mayor's Sportsfield Task Force report was completed and the department continued with the acquisition/expansion planning of La Palma Park. In 2004/05 the division would continue with the Dad Miller Golf Course modifications, proceed with master planning, design and construction of the new lighted fields at Riverdale and Canyon Rim Parks, begin the construction of Maxwell Park expansion and lighting improvements, and reconfigure the Magnolia High School athletic field. Under Library Services for the current year, Mr. Lowe commented that services were introduced including English/Spanish telephone renewal, on-line library applications and credit card payment for fines and fees, and Digital Anaheim, a web page of 1,800 annotated historic photos with links to library, the museum and educational sites, was successfully launched. In 2004/05, Mr. Lowe noted, the bookmobile service would be expanded, the construction of the Haskett Branch Library and renovation of the East Anaheim Branch Library would begin and the 2nd phase of renovation of the Central Library would be initiated. Under Recreation/Human and Neighborhood Services, Mr. Lowe stated the highlights for this year included securing over $500,000 in monetary support and in-kind donations, implementing a 2nd Senior Mobility Transportation Program, awarding of over 2,100 scholarships, and completing citywide neighborhood improvement actions. In 2004/05, the division would partner with North Orange County Community College District to co-sponsor classes, support the newly formed Cultural and Heritage Commission, complete neighborhood design concept plans for priority neighborhoods and complete a neighborhood improvement needs assessment survey. Mayor Pringle indicated that one of the capital projects was the Anaheim Hills gymnasium which would return for a second Mello Roos vote in May, 2005. In discussing the election date, City Attorney Jack White indicated Mello Roos elections were limited to Mayor August of each year ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 15, 2004 PAGE 4 and the timeline for this particular election was May, 2005. Mr. Lowe indicated his department was working aggressively to complete the design and promote the development to residents. Mayor Pringle requested status on the Magnolia High School upgrade for added use of sports facilities. Mr. Lowe replied the school district was supportive of the project and the public had been invited to a meeting to hear the plan and also expressed their support. Those invited were within a 300 foot radius of the site. Mayor Pringle suggested holding another meeting to outreach further in terms of those neighboring communities and Mr. Lowe concurred, and indicated that the county island residents had also been noticed. Marcie Edwards, Utilities General Manager, offered specifics on the Utilities Department budget. She stated the primary source of revenues came from electric and water, that her appropriation request for 2004/05 was just under $489 million and included operating and capital for both electric and water. This was an increase, she noted, of $23 million from the current year due to capital improvements. The department also requested the additional position of one management intern. Ms. Edwards detailed operating accomplishments which included the completion of installation of the Westport generators at the Convention Center, which provided power during periods of peak use and a back-up generation should a power outage occur during that area, and referenced the improved bond rating to AA+ which helped in the most recent water bond refunding. Since December 2001, her department had taken advantage of several market opportunities to lower debt cost on most projects resulting in a gross savings of about $9 million for this fiscal year. She reported the total gross savings to the rate payers since December 2001 was just under $15 million. Her department was also able to lower the electric rate for commercial and industrial customers. She also addressed the current contracts with renewable resources (hydro, wind and landfill gas) indicating that negotiations were being conducted with the goal of adding another 4 percent to the renewable energy portfolio and the department expected to reach 15 percent renewables by the year 2017, subject to State legislation. Ms. Edwards highlighted the aggressive capital project accomplishments which included four undergrounding projects which brought the total circuit miles for ungergrounding utilities to 78 miles. She announced the completion of the Downtown Area Water Main Replacement Program offering improved water quality and capacity in the downtown area. She explained the department's capital budget accounted for a significant portion of the overall utility budget, approximately 34 percent. She stated there were several projects within Electric Utility that were delayed because of the lengthy CEQA process and the desire to insure that the community was provided ample opportunity for comment. Those projects were the Park Substation, Anaheim Substation and Lewis 230Kv Extension and the delay caused approximately $45 million to be rebudgeted from current budget. New projects to begin in 2004/05 included the accelerated undergrounding program. The Water Utility also had a few capital projects rebudgeted, the Nohl Canyon Tank, the wells at Dad Miller, Anaheim Substation and the Deer and Hidden Canyon Reservoirs. New project included selected water main replacements scheduled in 2004/05. ,- ....... ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 15, 2004 PAGE 5 Ms. Edwards indicated the operational effectiveness and strategic plan allowed her department to provide competitive rates to residents and the utility was proposing to transfer almost $18 million to the general fund. Council Member Hernandez requested specifics on new water main replacements and if there were plans to replace the old Jones water mains. Ms. Edwards replied her department started with the replacement of the oldest mains in the City center and had a replacement program for the pre-1 939 equipment which was completed. The replacement plan would move out in concentric rings based on the age of the equipment and continue the rehabilitation replacement process. Ms. Edwards would provide a timeline schedule and details related to those replacements. Mayor Pringle adjourned the June 8, 2004 meeting at 2:56. After a brief recess, the Mayor convened the June 15, 2004 Council meeting at 3:05 P.M. The Community Development Department, stated Brad Hobson, Deputy Director, consisted of five sections - administration and financial services, redevelopment, housing, CDBG and workforce development with a total of 109 full-time positions. Mr. Hobson indicated the $140.5 million in revenues did not utilize general fund monies. Some of the sources of funding including the redevelopment tax increment of $33.8 million, Section 8 housing assistance, CDBG, HOME, work force investment, bonds and proceeds from the sale of land. Mr. Hobson indicated the expenditures included redevelopment expenditures of $50.6 million, housing development projects represented by $15 million in expenditures, and housing assistance Section 8 expenditures which were projected to be approximately $63 million. One of major sources of funds was redevelopment tax increment and this year the Agency successfully merged six existing project areas for the purpose of directing funds to the highest priority projects without regard to specific area boundaries. Mayor Pringle requested clarification on the availability of project funds for the coming years. Mr. Hobson indicated the first year available funds for projects was $11.8 million, the next year would be $13.7 million, in 2006/07, those funds would be $14.4 million and $15.3 million in 2007/08. Obligations, he explained referred to any redevelopment agreement or economic development agreement where the City was making payments over time. Work Force Development, noted Mr. Hobson, was required to provide employment services to anyone that walks in the door. This year they served 622 youths, 574 welfare recipients and veterans, 3,159 adults and dislocated workers for a total of 4,355 clients this year. The Housing Division provided rental assistance for 6,278 households at a cost of $57 million, sponsored the homeownership fair with 400 families participating, counseled 900 families on rental or home ownership issues and supported homeownership with down payment assistance to 150 households valued at $4.3 million. Additionally, Neighborhood Preservation provided property rehabilitation loans valued at $2.5 million. Under neighborhood revitalization, Mr. Hobson explained the department continued to develop Hermosa Village representing 403 affordable housing units, and the renewed neighborhood provided social service programs including adult education classes, a computer learning center, the Boys and Girls Club and recreational facilities. West Anaheim highlights included the Westgate development, a 275,000 sq. ft. retail center requiring a landfill cap and venting, budgeted at $3 million and to be completed by the Agency , ...... ~""C;;"'''''''''''''''''''''''~'''';''''~l',.,.~~,~" "',."",;~;:;;;...,;;;""".;,:;;.",..,;;o;""",;...i;'"""lii...ijil""w~~ ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 15, 2004 PAGE 6 prior to conveying land to the developer. Mr. Hobson described Brookfield Homes which included three projects representing sale of land revenues of $10 million; Cantada Square with 82 units, Presidents Tract of 28 units and Caltrans parcels of 15 units for single family homes. Central Anaheim was the site of the CI M capstone of redevelopment of the Downtown Project Alpha, a 490 unit of mixed use featuring rentals, lofts, flats and retail space. The Santa Ana Street and Anaheim Boulevard Improvements were undergoing transition from industrial to residential with the John Laing Homes project consisting of 56 homes, 36 of which were affordable. The Kwikset site was being cleared and remediated and would begin construction on 350 for sale units for the next fiscal year with 25 percent of those units anticipated being affordable. Vine Street Apartment project would feature 60 affordable rental units to be constructed the next calendar year with Mercy House. Mr. Hobson stated that historic preservation played a critical role in the downtown area with the creation of Anaheim Colony Historic District to help focus attention on the history of the city. Some of the projects underway include Heritage Village, Broadway Homes, Packing House, Elm Street Historic Building Renovation, 5 Points mixed use project and the Mills Act Contracts continuing to be attractive to homeowner's. Mr. Hobson explained the East Anaheim highlights, indicating the Canyon Identify Program included 79 signs recently installed with major monuments still under design. The Metro Link station was the site of the Canyon Identify Kickoff and continued to be a key commuter rail station, reported Mr. Hobson. The Canyon Lakes development was an exploration of development opportunities on water district sites at Tustin and La Palma. Mr. Hobson indicated the canyon area was the home to 2,600 businesses and supported 55,000 jobs. To summarize, Mr. Hobson stated, the Community Development Department was involved in implementation or negotiation of over 1,800 residential units, 840 of which were affordable, 1.9 million square feet of commercial and industrial space, and the value of projects was estimated to be over $400 million once completed. Council Member McCracken commented on the positive efforts the City had made to increase homeownership by giving opportunities to individuals with lower income to own their own home. Council Member Tait commented on the potential for demand in the Canyon Lakes area. Mayor Pringle commended Ms. Stipkovich for seeking innovative ways to insure the City continue to address the needs of the community. Sheri Vander Dussen, Planning Director, provided specifics on the Planning Department budget. With the recent General Plan and Zoning Code update, her department was excited about the opportunities for new land uses the planning documents would create. Her department continued to process a high volume of development activity in the Anaheim Resort area and this year, she reported, the Candlewood Suites opened, the renovated Days Inn opened and the renovation and expansion for Desert Palm Inn was completed. Plan Checking was underway for the Doubletree Hotel as well. The department also continued to coordinate numerous activities with Disney with the Tower of Terror opening last month and expected to generate additional tourism this summer. She reported the Canyon Oaks development was now sold out, Caliber Motors had received approval to relocate and expected to generate additional revenue with this location, Macaroni Grill had opened in the Festival Shopping Center with Islands Restaurant now under construction. Ms. Vander Dussen also noted the world's largest Home Depot opened after relocating from Yorba Linda. She also touched on the - ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 15, 2004 PAGE 7 success of the Home Improvement Holiday program and that her staff worked with thousands of customers, providing workshops and seminars and processing permits from March until May 30, 2004, ultimately issuing 3,500 permits at no charges to residents. Code Enforcement continued to playa huge roll in maintaining the quality of life in Anaheim and Ms. Vander Dussen indicated procedures were modified to provide courtesy notices whenever feasible. She was proud of the 77 percent compliance in cases once the first notice was issued, resulting in a 44 percent reduction in the number of criminal cases being filed. Graffiti removal occurred six days a week and the department removed 633,000 square foot of graffiti this year. Additionally, there were 4,600 new business and the department processed over 19,000 business licenses. Ms. Vander Dussen pursued methods to deliver services more efficiently this year and the business license function was successfully incorporated into the code enforcement program and the department was in the process of moving that group to the Building and Planning counter to make it easier for applicants to obtain all of their approvals at one location. She noted the integrated GIS applications allowed for greater efficiency and information sharing for staff and customers Ms. Vander Dussen explained that in an on-going effort to enhance efficiency, the advanced Planning and Zoning Divisions would be combined into a single division to also include Economic Development. The new structure would enable staff to be more responsive to the work load and provide greater opportunities for growth for staff. Despite the cuts made, Ms. Vander Dussen expected to meet or exceed all current service level standards for the next year. The budget included an increased in the proposed revenues resulting from the methodology change by which fees for building and planning services were calculated. On the Building side, the fee was already a service activity but this year, the department proposed to change the method of fee calculation from valuation to a combination of square footage and type of construction to ensure permit costs reflect the actual time required to plan check and inspect the projects. This was not expected to significantly increase revenue. Ms. Vander Dussen would also explore more ways to bill applicants based on the time spent to process an application. A graffiti removal fee was also proposed and applicants would receive two paint-outs free of charge but after that, actual cost recovery would be utilized. A new reinspection fee was proposed based on actual time it takes to inspect. Mayor Pringle commended Ms. Vander Dussen for her project accomplishments this year and for the efficient and hard working staff. He complimented staff efforts during the Home Improvement Holiday recognizing that three times the number of permit requests had been processed while still providing quality customer service. Council Member McCracken thanked Ms. Vander Dussen for the update to the General Plan and Zoning Code. She requested that consideration be given to churches, mosques and temples who were repeatedly hit with graffiti and did not want to add to their frustration by having them receive a bill from the City. Ms. Vander Dussen indicated Council could exempt certain types of land uses or nonprofit organizations from paying for graffiti removal. Mr. Morgan confirmed that the fee would be proposed only when the City's assistance was requested and the property owner could remove the graffiti with no charge. The Mayor felt the City should encourage property owners to paint out the graffiti themselves, but the City could have some sort of exemption for repeated offenses. Council Member Tait complimented staff on the high compliance rate for code enforcement. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 15, 2004 PAGE 8 Council Member Chavez also commented on the positive handling of the numerous building permits during the Home Improvement Holiday program. The department had a successful outreach program for the large non-English speaking residents as well. Mayor Pringle indicated the proposal to bring the departmental fees more in line with the services provided was also consistent with his philosophy and that Ms. Vander Dussen's outreaching to the building industry to receive their support pointed out that Anaheim's fees had been lower than other municipalities. The Mayor indicated developers had stated to him they could accept that fee schedule. The City Manager acknowledged this was a balanced budget for Council's consideration where departments had tried to minimize the impacts to services and to employees and that the Budget Advisory Commission had reviewed and recommended the budget for adoption. He indicated it would be appropriate to take comments from Council and to open the public hearing for testimony and to continue the hearing to 5:00 p.m. for action. With no further comments from Council, the public hearing was opened by Mayor Pringle. With no public testimony offered, Mayor Pringle continued the hearing until 5:30 p.m. and recessed the meeting at 4:55 P.M.

Mr. Fitzgerald cited Anaheim wells contamination from perchlorates, a product of fireworks, stating five wells had been restricted due to this chemical. Mayor Pringle assured Mr. Fitzgerald that the City took his complaints seriously when made at an earlier meeting. He remarked that Anaheim's wells had been inspected based upon stringent federal and state water standards and City wells were found to clearly meet those standards. Mayor Pringle wished to insure the public that there was no risk to Anaheim's water wells. Mr. Fitzgerald voiced concern related to responses received by the Water Department and Mr. Morgan recommended another meeting be scheduled with Mr. Fitzgerald to address his concerns. Mr. Morgan commented that the City used an abundance of caution to restrict use of some water wells, even when state and federal standards had been met.

Close the public hearings on 2004/05 budget, budget appropriation limits, and changes in fee schedules. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 15, 2004 PAGE 14 Mr. Morgan explained that Council had conducted three workshops on the FY 2004/05 budget, including specific departmental reviews and received the request for modifications to the budget to appropriate and allocate a $1.2 million increase in General Fund revenues and to implement the effects of the State budget by adjusting revenues approximately $2.4 million. Mayor Pringle stressed the importance of the City budget, stated Council had at least six hours of hearings on the document and had reviewed every detail. He remarked that over the last few weeks, the City Manager and Finance Director had reviewed various projections on revenues and determined there would be an increase of $1.2 million to the General Fund revenues. The 2004/05 budget had increased over the current year but much of that increase was due to costs not controlled by the City, such as workers compensation costs and employee benefit cost increases. The City Manager, stated Mayor Pringle, had requested his senior management team to insure that every operation of the City be scrutinized and waste be cut. Some of those cuts, he stressed, were difficult such as limiting the use of one fire truck in the Fire Department. Mayor Pringle proposed the City continue to keep a priority on public safety and insure that the fire truck was not kept out of service by allocating $500,000 of the increased revenues to that department and further requesting the Fire Department to find additional ways for the remaining $238,000 cut to be funded to ensure the City provided a proper level of fire service to the community. Additionally, the Mayor proposed $500,000 be allocated to the Police Department for purposes of increasing public safety personnel. Finally, the Mayor proposed $200,000 be directed to the Community Services Department which had seen a number of significant reductions in personnel and programs with the City Manager and the department director to allocate the appropriate expenditures. Mayor Pringle also remarked that the budget was prepared anticipating the State of California would take away $1.3 million and in fact, that amount now reflected $2.75 million. The Mayor was concerned in making any further cuts in essential services and supported the use of city reserves to cover that amount for this year. Mayor Pringle wished to keep the option open for the following year as to how to meet the State take-away. Discussion was held by the City Council. Council Member Hernandez felt the most daunting task Council had was to consider the yearly spending plan and he was satisfied with the Mayor's proposal to allocate the additional $1.2 million and suggested a mid-year review to see where the additional $238,000 could be found to keep the fire engine unit operating year round. Council Member Hernandez thanked staff for providing a prudent and wise budget. Council Member Chavez and Council Member Tait concurred with the recommendations made by the Mayor. Council Member McCracken felt Council's priorities mirrored the Mayor's recommendations and was also supportive of the use of reserves for this year with the option remaining open for 2005/06. Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing for comments and receiving no input, closed the hearing. Mr. Morgan indicated a third budget revision was needed to increase the Community Development budget by $1,106,442 consistent with the State impact on redevelopment. Council Member Tait abstained on Item A21, C, as he resided in the Highlands area. Council Member McCracken moved to amend the budget reserves of $2.37 million and redevelopment funds of $1,106,452, and to adopt the FY 2004/05 budget and accompanying resolutions and to introduce ordinances as listed below; Council Member Chavez seconded the motion.
