Public hearing was held at the meeting of December 8, 1970, and

veloper.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject
approximately 10-acre parcel and stated that the property had been zoned C-i,
Neighborhood Commercial, for a supposed shopping center.
Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present and
concurred with the City Planning Commission recommendations, to which LeRoy
Rose, Agent, replied affirmatively.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in op-
position; there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Pebley offered for adoption Resolutions approving said
reclassification and variance, subject to the recommendations of the City
Planning Commission.
City Engineer James P. Maddox interposed that there has been a lack
of drainage facilities in subject area for the last 12 years, and that al-
though City Planning Commission Condition No. 11 of the Reclassification re-
cites the routine need for necessary drainage to be provlded~ the drainage
facilities, in this case, involved installation of a major storm drain from
Orange Avenue to Carbon Creek Channel, including catch basins~ connector
pipe, etc., at an estimated cost of about $60,000.00, and that the State of
California presently has contracted for some storm drain installation in this
area.
He added that Mr. Miller, of Miller Financial Corporation, verbally
had agreed to pay $10,000.00 toward construction of the necessary storm drain
facilities in conjunction with the State contract, and had stated he would de-
liver to the City Engineer an executed agreement to this effect; therefore,
Mr. Maddox suggested said Condition No. 11 could be changed accordingly.
71-14
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 12, 1971, 1:30 P.M~
City Attorney Joseph B. Geisler advised that there has been an out-
standing Utilities judgment of $5,000.00 against Mr. Miller for the past 5
years, in connection with an apartment project, although Mr. Miller's company
at that time was named Miller Investment Co., Inc., and that efforts to collect
this money have been unsuccessful. He further stated that discussion with Mr.
Miller, subsequent to his verbal agreement with the City Engineer, resulted
in Mr. Miller offering to sign the storm drain installation agreement in con-
nection with subject reclassification, if the City would drop the outstanding
$5,000.00 judgment, which the City could not agree to.
Mr. Geisler recommended a specific finding by the Council that the
storm drain project, as proposed by the City Engineer, is necessary in connec-
tion with development of subject property, and therefore, the Petitioner shall
enter into an agreement with the City and State to relieve the storm drain prob-
lem. He suggested action on subject applications be deferred until such time
as the storm drain agreement had been received from Mr. Miller.
Mr. Rose acknowledged that he had been unaware of the present judg-
ment against his client; however, he requested the reclassification be approved,
with the suggested change to Condition No. 11, since no construction could be
undertaken under the accompanying variance until the conditions had been com-
plied with.
Councilman Pebley withdrew his offer of Resolutions, and made the
motion that action on Reclassification No. 70-71-17 and Variance No. 2215 be
deferred to January 19, 1971, to allow for receipt of the storm drain agreement
from Mr. Miller. Councilman Stephenson seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
VARI~!'CE NO. 1189 - SIGN ALTERATION: Request of Fred F. Vaquera, of Rich Sign and
Neon Company, was submitted to install a double-faced, internally-illuminated
plastic sign on two existing poles that are not located within the center 20%
of the frontage of subject property at 134 South Western Avenue, as required
by Code. Also submitted were reports of the City Engineer and Development
Services Department.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Dutton,
action was approved as requested. MOTION CARRIED.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1163 - EXTENSION OF TIME: Request of James A. Carter,
of Spruce Grove, Inc., dated December 21, 1970 was submitted for 180-day ex-
tension of time for compliance with certain conditions, pursuant to Resolu-
tion No. 70R-307, together with reports of the City Engineer and Development
Services Department, the latter recommending said request be granted.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman ~hom, a 180-
day extension of time for Conditional Use Permit No. 1163 was granted, as re-
quested, to expire June 23, 1971. MOTION CARRIED.

Renewal Authority, and appoint Board Members thereto.
Subject was continued from the December 29, 1970 meeting to this
date, to allow for investigation and report by the City Attorney on the pre-
sent laws governing powers and authority of an Urban Renewal Agency.
Councilman Stephenson reported that he had received a request to-
day from Larry Sierk, Executive Vice-President of the Anaheim Chamber of
Commerce, that further discussion be deferred to allow additional time to
study reports, and thereby moved that subject be continued for two weeks,
or until the City Attorney's report had been received and studied. Coun-
cilman Pebley seconded the motion.
The City Attorney advised that discussion with the Downtown Re-
development Task Force had elicited a request that the subject be deferred
until the Task Force had had time to make further investigation, m~d possibly
change their recommendations.
Councilman Stephenson amended his Motion to remove the subject of
Downtown Redevelopment from the Council Agenda until such time as the An~
heim Chamber of Commerce requested it be rescheduled as an Agenda item.
Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
LAND USE ANALYSIS REQUEST - GRANT CORPORATION: The City Manager presented a re-
quest from the Grant Corporation, dated January 11, 1971, requesting a Land
Use Analysis for the entire 6-1/2 miles of property to be known as Anaheim
Hills, located in the Walnut Canyon/Nohl Ranch area, and that this subject
be set for City Planning Commission hearing at the earliest practicable
date.
The City Attorney advised that the City of Anaheim has no right,
either to exert their laws or predetermine zoning in subject area, since
it still is under the jurisdiction of the County. Also, when this property
actually is annexed, a portion of it will be annexed to the City of Orange,
according to a Boundary Agreement with that City. He recommended no action
be taken on the letter request at this time, and that the City Manager and
City Attorney be directed to explain the matter to the Grant Corporation.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Thom,
the City Manager and City Attorney were ordered to reply to the Grant Cor-
poration request, after thorough investigation on how a Master Plan for
the entire property can be implemented. MOTION CARRIED.
SAGE PARK LAND ACQUISITION - LA PALMA LITTLE L~AGUE: The City Manager submit-
ted a proposal from Anacal Engineering Company that the City purchase
.908 acres of Tentative Tract No. 7198, at a cost of $23,608.00, as an
addition to Sage Park, subsequently to be developed for a minor league
baseball field. Also submitted was a letter commitment from the La Palma
Little League, to reimburse to the City $10,000.00 in the event the p~r-
chase is consummated.
71-18
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 12, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
The Council reviewed sketches of the proposed acquisition.
Mr. Murdoch advised that at the time the Council was discussing
Capital Improvements the possibility of purchasing this land for an expan-
sion of Sage Park was discussed and it was decided to retain the item in
the list of Capital Expenditures requiring additional funding, pending fur-
ther developments. However, he pointed out that there currently are no funds
budgeted for this purpose; also, if the acquisition was made, an additional
amount of approximately $22,000.00 would be needed in~nediately for improve-
ments, plus $7,000.00 to $8,000.00 in additional improvements before the
project was completed, or a capital outlay at this time of approximately
$53,0O0.OO.
Councilman Pebley made the statement that he did not think the
parcel in question was worth more than $10,000.00 total, since it would be
an inaccessible piece of land for the developer, and therefore, undevelop-
able.
Mr. Murdoch remarked that where the cul-de-sac street is proposed
by the Developer, plus somme additional property, totaling about two-thirds
of the entire tract, the land has been filled with non-combustible debris
and this would have to be removed before development could take place, thus
causing additional costs to the Developer.
Mr. Murdoch, noting that even though funds were not available for
this project at this time, asked if the Council was interested in pursuing
the subject to see if an attempt should be made to bring it to a conclusion
and provide the necessary funds for this type of action, since the two Citi-
zen's Committee reports had recommended additional park land acquisition in
the area.
The Council directed the City Manager to advise Anacal Engineering
and the La Palma Little League that although they were interested in expand-
ing Sage Park, there were no funds available for this project at this time.
AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE - CANCELLATION: The City Manager submitted a report from
the Finance Director, recommending the City of Anaheim cancel its present
coverage for automobile comprehensive, fire and theft insurance, carried
under a United Pacific Insurance Company Policy No. ACR-200723, since the
premiums under this policy have far exceeded the claims paid over the last
three years.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
authorization was granted to discontinue automobile comprehensive, fire and
theft insurance. MOTION CARRIED.
RESOLUTION NO. 71R-lO - FINANCE DIRECTOR SALARY: The City Manager submitted a
report by the Personnel Director, recon~aending that the job classification
for Finance Director be adjusted downward, in view of the proposed reorgani-
zation of the Systems and Research Department, which would place all activi-
ties relating to Data Processing Systems, Auditing and Budget into a new de-
partment, leaving Accounting, Collections, Purchasing and Treasury under the
Finance Department. He further advised that those activities to be placed
in the new department are presently under the direction of the Assistant
City Manager.
RESOLUTION NO. 71R-lO: Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No. 71R-10 for
adoption, as recommended.

WATER REVENUE BONDS - BOND CONSULTANT: The City Manager submitted a report by
the Director of Finance, recommending the retention of John Nuveen and Com-
pany, as Financial Consultants, at a fee of $17,500.00, in connection with
the proposed sale of $2,000,000.00 Water Revenue Bonds in March, 1971.
Director of Finance Douglas Ogden reported that until this time,
no authorized Water Revenue Bonds have been sold because there has been no
need for it and interest rates have been high. However, it has now become
advisable to sell the Bonds to relieve the Capital Improvements program and
meet Capital Outlay items in the Water Division, since interest rates re-
cently have declined and the outlook for the future, with regard to interest
rates, is uncertain. He thereupon recommended the sale of the Water Revenue
Bonds, as soon as possible.
He further reported that proposals were solicited to provide
financial consulting services to the City in this regard, and it was his
recommendation that the proposal of John Nuveen and Company be accepted;
such service in conjunction with City personnel and Bond Attorneys would
include preparation and distribution of necessary prospectus and notices
to prospective bond buyers, with the actual printing costs to be borne by
the City.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Pebley,
employment of John Nuveen and Company to act as Financial Consultants in
connection with the sale of $2,000,000.00 of Water Revenue Bonds, in accord-
ance with their proposal,for a fee of $17,500.00 was approved,and the Mayor
and City Clerk were authorized to execute the letter agreement on behalf of
the City. MOTION CARRIED.

Roses Parade, thus making a total of $5,000.00 advanced for this purpose.
Councilman Dutton distributed copies of the Rose Parade Pictorial
Magazine, and advised that the money advanced to the Chamber of Commerce for
this purpose was done so with the express understanding that this would be a
community project and the money would be reimbursed to the City from contribu-
tions the Chamber was soliciting for the Float.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Pebley,
funds in the amount of $1,000.00 were authorized to be transfered from the

Roth be appointed to fill the unexpired term of Ralph B. Clark, to expire in
accordance with Charter provisions, Article V, Section 503. Councilman Peb-
ley seconded the motion.
During discussion, Councilman Thom requested a roll call vote and,
in explaining his position, which was in opposition to the appointment, made
the following statement:
"I have held steadfastly that the electorate of this City are the
only qualified body to choose their representation. I have suggested that
we join with the School District in their March election and allow the elec-
torate of this City their right - and it is an inalienable right - to select
the representative to serve out Mr. Clark's unexpired term. Now, I realize
that according to the Charter we must first fail to appoint a replacement
for Mr. Clark prior to calling a special election. However, I further sta-
ted that I would not oppose the appointment of a highly qualified man with
an outstanding record of community service.
"In the three occasions that I have been present when this appoint-
ment question has been discussed, Mr. Dutton has made only the statement that
he was holding firm for Mr. Roth and did not discuss any other candidate,
his qualifications, or anything relevant to this appointment. This type of
obvious bias, and obvious preference for his past campaign manager in the
last two elections that he has run in, and his refusal to even consider dis-
cussing other appointees or their qualifications, leads me to the obvious
conclusion that there is a large size political debt that must be paid off.
I can only conjecture as to what type of abnormal influence leads someone
down this path that he would treat the citizens of this community so lightly
and with such disregard for their rights.
"I realize Mr. Roth has remained loyal to Mr. Dutton, but in view
of his qualifications as compared to those of other appointees, or suggested
appointees who have been willing to serve, leads me to believe that Mr. Roth
does have some type of hold over Mr. Dutton, and this to me is a rape of the
public trust, a pillage of the public office, and a plundering of public
moneys to pay off a political debt, and can only lead this Council to subject
it tO a recrimination of the most severe type by the electorate of this City.
There is no way that I can participate in this action, and I will vote NO
on it."
Councilman Stephenson advised that he did not necessarily agree
with the position taken by Councilman Thom in that he did not feel Mr. Roth
owed any political debt to Councilman Pebley. Councilman Pebley concurred
with this statement.
Councilman Stephenson further advised that during his many years
with the City, he could not recall one instance where a public election was
called to fill a vacancy on the City Council. Considering the cost of elec-
tions and the many qualified men willing to assume this position, he felt
a special election would be an unnecessary public debt, whether combined
with a School District election or held separately.

He stated that he had not heard anything derogatory against the
character and reputation of Mr. Roth and, noting that Mr. Dutton and Mr.
Pebley had served more years on the City Council than either he or Mr. Thom
had served months, advised that he would yield to seniority and cast his
vote in favor of Mr. Don Roth.
Councilman Dutton stated he felt it was beneath his dignity to
respond to the remarks made by Councilman Thom.
Councilman Pebley noted that the record would show that each
time he ran for a public office in Anaheim, Mr. Roth neither signed his
petition nor donated toward his campaign. He further advised that his rea-
son for voting in favor of Mr. Roth was based on the many endorsements re-
ceived from real estate associates, and that at no time did he feel there
was any political debt to Don Roth.
Mr. Pebley noted and referred to other candidates considered in
the Executive Session.
