REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST T~E CITY: Demands against the City, in the amount of $1,120,219.83, in accordance with the 1970-71 Budget, were approved. PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION N0..70-71-20: Submitted by Lenore N. Koebrich, re- questing a change of zone from R-A to R-3 to develop a 40-unit apartment complex on property located on the south side of South Street, east of State College Bou-' levard. The City Planning Co~maission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-232, recormnended said reclassification be disapproved. The City Clerk submitted correspondence received January 20, 1971, from Mr. Joseph A. Smedley, home owner in the area, in opposition to subject request. Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject pro- perty which is 165 feet wide and 620 feet deep, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission. He reminded the Council that a request for R-2 Zoning to develop a 32-unit apartment complex had been denied in 1969, on the basis that it was not in conformance with the General Plan or Land Uses established in the area. In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Roberts advised that, although the City Planning Commission had made no firm recommendations as to how the subject property could be developed, layouts on the property showed that in- stalling a street along the eastern boundary to separate subject property from the adjacent church would allow 10 R-1 or 13 R-2-5,000 lots. He added that the City Engineer has recommended a 54-foot right-of-way, which would leave lll-foot wide lots, and that the plans presented this date indicated a 20-foot accessway to serve the carports at the south end of the property. With regard to a block wall separating subject property from the ad- jacent church property, Mr. Roberts advised that, although he did not know the conditions required for approval of the church, a block wall would not be re- quired for R-1 nor R-2-5,000 development of subject property. With respect to fire equipment, Mr. Roberts noted the proposed plans show a 54-foot wide turnaround at the rear of the property, which would be ade- quate to accommodate fire fighting equipment. Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or her Agent was present and wished to address the Council. Lee Webb, 13901 Yorba, Tustin, representing the Applicant and Orange Coast Construction Company, Developer, advised that the Developer has agreed to all of the conditions recommended by the Interdepartmental Con~ittee, if the zoning is approved and stated that no variance would be requested, since present plans conform to the R-3 Zone. Mr. Webb called attention to the pe- tition previously submitted in support of subject application which, he al- leged, contained signatures of approximately 90% of the property owners within 300 feet of subject property, and, to the affidavit signed by three Anaheim developers stating that, in their opinion, it was neither economically feas- ible nor prudent planning to attempt to develop subject property R-1 or R-2- 5,000. Me also mentioned a list of over 300 brokers, builders and churches his client had submitted as those contacted in efforts to sell the property for single-family or church development. 71-43 City Hall, Anaheim, CalifornSa - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1971, 1:30 P.M. Referring to the City Planning Co~unission meeting at which sub- ject application was recommended for denial, Mr. Webb stated that subse- quent to the public hearing the Co~nission deliberated on possible uses for the property, and ended up suggesting a church. He claimed that if a landowner were limited to use of his property for only a church, it would set a precedent in Anaheim and also in the State of California. Referring to single-family development of the property, Mr. Webb quoted figures evolved by other developer consultants on subject 2.35 acres, allegedly worth $70,500.00 on today's market, and stated their estimate showed that using 13 lots as the basis, each lot with improvements would cost $9,648.00, making it necessary to sell a home on that lot for $33,768. He added that the existing homes in the area are priced between $23,000.00 and $27,000.00, which would make sale of the more expensive homes economi- cally infeasible. He further added that the developers consulted felt the 12th and 13th lots of this property would be substandard in size and shape. Mr. Webb cited examples of other cities where various residen- tial densities have been successfully integrated; however, property zoned R-3 across the street from a commercial-industrial area in Anaheim has not sold because they are not compatible. He asked that the requested zoning be approved to relieve the distress situation of the property. Councilman Dutton stated he believed a precedent would be created by approving subject application as a means of ~elieving distressed land, since there are several long, narrow parcels of land in Anaheim that then would be eligible for the same consideration, and this in turn, would keep these parcels from land assemblage. Earl Clayton, Orange Coast Construction Company, 2909 South Halladay Street, Santa Ana, displayed photos of subject property and stated he did not believe such a potentially useful piece of property should remain in its present condition. Referring to the plans pre- sented, he pointed out that these were designed to insure privacy for adjacent properties, and added that, in his opinion, their proposed plan was more desirable than a second-rate R-1 development. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in op- position. Donald R. Davis, 2203 East Viking Street,expressed the opinion the proposed development would decrease the value of the present R-1 homes in the area which, contrary to the statement of Mr. Webb, were consider- ably more valuable than $27,000.00. Councilman Roth, after learning that Mr. Davis had not reviewed the plans for the proposed project, suggested the area residents do so. Mr. Clayton offered to review the plans with those present. Mrs. Maureen Brown, 2240 East South Street, expressed the opinion that the proposed development would add a minimum of 40 cars, each wi~h an average of 10 trips in and out per day, to the already exceedingly heavy traffic on South Street, and since there are elementary, Junior and senior high schools %rlthin a m~le, this would greatly increase the possibility of accidents on that street. She also took umbrage with Mr. Webb's statement, and stated several homes within 300 feet of the proposed project are valued at over $40,000.00. David Flock, 2209 East Viking Street, suggested the situation the owner is in today with subject property is probably self-inflicted, due to poor Judgment in disposition, and it should not be the duty of the City nor the taxpayers to solve the problem. He added that approving subject appli- cation~ould have a lowering effect on the values of the surrounding homes. 71-44 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1971, 1:30 P.M. Ollie Swegheimer, 805 Plymouth Place, approximately 170 feet from subject property, advised that he had studied the proposed plans and reviewed them with several neighbors, some 20 of whom agreed with him that the plans were feasible, and thus they favored granting the application. Mrs. Ann Davis, 2203 East Viking Street, a Realtor, estimated the values of the homes in her tract ranged from $34,000.00 to $49,000.00. She added that the developer from whom they had purchased their home had stated he had attempted to purchase subject property and was unsuccessful because of the exhorbitant price placed on the land, ~nd therefore, she believed the owner had created her own problems by over-pricing the land. Mrs. Davis said she had talked to several neighbors who had not been contacted by the Applicant's rep- resentative with regard to the proposed development; however, Mr. Webb had con- tacted her about a year and a half prior to this, at which time he was advised of her opposition to the proposed use. Mayor Dutton invited the Applicant's Agent to make a short rebuttal. Mr. Webb advised that the 10 trips per day estimate quoted that a car makes in and out of a property, was based on a family with teenagers, a situa- tion that would not be present in one and two-bedroom apartments. Referring to the value of the area hom~s, he stated that these homes originally sold for ap- proximately $25,000.00. It was determined sufficient evidence had been presented and Mayor Dutton declared the hearing closed. Councilman Roth stated he first believed the property warranted R-1 or R-2-5,000 zoning, considering the street and traffic problems and the pre- sent undeveloped condition, an attractive apartment complex might be more de- sirable for the area than what might develop under R-1 Zoning. He thereupon offered a Resolution for adoption, approving Reclassi- fication No. 70-71-20, subject to the Interdepartmental Recommendations. The foregoing Resolution failed to carry by the following vote: AYES: COUNCIL~N: NOES: COUNCII~N: ABSENT: COUNCIL~N: Roth and Thom Stephenson, Pebley and Dutton Nome Mayor Dutton declared said Resolution failed to carry. Councilman Stephenson expressed the belief that since it was possible to develop the property as 10 R-1 units, or 13 R-2-5,000 units, even though the owner probably could not sell the land for as high a price as for an R-3 devel- opment, he did not believe it fair to the neighboring R-1 residents to approve the application. Councilman Dutton stated he believed the hardship in this situation was self-inflicted by the owner, and also noted that the proposed development was not in conformance with the General Plan and established Land Uses in the ar ea. Councilman Thom felt an R-2-5,000 or R-3 zoning would be most logical for subject property, and h~ did not expect it ever would be d~velop~d for R-1 use. He noted the proposed project requests no variances and stated a garden- type apartmnt develo~nt would be similar to an R-2-5,000 development. Councilman Pebley euig~sted granting R-2-5,000 zoning on the property at this tim w~thout requiring adother application. RESOLUT~ON ~O~ 71R-27: Councilman Stephenson offered Resolution No. 71R-27 for adoption, denying said reclassification., as recommended by the City Planning Com- mission. · efer to Resolution Book. 71-45 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1971, 1:30 P.M.

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATIONNO. 70-71-23: Initiated by the City Planning Commission, proposing a change of zone from County of Orange Al, to City of Anaheim R-A on property located on the south side of Esperanza Road, east of Imperial Highway, and further described as the Esperanza-Fairmont, Esperanza-Roth and Esperanza-Carrillo Annexations. The City Planning Con~nission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70- 233, recommended said reclassification be approved unconditionally. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council. Gilbert Kraemer, Placentia, one of the property owners, stated that although his property was listed as County A1 in the legal advertise- ment for subject proposal, on December 25, 1970, his property was granted County R-S-5,000 Zoning; also, correspondence from the City Planning Com- mission, dated June 10, 1970, to Forest Dickason, indicated that, depend- ing on certain actions of the County, or in the event the Regional Park Zoning was abandoned, the R-S-5,000 Zone would be acceptable to the City of Anaheim. Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts explained that the legal adver- tising on the property was published prior to the change of zone to County R-S-5,000 and that the City Planning Commission recently had considered R-2- 5,000 Zoning on the property. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone else wished to address the Council; hearing no response, declared the hearing closed. RESOLUTION NO. 71R-28: Councilman Thom offered Resolution No. 71R-28 for adoption, authorizing preparation of necessary ordinance changing the zone as recommended by the City Planning Commission.

PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PEP, MIT NO, 1209: Submitted by Carl Karcher and Associates, to establish a combination sit-down and drive-through res- taurant, on C-2 zoned property located at the northwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Janss Street; and further described as 605 West Lincoln Avenue, with waiver of: a. Minimum number of required parking spaces. 71-46 .City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26~ 1971, 1:30 P.M. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-219, recommended said reclassification be approved, subject to the following con- ditions: 1. That the sidewalks and driveways shall be relocated and re- paired along Janss Street and Lincoln Avenue as required by the City Engin- eer and in accordance with standard plans and specifications on file in the office of the City Engineer. 2. That the owner of subject property shall pay to the City of Anaheim the sum of $2.00 per front foot along Janss Street, for street light- ing purposes. 3. That trash storage areas shall be provided in accordance with approved plans on file with the office of the Director of Public Works. 4. That all air-conditioning facilities shall be properly shielded from view. 5. That subject property shall be served by underground utilities. 6. That subject property shall be developed in accordance with C-1 Site Development Standards. 7. That subject property shall be developed substantially in ac- cordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim, marked Exhibit No. 1 and Exhibit No. 2, Revision No. 2. 8. That Condition No. 2, above mentioned, shall be complied with prior to the cormnencement of the activity authorized under this resolution, or prior to the time that the building permit is issued, or within a period of one year from the date hereof, whichever occurs first, or such further time as the Planning Commission may grant. 9. That Condition Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, above mentioned, shall be complied with prior to final building and zoning inspections. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by Lawrence p. Casey, Attorney representing Mrs. Joan Visser Knight, and pub- lic hearing scheduled this date. Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject property, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission. He stated that the Applicant formerly had a walk-up restaurant on this site and now proposed a combination sit-down, drive-through restaurant, with the drive-through window on the west wall of the building. Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant was present and concurred with the recommendations of the City Planning Commission, to which he received an affirmative reply. tion. The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council in opposi- Lawrence p. Casey, 12550 Brookhurst Street, Garden Grove, Attorney for Mrs. Joan Visser Knight, owner of adjoining property to the west, submit- ted to the Council correspondence from Abe Rader Insurance, and Maria Semper, tenants of Mrs. Knight, objecting to subject application on the basis that it would interfere with a 12-foot easement Mrs. Knight has across the north end of subject property, which is the only access available to the 5 buildings on her property. He added that the easement was granted in 1948 by the former owner of the property, although it was not recorded. Mr. Casey stated that the major problem would be that cars on the easement waiting to go to the drive-through window would make it difficult for his client's tenants to get in and out of their property. The City Council reviewed subject plans. Mr. Casey added that at the City Planning Commission public hearing the Applicant had stated the footage along the northerly property line would remain open to allow Mrs. Knight's tenants access to their property, and if so, they would have no objection as far as the easement was concerned, although this would not solve the problem and they still objected to the restaurant. He also stated that the City Planning Commission action granted the application 71-47 .City Hal!, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- January 26, 1971, 1:30 P.M "subject to conditions, after finding that the easement situation has been resolved." He added that the easement situation has not been resolved thus far, and a law suit has been filed by Mrs. Knight. In answer to question raised by Councilman Dutton, the City At- torney advised that if a parcel of land was allowed to be divided the Coun- cil would be obligated to prohibit creating a landlocked parcel; however, it was not a duty of the Council to require a property owner to dedicate to a neighbor so that his property would not be landlocked. He further advised the only decision before the Council at this time was whether or not in utilizing this property for this purpose the waiver of one parking space would be appropriate. The easement problem is a private law suit to be resolved in Court. Mayor Dutton invited the Applicant to address the Council in re- buttal. Frank Karcher, Vice-President of Carl Karcher and Associates, quested clarification regarding the easement. The City Attorney explained that if the Court determines the ment is necessary, and the City Council has approved the conditional permit, ~e waiver for parking space would be necessary; if there was nc need for an easement, then the additional parking space could be put and the requested waiver would not be necessary. Therefore, if the con~ ditional use permit is approved and construction started prior to the settlement of the pending lawsuit, it should be understood that in approv- ing the plans the City does not take a position on the private easement. Mr. Karcher stated that, since their plans call for demolishing the present structure on the property, and constructing a new, better-appear- ing building, he did not believe the area occupants would object to the pro- posed activity. The Council invited Mr. Casey to the Council table to again re- view the plans. Mr. Karcher stated they had agreed to remove some proposed plan- ters along the north end of the property, and thus there would be a 30-foot driveway along that boundary with no obstructions to traffic. Mr. Casey reiterated objection to the proposed use as a restaur- ant and also to the waiver of a parking space. It was determined sufficient evidence had been presented; there- upon Mayor Dutton declared the hearing closed. RESOLUTION NO. 71R-29: Councilman Stephenson offered Resolution No. 71R- 29 for adoption, granting Conditional Use Permit No. 1209, subject to re- comendations of the City Planning Con~nission.

Treat, to establish a 64-unit, two-story motel on C-1 zoned property located at the southeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and Grand Avenue, (69-70-7). The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-220, denied said conditional use permit. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by Paul B. Treat, Applicant, and public hearing scheduled this date. Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject pro- perty, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the evi- dence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission. He added that the proposed project appears to be very similar to many apartment devel- opments that have come before the Council, with units ranging from 437-square feet to 600-square feet, each with kitchens having stove, refrigerator and gar- bage disposal, although the parking conforms to motel standards, with one park- ing space per unit. The City Planning Commission denied the application on the basis the project was an apartment house rather than a motel, and should be developed to apartment parking, recreation and square-footage standards. Mr. Roberts further stated that the proposed ~itchen facilities con- form to motel standards of two-burner stoves without oven, and a refrigerator no larger than 6-cubic feet. Plans and the file were reviewed by the City Council, and in reply to Councilman Dutton, Mr. Roberts advised that there have been two very large motel complexes approved for West Lincoln Avenue with kitchen facilities in each unit. Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant was present and wished to ad- dress the Council. Paul B. Treat stated that his project was designed as a motel with~ economy kitchens and he realized that as a motel his units would be subject to the 5% room occupancy tax required by the City. In reply to Council questioning, he advised that he would prefer to have tenants on a weekly or monthly basis and would not have daily rates if possible. He added that some apartment complexes have daily rates. Assistant Director of Development Services Ronald Thompson explained that one of the dilemmas faced by the City Planning Commission on subject ap- plication was the fact that some similar motel projects are advertising their units as apartments, although they still pay the room occupancy tax. Councilman Dutton remarked that convention delegates usually stay an average of three days. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in oppo- sition; there being no response, declared the hearing closed. RESOLUTION NO. 71R-30: Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No. MR-30 for adoption as requested, subject to the following Interdepartmental Coramittee recommendations: 1. That this conditional use permit is granted subject to the com- pletion of Reclassification No. 69-70-7. 2. That block wall requirement along the east property line shall be deleted for the area where access is proposed to the adjacent alley. 3. That trash storage areas shall be provided in accordance with approved plans on file with the office of the Director of Public Works. 4. That fire hydrants shall be installed as required and determined to be necessary by the Chief of the Fire Department. 5. That all air-conditioning facilities shall be properly shielded from view, and the sound buffered from adjacent residential uses. 71-49 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1971, 1:30 P.M. 6. That any parking area lighting proposed shall be down-lighting of a maximum height of 6-feet, which lighting shall be directed away from the property lines to protect the residential integrity of the area. 7.

(66-67-61(45) - C-R) SAGE PARK LAND ACQUISITION - LA PALMA LITTLE LEAGUE: Correspondence from C.J. Queyrel, Anacal Engineering, was submitted requesting that the subject of acquisition of additional land at Sage Park again be placed on the Agenda, to allow representatives of the La Palma Little League to appea~ before the Council. Mayor Dutton invited Mr. Queyrel to address the Council. Mr. Queyrel, with the aid of a map placed on the east wall of the Council Chambers, outlined the present and the proposed boundaries of Sage Park and the surrounding property. He explained that there pre- viously was a second Little League Baseball Diamond where there now is an apartment project adjacent to Sage Park, and that extensive efforts to locate another field had culminated in subject request. Mr. Queyrel stated they realized that if the proposed land acquisition was made there would be need for additional parking and another access off West Street, and in discussing the subject with the four separate landowners who would be involved a total price of $23,608.00 for 9/10ths of an acre was agreed upon. He stated that he presently has a permit to move the fence north 10 feet along the line adjacent to the Channel, to give that much more space at that point. With regard to improvement cost of the land in question, Mr. Queyrel advised that he had cormnitments from the grading contractor and soil engineer and also had committed his engineering activities to as- sure that total cost would not exceed $9,000.00. Some of the extra bene- fits to the City by the proposal made by the La Palma Little League would be an additional entrance from West Street to Sage Park, and thus greater use of the Park by Anaheim citizens, and also would provide circulation through the Park and make it easier for security officers to patrol the entire park. Mr. Queyrel stated that with the $10,000.00 the La Palma Little League ham pledged for this additional land, and the Park and Recreation fees the City would obtain from the pending development in the area, total cost to the City would be about $11,000.00. He added that the Little League has indicated it would cooperate in delegating manpower to do whatever is necessary to make the project work; they would ~t in whatever improvements are necessary at this time or a year from now without asking for help from the Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Queyrel summed up by stating he believed the proposed project would benefit all co~cerned, including the Little League, City of Anaheim, and area residents. Mayor I~tton asked if anyone else wished to address the Council. Fred Shales, 1226 Chevy Chase Drive, stated that since the Little League usually uses a park from 4:30 to 8:00 P.M., they are not taking up 71- 54 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNqIL MINUTES - January .26~ 1971~ 1:30 P.M. the prime time for their activities; also, the Little League involves approxi- mately 250 boys from all areas of the City without involving park employees, since they provide their own leaders and do their own clean-up. He added that these activities provide an opportunity for an entire family to participate, and also provides employment for teenagers. Councilman Pebley asked if there was a way for the City to pay its share after July 1, 1971, since there were no funds available in this year's Budget for this project. Councilman Dutton acknowledged that what the Little League is propos- ing is something the City has wanted to do; however, there would be no more available funds in the 1971-72 Budget than this year, without an additional source of revenue. Mr. Queyrel stated he believed the benefits from this proposed park land acquisition would be so great he did not want this opportunity to pass; also, if the two lots fronting on West Street should be sold, there would be no way to add another entrance to the Park. He asked that the Council delay further discussion while he and other Little League representatives present conferred. After the discussion among the Little League representatives, Mr. Queyrel reported the proposal that the Little League, as previously offered, give the City $5,000.00 at this time, plus $1,000.00 a year for a period of five years, and the City of Anaheim obligate themselves to a $16,208.00 note, payable to Mr. Brooks, one of the landowners involved, at 6% interest, and that the $2,400.00 due the City in park and recreation fees be waived to make the total price of $23,608.00. The City Attorney advised that it would be possible for the City to accept the $5,000.00 gift, as long as it was given to the City with no strings attached, and the City Council could, if desired, waive the park and recrea- tion fees involved; however, the City could not legally effect a note on the general credit of the City for the balance due for this purchase of land un- less the City did effect such a note restricted to a special fund, which could possibly be a special fund committing $16,000.00 from Park and Recreation fees collected in that general vicinity, or a particular radius where park fees might be collected at some later date. However, he stated, there is not enough undeveloped land in the general area of Sage Park to generate $16,000.00 in park and recreation fees. Councilman Pebley suggested some other pending acquisition of park land could be forfeited to allow for the purchase of additional land at Sage Park. He stated he believed the $11,000.00 needed to complete the proposed transaction would be better spent in this case than anywhere else in the City in keeping boys off the streets and also making them future baseball fans. In reply to Councilman Stephenson, Parks and Recreation Director John Collier stated he would examine his budget to determine if any funds could be found for this project. Councilman Thom suggested the needed funds could be taken from the Council Contingency Fund, and offered a motion to that effect, which motion died for lack of a second. Ed Garcia, 1259 Fulton Street, former Little League President, com- mended Mr. Collier and the Parks and Recreation Department for working with the Little League in an effort to assist them. By general Council consent, discussion of the possible acquisition of additional land at Sage Park was continued to February 2, 1971, to deter- mine if the necessary funds could be located by budget transfer for this pur- pose. 71-55 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1971, 1,30 P.M RATE CASE, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY - CONSULTANTS: The Assistant City Manager submitted joint reports and recommendations from the City At- torney and Utilities Director, dated January 25 and 26, 1971, that George Spiegel be employed to act as a special legal counsel, and the firm of R.W. Beck and Associates be retained to act as consultants with respect to a proposed rate increase by Southern California Edison Company; that an agreement be entered into with the City of Riverside and perhaps other cit- ies to work together and divide the cost of these consultants in an equit- able manner; and that the City Attorney and George Spiegel, together with the City of Riverside, be authorized to intervene on behalf of the City of Anaheim before the Federal Power Con~nission in connection with relicensing of Southern California Edison Company's Big Creek Hydroelectric Project. City Attorney Joseph Geisler advised that Southern California Edison Company has filed an application with the California Public Utili- ties Commission for an increase in rates which would affect approximately one-half of the citizens of Anaheim directly; however, there was some ques- tion as to whether or not these statistics and the basis of their applica- tion was truly justified. He added that the only area cities affected, of those who generally appear before the Public Utilities Commission in regard to rate increases, are Anaheim and Long Beach. He also stated that Southern California Edison Company reportedly will file an application be- fore the Federal Power Commission to increase wholesale rates for the City of Anaheim,which would indirectly affect the other half of the citizens through a necessary increase of the rates to those now served electric power by the City of Anaheim. Mr. Geisler stated that expertise was needed to make effective presentations before the California Public Utilities Commission and Fed- eral Power Commission on the subject, and that the proposed agreements with the Attorney and Consultants would be on an hourly basis and could- be terminated at any time. With regard to the Big Creek Project, Mr. Geisler advised that a 50-year lease to Southern California Edison Company on this site will expire in February, 1971, at which time it could either be relicensed to Southern California Edison Company, retained by the Federal Government, or leased to another party. He reported that it appeared to be in the best interest of the City of Anaheim to attempt to see that the Big Creek Pro- ject would be leased to the Southern California Edison Company on a year- to-year basis, rather than a 50-year basis, and thus the request to file a letter of intervention. He added that at this time investigation is being made to deter- mine whether some units of the Big Creek Project should be taken over by the Federal Government or leased out to local entities, such as the City of Anaheim or Water and Power Authority of the City of Los Angeles. If desired, objection to licensing or relicensing could be dropped at a later time. Mr. Geisler estimated that a maximum of $100,000.00 would be re- quired for a full hearing before the Federal Power Commission and Califor- nia Public Utilities Commission, and possible litigation following. He added that if an agreement with the City of Riverside is entered into for these consulting services the cost would be approximately $55,000.00 for Anaheim and $45,000.00 for Riverside, and these costs would be further re- duced if other cities entered into the agreement. If the two rate increases proposed by Southern California Edison Company were authorized, Mr. Geisler estimated it would result in $150,000. to $200,000.00 additional electrical service costs to the citizens of Ana- heim per month, since the proposed increases would be 15% to 17% for retail use, and 12-1/4% to 12-1/2% for wholesale use. On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Thom, the joint memoranda of the City Attorney and Utilities Director, dated January 25 and January 26, 1971 were accepted and the recommended procedures therein approved. MOTION CARRIED. 71-56 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1971, 1:30 P.M. A,M,E,A. REPRESENTATION - STADIUM AND CONVENTION CENTER EMPLOYEES: The Assistant City Manager reported a request by John O'Malley, Anaheim Municipal Employees Association Staff Representative, to address the Council, whereupon the Coun- cil invited Mr. O'Malley to come to the speaker's podium. Mr. O'Malley requested the City Council to direct the City of Ana- heim Personnel Department to engage in negotiations with the A.M.E.A., as representatives of their members who work in the Convention Center and Sta- dium. He submitted a letter to the Council, outlining their unsuccessful attempts to negotiate with the Personnel Department, and alleging that by so doing, the Personnel Department was in violation of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, Sections 3502 and 3507, regulating Public Employer-Employee Relations. Mr. O'Malley stated that the Personnel Department had based their refusal to negotiate with them on the grounds that the City presently has an agreement with Local No. 399 to represent the Convention Center and Stadium employees. Mr. O'Malley advised that Section 3507 of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act indicates the City Council has authority to adopt rules and regulations concerning employee relations and, in the absence of a policy by the City, the A.M~E.A. did not believe the Personnel Department had the right to deter- mine whether or not the A.M.E.A. could represent the Convention Center and Stadium employees. In reply to Councilman Dutton, Mr. O'Malley advised that at tLis time there are 24 full-time employees at the Convention Center and A.M.E.A. represents 6; at the Stadium, there are 10 full-time employees, and A.M.E.A. represents 7. The City Attorney recommended that, inasmuch as the Personnel De- partment presently is preparing recommended guide lines for determination of units of representation, the status quo be maintained at this time, wherein the Personnel Department continues to negotiate with those organizations with whom they have previously negotiated. Mr. O'Malley stated that his organization had presented a proposed policy to the Gity of Anaheim Administration approximately one year ago in an attempt to avoid the situation prevailing at this time; however, nothing has been done, and now the contract with Local 399 will expire February 15, 1971. He asked that if the A.M.E.A. cannot negotiate for the Stadium and Convention Center employees because they are not recognized as the bargain- ing unit for those employees, that the Personnel Department be directed to meet and confer with the A.M.E.A. in those areas where they do represent those employees. Garry McRae, Senior Personnel Analyst, advised that the policy cur- rently being prepared by the Personnel Department would not be presented to the City Council for consideration prior to conclusion of negotiations with the Stadium and Convention Center employees this year. Jake Petrosino, member of the A.M.E.A. Negotiating Committee, al- leged that although there is no written policy to that effect, the City of Anaheim requires as a condition of employment that Convention Center and Sta- dium employees be members of Local 399. Mr. McRae explained that the persons working for the Convention Center and Stadium are permittm~s of Local 399; that the City itself has no condition that these persons be members of Local 399. He added that at this time no full-time employees of the Stadium or Convention Center are members of Local 399. By general Council consent,the status quo with regard to employee negotiations is to be maintained until such time as the Personnel Department submits their recommended guide lines for determination of units of represen- tationo 71-57 ~ity Hall~ Anaheim~ California- COUNCIL MINUTES- January .26, 1971~ 1:30 P.M. HELICOPTER ASSOCIATION CONVENTION: The Assistant City Manager informed the Council that there will be a number of extra helicopter flights to and from the Convention Center Parking Lot January 31 to February 3, 1971, as result of the Helicopter Association Convention. GENERAL PLAN STUDY - HILL AND CANYON AREA: The City Attorney reported on study and discussion by his office and the City Manager's Staff wis regard to the letter received from the Grant Corporation, requesting a Land Use Analysis for the entire 6-1/2 miles of property to be known as Anaheim Hills, and located in the Walnut Canyon/Nohl Ranch Area (January 12, 1971 Minutes.) Assistant Director of Development Services Ronald Thompson advised that a Planned Community Zone Study is currently under way, which would allow a developer a considerable degree of flexibility by knowing what the rules, regulations and standards are at the time they enter into their development, so that plans can be made accordingly. On motion by Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Stephen- son, the Development Services Department was directed to inaugurate a study of the General Plan as it affects the Hill and Canyon Area, spe- cifically as ~t affects the Grant Corporation's interest, as recommended.
