REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION ON RECLASSIFICATION NOS. 70-71-49 AND 71-72-30: Request
by Gilbert U. Kraemer, Jr., President, Upper-K Ranch Corporation, for clarifi-
cation of zoning on a 40 acre parcel located immediately south of the River-
side Freeway, east.of Imperial Highway, was submitted.
Mr. Roberts presented a map of the area for Council's review and
reported that, pursuant to Resolution No. 71R-510, in Reclassification No.
70-71-49, the City Council approved R-2 5,000 (now RS-5000) on the Upper-K
Ranch (Kraemer) property. Subsequently, Classic Development Corporation applied
for R-2 5,000 on 105 acres comprised of the Upper K property and additional
lands to the south and east, which was denied, however R-1 was approved pursuant
to Resolution No. 72R-140, under Reclassification No. 71-72-30, with a variance
to waive the 7,200 square foot area requirement in the R-1 zone.
Mr. Roberts advised that when Mr. Kraemer submitted RS-5000 tract
maps for all of the Upper-K Ranch property, it was noted by staff that the two
Resolutions of Intent overlap on a portion of the property, and he has, there-
fore, requested clarification from Council as to which of these two Resolutions
of Intent now apply, RS-5000 or R-1.
The area map was reviewed at the Council table and discussion held
and Councilman Thom stated he was of the opinion that since the R-1 zone was
the most recent action, that this should be the zoning which prevails on the
portion of property in question.
The tract maps submitted by Classic Dmv$1opment were reviewed at the
Council table and Mr. Roberts again indicated the property in question, and
advisad that the property in this overlap area was designated originally for
a school and park site, however, since that time the School District has in-
dicated they are no longer interested in school construction on the property
due to potential flood hazards,
73-48
.City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 23~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Gilbert Kraemer, President, Upper-K Ranch, advised that when
Classic Development applied for RS-5000 and C-1 under Reclassification No.
71-72-30, they originally had authorization from him for the inclusion of his
portion of property in the application, however, this authorization was with-
drawn and the agreement terminated.
Councilman Sneegas asked if the previously proposed park and school
site comprised the entire portion which is under discussion, to which Mr. Kraemer
answered affirmatively.
Mr. Geisler advised that the Council should, by motion, define their
zoning intent for the properties so as to avoid confusion when the developers
submit their tract maps.
Councilman Dutton moved that the Council confirm their original decision
for RS-5000 zoning on the Kraemer property.
Councilman Stephenson requested clarification as to whether this motion
would decrease the area proposed for R-1.
Councilman Thom stated he was always opi~osed to the RS-5000 zone and
had voted for R-1 zoning under Reclassification No. 71-72-30,and this is what
he had intended for this property.
Mr. Geisler noted that all of the property under both applications is
still zoned R-A. That the only matt&r before the Council is a request for a
definition of the areas to be included under each Resolution of Intent.
At the conclusion of Council discussion, Councilman Dutton restated
his motion that it be the finding of the City Council that the Upper-K Ranch
property (Kraemer), included in Tract Nos. 8080, 8081, and 8082 be developed
RS-5000 under Resolution of Intent No. 71R-510 in Reclassification No. 70-71-49;
and that the Classic Development Corporation property in Tract Nos. 7617 and
7730 to 7734 inclusive, be developed R-1 under Resolution of Intent No. 72R-140
in Reclassification No. 71-72-30. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. To
this motion, Councilman Thom voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST FOR REHEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1360: Submitted by David Doering,
said conditional use permit to establish a cocktail lounge in an existing com-
merical structure on C-2 zoned property located at the northwest corner of Lincoln
Avenue and Carleton Avenue,was denied by the City Council pursuant to Resolution
No. 73R-15 as result of public hearing held January 16, 1973.
Applicant now states he has new evidence to submit, as the major
complainant against the granting of this conditional use permit, Mrs. Sullivan,
has withdrawn her objections and as spokesman for the other neighborhood resi-
dents has indicated they also wish to withdraw their opposition, and he there-
fore requests rehearing.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Thom, rehearing
of Conditional Use Permit No. 1360 was granted, subject to payment of $50.00
fee. To this motion, Councilman Sneegas voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18 - RESIDENTIAL HILLSIDE ZONE: On motion by Councilman
Thom, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, public hearing was scheduled February 6,
1973, 1:30 p.m.~ to consider amendment to Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
by adding Chapter 18.14 (RN-22,000, Residential Nillside, low density, single-
family zone) thereto. MOTION CARRIED.
COUNTY OF ORANGE USE PERMIT NO. 3377 (ZA): Request to establish a commercial stable
for a maximu~f 200 horses on property havir~ a frontage of approximately 298
feet on the south side of Winston Road, approximately 1320 feet east of State
College Boulevard, was submitted.
Also submitted was excerpt of City Planning Commission meeting held
January 22, 1973 recommending that the Orange County Zoning Administrator be
urged to request withdrawal of said permit from consideration and advise the
73-49
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 23~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
petitioner to initiate annexation proceedings and appropriate zoning petitions
to the City of Anaheim and develop in conformance with City ordinances, since
subject property was surrounded on all sides by Anaheim City Limits.
Zoning Supervisor Roberts briefed the location of subject property
(approximately 8.9 acres), the existing industrial uses and zoning of the ad-
joining properties, and.reported no contacts regarding annexation to the City
of Anaheim have been received. He advised that the proposal includes a train-
ing ring enclosed by a four-foot high fence in the center of the property,
surrounded on the east, west and south by a total of 180 fenced horse stalls
to be located 30 feet from the east and west property lines, 10 horse exercise
enclosures five of which would abut the Neville Chemical Company property, the
retention of the existing dwelling and garage for a caretaker's living unit,
and the paving of the front portion of the property for a depth of 300 feet,
or approximately 90,000 square feet for a parking area.
Plot plan of the proposed stable was reviewed by the Council and
discussion was held relative to the possible nuisance and offensiveness to the
adjacent areas that could result from such a large number of horses on a nine
acre parcel (22 horses per acre).
Councilman Sneegas was of the opinion that whatever action was taken
now would be committing the property to a like use or zoning upon annexation,
unless there was a specific action at this time to indicate an interim use
only and subject to annual review.
Director of Development Services Alan Orsborn reported that Mr. Keith
Cook of Marco Oak Company, Anaheim, has advised of their firm's reluctance to
relocate their existing industry to their property adjacent to the proposed
com~nercial horse stable, if such is approved.
At the conclusion of Council discussion, it was moved by Councilman
Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, that the Zoning Administrator of
the County of Orange be advised that this City Council is opposed to the es-
tablishment of the 200 horse con~nercial stable and recommends denial thereof
on the basis it would be offensive to the general area, and a protest has been
received from an industrial property owner proposing to relocate their existing
industry to adjacent property. MOTION CARRIED.
The Council requested a member of the Development Services Department
staff to be present at the County public hearings on this matter to express the
views of the City of Anaheim.

PURCHASE OF ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH PROPERTY - COMMUNITY CENTER: Mr. Murdoch reported
on negotiations conducted as a result of Council ,~uthorization, for the purchase
of the Zion Lutheran Church property located on Chartres Street between Emily
Philadelphia Streets, for use primarily as a Senior Citizens Center. He stated
that the Council had already established that this acquisition will be included
in the 1972 Revenue Sharing priorities and advised that the decision regarding
incremental construction of the Civic Center will not effect the priority of this
purchase. He advised that a offer of $185,000.00 was made and communication has
been received from the Board of Trustees of the Zion Lutheran Church indicating
their acceptance of this, subject to Council approval.
Mr. Murdoch stated that several other properties were investigated as
potential Community Center sites~ but these proved to be not large enough o~
otherwise not as suitable as the Zion Lutheran Church property and recommended
that the Council approve the purchase at $185~000.00.
In answer to Councilman Sneegas, Mr. Murdoch replied that this parcel
includes three structures, the church building, a 12,000-square foot educational
building, and the parsonage.
Councilman Pebley inquired as to the disposition of the present Senior
Citizens Center on Chartres Street.
Mr. Murdoch responded that this would be used for Park and Recreation
Department office space on an interim basis.
On motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Stephenson, the
City Council approved purchase of the Zion Lutheran Church property at the price
of $185,000.00, said funds to be allocated from the 1972 Revenue Sharing Funds
and further approved an additional $55,000.00 from the 1972 Revenue Sharing Funds
for cost associated with remodeling this property. MOTION UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED.

DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS TRAFFIC CONTROL EQUIPMENT - CITY OF TIJUANAt MEXACO: Mr. Edward
Granzow, Traffic Engineer, reported he has been approached by Marco A. G.
Vtllegas and Rogelio Verber M., members of the Tijuana Police Department, under
the auspices of Lieutenant William Blue of the Newport Beach Police Depart-
ment, expressing the desire to acquire several items of our traffic control
equipment which have become surplus over a period of years due to replacement
with more modern equipment. He advised said items are not usable by the City
on any future projects~ have no trade-in value, are of no use for replacement
of parts, and are occupying much-needed storage area.
Mr. Granzow expressed the opinion the disposition of such outmoded,
surplus equipment for a token charge would be a generous gesture, gratefully
appreciated by the City and citizens of Tijuana, as the equipment is practically
hand rebuilt for use in their traffic control.
The Council concurred with this gesture of friendship and good will,
and on motion by Councilman Sneegas, seconded by Councilman Dutton, authorized
the disposal of several items of outmoded, surplus traffic control equipment
to the City of Tijuana, Mexico, for a token charge of $1.00, as recommended by
the Traffic Engineer. MOTION CARRIED.

ANAHEIM BIKEWAY CONCEPT: (Continued from December 26, 1972, for research into cities
with established bikeways as to their effectiveness in decreasing accidents and
indications of percentage of use.) Mr. John Collier, Director Parks and Recrea-
tion Department presented an up-dated report on the bikeway concept prepared by
Parks and Recreation Department in conjunction with the Bikeway Concept Committee
of the Parks and Recreation Commission, and advised that although considerable
research was initiated, no conclusions could be drawn from the sources contacted
regarding the effectiveness of established bikeways in reducing accidents or
figures reflecting percentage of use. This is due to the fact that the bikeway
concept is a relatively recent innovation in this Country and those communities
contacted which have had a system of bicycle paths in operation had not
statistics. It was discovered, in limited studies, in European countries that
properly developed bikeways can reduce the accident rate as much as 60%~'however
intersections continued to remain a problem. Mr. Collier observed that the
search was further complicated by the different methods used to demarcate bicycle
lanes from automobile traffic lanes, and that some cities had relatively vague
systems,
Safety recommendations compiled as a result of this research conclude
that the cyclist should travel in the same direction as the automobile; that a
physical barrier is more desirable than striping and signing, (however no bt-
cycle system was located which had used barriers); intersections at which bicycles
and autos merge should have warnings clearly marked; and that the ending of a
73-5~
Citv Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES January 23, 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
bicycle path should be clearly designated as such. The separate right of way
approach was considered by most of the people contacted in this study as con-
ducive to safer bicycling, according to Mr. Collier.
Regarding demand and usage of bicycle lanes, Mr. Collier commented
that these factors are difficult to ascertain since, to date, no statistics
are available from Orange County cities with bikeways, except for Huntington
Beach which indicates 500% increase in use since implementation. However he
submitted information pertinent to the use of bicycles which, in his opinion,
indicates the increased interest in bicycling in recent years. He referred to
a letter from Mr. Lindel, Principal of Loara High School, which states that
15% of their studentbody commutes by bicycle daily, and actual bicycle count
reveals 270 to 350 bicycles on campus each day. Using these figures, Mr.
Collier stated that an estimated 6,000 commuters could be projected from the
school system. Mr. Collier further noted the statistics on stolen bicycles
as indicative to the increase in bicycle popularity.
Mr. Collier concluded by presenting the following recommendations of
the Parks and Recreation Department and the Anaheim Bikeway Concept Committee:
1. That the City of Anaheim joi. n with the County of Orange and
neighboring cities in the adoption of a policy to officially encourage: (a)
The use of bicycles as an inexpensive and pleasant means of transportation and
(b) encourage the development of safe and convenient bikeways wherever appro-
priate.
2. That the City of Anaheim adopt the Bikeway ConcePt in its present
form as a master plan to enable this City and neighboring ones to plan for an
interrelated bicycle system.
3. That the City undertake a pilot project of a two-mile section of
the suggested bikeway system in order to determine the extent of use and test
the safety aspects of such a plan.
The Committee suggested that the pilot project extend from Ball Road
to La Palma Avenue on State College Boulevard.
Mr. Edward Granzow, with the aid of a chart, outlined the striping
proposed for 86-foot wide streets which will permit the creation of six-foot
wide bike paths adjacent to the existing curb. The plan provides a eight-foot
parking lane between the bike path and the traffic lane, which would make the
parking area six feet from the existing curb. On the 86-foot streets, there
would still remain sufficient room to accommodate four twelve foot traffic lanes
and a left turn lane. Mr. Granzow pointed out that one of the reasons State
College Boulevard was suggested for the pilot program is that it has the neces-
sary width, however, using this street will require prior State approval.
Mr. Granzow related the costs of a two-mile pilot program with var-
ious means of demarcation such as paint striping, plastic markers, asphalt berm
and two-inch concrete curb, the least expensive being striping estimated at
$10,300.00. He advised that this sum reflects the cost of modifying the existing
striping on State College Boulevard for the two miles and noted ~that on streets
where striping has been painted so as to accommodate six traffic lanes, such
as Ball Road, the cost would be reduced by $4,500.00 per two miles.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson's comment regarding the necessity
or advantage of designating a bike lane next to the curb when the law already
requires it be ridden there, Mr. Granzow stated that this program would increase
the motorist's vision and awareness of bicycles riders, especially at right
turns and from driveways.
Councilman Pebley was of the opinion, that this plan would create a
traffic hazard because of the cars parked six feet out from the curb, especially
when few cars are parked in this manner.
Mr. Granzow advised that the stripes to designate the parking lane
would make the boundary of the right traffic lane as well and noted that the
width of this lane would not be decreased.
Councilman Stephenson stated that the propose~ pilot program would
not be conclusive as far as safety is concerned, being only two miles long.
Discussion was held regarding a dangerous situation that could result
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 23~ 1973t 1:30 P.M.
from parking cars six feet from the curb on a heavily used street such as State
College Boulevard, and Councilman Thom inquired whether the bikeway concept could
be altered to place the bicycle lane outaide of the parked cars.
Mr. Granzow advised that this alternative would be possible, however
he noted this would not afford the same degree of safety to the cyclist, nor
would it alleviate the bicycle-auto conflict at right turns.
Councilman Dutton suggested the possibilities of incorporating alter-
nate streets and little used sidewalks into the bicycle pathway system be ex-
plored.
At the conclusion of Council discussion, it was moved by Councilman
Thom, seconded by Councilman Sneegas that the report be accepted, and the Traffic
Engineer be instructed to contact the State Division of Highways for their posi-
tion on the use of State College Boulevard and other State highways within the
proposed bikeway system, and upon receipt thereof, a public hearing will be
scheduled to receive public input on the matter before determination is made on
whether to implement the report. MOTION CARRIED.
The City Council requested that the Anaheim Bikeways System Concept
together with the map proposed for street and bike lanes, be included in the next
edition of the Anaheim Newsletter to further insure that the public is fully
advised of the proposed bikeway system concept and the public hearing date.
RECESS: Councilman Pebley moved for a five minute recess. Councilman Sneegas
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (3:20 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Dutton called the meeting to order, all Councilmen being present.
(3:25 PoM.)
REVENUE SHARING FUNDS/CIVIC CENTER STUDY: Council decision relative to the Civic
Center Study, was continued from the meeting of December 26, 1972, to allow for
review and recommendations by the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Merrill Skilling, employed by Northrop Corporation and member of
the Chamber of Commerce Task Force organized to study the proposed Civic Center
Project, advised he was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Chamber to
present their recommendations. That in order to arrive at a position, the
Chamber established a Task Force comprised of representatives from the business
community, City staff, and three representatives of a financial institution well
versed on municipal finance.
Mr. Skilling reported they have developed a tentative plan containing
several steps, as follows:
Step No. 1 would be a fact finding phase so that all of the information
could be brought together which would be necessary for the City Council
to use in order to make a decision to go ahead with a first increment
of construction.
This would be accomplished by a Task Force which would be comprised of
the City Manager, a representative, or more, from the Chamber of
Commerce, a consultant, who is an expert in the field of municipal
financin§~ and an architect.
These people, together with their resources behind them, would compile
information as to the proposed size and shape of the building, area
allocations, specific location of the building on the site selected,
cost figures, such as what is being paid out in rent now, etc., and
some financial justification for whatever action is taken.
Mr. Skilling recommended that if authorized, such a Task Force be given
specific information as to what the Council would require before making
a decision on the first increment of construction.
73-55
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 23~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
He estimated the Task Force would require at least two months to
prepare their facts and reports which would then be compiled by the
City Manager into a report for submission to the Council for their
review and decision.
Mr. Skilling advised that there would be no Chamber of Commerce
costs involved, in such a Task Force, even though their representative
may be professional, however there would be charges from the financial
consultant and the architect which he estimated would be from $10,000
to $15,000 for this first task that would be required.
That if the Council determined to proceed with construction of a Civic
Center in increments~the first increment could probably be built two
years from now, or by the end of 1974. That under the overall pro-
gram, further construction could be planned perhaps in the 1975 and
1976 periods.
Mr. Skilling reported that one of the most logical elements of finan-
cing at this time for the first phase would be revenue sharing. That
their tentative plan, which would still be subject to the Task Force
and the fact finding, would be to take approximately $330,000 out
of the 1972 funds, about $860,000 from the 1973 funds and perhaps a
small amount from the 1974 funds to complete the project, which would
be approximately one million and a quarter dollars out of three years
of revenue sharing funds, for the entire project. That although revenue
sharing is the prime consideration, the Task Force would review alter-
native methods of funding as may be suggested by the financial con-
sultant.
In reply to an inquiry by Mayor Dutton, Mr. Skilling advised that the
Chamber had received the December 14~ 1972 Civic Center Study report to the City
Council and expressed some concern as to the size and shape of the proposed
building being too great, however, did concur at this time with the amount of
the construction costs, but advised that every year of delay will cost an extra
one-half million dollars. That the costs of construction will increase at the
rate of 10% a year which is twice as much as would be paid on bonds or other
methods of financing.
Mr. Skilling strongly urged the City Hall construction program com-
mence as soon as possible, even though it must proceed in increments.
Councilman Pebley asked if this was an indication the entire project
should be commenced at this time instead of proceeding in increments, because
of the large amount that could be saved. That if another method of financing
was being considered, other than revenue sharing, he would be in favor of bor-
rowing the money now for the entire project, as he was of the opinion that
within the next three years construction costs would increase 15% a year, rather
than 10%.
Mr. Skilling advised he agreed regarding the increase and suggested
the Task Force be authorized to consider this and report on these facts and
some alternatives that may be available.
Councilman Thom requested further report on the use of $330,000 from
the 1972 funds.
Mr. Skilling advised this amount would be used for architectural fees
and working drawings, certain remodelings and renovations that will need to be
done in existing facilities, and perhaps some demolition. That he was referring
to the total cost, not just construction costs.
Councilman Thom stated he felt the fact finding phase and the Task
Force was very good and would like to see this method implemented, however he
would be reluctant to use any type of lease back financing; that he would perfer
the "pay as you go" approach even though it may be more expensive, or a bond
issue which is voted on by the public.
Mr. Murdoch concurred that the Task Force concept indicated is an
essential step, however, suggested that the Council make a decision.on whether
73-56
.City Hall, Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 23~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
or not they are going to consider an incremental construction of the first in-
crement as an initial step, or whether they are going to seriously consider
something of a much greater magnitude. That the present and future requirements
for the next few years can be taken care of in an increment of approximately
30,000 to 32,000 square feet, plus the former Bank of America building, and the
existing City Hall. That with that first increment, the needs can be met for the
immediate future, but probably not the 1990 needs.
Further, that the first increment financing can be handled out of the
1972 Revenue Sharing Funds, which the City already has, and the 1973 funds which
will arrive in April. That if the Council determines to proceed with the first
increment and activity, he questioned the necessity for a financial consultant
at this time for that first increment~ however~ such a consultant may be appro-
priate for the next phases of construction.
Councilman Dutton concurred that if Council action is to proceed under
revenue sharing for the first phase, no financial consultant would be required
at this time.
Mr. Skilling agreed that a consultant would not necessarily be needed
for the first increment if revenue sharing funds are to be used, however, a
financial consultant would present other financing alternatives for consideration,
an overall view of the entire project from the beginning, and a long range plan
for the total five or six year program of which the first increment would be
a portion.
Councilman Sneegas questioned whether or not this was, in fact, spending
one and a quarter million dollars now for the first phase and then'perhaps forcing
the public to some other type of financing to complete the project. That he was
in favor of a pay as you go plan, without obligating the future.
Mr. Skilling again reiterated his position that a financial consultant
was needed to advise the Council what their over all projections and alternatives
might be.
Mr. Geisler advised that his office could provide the various methods
of financing available to the City, and once the Council determines how the~
wish to proceed, then a financial consultant would be in a position to prepare
the documentation, but in his opinion, no municipal financial consultant would
make a determination as to how much it would cost to build under one method or
another.
Mr. Murdoch stated that if the decision is to proceed with the planning
of the first increment with a Task Force, as he understood it, the first duties
of the Task Force would be to up-date the space analysis, prepare the preliminary
design, prepare a preliminary estimate of costs, site analysis, list specific
occupancy by function, what the occupancy of the first increment oF the new build-
ing will be, and the financing.
The other portion that the Task Force would be responsible for would
be the temporary facilities, such as the former bank building across the street,
the existing City Hall; whether to demolish the building across the alley or to
continue to occupy it, whether we should continue to lease those buildings and
offices currently leased; any remodeling necessary for occupancy of existing
buildings; and the time schedule and order for the moving of various function~
from one building to another.
These matters would be tied in with the total plan and would be reported
back to the Council {or the Heclslon as to whether to go ahead now with the final
plans to go to bid on the first increment.
In reply to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Murdoch advised the Task Force would
also include "in house" representatives familiar with the functions and needs
of the various City Departments.
Mr. Murdoch recommended that before the actual make-up of the Task
Force is determined, a representative from the architectural firm that has done
the preliminary studies up to this point, outline what has been done.
73-57
City Hall; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 23~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Murdoch referred to the adjusted list of proposed revenue sharing
recommendations, noting that the 1974 allocations exceed the anticipated avail-
able funds. He suggested that from the 1974 allocations, perhaps, the Pearson
Park plunge remodeling ($150,000) could be held over for one year; that the
Vermont Street Garage building and equipment could be over a two year period,
reducing the $600,000 to $470,000 for 1974 and adding $130,000 to 1975; and
moving the Lincoln Avenue and Katella Avenue landscaping ($150,000) to 1976.
Further,. include in the 1976 recommendations, $160,000 under Parks and Recrea-
tion, swimming pools, as this would be about the time we would be involved in
a cooperative program with Placentia School District and the Orange Unified
School District.
That with these adjustments, the figures are approximately in balance,
recognizing that there will be some interest earned during this period that will
increase the available funds slightly.
MOTION: Councilman Dutton moved that Phase One be approved and the Task Force
be established. Councilman Stephenson seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Thom noted that Phase One also recommended the employment
of an architectural firm.
Mr. R. J. Dimit, representing the architectural firm of Adrian, Wilson
and Associates, the firm responsible for the preliminary space studies and plans
prior to the last bond issue, was invited to address the Council.
Mr. Dimit advised they were commissioned to assist the City in pre-
paring for the bond issue, which basically, was the first step in the design
of a new City Hall. That because of the time element at that time, they worked
entirely with City staff to obtain anticipated growth figures and space analysis
and then translated the gross figures into costs, design and plans for a com-
pletely new structure. That although the concept has now changed to a program
utilizing existing structures and construction by increments, Mr. Dimit ex-
pressed their firm's desire to continue working on the Civic Center Project and
they wou~d welcome the opportunity to work with the Task Force.
Mr. Dimit and Mr. Murdoch explained the charts and graphs posted on
the wall, indicating the functional interrelationship of the various City de-
partments or functions and showing the groupings where those functions have
a definite close relationship; that one or more of these groupings or units
would presumably be a part of the first increment. Further, said graphical
material is backed up by a considerable amount of statistical data which could
be quickly reviewed by the Task Force and up-dated.
Councilman Thom was of the opinion a new approach was necessary, in-
asmuch as these charts supposedly represent the recommendations of the 1968
Citizens Capital Improvement Committee, however, when their inputs were syn-
chronized in this graphic manner, a majority of the members were disappointed
in the results and refused to support the 1970 bond issue.
Councilman Peble¥ moved that the Task Force be created and that Mr.
Sktlltng, Mr. Dtmit~ Mr. Murdoch and Mayor Dutton be appointed a members.
Councilman Stephenson seconded the motion.
Discussion was held on the foregoing ~tion, particularly with respect
to the naming of an architectural fi~m, and the inclusion of a financial con-
sultant on the Task Force.
Councilman Pebley withdrew the foregoing motion, and Councilman
Stephenson withdrew the second.
MOTION: On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
the previous action was clarified to indicate approval of Phase One, and that
the Task Force authorized at this time not include a financial consultant.
To this motion, Councilman Thom voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Murdoch asked if the Council desired to review proposals from
several architects. That the preliminary work in conJunction with the Task
? ~}-58

Force would probably be on a time and material basis until the specific work to
L~ do~c~ is known.
Councilman Thom moved that the architect be selected from those main-
taining their principal office of business within the geographical area of
Anaheim or Orange County.
Councilman Sneegas stated he supported the effort to use local firms
whenever possible, however for this large a project, he felt the City should make
every opportunity to obtain the best. He requested research on buildings designed
by local architects, particularly city halls or other Municipal buildings.
Mr. Murdoch advised he would submit to the Council a list of those
architects whose principal offices are in Anaheim, and those outside of Anaheim
but in Orange County, and compile information as to city halls, public buildings
and other structures they have designed.

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 23~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Stoddard Park for purposes of holding a rally with speakers and music on
Saturday, January 27, 1973 was submitted.
Mr. John Collier stated that Parks and Recreation Department had
reviewed said request and recon~aend Pearson Park as more suitable for this
purpose, advising that this recommendation is contingent upon the approval~of
the Police Department.
Mr. Mitchell informed the Council that the rally includes, subject
to approval of route by the Police Department,a walk which is intended to take
the group past the Disneyland frontage on Harbor Boulevard, and the location
of Stoddard Park nearer that route is the reason they specified said park.
Councilman Dutton noted that this request was submitted at the last
minute, not permitting sufficient time for investigation and thereupon moved
that the Applicant be denied the use of a City park for a rally on Saturday,
January 27, 1973. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion.
Mr. Mitchell stated that it would be possible for his group to defer
the rally one week to Saturday, February 3, 1973.
Councilman Thom suggested, in light of the fact similar groups have
been permitted the use of Pearson Park, that the Council consider granting use
of this park subject to the Applicant posting bond to cover the costs of clean
up and any additional Police Officers required.
Mr. Mitchell stipulated that this would be agreeable.

JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT - SANTA ANA RIVER AND SANTIAGO CREEK GREENBELT COMMISSION:
Councilman Sneegas reported that the City Attorney's analysis of the Joint
Powers Agreement establishing the Greenbelt Commission dated January 18, 1973,
has been received. He stated that he is satisfied that the legal and financial
liabilities incurred as a result of the agreement are justifiable, and offered
a resolution for adoption entering said agreement.
Prior to voting on this resolution, Mr. Murdoch commented on the City
Attorney's analysis, specifically that Mr. Geisler interprets the four items
under Section No. 7 as making this Commission more than just an advisory body,
in that Item No. 4 ("Afford the Commission an opportunity to review and com-
ment on Environmental Impact Reports for projects within the project area.")
would mean that within the Commission jurisdiction, no project could proceed
without submission of the Environmental Impact Report to the Commission. Mr.
Murdoch pointed out that the Commission has the right,at present, to receive
and comment on Environmental Impact Rgports.
Councilman Sneegas stated that the City would not be obligated to
comply with the Commission's comments or recommendations.
Mr. Murdoch submitted that although the City may not be bound by the
agreement, this section still creates another step in the process of land de-
velopment by which the Council will be required to submit the E.I.R. and the
project could not proceed until the Commission had met and taken some action
on it. In effect, this section makes an action by the Commission mandatory.
For this reason, he recommended that prior to the City's entry into the agree-
ment, further analysis with the possibility of an amendment be undertaken.
Following brief Council discussion, relative to the ramifications
of the agreement, Councilman Sneegas withdrew his resolution, and by general
Council consent, action on the Joint Powers Agreement to establish the Green-
belt Commission was deferred.
