PROPOSED JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT - CREATION OF THE SANTA ANA RIVER FLOOD PROTECTION
AGENCY: Submitted for Council discussion by Mr. Edward E. Just, Management Services
Associates, on behalf of the Orange County Flood Control District.
Mr. Just was recognized by Mayor Thom and he reported that on November 5,
1974, the Orange County Board of Supervisors and Orange County Flood Control
District approved participation, along with any three cities in the County, in
the formation of a Joint Powers agreement to create the Santa Ana River Floo~
Protection Agency. In this connection the Orange County Flood Control District
has agreed to pay all costs of such agency through the end of june of the current
fiscal year. Beginning July 1, 1975, the FloodControl District would continue
to be responsible for the costs incurred by the agency for rent and clerical
expenses, whereas the cost for a part-time coordinator and travel expenses is
proposed to be absorbed equally by members of the agency.
Hr. Just reported that the purpose of this agency, through the efforts
of agency members .who have made other business trips to Washington, is to coordi-
nate political activities so as to assemble information and contacts in order to
push the A~ay Corps of Engineer's Flood Protection Alternative. He noted that
although the League of Cities had obtained agreement between the Counties of
74-1149
City ~s. ll~ Au. ahaimt California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26.t 1974~ 1:30 P~M.
Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange on one of the alternates, Just recently
Supervisors of two of these Counties have taken the position that Orange COunty
should repay tax revenues lost because of land removed from the tax rolls within
their Jurisdiction. He noted that the alternate currently favored is the crea-
tion of the Mentone Dam in conjunction with raising the height of the Prado Dam
by 25 feet and making some major changes to the riverbed in Orange County.
Mr. Just s,~m~rized the questions raised by other councils which have
already discussed the agreement, one being the open endedness of the agreement
as far as costs are concerned. He responded to this that the costs will be
borne equally by the members and are anticipated to be $1,000 to $1,500 maximum
per agency per year. Decisions of the agency will be based on a one vote per
member basis.
City Attorney Watts raised questions relative to the composition of
the Joint Powers Agency which is created via this agreement, specifically that
it is not stipulated therein whether the agency member will be an elected member
of the legislative body or some other person appointed by the legislative body.
fl~ recalled that the question of incompatibility of office was raised by County
Counsel recently regarding another Joint powers agreement, and this should be
cleared up prior to formal action on the document.
In addition, Mr. Watts pointed out that although the stated purpose of
this agreement was to pursuade Federal legislators that appropriation is neces-
sary for these public improvements, the proposed agreement prohibits FloOd
Protection Agency members from traveling to Washington, which seems to be
inconsistent.
Mr. JuSt advised that the Joint Powers Agency proposes to take advantage
of trips already planned and made for ocher purposes, thereby avoiding additional
expenses by combining the trips. He als° pointed out that the Agency proposes
to, take advantage of its members' contacts in Riverside and San Bernardino
County governmants. In answer to Mr. Watts' concern, Mr. Just reported that
County Counsel Charles Sevier is reviewing the agreement inasmuch as several
city councils have approved same, subject to review by their own staff.
In reply to Council questions, Mr. Just reported that the Cities of
Cypress,' Fountain Valley and Garden Grove have so far taken action to approve
the formation of this Agency and 22 of the 26 cities in Orange County have been
contacted, several of which are contemplating action shortly.
Mayor Thom stated that he felt it would particularly behoove the City
of Anaheim to Join with Orange County and other cities in an attempt to urge
that action on the Army Corps of Engineer's project be taken as expeditiously as
possible. He thereupon moved that the City Council approve the proposed Joint
Powers Agreement for the establishment of the Santa Ana River Flood Protection
A~ency in concept, and indicate willingness t~ enter into said agreement after
the legal problems have been resolved to the satisfaction of the City Attorney.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Seymour absent. MOTION~'
CARRIED.

Councilman Seymour entered the Council Chambers. (1:55 P.M.)
Zoning Supervisor Roberts described the location of subject property
and surrounding land uses. He reported that the Applicant initially requested
that the zoning on the entire property be changed from the R-A to C-1 and filed
petition for conditional use permit to permit expansion of an existing nursery
operation. The expansion would involve an addition of 1,500 square feet of
building area. The Applicant proposes to retain the existing lathe house and
two residential structures located at the westerly end of the property. There
would be 30,000 square feet of outdoor plant display area in connection with the
proposed nursery operation. Mr. ~berts explained the three Code waivers reques-
ted pursuant to Conditional Use Permit No. 1498, two of which (waivers "b" and
"c") would apply to the R-A zoned property located to the north, which is actually
being used for commercial purposes.
Mr. Roberts noted that the Planning Commission held considerable
discussion regarding the use intended for this entire property and the impact of
the ultimate extension of N~yward Street northerly from its present terminus,
which would bisect subject property. He advised that it was an Interdepartmental
Coomittee recomendation that dedication be made for the extension of Hayward
Street by this property owner. Consequently at the Planning Commission hearing
the Petitioner requested that the Planning Commission cOnsider rezoning to C-1
only that portion lying easterly of what would be the northerly extension of
~ayward Street and indicated that he would initiate proceedings to rezone that
portion of his property lying to the west of the proposed extension of Hayward
Street at a later date. (Hr. Roberts informed Council that an application has
since been received requesting this portion of subject parcel be zoned R-3.)
The Petitioner also stipulated to removal of the existing residential structure
st such time as the City formally accepts dedication of right-of-way for exten-
sion of Hayward Street. The Planning Co,mission recommended approval of the
three requested waivers and reclassification of the parcel to C-l, excluding
that portion which would lie to the west of the proposed extension of Hayward
Street.
Hr. Roberts stated that subsequent to Planning Co~nission action,
staff has met with the Applicant and, asa result of these meetings, wouldlike
to propose amendments to conditions as set forth in the City Planning Commission
V~'solution No. PC74-209, as follows:
74-1152
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26~ 1974~ 1:39. P.M.
a. That Condition No. 1 be changed to read: "That the owners of sub-
ject property shall conditionally dedicate to the City of Anaheim a strip of
land 64 feet in width for the northerly extension of Rayward Street along an
alignment satisfactory to the City Engineer, conditioned upon the need for the
street and demand by the City; and that the owner(s) shall remove the existing
dwelling which, in its present location, would obstruct the future extension of
Hayward Street, said removal being conditioned upon need for the street and
demand by the City, as stipulated to by the Petitioner."
b. That Condition No. 4 be changed to read as follows: "That the
owner(s) of subject property shall pay to the City of Anaheim the sum of 60¢ per
front foot along Beach Boulevard for tree planting purposes; or that the owner(s)
of subject property shall install street trees in the public parkway along Beach
Boulevard in accordance with City specifications and subject to the approval of
the Superintendent of Parkway Maintenance."
c. That Condition No. 9 be deleted since a parcel map is not necessary
with the exclusion of the westerly 220-foot portion of the property.
d. That Condition No. 10 (renumbered No. 9 following deletion of No.
9 above) be amended to delete Condition No. 4 from same.
e. That Condition No. 11 (renumbered as. No. 10) be amended to include
Condition No. 4, reading "That Condition Nos. 2, 4, 5 and 7, above-mentioned,
shall be complied with prior to final building and zoning inspections."
Mr. Roberts, using an overlay on the posted zoning map, brought to
Council's atte~tion the possible alignment for streets to be Provided in-this
immediate area for access and circulation for some of the established uses and
some parcels which are presently landlocked. He pointed out the 10-acre parcel
acquired by the City for expansion of the Twila Reid Park facility. He indicated
that the Development Services staff proposes to prepare and bring before Council
for their consideration an area development plan at a later date, but did wish
to indicate the current status of thinking on access proposals as they would
relate to the matter under consideration.
Mayor Thom asked if the Applicant or his Agent were present and satis-
fied with the conditions as set forth and amended.
Mr. Peter Ostrander, Ostrander and Kishiyama, 2212 Dupont Drive., Suite
F, Irvine, Agents for the Applicant, replied that they are in agreement~with the
recommendations and have met and discussed on two occasions the proposed northerly
extension and alignment of Hayward Street. He reported that the Applicant is
requesting residential zoning on the portion of his property to the west which
would be cut off by the extension of Hayward Street.
Councilman Seymour asked Mr. Ostrander whether the alignment of Hayward
Street as currently proposed would create any hardships on the proposed
zoned property to the west which would subsequently force the property owner to
seek additional variances. If this is the case, he (Councilman Seymour) would
prefer to alleviate any problems now.
Mr. Ostrander advised that following review of both the R-3 and R-2
portions of the Code, they concluded that the best alignment for their, potential
development of this property would be the one which is proposed by staff.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council either in
favor or in opposition to Reclassification No. 74-75-16 and Conditional Use Per-
mit No. 1498; there being no response, he declared the hearing closed.
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT: On motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council ratified the determina-
tion of the Director of Development Services that the proposed activity falls
within the definition of Section 3.01,. Class 1 of the City of Anaheim Guidelines
to the requirements for an environmental impact report and is, therefore, categori-
cally exempt from the requirement to file an environmental impact report.
MOTION CARRIED.
RESOLUTION NO. 74R-578: Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No. 74R-578 for
adoption, authorizing the preparation of the necessary ordinance, changing the
zone as requested, excluding the westerly 220-foot portion of the property, sub-
ject to the conditions recommended by the City Planning Commission with amendments
as recommended above.

CONTI~.D R~UEST - EXTENSION OF TINE - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 69-70-25~ TENTATIVE TRACT
NO. 7~37: Submitted by Terry L. Crowther, Manager, Project Development, Pacesetter
Romps, Inc~, requesting an extension of time for, the development of 97 RS-5000
zoned lots'located between gsperanza Road and the Santa Ann River Channel, east
of I~perial Highway. Said request was continued from the meetings of October 29,
1974 and November 12, 1974, to allow the Applicant time to file a supplement to
Environmental Impact Report No. 64.
Deputy City Clerk Linda Roberts advised that the required supplement
to E.I.R. No. 64 has been filed and has been reviewed by staff, with report and
reco~endatiOn also presented from Development Services Department. In addition,
Hrs. Roberts reported that communication dated November 22, 1974 has been received
fro~Hr. Crowther informing the Council that Tract No. 7666 will not be developed
nor recorded and, therefore, that the request for extension of ti~e to Reclass-
ification No. 69-70-25 and Tentative Tract No. 7137 be removed from the Agenda,
and the fees refunded and bonds exonerated for Tract No. 7666.
Co~unication was received at open meeting this date from Mr. Gilbert U.
Krae~er, Jr., President of the Upper K Ranch Corporation, 842 Alta Vista,
Placentia, 92670, advising that foreclosure proceedings regarding subject tract
will be consuamated during December, 1974, at which time the Upper K Ranch
Corporation will become the legal owner of this property. The tentative tract
mep, however, will expire December 7, 1974, and the Upper K Ranch Corporation,
therefore, requests an extension of time to Tentative Tract Map No. 7137, as
well as to Reclassification No. 69-70-25.
Hr. Jeff Hillett, 1335 West Valencia, Fullerton, representing
Hr. F~ae~er, reported that the foreclosure takes effect December 10, 1974 whereas
the tract mep ~ust be recorded by December 7, 1974. Ha indicated that they
wished to sub-it a substitute bond, pay the fees and proceed with this project.
The City Attorney informed Hr. ~lillett that although there is no prob-
lem in granting an extension of time to the resolution of intent to rezone the
property, the Subdivision Map Act provides for only two one-year extensions of
time prior to recordation of a mep. In this instance the time which expires on
Detester 7, 1974, is the second of these one-year extensions and further exten-
sions beyond this would be difficult to defend if contested.
74-1154
City Hall.~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M.
On receipt of this information, Mr. Millett advised that they would
accept an extension of time to the reclassification and submit a new tract map
for processing.
Mr. Roberts indicated that should Council desire to grant an extension
of time to the resolution of intent, it would be 'appropriate to incorporate the
staff recommendation with regard to providing a line-of-sight acoustical shield
for areas within 600 feet of the railroad tracks in order to achieve exterior
noise levels categorized as "normally acceptable" according to HUD noise guide-
lines. This requirement should also.apply to any future tract maps submitted on
the property.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the
City Council granted a retroactive extension of time to Reclassification No.
69-70-25, expiring February 9, 1976, and authorized the addition to the condi-
tions thereof, the provision that any project be modified to provide aline-of-
sight acoustical shield for areas within 600 feet of the railroad tracks in
order to achieve exterior noise levels which are categorized as normally accept-
able according to HUD noise guidelines; said condition to also apply to any
future tract map relating to subject property. MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST - OFFICIAL SANCTION - HELICOPTER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA CONVENTION. AT THE
DISNEYLAND HOTEL: Request was submitted byMs. Jeri Schroeder, Convention Coordinator,
Disneyland Hotel, for official recognition and sanction of activities proposed
by the Helicopter Association of America during their convention at the Disneyland
facility in January, 1975.
Ms. Schroeder described the three locations at which helicopter flights
and static displays will be conducted and outlined the proposed flight demonstra-
tion schedule. She emphasized that the permit issued to conduct these activities
from the heliport is not valid for night flying and, therefore, all demonstra-
tions, arrivals and departures of demonstration aircraft Will take place during
daylight hours. She reported that in the past many inquiries were received from
Anaheim residents relative to these flying activities, and the Helicopter Associa-
tion, therefore, wished the City Council to be aware of what is proposed and, ,if
possible, to give their sanction so that publicity explaining the event may be
disseminated.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out for the record that this convention
is to be conducted at the Disneyland Hotel Convention Center, not the Anaheim
Convention Center, and any references to "Convention Center" relate to the Hotel
facility.
Mr. Jim Vittitoe of Hughes Aircraft Company added that all demonstra-
tions and flying will be controlled by the FAA, and they will have an inspector
on site.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood's question regarding liability in the
event of accident, Ms. Schroeder repOrted that Walt Disney Productions and the
Dlsneyland Hotel are currently conducting negotiations regarding the provision
of adequate insurance protection. In addition, the helicopter manufacturers are
required to carry five million dollars liability protectiou.
At the conclusion of discussion, Mayor Thom advised Ms. Schroeder that
the Anaheim City Council recognizes and is aware of the activities proposed by
the Helicopter Association, and wishes to extend a cordial welcome to the City
of Anaheim.
REQUEST - EXTENSION OF TIME~ TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 7587 (VARIANCE NO. 22957: Communi-
cation from Wayne Callaghan, Planning CoordinatOr, Anaheim Hills, Inc., dated
October 11, 1974, requesting an extension of time for the development of a 39-
lot R-A subdivision located northwest of the future intersection of Avenida de
Santiago and Hidden Canyon Road and southerly of Serrano Avenue was submitted,
together with reports 'from Development Services Department and the City Engineer.
The City Engineer's report recommends denial of the request for extension of
time to Tentative Tract No. 7587 due to the fact that there have been two one-
year extensions of time granted, the latter having expired November 9, 1974, and
the Subdivision Map Act provides for no further extensions of time beyond the
two one-year periods already afforded this tract.
74-1155
City ~mll, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26~ 1974, 1:30 P.M.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. John Millick, representing
Anaheim Hills, Inc., reported that their basic problem with this tract, which is
one of the proposed equestrian estate areas, is providing water to this higher
elevation. In order to provide water service to this area, an additional reser-
voir must be built and the Cities of Orange and Anaheim are in the process of
desl~ning and installing same.
Mr. Roberts reported that the request for extension of time to Variance
No. 2295 will be reviewed by the City Planning Commission and their action for-
warded to Council for review.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the
City Council denied the request for extension of time to Tentative Tract No.
7587 since no further extensions of time are provided pursuant, to the Subdivision
Map Act. MOTION CARRIED.
.REqUE~T - TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 8679 - AHEI~ME~ TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: Requests
from Lewis R. Schmid, President, Schmid Development, Inc., 1681 Langley. Avenue,
I~vine, 92705, regarding deletion of Condition No. 11 of Tentative Map, Tract
No. 8679, regarding maintenance of slopes within said tract by a homeowners'
association; and further requesting that all streets in the proposed development
be a 54-foot right-of-way with a 40-foot paved surface were submitted, together
with reports from Development Services Department and the City Engineer.
Zoning Supervisor Roberts reported that Just prior to'this meeting,
Mr. Schmid advised that he wishes a one-week continuance regarding the request
for deletion of Condition No. 11, but wishes Council to consider the request
relating to street widths at this time.
Councilwoman Kaywood inquired whether the approval of the narrower
street widths would create a larger lot size and, if so, would the developer
then charge more for these lots.
Mr. Maddox replied that the request, as proPosed, does not constitute
a reduction in roadway width, but rather of the parkway width and would create
slight additional footage within the lot.
Mr. I,ewis R. Schmid replied that they would not charge an additional
fee for the slight increase in lot size. He explained that the reason for this
request is basically a problem which was created in transition of engineering
drawings from the first map submitted to subsequent maps. This correctionwill
in some cases actually increase the width of the roadway from 36 to 40 feet.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the
request for deletion of Condition No. 11, Tentative Tract No. 8679 was continued
one week. MOTION CARRIED.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded .by Councilman Sneegas, the
request to provide uniform 54-foot right-of-way streets with a 40-foot paved
surface within Tentative Tract No. 8679 was approved. ~0TION CARRIED.

CONTINUED CONSIDERATION - PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT~ ANAHEIM. CIVIC CENTER:
(Continued from the meeting of November 5, 1974, pending the outcome of the
General Election with regard to Proposition H.) On motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council continued consider-
ation of the environmental impact report for the Anaheim Civic Center to the
meeting of December 24, 1974, 1:30 P.M. MOTION CARRIED.
UPDATE - ORANGE COUNTY USE PERMIT NO. UP-3560 - BURRIS SAND PIT RECLAMATION PROJECT:
Zoning Supervisor Roberts reported that the Orange County Water District. will
appeal the Orange County Planning Commission decision on the Burris Sand Pit
Reclamation Project to the County Board of Supervisors. The Orange County Water
District Board of Directors has also requested their staff to prepare a report
listing the various alternatives which might be possible for use of this property
and the effects of these. He noted that Mr. Bailey (OCWD) has emphasized the
need for this particular site to be used as a percolation pond. Mr. Roberts
indicated that if the Council desires to be represented by staff at the public
hearing before the Board of Supervisors, they would be happy to comply.
City Manager Keith Murdoch noted that it would be extremely important
that City staff work with the Board of Supervisors representatives and the
Orange County Water District on the possibility of suitable alternatives which
are based on some combination of use. He noted that Council also indicated
willingness to meet with the Orange County Board of Supervisors on this matter,
but felt this meeting should be deferred until the groundwork is prepared and
the options are known.
By general consent the City Council indicated agreement with the
recommendations and direction indicated by the City Manager.
SALE OF EXCESS PROPERTY - ANAHEIM UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT: Zoning Supervisor
Roberts reported that the Anaheim Union High School District has declared its
intention to sell in excess of twenty acres of property located on the east side
of Loara Street, south of Broadway, which was formerly designated as a Junior
high school site. Since the Development Services Department has begun to receive
inquiries from potential developers regarding the type of development they might
be able to achieve on this particular property, the DevelopmentServices Depart-
ment wanted to bring this matter to Council's attention.
Mr. Roberts described the existing zOning and land uses immediately
adjacent to subject property which include an.R-1 residential subdivision to the
south in which two streets stub into the south boundary of this property, as
well as single-family residential homes across the street to the west. The
property immediately north, although vacant, has a resolution of intent to R-3,
and to the east lies the Pacific Railroad right-of-way.
Mr. Roberts indicated that from'staff discussiOn so far it may be
concluded that since this property is immediately adjacent to the single family
subdivision and the streets stub into it on the south boundary, it would be
likely that these streets would be extended. He inquired whether Council would
wish the staff to initiate public hearings for a general plan amendment to study
various density alternatives and the impact of these densities. He commented
that one of Council's alternatives might be to just wait and consider the matter
when a development proposal is received.
Councilman Seymour stated that adoption of a general plan amendment
indicating the general direction of this property in the future would allow
those interested in the property to bid with more reasonableness as they would
have an idea as to what they could expect the property to yield. He indicated
that he would personally like to see the existing single family residential

neighborhood buffered by additional single-family homes and perhaps the density
misht be increased progressively moving towards Broadway. He also remarked that
the streets to be extended perhaps empty into Loara Street to avoid extending a
residential street into a higher density zone.
Mr. Roberts advised that staff could prepare soma possible alternatives
along the lines described by Councilman Seymour regarding the street alignment,
together with some alternative tract designs which would buffer both adjacent
existing R-1 developments, and by general consent, the Council authorized staff
to take this direction.

THREE PARCELS OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTY - MIRALONAAND SUNSHINE WAY: Mr. Murdoch reported
that three parcels of property were conveyed to the City of Anaheim by the State
of California at no cost, which are located approximately at the intersection of
Miraloma Avenue and Sunshine Way. Me recalled that in 1973 the adjoining property
owner offered to purchase one of these parcels for $3,000,.and the City Council
rejected that offer, but indicated they would sell for $7,500. The sale was
never completed.
Since these parcels are located within Project Alpha boundaries and,
therefore, the Rmdevelopment Agency and Commission have some responsibility in
redevelopment of same, Mr. Murdoch noted it may be advisable for the City Council
to convey these parcels at no cost to the Redevelopment Agency to negotiate for
sale to interested developers.
Upon being informed by the City Attorney that conveying the parcels
would actually require that two sets of deeds be prepared, conveyed and formally
accepted, the Council declared their intent to sell subject parcels through
negotiations by the Redevelopment Commission and/or Agency, with deeds to be
prepared for conveyance once the transaction has been worked out.
PURCMASE OF EQUIPMENT: Prior to reporting on informal' bids received for purchase of
various budgeted items, the City lianager reported that the City's financial
situation as far as purchases are concerned has bean reviewed, and it is apparent
that even though the costs for capital outlay items are running over the Budget,
there is some flexibility in the remaining purchases, both capital improvements
and capital outlay, so that this increase is not that significant at this point.
It is, therefore, recommended that the following purchases be authorized:
20 INTERMEDIATE SEDANS FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT: Mr. Murdoch reported on informal

REPAIRS TO POLICE HELICOPTER: Mr. Murdoch reported that due to an accident which
occurred during a training activity, substantial~damage to the tail section of
one of the Police helicopters was sustained, it is estimated that the cost to
repair same would be $9,300. He reported that it is recommended this repair be
deferred and that interest from other jurisdictions be sought regarding the
sharing of expenses and services of the helicopters, in an attempt to work out a
joint operation program.
Councilman Seymour commented that he hoped, especially since there is
now only one helicopter in service, that this aircraft would spend a great deal
of time in the canyon area since it is difficult to pOlice that area with ground
units.
Mr. Murdoch responded that the one helicopter which is available will
respond to calls anywhere in its vicinity, but that the City will, of course, be
reluctant to use the one aircraft outside of the City Limits.
The Council indicated general agreement to deferral of the necessary
helicopter repairs as outlined by the City Mamager.
CLAIMS AGAINST TME CITY: The following claims were denied as recommended by the City
.Attorney and ordered referred to the insurance carrier, on motion by Councilwoman
Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom:

1974.
b. Claim submitted by Southern California Gas Compamy for damage sus-
tained to gas main at 2880 Miraloma, purportedly as a result of actions of City
crew from the Water Division, on or about October 12, 1974.
MOTION CARRIED.

In reply to Councilwoman Kay~ood's question regarding the City's abil-
ity to save money by absorbing costs of small claims, Mr. Wefts reported that a
risk study of the City's liabilities is presently underway, and he would assume
that a portion of this would be directed towards the possibility of some type of
deductible where the City handles claims under a certain amount.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY CONDEMNATION NO. 9 - ADDITIONS AND REMOVALS:
Report from the Utilities Director advising that they have reviewed the additions
and removals transmitted by Southern California Edision Company pursuant to
Mr. Burbank's letter of October 31, 1974, and have verified them with review of
the inventory maps and a spot check in the field, finding them in proper order.
He, therefore, recommends that payment for the net additions for Condemnation
No. 9 in the amount of $4,356, be approved.
Mr. Watts advised Council that pursuant to the agreement authorized by
Council on July 9, 1974, (Resolution No. 74R-332), the City is required to pay
for whatever additions there are, less removals, subsequent to the date of the
ori$inal inventory, March 5, 1974, and prior to June 28, 1974. He advised that
there is no way of knowing in advance what this cost might be.
Mr. Murdoch reported that this is a budgeted item.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City
Council authorized payment be made to Southern California EdisonCompany in the
amount of $4,356, for the net additions for Condemnation No. 9. MOTION CARRIED.

,RE, COH~ED ACTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL RATE SAVING - ELECTRICAL REVENUE BOND PROGRAM,
AND ~ OF BOND COUNSEL: Memorandum dated November 22, 1974, from the
Utilities Director, explaining said reco-~ndations (on file in the office of
the City Clerk) was submitted. Hr. Hurdoch prefaced Mr. Hoyt's presentation by
advising that the recommendations presented this date appeared to the City staff
to be at long last an opportunity for the people of Anaheim, as consumers of
electricity, to do something about keeping the rates for electricity down to a
minimam. He stated that heretofore these rates have been dependent upon the'
wholesale supplier and, of course, still are.
The proposal submitted to Council this date provides for a revenue
bond election, to issue bonds whichwould be entirely supported from the revenues
of the electrical system. Although no savings would be obtained until the power
seneration facilities in which the City participates are in service, the earliest
date anticipated being 1979-1980, within a relatively short period of time after
that, the City should reach the point of an approximate 25I saving in the cost
of power to the System. Dependent upon~hat the City Council's feelings are,
this 25% saving can be passed entirely onto each consumer.
Mr. Murdoch commented that participation in power generation plants is
a very costly item since these are multi-million dollar facilities. He emphasized
that it is not the proposal of the City of Anaheim to operate any of these
74-1160
City ~a!l~ A~mheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26~ 197..~~ 1:30 P.M.
facilities themselves; what is proposed is to participate in the capital invest-
ment of these units for one basic reason, this being, that a public entity can
borrow money for capitalization at lower rates than private ownership.
Utilities Director Gordon Hoyt reaffirmed the City Manager's statement
that investment in generated transmission facilities is less expensive for the
City of Anaheim than for a private entity. He stated that the people in the
community, by virtue of being electrical consumers, will pay the bill for these
facilities ultimately, no matter who makes the investment, the City of Anaheim
or Southern California Edison. The important point of this presentation is that
Anaheim can do it much less expensively. Mr. Hoyt referred to his memorandum
dated November 22, 1974, page 4, which indicates how it comes about that the
City's annual cost would be less than it would be for a Private company. The
difference is essentially due to the interest which the City would pay on bonds
sold which would be tax exempt revenue bonds, as opposed to taxable bonds or
preferred or equity stock by a private company. In addition,*the amount of
money to be recovered by a private utility from its customers is regulated by a
commission, whereas the amount to be recovered by Anaheim from its customers
would be in accordance with regulations set forth by the Anaheim City Council.
He cited that according to the best available estimates, the City of Anaheim can
borrow money and own property at an annual interest cost of 8.10%, versus a cost
of 18~% for a private company. On a capital investment of $150,000,000, there-
fore, a private utility such as Southern California Edison, would have to collect
$27,750,000 annually to pay fixed capital investment costs, while the City of
Anahei~ would need to collect from its customers only $12,150,000 each year.
This leaves a difference of $15,600,000 annually, which the citizens of Anaheim
could keep in their pockets.
Mr. Hoyt indicated that the Anaheim electric utility has, in general,
a good reputation. A comparison of maintenance and operation expenses of the
Anaheimutility and Southern California Edison indicates that Anaheim is per-
forming at less cost and that Southern California Edison charges its customers
$23.83 more for comparable services. The comparison further shows that Anaheim
performs the above services with three-quarters the number of employees per
1,000 customers employed by Southern California Edison.
Mr. Hoyt reported that 76% of the monies collected from the Anaheim
Electric Utility rata payers goes to Edison to pay for the bulk power supply.
A survey was conducted of power needs from present to 1990 and costs calculated
on a monthly basis. The conclu~,imo,~f this survey was that from the time that
the first power generation uni~b~e operational and savings begin to accrue,
approximately 1979-80 until 1990, the City of Anaheim would Pay $640,000,000 to
purchase the power supply entirely from Southern California Edison. If instead,
the City of Anaheim participates in some generation and purchases the remainder
of bulk power, the costs would be $470,000,000, or a savings.over this period of
$170,000,000 (26.5%).
Mr. Hoyt indicated the strong support received from the business
community for participation in power generation following their th°ro~$h and
expert review of the proposals, as evidenced~y the resolution presented to.the
Council by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at the meeting of September 24, 1974,
recom~ending participation in power generation provided~that the anticipated
savings are passed along to the rate payers. Mr. Hoyt reported that recommenda-
tion for a bond election in March of 1975 is made due to the fact that the
Council will be required to make decisions to commit the City to participation
in San Onofre, San Joaquin, Kaiparowits and War,er Valley generation projects
during the first six months of 1975, and will need funds authorized by the
electric rate payer to be able to commit to these plans if the feasibility is
established.
Mr. Hoyt concluded that the time has come to place the matter before
the people, giving them the opportunity to express whether or not they are
desirous of saving money for power costs, and woUld recommend that the Council
authorize an election for March of 1975 to seek authorization to issUe $150,000,000
in electric revenue bonds to enable the City to participate in these power
generating projects.
74-1161
City ~1.1~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26~ 1974, i:30. P.M.
During Council discussion which ensued, Mr. Hoyt reported the following:
1. That the exact wording of the ballot question has not yet been
drafted; this would be the responsibility of Bond Counsel.
2. That the $150,000,000 bond issue could be used for participation
in electric generation and transmission projects which are either new or existing;
and if feasibility of these projects is not established, these funds could be
applied to subsequent projects which may be formed.
3. That the $150,000,000 bond issue would enable the City to enter
into and receive requested shares in the San Onofre, San Joaquin, Warner Valley
and Kaiparowits projects, for an approximate total of 210,700 kilowatts of
capacity.
The Intermountain Power Project is not anticipated to require construc-
tion funds from these electric revenue bonds. The current plan calls for the
non-profit Utah Corporation to issue tax exempt revenue bonds and construct that
project on the proceeds of these, the security being the physical plant property
itself, as well as the contracts with the participants to accept and pay for
their share of the output of the project. The cost for Anaheim's share of this
project is estimated at $280,000,000 to $285,000,000 and the assurance that
Anaheim will be able to obtain power more economically from this plant than from
Edison is the fact that the agreement provides that Anaheim will receive 15% of
the output of the plant and in return will pay 15% of the annual capital cost,
plus those portions of the variable operating costs which result from the power
which Anaheim requests. The failure or passage of an electric revenue bond
election would not Jeopardize the Intermountain Power Project, however, Mr. Hoyt
indicated resounding failure of same would prompt him to seek further direction
from Council and re-evaluate the City's participation in same.
4. The breakdown of "Annual Fixed Capital Cost Rate" on page 4 of the
~emorandum shows the variance of 3.3% depreciation for Edison and .90% for
Anaheim, since the private utility is governed by a regulatory coasaission which
will permit them to recover from their customers 3.3% of its rate base (the
money which it has invested in capital); whereas the City of Anaheim needs only
to recover sufficient funds to amortize the debt. At the end of 35 years, the
project would be presumed to have zero value, having fulfilled its expected life
On being informed by Mr. Hoyt that the calculations indicating the
potential savings for the City of Anaheim in the memorandum of November 22,
taking into account the operation of the Inter~ountain Power Project, with
Anaheim receiving as its 15% share a 450,000 kilowatts capacity, Councilman
S~y~our stated that it should be made clear to the electorate that the
$150,000,000 bond issue they are being requested to approve buys only one-third
of the total generation capacity needed to produce the projected total savings
of 26.5%.
Hr. Hoyt concurred with Councilman Seymour's statement and indicated
that by all means the bulk of the power generation would come from the Intermoun-
tain Power Project.
Additional discussion was directed as to the reason Anaheim appears to
he more interested in participating in these power generating projects than
other municipalities, to which Hr. Watts pointed out that other cities such as
Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena already own a substantial portion of their generat-
ing sources, whereas Anaheim is merely entering the field.
Hr. Hoyt pointed out that any one of these projects will either go
forward or fail with absolute disregard as to whether or not the City of Anaheim
participates. If Anaheim does not participate, any municipality or utility
company will quickly take over its shares.
Hr. Hurdoch noted that from 1930 up until very recently, Anaheim did
not have the opportunity to enter into any of these projects because of an
exclusive contract which required all power to be purchased from Southern
California Edison. The City's objectives during negotiations for the past
several years was to attain some flexibility in order to provide power at a
lower cost to the citizens of Anaheim.
74-1162
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26~ 1974, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Hoyt further pointed out that several studies of Anaheim's utility
needs and costs conducted in the past have reached the same conclusions, i.e.,
that the City could generate,power at a lower cost than purchasing it from
Edison.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Hoyt outlined the current status
of studies into the possible applications of solar, wind, tidal, goethermal
power sources. He indicated that with the current proposal the City of Anaheim
would not be independent of Southern California Edison for its power supply and
may consider an additional project in the future.
Councilwoman Kaywood voiced her concern that the consumers and electric
utility not forget, if the generating projects go forward and there is an adequate
supply of power at a lower cost, that the earth's resources are finite and
efforts should be continued to be directed towards conservation and avoiding
waste.
At the conclusion of discussion, City Manager Keith A. Murdoch read
into the record a letter addressed to Mayor Thom from Arthur Young & Company
dated November 26, 1974, rendering an opinion as to the tax exempt status of
interest paid on debt obligations to be issued by.the City of Anaheim to finance
participation in an electric power generation program, as was requested by the
Mayor. (Said letter on file in the office of the City Clerk.)
Councilman Pebley moved that the City Council approve the recommenda-
tion made by the Utilities Director for an electrical revenue bond program to
reduce the cost of electricity for Anaheim consumers and authorize employment of
O'Melveny and Myers as bond counsel for an electric revenu6 bond election.
Prior to voting on the foregoing motion, Mayor Thom offered members of
the business community and the public present in the Council Chamber an opPor-
tunity to comment on this proposal; no further comments were presented.
Councilman Seymour commented that the citizens of Anaheim are being
asked to make a decision regarding investment of $150,000,000 based on the
future possibility of receiving a return through reduced rates for electricity.
While he agreed that there is every possibility this will occur, he stated that
because this is projected so far into the future and because of the uncertainties
inherent in developing these types of generation facilities, he was of the
opinion that the citizens should be offered something more tangible. He suggested
that the City consider the possibility of entering or investing as a Joint
venture partner with Southern California Edison Company or some other producer
of electricity, whereby the City would receive a percentage interest in their
generation facilities both current and future. Pursuant to this agreement, the
parties would pool facilities and the cost for production of electricity could
be averaged, and the City able to purchase power at this cost. In return,
Southern California Edison Company would have the availability of $150,000,000
at a much lower cost than they would otherwise be able to obtain. This type of
agreement would afford the City the advantage of presenting to its citizens a
bond proposition in today's dollars and not projections into 1990. Another
benefit would be that the citizens would begin to realize these benefits im~edi-
ately, rather than in 1979 or 1980.
Mr. Hoyt replied that in the past whenever facilities were purchased
from Southern California Edison they insisted that the City do this by Eminent
Domain proceedings so as to assure their stockholders that they were not dis-
sipating assets. He further reported that the City does intend to enter into
partnership with Southern California Edison on everything they propose to build
in the future, which would be the non-coal burning types of generating plants.
He stated that nothing which is being proposed would preclude investigating
Councilman Seymour's suggestion, and in fact the City has done this in a sense
when it attempted to intervene at relicensing proceedings of hydroelectric power
plants, and could certainly attempt this again.
Mayor Thom stated that his concern is that projections so far into the
future form a rather skimpy basis upon which the voter can make a decision; that
the citizen prefers to deal with what he understands as today's dollars and not
savings in 1990.

City !iall~ Anahe/~a~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 25~ 1974~ I:30 P.M.
Hr. Hoyt emphasized that the difference here is that the individual
elector is asking for the product and, consequently, does not have a choice.
Someone will provide this electric power and the consumer is going to pay for
it.
Mr. Murdoch added that they will pay a minimum of $150,000,000 because
that is the estimated cost of the power. They will pay this either to the City
in the form of bonds or to Southern California Edison.
City Attorney Watts noted that Councilman Seymour's suggestion is an
example of what is perhaps the principal issue in bulk power supply in the
western Onited States, the concept of a power pooling a~ong utilities.
Mr. Watts reported on the recom~endation that O'Melveny & Myers be
employed as bond counsel and in answer to Councilwoman Kaywood's inquiry regard-
ing their fee, s,,m~mrtzed the letter of employment received from this firm as
follows: That the firm of O'Melveny & Myers offers their services for drafting
of all resolutions, notices and other documents required for election and issuance
and sale of bonds; supervision of proceedings and rendition of their opinion
that the bonds would be tax exempt. They quote a fee which is based on the
principal amount of the bonds sold which, if the election were successful and
$150,000,000 worth of bonds ultimately sold, would amount to $90,500. In the
event of failure of the bond election, their fee would be $1,500.
Hr. Watts assured Council that a draft of the ballot proposition
itself would be submitted for their review in sufficient time to make any desired
changes.
The aforementioned motion made by Councilman Pebley was seconded by
Councilman Seymour. MOTION CARRIED.

AUTHORIZATION - EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS - DEL GIORGIO ROAD: City Attorney Alan R.
Watts referred to the previously discussed recommendation that the City Council
authorize condemnation for the purpose of installing a water line along
Del Giorgio Road. He reported that on further inspection it appears Del Giorgio
Road provides the only access to the school under construction on adjacent
property, and, consequently, the School District does not have access to that
property over a public road.
Mr. Murdoch'stated that staff would recommend that the City take the
responsibility for the condemnation to install the water main and for the neces-
sary right-of-way, sharing the costs of same via an agreement to be negotiated
with the School District before filing said Eminent Domain proceedings.
Mr. Gene Tutt, 1400 North Sycamore, Santa Ana, representing the archi-
tect for the School District, related that when his firm originally contacted~
the City as to the status of Del Giorgio Road, upon receiving the commission to
design the Junior high school which is now under construction, they were informed
that the road had been dedicated to a 40-foot width for 1,000 feet. They pro-
ceeded with plans and in accordance with one of the City of Anaheim conditions
of approval for the project planned to design and construct street improvements
and sewer line in Del Giorgio Road, as well as to dedicate an additional 7 feet
on the west side of Del Giorgio Road for an ultimate street width of 54 feet.
In compliance with City conditions, the School District also went on
record that they would not require water service until July 1, 1974. This
project was bid and a contract awarded which included the installation of street
improvements. The contractor was notified that he would have to supply his own
water until July 1, 1974 to which he agreed. Further, coincidental with the
award of contract, Mr. Tutt reported that he was contacted by Mr. Del Giorgio's
Attorney who notified him that Del Giorgio Road was a private drive. Subsequent
to this, he reexamined the map in the City Right-of-Way Division which did
indicate that the road was dedicated; however, on checking with the title company,
it was ascertained that the road does belong to Mr. Del Giorgio. He further
related that he discussed the matter with the McCarthy Company who, up until
recently, had an option on the Del Giorgio property and was agreeable to make
the required dedication for the roadway once they had title to the property.
However since their withdrawal of the zoning petitions and tentative tract map
(See Minutes of Council Meeting held November 19, 1974), this resolution of the
problem is no longer possible. As a result of the delay and due to the fact
that water has not been provided as of JulY 1, 1974 as originally agreed, the
contractor has now submitted requests for extra costs associated with the school
construction.
Mr. Tutt advised that there are no funds available from the School
District for acquisition of right-of-way for this road. He stated that the
scope of the project was actually reduced to bring it within the limits of money
available.

74-1167
City .~11t Anahehut California - COUNCIL M~NUTES - November 26~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M.
He concluded that the School District is willing to be responsible and
had contracted for street improvements on Del Giorgio Road, but vould like'the
City of Anaheim to acquire the necessary right-of-way.
Councilman Sneegas inquired whether Hr. Del Giorgio has been contacted
about sale of this property as this should, in his opinion, be the City's next
step. He stated that he personally would be agreeable to authorizing condemna-
tion proceedings only if Mr. Del Giorgio w~shed these and would prefer to negoti-
ate for the property on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis. He stated
that he would be opposed in principle to the condemnation because he did not
feel the City should force Mr. Del Giorgio into a position of selling.
Councilman Pebley pointed out that if one of the proposed McCarthy
Company projects had been approved, this situation would not have occurred.
Mr. Watts suggested at one point in the conversation that this matter
be continued for one week, to whichMr. Tutt responded that any further delays
may result in the School District incurring substantial damages.
Mr. Hurdoch explained that in these situations it is the usual Pattern
for the City to have the authorization to condemn when they begin negotiations
for purchase since this clears the situation as far as taxes are concerned for
the property o~er.
~SOLUTION NO. 74R-588' Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 74R-588 for
adoption, authorizing commencement of Eminent Domain proceedings to acquire the
necessary right-of-way for Del Giorgio Road.

on the proposed agreement between the City of Anaheim and State of

that this resolution pertains to that portion of the project to be carried out
by the Employment Development Department and indicates they will provide staff
and access to the job bank for current openings on a daily basis. He noted that
there are corrections to the proposed budget to delete $200 for a microfiche
reader and to remove costs for postage and supplies from the Employment Develop-
ment Department. The reader has been obtained at no cost and it is proposed
that the City will provide the space for this Center, as well as postage, sup-
plies, telephone, etc., from the funds received. These corrections amend the
total of the budget to $14,365.

SOCIAL SERVICES CENTER PROGRAM: The concept of a Social Services Center with the
objective of providing local citizens with a vehicle capable of coordinating
existing social services with the unmet needs of the community, prepared by
Joe Garza, Community Relations Representative, was submitted for Council con-
sideration.
Mr. Garza was present and offered to answer Council questions.
Councilman Seymour requested information regarding the financing of
the facility, to which Mr. Murdoch explained that the total proposed budget is
$31,300. If the City goes forward with the Job Development and Recruitment
Center as outlined above, which would be located within this proposed center,
approximately one-half of the cost of rental of the facility would come from
that program. The paid manpower included ($18,300) would come from C.E.T.A.
Funds, but it is es£imated that an additional $4,000 could be supplied by C.E.T.A.
for expenses such as partitioning of offices, telephone and utilities. In
addition, Mr. Murdoch suggested that the City apply for funds from County Revenue
Sharing for this project, and if successful, this should make up all or nearly
all of the remainder of the proposed budget. Once the City has received approval
of the Community Development Act plan, some of these funds might also be applied.
Councilman Seymour stated that he felt' the program as outlined is an
outstanding example of.creativity, providing services to meet serious citizen
needs and, at the same time, the financing of same is not directly attached to
normal City revenues. He commended both Mr. Garza and Mr. Murdoch for a fine
job and remarked that he would like to see more such programs.
Councilman Seymour moved that the City Council authorize and instruct
staff to proceed with funding applications to implement the~Social Services Cen-
ter Program as outlined and presented in the report prepared by Mr. Joe Garza,
dated November 18, 1974 (on file in the office of the City Clerk). Councilwomen
Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Murdoch stated that there are
several possible locations for the Center in the downtown area of Anaheim, where
74-1169
City ~11~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M.
it is felt important that this Center be located. There are vacant buildings
which may be leased and also a City-owned building currently under lease ~0 a
tenant who is in arrears.
By general consent, in reply to Mr. Nurdoch, the City Council indica-
ted they would be in favor of this Center opening as early as possible.

SANTA BARBARA NEWSPAPER VENDING MACHINE DESIGN AND REGULATIONS: Mr. Murdoch reported
that in accordance with the request made by Councilwoman Kaywood, staff has
contacted the City of Santa Barbara and has learned that they require newspaper
vending machines, which are supplied by the newspaper companies, to be placed on
structures constructed by the City in the downtown plaza area as a part of the
redevelopment activity. It is, therefore, suggested that this matter be dis-
cussed with the Redevelopment Department. He further reported that photos of
the structures, as well as plans and specifications have been requested.
FINANCIAL STATUS OF THB CITY: Mr. Nurdoch s,,-~rized that last week the Finance
Director reported on the financial situation as it pertains to Phase I, Civic
Center construction and also reported that as far as total revenues and expendi-
tures are concerned, up to this point, the City is in a reasonably good position
for the current Fiscal Year. There is a lag in the amount estimated from pro-
posed water and electric rate increases, which were not approved, but there are
some contingencies which could make up a portion of this differential in electric
rates if the situation on fuel cost increases becomes worse than has been experi-
enced, these being: anticipated refund of possessory interest taxl accumulated
excess in Series "A" bond revenues in the amount of $930,000, which would be
sufficient to defer payment on these for one year. In addition, Hr. Hurdoch
reco~ended that the Council consider and discuss with the Redevelopment Commis-
sion the sale to them of the various parcels accumulated for parking lots and
other purposes in the downtown area which are within Project Alpha boundaries
and which the City has been holding pending redevelopment activity. A very
rough estimate of the potential value of these properties is $1,000,000, accord-
ins to the City Riiht-of-Hay Division.
Because of these outlined contingencies, Hr. Hurdoch stated that it is
suggested that the Council defer any decision regarding an increase in water or
electric rates to January 1, 1975. It is not necessary that the rate increases
be implemented at this point to meet the City's obligations since these back-up
funds are available. In addition he advised that he is analyzing the major pur-
chases within the Budget, both capital outlays and improvmments, with Department
Reads, and some further recommendations will be presented to Council.
Councilman Seymour stated that while he is eager to push forward with
Phase I constructionof the Civic Center, he would be, on the otherhand, reluc-
tant to take this step if it meant that 45 days or so later, the City might be
faced with inevitably increasing the electric and water rates. He stated
that he would, therefore, like to have, to the greatest degree possible, assurance
that this rate increase will not be necessary for the remainder of the current
Fiscal Year. He indicated that he did not wish to be placed in the position of
having to increase these rates.
74-1170
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26~ 1974~.1:30 P.M.
On being informed by Mr. Murdoch that any decision on a parking struc-
ture at the Convention Center would have no effect at all on the funds under
discussion, Councilman Seymour stated that the only further assurance he would
require would be as accurate a projection as possible from the Utilities Director,
regarding his ability to return to the General Fund the amount which has been
budgeted as expected revenues from the utility.
Mr. Murdoch pointed out that if all of the future fuel cost adjust-
ments occur at the level forecast by Southern California Edison, the City would
not have sufficient funds to transfer to the General Fund as budgeted. There
is, however, no way of knowing how accurate the Edison forecasts are, and the
City cannot use anything other than these Edison projections since these are all
there is to go on month by month.
Councilman Seymour emphasized that the 1.6 million dollars which was
the deficit forecast on August 27, 1974 when the rate increases were deferred
has increased to 3.2 million dollars by November 1974, to which Mr. Murdoch
responded that this is true only if the extreme situation forecast bY Edlson
does, in fact, occur. The City's experience has been that these estimates were
pessimistic.
Councilman Seymour stated that a doubling of the projection in three
months indicates that the projections are inaccurate or the situation extremely
volatile, to which Mr. Murdoch remarked that with a total item as high as
$36,000,000, it does not take much of a percentage deviation to create a million
dollar difference.
During further discussion, both Councilman Seymour and Mayor Thom
indicated that they felt it imperative to the success of the electric revenue
bond issue that current electric rates be held. They noted that Anaheim's
residential rate is currently 9% below Southern California Edison.
Mr. Murdoch pointed out that he felt it important during this interim
period to January 1, 1975, that the Council discuss their various priorities.
He noted that an opportunity will be afforded at the forthcoming seminar with
Department Heads. Areas which are planned for discussion include possible
reductions in service levels; possible slow down in time tables.
Councilman Seymour suggested also that alternative financing methods
be discussed at this time.
Councilwoman Kaywood wished to make it very clear that she would be
upset with increases in electric and water rates because these affect those
people on low and fixed incomes so badly, but she would not favor allowing the
electric rate situation to reach the point where funds are coming from the
General Fund to support the electric utility, rather than the opposite. She
stated that if it becomes essential, she would not think it unreasonable to
raise the rates somewhat.
Mr. Murdoch assured Councilwoman Kaywood that even with the worst pic-
ture they get from Edison, the City would not be in this danger during the cur-
rent Fiscal Year. He indicated that there is no intention of supporting the
electric utility from the General Fund.
Councilman Seymour indicated that he felt the Council should pursue
the alternative of sale of those City-owned parcels in the downtown area to the
Redevelopment Agency, and Mr. Murdoch stated this would be discussed with the
Commission.
Mr. Murdoch reviewed with Council a comparison prepared of revenues
received during Fiscal Years 1973-74 and 1974-75 and pointed out that sales
taxes are on target with last year because no increase was estimated, and this
indicates that sales are down. All of those revenues which are closely aligned
to development are substantially under what has been estimated. An overall
analysis shows that the City appears to be Just a little under 1/3 of the Budget
estimates.

City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 26.~ 1974t 1:30. P.M.
Mr. Murdoch further noted that a tabulation has also been prepared of
the unfilled budgeted positions and those terminations which have occurred' in
the interim, which will be reviewed with Department Heads.
At the conclusion of discussion, by general consent, the Council indi-
cated agreement with deferral of decision on electric and water rate increases
and Phase I, Civic Center construction to January 1, 1975.
