Another point'of interest relative to tax increment flow according
~o lit. Ringer is that any private develoPment which the Redevelopment Commission
promotes in the Project Alpha area would p~ovide additional tax flow dollars
and bonding capability.
The Finance Director reported that a meeting has been held with the
Placentia School District and that they are now satisfied that their tax dollars
'will not be reduced, but will be 'made up from State apportionments to the School
Districts.
Mr. Ringer next addressed himself to the subject of the City Hall
financing concept. He advised that the'city has currently budgeted $1,680,500.00
in the 1974-75 Budget for the first phase of construction. He no,ed, however,
that .it is Staff's opinion that long-term financing is needed in Order to com-
plete the entire project at the least possible cost because of the inflationary
effects on the cost of construction.
Mr. Rinser then displayed the following transparencies for the Council's
and Comission's information:
Schedule No. 2 - Preliminary Budget for City Hall.
Schedule No. 3 - Tentative Budget for City ttall which totals
$15,000,000.00
Chart 4 - ExampLe of a possible Joiht Powers partnership arrangement,
on an Unequal'basis. ~
Mr. Ringer expl~ined that it would be his recon~nendation that a sum
such as $1,100,000 be paid by the City as a lease payment for the use of City Hall,
and any contribution that the Redevelopment Agency would make would be in the
nature of a small rent for'any quarters which they might share in City Hall.
This technique would be similar to that used for the Anaheim Convention Center
· where the School District pays a much sm~l'ler portion of the cost than the City.
~in~l Staff reco~endatiOn: That the City Council, Redevelopment
Comat~sion and Redevelopm~ntAgemiy agree that the City should move forward on
Joint financing and acquisition of the two-block area for bo.Ch construction of
the City Hall and Redevelopment; fUndtn~ to ~be provided for~'land acquisition
and relocation costs from redevelOpment funds, with the exception of the prop-
erty currently owned by the City of Anaheim in the two-block area.
(A chart was 'shown and Hr. Nurdoch explained whiCh of the parcels
within the two-block area are currently owned by the City,)
The Mayor called for questions and discussion.
Co~nissioner Morris asked for the square-footage t°tal o£ p~operty
within the two-block area which is currently owned by the City and a comparison
betw~n that which is presently owned and what will be used for the City Hall.
Mr. Randy Bosch advised that the two-block area under consideration
from the center line right-of-way on all four sides consists of 11.59 acres of
land, withinwhich the City currently OWns 3.19 acres, tn additton~to the street
and 81iey rights-of-Way. The total area required for the City Hall is projected
on the model to be 5,7 acres.
'Mr. Bosch Outlined briefly the components of the City. Hall project,
namely, a 600 vehicle capacity parking struCture, the tower building itself and
the public plaza area.
In response to"C~iasfonerNcDaniel's statement thaC the City is
lookin~ for the ability to Purahase l~nd through t~x increment funding, Mr.
liqer replied affirmatively, and added that since theRedevelopment'Agency
needs a firm loan commitment in order to receive the first $800,000, it is
bein~ reco~aended that the Co~eission consider use.of these funds for purchase
of l~nd in the t~eo-block area. He explained that this would not affect the
~edevelopment i~ency's $11,000,000 bonding capabil~ty.. If the Co~nission and
~ency do decide to proceed on this basis, it will still be necessary that the
purpose for which these monies will be use~ be defined.

the time of the' sale of the bonds, would 'be considered .an advance which would
then be returned to~ the City. He further ~oted that the Cost-qf Phase I has
been included in the Proposed L974-75 Budget and that will proceed, irrespec-
tive of the outcome of the revenue 'bonds upon whichPhase I! construction
would be dePendent. Further, if th~ revenue bonds as proposed are enacted and
sold instead of construction in separate phases, the entire project will be
completed as one unit.
Further explanation was given by the Assistant City Manager as to
the background of the decision to proceed in, two phases and the projections
for l~ase II'which had to be completed by the Architects so that the entire
project could be visualized.
Hr. Fairdoch then explained, that the first phase of construction
would require removal of the Willdan building and the annex .to the former
Bank of America buildin~ as well as the blocking off of the northern portion
of Cl.au. dina Street .between the two, City-ownsd properties-. A plot plan was
used to demonstrate the placement of the proposed Civic Center Project structures
superimposed over the existing buildings, street,s and alleys.
III. '~TEllE OF IliT~REST IN TWO-BLOCK CIVIC CE~'PROJECT- COM)ITNITYREDEVELOPMENT
~: The City Manager pointed out that to date the Community Redevelop-
merit Commission has not really identified the extent of their interest in the
two-'block area surrounding the proposed Civic Center. He noted that the
rationale in concentrating on this two-block area is that this would prove to
be a ~ubstanttal initial step in redevelopment of the downtown portion which
~ould act as a Catalyst. If this assumption is correct, then redevelopment of
this two-block area~ould be a. very important and logical first step which
should be undertaken immediately. He remarked that the two-block area should
not be considered as separate and the City.Hall project as another se~nent, but
rather., planning and fipancing should, be set up for that area. as a Redevelop-
ment Pro~ect. He noted that although the idea has been discussed by the
Commission it has not been either accepted, denied-or modified by them up to
this point. ~'~
Hr. Rowland added that the concept of development in the two-block
are~With potential use of the corner segments for other office space, was
proposed by the Joint'venture architects With recommendations and suggestions
from the Citizens Task. Force, and has been adopted as a Master Plan by the
Redevelopment Coumission. He noted however that this is Just a working concept.
Couenissioner Morris stated that the Commission has voiced their
impression that the entire tvs-bi°ok concept does not conflict with Project
Alpha activities as currently visualized.
}it. Nurdoch sUmmariZed thatit is now neceasary'that the Redevelop-
merit Co~ission establish the..folloving:
1, Are they'ready to proceed on the concept of development of the
t~o-block area in conjunction v iCh the Civic Center?
2. Are they 'ready to recommend that the Redevelopment Agency
~ombine with the City Council tn a Joint venture to issue revenue bonds for
eonst~c~ion of the ~acility, an~ acquisition of ~he re~inin~.proper~ies as
3. ~ they feel tha~ this is a viable project as Part sE the
redevelo~nt activity?
~issioner ~riS, C~ir~ si ~he Redevelo~ent Co~ission,
~dicated that it is his personal ~ini~ that the Red,silent Co~ission
shoulg not be i~olved as ~ar as c~ni~ ~ede~el~ent funds are concerned,
Mr. M~rdoch pointed out that evidently Commissioner Morris has the
wong impression, that if the t~°'block project is undertaken, those portions
of the to,al 'prOject financing which are redevelOpment would be the Agency's
~pecific resPonSibility, but that t~uld not includ~ the responsibility for the
City Rail construction'itself. The only exception might be if the Agency
elects to occupy some space in that proposed ~ity Hallbutlding, in which
case there might be a rental arrangement.

Co~issioner Leo interjected that he also would not favor either the
funds or projects intermingled.
Commissioner Morris summarized the response of the Commission as
being then, that if the financing for the two-block area redevelopment and
City Hall construction can be accomplished separately, the Commisiion is
ready to proceed.
Counissione~ Horrig further inqu{red if the financing of these bonds
under discuSsion~Ould create the obligation vhich the Agency must have prior
to August 1, 197~., in order to receive the tax flow funds, to ~hich }ir. Ringer
replied that it vould take considerably longer period -- up to one year, to
prepare and sell the bonds, and therefore a short-term loan wOuld be necessary
to meet the 'August l'st deadline.
The Mayor then noted that conceptually, the viability of the project
is acceptable to the Couaission,and there was no dissent to his statement°
He asked for so~e coa~ents from the City Council.
Councilman Seymour stated that if, in fac~ the ~o~missiou is in favor
of proceeding, he vould ask for a resolution to that effect. He further in-
quireg ii there were any figures as to ~/{at portion of the estimated $15,000,000
City Hall construction budget vould be al10cated for development of the open
'space, area.
lit. Bosch explained that construction costs for the Plaza and site
preparation for same are estimated at $496,000, not inchding land acquisition,
and this figure includes the areas behind the building as well.
Hr. Rowland stated that the Joint venture Architects' analysis indi-
cates the City Hall, includinS the parking structure, requires 5.7 acres,
leaving 5.9 acres for the Redevelopment Project, making a total project area
of 11.6 acres. He added that it has been the Architect's concept that the
parkia~ provided with this ~o-block area will support between 250,000 and
300,000 square feet of productivity, of Vhich the City Hall per se, will take
approximately one third. Therefore, two thirds of the plaza area has been
designed to augment the remaining two thirds of the project ~hich will be
privately'developed. There~ill be separate vehicular and pedestrian access
~nd there is access to the'plaza from all sides. ~
Commissioner McDaniel stated that while he remains adamant regarding
any intermingling in costs of construction with Redevelopment funds, he felt
that cOStS for the plaza and green areas might possibly be shared on a propor-
tioned formula based on occupancy of the project.
Hr'. F~rdoch stated'that he felt it not necessary at this point to
identify specific amounts in either figures or percentages, but'if the City
Council and Redevelopment Commission are in agreement with the concept of
PartiCipation on the plaza and possibly the utilities for the two-block area,
a~ Well as rental of used space, to be the extent of participation by'the
Redevelopment Agency, this is sufficient. He recognized that t'here would be
a further obligation before specific numbers are proposed to identify the
areas of-responsibility 'for each e~tity.
The'Mayor concluded that ~he objective of this work session was to
define-the in~erist between the City-Council, Redevelopment Commission, and
Task For~e towards the concept..o£a Joint Powers Asreement to finance the two-
block project and this, he felt, had been accomplished, interest having been
demonstrated to sufficient desree for Staff to pursue this matter to a further
and more specific point.
Hr. Murdoch clarified that the concept wh'ich 'will be pursued will be
to proceed with a t~o-bl°Ck area project which.may be split into two or more
parts.
CounciIm~n Seymour co~ented that ~d~ile he is firmly convinced that
Joint Powers Financin~ is the vehicle to implement this project, he is not

PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 2595: Submitted by Collins Limited Partnership to Permit
on-sale beer and wine in conJuction with food sales on M-1 zoned property located
at the southeast corner of Broadway and the Southern Pacific Railroad Right of
Way on the south side of Broadway, west of Hessel Street, with waiver of:
, a. Permitted uses.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to their Resolution No. PC74-93,
denied Variance No. 2595, and determined that the proposed activity falls within
the definition of Section 3.01, Class 3 of the City of Anaheim Guidelines to the
Requirmaents for an Environmental Impact Report and is, therefore, categorically
ex~pt from the requre~ent to file am E.I.R.
APpeal from action taken by the City Plannin~ Commission was filed by
the petition~r and public hearing'before the City CounCil scheduled this date.
The City Clerk reported that Mr, Collins, the Applicant, had telephoned
to say he was out of the City but wouldreturn later this afternoon, and he
requested public hearing be deferred until a later date.
Since no one interested in the issue was present, the City Council agreed
to delay the hearing.
Later in the meeting Mr. Collins arrived and the public hearing was
declarmt open.
The City Clerk read letter dated June 4, 1974, received at open meeting

City Hall~ Anaheim., .Californ/a COUNCIL HINUTES June 4i 197~!,._~:30 P.H..
The Mayor asked if the Applicant wished to eddree] the City Council.
Mr. David Collins, 1077 West Ball Road, advised that one of his
lessees has applied to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Beard for on-eels beer
and wine license for his sandwich shop, which he contends will bt an operation
similar to that of 'The Pumpernickel" located in Fullerton; that these bever-
ages would be served together with food only, and to a mint2~al nmnber of
people 436 seats). He further advised that the rear parking area has been
graded and will be paved this week, and that they had been working with the
City Fire and Electric personnel to insure prevention of any fire hasards on
the premises. He stressed that it vas their desire to uaintain the pleasant
atmosphere of Peppertree Faire.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council
in favor of the request, there being no response, asked if anyone had opposition
to express.
Mr. Alvin H. Rohrs, o~ner and operator of A1 Rohrs and Sons, the
petroleum distributorship adjacent to subject property on the south, requested
denial of subject application on the basis chat it would create a defrosts!
environment for all businesses in the small area, as Well as for the women
who lease space in the building to market their hand-crafted art objects and
related merchandise. He comended Hr. Collins for improving the appearance
of the premises and conducting a clean operation, but he noted that the
building is between 85 to 100 years old and, in his opinion, is a fire trap;
and he expressed serious concern about the possibility of fire in this location,
considering the petroleum facilities nearby.
Mayor Thom asked if anyone else had opposition to present, their
being no response, gave the applicant an opportunity for rebuttal,
Mr. Collins expressed the opinion that ~Odern Society is ableto
manage the use of beer and'wine in the manner proposed, and the proposed use
would not result in any increase to fire hazard.
Mayor Thom declared the hearing closed,

City Hall, Anah~.im~ California -COUNCIL MINUTES - June 4~ 1974.' 1:30 P.M.
In reply to Councilman Pebley's question as to what control there would
be over someone walking out the door with a drink in his hand, Hr. Collins stated
that every effort WOuld be made to prevent people from taking beverages out of
the sandwich Shop, and he was of the opinion that this was a problem in any
restaurant, which had to be controlled by the operator or he would lose his
license. If it did happen, the operator would refuse to serve that party again,
which should resolve the problem.
Councilman Sneegas expressed concern that the Council was being asked
to all°~ a restaurant containing less than 1/10 of the total floor space, when
previously theentire operation at Peppertree Faire had been considered as a
single business for licensing purposes, due to the transient factor involved in
this type of operation, and due to the physical size and volume of business of
the exhibitors; that if the Council approves subject variance, it will be con-
trary to the past policies of granting on-sale beer and wine licenses only to
operations in which the food preparation area constitutes a minimum of 25% of
the entire operation.
Hr. Collins replied that they were applying for the license only in
terms of the space occupied by the food operation, not for the total premises.
Further, he remarked that the whole operation was not clarified as one business;
that when the request for business license clarification came before the Council
(November 3, 1974), the result was to instruct the City Attorney and License
Collector to explore the possibilities of a more favorable solution to the licens-
ing of small individual operations under one roof.
CouncilmanSeymour stated he did not see that there were any nearby
uses in existance whichwould conflict with the proposed operation, and steps
could be taken to insure that the business would not turn into a '%esr hall"; that
the sandwich shop was one of several operations in a unique type of shopping
experience. In his opinion, however, each vendor constitutes an individual oper-
ation and should be licensed as such, and he thereupon added that stipulation as
a condition to his resolution previously offered.
Further discussion was held, and Mr. Collins stated he would stipulate
to the fact thatthe boundaries of the proposed operation were the same on both
the variance application and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board application for
license, and that the sale and c~tion of the beer and wine would be confined
to those premises described. As to individual licensing, Hr. Collins referred

for 1.6 parking spaces for one bedroo~units or less, and 1.9 parking spaces
for two bedroom units and above; that the development in question would require
a total of approximately 106 spaces under the new ordinance, while the plans
show 96, or3 more than would be required by the existing Code.
In ans~er'to Councilwoman Kaywood's question as to whether subject
reclassification could be subjected to the new parking ordinance, City Attorney
Alan Watts advised that the public hearing could be continued pending adoption
of the ordinance'.
ENVIRO~IENTAL IMPACT NEGATIVE DECLARATION - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 73-74-33: On
motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council
findsthat subject reclassification will have no significant effect on the
environment and is exempt from the require~ent to prepare an environmental
impact report. MOTION CARRIED.
Hayor Thom asked if the Applicant or his representative wished to
address the City Council.
Mr. Ed Moore, of Larmor Development Company, Agent for the Petitioner,
stated he was satisfied with the reco~mendations made by the City Planning
Commission in granting subject reclassification, inasmuch as the architect had
worked very closely with Development Services Department staff.
Mayor Thom asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council in
favor or in opposition, there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Pebley pointed out that plans for the proposed development
had commenced in January of this year, the Applicants have met all provisions
of the existing R-3 Zone, and he felt it would be unfair to now require a revi-
sion'of plans to conform to a proposed new ordinance before it is adopted.
Councilman Seymour asked how the' new ordinance requirements would
effect the number of units in the proposed development.
Mr. Roberts noted it would be a matter of desi/n, perhaps the loss
would be between five and eight units.
CoUncilman Seymour stated that although he agreed with Councilwoman
Kay,sod regarding the parking problems that exist, in his opinion, the more
important issue was that 36 units to the acre was far too dense; perhaps a more
realistic figure would be somewhere between 25 and 30 units to the acre.
However, the City'has existing standards, and it is unfair to require any
proposed changes in said standards to be accomplished project by project. A
moratorium could be set which would apply to all projects, however he felt such
a measure would be too extreme.
Councilman Thom agreed with Councilman Seymour, and pointed out that
Councilwo~mn Kaywood had an excellent point, but in his opinion the only way to
relieve th~ parking situ~tion would be to ,revise the standards for the zone.
RESOLUTION NO. 74R-251: Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No..74R-251 for
adoption, authorizing preparation of the necessary ordinance, changing the zone
as request, subject to the recommendations of the City Plannin~ Co~mission.

PROPOSF..DAI~i~HIlNI TO THE R-3 Z~NE: Additional discuesion~ms held with reference
to densities in the R-3 Zone, and Council~an Seymour ~mS of the opinion that
the allowable density was too high, and the proposed alWndments to the parking
ordinance would not sufficiently decrease the densities. He suggested that
the City Planning Commission consider amending the R-3 Zone,
Councilman Pebley requested a comparison between the City R-3
parking requirements and those of other cities and the Co~nty.
Hr. Roberts made reference to a survey e~de in eo~nection with the
proposed amendment to the parking ordinance, and existing Anaheim parking
regulations were slightly below many of the other citieS.
Hr. Hurdoch pointed out two factors which must be considered in
connection with the utilization of parking requirements as a move toward
density reduction: (1.) The Environmental ProtectionA~ency regulations,
and (2.) the recently enacted State of California Energy Statute which sets
up an energy commission having significant powers in the land use field,
revolving around energy use.
Mr. Thompson reported on analysis made by the. s~aff of apartment
construction since the adoption of the present R-2 and R-3 Zones, and advised
that most R-3 projects contain an average of 21 or 22 units per acre, while
R-2 projects ran in the vicinity of 12 to 16. He explained the factors and
techniques of design which can allow slightly higher densities. He cautioned
that if an amendment to the R-3 zoning ordinance was accomplished and the
density figure was too low, the result could be a flood of variance requests.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that she was concerned not only
with the density factor, but with parking Problems in the multiple-family
residential areas as well.
Councilman Seymour expressed the opinion that if the typical R-3
development runs 20 to 25 units to the acre, then there should be no problem
with establishing an overall maximum density of 25 to $0. He thereupon moved
that the City Planning Commission consider a chan~e in the density of the R-3
Zone to the area of 25 to 30 units per acre. Coumcilw~an ~aywood seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIgD.

Communication in opposition from Mrs. Ray Anderson, 931 sOuth Verona
Street, notins the existin~ vehicle and pedestrian traffic consestion at subject
intersection and the lack of sidewalks on.the north side of Bail Road, was sub-
mitted.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject
property and the existing uses and zonin~ in the t-~diate area, summarizing
the evidence sub~itted to and considered bY the City ilannins Co~ission. He
called attention to the previously approved zoning action for subject property,
R~classification No. 67-68-88 and Variance No. 1985 for a C-1 shopping center
at the southwest corner of Ball Road and lispolia Avenue, which had never been
developed, and advised the City Pl~nnin$ Co~sission recommended termination of
said zoning actions.
Mr. Roberts reviewed the three requested waivers as follows: waiver
"a" - bachelor type units containin~ 489-square feet each, the amount not to
exceed 25% of the total 108 units (29.8 to the acre density). Waiver '%" -
although property immediately to the south is Anaheim R-A, City of Stanton sin$1e-
family residential Property is located 82 feet to the south of subject property,
and inasmuch as that city has only a 50-foot.separation requirement between two-
story apartments and R-l, the developer is requesting permission to build in
accordance with the Stanton height standards. Waiver "c" - in some instances
the developer would use roofed, open carports in order to allow attractive land-
scaped areas within the project to be viewed from the driveways.

Councilwoman Kaywood expressed concern about protective measures at
the City substation adjoining subject property on the east, and ~r. Roberts
reported that representatives of the Electric Division had attended the Inter-
departmental Comittee meeting and voiced no objections to the proposed develop-
ment.
Hr. Watts reported on protective f~ncin~ ~ploy~d at the substation.
Mayor Thom asked if the Applicant Or his Agent wished to address the
City Council.
Mr. Dared Smith, 2043 Westcliff, Newport Beach, architect for the
project, advised that the proposed aduit develop~mnt would house fewer people
since the units are primarily one bedroom, with some bachelor units, and only
a few t~o bedroom units, and an excess of 16I over the minimum requirements for
open parking. He noted that the requested open carports would not face the
surrounding areas, but would be contained within the project; as for the dis-
tance from adjoining R-A, he noted that other developments in the area have
existing two-story R-3 adjacent to R-A.
Mr. Smith displayed a rendering in color illustrating the front eleva-
tion of the proposed apartments, and was of the opinion that people vi11 use the
most convenient parking areas, therefore they planned to buffer the front por-
tion of the property along Bail Road with parking facilities.
In response to questions by the City Council, Mr. Smith reported that
only two apartment buildings would be located adjacent to Magnolia Avenue, and
the parking has been designed so as to be closer to the dwelling units than if
they parked on the street, and access to the property would be through the park-
ing areas.
The ~ayor asked if anyone else wished to address the City Council,
for or against the proposed development, there being no response, declared the
hearing closed.

,ORA~E COUNT~. TRANSIT DISTRICT PIt~S~ITATION: Hr. Ralph Clark, Chairman of the Orange
County Board of Supervisors and Chairman of the Orange County Transit District,
report.ed that the Master Plan for Oranse County has been approved by the OCTD
Board, consisting of a network for future rapid transit, and including corridors
serving the City of Anaheim and its recreatiom~l areas. He introduced Mr. Jim
Reichart, Planning Director of the Transit District.
Mr. Reichart displayed slide photographs illustrating his remarks, and
briefed the progress of the District .to the present time. Lookin$ toward the
future, he pointed out that cities will feel the impact as transit corridors are
established, and should include the concept in their future planning.

City Ha~l~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 4t 1974~ 1:30 P.M.
He submitted and sl,.--~rized a six page report entitled, "Orange
County Transit District Sum~ryHaster Plan", dated May 28, 1974 (copies
furnished each Council Member).
In response to questions of the Council, Mr. Reickart advised that
the District has been pleased with the emount of people using the approximately
100 buses currently operating, and is confident that the patronage will
increase; that the first phase of the rapid transit operation will use one of
the corridors where public transportation demand is highest. Further, that
detailed projected operating costs are available for review, and he noted
that legislation is currently being introduced in Sacramento to give the
District Board the authority to place on the November Election ballot the
proposed 1% sales tax increase for Orange County Cities only, which would
provide additional funds for expediting the Transit District operations.
Mr. Reickart advised the District has Just completed the first
phase of the' Corridor Study and submitted a draft of said final study, request-
ing Council comments and recommendations upon review by staff (copy not filed
with the City Clerk).
Mr. Murdoch expressed concern that the "Anaheim Corridor", adopted
by the Board as part of the Master Plan, would not meet all of the City's
transportation requirements, especially in the North-South direction.
Mr. Reickart replied that at the present time it is felt that a
combination of fixed buses, perhaps supplemented by a Dial-A-Ride operation,
together with some type of grade-separated right-of-way system, should satisfy
the demand; however they did intend to-work with representatives of the City
to develop the best methods of providing necessary transportation.
In response to further questions of the Council, Mr. Reickart and
Supervisor Clark advised it is part of the Transit District's function to
help solve transportation problems, therefore, possibly they could work
together financially with the City to develop a unique type of shuttle system
to move local residents and tourists from the rapid transit line and attraction
areas into the downtown area; that this might be a good alternative demonstra-
tion system with participating funds from the Federal or State level to
augment the available funds of the Transit District and the City.
Hr. Joseph A. Wade, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce,
addressed the Council advising that the Chamber of Commerce was not satisfied
with the T2-E Route adopted by the District; that a rapid transit system tying
in with the Los Angeles and San Diego systems would undoubtedly bring more
people into the Anaheim area than to any other in the County because of the
amusement facilities here, and the Chamber feels there should be a direct on-
route access line that would run all the way through Orange County, traveling
through Anaheim, Santa Ana, and proceeding south.
Hr. Wade further advised that the Chamber felt the 1% increase in
sales tax would not be voted in unless there was a definite plan placed before
the people as to h6w the money would be spent, how it would be pro-rated over a
certain period of time, how it is to be utilized, and many other pertinent
factors. He noted that most people recognize the need for public transportation,
however, the Chamber feels the entire concept of rapid transit warrants close
examination before proceeding, and there should be a meeting of minds between
the City and the Chamber of Commerce.
In response to question by the Council, Supervisor Clark r~tdrned to
the stand and reported that Orange County Supervisor Diedrich had indicated
that if there was a definite commitment of a certain amount of that iI sales
tax which would be devoted to each of the 26 individual cities based upon
population or some other factor, that might be a selling point for the passage
of the tax increase.
Supervisor Clark was of the opinion a negative attitude was present,
and rather than opposing the ~ethods of transportation that have been studied
and put forward, the cooperative area of Anaheim should ceme to the foreground.
He felt that the City was being wall-served by the proposed Anaheim line off
74-568
City Ha11~ .Anaheim~ C~lifornia - COUNCIL HINUTES - June. 4, 1974~ 1:30 P.H.
the main corridor of the San Diego/Los Angeles line. He expressed appreciation
for the input of the Chamber of Commerce, and called upon the Chamber and the
City to work together in a positive and constructive manner for the transportation
progress of the City and the County.
Councilwoman Kaywood called attention to the problems of air pollution,
due mostly to traffic congestion, and was of the opinion that public transporta-
tion would offer some relief from congestion.
RECESS: Councilman Seymour moved for a five-minute recess. Councilman Thom seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (4:00 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS} Mayor Thom called the meeting to order, all members of the City Council
being present. (4:05 P.M.)
PUBLIC HEARLNG - PROPOSED BUDGET, 1974-75: In accordance with legal notice duly
published in the Anaheim Bulletin May 23, 1974, public hearing was held to
consider the Budget proposed for the 1974-75 Fiscal Year, pursuant to Section
1202 of the Anaheim City Charter.
The City Manager briefed the contents of his Budget message to the
City Council and the citizens of Anaheim, as follow:
"ANNUAL BUDGET
May 30, 1974
TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITIZENS OF ANA~.IM:
The operation of the City of Anaheim has groom in magnitude and com-
plexity. The proposed budget of $88,186,045 for fiscal year 1974-75 amplifies
that masnitude. The detailed budget outlines the program of operation for the
year and covers the extensive variety of functions and activities provided for
the citizens, business, and visitors.
The proposal appears larger than would normally be expected because
of two unusual items. The larger of these it-ms is the purchase of electricity
for resale to customers. During the past year the City completed the purchase
of electrical facilities previously served by the Southern California Edison
Company from funds authorized in the January 18, 1972 revenue bond election,
and obtained through a sale of bonds at a very favorable 4.9263 percent interest!
This purchase increased the electrical system by about 30 percent (15,000 customers)
with a consequent estimated demand increase of 34 percent even after taking into
account the effects of energy-saving efforts also implemented this past year.
In addition, the Federal Power Commission (FPC) authorized a series of wholesale
rate increases estimated at over 150 percent. These two actions, coupled with the
more normal growth of the City, requires an increase in wholesale power purchase
of $23,400,000.
As many of the citizens ~ell know, however, this kind of increase pur-
chase results in an even greater increase in revenue to the electrical system,
some of which is used to help defray ~eneral Fund expenditures. Specifically the
transfer to General Fund should be $4,658,000 next year, or more than the entire
net cost of Parks and Recreation including Coif COurses and Cultural Arts, and
Libraries, or more than the entire Fire Department budget.
The second major item of increase is for construction of Phase I of
the Civic Center. For this purpose $1,680,500 has been budgeted for the
co~ing.fiscal year. A small amount wi!l-be needed the following year. This
building will provide badly needed space for Engineering and Development Services
functions. This viii provide muchmore convenient service to the public in one
location." (He advised that inasmuch aS there have been some recommended changes
made in the revenue sharing budget, the amount indicated is proposed to be shown
in two fiscal years~ 1973-74 and 1974-75,)
"Other substantial increases and their significance follow:

CONVENTION CENTER
The first amortization payment for the $8,000,000 addition to the
Convention Center is due this coming year. This amounts to $720,000. However,
it must be noted that the amortization of the complete Convention Center to-
sether with the City's portionof convention sales promotion handled by the
Visitor and Convention Bureau are completely paid for by Room Occupancy fees
paid by visitors to Anaheim and the parking and user fees paid for the use of
the Center, hence none of the cost of the Center is borne by Anaheim taxpayers
not using the Center. (Actually we anticipate a flow to other General Fund
services from the Center operation of about $100,000.)
Meanwhile the Center's operation for calendar year 1974 is estimated
to bring about $60,000,000 into the community from conventions alone, to say
nOthing of the many banquets, concerts, sports activities and community
events which provide enjoyment to the people of Anaheim and nearby communities.
SALARY ADJUSTMENTS
Spread throughout the budget is an amount of approximately $750,000
as a result of salary negotiations with employee organizations during .the
current year. No: provision is made in this proposal for salary adjustments
not yet negotiated. Such adjustments are provided from the unappropriated
reserve and will be included in a budget adjustment late in the fiscal year.
Since the Memoranda of Understanding with three organizations include a
reopening clause in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) if the month of August
1974 goes above 139.5 for the Anaheim Municipal Employees Association and
139.8 for both Fire and the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers), and the Police Association memorandum calls for an adjustment if
the December 1974 CPI exceeds 142.2, a budget adjustment will be likely.
POLICE
An increase of approxt-~tely $1.25 million in the Police Department
budget is significant. In addition to the salary adjustment, 28 additional
people are requested. Most of the positions requested will be filled with
non-sworn people who will relieve sworn personnel for more appropriate duty
directly relating to law enforcement and crime prevention.
A satellite maintenance garage is proposed at the Police facility to
reduce vehicle downtime. With 120 poliCe vehicles, it is essential that they
be readily available for duty. The facility' location will also eliminate
service travel time for more effective manpower utilization.
The investigative activity will be increased with the addition of
three detectives.
FIRE
An increase of $448,110 (12.2 percent) in this department and $193,710
from Revenue Sharing will provide a temporary fire station in the developing
Santa Ana Canyon portion of the City; and will add an aerial truck company to
serve the northeast industrial area and the Joint response area served by
Anaheim and Fullerton.
PERSONNEL
In order to pick up the backlog of classification studies to provide
economies of job restructuring and to accommodate the requirements to meet the
constant!y increasing activity in labor relations, two new personnel analysts
are recommended. This addition will also provide for initial implementation of
an Affirmative Action Program to improve hiring and promotional practices for
minorities and women..Analysis of testing procedures and the processing of
additional, numbers of applicants to carry out the goals of this program will
add substantially to the work load and will require additional personnel in
subsequent years." (He explained that the Affirmative Action Program is required
when there is involvement in a Federal program, and the City has been involved
since utilizing the Public Employment Program for additional personnel.)
7~-570
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 4~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M.
The current budget anticipated the end of the three-year Public
Employment Program (PEP) on June 30, 1974. Legislation presently in Congress
would extend this program for another year although at a reduced level. In
addition, new manpower funding will be available beginning with the new fiscal
year. Since the amount of funds available from these programs is not known at
this time they are not considered in this budget.
ELECTIONS
A special bond election to be consolidated with a County Election in
November is recommended. This election would provide for Park acquisition and
development to be financed over a long-term basis. This procedure allows for
the users in future years to help pay for their facility rather than expecting
today's taxpayer to unfairly assume the entire responsibility." (Funds have
been included to provide a special bond election which will probably include
park acquisition and development, and establishment of a branch library.)
"AUDIT
We have not been able to adequately audit contracts, sales and room
occupancy receipts, and some internal operations in a timely fashion with the
present staff. This important aspect of management control will be strengthened
by the addition of one auditor.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
The additional work load placed upon this department by both State
and Federal legislation requires some relief. One planner was added during the
current year to cover Environmental Impact Review, development of seismic,
noise and other mandatory General Plan elements as well as to respond to the
greater citizenconcern for land'use planning.
Building activity continues at a pace requiring .an additional plan
checker to keep the backlog to a mtnt~au~. Two additional building inspectors
and one senior building inspector were added during the current year to strengthen
the inspection program." (Hr. MurdoCh noted that more personnel may need to be
added, particularly when they get into more detailed requirements for Environmen-
tal Impact studies, and especially if they are to include energy and some of
the Environmental ProtectionAgency requirements.)
"PUBLIC WORKS
A vacuum Jet machine and operating manpower are requested to more
adequately clean and maintain our 375 miles of sewers and t° clear stoppages.
The crew will also clean catch basins, culverts, storm drain siphons, etc.
The street cleaning section proposes to acquire additional equipment
to increase efficiency bY minimizing "dmd.heading" and utilizing on-route
dumping, and transfer. One man will be added to the crew." (We currently have
primarily a minimal program for maintenance of these facilities, and responding
to emergency calls, which is not as efficient as it should be.)
"PARKS
The increase i~ the Parks budget reflects negotiated salary adjustment
and the increased maintenance costs resulting from material cost inflation and
additional park development completed during the current year. No funds are
included in this budget for acquisition of future park lands. Park development
is proposed to be done with budgeted labor and withmeteriala purchased with
previously allocated funds. If any additional lands are to be purchased for
open space or park use, and if there is to be any acceleration of development,
such funding is proposed as long-term financing.

RECREATION
The Parks and Recreation Commission has strongly urged an enrichment
and extension of activity Jointly financed by the City and the various school
districts serving the Anaheim population. Four new pools will be opened in
Katella, Loafs, Magnolia and Savanna High Schools this year. Community
aquatic programs and instruction are proposed at each location.
More emphasis will be placed on girls activities and teen programs
at each high school campus.
Summer playground activities will be newly conducted at Manzanita
Park. Neighborhood school-year programs will be opened at Manzanita, Hansen
and Lincoln Parks.
There are several other lesser improvements in the recreation
program all recommended by the Commission.
In order to help finance this enriched program, the rates charged
to participants are to be adjusted to offset increased material and equipment
costs." (He noted that the four new swimming pools opening at various high
schools this year were designed in cooperation with the City to serve not
only the school needs, but also to provide family and community recreation
programs;, these facilities can be opened and used whether the schools are
open or not.)
"GOLF COURSE
Capital improvement proposals are limited to a partial replacement
of the irrigation system at Anaheim Municipal and some cart paths and landscap-
ing at Anaheim Hills.
UTILITIES
Anaheim, along with several other Southern California municipally-
owned utilities, is still seeking to reduce by litigation Edison's unprece-
dented increases in hearings before the Federal Power C~sston (FPC) and
various Federal courts. The budget provides $75,000 to continue the rate cases.
In addition, the budget provides $446,000 for the City's share of study costs
of alternative power supply sources. Of this amount, $350,000 is for the
Intermountain Power' Project (IPP) study costs. Based on current cost estimates
and projections of future costs, the City can reduce its future power supply
cost about 40 to 50 percent by participation in generation versus buying
power wholesale from Edison. The Assistant Utilities Director included as a
new position in the Director's Office budget will initially spend the bulk of
his time involved in these power supply studies.
The budget also provides $1,866,904 for water supply costs, an
increase of $337,804 over the 1973-74 appropriation of $1,529,100. The bulk
of this increase - $232,600 - is to pay for increased electricity costs to
pump water.
Much of the capital improvement cost is still provided by long-term
financing revenue bonds issued in 1971. This practice should be continued
with additional revenue bonds likely called for in 1975-76.
A Management Services Division is proposed in the Director's Office
to improve financial and operational procedures and practices and for continua-
tion of the work management program recommended by consultants Eapner, Bogenrief
and Wolfberg, Inc.
It is also proposed that a financial consultant be employed to review
the existing Utilities'accounting system and to make recommendations for pos-
sible betterment." (Alternative power supply sources: Based on cost estimates
and projections of future costs made by the City and previously made by consul-
cants, R. W, Beck & Associates, it.appears a conservative estimate that in the
future there viii be a reduction in power supply costs of approximately 40-501,
which' will be'a significant saving to the City and to the customers. Over a
twenty year period of time, it looks as though the City would average, after
74-572
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MllflIiES - Jme 4, 1974, 1: 30 P .M.
getting participation in generation on line, a saving to the cozunity, either
in power costs or power charges to the ultimate consumer, or transfer to the
General Fund, or a combination of both, an average saving over and above what
we have now, of approximately twenty million dollars per year. Re recommended
that this should be pursued very actively, and further advised that the City
cannot get very much of that on line until approximately 1980 how?ver, and it
does require a great deal of lead time.)
"STADIUM
The court decision regarding payment of possessory interest tax
reduces the City's obligation substantially for this item. This saving, coupled
with the net revenues which the contract with the Southern California Sun
professional football team will provide, reduces the net cash flow to amortize
the Stadium purchase.
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
It is the function of Community Redevelopment to eliminate and prevent
the spread of blight within the Cityof Anaheim, This can be accomplished
successfully through Community Redevelopment projects such as the recently
adopted Project Alpha.
The primary purpose of creating a Com~mnity Redevelopment Agency and
a Redevelopment Project is to improve and encourage development within the
adopted project area without increasing the existing tax rate within the City
of Anaheim.
This budget unit provides funding to initiate action in stimulating
the recycling ofdeteriorated areas and allowing redevelopment and expansion
in currently urbanizing areas which will increase the total assessed valuation
within the project area to the extent now or hereafter permitted by law.
The 1974-75 budget will provide for staff assistance, contractual
obligations for surveys and planning, materials, supplies and acquisition of
real property, demolition or removal of structures, relocation assistance,
installation of streets, utilities and other public improvements, disposition
of acquired property, and redevelopment of land by private enterprise or public
agencies where needed.
Advances and loans for survey.and planning and for the operating
capital for administration of this or any other redevelopment project can be
provided by the City of Anaheim until adequate tax increments or other funds
are m~de available to repay the loans or are sufficiently assured to permit
borrowing adequate working capital from sources other than the City.
BALANCING REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE PHOJECTIONS
The policy of the City has long been toset electric rates to the
consumer at levels equal to or preferably less than those charged to similar
customers by the Southern California Edison Company. With the rapid wholesale
rate increases placed into effect by the Federal Power Commission, and the much
slower adoption of retail rate increases by the California Public Utilities
Commission, it was necessary for the City to adopt rates equal to Edison rates
for a few months. Since Hay 8, 1974 Anaheim rates have been slightly lower
than Edison's. It is anticipated that there will be additional rate increases
during the coming fiscal year, but w~ hope to continue Anaheim's rates lower
than Edison's.
A rate increase for sanitation and for water is anticipated at about
15 percent. However, detailed analysis of appropriate rate structures may
indicate a lesser raise in both these, areas before specific recommendation for
Council adoption.
No change in the $1.05 total ad valorem tax rate is contemplated.
Some Revenue Sharing allocation changes should be made for 1972-73
and 1973-74. They are as follow:
74-573
F
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Ju~e 4~ t974~. 1:30 P.M.
1972-73: La Palms ball field, $120,000, should be included in proposed Park
Bond issue.
Douglas Street construction, $130,000, of the total allocation was
not needed and hence should be available for other uses. Council has already
approved using $52,000 of the $130,000 for additional police facilities,
leaving $78,000 for other uses.
The 1973-74 Broadway Storm Drain project, $540,000, can be postponed
and the monies reallocated.
These total $738,000 which should be allocated to the Civic Center
project together with $942,500 allocated in 1974-75.
Council also has previously approved reallocating $61,000 originally
scheduled for Twila Reed Park lighting to be spent for acquisition requirements
for the Ball and Harbor property ($30,000), Riverdale Park ($11,000) and for
development of Hansen Park ($20,000). These adjustments should be officially
made in the appropriate budgets.
DEFICIENCIES AND REHEDIES
The activity and service program proposed in this budget comes
close to maintaining a reasonable quality. The program also takes many steps
towards improvement. Nevertheless, there are many activity areas not included
or not adequately provided for. Fortunately these deficiencies can be allevia-
ted without undue financial strain upon the citizen and taxpayer.
For the past several years, Anaheim has attempted to provide many
large capital improvements on a cash basis from annual allocations. These
improvements aremade to serve the population for many, many years, but only
the present citizen pays for them. Tomorrow's user receives the benefit as a
gift, with only maintenance costs.his responsibility. It is high time that
Anaheim utilize financing methods for ions-life projects over a long-term
period and thus spread the obligation somewhat commensurate to the use.
Long-term financing frees current funds for current purposes.
For this reason I have recommended a bond issue for the November,
1974 election to provide for park development and site acquisition. If it is
successful, we can develop park lands that were purchased several years ago,
but are not yet used as parks. The Library Board of Trustees is also consider-
ing branch library construction and furnishing in this bond issue. This
would provide for a branch on Euclid, South of Ball Road and another on
Sunkist adjacent to Juarez Park.
Obviously we must be sure that the pace of development does not
exceed our financial ability to also operate and maintain, but our capacity
is greater now than our actual use'if we relieve some of the demand on current
revenues for future needs. If the issue fails, development will not be
adversely affected until late in the fiscal year. The real adverse effect
will occur in im~ediately subsequent years. It's high time Anaheim utilizes
its potential in providing amenities.
I have also proposed long-term financing for Redevelopment and the
Civic Center. If such financing is approved, it would immediately free
$1,680,000 for use this coming fiscal year to provide those items or services
felt to be most urgent. Several of the possibilities follow:
Paramedics, one or two units. At least three units will be needed
to serve Anaheim in a county,ride coordinated system, but training schedules
cannot be practically worked out this co~ing year for more than two.
A landfill site to greatly reduce the solid waste haul distance and
consequent cost, is high on the list to improve efficiency. A down payment
on land purchase should be made very soon.
74-574
C.~t~ Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 4, 1974, 1:30 P.M.
The alley paving program cannot keep up to schedule. Rising material
costs cut into the amount of work which can be accomplished with the amounts
budgeted.
The street maintenance program is likewise suffering at the same time
that additional streets reach the time for repair. The programs must be supple-
mented before we lose more pavement than we can afford to repair or replace."
(The alley paving and street maintenance programs are falling behind due to
increased costs of materials plus the additional streets coming in at the rate
of 1,000,000 square feet per year, and these programs should be upgraded,
although this is not provided for in the Budget proposal as presented.)
"Twice during the past two years the Federal and State agencies
concerned with highway and street funding have made funds available on impossibly
short notice for projects ready to implement. Our advance construction plans
are nearly nonexistent. An addition of Cwo design engineers would gradually
close this gap, but we have no place co house them near logical work stations.
Phase I of the Civic Center will remedy this situation.
The Council has suggested Cwo other needed personnel, one to work on
grant funding and one to act as Community Relations Representative to concentrate
on remedying causes of neighborhood ills and irritants. Neither of these func-
tions is funded.
Storm drains are needed in many parts of the City. Although long-
term financing is most appropriate for this type of improvement, some drains
could be constructed each year.
There are many pieces of equipment which are needed Co reduce manpower
requirements or to otherwise increase efficiency, but each year we postpone
many such purchases so chat we can proceed with desirable long-life improvements.
Some funding is expected through SCAG (Southern California Association
of Governments) for bicycle trail planning and a small amount of construction,
but Anaheim could be using additional COunty funds if we were to match them.
There is a real need for a larger mechancial maintenance facility
adjacent Co the utilities yard. This facility would improve efficiency greatly
with its proximity to the largest c°ncenCraCion of equipment. The present
facility would be used to relieve the overcrowded Property Maintenance yard.
There are many, many other items worthy of early consideration.
Obviously all cannot be included ac Chis time and many probably never will be.
Just the same, Anaheim can do a better Job. We can do it without a great deal
of strain if we will utilize appropriate financing methods. I believe this is
the year co move ahead sensibly and together.

Mayor Thom thanked the City Manager and asked if anyone had comments
Co make at this time. There was no response.
It was pointed out that copies of the Budget proposal were available
for review by interested citizens in the City Clerk's. Office, the Research
Office, at the Main Library, and at the Chamber of Commerce Office.
Councilman Pebley called attention to the condition of streets in
West Anaheim, particularly in the area of the Ball-Dale Annexation, and based
on his experience, he was of the opinion chat it is considerably more economical
to maintain streets year by year.
Mr. Murdoch stated it was his hope that the Council Members would
make comments as to what their high priorities for the Budget are, and what, if
anything, they think should not be included in the proposal.

PROPOSED WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION PARTIAL SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM: Proposed program
of partial self-insurance for Workmen's Compensation was submitted. (Copies
furnished each Council Member.)
Mr. Paul F. McLellan, Public'Agency Representative for the State
Compensation Insurance Fund, was present to answer questions.
Personnel Director Garry McRae advised that a self-insurance program
for the City was first recommended in 1969 by the consulting firm of Ron Stever
and Company; and he reported that the firm's recomendations have been followed
as to strengthening the City's safety program, improving safety training,
attaining medical control of Workmen's Compensation accidents, and initiating
a program of giving annual medical examinations to police and fire personnel.
He further advised that in 1973, the consulting firm of Fred S. James and Com-
pany also recommended a program of partial self-insurance for Workmen's Compen-
sation, and he noted the savings expected to be realized.
In answer to questions by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. McRae advised
that the County of Orange had been self-insured for more than five years, and
they had realized substantial savings~
Mayor Thom asked if the proposed change would affect the functions
of the Personnel staff.
Mr. Tom Tyre, Safety and Training Coordinator, reported that the
staff is already performing the necessary functions on a full-time basis,
therefore it is expected that they will be able to make the change without an
increase in personnel.
In response to questions by Mayor Thom, Mr. McRae replied that there
are no basic differences between present coverage and the services outlined in
the proposal; the Referee as to whether coverage is adequate remains the same
(The Workmen.'s Compensation Appeals Board), and the benefits, which are mandated
by law, remain constant. Further, that the insurance adjustor who would be
employed under the contract, would devote a great deal of time and effort to
the adjusting activities for the City, which would allow the work of the staff
'to continue at the same approximate magnitude as at present.
74-582
City Ha!l~ A.__n~_heim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 4~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M.
The Mayor asked if any of the agencies which had changed to the self-
insured program have returned to being insured by a carrier.
Mr. McLellan reported that he knew of only one city which had returned
to the carrier system.
Mr. McRae pointed out that there are only two options, the City is
either self-insured, or is with the State Compensation Insurance Fund, under
the law. As to the effect on existing Memorandums of Understanding, he stated
the proposal has been reviewed with all affected organizations and no changes
to their relationship with the City are foreseen.
In answer to further questioning, Mr. McRae advised that in evaluating
proposals which will be solicited from qualifying insurance carriers and
service agencies to provide contract services in connection with the program,
the criteria to be used will include success of the bidders with other Jurisdic-
tions, the services they are willing to perform, and the price they place on
those services.
Responding to question by the Mayor regarding the Claims Reserve Fund,
Finance Director M. R. Ringer advised it is planned to budget the next three years
on the basis of the last three years' experiences; at that time those monies which
have not been paid out .in claims will be held as reserve, or returned to the City
for other purposes. Therefore, there is no cost reduction planned for during the
next three years, which will allow a true measurement of the program's effects.
Mr. McRae noted that no reserve funds will be necessary at the beginning
since all previous industrial accident experience is already provided for in
reserves that are held by the State, and those accidents come under that Juris-
diction.
Mayor Thom asked if the Management Committee, consisting of the
Assistant City Manager, City Attorney, Finance Director and the Personnel Director,
would be able to absorb their Committee duties along with their regular duties
with no problems, no additional personnel, etc.
Mr. McRae answered that the Committee will be operating basically on
the recommendations of their various staffs, who are presently involved in this
type of work; that the purpose of the'Co~ittee is to all°w all these elements,
which are a part of the Workmen's Compensation program, to come together at one
point, and their Judgments will reflect the variety of viewpoints.
Councilman Syemour asked whether there would be any restrictions on
the investment of funds derived from the program,
Mr. Ringer advised there would be no restrictions; the funds can be
used for normal municipal investments, the same as other funds.
With regard to excess insurance premiums, Councilman Seymour inquired
whether it would be possible that any benefits could accrue as result of a Risk
Analyst looking at the placement of excess insurance premiums along with other
insurance premiums.
Mr. Ringer stated he could have the Risk Analyst review the excess
liability aspects of the program as the first portion of his study, and report
back to the City Council prior to July 15, 1974.
In answer to additional questions by the Mayor, Mr. Tyre reported
that State rehabilitation services will continue to be available to the City.
Mr. McRae advised that employees will be protected under the self-
insured program the same as under State Compensation; the benefits are legally
provided for, and the intent is to emphasize safety program improvement where
t~ bulk of the savings are to be made under this program.
Regarding questions concerning the California Occupational Safety and
Health Act (Cai-OSHA), Mr. McRae further advised that, irrespective of the
carrier, the City as an entity is responsible to CAi-OSHA, whose rules and
regulations essentially meet the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act.

ANAHEIM CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION - PROPOSED SAFETY CO,HNITTEE:
Murdoch called attention to coemunication dated May 16, 1974, from the Anaheim
City School District Board of Education, proposing the establishment of an
advisory City-Schools Safety and Planning Committee, and suggesting that a Joint
meeting be scheduled to discuss implementation of such a committee, said meeting
to include the City Manager and Superintendents of the following school districts:
Anaheim City, Anaheim Union High, Magnolia, Savanna, Placentia and Orange, which
districts lie partly within the City of Anaheim.
The City Manager was instructed to schedule the meeting as suggested,
and report back to the City Council on the purpose and other details of setting
up the proposed committee.
ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT REQUEST - ANAHEIM FOREBAY WASTEWATER RECLAMATION PLANT:
At the regular meeting held May 21, 1974, the City Council reviewed request of
the Orange County Water District for a resolution relating to the Anaheim
Forebay Wastewater Recl~m-tton Plant effect on air quality, and continued the
matter, pending report by the Director of Public Works after viewing a similar
operation at the South Lake Tahoe Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Mr. Piersall reported that members of the Orange County Water District
made the trip to Lake Tahoe, along with Water Superintendent Larry Sears, Planning
Supervisor Don McDaniel and himself, and the general consensus was that no objec-
tionable odors were detected at the treatment plant; therefore, they were of the
opinion the proposed Anaheim facility could be developed without Jeopardy to the
City. He further advised that the "Project Report" submitted by the consultant
on the Anaheim Forebay Project indicates in part that the design will be of the
highest state of the art, and that technology is available to eliminate odors.
In accordance with report and recommendations of the Director of Public
Works, Councilman Thom moved that the City Council recommend to the Orange County
Water District that the "Project Report" be included as supplemental information
to the Draft Environmental Impact'Report, and that said E.I.R. address itself
more particularly to those items that are going to be incorporated in the design
to mitigate any problems of odors, etc., which might be considered. Councilwoman
Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
RESOLUTION NO. 74R-266: Councilman Sneegas offered Resolution No. 74R-266 for adoption,
recognizing that the project may interfere with the attainment or maintenance of
air quality standards, but the project is needed to solve critical water quality
problems and that the legislative body recosnizes it may have to implement land
use and transportation restrictions in order to meet air quality standards.

REPORT - BICYCLE TRAILS: Councilman Seymour reported that the City's allotment for
bikeways and pedestrian facilities, as applied for through the Southern Califor-
nia Association of Governments (SCAG) on April 2, 1974, in the maximum amount
of $33,031.00, should be received by the City in August of this year, and he
proposed that the appropriate departments be directed to move ahead and finalize
the proposed integrated plans for the trail system in the near future.
Mr. Murdoch advised that Parks and Recreation was the leading depart-
ment involved with this issue, working in coordination with the transportation
effort of the Development Services Department, the Traffic Engineer, and the
City Engineer. He pointed out that the next step would be to obtain technical
assistance to advise on the utilization of the various rights-of-way, existing
linear components, etc., and he would undertake an analysis to see how the
allocation can be used, and-to determine whether the technical assistance
could be commenced prior to receipt of the funds.
PROPOSED ADJUSTHENT~ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES: At. the invitation of
Councilman Seymour, Mr. James Jamieson, 2923 East Winfield Avenue, Anaheim,
came forward to address the City Council, requesting support of petition to
the Anaheim City School District by interested property owners in the area
bounded by State College Boulevard, Lincoln Avenue, the Riverside Freeway, and
the Santa Ana River, for inclusion of their district in the Anaheim City School
District. Mr. Jamieson advised that the schools in this area are currently
within the Placentia Unified School District; that the children in the area of
Rio Vista School attend that school for kindergarten through second grade, and
must then be bussed to another school in Placentia to attend third through sixth
grade; that Placentia does not work with the Anaheim Parks and Recreation
Commission to provide activities for their schools within the Anaheim City
limits, nor for the development of the existing park site adjacent to Rio Vista
School.
Under the State of California Education Code, Mr. Jamieson explained
that of the two methods open to the homeowners to obtain an adjustment in school
boundaries, an attempt to execute the first method had failed as they were
unable to obtain approval by the Placentia School Board. He reported that
work on the second method, obtaining the signatures of 25% of the registered
voters in the district and petitioning the Anaheim School Board, was well under
way; that more than 800 of an approximate 1800 registered voters (15%) had
already signed the petition.
'RESOLUTION NO. 74R-268: At the conclusion of brief discussion by the City
Council, Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 74R-268 for adoption, urging
the Anaheim City School District to give favorable consideration to the peti-
tion of request to relocate school district boundaries to serve the area bounded
by State College Boulevard, the Riverside Freeway, the Santa Ana River, and
Lincoln Avenue.

POLE SIGN~ 1019 NORTH EUCLID STREET: Mrs. Lynch, of Lynch's Towne Shoppe, 1019 North
Euclid Street, was recognized by Councilman Sneegas, and advised that the commer-
cial property where she had recently established her business contained two sign
poles; that after being told she could place a sign on the pole nearest her shOp,
she submitted plans which were previously approved by the landlord to the City;
and although the wall sign was approved, the sign for the pole was not. Further,
one of the other businesses had two signs on the pole, leaving no room for her
sign, and she stressed the necessity for the identification only the pole sign
could provide.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts reported that the sign pole at the
