classification No. 71-72-38.

He further noted that the additional dedication required by the
City Engineer's recommendation would result in the relocation of a drive-
way and loss of one 2 -story unit.
The Council reviewed the revised plans submitted by the Applicant.
In reply to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Maddox advised that the pro-
posed Crescent Avenue overcrossing of the Santa Ana Freeway, which would
necessitate the additional dedication, would be a joint City County un-
dertaking, and this would require that the City acquire all of the neces-
sary right -of -way and pay for construction of the roadway. He added that
it was estimated this overcrossing probably would be under construction
within five or six years.
Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present and
wished to address the Council.
Kenneth Nelson, Nelow Development Company, 7411 Irvine Boulevard,
Tustin, Agent, stated he had only become aware of the possible additional
dedication requirement that morning, and felt that since it is projected
five or six years in the future, the alignment may never be changed; that
when he viewed the preliminary plan it appeared all that would be required
was a side bank and retaining wall. He added that the only information he
had was a letter saying a small corner of the property would be taken.
Referring to the necessity to relocate farther to the east the
proposed driveway in that area, Mk. Nelson contended this would make a more
difficult exiting situation. He added that their Architect, that morning,
had attempted to redesign the drive to exit at the same location as origin-
ally planned, even with the requested dedication.
Mr. Maddox advised he did not think that would be possible, because
there probably would be a four or five -foot difference in grade from subject
property to the beginning of the overcrossing.
Upon request of Mr. Nelson, Councilman Pebley moved to continue
the public hearing to May 9, 1972, to allow time to modify plans to reflect
the recommended additional dedication. Councilman Thom seconded the motion.
MOTION CARRIED.
RECLASSIFICATION NO. 71- 72 -39: Submitted by Lola G. Jones, requesting a change
of zone from R -A to R -1 for property located on the north side of Santa Ana
Street, west of Elder Street.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC72 -67,
recommended said reclassification be approved, subject to the following con-
ditions:

Anaheim a strip of land 32 feet in width from the centerline of the street
along Santa Ana Street for street widening purposes.
2. That all engineering requirements of the City of Anaheim along
Santa An Street, including preparation of improvement plans and installa-

ing and paving, drainage facilities, or other appurtenant work shall be cour
plied with as required by the City Engineer and in accordance with standard
plans and specifications on file in the office of the City Engineer; and that
a bond in an amount and form satisfactory to the City of Anaheim shall be

requirements.
3. That the owners of subject property shall pay to the City of

cent Avenue.

Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present and
wished to address the Council.
Bruce Chandler, Attorney for the Applicant, advised that Mrs. San-
chez has 4 children of her own, 3 of whom are in school, and he questioned
under Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.64.020 whether it would be necessary
for her to apply for a conditional use permit to care for 5 additional chil-
dren.
The City Attorney advised that if the Applicant's school-age chil-
dren under the age of 14 were not at home during the entire time she cared
for those other 5 children it would not be necessary to have a conditional
use permit, since the Code permits a total of 6 children.
In reply to Council questioning, Mrs. Sanchez advised that she
ordinarily cares for children from 6 :30 A.M. to 6 :00 P.M., on a year around
basis. She advised that she has been licensed for 3k years by the State to
provide day care for children, and spent $16,000.00 for a 1,200- square foot
addition to her home to assure ample room for these activities, carries
$50,000.00 insurance on each child cared for, and keeps them confined with-
in a 60 x 55 -foot backyard with a 10 x 30 -foot concrete patio.
She also advised that she employes a fulltime housekeeper so that
all of her attention can be given to the children.
Mrs. Sanchez stated that, to her knowledge, only 6 residents of the
24 homes on her block have expressed opposition to her activity and they have
indicated concern over their property values. She added that there were no
complaints prior to her application for a conditional use permit.
In reply to Council questioning, Mrs. Sanchez stated she had re-
moved a chainlink fence covered with ivy because her neighbor to the rear
had objected to it at a Planning Commission meeting. She added that if
ever there were any neighborhood problems as a result of her activities,
she would resolve them if the neighbors would approach her on them.
Mrs. Sanchez stated it was her opinion children were better cared
for in a residential neighborhood atmosphere than on such busy streets as
Euclid with the minimum required 4 -foot fence.
Mayor Dutton asked for a show of hands of people in the audience
who were in support of the application. Approximately 10 persons responded,
and the Mayor asked that one person act as spokesman for the group.
Kathie Meyers, 542 North Hampton Street, refuted the City Plan-
ning Commission finding that granting this application would constitute
spot zoning, since the Anaheim Municipal Code permits this activity in a
residential area if a conditional use permit is obtained.
She also disagreed with the City Planning Commission finding that
the activity would be "detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general
welfare of the citizens of Anaheim," and expressed the opinion that the Ap-
plicant actually was performing a good service for the citizens by provid-
ing good care for the children of working parents.
Mrs. Meyers further stated she felt Mrs. Sanchez had contributed
to the property values of the homes in her area by the addition to her home.
Mrs. Lee Forrest, of the Orange County Welfare Department, advised
that her department is the licensing agent for the State, and anyone who
cares for an unrelated child must be licensed to do so. She noted that
there presently are approximately 700 such licensees in Orange County, car-
ing for about 2,400 children, and that about 125 of these homes are in Ana-
heim, caring for approximately 400 children; that only licensed day care
centers are permitted to care for children under 2 years of age; that since
there are no such facilities offered by the City or County, parents either
must use the services of these day care centers or drop their employment
and depend on Welfare to support them.
72- 260
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES May 2. 1972. 1 :30 P.M.
Mrs. Forrest stated that licensed day care centers are closely sup-
ervised by her department.
She advised that they issue licenses to care for 3 children other
than the licensee's, and are permitted to issue a special license for up to
10 children if the required zoning is granted.
Mrs. Forrest stated that she had thoroughly investigated the Appli-
cant's operation and found both the quality of care and facilities qualified
her for a special license. She added that she had found the children cared
for by Mrs. Sanchez were clean, well -fed and happy, and recommended the re-
quired conditional use permit be granted.
Councilman Pebley asked if Mrs. Forrest would issue the special li-
cense if the Council granted subject conditional use permit, subject to re-
view in two years.
Mrs. Forrest replied that all licenses issued by her department are
reviewed yearly.
In reply to Council questioning, Mrs. Forrest stated she felt care
of the 5 children requested by Mrs. Sanchez would keep her busy and she would
not recommend approval of a license for a larger number.
Mayor Dutton asked for a show of hands of opposition, and approxi-
mately 8 persons responded. He requested that one person be appointed spokes-
man for the group.
Chester Kelley, 510 North Hampton Street, presented two letters in
opposition from neighbors who were out of town. He stated he lived directly
across the street from the Applicant and objected to the proposed activity
because of the increased traffic and noise it generates from early morning
to late at night. He added that he had noted more than 10 cars at a time
dropping children at this residence.
Mr. Kelley stated he understood Mrs. Sanchez' next -door neighbor
also was planning to operate a day care facility and, in fact, had been caring
for some children, which, together with Mrs. Sanchez' operation, had practi-
cally doubled the traffic on that dead-end street.
He objected to the additional traffic since parents had to drive
into the street to drop off children, back up and turn around and then exit
the way they had entered, which created traffic hazards for the 50 -some chil-
dren living on the street, as well as additional noise.
In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Kelley stated the only time
there seemed to be excess noise from Mrs. Sanchez' operation was in the sum-
mer when her own children also were home; that there have been times when
parents had not picked up their children until 10:00 P.M.
Mr. Kelley added he feared that if subject conditional use permit
was granted, there may be applications for additional home business opera-
tions in the area.
Responding to Council discussion, the City Attorney advised that
the City allows Mrs. Sanchez to provide day care for 5 children under the
age of 14, including her own,without a conditional use permit, and as each
of her children reached 14 she would be able to care for one more child;
however, since her family already consists of the legal family unit of 6
persons, (mother, father and 4 children), she would not be permitted to pro-
vide overnight care for any outside children.
evidence.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to present new and different
Luke Mentzer, 510 North Harcourt Street, whose property adjoins
Applicant's at the rear, stated he was a teacher and the noise from the
children disturbed his peace and quiet.
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES May 2. 1972, 1 :30 P.M.

He presented a petition purportedly containing 42 signatures of
property owners on Harcourt Street and Hampton Street, opposing the appli-
cation.
Mayor Dutton invited the Applicant to present a short rebuttal.
Mrs. Sanchez presented a notarized letter from Sandra F. Opitz
(the next -door neighbor who reportedly also wished to operate a day care
center) stating the only outside children she had cared for were those un-
der Mrs. Sanchez' care when she by necessity had to be away from her home,
and that she had no desire to operate a day care facility of her own.
Replying to the.complaint about additional noise during the sum
mer months, Mrs. Sanchez stated she preferred to keep her own children at
home along with their playmates, which did make a good many children in
her backyard.
She also stated that the mother of one child she cared for had
worked different shifts and sometimes had to pick her child up later in
the evening.
In reply to Council questioning, Mrs. Sanchez advised she re-
ceived from $20.00 to $30.00 per child per week for her care.
Councilman Pebley invited the Applicant's Agent to again address
the Council.
Mr. Chandler advised that the Applicant intended to notify by let-
ter the parents of the children she cared for that they must drive slowly
on her street, avoid excess noise and carry sufficient liability insurance.
The Mayor invited one of the persons opposing the application to
also address the Council briefly.
Betty Luis, 523 North Hampton Street, presented 2 additional let-
ters in opposition from area homeowners on vacation.
She stated they had purchased their home because the street dead
ended at the golf course and they felt it was safe for their children; how-
ever, some people traveling their street to drop off children had been driv-
ing excessively fast and carelessly in-her opinion, jeopardizing the safety
of children and adults alike.
Mrs. Luis advised that her hours of employment were from 4:30 P.M.
to 1 :30 A.M., so her children would not have to be cared for by others, and
she felt other mothers could do the same.
It was determined sufficient evidence had been presented, and
Mayor Dutton declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Stephenson stated he did not feel a residential area
should be used for more than the State license allowed and caring for 2
children besides the Applicant's 3 other children under 14 years of age
was sufficient.
Councilman Dutton stated he felt such a day care center in a resi-
dential area provided a better atmosphere than on a commercial street, and
it was his opinion the Applicant would be fulfilling a need and necessity
for working mothers who must have their children cared for outside the home.
Councilman Sneegas, noting the amount of opposition expressed,
stated he felt perhaps granting a request for a conditional use permit to
allow the care of one'additional child would lead to further requests for
additional children.
RESOLUTION: Councilman Dutton offered a Resolution for adoption, granting
said conditional use permit for a total of 8 children, under the age of 14,
including the children of the Applicant, subject to the Interdepartmental
Committee Recommendations and further subject to review within one year.

AKAIWIM FOUNDATION FOR CULTURE AND THE ARTS HORACE MANN SCHOOL LEASE AND "BUCK
BAG DAYS Request of B.W. Jordan, President of the Anaheim Foundation for Culture
and the Arts, was submitted that Anaheim sign the lease with the Anaheim City
School District for the Horace Mann School, proposed for a Cultural Arts
Center, and also proclaim May 13 to 16, 1972 "Buck Bag Days," for a fund-
raising campaign. Said request originally was submitted at the April 25,
1972 meeting, and deferred to this date at the request of Mr. Jordan.
72-263
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES May 2. 1972. 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Dutton invited a representative to address the Council.
Mrs. Mary Jones, member of the Board of Directors, advised that
the Anaheim Foundation for Culture and the Arts formed in 1971 with 8 mem-
bers and expanded to its present 25 for the purpose of raising funds to
renovate Horace Mann School for use as a Cultural Arts Center, as required
by the City Council prior to its signing a lease for the school, has raised
a total of. $36,750,00 in cash and pledges to this date, which they feel is
sufficient to do the necessary renovation to allow the building to be put
to use.
She added that the Foundation, however, is of the opinion the
obligation of the Foundation is greater than that of raising the funds
required by the City Council for renovation, and thus has formed seven
committees to raise funds for renovation plus support and operation of
the building, one project of which is the proposed "Buck Bag Days." The
Foundation wishes to be independent of the City on this project with the
exception of the City's current commitment.
She added that they already have received requests to use the
building from 30 groups.
Mrs. Jones asked that the City Council authorize signing of the
lease on Horace Mann School at this time so that volunteer groups can be-
gin renovation work.
Councilman Pebley stated he would approve signing the lease at
this time,however, he felt the Council- appointed Cultural Arts Commission
should be responsible for supervising the building and any renovation work
and for administration of the Center itself.
Mrs. Jones stated she felt that inasmuch as the Cultural Arts
Commission was included in the Foundation membership, along with other
Anaheim citizens, the responsibility would better be that of the Founda-
tion.
Councilman Dutton stated he wanted to know who would be respon-
sible for operation, planning, etc. of the proposed Cultural Arts Center
and also physical evidence by the Anaheim citizens that they desired this
center before he would approve signing the lease, particularly in light
of the letters of opposition received, and thus it was his opinion the
"Buck Bag Days" project should take place first.
Mrs. Jones stated she felt the citizens supported the project,
but were waiting for the lease to be signed as proof that there would be
a Cultural Arts Center before committing themselves. She added that it
was the intention of the Foundation to finance the operation of the Center,
and at no time has the Foundation felt it was a City obligation, other than
those agreed to originally, such as the parking lot. In her opinion, if
they could start the renovation it would motivate much more support.
Councilman Dutton asked if the Foundation had the necessary
cash to do the renovation work that the lease requires within six months.
Bernard W. Jordan advised that additional monies had been re-
ceived this date, and thus there was $22,075.00 in cash and $16,675.00
in five -year pledges on hand, for a total of $38,750.00, and it was felt
the proposed "Buck Bag Days" project would bring the cash on hand figure
to well over the $30,000.00 felt necessary for immediate renovation. He
added they hoped to have sufficient funds to move well into many of their
second -phase operations and be assured of operating funds for a three to
five -year period.
tion:
Mr. Jordan named the following committees formed by the Founda-
Architectural and Construction to get the initial job
done and continue on in other responsibilities as money provides.

City Hall, Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES May 2, 1972, 1 :30 P.M.
Center Utilization will determine by whom,'hen and how the Center

tion.
Center Operations will work in conjunction with Center Utiliza-
Personnel to see that necessary personnel is provided and screen-
ing and interviewing people who would be handling the Center.
Finance or Campaign an ongoing controller and provider of the
necessary funds to operate the Center.
Furnishing and Equipment to determine the needs to make the Cen-
ter usable.
Councilmen Pebley and Thom stated they felt the Foundation should
be permitted to go ahead in view of the support evidenced by City organiza-
tions and residents.
In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Jordan advised that plans call
for volunteer help to provide a substantial amount of the early operation;
however, it is estimated $25,000.00 per year would be necessary to operate
the facility thereafter and employ a professional to supervise operations;
that fees would be charged for rental of rooms and for admission to exhibits
to produce revenue, and requests already have been received to conduct art,
ceramic, lapidary and dance classes. He added that it thus would be neces-
sary to conduct permanent fund- raising activities.
Mrs. Jones advised that a survey conducted for the Foundation in-
dicated the potential for the Center would be between $50,000.00 and $100,000.
Mr. Murdoch stated the survey (Arts Management Associates) had not
been consistent in its projection and also had set forth some items that were
infeasible, and this may be the cause of some of the existing confusion about
expense and revenues.
Referring to Councilman Pebley's suggestion that the Cultural Arts
Commission assume the responsibility for the Center, Mr. Murdoch noted that
the Commission is advisory to the Council and as such cannot assume the re-
sponsibility for operation or maintenance; however, their membership in the
Foundation is a separate function since the Foundation is a private corpora-
tion. The City is the agency responsible to the School District and the Foun-
dation would be Agent for the City.
Councilman Stephenson stated he did not feel $30,000.00 was a suf-
ficient sum to warrant signing the lease and suggested the "Buck Bag Days"
project be undertaken first.
Mrs. Jo Ann Barnett displayed one of the "Buck Bags" to be used for
their proposed fund- raising campaign and advised that volunteers would solicit
contributions in shopping centers, the California Angels would be requested
to proclaim May 14 "Buck Bag Days" and allow solicitation of the attendees,
and every effort would be made to contact every business in Anaheim on Busi-
ness and Industry Day, May 15th, that service clubs would be contacted and
final efforts would be concentrated at the.Carrousel of Anaheim at the Con-
vention Center on May 16th.
Mr. Murdoch noted that although. it is not a normal procedure, the
Cultural Arts Center could be operated on an entirely volunteer basis if suf-
ficient funds are not available in the future; that the Council should deter-
mine to what extent it wished to commit the City in any eventuality.
Mr. Jordan stated he felt the most desirable relationship would be
for the Foundation to contract with the City for operation of the Center so
that the City could retain control, since it is liable under the lease agree-
ment; that the Foundation is now prepared to operate the facility and provide
the financing for operation.
,MOTION:, Councilman Thom offered a motion to authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the lease for Horace Mann School. Council discussion fol-
lowed, wherein it was determined an operational agreement should be approved
prior to signing the lease.
72 -265
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES May 2. 1922. 1:30 P.M.
The City Attorney stated that in order to prepare an operational
agreement, he would need information as to what functions the groups de-
siring to rent space at the Center would perform, as well as other infor-
mation.
Mrs. Jones advised a broad program of activities projected for
the Center has been prepared and will be furnished the City Attorney.
Councilman Pebley stated he would like a bid on the cost of de-
molishing Horace Mann School in the event the Cultural Arts Center does not
succeed.
MOTION: Councilman Thom amended his foregoing motion to authorize the May-
or and City Clerk to execute the lease between the City of Anaheim and the
Anaheim School District for Horace Mann School as soon as the City Council
approved an operational agreement. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion.

phenson seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
CLUBHOUSE FACILITIES ANAHEIM HILLS GOLF COURSE: The City Manager reported that
the low bid for construction of the Anaheim Hills Golf Course Clubhouse was
approximately $317,000.00; however, further discussion with the low bidder
and elimination of some items has lowered that cost to $286,243.00, which
is $36,243.00 above the $250,000.00 provided by the Grant Corporation in
their sale agreement with the City.
Mr. Murdoch noted that $30,242.00 of this cost would be for golf
cart storage facilities, which was not provided in the Grant Corporation
agreement, but which is deemed necessary.
He advised that in review of specifications and plans for the
Clubhouse facility, it was determined that to eliminate any additional items
would result in additional maintenance costs to the City. He therefore re-
commended that the $36,243.00 needed for completion be included in the 1972-
73 budget, $30,242.00 for the golf cart storage facility and $6,001.00 as
the City's obligation in accepting the gift of the Clubhouse from Grant Cor-
poration.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Dutton,
$36,243.00 was approved for inclusion in the 1972 budget for the Anaheim
Hills Golf Course Clubhouse facility, as recommended by the City Manager.
To this motion Councilman Thom voted "No;" Councilman Pebley abstained on
the basis and same reasons that he had abstained from voting on the purchase

72-269
City Hall. Anaheim, California COUNC,pL MINUTES Mav 2. 1972. 1 :30 P.M.
Jan Hagan, President of the Firemen's Protective League of Ana-
heim, stated his organization disagreed with the statement in the April
25, 1972 letter from the Personnel Department that subject Ordinance ful-
fills the principal objectives of the Meyers- Milias -Brown Act, primarily
because of the exclusion of any mention of an impasse procedure. He added
that the Meet and Confer phrase denotes collective bargaining; however,
it was felt an impasse procedure should be included to insure both nego-
tiating parties shall have arbitration rights.
Mr. Hagan noted that 36 cities in Southern California with
populations of over 75,000 have implemented the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act,
70% of those having provided for mediation and fact finding, and a major-
ity of the counties have implemented the Act, with 737 of those having
mediation and fact finding, and his organization felt Anaheim should
join those cities by including an impasse procedure in this ordinance.
He advised that his Association offered an alternative method
used by some cities, such as Torrance, whereby if the parties reach an
impasse, either side may request mediation through the State Conciliation
Service, and if the mediation fails a fact finder may be requested to lis-
ten to both sides and make a recommendation. In the event both of those
procedures fail, the City Council would make the final decision.
In response to Councilman Dutton's remark that he did not want
to delegate Council authority where issues such as wages are concerned
that could affect the tax base, the City Manager stated that mediation
attempts to get the parties together and makes suggestions, just as does
a fact finder, but the final authority rests with the City Council.
Replying to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Hagan advised that the
costs involved in an impasse procedure usually are borne by both parties.
Larry Hutchison, President of the Anaheim Police Association,
introduced John Harriman, Attorney, as their representative.
Referring to impasse procedure, Mr. Harriman advised that the
Meyers- Milias -Brown Act provides for mediation, the cost of which is to
be borne equally by all parties; that a mediator has no authority to force
anyone to make a suggested decision.
He stated that the Police Association also recommended some form
of impasse procedure be included in the Ordinance; although it was felt
the theory was included in the Ordinance by the provision for conciliation
relative to makeup of a proper unit.
Mr. Harriman stated he felt the objective of the Ordinance was
to promote good relations between the employee and employer; however, the
employee organizations evidently feared the Ordinance would diminish the
effectiveness of the organizations as a group.
He stated one objection was that an association recognized
such by having in meet and confer sessions would not now be recog-
nized as a result of this Ordinance and have to qualify again; however,
he understood the Personnel Department has issued a subsequent statement
to the effect that these organizations would be recognized.
The City Manager advised that this had been an item of discus
sion with all of the employee organizations, and had been inadvertently
omitted in the original draft of the Ordinance, but now is included.
Mr. Harriman stated that the second objection of the Police As-
sociation was with respect to the definition of "Employee, Management,"
(item (g), page 2), wherein it states: "Means (1) any employee having
significant responsibilities for formulating and administering City poli-
cies and programs, including but not limited to the City Manager, depart-
ment heads, assistant department heads, division heads, assistant division
heads, administrative staffs, police captains, police lieutenants, fire
battalion chiefs, and such other officers and deputies as may be designated
by the City Manager; and (2) any employee having authority to exercise
72-270
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES May 2. 1972, 1:30 F.M.
independent judgment to appoint, transfer, suspend, lay -off, reinstate, pro
mote, demote, dismiss, assign, reward, or discipline subordinate employees,
or to adjust their grievances, or effectively to recommend such action."
He added that there no longer is an objection to a Police Lieuten-
ant in this category, as previously had been the case; however, it was his
opinion a Police Sergeant, such as Mr. Hutchison, would have many of the cri-
teria of the second part of that definition, and if Mr. Hutchison was not
considered "Employee, Management," the Association would have difficulty
having someone with meet and confer experience as their representative.
Mr. Harriman expressed the opinion that if a patrolman is in some
position where he could manifest some independent judgment, he could be con-
sidered "Employee, Management."
Referring to Section (f) on page 2, "Employee, Confidential," Mr.
Harriman stated they hoped that category would be limited to information
concerning the meet and confer process as opposed to normal, every day run-
ning of the Police Department.
Mr. Harriman noted that beginning with the fourth line in Section
1.06.040 on page 3, defining "City Management Rights," wherein it states
"The rights of the City Management include, but are not limited to, the ex-
clusive right to consider the merits, necessity or organization of any ser-
vice or activity provided by law, or administrative order; this phrase
duplicates one in the Meyers- Milias -Brown Act except that it says "executive"
order rather than administrative; the second portion of that section, wherein
it states, "determine the mission of its constituent departments.... "etc.,
was deemed better placed in the Meet and Confer section. He added the Po-
lice Association would prefer this section to state only, "As it is defined
in the Meyers- Milias -Brown Act."
Mt.-Harriman, in reply to the City Manager, advised he felt much
of Section 1.06.040 should properly be in the Meet and Confer Section, so
that neither party could stop the other from discussing a problem, although
it may be that one simply would not discuss.
He added that one fault of the Meyers- Milias -Brown Act is that
the next step after refusal by one party to discuss an item is a court ac-
tion, which is not as productive as working it out together or having some
other procedure set up.
Mr. Harriman noted another objection of the Police Association is
to the last section on page 6, referring to the establishment of appropriate
units, wherein it states: "(a) Management employees shall not be included
in the same unit with non management employees for the purpose of meeting
and conferring, nor may they represent such employees on matters within
the scope of representation."
He noted there is no objection to the last part oo that paragraph
that states Management employees may not represent non management employees;
however, the first section that he interpreted to mean that Management em-
ployees may not be in the unit for purposes of bargaining, was felt to be
an improper restriction on the rights of employees if they desired to join
an association and be represented by that association. He cited as an ex-
ample a jailer, who is not a sworn member of the Police Department, but
whose duties are peculiar to the Police Department, and thus it is felt
they should be allowed to be represented by the Police Association, and
the clerks and typists who occasionally serve as matron and perform some
police services also should be represented by the Police Association.
John O'Malley, Staff Representative for the Anaheim Municipal Em-
ployees Association, stated the A.M.E.A. endorsed the remarks of the Police
and Fire Association representatives and presented a letter from John H.
Sanders, President of A.M.E.A., dated May 2 1972, expressing objection to
the lack of impasse procedure in the proposed Ordinance and submitting a
recommended revision.

The letter concluded with the statement that the A.M.E.A., with
the exceptions noted in subject letter, withdrew the unimplemented sugges-
tions presented on August 2, 1971.
Mr. O'Malley, referring to the concern expressed earlier by the
Council on final determination, stated their suggested wording could be
amended further to where the City Council could have a multiplicity of
options that there could be an impasse procedure where the City Council
could take any one of the suggested methods for utilizing that without
having to go immediately to arbitration.
Personnel Director Garry McRae stated they had had discussions
with the representative organizations all through the preparation of this
Ordinance and feel the Ordinance as presented now represents the thinking
of all parties.
Referring to an impasse procedure, Mr. McRae stated he felt me-
diation was possible within the framework of this Ordinance as now presen-
ted. He added it was his opinion that to have mediation included as a
step in the Meet and Confer process mitigates the obligations of the par-
ties to such agreement.
He further stated that Fact Finding, which employs the techni-
que of a third party to evaluate the arguments and make recommendations,
also assumes a neutral position on the part of the City Council, whereas
it was his opinion the City Council was the policy- determining body for
the management team in the Meet and Confer process; that communication
between the management team and City Council or between the employee or-
ganizations and employees is the responsibility of those persons at the
bargaining table and fact finding tends to remove that responsibility and
thus -defer the decision making process.
Referring to binding arbitration, Mr. McRae stated that, although
some cities employ this procedure, he could not recommend it since he felt
it completely abrogates the responsibility of the parties to reach an agree-
ment.
The City Attorney, replying to discussion on fact finding, ad-
vised that this is not precluded in the proposed ordinance since the City
Council has authority to order it, although the bargaining parties them-
selves cannot; however, if the two parties come to a talk impasse, they
may mutually agree to mediation. He added that an impasse procedure also
can be ordered by the City Council.
In reply to Councilman Thom, Mr. Geisler advised that if an im-
passe procedure is built into the proposed ordinance, it then could be
possible for either party to utilize that to the point of never accomp-
lishing anything.
Councilman Thom stated that in conversations with some employee
organizations, they had alleged that management takes an impasse position
immediately in discussion.
Mr. McRae acknowledged that that position has been taken on the
point of binding arbitration, to which they are opposed.
Mr. Mur&ch noted that in negotiations a few years ago, State
Mediation representatives had offered to mediate something they had just
started discussing and had had no indication mediation would be necessary;
that the matter was solved between the two bargaining parties.
He stated he felt negotiations in the past have been successful
for both parties, and he did not think an impasse procedure was necessary.
Councilman Sneegas commented that he felt the Meyers- Milias-
Brown Act was driving management and employee organizations farther apart
rather than closer together, as originally intended.

In reply to Councilman Sneegas, Mr. McRae advised it was his opinion
the proposed Ordinance complies with the spirit and the letter of the Meyers
Milias -Brown Act.
Brown Act.
Councilman Thom stated he would like to review the Meyers- Milias-
Councilman Stephenson declared he would not delegate to anyone any
authority of his as a representative of Anaheim where money, taxes, etc., are
concerned,. and, as long as the Council is the fact finding body that makes
the final decision, he saw no reason to go through the expense and time- consum-
ing processes of mediation and fact finding.
ONDINANCE NO. 3040: Councilman Stephenson offered Ordinance No. 3040 for
first reading.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 1 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL
CODE BY ADDING THERETO CHAPTER 1.06 RELATING TO EMPLOYER EMPLOYEE RELATIONS.
Mr. McRae stated that the Ordinance was written to attempt to avoid
the problems confronted in 1970 over who represented whom; that the essential
purpose of the Ordinance is to provide a reasonable and appropriate means of
representation so that the City management representative is not forced into
a position of making unilateral decisions in the middle of negotiations about
who represents whom.
Councilman Sneegas stated he felt there was a discrepancy in the
proposed Ordinance in that it is supposed to fulfill the principal objectives
of the Meyers- Milias -Brown Act, promoting the improvement of employer employee
relations by providing a uniform basis for recognizing the right of City em-
ployees to join organizations of their choice and be represented by such or-
ganizations in their employment relationships with the City; yet the Ordinance
says somebody else is going to decide who is going to represent whom. He added
that he felt the jailers, secretaries and other Police Department employees
should have the right to be represented by the Police Association if they so
desire, and thus it was his opinion the proposed Ordinance did not fulfill the
purpose for which it was intended.
Mr. McRae noted that the Police Association at this time is not ac-
cepting membership from non -sworn Police employees.
Mr. Murdoch stated there was some urgency that the Ordinance be fi-
nalized within a reasonable time, and thus he recommended that the Council re-
view the proposed Ordinance the coming week and convey to him any changes they
would like made so there could be an amended first reading of the Ordinance
at the next meeting if any changes are to be made.
FREEDOM i HOMER WALK: The City Clerk submitted report of the Police Department
relative to the request made at the April 25, 1972 meeting for permission and
proclamation for a 30 -mile Walkathon, Nay 13, 1972,for the purpose of raising
funds for the American Freedom From Hunger Foundation.
Also submitted was request made to the Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment for permission to use La Palma Park Stadium in connection with the pro-
posed Walkathon, and report of the Parks and Recreation Department that the
City's cost for this request would be $49.50, plus clean-up.
In reply to Council questioning, the City Attorney advised that the
107. limit is for collection cost and not' administrative cost, and .thus the
intent of the Applicant to use 15% of funds received for administration cost
would be permissible.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Thom, the
requested Walkathon was approved, subject to final arrangements with the Police
Dspartasnt and with the Parks and Recreation.Dspartment for use of La Palma
Stadium and a proclamation was authorized therefor. To this motion, Council-
men Dutton voted "No, .stating that although he thought the students should
