PU)LIC BEARING FISCAL YRAR 1972 -73 BUDGET: Public hearing was held on the pro-
posed 1972 -73 Budget for the City of Anaheim, in accordance with legal notice
thereof published in the Anaheim Bulletin on May 25, 1972. Following is the
Budget message of the City Manager:
"To the City Council and the Citizens of Anaheim:
The proposed operating budget for fiscal year 1972 -73 outlines a
reasonable program of activity. It requires no tax rate increase from the
present low $1.05 rate. It calls for no increases in utility or sanitation
rates, although there probably will be some increases in fees and charges for
development in order to recover the pertinent costs. There are no new reve-
nue sources requested.
This is partially because of the City Council's recognition of the
need to provide additional revenue last November. It is partially due to the
effect of long -term financing of water and electrical capital expenditures.
It is partially because of a conttpued economic growth in the community, par
ticularly in tourist and visitor activity. It is partially because of the
Public Employment Program (PEP) f4tng of jobs not otherwise within Anaheim's
financial capality, and it is particularly due to a substantial increase in
electrical demnd.

The program recognizes the need to provide services to a growing
population (5.67, last year, 9,800 people). More importantly it recognizes
the demand fora greater quantity of service for residents and for visitors.
This demand shows up particularly in the projected increases in revenue from
electrical service ($3,516,500 or 24 Room Occupancy Tax ($260,000 or 16.9%),
and Convention Center activity ($274,700 or 25.0 These three sources to-
gether with increased water revenue of $450,000, and $520,000 from Federal
Grants (mainly PEP) total more than 5 million dollars. Other increases in
revenue are expected to occur from various fees, permits and charges related
to new construction of homes and commercial buildings; about $237,000 ot 47.
from property taxes the increase due to last year's construction activity;
$273,000 from current State Sales Tax plus anouther $315,000 from Sales Tax
on gasoline provided by Senate Bill 325. This latter amount is intended for
environmental enhancement in cooperation with the County of Orange and other
cities within the County.
The activity reflected by these revenue surges requires additional
expenditures to meet the activity, but leaves a balance which enables Anaheim
to provide a very workable program as well.
The budget total is $50,717,723, an increase of 12.7% above last
year's allocation as supplemented by City Council action Nov. 16, 1971. This
includes a contingency of 1/2 of 1% or $250,000.
Since quite a few of the activities listed are either being provided
or supplemented in order to help relieve unemployment, and hence are depend-
ent upon the use of PEP funds, they likely will be discontinued or reduced
if such funds are not available as expected.
This year, the budget format was revised so that all accounts now
include the salary supplements (fringe benefits). This change brings us clo-
ser to the goal of functional budgeting to include all costs relative to each
function. It is still questionable whether a complete cost accounting sys
tem is worth the accounting cost, but this major portion of functional costs
will be shown. Unfortunately, this major change makes direct comparison be-
tween this year's and last year's accounts, from the budget documents alone,
a very misleading comparison.
We believe this change is substantially beneficial and that the
short term inconvenience of direct yearly comparison is outweighed by the
juxtaposition of salary supplement data and its appropriate function.
The proposed budget provides for those salaries and salary supple-
ments (fringe benefits) previously approved by the City Council, but does not
include any changes which may result from forthcoming meetings and confer-
ences with employee organizations. Any such changes would require Council
approval before they could become effective.
The proposed budgeted program includes many activities worthy
of noting:
POLICE: I would like to quote Chief Michel in his budget statement.
'It is important that a contemporary Police Department respond to
the needs of the community. The new programs established by the Anaheim
Police Department during the past few years have been of value in this ef-
fort. The Ride- Along Program gives High School students the opportunity to
observe, first hand, the responsibilities of the Police officer, thereby
dispelling many misconceptions and providing an increased level of under-
standing for both the officer and the student. School Resource Officers
have been highly effective in developing more positive measures to improve
attitudes toward law enforcement. The Special Enforcement Bureau has pro-
vided concentrated repressive efforts and preventative measures in areas of
high crime incidence. The potential of the Cadet Program is promising; it
has proven to be a valuable aid to recruitment by giving the Department an
opportunity to evaluate a young man's potential and enabling the Cadet to
appraise his future career.
The Anaheim Police Helicopter is now a familiar sight, tn the skies
over our city, and during 1971 helicopter patrol may, in part, be credited
with reductions in the number of strongarm and weapon robberies (down 10%
from 1970), auto burglaries (down 15% from 1970) and commercial burglaries
72-350
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES June 6. 1972. 1:30 P.M.
(down 10% from 1970). In the field of traffic safety a computerized traffic
records /management information system, enabling the Police Department to ana-
lyze the causes of traffic collisions and the effectiveness of personnel al-
location, is being implemented with the assistance of Federal funding.
During the next year, new programs are planned, including a con
centrated residential education, inspection, and patrol program designed to
give the citizens of Anaheim the opportunity to assist in protecting their
own property. Through educational Seminars and lectures by Police person
nel, citizens may learn methods of improving the security of their property
by physical planning, and be made aware of the'importance of neighborhood
cooperation in recognizing and reporting suspicious circumstances to the
Police.'
This year's budget allows for the addition of nineteen officers
and five non -sworn persons. PEP funding provides for 17 of these positions
which we hope to retain at the conclusion of the program. This additional
personnel should help to reduce response time by patrol units, add another
policewoman to the Detective Division, add another school to the Resource
Officer Program and increase crime prevention educational activity.
The total increase in the Police Department budget is $1,755,257,
but that includes approximately $1,306,000 of salary supplements previously
budgeted separately. Hence, the true increase is close to 10% plus the PEP
employees.
The budget anticipates a continuation of the helicopter patrol
based upon the indicated crime reduction trend in those areas where such
patrol can be expected to be effective. In addition, the assists in pos-
sible unlawful assemblies, lost child search, and.several other areas are
desirable.
UHF radio equipment will be installed in Anaheim in conjunction
with the rest of Orange County this year. The budget includes the second
installment of $39,733.
Very little equipment to increase effectiveness is budgeted. If
revenue sharing becomes available, such funds should provide relief to allow
purchase of several valuable tools for police work, such as color photo pro-
cessing system and equipment, metal detector, binocular camera, searchlight
kits, etc.
FRB: Although the Fire Department budget shows an increase of $938,331,
all but $150,000 of that is fringe benefit cost. The budget provides for a
full -time clerk in the Prevention Division, but no other additional person-
nel. Chief Riley recommends, waiting until a current staff study is completed
before constructing any new stations and hence before adding additional per-
sonnel. This study includes possible joint response districts with neighbor-
ing cities. The budget does include purchase of one new station site, either
for relocation of the temporary station on Piney Drive at Santa Ana Canyon
Road or one further east in the developing hill area, whichever becomes most
essential. A shift in rescue responsibility to engine companies with rescue
equipment should increase effectiveness without increasing manpower.
ADIISTRATION: There are no significant changes in the budgets for the
City Council, City Manager, Personnel Department, City Attorney, City Clerk,
Community Promotion, Research, Audit, Stadium or Disaster Services.
The Public Information budget shows a slight increase in Newsletter
costs to serve the additional population, because of increased postage rates,
and for contract rather than in -house printing. Six issues of 65,000 copies
each are planned.
CUj3RAL ARTS: Operation and maintenance of Horace Mann Cultural Center are
provided. The parking lot improvement was provided from 1971-72 budgeted
funds.
city Hall. Anaheim California COUNCIL MINUTES June 6. 1972. 1:30 P.M.
OFFICE SPACE: Two significant items are proposed for the non departmental
account. The office space situation for city activities is deplorable.
The severe overcrowding is obvious to anyone visiting City Hall, Parks
and Recreation or the Utilities Building at 518 South Anaheim Boulevard.
Customers visiting Customer Services experience a squeezed in situation
with no privacy available for their business conversations. So, this
year's budget provides $125,000 for office space rental and remodeling.
We propose a series of interim moves which will improve service to citi-
zens and customers and relieve the overcrowding somewhat. We also pro-
pose to develop a program for staged construction of an office facility.
Both the interim and staged plans will be submitted to the Council for
further consideration.
72-351
The other new item continues participation in the Technology
Transfer Program, but continuation now requires financial participation
in research and testing.
DATA PROCESSING: During the past year extensive changes have been made
in data processing operations. These efforts include: formation of a
data processing steering committee, reorganization of the Division and
realignment of staff into project or task teams, establishing data security
measures, re- evaluation of hardware requirements and adjustment of char-
ges to other cities and departments. By far the most concentrated effort,
however, has been the reprogramming and redesign of major data processing
systems. New personnel management and new budgetary accounting systems
will be implemented on July 1 and a new utility billing system will go
on line in October. All other Anaheim systems have been converted into
IBM 360 program language.
This budget continues to take advantage of the PEP program to
develop new systems. During the year a data processing master plan will
be developed, feasibility studies will be conducted for new applications
and for "canned" programs which may be adapted for our use and additional
emphasis placed on multiprogramming.
A target has been set to convert two new major systems to ma-
chine operation. The priority systems will be determined by the steering
committee representing the users.
A summary of the program handled by data processing is included
in Account 100 -244.
We expect a 20% workload increase due mainly to the additional
utility customers expected, the implementation of the Integrated Traffic
Records System for Police, implementation of the Personnel Management
System and the new Budget and Accounting Information System. Only one
new permanent position, a keypunch operator, is requested, but additional
part -time operators will be required at various peak periods.
Rental of equipment and software is up 7%, and supply costs are
up 5 The principle increase in this account, as in all others, however,
is the inclusion of fringe benefits.
FINANCE: The Finance Department, which includes the Director's Office,
Accounting, Purchasing and Stores, Collections, Treasury and Licenses,
shows an effective increase of 6.8 The addition of one clerk in Ac-
counting should help maintain the new accounts set up for water, elec-
trical, trusts and long-term debts. $16,000 is provided to go with the
amount set up this year so that the Purchasing Building can be enlarged
to accommodate the cramped printing and duplicating operation.
The Treasurer's Division shows an increase due to Trustee char-
ges for handling Electric and Water Revenue Bonds.
PLANNING AND ZONING: Development Services has run into an unacceptable
backlog in zoning. Partial and temporary relief was provided by nearly
stopping all planning activity. The new budget does provide for two ad-
ditio nal planners to enable restoration of service to the public and to
the Council. In addition, we have added $19,385 as requested by the Re-
development Commission.
72-352
City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES June 6. 1972. 1:30 P.M.
There are several planning projects that are becoming critical.
State law now requires the following general plan elements: housing, open
space and conservation, seismic, and noise. We have none of these in ade-
quate form. The cost analysis for Conditional Use Permits, Variances, Re-
classifications requested by the Council is not complete. Various other
studies needed for Council policy determination such as undergrounding of
12 RV electrical lines, parkway standards, service stations, no=r conforming
sign amortization, use of freeway remnants, methods of financing open space
and landscape maintenance, and any other have been stalled to fill the zon-
ing processing pressure. The proposed budget will get these moving again.
WILDING: Last year the value of building permits issued was $70,869,516,
third highest year in Anaheim's history. In the first four months of 1972,
the City issued permits for $37,158,166. In the first four months, 229,000
square feet of industrial and 616,000 square feet of commercial buildings
were started. Projections and firm plans from major Anaheim firms alone show
an additional 685,000 square feet planned. Although no additional manpower
has been requested for plan checking and inspection, we may have to beef up
this staff, if building activity surges much more.
STADIUM: There is little change anticipated. We are continuing with the re-
surfacing of concourses and rest rooms and are getting additional preventive
maintenance painting done with PEP employees. Other than that, we are hold-
ing to minimum activity.
CONV1NTI0t CENTER: This is an active area. Anaheim hosted 167 conventions
with 229,500 delegates using 50,744 rooms and spending $36,720,000 while they
were here. Two-thirds of that activity, or $24,408,000 was directly due to
conventions in the Center. Next year confirmed bookings show fewer conven-
tions, but more delegates (284,805). Hence, more rooms will be occupied
(74,367) and more money brought into and spent in Anaheim ($45,568,000); 70%
of that activity is for conventions scheduled in the Center Building. Mean-
while other events continue to show high demand and good attendance, allowing
the facility to operate in the black. Room Occupancy Tax revenue, meanwhile,
covers amortization of the facility and the convention sales activity handled
by the Visitors and Convention Bureau.
Space requirements beleaguer the Convention Center staff, however.
We plan to reduce filing space by microfilming, but the initial cost requires
an outlay of about $3,000. There is no suitable alternative.
In preparing for the new addition, we have included $7,000 for trees
and shrubs and a slight increase in the sign painting budget. The payments
on the Schroeder property $123,250 principal and interest) are greater than
the previous rental only. This amount is completely covered on the revenue
side by lease payments from Royal Inn ($160,000). The carpet replacement
program will start this year with a $50,000 program. We also propose to ter
razo or quarry tile the floors at one concession stand and the concessions
kitchen. Purchases of additional sound equipment and hoist for the Arena
cluster, booth wiring equipment, additional tables and chairs, and some other
items for tenant rental are proposed on five or seven year purchase plan.
$20,000 is included for this year's portion.
The additional 100,000 square feet of Exhibition Hall and 30,000
square feet of new meeting rooms will,be under construction this year. Lease
payments to cover bond retirement for the addition will also be paid from the
Room Occupancy Tax, but none is due this coming year.
LIBRARY: Although no provision is made for branch libraries this year upon
the assumption that the voters have indicated this expansion as not sufficient
priority in previous bond elections, interest still is strong. The Library
Program does include restoration of the Film and Record Program and a Pilot
Program in cooperation with the Anaheim Union High School District to provide
an evening library service at one high school, probably Loara. We will be
adding shelving in the closed stack, children's room and circulation areas,
and adding a card catalog unit. Also, a substantial parking lot addition
will be provided at the Haskett Branch on West Broadway.
PUBLIC BORIS: This Department carries a very heavy workload efficiently and
effectively.

City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES June 6, 1972. 1:30 P.M.
No new employees are currently requested for Property Mainten-
ance, but we will have to provide service to Horace Mann Cultural Arts
Center and the proposed additional office space from those respective
budgets.
Mechanical Maintenance takes care of 665 vehicles. and 270 other
pieces of motorized equipment. A high priority for 1973-74 will be to re-
locate this activity into larger quarters closer to the bulk of the equip-
ment to be maintained. Present facilities are frequently filled with ve-
hicles awaiting slow -to- obtain parts. This greater restricts working space
to the point that we couldn't maintain any more vehicles even if we had
more personnel. There is no place for them to work. We feel that we can
live with the situation another year, but should make the move at the ear-
liest opportunity.
With the help of PEP, the Street Maintenance Division is now re-
surfacing and seal coating streets at the rate of eight million square feet
per year. This Division is responsible for the Alley Reconstruction Pro-
gram currently moving at the rate of 2 miles per year, also with the help
of PEP.
Sewer maintenance, however, needs a preventive maintenance pro-
gram. We feel that we can live with the present program for one more year,
unless Federal Revenue Sharing is adopted. In that case, sewer cleaning
should take high priority. Likewise, purchase of a vacuum catch -basin
cleaner and purchase or lease of a dump site for non combustibles should
take top consideration.
Refuse Collection, primarily a contract operation, shows a
$230,000 (27.27.) increase. This is partially due to an increase in con-
tract rates following labor contracts early last fiscal year. The remain-
der is due to increased service area and stops.
In Parkway Maintenance there also are no new personnel. We do
propose a 20x93 foot building addition. The urgency is to provide adequate
rest room facilities for forty -two people now served by two toilets and
two basins. A shower stall will be included mainly for employees working
with chemicals. The remaining area will be used for tool room, training
room and storage space.
We will need to add to this crew in '73-74 to handle the tree
trimming for the expanding electrical facility expected to be complete
early in that fiscal year.
STREET CONSTRUCTION: The major street construction and improvement pro
jects for fiscal year 1972 -73 total $913,000. The largest project is Con-
vention Way Clementine. It will relieve some of the congestion in the Ka-
tella- Harbor area. This project includes a storm drain and other improve-
ments to be reimbursed by property owners when they develop adjacent lands.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION: All sewers will be installed with Sewer Construction
funds paid by developers of unimproved properties. We expect at least
$152,900 of fees to be paid in this year. This will be added to the funds
on hand to extend sewers to unserved areas.
STORM DRAIN CONSTRUCTION: The only new drains proposed for this year are
relatively minor and are in conjunction with street projects for a total
of $115,000. Only $70,000 of general fund monies are devoted to this pur-
pose. Here again, is a high priority for Revenue Sharing if it becomes
available. The deficiency of major drains is too large to eliminate through
pay as-you-go financing without severe curtailment of other programs.
ELECTRIC UTILITY: This is an area of substantial budget increase.
$2,200,000 of the $3,346,817 total increase is for the purchase of elec-
tricity, mostly for resale. Resale provides a very favorable revenue /ex-
pense ratio. Hence, as increase of this magnitude is welcome.
72-354
City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES June 6. 1972. 1:30 P.M.
Preparation for buying and operating the remaining Edison Company
distribution facilities in Anaheim requires manpower for estimating, taking
inventory, transferring records, upgrading parts of the purchased system,
and integrating the two systems. Some of this cost will be paid from reve-
nue bond funds. The remainder is budgeted in the electric utility budget.
The purchase will add another 15,000 customers to the system, increasing
the system by 1/3.
This budget also includes payments for Revenue Bond principal, in-
terest, and reserve totalling $910,350, entirely from electric utility reve-
nue.
We expect to convert the electrical utility portion of the radio
communications to UHF. This will provide greatly improved communication,
particularly by eliminating the "dead spots" occurring with the present sys-
tem. Conversion will enable the Water Division to separately utilize the
present system for the next few years. Bond funds will be used for this con-
version.
Bond funds will also be used for constructing Phase IV of the Utili-
ties Service Center Building in conjunction with the Water Division at 901
East Vermont Street. The addition will enable completion of the transfer
of field personnel from 518 South Anaheim Boulevard and from the Mechanical
Maintenance Yard.
It will also provide transfer of the meter shop, installation of a
testing area for electrical materials and equipment, and for an electrical
maintenance shop for transformers and other electrical equipment.
WAT0 UTILITY: For several years we have been letting maintenance slide in
favor of construction. We cannot wisely continue that practice. Therefore,
Gus Lenain and Larry Sears, recently retired and present superintendent re-
spectively, have provided additional personnel to improve the maintenance
program. Valves, pumps and meters will particularly receive attention.
As previously mentioned, considerably more water will be pumped,
treated and purchased, thereby increasing the expenditure for this commod-
ity.
The construction of Phase IV of the Utility Service Center will
provide for the moving of the laboratory and the meter shop, and will pro-
vide a maintenance shop for water equipment.
CUST9ME1 SERVICE: The workload on this Division, which has the responsibil
ity of billing and managing all customer accounts and credit, has increased
steadily as the City has grown and demand for utility service has grown still
more. We have been able to keep up reasonably with this growth through pro-
gram techniques, equipment and use of part -time personnel. In order to keep
from getting seriously behind in meter reading, billing, and other services,
we must add to the permanent manpower this year. Additionally, the new cus-
tomer services for the Edison purchase will require help. These requirements
are included in the proposed budget.
PARKS: We propose to add one person to the Design Section so that we can get
ahead of the construction program with a better analysis of each recreation
or open space facility potential. Addition of PEP employment has accelerated
in this responsibility. Maintenance costs increase with additional manpower,
equipment and materials as new acreage is added to the developed park system.
We are planning the purchase of a 7-acre park on Riverdale west
of Lakeview and some additional lands on the Nohl Ranch from funds paid by
developers. We must also be alert to the need for adding to John Marshall
Park if building activity appears imminent. No provision is made in the
budget for this acquisition this year.
Director John Collier expects to have Manzanita Park along the Ri-
verside Freeway west of Harbor constructed this year. He also plans to start
improving Twi1a Reid Park on Orange Avenue east of Western. Hansen Park south

of Ball Road should be completed. Baseball lighting at Brookhurst Park
is planned. Restrooms are planned for Boysen Park on South State College
and Vermont, and at La Palma Park adjacent to the picnic area. There is
improvement scheduled also at Olive Hills, Modjeska, Pioneer and Ponderosa.
We have also included shop and warehouse expansion at the Central Yard.
There is a great deal of development yet to be done to provide
a complete park system, but the present pace is appropriate to Anaheim's
ability to absorb the upkeep costs.
i• The Parks and Recreation Commission has strongly recommended
an upgrading of responsible leadership at the various high school and jun-
ior high facilities. This budget provides the first increment of the re-
commendation. It also provides for the recommended greater emphasis. on
programming for girls and womens activities.
The proposed budget will add neighborhood playground activities
at Nohl Ranch School, Powell Elementary, and Horace Mann. It will add
junior high club school year programs at Oxford and Vista Del Rio.
The Commission also recommends increased activity in tennis, free
music lessons in the elementary schools, and the revival of a community
band. These items are not in the proposed budget.
This Division also conducts a federally financed program for m
nority and low income areas. No funds need be added for this purpose.
GOLF CQIIRSES: The Golf Course budget provides for continued operation of
the Anaheim Municipal Course on Gilbert north of Lincoln. This course was
built along the Carbon Canyon Creek along a flood damaged area. Much of it
is a secondary useful adaptation of flood control properties. Play is ap-
parently back to normal, after a drop primarily due to the drop in aero-
space industry employment.
The Anaheim Hills Course is expected to open 18 holes October 1,
1972. This course also utilized a creek channel, preserving Walnut Canyon
Creek close to its natural but sometimes turbulent setting. A portion of
the course also utilized land under the high voltage transmission lines
bringing Edison Company power to Orange County.
We will attempt to operate the course with the same manpower as
the present course, but will utilize the two crews wherever most needed.
The budget for this course includes purchase of some initial
equipment $75,322. It also provides for completion of the first 18 holes.
No time schedule has been set for the 3rd 9 holes, since that will depend
upon demand for play.
Although a maintenance building will be needed soon, this item
is not proposed for this budget.
jON:, Altogether, I believe this budget represents an activity
in accord with the general policies of the City Council and desires of the
citizenry. Obviously, it does not provide for all of the activities de-
sired. It does, in my opinion, provide a good balance of present necessi-
ties supplemented by a reasonable share of projects for current betterment
and for future citizens. I, therefore, recommend it to you.

Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council.
George ICerdus, 1737 Redwood, Anaheim, asked for and received a
verifftation of the 20- million dollar figure for salaries and wages. Mr.
Kerdus asked if the statement in an Anaheim Bulletin article is-correct;
72-356
City Hall. Ayeim. C4i#or COUNCIL HUMS June 1972. 1:39 P.M.
that average take -home pay of the residents of Anaheim is $11,848.00 per year
and that it would cost an average family of four approximately $1,200.00 per
year to finance the projected 50- million dollar budget.
City Manager Keith Murdoch replied that the $1,200.00 cost per fam-
ilv of four is incorrect; that only approximately 127. of the total budget comes
from property taxes and a substantial portion of that is paid by business and
industry, approximately 117. is derived from the City Sales Tax of lc per $100.
In reply to Mr. Kerdus' request, Mr. Murdoch informed him a brief
synopsis of the budget would be available to the general public.
Mr. Kerdus stated he felt the salaries of City officials should be
decided by a vote of the people and requested that the public hearings on bud-
get proposals be held in the evening so more citizens could attend.
Councilman Dutton compared Anaheim to a corporation, and corpora-
tion officers' salaries are not put to the vote of stockholders; that the
citizens of Anaheim have shown very little interest in Budget hearings even
when evening meetings have been scheduled.
In reply to a query by Mr. Kerdus, Mr. Murdoch advised that the pay-
ments of principal, interest and reserve on the 8- million dollar bond issue
for the Convention Center expansion would appear in the budget; however, the
money to pay for these is derived from the Room Occupancy Tax.
Mr. Kerdus recommended the proposed budget be put to a vote of .the
residents.
Councilman Pebley stated the voters elect Councilmen they think
will adopt a satisfactory budget and run the City in the best interests of
the people. He added that he felt Anaheim's $1.05 tax rate and the overall
total tax of $10.25 per $100.00 of assessed valuation, which includes schools,
County and Districts, is very reasonable.
Councilman Dutton noted that revenues of 23-million dollars from
utilities will pay for a portion of the budget.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone else wished to address the Council;
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
W. Murdoch advised that almost all department heads and several
key division heads were present to answer any questions.
Council discussion followed, wherein it was determined additional
time would be required to study the budget before any further discussion would
be constructive.
Councilman Thom asked that the public hearing be reopened to allow
questions by citizens at later meetings on the budget, whereupon Mayor Dutton
declared the public hearing reopened.
ISIION: On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
public hearing on the proposed fiscal year 1972 -73 Budget was continued to
June 27, 1972, 1:30 P.M. MOTION CARRIED.
A work session on the budget was set for 10 :00 A.M., June 13, 1972,
and the Council indicated particular interest in discussing Utilities, Parks
and Recreation, Golf Course and Police proposals.
W. Murdoch noted that two area newspapers had printed fairly large
portions of the budget and suggested the Anaheim Bulletin would help the citi-
zens of Anaheim by doing the same.
Joan Geyer, reporter for the Anaheim Bulletin, advised the paper
plans to write a series of stories, taking one part of the budget at a time,
including the fact that they have been unable to obtain salaries of other
than the thirteen department heads.

City Attorney Joseph Geisler advised that the Anaheim Bulletin has
a copy of all the salary ranges in the City, including the number of people
employed for each classification; however, each individual employee has the
prerogative to either disclose or withhold information on his personal sal-
ary.
ANAHEIII YQUTH COUNCIL COMMUNITY CENTERS: Request of Candi Lyman, Secretary, was
submitted for the Anaheim Youth Council to address the City Council re Conn
munity Centers.
Mayor Dutton invited representatives of the Youth Council to ad-
dress the City Council.
Pamela Gibbons, 1273 North Siesta Street (Cornelia Connally School)
presented a Resolution of the Youth Council to offer a two -part plan for build-
ing and financing Community Centers in Anaheim for youth and adult recreation
and distributed copies of the Resolution and plan.
Miss Gibbons stated these documents were presented in answer to the
City Council's former request for recommendations on how to finance the pro-
posed centers and advised that the blank spaces in the plan were to be filled
in jointly by the Youth Council and City Council.
She advised it was recommended that the $575,000.0 cost of the pro-
posed Community Centers be reimbursed to the City over a number of years
through membership dues and rentals of the facilities; that many students
would volunteer to assist, but supervision and janitorial service would be
the responsibility of Parks and Recreation.
In reply to Council comments, Miss Gibbons suggested dances and
other youth activities in the,Community Centers would be more successful
than in school gymnasiums or cafeterias or La Palma Park Recreation Build-
ing because the students would sponsor them themselves.
John Schaefer, 2769 Vermont Avenue (Katella High School) stated the
acoustics in school gymnasiums do not lend themselves to dances.
In reply to Councilman Sneegas, Miss Gibbons advised it was esti-
mated the buildings could be paid for over approximately a 10 -year period.
Councilman Sneegas expressed the opinion consideration of Commun-
ity Centers should be deferred until it is known how much the planned Cul-
tural Arts Center facilities are used, which would be available for similar
purposes. He added he felt the Community Center idea was more in the realm
of something for private organizations, such as churches, to undertake.
Mr. Schaefer stated there probably were only four churches in Ana-
heim that could provide such facilities.
In reply to Councilman Sneegas, Mr. Schaefer advised that there is
Community Center in Buena Park at the present time.
Daniel Aisen, 7047 Santa Ana Circle, Buena Park (Western High
School) advised that the cost of the Buena Park Recreation Center was $165,000,
it was financed by the city and is located on city property; that the facil-
ity is in complete use almost continuously.
Referring to the plan presented, Mr. Aisen estimated it would take
anywhere from six months to three years to raise the $300,000.00 which they
propose to submit to the City, at which time they would expect construction
to begin on the Centers. He asked that the Council make a promise that upon
receipt of the $300,000.00 and 25,000 signatures in favor of the Centers, they
would authorize construction.
Mr. Alen stated that the Buena Park Recreation Center, which is
located in the southern portion of the city and not readily accessible to a
large number of students, has 250 to 300 members who pay $2.00 per year dues;
that it is comprised of a group of separate buildings, 'whereas Anaheim's would
be one large building capable of being divided into smaller rooms.

City Hejl, Anahem. California- COUNCIL MINITTEI June 1972. 1:30 P.M.
In response to Council questioning, the students advised that plans
are for a small kitchen facility in the Centers, but not capable of handling
large luncheons or banquets; that although several students have cars, they
usually arrive at school one person to a car so not too many students have
transportation; that in discussion with the High School District Board, the
Board was in favor of the Centers proposed to be located on school property
only on condition that they be limited to student use only; however, it was
their intention that the Centers also be available for adult recreation.
Mr. Aisen, in discussing means of financing, suggested an Admissions
Tax could be levied for funds, or the Cigarette Tax. He noted that Downey had
raised 21-million dollars in about 41 years by way of a cigarette tax.
Councilman Thom stated he concurred with the idea of Community Cen-
ters; however, he would like to see a pilot project undertaken first as was
discussed in earlier meetings, and suggested the Youth Council consider the
possibility of obtaining $43,000.00 and 2,500 signatures for one Center, which
then could be built, and if that was successful a second could be built later,
and so on.
Miss Gibbons felt that this procedure would be a lengthy one in view
of the fact that about three years already has been spent considering the idea,
and added that the students want a Center in their neighborhood and not have to
travel a long way to get to one.
Councilman Sneegas stated he would like to see the Youth Council use
the funds they raise or have now, rent a building and operate a Center for a
year, to see if they can be successful. He noted a great many private parties
operating dances as a business have had their ventures fail after a couple of
years.
Mr. Schaefer asked that the Council consider their proposal and then
review City Budgets to see if some money can be found to construct the build-
ings.
He suggested that the City erect the first building after the first
$125,000.00 has been raised by the students, and then consider erecting the
rest of the Centers while the balance of the $300,000.00 is being raised.
He asked that the Council meet in private sessions with the Youth
Council to work out their problems.
Mayor Dutton thanked the students for their presentation and ad-
vised that the Council'would give their proposal earnest consideration.

Councilman Thom advised he felt this ordinance was discrimina-

that adopting the ordinance implied a fear of competition on the part of
the Councilmen.
Councilman Dutton commented that complaints about "politicking"
had been expressed in the recent Councilman campaign, and thus he felt the
ordinance would be in the best interests of the people and fair to property
developers. He added he felt any person appointed to a City Commission or
Board should complete his term of service prior to running for the Council.
Councilman Sneegas stated he felt the requirement as proposed in
the ordinance would place all Council candidates on a more equal basis.
Councilman Stephenson indicated he was in favor of the ordinance
because it was his opinion candidates still serving on a City appointed
Commission or Board make many unqualified statements that cast an unjusti-
fied reflection on the operation of the City.

Councilman Stephenson re-
ported on proposed annexation of approximately, 1,100 acres. cad Anaheim Hills
to Sanitation District No. 2, and advi that the .12 ineb Olive Trunk Line
carrying sewage is used to near capacity during certain periods of the day,
and thus the Sanitation District is planning to install a holding tank that
would delay passage of sewage during these peak periods until a time when
the line is not in such great demand.
He further advised that the District has requested that Anaheim
give serious consideration to changing the size of the water closet tanks
for this area from four gallons to a lesser capacity to cut down on the flow
of water and sewage.
Councilman Stephenson read a report from the Engineering Department
advising that all Orange County cities, with the exception of Orange, follow
the Uniform Plumbing Code, which calls for a four gallon tank.
Mr.. Murdoch stated he understood this subject was considered by
the Uniform Building Code Committee this year, and since the reduced tank
size has not been incorporated in the Uniform Plumbing Code thus far, it was
his assumption they were not in favor of it.
He added that, in his opinion, when the annexation fees are paid
on a property, that owner should be eligible for service on an equal basis
with other portions of the community.
By general Council consent, the matter was referred to the Engin-
eering and Building Departments for further study and recommendation.

"In a few humble words I will say that in the past 36 years of
association and working for the City, the cooperation of everyone has been
tremendous. There were small differences but these paved the way for bet-
ter understanding and cooperation from all the City Departments.
As a Native Son, I am happy that I had a small part in building
the City of Anaheim to an important City recognized, not only in the United
States, but throughout the World.
I'll always cherish the moments at my Retirement Party and to
the Council's Resolution, along with the many others presented to me that
night.
I am grateful for the opportunities given to me by the City dur-
ing my tenure and to work with certainly the finest people I know.
Again, many thanks."

Mr. George Edwards reported that as a result of the study made
last year on the electrical utilities in the Canyon area, requests were
received from the City Council and City Planning Commission to explore
the feasibility and costs to underground electrical facilities in this
area. He stated the problem is becoming acute and developments are being
delayed and temporarily served pending the outcome and decision regarding
an undergrounding policy in the area. He further advised that Pacific
Telephone is also concerned that a policy decision be reached as it af-
fects their extensions and conversions.
Mr. Edwards stated the study was made in conjunction with the
Development Services staff. Costs were reviewed with FHA and the Depart-
ment of Housing Urban Development (HUD), and FHA has filed a letter with
the Development Services Department to the effect that it appears apprais-
als can recognize the additional value of individual properties as result
of underground electrical feeder lines.

City Hill. Seim. CaWornta wicp, N IUm Jyne 6. 1972. 7:30 P.M.
Mr. Edwards reported that the study made in 1971 was made on in-
definite plans, and because of that, the current study was based on a 10-
square mile area using recognized construction practices establishing three
different types of system:
1. Standard overhead construction system.
2. Complete and total underground standard utility construction.
3. A new system using synthetic installation cable, direct- buried
cable technique, with only direct buried conduits where re-
quired surface-mounted, pad -type switching equipment with
no poles in the area.
Although there is no name for the third system, it is known in
subdivision developments as U.R.D. or Underground Residential Development,
meaning a direct- buried cable system.
The estimated cost for the total underground system with vaults,
ducts, standard -type cable and switching equipment is 21- million dollars;
the overhead system a little in excess of 1- million dollars; and the direct
buried cable system, with surface mounted, pad -mount type, module switching
equipment approximately 8- million dollars.
Using the overhead structure as a basis of establishing rates it
was estimated that the system recommended would cost a little over 7-million
dollars, or $1,100.00 per gross acre in the 10-mile study area. This es-
timate is based on the data at hand, recognizing the street pattern is un-
known and the load pattern is indefinite; however, in their opinion, this
system was well within the capability of being constructed without any un-
due expense to the utility or other citizens of Anaheim.
Mr. Edwards, in briefing the joint report of the Development Ser-
vices and Public Utilities Departments, dated June 6, 1972, advised the
recommendations were as follows:
1. The area be declared an underground district so that future
line extensions in the area would be extended underground.
2. That the developers pay to the utility an acreage fee of
$1,100.00 per acre for underground, 12 KV distribution, and that the de-
velopers continue to pay the appropriate lot connection fee.
This cost, Mr. Edwards explained, would be for line extensions
of new facilities into undeveloped areas, in addition to the present subdi-
vision costs of $60.00 per lot for single family residences less than 7,200
square feet, and $20.00 per apartment unit. Using the projected density of
314 dwelling units per acre,the charge would average $315.00 for backbone and
main line feeder circuits, plus the $60.00, or an average of $375.00 per
single family dwelling lot for the recommended underground utility system.
3. He further advised that they recommended this charge not be
placed on the total citizens of Anaheim, but either the developer or abutting
property owners be assessed this acreage charge for the undergrounding of
this system; this being a 12-KV distribution system.
Mr. Edwards advised that in order to avoid leapfrog when the
circuits are at the bottom or top of a hill, they recommended a policy to
provide for temporary overhead 12-KV lines be permitted in this area, until
the intervening property over which these lines will be going is developed.
He added that this would provide payment by the additional
developer for the construction and removal of the temporary lines.
4. Further, if estimated annual revenues were insufficient to
support a line extension, it was their recommendation a special arrangement
with the dev toper be allowed so that the extension costs are not borne by
other rate Aram

Reference was made to the large Edison towers in the area and their
projected replacement by towers twice in size, and Councilman Pebley ques-
tioned undergrounding the system under these conditions.
Mr. Edwards felt this was a matter of perspective; the Edison trans-
mission towers are massive and impressive, but they will be on the skyline,
while the City proposal involves 12-KV distribution lines which will be at
eye level, and that is the reason the City tries to separate the two the
12- KV distribution lines and the 67-KV transmission lines.
In conclusion, Mr. Edwards stated their position was not neces-
sarily one of adequacy but of facts as they see them and what is feasible
within the present technology and what the cost would be should such a pol-
icy be desired and adopted by the Council.
Slides were then shown of various types of pad mounted transfor-
mers and other equipment presently available on the market; the various in-
stallation locations and landscaping treatment. Slides of subject area were
also shown depicting the poles presently in the area
Mr. Edwards reported it was estimated that seven miles of line
would be required for one square mile of development.
In answer to question asked by Commissioner Kaywood, Mr. Edwards
reported existing lines were not adequate for the ultimate future develop-
ment.
Commissioner Seymour recalled when considering the Route 39 Free
way, the Commission asked if the route west of Magnolia Avenue, adjacent to
the transmission lines was selected, what the feasibility was to place those
transmission lines underground and construct the Freeway in that right -of -way,
and they were advised by the Division of Highways representative that the cost
would be tremendous. Commissioner Seymour asked if the cost could be estima-
ted.
Mr. Edwards stated there is a tremendous amount of research being
done in this area and the technology is coming, however, as of now, costs
could range from $500.00 to $1,000.00 per lineal foot. To his knowledge,
nothing of that magnitude has ever been done for any extensive distance in
this country.
Commissioner Gauer was of the opinion that transmission lines, simi-
lar to a bridge, were not necessarily ugly if you considered their function.
Mr. Edwards advised that transmission lines were purposely omitted
from the report recommendations because of the very function referred to by
Commissioner Gauer.
Commissioner Rowland felt the income produced from the electrical
utility was not as great as could be realized because of the existing over-
head power lines in the City, and referred to the Parkway Maintenance budget,
wherein 1 /4- million dollars annually is devoted to maintaining the public
utility easements in the City, by either planting trees or pruning them to
clear the transmission lines. He realized that if these lines were placed
underground there would be some maintenance cost, but doubted it Would be
as great as presently experienced. The difference could be applied against
the initial underground investment.
Commissioner Rowland noted the fact that Anaheim is justly proud
of its major league ballpark, Convention Center and championship golf course,
presently under construction. It was his opinion that overhead service was
not in Step with the priorities previously established by other administra-
tions and supported continuously by iubaequent administrations, and he felt
staff recommendations were reasonable ones, and as a citizen and Planning
Commissioner, wholeheartedly supported undergrounding the 12- KV utilities
and smaller lines, and also the 68 -KV as soon as possible.
72-372
C$ty }laJt_ Anattelia, California COtpm, MZNUT4S June 6. 1972. 7:30 P.M.
Mr. Edwards, with reference to maintenance costs, read from the re-
port prepared and dated September 17, 1971, pertaining to maintenance problems
of an underground system compared to an overhead system, (Page 4) and from
utilities in California, it is estimated $1.70 is spent for operation and main
tenance of an underground system for every $100.00 of capital investment, conr
pared to $3.50 for overhead systems; however, in the Santa Ana Canyon area, the
difference in investment in the two systems would be 5:1, which would project
twice the cost of maintenance of an underground system compared to an overhead
system.
Commissioner Kaywood stated that the beauty factor could not be over-
looked and noted areas that many years ago, without the present technology, in-
stalled underground utilities, such as Sunny Hills in Fullerton, which area has
remained beautiful and appreciated in value. In her opinion, nothing ultimately
would be saved by creating ugliness.
Mr. Edwards reported the proposal would continue the present practice
and policy as far as subdivisions are concerned that being total subsurface
installation for single- family and apartment house complexes, where single -phase
service is required. However, a guideline and Council Policy would be helpful
in the commercial areas, and especially those industrial shells and commercial
complexes built for speculation. Presently, in three -phase service, pad -mount
above ground systems are installed. Waivers to this policy are only granted
when there are existing pole lines on the rear or side lots and it is truly a
speculation, multiple- occupancy building where the load demand is unknown.
Mrs. Jean Morris, 1550 Flippen Circle, Anaheim, advised that as a
prospective homeowner in the subject area she would be more than willing to
pay the cost of $375.00 for underground facilities; as everyone would like to
see the telephone poles removed, the question is who would pay for it.
Mr. Bill Stark, 380 Anaheim Hills Road, representing Anaheim Hills
Corporation, advised that their property comprises approximately 95% of the
area involved. He noted the Edison towers and reported that they will have
eight parallel mains and the towers are projected to be twice as large this
to be accomplished by 1973 or 1976. These Edison lines, he noted, which run
through the center of the area, and the 69-KV lines will never be placed under-
ground.
Mr. Stark stated discussion this evening was really only on aesthet-
ics at a cost of nearly 7-million dollars, which will do only part of a job
at double the cost for maintenance.
He stated that they were attempting modification where wires will
be hidden and then underground in the development.
He further reported that FHA will recognize some value to underground
facilities, however, it is not one of their requirements so, in effect, some
future home buyer will be taxed to pay the 7-million dollars.
He noted that in two of their tracts, No. 7558 and 7587, they were
endeavoring to create larger lots and lower density. These are to be view
lots at the top of the hill and their additional cost was not $300.00, but
$1,300.00 per lot.
Mr. Stark felt the proposal was a complete departure and not being
proposed for any other area in the City. However, if everyone in the City was
going to underground, and if the Edison installation and the 69-KV lines were
not there, it would be a different matter. To him, the costs are not commen-
surate with the beauty.
Mr. Dick Owens, representing Grant Corporation, 85% of subject area,
stated it was uneconomical to place the 12-KV lines underground.
He'reported, although they did not talk to each Councilman prior to
annexation and purchase of the property, they came to the City and talked to
a few people they felt would have an idea of what was going to happen in the
area. He stated the cost of undergrounding as proposed, would represent 707.
of the initial cost of the Ranch.

City Hall. Anaheim, Califorpia COUNCIL MINUTES June ,O. 1972„ 7:3Q P.
He noted there presently existed 12-KV lines to the rear of the
model homes, and thirty homes in the $43,000.00 to $50,000.00 price range
have been sold in the last nine days. .Apparently those home buyers do
not feel the transmission lines are that offensive.
He questioned how they could absorb an additional cost of $1,300.
per unit in a house selling for $35,000.00, the amount representing the
maximum FHA loan available.
Mr. Owens requested, if the undergrounding policy is adopted,
it apply to the entire'City simultaneously, noting it was unfair to im-
pose this requirement on them only, placing them in an unfair competition
position. He felt the Anaheim citizens should realize what it would cost
them by increased maintenance costs to have a portion of their city singled
out for underground 12-KV lines.
Councilman Thom requested clarification of Mr. Owens' opening
remarks to the effect that "when they bought the Nohl Ranch for 10- million
dollars they had an understanding with the City," and asked who he had his
understanding with.
Mr. Owens replied he had asked what the rules were and he talked
to nearly every Councilman with the exception of him, as he was not very
enthusiastic over the Anaheim Hills Golf Course proposal, which played a
significant part in their decision to proceed; there wasn't any deal he
wanted to know what the rules were before making that kind of investment,
and no one said this is firm and fixed, they said "this is the way we see
things."
As to the 12-KV lines, Mr. Owens felt they could be placed in
what they call a "utility corridor," below the ridge line where they would
not be so evident and, in addition,- not.everyone will see these lines. He
felt a good many more desirable appointments could be a part of the home
for $1,300.00, such as: an electronic garage door opener, etc., than to
reduce by undergrounding only a portion of the lines in the area.
Mr. Owens noted the proposal provided for temporary overhead
service to an isolated area, to be removed when the intervening property
developed. This, he felt, would be another significant cost which he
doubted would be borne by the City.
Councilman Thom advised that this was•not what prompted his ques-
tion, as undergrounding facilities has been discussed and has been a topic
of current interest these last four -or five years.
Mr. Owens, noted the cost of getting to an area with intervening
undeveloped property by leapfrog to be approximately $30.00 per foot, com-
pared to $10.00 per foot, and advised such a requirement would prevent
commencing several different developments at different locations on the
Ranch at one time.
Commissioner Rowland called attention to the fact that these
would not be the only. costs incurred by•developing or moving from
area to area. There would also be sewer costs, gas, water,. extension of
Police and Fire protection, trash pick -up, etc., all costs being equally
punitive to. him as a developer and the citizens of the community.
W. Owens felt there should be a relationship of the benefits
derived to the costs expended and, in his opinion, the benefits derived
by placing underground utilities at the present state of the arc were not
commensurate with benefits to be derived when there are other methods of
attempting to solve the problem. He again stated they would be placed
at a „distinct competitive disadirantage by approving the proposal when 857
of the area was under their ownership.
In. answer to a question raised, Mr. Edwards reported for the
study purpose, transmission lines were not considered, and it was esti-
mat there would be 68 miles of 12-KV distribution circuit in the 10-
square mile study area. No study or estimate was made of the possible

in -tract or subdivision facilities, as these will depend on density of de-
velopment, street layout, etc.
Mr. Hoyt reported the underground in -tract facilities will continue
as presently required. The issue considered is, instead of coming from an
overhead system down into and through the tract, and back to the overhead
system, we would start from an underground system, through the tract, back
to an underground backbone feeder. This would be placing 68 miles of back-
bone lines underground, costing a difference of approximately 7- million dol-
lars between overhead and underground systems, or approximately $1,110.00
per acre.
Mr. Owens called attention to areas on the Ranch which will be dif-
ficult to develop and in these equestrian lots there may be from two to four
acres in the lot, requiring an acreage payment from $2,600.00 for underground
KV. Noted also was the fact that the Edison Company has approximately 550
acres devoted to overhead transmission lines and major towers, which cannot
be avoided.
In summary, Mr. Owens stated they, as owners of 85% of the area
involved, request the district not be approved and formed, and if approved
and formed, requested the entire City be placed in the district.
Mr. Owens reported they have built several hundred homes on the
Irvine Ranch and advised that they do not put these types of transmission
lines underground.
Commissioner Seymour asked if the Grant Corporation had ever de-
veloped a project where the 12-KV lines were placed underground.
Mr. Owens replied they had never developed under those circumstances
and that they have constructed perhaps 15,000 homes in five different states,
which included Hawaii, Nevada and Arizona; they had never developed under these
requirements, nor was he aware of anyone who had.
ground.
Commissioner Herbst asked if the telephone lines would go under-
Mr. Hoyt advised that, according to his understanding of the Public
Utilities Commission rules applying to public utilities, if a district is
formed and established they can extend underground. If a district is not
formed, they would have a problem going underground and under certain con-
ditions where they are reinforcing their facilities they would be required
to go overhead. Further, under Public Utilities Commission rules, if back-
bone undergrounding is required or if the developer elects to go underground,
the expense is that of the developer,as opposed to the utility.
Regarding Irvine Ranch, Mr. Hoyt reported it was his understand-
ing that it now was a full underground from the overhead 66-KV subtransmission
system; everything below that voltage being underground at the expense of the
developer.
Mr. Owens stated that when the Irvine Company make a requirement
on a developer or a land residual, the cost is deducted from the price of the
land.
Discussion was held on the method of acreage assessment and Mr.
Owens noted certain portions of the area were undevelopable but included
in the assessment district.
Mr. Hoyt, in recognizing an area could develop a mile away from the
location of present service, stated this could be done by temporary overhead
at a cost of between $5,000.00 to $15,000.00, compared to an underground back-
bone system at an estimated cost of $150,000.00. If a temporary installation
is made, as the intervening land develops, it is proposed that the temporary
installation be replaced with the backbone underground system. This seemed,
to the City Staff, to be a reasonable way to solve a leapfrog situation without
a great deal expense to everyone involved. If the proposal is adopted as
policy, charges would be assessed on actual acreage, as opposed to actual costs.

Mr. Don Fears, President of Anaheim Beautiful, a volunteer, city-
wide organization, reported that they view the proposal as laymen and voters
and agree with the recommendations of the Development Services Department
and Utilities Department, and suggested as many facts as possible be re-
viewed and considered in addition to economics and beauty. They believed
the future of low voltage was underground.
Mr. Fears advised that the recent history of the Santa Ana Canyon
in development shows a strong trend toward destruction of the natural amen-
ities; the first major difference resulting from the construction of the
Freeway.
He stated the amenities of the Canyon Area are unique, with roll-
ing hills and watershed areas there is an opportunity for development relat-
ing to what nature has given, that is large acreage developments town and
country shopping centers, and the feeling of privacy. Poles and overhead
power and telephone lines, in his opinion, add to the loss of the Canyon's
natural amenities.
Another policy in the area was that of the Scenic Corridor, which
W. Fears felt was not working out as well as it could, nor did he feel it
had the backing from the City Council it deserved. He felt the developers
could point out that this was a better community in which to live and has
less hazards by not having the overhead lines; interference with TV programs
would be greatly reduced, etc.
Mr. Fears noted improvements made to society's living conditions
over the years, and felt since mankind has the technical ability to build
12 -KV systems underground reasonably economically it should be .considered
as a very new and needed development for the City, and should be applied
in the City wherever new development is occurring, not just in the Canyon
Area; however, in the Canyon Area it was particularly important because of
its natural beauty.
Mr. George Putnam of S S Construction Company, a developer in
subject Canyon Area, stated none of the developers he knew were trying to
eliminate the responsibility of underground services within a tract. The
question was whose responsibility it was to pay for the distribution line
getting the power from one tract to another. He knew of no other city or
public utility that requires the'cost of this undergrounding to be placed
upon the future homeowners of the traot by placing the cost on the developer.
To further explain the position of the City as to cost and char
ges, Mr. Hoyt explained the proposal was based on the City making an invest
ment equivalent to the cost of overhead facilities to serve the area, this
being the basis on which the rates for the entire City are established. Any
investment in excess of that would be borne by the developing party.
Mr. Frank Liggett, 571 Peralta Hills Drive, representing the Per
alta Hills Estates Improvement Association, asked for more details on the
financial arrangements to go underground. They favor beautifying the area,
but generally the power poles in their area were not too conspicuous and
before this policy is adopted the fees to the property owners should be
known, (similar to an assessment that is extended on the tax rolls over a
period of years.) He felt people in the area would favor the proposal if
they know the costs and costs are on a reasonable basis. He questioned how
the proposal would apply to those existing facilities.
Mr. Hoyt replied that it was not proposed to do anything with ex-
isting facilities the proposal does not cover replacing any existing over-
head facilities with underground.
Mr. Edwards further clarified the issue by reporting the proposal
and costs were based on a system concept and line extension and even though
a parcel in the Peralta Hills area may be considered developed, if construc-
tion on that parcel necessitated extension of service to it, it would come
under the new policy.

Mt. Liggett felt some of the details of the proposal deserved more
study, and that the ordinance or the implementation of the policy should in-
clude some provisions and definite understandings.
In conclusion, Mr. Liggett stated he hoped some financing could
be worked out as the people in general would like to see the power lines
go underground.
Mr. Stewart Muss, 21463 Mohler Drive, representing the Santa Ana
Canyon Property Owners Association, the small percentage of the property
in the study area, advised he would like to see facilities completely under-
ground, and as an engineer, was fully aware of the fact that this would be
an impossibility. To him, it appeared a compromise was in order one would
be to endeavor to make the lines as unobtrusive as possible as there seemed
to be areas in the Canyon where this could be accomplished and offend no one.
In other special areas this would not be possible, and perhaps the lines
should go underground. With this in mind, Mr. Moss felt further study of
the situation was warranted.
Mr. Moss further advised that they live in the shadow of the Edi-
son Company's high voltage lines, and with the growth of the trees they are
not too noticeable as they are now.
Councilman Pebley asked, if the policy was adopted by the Council,
would it diminish electrical profits in the subject area to the detriment
of other Anaheim residents.
Mr. Hoyt replied in the negative, and stated it should not affect
anyone else. As to maintenance costs in the terms of dollar per investment,
it should be about the same or equal to current costs, and it should, in no
way affect the estimated 1- million dollar profit anticipated by the recent
authorization to purchase the Edison Company facilities.
In answer to further questions of Councilman Pebley, Mr. Hoyt re-
ported it was estimated that the 10- square mile study area, or approximately
6,400 acres, would cost 7- million dollars to the developers and 1•million
dollars to the City. The developer to pay $1,100.00 per acre for a system
to develop the property. It was recognized that the Anaheim Hills area en-
compasses 4,200 acres, and also recognized that their total acreage would
not be developed, but they would be required to pay $1,100.00 per acre for
the acreage they do develop which would be initially placing underground
the backbone distribution system. In addition, they would pay for the in-
tract underground facilities the same as they would if subject policy is not
adopted. The difference in the 10- square mile study area is 68 miles of
overhead, 12,000 -volt line placed underground at a cost of $1,100.00 per
acre.
Mr. Jerry Ward, representing Aranco Land, Inc., basically indus-
trial developers, asked if the 12 -KV proposal would be adequate loadwise
10 years from now.
Mr. Edwards replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Ward called attention to the electrical devices placed in
homes and noted more and more are going into homes, and felt there should
be adequate load protection for at least ten or twenty years in the future.
Mr. Ward felt the success of the northeast industrial area would
be aided if there were some nice homes in the hills to attract industrial-
ists from the east coast and other areas who could have a nice home close
to their industry.
Mr. :Ward could not see why a developer should be required to go
completely underground and related his experience where required to go un-
derground in an industrial development, and then the Edison Company or tele-
phone company would come in, erect standards, and go overhead. From his
experience he reported the telephone company does not put anything under-
ground that tfhe developer is not charged for.

Mr. Owens referred to a report of the Electrical Department, dated
September 17, 1971, page 4, wherein it was estimated that maintenance costs
of an underground system would be over twice as much as that of an overhead
system.
Mr. Edwards, the author of the report quoted from, stated the in-
formation was arrived at from a Public Utilities Commission report of the
other investor -owned utilities in California, and was a manufacturer's num-
ber from reporting data, and reflects both old subway -type installations,
some as old as 50 years, and new URD -type installations. The installation
proposed is the new URD system, and is why it is estimated maintenance costs
would probably be the same for either system installed.
Mr. Bob McQueen, 4831 MCKinnon`Drive, stated their association felt
we should keep the trees up and the poles down, but the proposal submitted
tonight appeared to contain a lot of inequities and what effect this would
have on the other taxpayers.
He stated that when the developers purchased these 4,200 acres some
time ago, they knew what the City's requirements were and what it would cost
them to develop the property. Now that they are proceeding with the develop-
ment, they find an additional cost of $1,100.00 per acre.
Mr. McQueen felt everyone approved of the undergrounding utility
concept, the only question was how and when it would be done and who would
pay for it. He also felt the proposal needed more study to find an equit-
able solution to the developer and the people of the City.
Mr. Fears noted regardless of how long a landowner has had the
property, when developed it would be under currently- existing Codes, not
the requirement when the land was originally acquired.
Mr. Murdoch asked if any of the homeowners facing this problem
had been asked if they would be willing to pay, say $550.00 not to have
the perimeter 12 -ICV lines in the area. Answers from the homeowners would
be a good indication of the real desires of the residents in the area.
Mr. Murdoch referred to the Assessment District as an alternate
the Council may wish to consider, which is a method of payment where the
assessment is extended to the tax rolls and paid by the property owners
with their property taxes over a period of ten years., He advised this me-
thod would not require capitalization by the developer at the time of de-
velopment, nor a 20-to 30 -year interest program as part of the cost for fi-
nancing the home.
Mayor Dutton related the cost to him in 1946 to underground in or-
der to remove one pole from his property, the cost then being nearly $5,200.
He questioned how many people would be willing to pay the costs when you
consider what they might be today, compared to 1946.
Mr. Murdoch stated that his 2/3 -acre parcel of property has four
poles, all with crisscross arms, and he personally would not pay the $750.
assessment for their removal. He stated this type of thing becomes a mat-
ter of values and what a person is willing to pay for.
Mr. Fears felt everyone would want the poles removed if there was
no cost involved, which indicates the desire to remove them is there.
Mr. Murdoch reported that the Citizens Committee on the electri-
cal proposal explored this situation. Each member of the 'Committee asked
ten people "Would they like to have the power poles removed The answer
was better than 90% "Yes." Then, "Would you pay $1,000.00 The answer was
100% "No. I'm not-interested." (At the time cost estimated was $1,000.
for 15 years.)
Mt. Edwards noted that the report before them did not cover "coir
version," which was just mentioned, it cover's only line extensions.

City Half,. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES June 6. 1972. 7:30 P.M.
Mt. Art Arthington, of Pacific Telephone Company, reported the
Public Utilities Commission's ruling gives them the right to extend aerial
facilities only in those areas where they are reinforcing an existing aer-
ial lead; no poles will be removed.
In the subject area, Mr. Arthington stated at the area of Nohl
Ranch Road and Anaheim Hills they have existing facilities, and in order
to feed the area at the top of the hill they are required to have under-
ground service from the point mentioned to the top of the hill, regard-
less of whether or not a district is formed. This is to be paid for jointly
with the developer; the developer to pay three-fourths of the difference in
cost (non-refundable) between the aerial and underground structures if the
tract meets their density requirement, and if it does not meet their den
sity requirement the developer will pay all of it.
Councilman Thom stated he was still curious about who specifi-
cally the Grant Corporation held sessions with prior to their coming into
the City.
Mr. Owens replied that before they made their commitment to pur-
chase, he thought he had talked to the four Councilmen other than him, and
to a number of staff personnel, in Engineering and Planning; people, who
for the most part, are present here tonight.
He further stated he thought a number, of meetings were announced
where the Council was invited. None, to his knowledge, were held in secret
by any means. He recalled a full presentation to the City Staff where Coun
cilmen were invited. As to the method of invitation, he could not recall.
of it.
Councilman Thom stated that this was the first time he had heard
Mr. Owens again stated before purchase of the property they were
concerned over the rules, and did go into it primarily with the Staff in
quite a bit of depth prior to making a commitment. He doubted he had con
tacted Councilman Thom personally, nor did he contact the other Councilmen
specifically in person. He encountered them, however, on various occasions
and did discuss the issue with them.
Discussion between the Council and Commission ensued, and it was
the general consensus such a policy, if adopted, should apply to the entire
City.
Mr. Hoyt advised that the principle could be applied to the err-
tire City, however, the dollar figure could not because of the many other
factors that must be taken into consideration.
Commissioner Seymour felt the price proposed was a small price
to pay and that the full $315.00 -per lot cost would be recovered over a
period of 19 years by appreciation of the property. He also agreed the
concept should be throughout the City.
Councilman Sneegas stated the cost was what concerned him, and
the fact that it differs in every area and is not known.
It was determined that the Staff should further explore the pos-
sibility of some 12 -KV lines overhead, where they can be relatively obscure,
and also further investigate what the residential policy applying throughout
the City should be, and that an additional 30 days be allowed for a Staff
analysis of a City -wide policy, and also an analysis of the assessment dist-
rict approach.
