BUDGET/CAPITAL IMPROVEI~NTS.; City Manager Keith Murdoch stated the purpose of this
Adjourned Regular Meeting was to discuss possible areas where cuts could be
made in the Current Fiscal Year Operating Budget to partially meet some of
this year's Capital Improvements, and to discuss possible'additional sources of
revenue. He stated that although the recap of the Summary of Capital Outlay
Requests, Ftscal'Years1970-71 through 1975-76, which the Council received on
September 4, 1970, reflected changes resulting from discussions at the Adjourned
Regular Meeting held September 1, 1970, there still could be some items listed
that the Council might deem inappropriate.
Mr. Murdoch advised the approx!~a~!¥ $1~225,000.00 of additional
revenues indicated as nec~s~ to m~ ~h~ ~~d Capital Improvements for
the balance of FisCal Y~r ~70~?! ~o~ld ~ d~r~v~d ~m ~$ther of the two
major sources previously d~u~d ~ Admissions T~ or U~li~ies Tax; however,
$3,000,000.00 or $3,500,000,00 in addl~iomal r~venu~s would be required to
carry on a satisfactorily aggressive pro,ram,
In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Murdoch advised only very minor
adjustments have been found feasible since the.adoption of the current Operat-
ing Budget and most of those were for street construction, due to the fact that
available Gas Tax fugfi~ will not be as great_as anticipated. He furgher ~tated

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Septembe~ 9, 1970, 8:00. A.~..
that, althoogh there probably were some areas where additional cutbacks
might be possible, Council Policy indicated otherwise.
ELECTRIC - POWER SALES AND ADVERTISING: Councilman Thom questioned the neces-
sity of spending over $200,000.00 for Electrical Power Sales and Adver-
tising; Councilman Stephenson agreed the amount budgeted seemed large
compared to results obtained.
Mr. Mnrdoch advised that, although the amount involved is not
large, membership:in the Electric League will not be reinstated this year
because of disagreement with policy changes.
Utilities Director Gordon Hoyt stated the City Council author-
ized entering the Medallion Program in 1959, at which time there were 65
such living units in Anaheim; however, there was no means of implementing
this program, and by 1964 only 25 additional units had been installed,
even though the population had increased by 30,000, thus 'pointing up the
need for promotional activities and creation of the Power Sales Department
at that time.
Mr. Hoyt stated the advertising budget of Power Sales is rela-
tively minor b~cause it is designed to reach only a small area.
Councilman Thom requested a list of accounts that the Power Sales
Department had succeeded in switching over to electricity from other power
sources which would return over $1,000,000.00 in revenue as justification
for a $250,000.00 budget request~ stating that without such justification
he could not approve the requested budget.
Mr. Hoyt and Electrical Sales Supervisor Henry C. Wiley offered
to compile a complete list and cited the following: Carl's Jr. Drive-Ins,
now all are electric; Cal-Comp installed 750 tons of air conditioning in
their new plant; the Driving Range on Anaheim Boulevard put infra-red heat
on the bottom deck; the Pediatrician Offices on Anaheim and Harbor Boule-
vards are totally electric; Buzza Cardozo's new kitchen is totally elec-
tric; Shareholders' Capital went totally electric on their west end devel-
opment; R & B Development Company has electric heat; the three motels
built by Meyer Construction Company on Lincoln Avenue had electric air-
conditioning and Power Sales sold them electric heat and cooking burners.
Mr. Wiley stated The Carrousel was the first total electric kitchen he
had sold, but, because he was the only salesman and could not physically
cover all areas, the water heaters and heating-unit system went to a com-
petitor.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Wiley advised that Carl's
Jrs. are given free service but are charged cost plus 25% for parts; The
Carrousel sale was partiallY a result of offering free service.
Councilman Dutton entered the Council Chambers, (9:35 A.M.).
Councilman Pebley asked if Finance Director Douglas Ogden, Util-
ities Director Gordon Hoyt, City Manager Keith M~rdoch recommend the
Power Sales Department and Advertising continue as proposed, to which
affirmation.
he'received ' '
Mr. Murdoch stated he believed cutting this program at this time
would very substantially decrease future revenues, since power sales are-
made for continuing revenues and' not just a one-time sale.
Councilman ~.sph~nson que. stiomed the meed for $30,000.00 in
miscellaneous advertising,
Mr. Hoyt advised the normal annual advertising budget is $6,000.,
but this Fiscal Year $24,000.00 is requested to conduct a survey on w~at
customers expect from electric utilities.
70-455
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 8, 1970, 8:00 A,M.
In answer to Councilmen Stephenson and Thom, Mr. Hoyt advised the
services of a Home Economist are considered a necessity in home modernization
pursuits; and providing electric ranges to high schools is a promotion acti-
vity to familiarize students with electric cooking in the hope this medium
will be their choice in the future when they are homemakers, and also that
they will influence their parents to include electric utilities in their home
modernization plans.
Councilman Dutton stated he believed Power Sales and advertising
funds were well spent.
Mr. Murdoch reminded the Council that electric utilities is a major
source of revenue for Anaheim, and added the monies added to the General-Fund
from electrical operations just about equals sales tax receipts.
Mr. Hoyt advised the present Power Sales activities have been build-
ing up for the past five years, and now are at a point where they will stay.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Hoyt stated the Power Sales
and Advertising budget has been reviewed several times to determine where cuts
could be made, and now is a budget he considered absolutely necessary.
Councilman Pebley suggested the Power Sales and Advertising Budget
be approved as is; Councilmen Dutton and Clark indicated agreement.
Mr. Murdoch advised that additional analysis will be made to deter-
mine the need for the $24,000.00 budget request for the proposed customer sur-
vey, although he believed such a survey would provide a much-needed tool for
educating voters to the desirability of a bond issue to complete the purchase
of the Southern California Edison Company facilities. He further advised an
investigation will be made to determine the necessity for replacing a recently-
resigned salesman.
Councilman Thom reiterated his position that in order to give his
approval of the Power Sales and Advertising Budget, he requires justification
for the expenditure in the form of an additional one to two-million dollars
of revenue generated.
Mr. Wiley agreed to provide the necessary information.
PARKS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: Mr. Murdoch referred to the Council's indecision on
the advisability'of continuing with the 'present Parks Land Acquisition and
Development Program. He stated that it has been the poli~y of the City f~or
'seVeral years to maintain and develop parks withiD th.e available sources'of
revenue in any giv~'n current fiscal year, and that.land for parks should be
purchased in developing areas while still 'available; however,, the pace of -
park development did require review. He added that the major parks item
in the current Capital Outlay Summary is for development of Manzanita Park.
Mr. Murdoch stated he believed the failure of the Parks Bond Issue
was an indication the voters did not want the program accelerated, but he
doubted they desired a deceleration,
In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Murdoch advised the ordinance
requiring in lieu fees decreed that all such fees be used for acquisition
of park property first, and then for development; that although the funds
are not separated between acquisition and development, thus far in lieu fees
have not been adequate to meet acquisition.
Councilman Dutton stated the opinion development of Manzanita Park
probably could be delayed, but he was in favor of continuing the present land
acquisition program.
Councilmen Pebley and Stephenson agreed needed parks land should
be purchased while stitl available and reasonably priced.
70-456
City Hall,.Anahetm, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 8, 1970, 8:00 A.M.
In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. M~rdoch advised that although
Reid Park is not COnsidered complete since only five acres are developed,
it is operating, and thus completion can be delayed. ~
Mr. Murdoch suggested development of Manzanita Park, which he
placed at top priority, could be scheduled toward the end of this Fiscal
Year, thus dividing the related expenses between Fiscal Year 1970-71 and
Fiscal Year 1971-72. Councilmen Stephenson, Clark and Dutton indicated
accord.
Councilman Pebley stated he would prefer to complete Reid Park,
rather than purchase additional land next to another existing park.
Councilman Stephenson stated he was not in favor of ~paying
$50,000.00 an acre for additional land to enlarge Reid Park.
Councilman Clark suggested Reid Park not be as large as the
regular community park, thus avoiding the necessity to purchase additional
land.
Mr. Murdoch stated the opinion a community park should conform
in all respects, including size.
He further advised that the current Operating Budget allows
nothing for Parks and Recreation; that the $450,000.00 indicated is a
capital outlay item to be considered only if additional revenue sources
are obtained or if substantial cuts are made in the existing budget, a
feat he doubted could be achieved without considerably changing the pres-
ent standard of service.
Councilman Clark stated the probationary period of one year on
~he in lieu fee program is over, and asked for Mr. ~rdoch's recommendation
in that regard, in that it was agreed the amount of fees would be reviewed
after one year.
Mr. Murdoch stated he believed it is now t~ime to increase the
in lieu fees since present resources generated by such fees do not allow
even for maintaining the pgst park land acquisition program. However, he
would have to thoroughly analyze the situation before making a recommen-
dation. ~
Councilman Pebley asked that at the time Mr. Murdoch presents
a suggested ordinance on increased in lieu fees, he also furnish informa-
tion on the similar practices of neighboring cities.
CONVENTION CENTER - EXHIBITION SPACE FEES: Councilman Pebley stated that, since
each Councilman had indicated a desire to continue the aggressive program
of the past 15 years, additional sources of revenue would have to be insti-
tuted.
Councilmen Dutton, Clark and Stephenson stated they would not
favor a property %ax increase.
Mr. Murdoch suggested one source of additional revenue could
be an increase from six cents to eight cents per squarm foot for exhibi-
tion space in the Convention Center, which could result in approximately
$75,000.00 being added to the General Funds per year.
In answer to Councilman Dutton, Mr. Murdoch advised the suggested
rate increase would compare favorablY.with the competitive market.
Councilman Pebley offered a motion that the exhibition space fee
at Anaheim Convention Center be increased from six cents per square foot
to eight cents per square foot. Councilman Dutton seconded the motion.
MOTION CAI~RIED.
70-457
City Hail, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 8, 1970, 8:00 A.M.
STADIUM AND CONVENTION CENTER - PARKING FEES: Councilman Clark recommended the
present parking fees of $1.00 at the Stadium and 50¢ at the Convention Center
be changed to a flat fee of 75¢ at both facilities.
Mr. D.~rdoch advised such a parking fee change could result in addi-
tional revenues of $75,000.00 per year.
Following Council discussion, Mr. Murdoch stated he believed it wo'~ld
not be advisable to increase Convention Center parking fees to $1.00 to coin-
cide wizh present Stadium parking fees, since many Convention Center activi-
ties are luncheons, banquets, or other activities for which a $1.00 parking
fee would be high, and having different fees for different events would not
be feasible since more than one activity could be going on at the same time.
By general Council consent, the City Manager was instructed to pre~
sent for Council consideration a recommended Stadium and Convention Center
parking fee program to generate additional revenue.
ADMISSIONS TAX: Mr. Murdoch advised it is estimated adoption of an overall 10%
Entertainment Admissions Tax could bring $3,000,000.00 to $3,500,000.00 in
additional revenue annually; however, if such a tax were adopted, the Council
may not want all phases of entertainment taxed equally.
Councilmen Pebley and Stephenson stated the belief that if such a
tax were adopted, the same rate should apply to all entertainment activities
for which an admission fee is charged.
Councilman Dutton stated that, although he was not in favor of any
additional tax, if one was necessary, he considered an admissions tax the most
plausible.
Councilman Clark asked if such a tax might possibly reduce atten-
dance at entertainment activities. Councilman Dutton stated that Disneyland
attendance has increased consistently over the past years, despite general
admission fees being increased from 90C to $3.50 and"two years ago he sugges-
ted an admission tax on the basis that the raise in gate admission apparently
did not reduce the attendance.
Mr. Murdoch recommended that, if an enteztainment tax is adopted,
complimentary promotional tickets be exempted from such a tax, to which Coun-
cilmen Pebley, Stephenson, Clark and Dutton indicated agreement.
UTILITIES TAX: Mr. Murdoch advised another major source of additional revenue
suggested was a 5% Utilities Tax.
Councilman Dutton stated he did not favor a utilities tax. Council-
man Pebley advised he believed only one additional tax is necessary and he
would prefer an entertainment tax to a utilities tax.
Mr. Murdoch advised additional revenues from an entertainment tax
could allow an adequate though not aggressive Capital Improvement program
for the City; however, unless additional sources of revenue were obtained,
substantial cuts or delays in the program as outlined in the 5-year plan would
be necessary.
Councilman Clark stated he did not deem it advisable to penalize
Anaheim citizens with additional taxes unless neighboring cities have these
same taxes.
Councilman Pebley suggested a 5% Utilities Tax, plus a 10% Admis-
sions Tax could ruin large businesses and establishments such as Disneyland.
ROOM OCCUPANCY TAX: Mr. Murdoch stated another suggested source of additional
revenue could be a room occupancy tax increase; however, such an increase
had been discussed only as a means for increasing the promotional activities
of the Visitors and Convention Bureau, and not for capital improvements.
70-458
City Ha!l, A~.~aheim, California - CgUNCIL MINUTES - September 8, 1970, 8:00 A.M.
Councilman D~tton stated he believed if such a tax increase were
adopted, resulting revenues should be used for Visitor and Convention Bur-
eau promotion activities, if the Convention Center operation and amorti-
zation could be adequately handled otherwise. Councilman Pebley indicated
his agreement.
In answer to Councilman Clark, Mr. Murdoch advised the Room Oc-
cupancy Tax is a business license for hotels and motels, whereupon Coun-
cilman Clark stated he felt such revenues should be added to the General
Fund, just as other business license fees.
Mr. Murdoch advised the present Room Occupancy Tax originally
was instituted to cover amortization and deficit operational expenses of
the Convention Center; and added that these revenues the past fiscal year
not only covered the amortization requirements, but in addition paid the
entire cost of the City's share of the Visitor and Convention Bureau sales
and promotion efforts.
Councilman Pebley stated he believed the present Room Occupancy
Tax in San Francisco, Palm Springs and San Diego is 8%, and asked if rais~
lng Anaheim's rate from 5% to 6% would be adequate to supply the Visitor
and Convention Bureau sales and promotion requirements. Mr. Ma~rdoch ad- ·
vised a 1% increase would suffice; however, if such an increase is adopted,
prior determination should be made of how the resulting revenues would be
used.
In reply to Councilman Clark's suggestion that any necessary
additional Convention Center land acquisition could be financed by room ·
occupancy tax funds, Mr. Murdoch advised such a transaction presumably
would be financed by the issuance of bonds by the Community Center Author-
ity, which in turn would increase the City's rent, and this increased rent
would be paid from sources such as room occi~pancy tax funds.
Councilmen Clark and Pebley requested a breakdown on the room
occupancy tax activities of other cities be presented to the Council be-
fore a final decision is reached.
Mr. Murdoch agreed to furnish a draft of a proposed ordinance
covering room occupancy tax rate increases and at the same time informa-
tion on related activities of other cities.
CALI~OR~I~ANGELS; Mayor Dutton invited Ted Bowsfield, Director of Stadium
Operations, California Angels, to address the Council.
Mr. Bowsfield stated he understood there presently is a move-
ment in the State Legislature to impose a State admissions tax on profes-~
sional sports activities for the purpose of obtaining revenues for school
programs, and if the State should impose an admissions tax, and then Ana-
heim imposed an additional admissions tax, the resulting price increase
could make it difficult to sell tickets and price them Out of the market.
Mr. Bowsfield advised the various major league baseball, foot-
ball and hockey organizations have formed committees to oppose this pro-
posed admissions tax, but it is believed that if the issue is introduced
at the coming January session it could have a good chance of being passed
by the Legislature. Mr. Murdoch advised the issue had been killed in co~a-
mittee during the last legislative session, but it is expected to be re-
introduced in January.
Councilman Pebley suggested prior imposition of an admissions
tax by Anaheim could deter action on such a tax at the State level.
Mr. Bowsfield stated he was against an admissions tax at any
level, either State or City.
70-459
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES September 8, 1970, $:00 A.M.
In answer to Councilman Peb!ey, Mr. Mr. ~ows~leld stated that ad-
mi~icns taxes imposed by other citie's do no~ result'in less revenue to them
when visiting there, as visiting teams receive a percentage of gate receipt, s,
and the ticket price plus the tax arc'indiCated as.$eparate~ items on the
ticket.
In reply to Councilmen Stephenson and Pebley, Mr. Bowsfield advised
neither San Diego, San Francisco or.Oakland have an amusement tax; the LoS
Angeles Dodgers have no admission tax, but the Inglewood Forum has a ten cent
admission tax on all tickets, including complimentary tickets.
DISNEYLAND: Mayor Dutton invited Jack Lindquist,Director of Marketing, Disneyland,
to address the Council.
Mr. Lindquist advised the Disney organization opposed any proposed
admission or entertainment tax.
Mr. Lindquist stated he believed a good deal of the entertainment
and recreational tourist industry in Anaheim, including construction of the
Stadium and Convention Center, resulted from the institution of the D%sneyl~ad
operation; and even the August 6, 1970, disturbances at Disneyland did not
have a negative effect on attendance. He added that credit for successfUlly
handling the incidents should be given to ~he Anaheim City Officials a~ law
e~forcement agencies.
Mr. Lindquist advised it was feared imposition of an admissions
tax on top of their increased adult admission price tO $4.95 could very well
result in a reduction in attendance; and added he believed additional revenues
should come from increased business - regardless of whether it is Disneyland,
the Angels, hotels/motels, restaurants, service stations, etc. - rather than
additional taxes.
In answer to Councilman Pebley's request for a suggested solution
to the City's need for additional revenue sources, Mr. Lindquist advised he
felt consideration could be given to what the recreational and entertainment
industries now are contributing to Anaheim's tax rolls and total economy,
and that evaluation should be made of whether visiting tourists are paying
a fair share of the City's expenses for enjoying the entertainment provided;
if it is determined the tourist trade is paying a fair share, consideration
should be given to having all the citizens of Anaheim ~pay for the necessary
capital improvements.
Councilman Clark stated imposing additional property or utilities
taxes would be taxing the necessities of life, whereas recreation and enter-
tainment are not necessities; however, he added, he realized the value of the
recreational industry in attracting people to the Anaheim area.
Councilman Pebley stated ~e has received complaints from citizens
that, in addition to the Stadium losing money each year, Anaheim taxpayers
must pay for additional traffic police for every ballgame besides maintaining
the grounds and facility. ~
Councilman Dutton disagreed that the Stadium is losing money, but
averred extra policemen are required for ballgames as well as Disneyland ac-
tivities.
Mr. Lindquist admitted imposition of an admission or entertainment
tax would hurt Disneyland less than any other recreational or entertainment
activity in Anaheim; however, because of the much greater attendance at Dis-
neyland, he believed such a tax would mean probably 80% of the total revenues
would come from Disneyland visitors.
Councilman Pebley asked Mr. Lindquist if he believed a utilities
tax would be more fair than an admissions tax.
Mr. Lindquist answered that he was opposed to any new taxation;
however, he believed Disneyland management would prefer a utilities tax to
70-460
.~. Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 8, 1970, 8:00 A.M.
an admissions tax if one or the other is a necessity, as a utility tax is
not aimed at a certain group.
M~ BoWsfield indicated agreement w~th Mr~ Lindquist:
Mr. Murdoch advised a 5% utilities tax, which is the rate adop-
ted by.some'California chartered cities,~would result in $1,000,000.00
less in revenues~thanan admissions tax.

City Hall, ~naheim, Calgfornia - COUHCIL MINUTES - September 8, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
CONTINUED P~B~G ~ARING - A~A~_~DEVELOpMENT pLA~ NO. 106: To consider street ac--
cess and vehicular circut~ton for the area bounded by Crowther and Orange-
thorpe Avenues between ~'~mer Boulevard and the City Limits westerly from
Kraemer Boulevard approximately 1,500 feet.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-137,
recommended adoption of Area Development Plan No. 106 in accordance with Ex.-
habit A, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the owners of property in the study area dedicate a strip
of land 49 feet in width along the easterly extension of Kensington Avenue,
and a strip of land 56 feet in width for a new street, along the westerly
City of Anaheim city limits; and that a one foot holding strip along the
northerly and westerly boundary of said streets be conditionally granted
in fee to the City of Anaheim.
2. That trees shall be ·planted and maintained along both side of
said local streets, in accordance with the City of Anaheim standard street
plans.
Public hearing was held at the meeting of August 25, 1970, and con-
tinued to this date at the request of Edward Kozlowsky on behalf of concerned
property owners.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject 29
acres of property, existing uses and zoning in the area, and briefed the e¥i-
dence submitted to and considered by the City Planning CoMmission.
Mr. Roberts reported that in 1968 a tentative map was submitted
with a request for R-3 reclassification on the western part of subject pro-
perty, at which time it was determined a street should be stubbed in to the
east boundary to provide circulation back to Krae~er Boulevard; owners of
the R-3 property subsequently submitted plans for a large multiple-family
6omplex, including provision of a street to their east boundary along thei~
northern boundary, and, to avoid future possibility of overlooking the need
for a street to the east boundary of subject study area, it was deemed neces.-
sary to develop Area Development Plan No. 106.
Mr. Roberts advised the Development Services Department recommended
that, if subject area development plan is adopted in conformance with City
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC70-137, the following be added to Con-
dttion No. 1: "The condition of said grant to be development of the adja-
cent property in City of Placentta for industrial uses."
City Attorney Joseph Geisler advised such a conditional grant could
not legally be enforced.
Councilman Pebley suggested ownership of the one-foot strip of'l~nd
in question could be retained, but dedication of all ingress and egress rit.hts
required, so that if et some future date it was deemed desirable to allow in-
gress and egress, the owner could recover half of his cost of developing
street.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council.
Edward Kozlowsky, representing Nor'east Plaza, Ltd., 120 E1Camin.o
Drive, Beverly Hills, owners of property in said study area, stated there
was no objection to the recommended Area Development Plan; however, since
the cost of improvement could change greatly between now and when adJoinin~;
property was developed, he suggested dedication of the one-foot strip of lend
mentioned in .Condition No. 1 of City Planning Commission Resolution No. PC?O-
137 be made to the City with a reversionary interest in the event the property
to the west and north is not developed for industrial use.
Councilman Pebley explained his recommendation would be to establish
the cost of de~elopin$ the entire street at this time, and then if the adjoin-
ing Placentia property later should be developed other than industrially, the
developer would be required to reimburse half of that cost plus 6% interest
per year before ingress and egress rights would be granted.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 8, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
City Attorney Joseph B. Geisler reported a telephone request from
the Attorney for Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc., that subject ~petition be de-
layed to allow his attendance.
Councilman Stephenson stated if it was physically impossible for
the Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc. Attorney to attend today's meeting he was
in favor of granting their continuance request, and thereu'pon invited a rep-
resentative of Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc. to address the Council regard-
ing the continuance request.
Andrea Adams, Public Relations Officer for Anaheim Jitney Systems,
Inc., advised the request for continuance was made because reports could not
be located on the results of the Public Utilities Cou~nission hearing on a
complaint against The Town Tour Company filed by Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc.
Councilman Clark advised that if the Public Utilities Commission
hearing was relevant to The Town Tour Company request, continuance should
be granted.
Michael L. Valen, President of The Town Tour Company, advised thmt
to his knowledge, the Public Utilities Commission had made no formal report
on its hearings'held August 11 and 12, and added that no mention of unfair
competition was made by Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc. at the hearing.
Mr. Valen reported the Public Utilities Comanission had requested
The Town Tour Company stipulate to a route restriction within 4/10 mile be-
yond the Anaheim City Limits, and advised this request had been complied with.
Assistant City Attorney Alan Watts stated he had attended the Aug-
ust 11, 1970 Public Utilities Com~nission hearing, and at that time testimo~y
centered around whether or not The Town Tour Company was traveling into Buena
Park, beyond the limitations of 2% of tkeir route miles, and therefore, he
could see no relevancy between the Pdblic Utilities Commission hearing and
the request of The Town Tour Company before the City Council.
Mr. Watts further advised that, to his knowledge, no formal repo~'ts
on result of the Public Utilities Commission hearings had been received by
the City of Anaheim as a registered interested 'party.
Councilmen Stephenson and Clark withdrew their objection to havi~g
The Town Tour Company request reviewed at this meeting.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Pebley, req~est
of Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc. for continuance of The Town Tour Company pe-
tition was denied. MOTION CARRIED.

with the route modification recommended by the City Manager's office, and
presented for file a revised route map, reflecting the requested modifica-
tion.
Mayor Dutton received no response to his invitation to members of
the audience to address the Council in opposition.

ment Services Department recommending a six-month extension of time be

David Collins, owner of adjacent property south of subject pro-
perty, was reassured no action was being taken to rezone that portion of
his property not sold to the Applicant.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
a six-month extension of time to Reclassification No. 69-70-1 and Variance
No. 2100 was granted, to expire February 19, 1971, subject to the recom-
mendations of the Development Services Department. MOTION CARRIED.
ANAHEIM ~AMBER OF COMmeRCE RESOLUTION - INDEPENDENT REDEVE~0P~NT AGENCY: Reso%
lution of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce was submitted, recommending the
City Council appoint by ordinance an independent redevelopment agency~from
a cross-section of Anaheim business and professional men; that the de-
pressed area bounded by North, South, East and West Streets be designated
as a prime area for redevelopment; that the agency consider all methods
of financing; the agency develop a well-balanced plan; and that the City
of Anaheim enforce existing building codes to expedite upgrading of build-
ings in the area.
Mayor Dutton invited a representative of the Anaheim Chamber of
Commerce to address the Council.
George Doherty, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce City Cente~
Renewal Committee, stated his committee had studied redevelopment of "old"
downtown Anaheim for four years, and urged the Council to take affirmative
action on their request.
Councilman Dutton expressed concern about taking redevelopment
authority out of the hands of the City Council and delegating it to othe:~s.
Councilman Clark suggested a more appropriate approach would be
to appoint an Advisory Committee, along the same lines as the City Plan-
ning Commission.
Mr. Doherty cited San Bernardino as an example where an agency~
such as proposed by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, had been instituted~
Councilman Dutton reiterated his reluctance to relinquish author-
ity in such matters; Councilman Stephenson indicated his agreement.
Mr. Doherty contended it was the duty of the Council to see that
redevelopment action was taken and his committee believed an independent
agency could make the most progress.
Councilman Clark stated he believed redevelopment was an area
for a commission with a status of authority; however, responsibility for
expending taxpayer funds or getting involved in subsidy programs, emin-
ent domain condemnation proceedings, should remain in the realm of the
City Council.
The City Attorney advised appointing a Redevelopment Agency would
indicate a determination to go forward with a redevelopment pro~ect and
would give that agenc~ power to proceed.
C,~ncilman C%ark recommended putting the. issue on the November
3, 1970 General Election. ballot; Councilmen Thom and Dutton agreed this
would be acceptable. The City iAttorney waa~of t~ op~n£.on the deadline
for adding items to the November 3, 19707~eral Election Ballot had pass, ed.
David Collins, 1077 'West Ball Road,~declared his belief the City
Council was elected by the citizens of Anaheim and such~ issues as this
should not be. put on an election ballot.
70-469
City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTE,S-.September 8, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
Assistant City Manager Robert M. Davis advised that technically,
the Redevelopment Agency had not been discharged from their responsibilities,
although they had submitted their final report.
Larry Sierk, Executive Vice-President of the Anaheim Chamber of
Commerce, declared the position of the Anaheim Chamber of Con~nerce was that
some action must be taken on redevelopment of downtown Anaheim, either by
the City Council itself, or the Council appointing a Redevelopment Agency,
since even though downtown Anaheim is the better geographic location, retail
dollars are flowing out to suburban shopping centers.
Ben Cutter, owner of the former Lincoln House Cafeteria, stated
he had not been able to keep his facility rented because Anaheim's downtown
area, including sidewalks, is a "disaster." He added he had remodeled his
building twice and was going to do it again, since he believed redevelopment
was a responsibility of the City Council and downtown owners.
Jose Arias, member of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Executive Cc,m-
mittee and Resident Manager of the Disneyland Hotel, suggested the City Cou~.-
cil meet with the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee to set up
some guidelines.
Joseph White stated he believed Federal funds would be necessary
to carry on any redevelopment project.
Following Council discussion, Mayor Dutton appointed Councilman TLom
to set up a meeting of the City Council and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce
Executive Committee.
