FLOOD HAMARI~ SANTA ANA CANYO~-REp0~TS.; Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts re-
ferenced reports of work sessions the City Planning Commission has held with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Orange County Flood Control District re-
garding potential flood hazards in the Santa Aha Canyon in response to an
earlier request by the City Council that a study be made of potential densi-
ties for the Santa Ana Canyon area. Mr. Roberts advised that representatives
of these two agencies were prepared to address theCouncil this date.
The City Clerk introduced correspondence from American Mobil~home
Company dated October 2, 1970, :equesting permission to address the Council
with regard to a building permit for a Santa Ama Canyon location.
Lt. Col. S.J. Black, U,S. Army Corps of Engineers, in answer to a
letter received from the Development Services Department requesting an evalu-
ation of flood hazards of that portion of Santa Aha Canyon depicted as the
area north of the Santa Ana River, just east of Imperial Highway, advised
that, because of recent developments, they were not prepared to give a fair
evaluation of this area at this time; however, he stated that at the time a
presentation was made before the City Planning Commission a month previous,
the Corps of Engineers ad~sed very strongly against developing this area
for residential purposes, suggesting any development probably should be in-
dustrial.
Col. Black advised that that previous recommendation was based on
conditions existing in the Santa Aha River some months ago; it did not take
into account the flood control improvements recently accomplished by Orange
County Flood Control District in this area. He added that the previous flood
hazard report was based on what was then expected to be a maximum discharge
from Prado Dam of 80,000 second feet; however, re-evaluation since that time
of maximum discharge indicates, discharge would be substantially smaller and,
therefore, because of these two changes, the flood hazard, although still pres-
ent and still great, is not as great as emphasized a month earlier.
Col. Black advised that the Corps of Engineers could not complete
a re-evaluation of dangers existing to the Santa Ana Canyon from floods until
January or February, 1971. He stated that, although not to be considered of-
ficial at this time, it was felt that with the flood control improvements in
70-'520
City Hall,, Anaheim. Caltfornta.-GO~l~,~L MINUTES - October 6,. 1970, 1:30 P.M.
the a~ea and the revised discharge from Prado Dam, there probably would
be protection against floods that occur in the area~about once.every hun-
dred~:.-~fears, and added this belief is based on a maximum discharge..of 20,000
second feet from Prado Dam and additional inflow of 20,000 second feet
below Prado Dam.
Col. Black stated that, inasmuch as the Corps of Engineers his-
torically is very conservative in matters of flood control, after the evaiu-
ation is completed the
City Council probably would prefer to rety
Col. Black advised that the Corps of Engineers believes the Santa
Aha Canyon definitely wouldbe inundated by what they term a "st~dard,:~o~'~
ject flood," which in this case would have a chance of occurring every two
or three hundred years.
In outlining the work the Corps of Engineers'feels must be done
on Prado Dam to prepare for a standard project flood, Col. Black advised
it would be necessary to raise the dam, change the design of the spillway
and increase the size of the reservoir, at an estimated cost of $185 mil-
lion; improving channels below Prado Dam, in addition to Orange County
Flood Control District improvements, are estimated at $79 million, making
proposed total Federal eXpenditures of between $260 and $300 million (based
on 1970 dollars) on a probable time schedule as follows: general tnvesti-
~at~ report completed about August, 19~7!;approved by Corps of:Engineers
San Francisco headquarters and the Chief of Engineers office in Washing-
ton, D.C., forwarding of project to Congress, and subsequent funding to
be completed by Fiscal Year 1974; design of project under ideal conditions
to be completed in Fiscal Year 1978; construction, depending primarily on
funding, could be completed any time between 1982 and 1988.
Col. Blac~ referenced a display map wherein the Corps of Engin-
eers had depicted twe anticipated flood flows- 40,000 second feet dis-
charge measured at Imperial Highway that would come from Prado Dam plus
the inflow below Prado Dam, and 160,000 second feet that would result ~from
a standard project flood should it occur today before anyimprovements
could be made on Prado Dam, which, Col. Black.said, is the flood the Corps
of Engineers is concernedwith at this time. He added that, although the
probability is quite low, if the standard project flood did occur today,
it would top the levees, washing them out in many places, md cause exten-
sive damage not only in the SantaAna Canyon but throughout Orange County.
Col. Blac~ also called attention to a history of Santa Aha River
floods, reciting that the greatest flood of record was January 22, 1862,
where the 1937 report of.the San Bernardino Flood Control District engin-
eers estimated the flow was 3i7,000 second feet. Other floods, as.men-
tioned by Col. Black, were the flood of March 2, 1938, and then the twin
floods of January and February, 1969 of about 75 or 76 thousand second
feet, the first flood of any masnttude since completion of Prado Dam. He
stated that, had Prado Dam not b~en constructed at the time of the 1969
floods, Orange Countywould have suffered damages of between $300 and $400
million; whereas, the maximum overflow discharge at Chat time of 5,100
second feet did cause extensive damage in the Santa Aha Canyon.
Col. Black advised that the Orange County Flood Control District
now has designed and constructed safeguards to protect the Santa Aha Can-
yon from flows of the magnitude of the 1969 floods and somewhat larger
flows.
In answer to Councilman Clark, Col. Black advised that a 200 to
300 year flood'Would inundate and cause extensive damage to the entire City
of Anaheim.
Councilman Clark asked, in today's situation, how much greater
danger there would be to Canyon rather than City residents. Col. Black.
answered it is felt there probably is a 100-year protection at this time
70-521
City Hall, ~ahe.~m, Califo~ia -.CO~CI~L .~H~S - October 6, 1970, 1:30 p.M.~
in theCity and probably in the Canyon; however, in the event of a flooding
situation,~Canyon residents would hav~a very short time in which to evacuate,
particularly if flooding occurred during the night when residents would be
sleeping and, he stated, present road network in the Canyon is limited, and
thus there is a greater dang/er of losses of lives. He added that if the area
were developed industrially~ workers could more e~sily be warned.
Councilman Clark suggested that perhaps a flood of the 300 year mag-
nitude could be seen building up, and thus residents would have ample rime to
evacuate; Col. BLack advised there ~ould be as much as 6 hours of warning, but
that would not alloW'enough time to do more than warn residents. He further
stated the situation in the Los Angeles basin is compounded by very steep ter-
rain, short distances and highly intense rainfall, adding that the elevation
drop of the 40 or 50 miles of the Los Angeles River is as great as that for
the Mississippi River in its 2,000 or 3,000-mile length.
Councilman Dutton questioned the fact that there is no record of
the 1862 flood in Anaheim's historical documents. Col. Black gave Councilman
Dutton a copy of a report of the 1862 flood that he had obtained from the San
Bernardino County Flood Control District, and advised that, since the flood
waters had to come through a narrow canyon, the flow could have been lessened
considerably by the time it hit Anaheim.
Councilman Stephenson asked if floods occhrring at this time would
follow the same path aS in 1938. Col, Black advised that floods would now
follow the channels designed for them, unless they were of such magnitude
they would top the levees~ then they could go in any direction,
In answer to Councilman Thom's query of whether the Corps of Engin-
eers was withdrawing its recommendations of December, 1969 that residential
developments not be allowed in the Canyon area, Col. Black advised it was not
withdrawn but they were requesting an opportunity to study the effects of the
work.completed by the Orange CountF Flood Gontrol District to determine whe-
ther they would change their reco~endatlons.
The Council dgreed such a studF would be desirable,
H. George 'Osborne, Chief Engineer of the Orange County Flood Control
District, stated, it was.contemplated the Corps of Engineers would modify their
dam so a standard project flood would not go over the spillway, and that the
modified project would have a maximum controlled release of 20,000 cubic feet
per second, adding that the Orange County Flood Control District's downstream
channel work is predicated on this taking place in the future, and also ap-
plied to the channelization completed in the area of the rezoning application..
Hr..Os~me Stated the Orange County Flood Control District has not
studied flood routing t.h~ugh thereservoir either as it exists or might be
modifled in the future Since it would be a tremendoUs task and one it is an-
ticipated would be done 5y the Corps of Engineers.
In answer to Councilman Thom~ Mr. OsbOrne advised a flood hazard
letter to the Real Estate GommlSston w~uld be based on Corps of Engineers
report as to the discharge from Prado Dam,
City Manager Keith Mairdoch asked if, as the Corps of Engineers es-
timated, dam and upstream reservoir worlc could not be completed for about 20
years, the riskt6 that there will not be a 200 to 300 year flood within that
time.
Hr. Osborne replied in the affirmative, and added that it was just
the last few years that the larger flows have been developed, since the Board
of Supervisors had requested Congress to authorize the Corps of Engineers to
resurvey the flood program in Orange County less than 10 years ago, which study
showed the Prado Dam deficiency as to a standard project flood, based on the
tremendous amount of development which has taken place in the upper part of
the watershed.

City Hall, Anahe.i~, Calffornia'.~_'C(3lNCIL HINUTES - Oct6ber 6, 197_0, 1:30 P.M.
Fw,, ~rdOch..requested a definite flood hazard recommendation on
the confined portion "o£ the' .Ca.'n~n upstream from ..Imperial tttghway since
He,'.. OSborne had stated condt'C'lons, differ between that area and the rela-
tively flat areas.
Hr:.. O.ibo~ne '.sca,odd that if a governing' body., is presented with
technical testimony .that"'a:¢ertain area would bS flooded to a certain
depth and in a certain fr'equency, that body would have to weigh the prob-
able · life of the imProvementi' to be put in there, the Warning time avail-
able, and' other factors, in making their decision.
In answer to Assistant City Attorney John .Dawson~ }ir. Osborne
explained ~that' the.-term "100~'y~ar. flood!' meant that'over a period of sew.
era1 thousand years a fl0od:,.of that magnitude' occurred ob an average of
every 100 years'.
In answer to Counci'lman Clark, Hr. Osborne stated that, in the
event of ,a flood at' this t/me, .he would prefer the.safety' cha'nces of a
city subdiviSiOn to a ca.nyon, subdivision, and added that· the closer a per-
son gets to the canyon 'the gr'.eate'r the prObabilit',y Of s'eVere damage in a
standard pro.Ject flood Bec/us/'flood waters spre.ad Ss they. get farther
down. He added that if .there wa'i a standard project flood of 160,000 cu-.
bic feet per second, 50,000 cubic, feet per second probably ~ould be in
the channel and would .fi.ad an °Utlet near Sania Aha and out to the ocean,
and would flood the Talber~~ Vall'ey~ and then the. reit' of ~he flood ~aters
would be outside t'he cha..nnel' s-e'ek~ng some new psth~ prObablY through

the Santa Aha Can~on area (ReclaS~i~tcation 1~o. 69-70-18, Conditional Use

Clark expressed the.opinion that, according to Col. BlaCk's statements,
there probably would not .be '~ problems in that area,
CounCilman Thom asked what the liabilities .of the City would be
in alloying construction on this project to proceed prior to completion
of the proposed study,, Hr,. Dawson advised that a city does what it can
to preserve and save lives of its, people and property., but has no legal
liability in con~ction with the use of property by citizens; however,
the State, through its Corporation Conznission and Real Estate Co~,nission,
may require a flood hazard report.

City Hall, Anahe.$m, Cal.ifornia- COUNCIL MINtFfES r October 6, 1970., 1:30 P.M,
Inasmuch as zoning reclassification and a conditional use permit
previously"had been granted for the mobile home park development in the Santa
Aha CanyOn area (ReClassification No. 69-70-18 and Conditional Use Permit No.
1138), Councilman Pebley moved to issue the requested building permit to Ameri-
can Mobilehome Com~m~ny for their recreational building, construction to pro-
ceed at their own risk. Councilman Clark seconded the motion, To thtS Mo-
tion Councilman Stephenson voted "No." MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Murdoch stated that American Mobilehome Compa~'.probably is
further ahead in development plans for the Canyon area than 0~her developers,
and also that there is some question as to whether a mobile home park requires
a flood control clearance letter.
Councilman Clark asked about other proposed developments that would
be held up by a Council decision to await completion of the study by the Corps
of Engineers.
Mr. Roberts advised the Orange County Planning Co-w, ission recently
had approved requests for R-S-5,000 single-family subdivision developments
on the Kraemer and Liberio properties in the Canyon east of the aforementioned
proposed mobile home park developments, subject to the developers obtaining a
satisfactory flood hazard letter and completing necessary circulation links;
the Orange County planning Co-w,i~Sion is holding up action on a request from
American Mobilehome Company to develop a mobile home park on the Danker pro-
perty east of M~eller Drive; and the Yorba property, west of the. Danker pro-
perty, is being proposed for R-2-4,000 multiple-family residential zoning,
and indications are aPplication probably will be made for a mobile home park
development for that property.
Mr. Roberts advised that a recent Local Agency Formation Co~aission
decision approved for annexation by the City' of Anaheim the property north of
the Santa Ana River in that area; however, necessary annexation action., zoning
and subsequent building permit requests probabl~ could not be completed prior
to completion of the Corps of Engineers flood hazard study.
With regard to Other developments, Mr. Roberts advised the City
Planning Co~ission bn October 5, 1970, did approve R-1 development of three
tracts west of Lakevtew Avenue where it comes across the River, and, since
there is now a Resolution of Intent on these tracts, development could be de-
layed a month or two by Council decision to await the Corps of Engineers flood
hazard study.
Mayor Dutton invited Harry Rtnker, of Rinker Development Corporation,
10600 Katetla Avenue, to address the Council.
Mr. Rtnker stated he could see no justification for holding up de-
velopment for the Corps of Engineers study; that for years a 100 year flood
control letter has been acceptable, and asked that developers' engineers be
allowed to present their case if the Council is seriously considering holding
up development for completion of the study.
Assistant City Attorney John Dawson advised the City Planning Com-
mission at one of their hearings on this subject invited engineers of devel-
opers to present their arguments to the Co~aission, and received no response
other than a request for continuance from Mr. Kraemer..
Mr. Rinker stated he believed any Orange County Flood control Dist-
rict flood hazard letter 'would recite the December, 1969 decision of the Corps
of Engineers, and it was his belief the Corps of Engineers should retract in
writing that previous' decision since their verbal co-w,~nts ind~ea~ed.':o~her-
wise.
In reply to Councilman Thom, Mr. Dawson.advised that the City Plan-
ning Co~ission at their October 5, 1970 meeting had made the decision to con-
tinue to recommend iow density development in the Santa Ana Canyon area; how-
ever, they may require a letter from the Flood Control District as to the ac-
tual availability of the property as being usable.

Councilman Thom reminded the Council that the Orange County Flood
COntrol District representative today had stated any flood hazard letter
would be;issued:t~tin~the~rps of ~ngineers Ve~m~ber','1969,:decision'until
such time as the Corps of Engineers issues a revised statement, and thus
he believed the CounCil should proceed on development applications as it
has been until the Corps of Engineers revised report is received.
Councilman Stephenson reiterated his belief that construction
should be delayed pending receipt of the revised report by the Corps of
En.g~neers.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the
City Council dgreed to continue to process building permits and zoning ap-
plications as processed in the past. To this Hotton, Councilman Stephen-
son voted ,No."' MOTION CARRIED.

as an Urgency ordinance for adoption. Said ordinance was read in full by

perty recently Purchased near the corner of Jefferson Street and Santa Aha
Canyon Road, with precut lots and alley and street improvements in, on
which his company had planned to develop condominium fOurplexes, could not
meet offStreet parking requirementa under the proposed condominium ordin~
ance.

REVENUE SOURCES - UTILITIES TAX,.ADM~SSlQN~ TAX: The City Manager reference reports
by the Finance Director on possible additional sources of revenue from a Utili-
ties Tax or .an Admissions Tax, and advised that a 5% tax on all utilities
could produc~ approximately $2,000,000.00 in revenues per year,
With regard to an admissions tax, Mr. Murdoch advised that, if such
a tax is adopted, i~ is recoawaended it apply wherever an admission fee is
charged, inctudin~ a cover oh~e but ~luding a minimum charge on as broad
a base as legall~ possible, and the tax rate be set as follows:
TAX RA~E
$1,00 or less ..... - ........ ~ - $0o10
$1.01 to $2100 .... ' ............ $0.,15
$2,01 to-$3.00 ~ .... - - ~ $0,20
$3.01 Or more - - - - ....... $0,25
Mr, Mardoch advise~d such an admissions tax rate could yield about
$3,000,000.00 annually in revenue~
In answer to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Murdoch stated thatone or
the other of ~h~s~ proposed ta~es would meet capital outla~ requirements for
at least a year or so.
Councilman Button rgquest'ed a study of khe economiC'ramtf~cations
of each of these taxes.
Mr. Fmrdoch advised that a letter dated October 2, 1970, from Jack
Lindquist, of Dfsneyland, in opposition to an admissions tax., should be made
a part of the record,
In reply to Councflman)i~t~on's request for a report on how money
received from the se~arat;e tax proposals would be used, Mr, Murdoch advised
that previous' discussion had indicated revenues would be used for capital
outlay requirements.
Mr. Murdoch further advised that if an additional source of revenue
is to be adopted, affected .businesses should be given sufficient time to make
the necessary arrangements.
Ted Bowsfield, O~er~tions Director of the California Angels, advised
they would require a notice of six months before opening game to allow for
printing of tickeW~s, etc., if an admissions tax were to be adopted.

NEGOTIATIONS - FIREMEN!S PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION; The City Manager reported that
the Firemen's Prote~ive Association had requested a meeting with him to fur-
ther discuss matters previously discussed with the negotiating team repre-
senting the City Manager and City Council and advised that, inasmuch as there
has been no formal acceptance or rejection by the Firemen's Protective Asso-
ciation of the final offer by the City, according to the articles under which
these negotiations are carried on, it was not possible for the City Manager
to meet with them until such time as a formal notice has'been received.
At the invitation of Councilmen Thom and Clark, Jan Hagan, repre-
senting the Firemen's Protective Asso~tation, addressed the Council.
Mr. Hagan advised the Firemen's Protective ~Ss°ciation believes
discussion with the negotiating team~as been unsatisfactory and they would
like to confer with the City Manager and the City{~ouncil.
Mayor Dutton reminded Mr. Hagan that negotiations should be conduc-
ted through proper channels.
Mr. Hagan said they have been unable to get the negotiating team
to discuss comparison of salaries of Anaheim Firemen with other cities and
it was felt Anaheim is behind in its formula in that instead of being the
8th highest salaries as would be indicated by the size of Anaheim, in real-
ity the wage scale reduces them to 18th or 20th in the State.
70- 530
City _Hall_, .Anaheim, California - COL~I¢IL MINUTE~ - Oc. tober.6, 1970, 1:30 P.M..
In .answer to Councilman Stephenson, M~, Hagan stated the cities
with higher salaries do not have the CHP Retirement Plan, an4 added that in
order to be in ith position in the State, the Police Department would have
had to have increases of 8-1/2%; however, they chose the lower salary in
order to receive the additional retirement benefits.
Mr. Hagan advised he was not prepared at this time for detailed
discussion'with the Coubcii, and requested an opportunity to present t-heir
arguments at a later date.,
Councilman Thom indicated he Wbuld'~e willing to listen further;
Councilman Dutton stated he could not agree to a discussion until the Fire-
men's Protective Association had'fulfilled its obligatio~s under the rules
of negotiation.
The City Manager advised that a final offer had been made to the
Firemen's Protective Association and, unless the City Council wishes to
withdraw that offer, the next move is up to the'AssoCiation to either ac-
cept or reject the offer before either he or the Council can meet with them.
Councilman Clark advised that~ although he would agree to a meet-
ing with the Firemen's Protective Association, the 'rUles of negotiation
with an employee association must be. abided by.
Bill Horan, Anaheim Fire Department, enumerated the offers made
by the Anaheim Fire Department in an effort to reach an' agreement and: asked
if the Council had been made aware of these offers.
Mayor Dutton assured Mr. Horan the Offers'had been relayed to
the Council and reminded him that,~ even though the Coumctl invited them
out of fhe audience to address the Council, they could'not legally dis-
cuss negotiations until there had'been either a formal acceptance or re-
jection of th~ City's final offer.
__ANA~.~IM ~/NICIPAL. EMPLOYEE.~..ASSOC!ATION - I~GOTIATIONS: The. City Manager re-
ported that the AnaheimMunicipal Employees Association had formally re-
jected the final offer' of the City as presented to them by the negotiating
team, and had requested an opportunity to address the Councti.
Jake Petrosino, Chairman of the A.M.E..A. Negotiating Committee,
advised the'final offer of the Ci.t~ had been rejected by A.M.E.A. members
by a vote of 108 to 3, and presented their requests,
Mr. PetrosinO presented a data sheet on.linemen's salaries. Mr.
MurdOch'remindedltr. PetrOstno the A,M.E;A. did not represent the linemen
and therefore, such data might be inappropriate.
Mr~ Petrosino presented their demands for a one-year contract
of a 7-1/2% tncreaSe,.frinie benefits as offered by the City, and, addi-
tionally, no change'to be made in the Parks and ReCreation Uniform policy.
With regard to the PErks and Recreation uniform policy, Mr. Pet-
rosino Stated that at their first negotiating meeting the City indicated
an intention to change the present uniform policy for Parks and Recreation
maintenance emplOyees, wherein, uniforms are furnished and laundered by the
City, to the policy of the City providing the uniforms~ and the employees
laundering them.
Mr. Petrosino said it was felt laundering these uniforms, in ad-
dition to putting another burden on the family, could present a hazard to
the families of the employees because the uniforms are worn when pesticides
and herbicides are being used,
Councilman Clark suggested a laundry allowance could be given to
employees so their uniforms could be washed a~ a commercial laundry, rather
than at home.
70-531
City Hall, A~ahgim, California -.G0~C.IL ~gS - October 6, 1970, 1~30 P~M.
In reply to Councilman PeBley's statement that a member of the Parks
and Recreation Department had been present at the City Council meeting when
the uniform policy was discussed and had indicated the change was desired by
the employees, Mr~ Petrosino advised he had a petition from the employees ob-
jecting to the change,
Mr, Murdoch stated it is questionable whether the uniform policy
is a negotiable item under the ~ of understanding with employee organiza-
tions; however, it has been treated as such. It is the City's opinion that
it has a right to determine whether a uniform should be furnished at all, and
if so, how it will be furnished.
Mr. Petrosino said their f~nal proposal was for a one-year contract
for a 7-1/2% ~a~ary increase plus fringe benefits; however, if the Council
desires to continue discussion on a two, year basis, they would resubmit their
proposal of October 1, 1970~
Hr. Petrosino stated he 'had been unable to get the City negotiating
team to discuss their request that the Personnel Department be responsibl~
for notifying the A.M.E.A. when lay~offs of personnel occur~ Mr. Murdoch ad-
vised that the negotiating team could not discuss this item since the proced-
ure for notifying the Association on lay-offs is not a negotiable item at
this time; if there has been an error in that the A.M.E.A. has not been no-
t~fied of lay-o~fs, this will be rectified, but the procedure on notification
'-~ a management prerogative,
