PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 2214: Submitted by Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Company, to erect a 225-foot tower to enclose telephone microwave equipment
on C-2 zoned property bounded on the east by Lemon Street, on the south by
Chartres Street, on the west by Clementine Street, and on the north by Cypress
Street, with waiver of:
a. Maximum building height.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-191,
granted said variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. That subject property shall be developed substantially in ac-
cordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim, marked
Exhibit Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, provided however, if a 4th story is not to be con-
structed, revised plans shall be submitted to staff for approval prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
2. That this variance shall be in effect for a period of three years
to allow time for its construction, and that at the end of said three years if
any additional time is necessary, a time extension equal to the original three
years may be granted by the Planning Commission and/or City Council.
Review of action taken by the City Planning Commission was requested
by the City Council at their meeting held November 10, 1970.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject pro-
perty, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the
evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission.
Mayor Dutton asked if a representative of the Petitioner wished to
address the City Council.
Mr. Hal Marks, representing the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Com-
pany, submitted for Council review colored rendering of the building with over-
lays depicting the tower at the originally-requested height of 225 feet, and
at a lower elevation of 153 feet, together with a sketch of the proposed buil-
ding addition. He advised that the originally-requested 225 feet was based on
70-696
City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- Dec-tuber 15, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
a 24-story office building, projected for construction in "The City" de-
velopment in Orange, which would be located in the path between Anaheim
and Corona Del Mar. Since that time, said construction in Orange had
been postponed for two to three years, which allowed a revision in the
necessary height of the tower to 153 feet. Another requirement for the
tower was based on ground interference between Anaheim and Los Angeles,
which the extra height would eliminate. Further, he referred to a new
4A Switching Machirm, to be installed and used to provide for present and
future direct-dialing growth in Orange County as well as the Los Angeles
Basin, noting additions to the building to accommodate the new machine,
including a penthouse surrounding the tower, to provide for future radio
growth. He advised that the building was structured for a maximum of
four stories, and the tower foundation would accommodate no more than 225
feet in height, if in the future additional height is required.
Mr. Marks further requested an 831foot building variation, if
possible, noting that since the City Planning Commission hearing, the 4A
Switching Machine had become an approved project, and at the penthouse
level, the building would necessarily be constructed to a height of 83
feet.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson's question pertaining to what
types of materials would be used on the building additions, Mr. William S.
Braswell, 410 North La Brea, Los Angeles, Architect, advised that the tower
would be enclosed on all four sides, and would be finished, along with the
building addition, in materials to match and harmonize with the existing
terra cotta, the new building entrance to be located at the base of the
tower portion. He displayed a sample of the construction material to be
used, together with a sketch depicting the proposed elevation of the com-
pleted project. Another sketch illustrated the elevation from the parking
lot side, showing the two proposed heights and the existing microwave tower.
Councilman Dutton asked Mr. Marks why they now proposed to delay
the construction of the tower to the ultimate height for two to three years,
and further inquired whether the telephone microwave equipment would have
any proposed application to cable television.
Mr. Marks stated that the tower equipment would have no connec-
tion with cable television; that they do not intend to take the tower to
the requested ultimate height unless some development such as that pro-
posed in Orange, tak~place to interfere with the signal. At the time
the variance petition was originally filed, the 24-story building appeared
imminent. He indicated they were aware an additional variance applica-
tion would be required at such time as the 225-foot height was necessary.
Further discussion was held, and at the conclusion thereof, on
the recommendations of the City Attorney, Councilman Clark moved that pub-
lic hearing on Variance No. 2214 be continued to December 29, 1970, 1:30
P.M., and that the application be referred to the City Planning Commission
for report and recommendation on the penthouse portion of the proposed
building addition. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Rendering and sketch were returned to the Architect for the pro-
ject.
PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1208: Submitted by Kimbrell and
Kimbrell, Incorporated, to establish a 95-unit condominium complex; R-3
zoned property located north of Santa Ana Canyon Road, fronting on both
sides of Kodiac Street and the west side of Tustin Avenue, with waiver of:
a. Minimumnumber of required parking spaces.
b. Minimum required building setback.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-
205, denied said conditional use permit.
Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Comission was filed
by Dan E. Partin, Agent, of Balboa Pacific Development Company, and public
70-697
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MTN-trfES - DeceMber 15, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
hearing scheduled this date.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject pro-
perty and in su~aariztng the hearing held before the City Planning Commission
advised that subject application covers 25 lots of an existing R-3 subdivision.
Approximately 50% of the northerly lots have been developed. The Applicant
requests permission to develop 4-plexes on 23 of the undeveloped lots, re-
serving one lot for recreation facilities and the other lot for additional
parking for the entire project.
Mr. Roberts explained the original application was for 96 units on
24 lots with one lot for recreation, and provided 168 parking spaces, while
Code provisions would require 240 parking ~paces for a condominium develop-
ment, or 2-1/2 parking spaces per unit.
Revised plans considered by the City Planning Commission yesterday
reflect a total of 91 units for 23 lots, the remaining 2 lots to be used for
recreation and parking. The parking requirements would be reduced to 227
spaces, and 185 spaces are now proposed.
The City Planning Commission felt nothing was basically changed to
alter their recommendations and thereupon reaffirmed their previous position
of denial primarily on the basis of the need for 2-1/2 parking spaces per unit
for condominium developments and that parking spaces should be evenly distri-
buted throughout the project rather than concentrated in the center.
Plans and files were reviewed by the City Council.
Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicants' representative wished to ad-
dress the City Council.
Mr~ Dan E. Parttn, of Balboa Pacific Development Company, 17811 Sky
Park Circle, Suite F, Irvine, California, Agent, addressed the City Council
advising it was their opinion that the proposed fourplexes which were to be
constructed south of the developed first half of the subdivision had been de-
signed in conformance with the use of the property under the existing zoning
code, and that new plans provided the best available attempt to satisfy park-
ing requirements, with a 2.2 to 1 parking ratio, as compared to 1-1/4 parking
for the 4-plexes immediately adjoining. He explained that the condominium
concept was the sole means of providing lower-cost or intermediate housing
in this area; that the units would consist of some three-bedroom and two styles
of two-bedroom units, single-story and studio types; and that the prices would
range from $16,550.00 to $21,000.00 per unit. He stated that the design uti-
lized the most area of parking possible, based on a fourplex development and
one of the limitations on subject project is that this is an existing sub-
division with lots of record which were designed for 4-plexes. The width
limitation of the lots limit the parking at the rear to seven and eight park-
ing spaces. Providing 2 parking spaces per unit was their best attempt to
solve a situation that is truly an unknown.
Mr. Geisler advised that the developers could construct the same
unit with 1-1/4 parking spaces per unit except for the method of sale, that
is selling them as condominiums. In adopting the Urgency Ordinance regulat-
ing condominiums, generally speaking the City Council is careful not to im-
pose a hardship upon those who have committed themselves under the former
ordinance.
As to the recently adopted Ordinance, Mr. Geisler advised that it
was his opinion that 2-1/2 parking spaces per unit required for condominiums
was reasonable, inasmuch as these developments usually eliminate streets and
use 10-foot or 20-foot access drives which would eliminate street parking in
order to provide for emergency vehicles such as fire equipment; however, this
property is a standard subdivision including streets which provide additional
parking; and he further noted that the same fourplexes could be constructed
as proposed.as an R-3 apartment development.
70-698
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 15, 1970,1:30 P.M.
In answer to Councilman Thom's question, Assistant Director of De-
velopment Services Ronald Thompson advised that the City Planning Commission
reviewed the revised plans but determined that not only did the parking ra-
tio not comply with the Urgency Ordinance adopted by the City Council, but
said parking was not adequately distributed throughout the project so as to
be conveniently located near the units intended to be served. He noted that
the Staff was considering new criteria and guide lines for condominiums, the
Urgency Ordinance having been offered as an interim standard to aid develop-
ers while the matter is under further study.
Mayor I)utton asked if anyone else wished to address the City Coun-
cil, either for or against subject conditional use permitg there.being no
response, declared the hearing closed.
Council discussion was held, and Councilman Clark was of the opin-
ion that the plans could be further revised to conform with standards of the
Ordinance, and rather than deny the application, he moved that decision be
continued to February 2, 1971, for the completion of standards now in prog-
ress.
Mr. Geisler advised of conversation with the attorney for the de-
velopment and assured him that the City Council would consider the hardship
being imposed upon them because of their plan at time of hearing. Their At-
torney was contemplating bringing a law suit against the City as, in their
opinion, considering the stage of development, the Urgency Ordinance should
not apply to them.
Mr. Partin returned to the speaker's stand, stating that in his
personal opinion, a ratio of 2 to 1 parking was sufficient and he felt that,
rather than to delay the project even further, the developers would rather
abort the condominium concept and develop the property as 4-plexes under the
existing zoning laws.
Councilman Clark withdrew his motion to continue.
To make the situation perfectly clear, Mr. Geisler reported if the
Conditional Use Permit is approved by the City Council the project will be
built with 2 garages per unit with recreation facilities; if denied, it will
be built with 4-plexes with 1-1/4 garages per unit.
Mr. Thompson corrected the 1-1/4 garage requirement, advising of
an amendment requiring 1-1/2 garages for 2-bedroom units or smaller, and
2-1/4 for 3-bedroom units. The Applicant is aware of the current require-
ments and, in his opinion, it could develop as a standard R-3 development.

area bounded by Rosewood Avenue on the north, State College Boulevard on the

The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-150,
recommended approval of General Plan Amendment No. 121, in accordance with Ex-
hibit "B", indicating this area as being appropriate for medium density resi-
dential land uses.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject pro-
perty, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the evi-
dence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission.
Mr. Roberts reported that revised plans for the proposed development
on subject property had been submitted this date, which appeared to resolve a
great number of the objections expressed at the Planning Commission hearing;
that Mr. Jack Davis, Authorized Agent, indicated approval of public hearing
before the City Council being continued for two weeks to allow Planning Com-
mission review of the plans.
Mr. Roberts displayed Exhibits "~' and "B" of the General Plan Amend-
ment, reporting that Alternate "~' depicted iow-medium density, and "B" illus-
trated medium density, and he noted findings of the Planning Commission in re-
commending approval of Exhibit "B". He pointed out that it would not be neces-
sary to continue public hearing on the General ~lan Amendment.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the City Council.
Mr. Robert Godwin, 1900 East Rosewood Avenue, requested clarifica-
tion of the proposed continuance, being concerned that the revisions to the
plans be carefully considered at the public hearing.
Mr. Godwin was informed that the plans would be reviewed by the Staff
and the Planning Commission, with verbal report and recommendation from the Com-
mission to the Council at the continued public hearing date, at which time in-
terested parties would be given an opportunity to be heard.

and noted that they would only require equipment which was on hand at the fa-
cility. She stated that they would work with the Staff to complete arrange-
ments and assume the costs of any additional expense imcurred.
Councilman Clark moved that request to use the Anaheim Room of the
Anaheim Convention Center for the "Miss Anaheim" Pageant, April 29 and 30,
1971, be granted in accordance with the recommendations of the Director of
the Stadium and Convention Center. Councilman Stephenson seconded the motion.

munity Antenna Television franchise was submitted.
The Mayor invited the Applicants to address the Council.
Don Canfield, 6960 Starstone Drive, Palos Verdes, used slides to
illustrate his presentation on their cable television system, stating that
at present they can offer reception for 30 to 35 FM Stations, all of the tele-
vision channels off the air, plus 7 channels of local origination, which in-
cludes a weather and newspaper service, co~aunity affairs channel, community
sports and entertainment channel, and 4 educational television channels, with
priority use going to local school systems. He further advised that in order
to provide unity of service for the Anaheim Unified School District, they have
70-703
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 15, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
signified a desire to file for a franchise in Cypress and Los Alamttos and
have received an indication that these cities would entertain the applica-
tions. He 'added that their equipment can be installed underground or over-
head, depending on where utilities are located in the area. Mr. Canfield,
in describing the master antenna, stated that this equipment is installed
according to zoning in the area and is screened by trees wherever possible.
He advised that Hughes Aircraft Company and Teleprompter Corporation each
own 50% of ~e t~ ~able, and also a similar company, Teleprompter-Manhattan
and that Hughes Aircraft Company also owns about 7% of Teleprompter Corpora-
tion. Teleprompter Corporation presently has 450,000 subscribers, Tele-
prompter-Manhattan has 28,000, and Theta Cable, 25,000. He stated that
Theta Cable presently has the largest cable system in operation in the Los
Angeles basin, which includes franchises for the Santa Monica Mountains,
Santa Monica, Ventura County and Marina Del Rey. Mr. Canfield noted that
34 Teleprompter Corporation systems presently have local origination pro-
grams and FCC requirements set for April 1, 1971 deadline. He also stated
Theta Cable would offer 12 channels of television for $5.00 per month, 7
channels of which would be VHF and 5 UHF, plus FM; for $6.00 per month,
with installation of a box to allow tuning in above Channel 13, subscribers
could receive 7 VHF, 7 UHF, 3 locally-originated channels, and 4 channels
for educational TV, plus FM. Mr. Canfield advised his company proposed to
build a studio in Anaheim, with color and black and white television equip-
ment, and also a mobile facility to allow coverage of events throughout
the City. He also stated it was their belief that with 3 channels for
local origination available, there would be a revival of co..--unity theatre,
an activity that had become almost non-existent with the advent of network
TV.
Mr. Canfield advised that their system, at present, is equipped
to handle 4 additional channels some time in the future, making a total of
25 channels that could be available to subscribers.
In reply to Councilman Clark, Mr. Canfield advised that there
would be a charge of $1.00 for each additional television set in a home,
and the initial rate for an apartment building having over 20 units would
be $2.00 per month.
In reply to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Canfield stated that Theta
Cable would be responsible for installing its own equipment in new sub-
divisions, concurrent with installation of telephone and power lines, and
there would be no expense to the developer for this; if overhead utilities
were later put underground, Theta Cable would pay its share of that instal-
lation.
Mr. Canfield went on to explain that Hughes Aircraft Company and
Teleprompter Corporation propose to file jointly for permission to put up
a domestic satellite to enable movement of television signals throughout
the United States.
With regard to the future of Theta Cable, Mr. Canfield advised
present estimates are that complete two-way cable television will be pos-
sible in from three to ten years, which would allow homes to have fire and
intrusion sensing devices, meter reading, home shopping service, and capa-
bility to signify which television program is being viewed and if the pro-
gram is to the viewer's liking. It would also make it possible for profes-
sions, such as medical and legal, to have a private channel for transmission
of data, and for classroom response by students unable to attend school.-
Replying to Councilman Thom, Mr. Canfield stated that where over-
head utilities are used their system would go on existing poles, for which
they would pay a nominal yearly fee. Mr. Canfield further advised that bor-
ing techniques are predominantly used in underground installations to avoid
tearing up streets and defacing property, and also to eliminate the hazards
of trenches; however, when it is necessary to dig trenches for installation
the original condition is restored upon completion.
He advised, in reply to Councilman Thom, that installations are
made along existing easements.

Cit~ Hall, Anaheim, California - couNcIL MINUTES - December 15, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Canfield stated that subscribers
pay for underground trenching from th~ property line into the home at an ap-
proximate cost of 75 cents per foot, including conduit; however, a subscriber
may elect to dig his own trenches. He added that the overhead installation
charge, including bringing the lead into the house and providing the cables
from the pole for the aerial system, is $19.50, although the first 30 days
after the plant is energized past the house is free of charge. However, in
underground systems the installation charge is based on time and material.
Councilman Dutton reported that during the recent National League of
Cities meeting in Atlanta, he attended a presentation on cable television and
had discussions with several attendees who now have such systems in their area.
As a result, he asked that the following aspects be explored to arrive at a
criteria of what the City is going to expect and demand in cable television:
1. Should the City franchise.
2. What standard should be applied.
3. What revenues can the City expect.
4. Is the character of an applicant relevant.
5. What services are provided and guaranteed.
6. What technical standards will be required.
The City Manager stated that if the Council is interested in explor-
ing the possibilities of cable television franchising it would be necessary to
develop specifications and advertise to allow other applicants an opportunity
to bid upon the franchise. He added that his Staff currently is in the pro-
cess of preparing a report for the Council on their investigations.
In reply to questions from the Council, Mr. Canfield advised that
since their prime objective is satisfied customers, an exclusive franchise
would not be needed. He further advised that their application proposes the
entire City could be serviced for cable television within two years after pole
clearance has been received.
In answer to Councilman Thom, Mr. Canfield advised that they have a
general construction franchise from Orange County.
Mr. Canfield stated they have offered Anaheim 5% of gross revenues,
which is the maximum presently allowed by State Code.
john W. Atwood, Vice-President of Theta Cable of California, advised
that although there is no two-way cable service available at this time, his com-
pany is planning on testing such a system this Spring. Also, at this time there
is a maximum capability of 32 television channels, and this is what is proposed
here.
Mr. Atwood assured Councilman Dutton that as greater capabilities be-
came available they would be provided to Anaheim subscribers.
With regard to. exclusive franchises, Mr. Atwood expressed the opinion
that such a franchise would not be legal in California.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Stephenson, the
City Manager was directed to develop specifications preparatory to granting a
franchise for cable television. MOTION CARRIED.
At the suggestion of the City Manager, a target date of January 19,
1971 was set for finalization of physical and contractual specifications, pub-
lic services involved, expectations with regard to show productions,, etc.
REQUEST - R & R CATERING (~[rNICIPAL GOLF COURSE): Co~nuntcation dated December 1,
1970, from C.M. Roch, President, R & R Catering, concessionaires at the Anaheim
Municipal Golf Course, was submitted requesting approval by the City Council of

Golf Course.
Brief discussion was held, and the City Manager reported that exper-
ience with the present concession operation, which included a beer license, had
been satisfactory with good controls exercised.

CULTURAL ARTS CENTER - HORACE MANN SCHOOL: The City Manager submitted request
from the Cultural Arts Commission asking the City Council to consider the
following:
1. Accepting Horace Mann School Building from the 'Anaheim School
District and assume the liability, parking and maintenance of the building
and grounds.
2. Advance funds for minimum in~nediate necessary refurbishing cost
needed with confirmation from organizations committed to repay the City over
a period of years.
At the invitation of the City Council, Mr~ Mary Jones, Chairman
of the Cultural Arts Commission, addressed the Council.
Mrs. Jones advised that the Cultural Arts Commission is scheduled
to appear before the Anaheim Elementary School Board on January 12, 1971, to
present their plans for use of the Horace Mann Elementary School for a Cul-
tural Arts Center. She requested assurance that the necessary money would
be advanced by the City on the same basis as had previously been advanced
in the case of the Lions Club construction of the La Palma Recreation Buil-
ding, and the Soroptimist Club purchase of the Show Wagon, before their or-
ganization begins a campaign to secure financial pledges to insure repayment
to the City.
Mr. Mmrdoch advised that at the request of the Cultural Arts Com-
mission, a review has been made of the items formerly listed in the refur-
bishment proposal to determine minimum needs to the building before initial
occupancy, and also to determine those items which could be done by contract,
or could be undertaken by City crews or work parties provided by interested
organizations. The revised figure, including the parking area, totalled ap-
proximately $55,000.00. This represents the amount of cash that would have
to be raised to implement the project. The remaining items could be with-
held initially, and some could be accomplished by work parties. He stated
there is quite a list of items that can be done by work parties. In some
areas materials can be furnished by the organization providing the work party,
or perhaps materials could be provided by one group and the actual work be
done by members of various organizations.
In answer to .Councilman Pebley, Mr. Murdoch stated there was no pro-
vision for air conditioning in the revised requirements. However, it is be-
lieved some heating system would be necessary. This would be an electric heat-
ing system installed in the floorboards, and if air conditioning is installed
at a later date, it would be a separate system.
Mr. Murdoeh briefly itemized repairs that must be made before use
of the building, as follows:
1. Masonry repairs (planned with contributed funds), approximately
$lOO.OO.
2. Acoustical plaster - 6 classroom ceilings, after preparation of
the area by work parties (contract item), approximately $207.00.
Hardware - replacing standard security system, approximately
$600.00.

Possible new cabinets in kitchens and rest rooms (no amount
Painting exterior and interior. Exterior to be deferred 2

7. Replace broken roof tile, (a repair that can be delayed, and
no amount budgeted.)

duced if some areas can be eliminated) - $3,940.00.
9. Plt, mbing - $5,500.00.
10. Heating - $12,000.00.
11. Electric Wiring - $15,000.00.
12. Light Fixtures (replace classroom-type lighting) - $2,000.00.
13. Ventilator Fans - 2 rest rooms - $256.00~
14. Full Drapes, Auditorium and 6 class rooms (deferred at this
time as being an item to be accomplished by contributions of one or more
organizations. The same being true for additional furniture or carpet.)
15. Remove and salvage blackboards and cabinets from 6 class
rooms (deferred at this time).
16. Sandblast exterior of the building (deferred at this time.)
17. Fabricate and install guards on 17 w~ndows on west side of
the building. (No amount reported.)
18. Parking Area, (this item has not been re-analyzed, the pre-
vious figure is estimated,) $9,000.00.
Mr. Murdoch reported that with adjustments of costs since the
original estimate was made, it is estimated that the investment would to-
tal $55,000.00.
Mrs. Jones stated that the Commission recognized that the ini-
tial proposal to refurbish the building would have resulted in a very fine
facility, however, it was also realized that the need for such a facility
was so great, and the co~.~.~unity $~terest and support was sufficient to make
th~ a truly successful community project. She reported that before going
to the community, assurance is necessary that the City would accept the
School and assume the responsibility for maintenance and operation.
Mr. M~rdoch reported that maintenance of the building is esti-
mated at $16,000.00, operational costs and incidental repairs would be ap-
proximately the same amount, or a total of approximately $32,000.00 per
year. Insurance - Although they had no figure at this time, would be in-
cluded in the current policy of the City as an additional building. He
stated that if the City is to assume the liability he would strongly recom-
mend assuming the responsibility for maintenance and upkeep, and if the re-
furbishing amount (approximately $55,000.00) can be raised by the conmmn-
ity, the cost of maintenance, operation and insurance would be the City's
portion of the continuing costs. The $55,000.00 figure would be advanced
by the City, to be paid back over a period of years.
Councilman Pebley suggested the possibility of an individual or
company contributing the necessary $55,000.00, and further suggested in
that event the Center be named in honor of the contributor.
Mr. Murdoch advised that if the City accepts the first part of
the Cultural Arts Commission's request there would be no outlay of funds
at this time, with the possible exception of the parking lot area, as the
City's involvement would be maintenance and operation which would perhaps
start in the last month of this fiscal year. It would, however, be an item
to be considered for the coming year's budget;as to where the funds would
come from, he could not answer at this time.
In a~swer to Councilman Stephenson's question, Mr. Murdoch stated
it was possible that this obligation could result in cutting back or eli-
minating other activities or projects.
Brief discussion was held on the Capital Improvement portion of
the Budget, it being recognized that cuts to that budget had not yet been
finalized.
Mrs. Jones advised that the Commission was confident that there
was sufficient community interest to make the project a reality.
At the conclusion of the discussion, it was moved by Councilman
Thom, seconded by Councilman Pebley, that the City accept the Horace Mann

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 15, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
School Building from the Anaheim School District, and assume the liability,
parking and maintenance of the building and grounds, to the sum of approxi=
mately $40,000.00 per year. MOTION CARRIED.
No action was taken on the second portion of the request and Mrs.
Jones felt no action to this portion of the request would be necessary.
PROPOSED ORANGE COUNTY HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION: Mr. Murdoch reported that the
Orange County League of Cities would like definite action on the part of each
member city as to whether you recommend the formation of subject commission.
He further reported that the subpoena portion of the proposal was
opposed by everyone. Another major question raised was what would be the ef-
fects of this kind of a commission upon the cities. Would this be a County
Commission, with countwide impact and jurisdiction, or would it only apply to
County agencies and unincorporated areas?
He stated that the cities of Santa Aha and Garden Grove felt that
the responsibility of Human Relations within a city was a responsibility the
individual city should assume, and Mr. Murdoch advised that this was a type
of thinking recognized by this City Council when the-position of Comm~nity
Relations Representative was approved; not a Commission, but a person who would
have the responsibility of bringing any items in this area to the attention of
the Council, for whatever action necessary.
Councilman Thom stated he was not prepared to take any action at this
time as the question in what areas the Commission would operate has not been an-
swered, and it would be difficult to take an action when you are not aware of
what it would be affecting.
At the conclusion of the discussion, it was agreed that no action
would be taken by the City Council.
REQUEST - USE OF LA PALMA PARK - PERMISSION TO SOLICIT FUNDS - HUMAN HERITAGE FOUN-
DATION: Request of Maxwell Lack to use La Palma Park December 31, 1970 through
3anuary 3, 1971, and application to solicit funds was submitted together with
report from Parks and Recreation Director 3ohn Collier recommending use of La
Palma Park be denied, setting forth reasons therefor.
Mr. Murdoch reported that upon investigation it was learned that
there is no identifiable criminal record on the Applicant, and that the sum
to be raised is $120,000.00 by a proposed Rock Concert, Carnival and Fair, at
which an admission of $3.00 per person would be charged, estimating an atten-
dance of over 10,000 persons for each of the four concerts; the proceeds to
be used for local scholarships, grants to charitable groups involved in drug
addiction rehabilitation, and grants to tax-exempt institutions of scientific
research involved in pollution control research.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Dutton,
use of La Palma Park, as requested, was denied as recommended by the Parks and
Recreation Director. MOTION CARRIED.
It was determined no action was necessary on request to solicit funds,
since the use of La Palma Park was denied.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Stephenson moved to adjourn to Wednesday, December 16, 1970,
8:30 A.M., for the purpose of recessing to Executive Session at the request of
the City Manager. Councilman Clark seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (5:05
