PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT iNO. 69-7A' Public hearing was held on proposed
abandonment of a portion of a roaodway located adjacent to the Santa Ana
Freeway, northeast of the intersection of Ball Road and West Street, re-
quested by Mr Frank HutChison, of Royal Coach Inn, Ltd. Notice of said
public hearing was duly published in the Anaheim Bulletin, and posted in
accordance with law.
Report of the City Engineer was submitted, recommending denial
of said request~at this time.
The City Manager requested information regarding the use which
the Applicant proposes for the subject property, as there may be some al-
ternate way to accommodate the need during the interim period while a de
termination is made for the alignment of the proposed extension of West Street,
and possible interchange with the Santa Ana Freeway He suggested tha~
..
rather than deny the requested abandonment ,the City Council may wish to
continue the matter until more information is available.
Council. Mayor Clark asked if the Applicant wished to address the City
Mr.~ Duane Stout, of McDonnell and Associates, spoke on behalf
of the Applicant. He stated that the only reason for the request was to
provide additional parking to the north of the hotel, which is under con-
struction. Another 8-acre parcel is owned by the Applicant, to the north
of the hotel site, but si~nce the hotel will be~expanded in that direction
at a later date the Applicant is seeking as much additional parking space
as possible.
The City Manager stated there is no question that a portion of
the property could be abandoned, but it is not known at present how much
could be returned to the property owner. It was agreed that a continuance
would be in the best interest of all concerned~
On motion by Councilman Krein, seconded by Councilman Dutton,
public hearing on proposed Abandonment No. 69-7A was continued to the

variety of retail commercial uses serving the general public, with waivers ns
follows'
a. Permitted uses in the M-1 zone
Structural setback from an arterial highway

and "c" above, granting waiver of structural setback from an arterial highway,
subject to conditions~
VARIANCE NO. 2050. Submitted by M.K. Borenstein and Albert Gudes, requesting

further action taken.
DINNER DANCING PLACE PERMIT: Application filed by Mr. Robert C. Davis, for permit
to allow dancing at Cero's, 316 South Euclid Avenue, was submitted and granted
subject to the provisions of Chapter 4~16 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, as
recommended by the Chief of Police, on motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded
by Councilman Pebley. MOTION CARRIED.
RECLASSIFICATION NO. 66-67-62 - CLARIFICATION OF CONDITIONS: Report of the City
Engineer, Mr. James P, Maddox, was submitted requesting clarification of
Condition. 9, to Resolution of Intent No. 67R-426, establishing the method
for proportioning cost of required storm drain in connection with Reclassi-
fication No. 66-67-62.
The City Engineer advised that the City usually participates with
developers on a 50-50 basis; however, in this case, the City's share will
amount to approximately two-thirds of the total cost. He outlined the reasons
for proportioning the cost on this basis~ noting that the developer of Tract
No. 3823 previously paid $3,109 65 to the City for his share in the project,
which the City has held until the easement could be acquired.
Following Council discussion it was determined that Condition No.
9 of Resolution of Intent No. 67R-426 correctly states the City Council's
intentions for participation of the City in the cost of the storm drain
from Beach Boulevard to Hayward Street.
ORANGE COUNTY MASTER PLAN OF REGIONAL PARKS - PROPOSED AMENDMENT: Excerpt from
the Minutes of the City Planning Commission meeting held September 8, 1969,
was submitted pertaining to proposed Amendment No. 2, Plan 3-B~ to the Master
Plan of Regional Parks The Commission, by Motion, recommended that the
Orange County Planning Commission be urged to approve the proposed Amendment,
on the basis that the proposed park would be an excellent utilization of pro-
perty within the Santa Ana River Flood Plain~ and would provide much needed
open space and park lands for the residents of northern Orange County.

ance due of $11,787.21, representing the amount in excess of the $60,000~

PROPOSED PURCHASE OF PROPERTY - FIRE ~TATION SITE' The City Manager reported on
the proposed purchase of property on the west side of Euclid Street, north
of the Orange County Flood Control Channel, as follows: The City has con-
ducted preliminary negotiations for the purchase of a portion of a parcel
277 £eet deep~ with frontage on the west side of Euclid Street, north o£ the
Orange County Flood Control Channel=, The exact frontage required is not yet
known,but will be in the neighborhood of 80 to 100 feet.~ The owner o£ the
property is willing to sell at $5.50 per square foot.
Council discussed the possibility of alternate sites for the proposed
fire station and the City Manager noted that locations o£ other stations in the
area indicate that the proposed site will produce the least amount of overlap
of service areas and still provide optimum service to the principal mercantile
and commercial buildings in that area.
Assistant City Manager, Robert M. Davis, displayed a map indicating
the service areas of the various fire stations.
At the conclusion of Council discussion action on the proposed pur-
chase of property was continued, by general consent, to the meeting of September
23, 1969, for further investigation by the City Council.,

THE TOWN TOUR COMPANY -- REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL ROUTES' Action on two of the
proposals submitted by the Town Tour Company for extension and revision
of existing routes was continued from the meeting of September 2, 1969
for further study and report from the City Manager's office.
Mr. Murdoch reported that a time check was made of Jitney Ser-
vice at the Greyhound Bus Depot on Saturday and Sunday, Results of this
survey showed that the Saturday service was reasonably frequent, ranging
from 10 minutes to slightly less than an hour maximum, with intervals
usually less than one-half hour. There was apparently no service avail-
able on. Sunday, as no buses were observed on Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Murdoch advised that Mr Bristow, owner-operator of the
Greyhound Bus Depot, had been interviewed and still held the same opin-
ions he offered at the meeting of September 2nd.
Investigation of services offered to conventioneers indicates
there is a wide difference in the promotion efforts of Anaheim Jitney
Systems and the Town Tour Company.. Although some service is provided to
conventioneers by the Anaheim Jitney, the Fun Bus Transportation Guides
mailed out by the Town Tour Company provide excellent promotion for the
services offered, as well as promoting attractions in the Anaheim area.
Contact with Southern California Rapid Transit District indi-
cated that they positively have no plans to expand service in the City of
Anaheim.
69-579
City Hall~__Anaheim~_California - COUNCiL MINUTES - September 16~ 1969~ 1:30 P.M.
Sisns furnished by the City and posted by Anaheim Jitney Systems
state that Jitney service is available every hour; however, no schedule is
posted. Analysis of service provided by the Jitney Systems to Knott's Berry
Farm was not included in the study as this determination could be made only
by interviewing potential customers.
It was the opinion of Councilman Clark that the Knott's Berry Farm
route should not be diluted by allowing another transportation service in that
area, as the profits from that route make it possible for the Jitney Service
to operate the downtown route, even though it suffers a loss, He had no ob-
jection to allowing the Town Tour Company to serve the Convention Center or
the Greyhound Bus Depot, if the owner, Mr~ Bristow, so desires.
Mr. Tom Jaeger, of Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc.,~ stated that insert
cards on the Jitney stop signs state the times service is available; however~
these cards are frequently removed and must be replaced by the drivers. He
stated that the posting of signs has been of great value in his operation and
the company is discussing ways in which the time schedule could be permanently
affixed to each sign.
The City Manager submitted an insert card from a sign in the down-
town area, on which no time was indicated and it was suggested by the Council
that the time schedules be posted in such a manner that they would remain
legible.
Mr. Michael Valen, of the Town Tour Company, addressed the City
Council requesting clarification of the following information:
When a temporary permit was granted to th~ Town Tour Company in
October, 1968, it was his understanding that it was granted in accordance
with the provisions of Ordinance No~ 2267~ At the meeting of September 2,
1969, statements were made which he alleged were untrue and he was not given
time to refute them. He stated that he obtained a transcript of that meet--
ing, prepared by a certified court reporter, which would verify the statements
to which he refers.
Mr. Valen called attention to provisions of Ordinance No~ 2267,
which state "Should an owner decide to increase ~his schedule of rates, or
any part thereof, or modify or change his approved routes~,.he must first
notify the City Council in writing of his desire to do so.~" (Section 4.80.
110, Anaheim Municipal Code.) "It shall be unlawful for any owner to charge
any rate in excess of the schedule of rates approved by the City Council,
or to modify or change the routes approved by the City Council .... "(Section
4.80.120~ Anaheim Municipal Code.)
Mr. Valen quoted the following statement made by Mr. Jaeger at the
September 2nd meeting: "I talked to Mr. Bristow and told him we had a Town
Tour account route that was operating across the City, and we could furnish
him service six days a week by coming on the Town Route, and that it goes
down Haster and Katella." Mr. Valen noted that the Greyhound Terminal is
located at 1711 South Manchester Avenue, and that street is not on any Jitney
route approved by the City Council Mr. Valen noted that when the Anaheim
Jitney Systems first applied for a permit four routes were submitted~ Since
then, two routes have been abandoned and the other two were substantially
changed, He could not, however, find any owner's notification on record at
the City Hall.
He stated that such arbitrary changes have also taken place with
regard to fares charged; that the original application submitted and approved
by the City Council in January, 1966, established a fare of 25 cents. An
article appearing in the Santa Ana Register, December 1, 1967, reported that
fares were doubled to 50 cents. Attention was called to a letter to Mr~
Jaeger, dated December 14, 1967, from Assistant City Manager, Robert M. Davis,
informing him that the City had no record of having owner notification or
approval for any route or fare changes, and notifying him that the Anaheim
Jitney Systems had to comply with Code provisions. Mr.~ Valen felt that it
was obvious that Anaheim Jitney Systems has been operating in an arbitrary
manner contrary to laws of the City of Anaheim~ changing routes and fares.
69-580
~ity Hall~ ~naheim~ Califorqia - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 16~ 1969~ 1:30 P.M.
At the last City Council meeting Mr, Jaeger stated that he was charging
Marines 30 cents, and asked if th~s has been approved by the City Council~
·
Mr~ Valen stated that for several years the Anaheim Jitney Sys-
tems has been oPerating what Mrs Jaeger called "a lucrative route to
· " ye!t this operation is in complete disregard ~of regu-
Knott's Berry Farm,
lations of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California~
Under the Public Utilities Commission regulations, bus service may cross
city lines without Public Utilities Commission authority if the route in
the second city does not exceed two percent of the total mileage of all
routes. The Anaheim Jitney Systems route in Buena Park covers 3-1/2 miles~
This means that the Jitney Systems shou~ have 175 miles of routs in Ana-
heim, in order to go into Knott's Berry Farm legally.
Mr~ Valen again quoted from Ordinance No. 2267: "It shall be
unlawful for any driver to operate any motor vehicle as part of a jitney
service within the City of Anaheim, unless their exists a valid permit
to do so, as herein provided." (Section 4,80,130, Anaheim Municipal'
Code.) Mr. Valen stated he could find no record with the Anaheim Police
Department or License Division of any driver employed by the Anaheim Jit-
ney Systems applying for this City Permit. He noted that seven sections
in the Code pertain to Drivers, and since they do not have permits they
are in violation of all sections~
Mr~ Jaeger was quoted from the meeting of September 2nd as stat-
ing he had worked with Mr. Watts, of the City Attorney's office, for six
months on the Ordinance, and was assured that the City Council would pro-
tect him from other people coming in~ It was Mr~ Valen's contention
that this was in complete error, and quoted from the Minutes of the City
Council meeting held June 13, 1967, when the Anaheim Jitney Systems was
granted extension of the interim permit which stated that the permit was
not an exclusive one. Attention was called to Mr. Jaeger's application
before the Public Utilities Commission which indicated $6,400.00 worth
of charter business, and Mr. Valen asked under whose authority do they
operate charter service; as this authority is under the jurisdiction of
the Public Utilities Cormnissfon? ~
In response to statements made by Mr. Jaeger at the September
2nd meeting regarding the "Fun Bus," Mr. Valen offered the following in-
formation- The Fun Bus Tour is given by licensed drivers who tell about
the history of Anaheim, provide information about the local restaurants,
including menus and prices, and call attention to all entertainment fa-
cilities in the area.
In the 10 months that the Fun Bus Tour has been provided, 18,000
people have ridden it, of which at least one-third were children~ The
printed borchure include~ advertising from 19 of the Disneyland area mer-
chants, and a second printing of 100,000 copies is being prepared. He
noted these brochures are mailed out by the promotion department of the
major hotels and motels in the area, and he felt it was a valuable sales
tool which attracts many people to the area. The Tour will be part of a
program offered by Delta Airlines throughout the winter months and will
be promoted by travel agents as well. He noted that Fun Bus Passes are pro-
vided by hotels and motels in the area~ and read several statements prais-
ing their operation that he has received in the mail~ Mr~ Valen also
stated he believed his operation has become an asset to the City of Ana-
heim in less than one year. He noted that the shuttle service alone has
provided transportation for over one-quarter million people from May 15th
to September 15tb~ and his firm has contracted with hotels and motels to
continue to provide this service all year around.
Contrary to statements made by Mr. Jaeger, his company is not
applying for a charter service as they already have a Class A Permit
which allows t'hem to provide charter service anywhere in the State of
California; that they have b~>en working with the Anaheim Area Visitor and
Convention Bureau to provide ~ervice for large conventions. Mr. Valen
read a list of the organizations and conventions served by the Town Tour
Company during the last month.

C_ity Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 16~ 1969~ 1:30 P.M.
In answer to statements made by Mr. Jaeger at the September 2nd
meeting about the type and extent of Town Tour Company equipment, Mr. Valen
reported that his company owns one 18-passenger De Luxe Mini-Bus, one 25-
passenser Mini-Bus~ one 31-passen§er G.M. Coach, one 41-passenger G.M. Coach,
and one 55-passenger G.M. Coach. Four more 55-passenser Coaches were just
acquired by ions-term lease agreement, for the purpose of transporting con-
vention groups~ The company also has a long-term asreement with Community
Bus Enterprises for additional equipment, as needed.
Mr0 Valen called attention to the transportation guide sant out in
large quantities to prospective visitors~ which he felt promoted the City of
Anaheim as the place to hold meetings and conventions. He described his com-
pany as a dynamic organization~ one that adheres to the letter of the law in
all operations, and stated that it was time for the City to take positive ac-
tion in the matter of bus companies; that it is to the benefit of the City to
have a reputation for efficient transportation service, and short-term permits
do not encourage companies to invest in equipment or initiate new programso
He asked that the City Council approve the request made at the meeting of
September 2, 1969, and grant the Town Tour Company a permanent permit in the
City of Anaheim.
The City Attorney advised that if the Greyhound Bus Depot wishes to
have someone meet their schedule and provide transportation to hotels and motels
or make a connection with the R.ToD. this was primarily a charter operation~ and
has not been granted in the past to anyone, by the City Council. He felt that
it would be difficult to substantiate a claim that by granting such approval
at this time it would take business away from someone else for whom approval
was never granted in the first instance° He noted that the person requesting
the service has indicated which company he wishes to provide it, and it was
the City Attorney's opinion that this type of service should be applied for
and approved by the City Council
Councilman Dutton observed that it appears, from the evidence of-
fered by Mr. Valen, that the ordinance has been enforced in an unequal fashion.
He pointed out that the permit granted Mr. Jaeger was not a lifetime permit,
and felt that the City Council has afforded him protection against competing
transportation services for as long a period as practical. He felt Mr. Jaeger
was not meeting the need which exists, and since there is an organization which
does meet this need they should be afforded every consideration. He felt the
request of the Town Tour Company was a legitimate and reasonable one, and he
favored granting a permit to serve the Greyhound Bus Depot and also permission
to change their Beach Boulevard Route to avoid conflict with regulations of
the Public Utilities Commission.
Mr. Valen noted that the concepts of service offered by the Town
Tour Company were original.
Discussion was held regarding the enforcement of Code provisions
established under Ordinance No. 2267, and the City Attorney advised that en-
forcement of the Ordinance is a Police function, and when his office is in-
formed of a violation a complaint would be filed.
Mr. Tom Jaeger, of Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc~, stated that his
drivers went to the Police Department for the required licensing and photo-
graphs, but they had no facilities for that purpose~. After that, the matter
was forgotten until notice was received a few days ago, and his company is
now complying.
RECESS- Councilman Krein moved for a 15-minute Recess. Councilman Dutton seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (3'05 P.M~).
AFTER RECESS: Upon return of all Councilmen to the Council Chamber, Mayor Clark
again called the meeting to order~ (3:20 P..M.)~

Anaheim_a- California- COUNCIL MINUTES - Se.p_tember 1~ 1:30 P~ M~
Mr. Harry Knisely, Attorney representing Anaheim Jitney Systems,
Inc., addressed the City Council. He noted a statement made by Mr, Bristow,
of the Greyhound Bus Depot, in his letter on file in the office of the City
Clerk, that he delivers 30 to 40 passengers per day to the Anaheim Depot,
which would be 900 to 1,200 passengers per month. He quoted figures from
billings of the Anaheim Jitney Service to the Greyhound Depot, which indi-
cates that for the period August 1st through 26th the Jitney carried 1,273
of his passengers; the August 1st billing indicates 670 passengers, and
the July 1st billing indicates 815 passengers. He felt these figures in-
dicate that the Jitney is giving good service to the Depot.
Regarding sta!tements made about the Convention Services offered
by the Jitney, he offered a file of correspondence which documented those
who have received service.
Mr Knisely indicated he has no objection to the operation of
the hotel/motel route by the Town Tour Company, but asked that the City
Council not allow them to provide service to Knott's Berry Farm, as he
believed they have no right to do so. He recalled that such an applica-
tion had been filed with the Public Utilities Commission and he thought
it had been denied.
in answer to Council questions, Mr. Jaeger indicated that service
men do comprise the bulk of Greyhound Depot business, but the statement
made by Mr Bristow that 1,500 service men arrive on weekends is inaccur-
ate He felt ~e estimate of 30 to 40 per day would be more realistic.
He reported that the Jitney's gross revenue from the passengers arriving
at the Greyhound Bus Depot was approximately $9.00 per day, which does
not constitute a big operation but helps to support the route~ He stated
that the Jitney has been serving the Convention Center ever since it was
built, and enumerated some of the recent events for which service was pro-
vided. He stated that a record of all routes has been on file in the of-
fice of the City Clerk since July, together with schedules and time tables
in connection with their application before the Public'Utilities Commission.
At the conclusion of Council discussion, it was moved by Council-
man Dutton, seconded by Councilman Pebley, that the request of the Town
Tour Company be granted for an extension of their hotel/motel shuttle
route to serve the Greyhound Bus Terminal on Haster Street and Manchester
Avenue, and permission be granted to revise their Beach Boulevard Route
.to avoid transversing County territory, in accordance with the terms out-
lined in their letters dated August 27 and 28, 1969, on file in the office
of the City Clerk~ MOTION CARRIED.
CITY OF PLACENTIA - PROPOSED ANNEXATION NO. 69-1 (ATWOOD AREA): Administra-
tive Analyst, John Harding, reported on City of Placentia proposed Annexa:-
tion No. 69-1, generally located in the area south of Orangethorpe Avenue,
bounded on three sides by the City Limits of the City of Anaheim, in the
general area of the future extension of Miraloma Avenue to Lakeview. Since
the territory is surrounded on three sides by the City of Anaheim, and
Orangethorpe Avenue is considered to be a natural boundary between the
two cities it was recommended by the Staff that the proposed annexation
by the City of Placentia be protested
Mr~ Harding noted that City of Anaheim sewer and water lines
in the area ~re designed to serve this property, and preliminary inves-
tigation indicates that the only way the City of Placentia could sewer
the area would be by going underneath the flood control channel~
Mr. Harding reported that letters and telephone calls to the
people who own a majority of the land in the area indicate they do not
wish to be annexed to any city right now, however, if they must be an-
nexed, they prefer the City of Anaheim. He noted there are over 600
voters in the area~

REQUEST TO USE REPRESENTATIONS OF ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER AND STADIUM: Council-
man Krein reported that a group of people who are in the process of forming
a new Anaheim bank have inquired about the use of representations of the
Anaheim Convention Center and Stadium on their checks, similar to the scenic
checks used by the other banks.
Council discussion was held regarding the copyrights which exist
on the "Big A" Scoreboard at Anaheim Stadium, and the Reader Board at the
Convention Center, and the City Clerk noted provisions of Council Policy No~
011 which state that permission to use such representations must be obtained
from the City; that such use which will have the primary effect of advertis-
ing the City of Anaheim is to be encouraged; and fees to be used for such
use should be determined and negotiated for each separate representation or
use, by the Director of the Convention Center and Stadium, with approval by
the City Manager~

to the City Staff, in accordance with Council Policy No. 011.
PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS: Councilman Krein requested the City Attorney to pre-
pare a draft of a proposed amendment to the City Charter which would increase
the compensation to the Mayor and City Councilmen, to be considered for sub-
mission to the voters at the April, 1970 election~ Councilman Krein noted
that discussion was held previously to place a proposed Charter Amendment on
the ballot to make the office of Mayor elective, and suggested combining the
two proposals.
The City Attorney advised that it would be possible to submit the
two proposals on the same ballot, however, since the two proposed amendments
deal with separate sections of the Charter, they would be presented as separ-
ate issues.
Councilman Dutton indicated he would like to see a measure included
on the ballot for a new City Hall.
ADJOURNMENT' Councilman Pebley moved to adjourn. Councilman Schutte seconded the
motion~ MOTION CARRIED.
