Mayor Pro Tem, Shirley McCracken called the workshop portion of the meeting of February 9, 1999 to
order and welcomed those in attendance as well as the Chair and Members of the Community Services
Board (3:10 P.M.).
City Manager, James Ruth. He introduced Mr. Bruce Solari, Chair of the Community Services Board
who will start the presentation today.
COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD WORKSHOP - COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT –
105:
RECREATION/HUMAN SERVICES DIVISION:
Mr. Bruce Solari, Chair, Community Services Board.
He is hoping this method of meeting is proving to be effective for the Council. As their agenda indicates,
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
FEBRUARY 9, 1999
there are three issues the Board wants to discuss today to fulfill their mission of advising the Council
about the Human Services Needs in Anaheim: (1 ) Anaheim Collaboration in Response to Motel
Families – Vice Chair Hibbard, (2) CDBG Funding for Non-Profit Agencies – Board Member Lowry, (3)
Community Services Board’s “Community Hero” Award, Board Member Vanderbilt. Mary Hibbard will
address the first issue which is a real crisis.
Anaheim Collaboration in Response to Motel Families : Vice Chair, Mary Hibbard. She reported on the
meetings of the Collaborative that have been held thus far. (Also see Memorandum dated February 4,
1999 from the Director of Community Services, Chris Jarvi – Subject : Workshop with the Community
Services Board – which summarized the three topics to be discussed at today’s workshop – along with a
list entitled – Anaheim Collaboration in Response to the Needs of Motel Families – January 12, 1999 –
Adult Needs Identified – Children/Youth Needs Identified – Barriers – made a part of the record). She
had asked if it would be possible for City divisions to attend a meeting which occurred in the fourth
workshop. It was attended by representatives from Code Enforcement, the Police Department, Bertha
Chavoya of Housing, etc., who gave input to explain what they were doing relative to the motel issue.
They had no idea the City was already proactive and doing a number of things with the motels. As the
non-profits in the Collaborative, they will be on the line with the City when a family needs certain things –
basically as a non-profit, what can they do to contribute to those families to give them the basic
necessities of housekeeping. She can see a concern arising – what happens if the City decides to “junk”
20 of the 45 motels (see list of motels submitted with addresses and the school districts they are in
submitted with the agenda for the meeting.) She emphasized they would not be against the City doing
so and 90% (of the Collaborative/non-profits) would help the City destroy them knowing that there is
another program that is going to happen because they feel the City is so far sighted and cutting edge
there would be another way of housing these families. Theirs is not a political group, but a helping one –
their goal(s) being, how can they help the City bring up the code of the motels and how can they help the
families get out of the cycle of motels.
(Mayor Daly entered the Council Chamber – 3:22 p.m.)
Questions were then posed by Council Members regarding the motel families issue which were answered
by both Ms. Hibbard and Board Member, June Lowry. Mayor Daly also asked that they be informed if
there was anything the Council can do to help with the effort.
Before concluding the subject, a video was shown entitled, “Operation Hope ” which showed some of the
motels where families and many children live, the crowded/overcrowded conditions, deteriorated and
unsafe conditions, drug dealing, prostitution, Police calls, etc., as well as an example of a “success story”
-- a positive outcome when the motel-family cycle is broken.
CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) Funding for Non-Profit Agencies : Board Member, June
Lowry. (See Item 2., page 2 of the Memorandum from Chris Jarvi dated February 4, 1999 summarizing
the issue). Mrs. Lowry stated , starting over a year ago when they met with the Council, at that time the
Board said that funding from the City needs to be looked at and also how it is administered. She
explained how the system has worked with money for non-profits coming from two sources – from the
General Fund and from Block Grant funding. She explained the problems involved with that system (two
different staffs involved, monitoring of contracts, etc., i.e., a duplication of services). A suggestion was
brought to the Council that funding be taken from only one source and for one year they would try it from
Block Grant funding. One of the things the CSB did state was that they felt very strongly they did not
want to see monies for non-profits go down and remain at least at the same amount as the previous
year. The resultant recommendations are in front of the Council tonight (see Request for FY99-00
CDBG Funding Requests and Recommendations on back of sheet submitted entitled, Community Effort
– made a part of the record). When they ( CSB) went to the Community Development Advisory Board
( CDAB), they did not buy into it (the funding recommendation) and said they were in control and will
recommend the way they want to because they feel there are other priorities besides non-profits in
Anaheim. CDAB is made up of people who live in six neighborhoods with two votes each and one
member from the CSB, one each from the Planning Commission, the Private Industry Council, and
2
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
FEBRUARY 9, 1999
Planning, and two from Housing and Redevelopment. When the vote was taken this year on non-profits,
it went down almost exactly neighborhoods vs. CSB recommendations. Neighborhoods do not focus on
the City as a whole as does the CSB.
Mayor Daly interjected and asked what the CSB would like the Council to do; Mrs. Lowry answered they
would like some direction, specifically a policy statement from the Council on funding for non-profits
which would be for the following year 2000-2001 because they have already passed the process at this
point in time for this year.
Mayor Daly. The amount of money that the CSB has been analyzing and will be recommending is
$305,000; Mrs. Lowry explained the recommendation that will be coming to Council is not what the CSB
recommended.
Mayor Daly. As he understands, the CSB is recommending $305,000 and CDAB, $274,000 and Mrs.
Lowry ( CSB) wants to underscore she hopes that the Council will spend the $305,000; Mrs. Lowry stated
that was correct, or at least go along with the recommendation of staff and the CDAB in a meeting with
staff where they came up to approximately $303,000.
Mayor Daly. He feels they know there are basic characteristic differences between the two groups – one
is neighborhood focused and one is community-wide focused. Those are just the facts and they have to
try to do the right thing for the neighborhoods as well as the community at large. Looking at the list of
recommendations, it looks to him the real difference of opinion is relative to the Boys and Girls Club and
the Friends Outside. (It was later noted that there was a typographical error in the requested amount for
the Boys and Girls Club where it should have been $150,00 and not $15,000 as indicated.) Conversely,
he believes it is positive that there is so much agreement on the programs that deserve funding. Many
are programs they have seen in the past that they know are successful and are very cost effective; Mrs.
Lowry pointed out that many of those programs are working with the motel children.
Questions were then posed by Council Members relative to the recommendations which were answered
by City Manager Ruth, Christine Guin /Community Development and Board Members after which, Mayor
Daly stated he wanted the Board to focus on the specific recommendations this year because the matter
will be coming to the Council in two weeks for a decision. He would like to talk about future years and
ask the Board’s thinking regarding next Fiscal Year and Fiscal Years beyond that.
Board Member Lowry. She feels personally, working on both boards ( CDAB and CSB), that the CSB
really knows non-profits whereas the CDAB does not. She knows there is the question of Public
Hearings. According to HUD guidelines, they must have Public Hearings. Both boards hold the hearings
because the Council has asked that they do so. The Council could hold the Public Hearings or make the
decision that the Public Hearings would be held for non-profits but recommendations made in the CSB
rather than CDAB and then the recommendations would come directly from the CSB. That amount of
money would be automatically taken out of the CDAB budget in the first place. Another area is relative
to administration. Some of the people on CDAB do not understand in letting out a contract, it is
necessary to have staff administer it (the contract) and administration can be cut only so far in order to
operate efficiently.
Mayor Daly. He surmised, in terms of the bigger picture, the system is working well.
Before concluding this subject, Mrs. Lowry stated some things not listed on the sheet of
recommendations involved the Jeffrey Lynne Project, Ponderosa Park Project, Kids in Action, etc., The
Council will see those in the full recommendation when it comes to them from the CSB, CDAB and staff.
COMMUNITY SERVICES BOARD’S “COMMUNITY HERO” AWARD : James Vanderbilt, Board
Member. The Board is trying to put together a concept of one of their members. (See staff
memorandum dated February 4, 1999, page 3, Item 3 which summarizes the recommendation.) “The
3
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
FEBRUARY 9, 1999
CSB is presently desirous of developing an awards program to recognize the outstanding efforts and
contributions of volunteers in City programs and nonprofit organizations. The CSB would like the City
Council’s impression of this type of recognition.” Mr. Vanderbilt then briefed the concept. The Board felt
it would be prudent to recognize some of the individuals, recognizing their outstanding efforts and
contributions as volunteers in City programs and non-profit organizations, as well as having them
recognized at a higher level. They wanted to develop an awards program that would occur quarterly,
recognizing individuals first within their own board ( CSB) and then, on an annual basis, bring them to a
Council meeting for an annual recognition. The vehicle the Board would like to use to find the
individuals is a newsletter (see DRAFT newsletter – Community Effort which contained a Nomination
Form). They would hope the Council would look upon this recommendation favorably and give their
consent.
Mayor Daly thanked the Board for the suggestion and the briefing on how the awards program could
occur – quarterly and annually. He would like to make a suggestion for the Board to take under
submission to think about how the award will complement the other awards programs already established
in the City. For instance, the Police have an annual volunteer recognition program which is in its second
or third year. It is important to consider other such programs so that enough recognition occurs and the
timing does not conflict with those other programs. Personally, he feels it is a good idea. He reiterated,
the Board should think about how to position the award so that it is singular and the community is not
confused with other awards.
Concluding Comments : Council Member McCracken. She noted the vacancy on the Community
Services Board and the fact that there are some applications on file. She and Council Member Kring
have been going through the applications and contacting people but some are so old, people are no
longer available. She feels it would be helpful if the Board could reach out to the community since they
would know the people who are interested in serving.
Mayor Daly. It is important to make sure the City Clerk’s office assists in the process. It would be helpful
to have as much information as possible about prospective applicants; Board Member Terrell
emphasized that one thing that should be stressed is that attendance at meetings is all important.
Board Member Lowry. She reiterated what she would like is policy from the Council for funding for
2000-2001. They will be starting that process in August.
Mayor Daly. The Council will work with the City Manager as the budget cycle approaches. The City
Manager will be given direction to craft the budget for the coming year. They cannot reach a final
decision today but he feels it is safe to say, the funding will be at least as much as this year.
Chair, Bruce Solari. What they have to work on is a process so that they will have a process that works ;
Mayor Daly. The Council has heard the recommendations on possibly changing one part of the process,
the hearing process. Mr. Jarvi wrote up some reforms as well. As they get into adopting the budget,
they will see some of the Board’s other suggestions voted on and some of the programs will likely show
up in the General Fund.
Board Member, Flo Tarlton . She is glad the Council is finally taking care of the west part of the City.
Now they don’t have to secede to Buena Park; the Mayor and Council Members duly noted the remark,
the Mayor suggesting (in jest) they perhaps will merge with Buena Park in the future. He then thanked
the Community Services Board for the time they contribute, as volunteers, to this important work of the
City in addressing the social needs of the community.
REQUEST FOR CLOSED SESSION - ADDITION TO CLOSED SESSION AGENDA : City Attorney

ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA:
There were no add itions to agenda items.
PUBLIC COMMENTS – AGENDA ITEMS:
Public input was received on item B14 (see discussion under that item).
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Linda Lee Grau , 24 Morning Dove, Irvine, CA. Give Savis Roditis his 100 cabs. De-regulate the cab
business in the City.
Joe Kung, 5581 Santa Ana Canyon Road, Anaheim. He has a shopping center at the northwest corner
of Imperial and Santa Ana Canyon Road. The Canyon Plaza Shopping Center is located across the
street from him at the northeast corner. It has a one-way driveway entrance from Imperial Highway since
1984 which was granted by the City under a license agreement with a CPI increase every three years.
He applied for a permit for a similar type entrance from Imperial for the past two years for his center.
Unfortunately, he could not reach an agreement with staff on the purchase price of the entrance which
involves 200 square feet of land. There was a meeting last Thursday (with the City) where he was told
he had to agree with the staff recommendation of $70,000 to purchase the right on or before February
19, 1999. If he did not agree by that date, the construction work of the Imperial Highway widening will
start without a curb cut for his entrance. He would like to ask, (1) to be granted a chance to discuss the
matter with the Council Members in a Council meeting two weeks from tonight if the staff will arrange a
meeting like that. Staff told him without an agreement, no meeting. (2) He would like to postpone the
deadline until after that hearing so that an agreement can be worked out. (3) Because of the lengthy
discussion on the purchase price, he proposes a lease agreement under the same terms as the one
across the street. He would like to be treated equally and at equal cost.
Mayor Daly asked if he was familiar with the procedures where the Planning Commission items come to
the agenda after the Planning Commission hearing; Mr. Kung answered that the street access is not a
Planning Commission item, but is a different issue.
Mayor Daly. The Council will take his request under submission.
Debbie O’Neill, 5949 Avenida Arbol , Anaheim. Regarding the entrance to Mr. Kung’s property, right now
he has three entrances going into his property. The entrance he referred to off Imperial (into the Canyon
Plaza Shopping Center) was because there was only one entrance at the time when the Fox Fire
Restaurant burned to the ground and the Fire trucks could not get in. The entrance Mr. Kung is
requesting for his center (off Imperial) would cause traffic to back up and vehicles would cut across the
property to go to the Post Office. It would also cause additional traffic for the residents living behind Mr.
Kung’s property. Instead of going all the way to Santa Ana Canyon Road, vehicles would instead be
cutting through his shopping center as a short cut and it would cause more congestion.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
FEBRUARY 9, 1999
A7. 142: ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANHEIM repealing
Chapter 4.29 of, and adding new Chapter 4.29 to Title 4 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating
to massage establishments. (Discussed and continued from the meetings of January 5, 1999,
Item A13, and January 26, 1999, Item A10.)
Council Member McCracken . Her concern with this proposed ordinance is that they have a choice of
three ordinances for first reading. She recommends removing this item until the Council can have some
study sessions with the Police Chief, Visitor and Convention Bureau and perhaps the Masseuse
Association in order to have a better understanding on which ordinance best fits the City’s needs. It is a
complex issue and she does not feel adequately prepared to choose one of the three ordinances.
MOTION. Council Member McCracken moved to pull this item from the agenda and continue it until the
Council has had an opportunity to have City sessions on the issue. Mayor Daly seconded the motion.
Before action was taken, Mayor Daly asked if 30 to 45 days would be sufficient; Council Member
McCracken stated she does not know how long it would take. She wants to deal with the issue fairly and
correctly and have a better feeling and understanding of the ordinances with additional input from the
Police Chief, the hotel industry, as well as community organizations particularly the Redevelopment
areas.
Mayor Daly suggested 30 days and if they need more time, they will take it.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion continuing this matter for 30 days. MOTION CARRIED.
Before concluding, Mayor Daly stated it is his understanding that Council Member McCracken is not
suggesting workshops prior to a Council Meeting, but rather some opportunities to meet with the Police
Chief, V&CB , etc.
A8. 129: To consider Increasing the appropriation limit of the Fleet Services Division by $80,000 to
acquire urban search and rescue hardware and necessary transportation equipment to raise the
Fire Departments’ response capability to that of a Medium Level Technical Rescue organization
as per the State Office of Emergency Services criteria.
City Manager Ruth. Staff is respectfully requesting that this item be continued for 30 days. (At the
conclusion of the Consent Calendar, the item was continued as requested.)
A9. 106: Amending the Fiscal Year (FY) 1998-99 JTPA Budget increasing revenues and
expenditures in fund 220, in the amount of $586,812 and increasing revenues and expenditures
in Fund 224, in the amount of $190,090.
A10. 123: Approving an Amendment to Agreement with APS Affiliates to supply one additional tax
copier at Central Library for tax season at no additional cost.
A11. 175: Approving a Memorandum of Understanding ( MOU ) between Idaho Power Company and
the City of Anaheim, detailing the terms of a proposed Business Alliance relating to power
generation and transmission utilization and the provision of other energy related services; and
authorizing the Public Utilities General Manager to execute the MOU , and any related
documents necessary to implement the MOU .
Submitted was report dated February 9, 1999 from the Public Utilities General Manager recommending
approval of the subject.
Council Member Tait requested a briefing from staff to let the public know why this proposal is being
brought forward.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
FEBRUARY 9, 1999
Mr. Ed Aghjayan, Public Utilities General Manager first stated that since November, 1997, staff has been
looking at a variety of strategic alliances in light of the deregulation of the Utilities in California. He then
briefed the subject report. (Also see minutes of the Council Meeting of February 2, 1999 where a
workshop was held on this issue .)The proposed business alliance is a significant result from the Strategic
Options study approved by the City Council. Twenty-one proposals in several product areas were
received and finally narrowed down to five serious proposals from four different private companies and
one public entity. This proposal involves power resources which is about 80% of the Utilities total cost of
operation or $170 Million annually. The proposal they are recommending after their extensive review is
Idaho Power Company. (A summary of the business deal points with Idaho Power was attached to the
report of February 9, 1999, Exhibit A.) The term of the agreement is five years with provisions for off-
ramps beginning at the end of the second year. As stated in the Summary portion of the report, “The
Business Alliance would bring a guaranteed annual savings of $1 Million to the Department; as the
Business Alliance matures, the Department estimates that an additional $1 Million to $2 Million in annual
savings would be realized. Additional revenues from the provision of other energy services could
enhance the value of the Business Alliance.” If the Council approves this proposed Memorandum of
Understanding for a Business Alliance, they expect to come back with definitive agreements in April,
1999 and start the Alliance in the Summer-time peak season.
Council Member Tait . He commended staff for all their efforts in this regard. This was the City’s
response to deregulation of the power industry which will bring between one million and maybe three to
four million dollars in savings a year which equates to lower rates to customers of the City’s Public
Utilities which are already about 25% lower. He is very proud of staff having responded to competition in
this manner and looks forward to further strategies.
Mayor Daly. He agrees. It is great work by the Public Utilities General Manager and his staff to bring a
cost-saving measure forward and to continue to deal with the issue of deregulation.
END OF CONSENT CALENDAR. MOTIONS CARRIED.

A review of the Planning Commission’s decision was requested by Mayor Daly concurred in by Council
Member McCracken and, therefore, a Public Hearing will be set at a later date.
Mr. Barry Hamman, 1 Corporate Park, Ste. 101, Irvine asked to speak and stated he was present on
behalf of the applicant who is concerned about the time delay that might occur on this item. He does not
know if it is appropriate at this time but would like to know the reasoning behind the request for a Public
Hearing. The item went to the Planning Commission with the support of Planning staff. It was approved
by the Planning Commission and had some 49 conditions imposed and all were accepted. The applicant
is not debating anything, they are not aware of any issues and they feel this corner should be set aside
as soon as possible for development. Perhaps if there are any questions, those could be addressed
tonight. For a small businessman, every day is important.
Mayor Daly. In order for the Council to fully discuss all the details of the project, it is necessary to have a
Public Hearing. There is no way of going into the details this evening. The Council either sets it for a
hearing or they do not. He would like to have a hearing.
Barry Hamman . He asked if there was a way to find out what concerns there are. The issue of a
moratorium on new service stations was withdrawn (see minutes of January 26, 1999). He is wondering
if it is anything small that might be reconciled at this time.
Mayor Daly. He will be happy to share his concerns with Mr. Hamman prior to the hearing .

Joel Fick , Planning Director. This property has been in front of the Council on a couple of occasions.
There was a lot of focus on the billboard and car wash. The billboard was removed and is no longer on
the site. The project now incorporates the prior approval by the Council. It is an enhancement to what

179: ORDINANCE NO. 5667 (ADOPTION ) Adding new Subsection .215 to Section
18.21.050 of Chapter 18.21 of Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to zoning.
(Outdoor storage of recreational vehicles) (Introduced at the meeting of January 26, 1999, Item
B5, and discussed and continued from the meeting of February 2, 1999, Item B1 – Code
Amendment 99-01).
See Minutes of January 26, 1999, Item B5 ., when this item was originally discussed. (Also see
item B2. that date – GPA 360, Reclassification 98-99-08, CUP 4084. The GPA and
Reclassification were denied by the Planning Commission; the CUP was approved but
contingent upon the approval of the code amendment being considered this evening.)
Linda Denmark, 5813 Avenida Portola , Anaheim. The big question she keeps asking herself regarding
the issue is why outdoor storage should be treated any different than indoor. The prior City Council
acknowledged this problem and designed specific zoning regulations regarding indoor public storage.
She asked why not do the same with outdoor storage as well. She understands this may be needed for
this particular area and the residents are requesting it; however, changing the zoning code of this
magnitude is not in the best interest of the City and citizens of Anaheim.
Wade Perry, 5949 Avenida Arbol, Anaheim. He has never favored “spot zoning” but in this case it is
necessary. The residents surrounding the site are for the changes. Such changes should be considered
on a site-by-site basis and should take into consideration residents surrounding those sites. It is
unnecessary to change the entire code for one site.
Pete Tsachpinis , 156 Calle Diaz, Anaheim. Upon further review, he still feels the proposal is an
unnecessary code amendment change. It will make it easier for a person to open an outdoor storage
facility. They are basically ugly lots and tend to bring down property values. A code amendment will
have an impact on future generations. He asked that they deny the code amendment change and keep
Anaheim beautiful.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
FEBRUARY 9, 1999
Council Member Kring referred to Memorandum dated February 4, 1999 from the Planning Director
(Subject : Code Amendment No. 99-08 Scheduled for Council Consideration) She asked staff to brief the
information contained therein.
Joel Fick , Planning Director. He noted that they did provide updated supplemental information regarding
the issue (see report of February 4, 1999 – made a part of the record) which noted that there were likely
less than 10 sites, based on the site characteristics and development requirements specified in the
ordinance, that would be candidates for a potential conditional use permit application which would be
required in any case. The only parcels they feel fit within all the constraints are the easement areas and,
as indicated, there are less than 10 theoretical sites that could actually apply for a CUP. Doing so would
necessitate a Public Hearing and those within 300 feet would be notified.
Mayor Daly. He believes there are other opportunities under other zoning ; Joel Fick. That is correct.
There are commercial and industrial zones where an application could be filed for a CUP.
Council Member Kring . She thought they were just talking about RS-A-43 ,000 zoned locations; Joel
Fick. The ordinance before the Council tonight only affects RS-A-43 ,000.
Council Member McCracken . She did some research on her own and found on the 10 possible sites, she
believes there are only eight since three are adjacent to public parks and the Council would not approve
those. The other five are in the same strip as the one under consideration. All are underneath utility
lines and adjacent to a railroad track. There are a couple of homeowners who live on the other side of
the property who are saying this is a better use for that kind of property than nurseries because they are
having to deal with rodents and the like. At the same time in another part of the City, the Council
received a letter asking them to prevent RV parking on the street and that the streets are cluttered
because there are insufficient spaces in driveways, etc. To fit this condition, there are only five pieces of
property not adjacent to City parks or schools and they would still have to apply for a Conditional Use
Permit.
Mayor Daly. Last week, he asked some questions about the rationale for the ordinance and he concedes
that this particular amendment only creates five or ten opportunities to store recreational vehicles and
other vehicles in agriculturally zoned properties typically in easement areas. He wanted to be clear
about what Anaheim should be doing because he feels they should be proactively planning for uses
along the easement areas planning for what would most benefit the community. In this case, RV storage
might be a very cost-effective use. They also need to have enough context to know if such use is in the
community’s interest. In this particular case, in this location on Euclid, he believes it is a good use and
an improvement from what is on the site now. However, he feels it is a shame they have not looked
more carefully at these easement areas for public uses such as bike trails or the like. He hopes they will
continue to look at these properties for such uses because he feels they send the wrong message if they
put all of these rights of way and easements into play for development purposes and they should be
careful before doing so. He also feels they have to aim a bit higher in the flatlands since there are uses
recommended in the flatlands that are not acceptable in the hills because of the scenic corridor overlay
zone.
Mayor Daly offered Ordinance No. 5667 for adoption. Refer to Ordinance book.

COUNCIL COMMENTS:
C2. 114:
Council Member Kring :
She has received calls from people in west Anaheim relative to the timing of
the traffic signal at Gilbert and Ball. Since there are many senior complexes in the area, the complaint
is, crossing Gilbert , the light is so short it makes it difficult to cross the street because it turns red half
way across. She would appreciate it if staff could check the timing.
Mayor Daly :
Last week (see minutes of February 2, 1999), he asked the City Manager to bring the
th
Council a recommendation on the absence of a sidewalk on 9 Street, south of Stoddard School. He
has been provided a memo with a recommendation (see memorandum dated February 9, 1999 from the
Department of Public Works). He asked the City Manager if he needed direction from the Council this
evening or what the necessary steps are to accomplish the improvement.
City Manager Ruth. Staff wants to meet with the property owner to see if they can get dedication.
Awarding of a bid would have to be done within the next few months. If the Council concurs, staff can
move forward and meet with the property owner to see if they can get voluntary dedication. He does not
believe they need a formal action by the Council. If they need a budget adjustment, they will come back
to the Council for approval.
