7. Authorize the Purchasing Agent to accept the low bid of Vision Communications, in the
D180 amount of $132,188.27, including tax, for the purchase of twenty-one Motorola laptop
computers and accessories for the Fire Department, all in accordance with Bid # 6810.
Fire Chief Roger Smith briefed Council on the request to purchase 21 new mobile data computers
for his department. He indicated the computers would replace existing models with updated and
increased capabilities. City Manager Dave Morgan added the purchase would also standardize
the units throughout the County of Orange fire system. Council Member Hernandez pointed out he
pulled the item to emphasize the upgrades which would allow the Fire Department to provide
improved general service but also allow the City to handle any emergencies and disasters more
effectively by standardizing communications within other County fire agencies. With that said,
Council Member Hernandez moved to approve Item No.7, seconded by Council Member Sidhu.
Roll call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council Members: Chavez, Galloway, Hernandez and
Sidhu. Noes - O. Motion carried.
8. Accept the bid and authorize the acquisition and installation of two hundred and twenty-
D180 four mobile data computers from CDCE, Incorporated, in an amount not to exceed
$1,625,587.35, including taxes, for the Police Department, all in accordance with Bid
#6730.
Police Chief Welter indicated the 224 mobile data computers requested would upgrade the
Department's Records Management System (RMS) and Computer Aided Dispatching (CAD)
systems and allow radio calls and data input inside police vehicles as well as being able to take the
computers out of the vehicles for both input and retrieval of information in the field. Council
Member Hernandez affirmed that while the City's current RMS system did not reflect true police
unit response times, the upgraded equipment would do so. Mr. Morgan added that with the
purchase of the computers, this would be the final step in upgrading the Police Department's CAD.
Council Member Sidhu inquired if the 80 interchangeable laptop computers, also being purchased,
were compatible with the Fire Department units. Chief Welter indicated that radio communications
could interface between departments; however, interfacing with the Police CAD system was not yet
in place, although discussion was occurring between Police and Fire Chiefs in the County on this
issue. Chief Smith emphasized that radio communications between police and fire was occurring
and that the Emergency Vehicle Operation (EVO) allowed CAD dispatch from Police and Fire to be
viewed simultaneously.
Council Member Galloway moved to approve Item No.8, seconded by Council Member Chavez.
Roll call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council Members: Chavez, Galloway, Hernandez and
Sidhu. Noes - O. Motion carried.
13. Amend the FY 2005/06 budget by increasing appropriations in the Planning Department by
D106 $461,000, in the Convention, Sports, and Entertainment Department by $272,000, and in
the Fire Department by $585,000.
Council Member Hernandez asked for a brief report on this item to emphasize to the public the
reasons for amendments to the City's 05/06 budget. Mr. Morgan stated that at the end of the
05/06 fiscal year, the Planning, Convention Sports and Entertainment and Fire departmental
budgets required adjustments. For Planning, he reported, due to higher than anticipated
development occurring in the City, contract services had increased, adding this cost was
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
September 26, 2006 - Page 7
completely covered through revenues received and the amendment would correct the contract
services appropriations. The Convention, Sports and Entertainment department, he explained,
received a portion of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and since the TOT received had
been higher than originally anticipated, the Department would receive additional funds
necessitating an amendment. And, lastly, he pointed out, the Fire Department budget was being
increased to reflect unexpected labor costs associated with emergencies or mutual aid, such as
the Hurricane Katrina effort and wildfires. He added those labor costs were anticipated to be
reimbursed through FEMA at close to 100 percent of cost. In answer to Council Member Sidhu's
question, none of the costs would be covered through reserve funds and in the case of Planning
and the Fire Department, costs would be reimbursed.
Council Member Hernandez moved to approve Item No. 13, seconded by Council Member
Galloway. Roll call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council Members: Chavez, Galloway,
Hernandez and Sidhu. Noes - O. Motion carried.
14. Approve and authorize the Executive Director to sign the Purchase and Sale Agreement for
4207 412 and 418 North West Street, and any other documents necessary for acquisition of both
4208 properties, amend the City's 2005-2010 HUD Consolidated Plan to allow the use of CDBG
funds for purchase of 412 North West Street, and authorize payment of $750,000 in
General Fund reserves to acquire, pay escrow and title fees, perform exterior repairs and
paint the 1894 Victorian house at 418 North West Street.
Terry Lowe, Community Services Director, briefed Council on the request to purchase property on
North West Street in the historic area. He stated since 1962, the City had been operating
successful educational history tours program for third graders in the Mother Colony House, an
1857 structure of some importance to the City with the adjacent Red Cross House providing
restroom facilities for events occurring in the Colony House and utilizing an adjacent parcel for
parking. He commented the properties were now for sale at a fair market price and staff
recommended their purchase with the eventual intention of creating an historic mini-park on the
site. Council Member Galloway believed it was a wise decision to purchase the properties and
preserve the historic aspects of the structures for future generations and moved to approve Item
No. 14, seconded by Council Member Chavez. Roll call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council
Members: Chavez, Galloway, Hernandez and Sidhu. Noes - O. Motion carried.
15. Approve and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a Letter of Intent
D116 between the City of Anaheim and Contemporanea Progetti SRL; negotiate and execute a
subsequent agreement to secure the opening exhibit "Imperial Rome" for the 'The Muzeo';
appropriate additional expenditures related to the agreement, the opening and second
exhibit in the amount of $395,000; and appropriate additional expenditures related to
required furniture, fixtures and equipment to support the opening of the Muzeo in the
amount of $896,000.
Mayor Pringle had pulled this item from the consent calendar to emphasize the activity going on in
Anaheim relating to historic preservation. He noted that behind the Carnegie Library, a new
structure had been constructed with units on the top and the ground floor designated as a history
museum and library. He noted that the entire City's historical artifacts would be housed in the
museum, now identified as the "Muzeo" to be used as an educational resource center. For the
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
September 26, 2006 - Page 8
opening in 2007 as a celebration of the City's sesquicentennial event, an important opening exhibit
had been secured, artifacts related to "Imperial Rome", never before seen in the United States.
He added that a foundation was being established to raise funds to support future exhibits and to
keep the Muzeo successfully operating long after the City's investment.
Mayor Pringle moved to approve Item No. 15, seconded by Council Member Hernandez. Roll call
vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council Members: Chavez, Galloway, Hernandez and Sidhu. Noes
- O. Motion carried.
18. Approve distribution of a Request for Information (RFI) inviting outdoor advertisers to
M142 submit recommendations for a billboard exchange program.
Mayor Pringle indicated that Council had discussed the billboard RFI at a previous meeting and
that his interest had been in hearing proposals from billboard advertisers as to what billboards they
would remove on the City's corridors, what exchange ratio would be offered and where the
exchange billboard was proposed to be located. He felt the RFI was too limiting and more detail
should be added. He also was not concerned as to what advertising value was placed on
proposed replacement billboards but was more interested in the number of billboards being
removed versus the replacement. Council Member Sidhu concurred in that more detail should be
added to the RFI and that the important issue in an exchange was the number of eyes that would
view a billboard on a freeway or other site versus the numbers observing billboards on corridor
streets.
With no objection from Council, Item No. 18 was continued to October 3, 2006 to allow revisions to
the RFI.
30. Appeal of order to abate a public nuisance at 373 South Ramsgate Drive.
D112 Receive and consider administrative record and recommendation of Hearing Officer
concerning Appeal of Dick Vogel and Barbara Cole, owners of the property at 373 South
Ramsgate Drive, from an Order to Abate a Public Nuisance at said property; and consider
abatement of nuisances at 357 and 365 South Ramsgate Drive.
Jack White, City Attorney, reported Item No. 30 was the culmination of a lengthy process to declare
public nuisances on four parcels on Ramsgate Drive. He noted the nuisance was caused by land
movement and demolition work necessitating debris removal on the properties. He added one of
the properties had completed debris removal; however the remaining three were still involved. The
owners of 373 Ramsgate Drive had appealed the nuisance, a hearing officer had presided over the
appeal and had recommended the nuisance be upheld. Staff was recommending Council confirm
the hearing officer recommendation to declare three properties on Ramsgate Drive a public
nuisance and approve an emergency contract to undertake removal of the debris and charge the
cost to the property owners, should it be necessary.
Council Member Chavez moved to:
Approve and adopt the administrative record and findings of fact, deny the appeal and affirm the
order to abate the public nuisance, clarify the order of abatement as recommended by the hearing
officer and modify the order of abatement to provide that the property owners shall have ten (10)
calendar days from the date of posting of the order to abate the nuisance or such nuisance shall be
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
September 26, 2006 - Page 9
abated by the City and approve the order as so modified, pursuant to recommendations of the
hearing officer with regard to the property located at 373 Ramsgate Drive, Anaheim, California;
to authorize and approve an emergency contract for the abatement by the City of the public
nuisance located at 373 South Ramsgate Drive, Anaheim, California, in the event said nuisance is
not completely abated by the owner(s) of said property within ten (10) calendar days from the date
of posting of the order to abate; and
to authorize and approve an emergency contract for the abatement by the City of the public
nuisances pursuant to the final orders relating to the properties located at 357 and 365 South
Ramsgate Drive, Anaheim, California.
Motion was seconded by Council Member Hernandez. Roll call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle,
Council Members: Chavez, Galloway, Hernandez and Sidhu. Noes - O. Motion carried.
31. Appointment of one representative to the Four Corners Transportation Coalition Board.
0148
With no objection from Council, Mayor Pringle continued the appointment to October 3, 2005.
PUBLIC HEARING:
32. This is a public hearing to consider the approval of the Fifth Amended and Restated
1427 Franchise Agreement with Taormina Industries, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic
Services, Inc.
Doris Roush, Public Works Operations Manager, indicated the Taormina Franchise agreement had
been approved in 1994 for the collection, handling, processing, recycling, transportation and
disposal of solid waste in the City and the 5th amended and restated agreement was to clarify
contract language related to franchise management.
Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing.
William Fitzgerald, resident, urged denial of Item No. 32, stating the franchise should not be
amended as William Taormina, a generous contributor of funds to the City, benefited by a contract
never put out for competitive bid.
With no other public input received, Mayor Pringle closed the hearing.
Mayor Pringle countered remarks made stating the franchise agreement had been sold by the
Taormina family several years ago, was now owned by another company and that the amended
and restated agreement was to remove the names of Vince and William Taormina from the
contract to reflect changes that had occurred in 2003.
Council Member Sidhu supported the amendment stating he was pleased to see the City would
have the right to approve any management individual working with the City on solid waste issues.
Council Member Chavez moved to approve Ordinance No. 6032, seconded by Council Member
Sidhu.
