A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was posted at 11:55 a.m. on March
22, 1996 at the Civic Center kiosk, containing all items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the workshop portion of the meeting of March 26, 1996 to order at 3:20 p.m.
City Manager, James Ruth. He inl~oduced Police Chief, Randy Gaston who, along with his staff, will make the
subject presentation today.
156: TOTAL INTEGRATED BOOKING AND IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM: Police Chief, Randy Gaston. The
presentation today involves a very new technology that is proven and implemented in various parts of the United
States. The Forensic Services Division of the Police Department has spent a great deal of time reseamhing
the technology, puffing together a package and are presently working with Pumhasing to develop a bid
specitication. The department wanted the opportunity to explain what the system is and how the department
does business at present, itites in directly with the long-term problem of correctly identifying people. He then
introduced membem of his staff in the Forensic Sen~ces Unit inside the Detective Division - Commander Roger
Baker, and the Lieutenant in charge of the Crimes Persons Bureau, Ted Labahn. The two individuals who put
the presentation together are Forensics Specialist, Pat Noity and Forensics Supen/isor, Jim Connally who will
make the presentation.
Jim Connally, Supervisor, Forensic Services Detail. The presentation will explain some of the weaknesses
presently in their current booking and local criminal history stystem and how the technology available today can
solve those problems, (Mr. Connally's digital slide presentation coincided with the material contained in the
booklet entitled, TIBIS, Total Integrated Booking and Identification System - Anaheim Police Department -
Forensic Services Detail - made a part of the record). The presentation covered the history and background
on booking, the problem with the present booking process, 19th and 20th century technology wherein
~mgerlxints are still collected and filed the same today as in 1916, the current photograph system for mug shots
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 26, 1996
is over 25 years old, no current automated systems interface with each other, internal identifies (i.e., only 20%
of all arrestees have identity confirmed by fingerprints and arrestees may be booked using false identifies
qualif~iog for release instead of increased bail amounts), current technology which is Cai-ID, is outdated and
scheduled to be phased out by the State in 2000, the long delay in enby due to backlog at the County level, etc.
The latter pardon of Mr. Connally's presentation elaborated on the vision they have for the Police Department-
real-time identification to keep criminals off the streets of Anaheim, a faster way to match crime scene prints
to suspects, integration of existing systems, improvements in Police productivity, increased public safety, and
compliance with 21st century FBI standards. He then explained how they plan to get there with the new system
('RBIS). He emphasized that TIBIS will be open to the growing technologies of the future and that it will be the
future gateway to Federal and State data bases. He explained that AFIS - Automated Fingerprint Identification
(raa~me idenfiflcafion with direct latent input) is the heart of TIBIS which will be coordinated with the Records
Management System. Identification will be accomplished in minutes and seconds instead of hours and days.
The data base will be specific to the needs of Anaheim and Anaheim Police will have sole control. TIBIS is
designed to be open and because of the open amhitecture, can adapt to any new standards.
In closing his detailed presenta§on, he referred to the September, 1995 gun baffle that Officer Tim Garcia had
with Ignacio Perez who was show~ in a slide. Mr. Perez, who slipped through the system five times, was killed
and Officer Garda wounded. They cannot say if the shooting could have been prevented, but if the true identity
and the criminal history of Mr. Perez had been known at the time of his last arrest in June, he may have been
in prison or at least deported again taking him off the streets. The proper identification of criminals is important
not only to the public, but also to the Police for their safety.
Chief Gaaton. This is excilJng technology that is proven and established. Anaheim will probably be one of the
first Califomia agencies to take it into implementation mode. The technology will expand to where officers will
have personal computers in their cars replacing mobile data terminals. They will be able to transmit and
receive fingerprints for identification purposes from the field and also transmit to the field photographs of
individuals, it will be a tremendous step and intemally will save a lot of investigative time. As shown in the slide,
65% of the time, the individual has been in custody before. With this system, the information will be instantly
input and thus provide the ability to properly identify an individual rapidly. The department will be moving ahead
to develop a proposal and the Council will be further informed as the proposal develops.
Questions ware posed by Council Members answered by the Chief wherein he explained that the system would
reduce the amount of time an officer might spend t~ing to run identifications inside the department, The
biggest internal time savings will be in the redundancy created by mis-identifications. The detectives will save
time in the sense that they can actually begin to investigate the criminal offense as opposed to spending a lot
of front-end time just trying to figure out who the parson is.
City Manager Ruth explained for the Mayor that the system has been reviewed with the Police Department and
will be recommending file system for Council's consideration during the budget hearings in June. It will be an
operational cost estimated at $350,000 annually. Although it is a major cost factor, it will also be a time sever
and provide much greater efficiency for the operation of the department especially better utilization of Police
Officers.
Chief Gaaton explained that there will also be an initial cost and some modification that will have to be done
inside the facility. The basic annual cost of $350,000 is for an open-end lease, the advantage being that
technology upgrades will be incorporated into the system as they come along. The proposel is not to purchase
the system butto engage in a lease from the vendor, and contingent upon them making any upgrades as the
technology changes.
Mayor Daly. He thanked Chief Gaston and his staff for the informative presentation. The Council will look
fonvard to hearing additional details during budget hearings in June.

ITEMS OF PUBUC INTEREST:
Joan Hester, Sherwood Apartments, 2127 W. Ball Road, ~C, Anaheim 92804. She has been living at the
Sherwood Apartments for over eight years. They have trash removal and the cost has steadily gone up
until it is now 1/3 more than her Utility bill. When she called, she was informed that each trash bin is for
eight apartments and the trash is to be collected twice a week. However, it is only being collected once a
week for 20 apartments. When she informed the City, an Inspector was sent out for about tWo months.
The inspector subsequently called her back and said it was supposed to be eight apartments twice a week.
A sign was then placed on the bin to that effect but it is still for 20 apartments. She lives on Ball Rd. and the
trash bins are for Juno Avenue, the next street. Now she has to use the trash bins on Juno and is still
paying over $30 and does not even have a trash bin.
Mayor Daly. He asked that she submit her exact address and number and the Council will ask the City
Manager to have staff look into the matter and straighten out any confusion that may exist.

CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 1996
Joseph Kung, Imperial Canyon Shopping Center, 5581 Santa Ana Canyon Road, Anaheim. Since he
spoke to the Council last Tuesday (see minutes that date), he sent a letter to the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) dated 3/20/96 to stop the 'Smart Street" project. Along with this letter, he
introduced into the record a petition he started on March 20, 1996 signed by citizens of The Anaheim Hills
area. He has also decided to change his course of action and give pesitive suggestions. He then
presented three slides (view graphs) which involved the intersection of Imperial Highway and Santa Ana
Canyon Road and of particular concern, eastbound Santa Aha Canyon Road, east of Imperial to Via
Cortez. (His letter of 3/25/96, specifically pages 3 and 4, item t through 7, outlined his concerns, requests
and recommendations.) Mr. Kung then outlined his suggestions/proposed designs to alleviate the traffic
problems in that area referring also to the visual data documented in the three video tapes submitted at the
meeting of March 19, 1996 and correlating that data with his presentation.
In concluding, Mr. Kung stated he believes he can convince the citizens or residents of Anaheim Hills to
permit the City to drive over the shoulder on eastbound Santa Aha Canyon Road between the hours of 4:30
and 6:30 only on weekdays thereby increasing the traffic capacity by 50%. He clarified for the Mayor that
he is suggesting three left-turn lanes on Imperial with a split-phase traffic signal design. He then clarified
for Council Member Zemel that he is recommending that the shoulder be used as a lane and that he has
talked to some people including Sheila Harel.
Council Member Zemel suggested that Mr. Kung speak with him since he was the one who ran the meeting
when the issues of traffic at that location were discussed. He is well aware of the sentiment relative to the
issue.
Mayor Daly. The Council has a copy of his March 25, 1996 letter. Last week, the Council asked staff to
evaluate some of the ideas that were presented et that time and will ask them to do the same with what Mr.
Kung laid out today.
Seferino Garda. He was appreciative ofthe Proclamation adopted today on the 10th Annual Celebration
of National Community Development Week. He would like to again bring to the Council's attention
something they tried to do in the past - the establishment of a Community Youth Forum for the youth of
Anaheim. They would like to have City agencies present, the Chief of Police, his staff, and everyone
dealing with programs in the City to be present, it is necessary in order to save the youth of the City, They
need to have gang reclamation. Millions of dollars are bing spent but gang problems are getting worse.
VV'ith a forum, it will bring in a lot of students and youth and members of the community that can help. He is
asking for the Council's support. In the futura, he will be bringing back a proposal on the concept and the
idea. The City's late Police Chief (Joe Molloy) had a vision that if they worked together, they could alleviate
a lot of the problems they have in the community. They were planning on having a youth forum in the
Council Chamber and subsequently the Chief passed away. The CDBG has a Youth Committee
comprised of youth brothers who work closely with the community. That is why it was so important to initiate
the National Community Development Week. It is necessary to have more support if they want to get to the
bottom of the problem.
Mayor Daly thanked Mr. Garda for his input.

Public input was received on agenda item A17. See discussion under that Item.

CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 267 1996
Sharon Lesk, Trustee of the Leo Freedman Foundation. She is present to discuss a satisfactory resolution
to the renaming of Freedman Way which was named after her late Groat Uncle, Leo Freedman. She has
talked to John Lower, the City's Traffic and Transportation Manager and they have come up with a
proposal, if the Council agrees, which is acceptable to her and the other Trustee, Ellis Stearn that at the
same time the existing Freedman Way is to be renamed effective in February of 1998, to also rename
Clementine-Manchester from Katalla Avenue to the Santa Ana Freeway - Freedman Way. It will be
particularly safisf~ng for her since the current Clementime-Manchester going from south to north, borders
on the parking lot of the Grand Hotel which her Uncle built. The naming of the current Freedman Way
meant a great deal to her Uncle who developed Melodyland and the Anaheim Plaza Hotel. She then
thanked Jim Ruth and Richard Bruckner who got involved when she asked what was taking place. Her
intent has not been to make this an adversarial situation. They have worked with the City very well and want
to continue to do so. In addition, she understands it would be unlikely to get a freeway e~dt sign for the
Freedman Forum in downtown Anaheim;however, Mr. Lower did say with Council approval he would be
willing to install a small sign on the City street at the Santa Ana Freeway going north at Harbor or
somewhere in that vicinity directing people to the Freedman Forum Concert Theater and also a directional
sign at the 57 Freeway. She would very much appreciate that. Her great Uncle had a commitment to the
City in his lifetime and on his death with the creation of the Freedman Foundation which is continuing today.
Since 1991, the Foundation has given almost 1/2 million dollars directly to the City of Anaheim in cash as
well as grants. At this time, she would feel more comfortable if there could be a resolution to the effect of
beginning a process of renaming Clementine-Manchester, Freedman Way effective with the renaming of
the current Freedman Way and with directional signs to the theater. In this way, there will be something in
the record that would reflect an agreement if the Council is predisposed to do that.
Mayor Daly. He thanked Ms. Lesk for her graciousness regarding the whole subject. He appreciates that
she understands they are t~ing to accommodate the Caltrsns schedule. The widening of the Santa Ana
Freeway through the City is going to be a very disruptive project. Every interchange throughout Anaheim is
going to be completely rebuilt. A great deal of engineering coordination needs to be done along with
related street changes that go hand in hand. He is going to recommend that they start the ball rolling on
her suggestion. It will take a few weeks. Property owners have to be notified and feedback received before
they can take formal, legally binding action. They do have a schedule to accommodate regarding the
freeway off ramps. He is going to suggest that the City Council consider Ms. Lesk's suggestion and ask
staff to start working on the subject understanding that final a~on could not be taken until at least a few
weeks down the read.
Sharon Lesk. She also told Mr. Lower that she and Ellis Steam would be willing to work with the City in
talking to some of the property owners. Pdor to Disneyland becoming Disneyland, her Great Uncle bought
and owned acres and acres of citrus groves and farmlands there. This is in the same area and it does
intersect with what is now Freedman Way which she understands will become Disney Way. She feels, at
least for her, he must be sufficiently honored.
Mayor Daly. He again thanked her for taking the time to be present. He is going to ask staffto follow up
with her on the notion of recognizing her Uncle's involvement in the citrus industry and maybe some other
possibilities in terms of community art projects.
City Clerk Sohl stated she will be happy to inform Ms. Lesk when the item is placed on the agenda.
City Attorney White. He surmises it would be the Council's intention, since this is not an agenda item
tonight, that the item be agendized alter all the appropriate notifications are given to the surrounding
property owners and brought back to the Council at a future date for consideration; Mayor Daly. It will be
the same process used in the package they now have.

Area No. 4 for which a valid parking permit issued at a cost of $10 shall be required to park: 1) The
north and south side of Bluebell Avenue from Haster Street to Oertley Drive; 2) the north and south

from Haster Street to Oertley Drive; and 4) the east and west side of Oertley Drive south of
Orangewood Avenue to Wilken Way.
Submitted was report dated March 26, 1996 from the Department of Public Works recommending approval
of 'Resident Only-Permit Parking" on the subject streets.
Mayor Daly. He first asked if anyone was present in opposition to the permit parking only proposal for
proposed Parking Area No. 4 covering the subject streets; no one was present in opposition. He then
asked to hear from Mr. Gene Baxley who asked to speak as the spokesperson for the residents.
Mr. Gene Baxley. He first asked those residents of Bluebell, Cliffwood, Witken Way and Oertley who were
present to stand to show their support for this item (there were approximately 30 people). He stated many
residents were unable to attend the meeting in fear of not having a place to park when they returned home.
On behalf of the residents, he thanked and commended the City on its efforts to curb crime and gang
activities in the Leatrice, Wakefield and Mountain View target areas with parking restrictions. They support
the efforts 100%. That action, however, caused the problem to move to their adjacent community. He then
relayed the long list of problems they now have to live with which were outlined in his statement submitted
to the Council (see letter/statement entitled - Resident Only Parking submitted by Mr. Baxley - made a part
of the record). The petition before the Council is further proof of their desire to assist the City, Police
Department and Code Enforcement in curtailing the deplorable activities that have troubled the
neighborhood for so long. They urged the Council to grant their request for resident- only parking at the
earliest possible time.
Mayor Daly. He thanked Mr. Baxley for summarizing the reasons for the request. They have reports from
City staff which recommend moving forward w~th resident-only permit parking. They appreciate how
cooperative the residents have been in working with City staffto resolve the problem. Before closing the
hearing, he again asked if anyone was present in opposition;there was no response. Mayor Daly also noted
that the staff report mentions that 76% of the property owners have signed the peri'don supporting permit
only perking.
Mayor Daly closed the hearing.
Council Member Feldhaus offered Resolution No. 96R-44 for adoption.
RESOLUTION NO. 96R-44: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

Council Member Lopoz. It is commendable that the residents worked with the Police Deprtment on this
matter. He noted Officer Cook in the audience who had been working out in that neighborhood.

CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 26, 1996
Mayor Daly announced that staff contact on this issue will be John Lower, the City's Traffic and
Transportation Manager.
Additional discussion followed wherein the residents were informed by staff that the resolution adopted by
the Council, No. 96R-44, takes effect immediately but that enforcement cannot begin until the signs are
posted, the permit process in place, and the permits issued.
John Lower, Traffic and Transportation Manager. The residents need to come to City Hall, Room #263,
and pay for the permit ($10 each). He believes that in 30 days they can start enforcing permit parking.
Mayor Daly. He inquired if there is a simpler way to accomplish the task of getting permits, perhaps as a
group rather than everyone having to do so and asked Mr. Lower to call Mr. Baxley to determine the most
convenient way; Mr. Lower stated he will do that.

STAFF INPUT:
See Staff report to the Planning Commission dated February 5, 1996.
Mayor Daiy. The sole reason he asked for a hearing was to try to cladfy the potential for conflict that exists
with a church in this light manufacturing zone. He wants to be certain they all understand the
circumstances. He asked Planning staffto comment briefly on what their typical approach is in similar
situations. This is an industrial neighborhood where some uses have been in place for 25 or 30 years.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. Staff and the Planning Commission share the viewpoint and concern
expressed. This is also in a Redevelopment Project area. included in the Council packets are letters from
the Diocese of Orange. One outlines the status of the CUP and the application. They are close to pulling a
building permit. One of the documents is a memorandum referred to as an MOU (Memorandum of
Understanding) between the Diocese and the Redevelopment Agency dated November 9, 1994 (to
Reverend Saan Brazil, SSC, Reverend Yong-Soo Park, and members of the Saint Thomas Korean
Catholic Center from Bishop Michael P. Driscoll). He is certain there are church representatives present
who can comment and answer questions. The document specifies that they understand future
developments surrounding the site could be industrial and they would not object. The Planning
Commission examined the document in detail and discussed it at their meeting. There is wrftten
correspondence from the church in that regard.
Mayor Daly. There are two items from the Diocese of Orange. One is a letter from Reverend Michael
Driscoll to Richard Bruckner and the second is a memo from Bishop Driscoll to Reverend Sean Brazil (see
above). He asked the City Attorney to comment on how binding the documents are.
City Attorney White. The letters that have been received appear to have been received as part of the
original process for the issuance of the CUP. Therefore, he believes the CUP was issued in part at least by
the City upon the understanding that there would be no objection to future industrial uses by the permittee
and if there were, in his opinion, the City would be in a position to call into review the existing CUP on the
grounds that it was obtained through some misrepresentation that the parties were now objecting to
something when they promised not to. It is not a binding contract with the City whereby they can go to court
and fome the chumh not to file an objection. If the Church were to do so, they would bo subjecting their
own permit to great jeopardy. He also answered additional questions bythe Mayor regarding hypothetical
future land uses that may be proposed by the Redevelopment Agency that may not be acceptable to the
Church. He explained that the property owner would have the right to object in any manner that was
appropriate as would any other property owner.
Joel Fick. Staff agrees and concurs with the comments by the City Attorney.
Mayor Daly opened the Public Hearing and invited representatives of the property owner to speak.
Bishop Michael Driscoll, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Orange, representing the Roman Catholic
Bishop of Orange, owner of all church properties in the Diocese, which emcompasses all of Orange

County. W~th him tonight are representatives of the community and Father Benedict Klm who is the priest
now in charge of the community as assigned by Bishop McFariand. At the time of the memorandum, it was
Father Park who has now returned to Korea. Father Klm is present and assigned to that community by
Bishop McFarfand and the Bishop of Korea. He is the Director of the community. Mr. Thomas Lee is a
member of the community and one of the Counsel for Father Kim. Donald Crough is a representative of
the Diocese in charge of Building and Construction, and Glen Gellatiy is a member of Bissell Architects who
designed the facility. They are prepared to answer any specific questions. The MOU was prior to the actual
Planning Commission meeting. It was between the Bishop of Orange and the Korean commune. The
Bishop had the same concerns as the City Council and Planning Commission in that the Korean community
wished to buy the Borax building which was in an industrial zone where they knew there could be uses that
might be incompatible. There was also the possibility the Borax site could have hazardous waste. That
proved not to be a problem and the MOU was initiated because of the Bishop's concern that the community
recognized the fact that they were in an industrial zone and if such permission were given, they would
acknowledge and respect that and not protest other industries that would go into the area. The Penhall
Company informed Bishop McFarland that they would be a benevolent neighbor but also wanted the
Bishop to know what their position was. That was what triggered the MOU. The agreement was signed by
the people who are the chief representatives of the Korean community. He clarified that the only one who
could lodge a protest is the Bishop himself because he is the property owner. The Bishop currently, and
any of his successors, is going to live by that agreement. He also has the assurances of Father Benedict
Klm and he is sure that any of his successors would also live by the agreement because the Bishop would
enforce that. They are hoping the Council will give the extension of time. They are prepared within weeks
to go forward with construction. What took time was the matter of raising the extra funds.
Council Member Lopez. He had the same concerns raised by the Mayor including the safety of children.
He was on the Board of Education whose headquarters are across the street from the subject property and
they received some calls. His concern was the use seven days a week, mornings and evenings. He does
not want children walking over to the Penhall property and getting themselves into a dangerous situation.
Bishop Driscoll. The operation is different from a normal parish church. It is more ufa center. What will
take place during the week would be a night Mass and adult meetings. The children would gather on
Sunday the same time their parents gather. Now, the entire family comes to Servite High School and while
MasS is being celebrated for the adults, the children are being taught religious studies. When Mass and
studies are finished, the children have Mass while the adults have a social. That is the way the Korean
community operates so they will be under supervision and there should not be a problem.
Council Member Feldhaus. He commends the Diocese or Orange as well as Penhall for getting together
and resolving what was a potential problem with an MOU.
Council Member Tait. He knows it was not an official action of the Diocese when there was a protest at a
prior hearing on a conflicting use (Penhall). So that it is on the record, if there are conflicting uses, this is an
industrial zone and those uses would take precedent, at least in his mind. He thanked the Bishop for his
cooperation.
Mayor Daly closed the Public Hearing.
Mayor Daly. He asked if staff had any additional language in terms of conditioning the permit.
17
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 1996
City Attorney White. The only thing on the agenda tonight is a motion to approve or deny a retroactive
extension of time to comply with e~stng conditions. No other conditions could be amended this evening.
Given enough time, he could draft some language to add to conditions but he is not sure in light of the
discussions tonight and letters in the file that that is necessary. He feels the Council can act on the matter
tonight as it stands.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Mayor Daly seconded by
Council Member Tait the City Council approved the negalNe declaration upon finding that it has considered
the negative declaration together with any comments received during the public review process, and further
finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. MOTION CARRIED.

STAFF INPUT:
See Staff report to the Planning Commission dated March 4, 1996.
Mayor Daly asked if anyone was present either in favor or in opposition to the proposal.
City Attorney White. The City of Anaheim initiated the application at the request of the Seattle Seahawks
Football Team, Inc. At the time the City was negotiating a lease agreement with the School District and
sublease with the football team to continue utilization of the Juliette Low School property as a football
practice facility and offices. The property been utilized to a similar extent by the Los Angeles Rams since
1978. They were recently informed by the team they are not currently in a pos~ion to consumate the lease
agreement. Therafore, staff is not bdnging to the Council any documents relating to the lease and that has
been withdrawn from the agenda. However, staff is recommending at this time that the City conduct the
Public Hearing on the application tonight, because it has been noticed and scheduled for this date. The
Council can act upon it and even if approved, would still require some lease arrangement to be made with
the School Distdct and the team to make it happen. It would put the zoning in place, if at some time within
the next three years the parties were in a position to consummate the transaddon. All the information
before the Planning Commission, the testimony in the files, etc., are part of the record of tonight's hearing
and incorporated into this proceeding. If there are any additional public comments pro or con, those can be
received at this t~me.
Mayor Daly. He questioned why the lease is for only three years.
City Attorney White. That was the original request and that was the way it was noticed; however, it is not
necessary to limit it to three years.
19
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 1996
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. The original uso permit was not granted with any time limitations.
When the Planning Commission hearing was held, the Commission was interested in the length of the
potential lease and felt it would be appropriate to also limit the CUP. The Commission imposed a three-
year limitation alter some discussion at the meeting noting that if something different happened, it could
always be readverfised again and be considered in that instance for a time extension.
Cit~ Attorney White. He again confirmed that the Council has the ability to change any of the conditions.
Mayor Daly. It might be a good policy in this case to include a longer time period, primarily because of the
logistics of renewing permits and some of the other reasons that may come up. He does not see any
reason not to have a four or five-year term; Council Members agreed.
Mayor Daly closed the Public Hearing.
CAUFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: On motion by Mayor Daly seconded by Council
Member Tait the City Council finds that the Negative Declaration previously approved in connection with
CUP 1897 is adequate to serve as the required environmental documentation, that it has considered the
previously approved Negative Declaration together with any comments and evidence received during the
public review process and that them are no additional impacts in connection with the subject action.
MOTION CARRIED.

Council Member Tait. An INS liaison Committee Meeting was held today and INS announced that they will
start a 60-day Pilot Program in the City to ptace not one, but two INS Agents in the City jail. Although it was
not the 180 days requested, it will be two agents. He thanked Council Member Zemel for initiating the
proposal and the program and also to the Council for supporting the program, it will address 35% of the
crime in Anaheim and will definitely make a difference. He also thanked those in the City's Congressional
delogation who helped to get fire program approved. He recounted the fact that he and Council Member
Zemel went to Washington, D.C. and spoke to the Representatives who were instrumental in getting this
passed (Cox, Dornan, Klm, Royce, Rohrabacher, Representative Delahey from Ventura, Senator Diane
Feinstein and Senator Al Simpson from Wyoming, Chairman of the INS Subcommittee). it is a big step
forward. He again commended the Council for addressing the crime problem in Anaheim through this
program.
