Relative to the Crime-Anaheim Illegal Alien Pre-arraignment Identification Program, (change federal law

ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Joe Kung, Imperial Canyon Shopping Center, 5581 East Santa Ana Canyon Road, Anaheim 92807. He
first thanked Gary Johnson, Public Works Director/City Engineer and John Lower, Traffic and
Transportation Manager for directing their staff to listen to his comments where they spent long hours
with him. They reviewed his data and gave constructive comments and how to do basic traffic
management. After spending almost 700 hours in four months on this matter, finally last week he
received positive comments from staff. They told him two of his specific suggestions to improve and
synchronize the traffic control system at Impedal and Santa Aha Canyon Road have been implemented.
He also thanked the Council for both positive and negative comments given to him during the last four
months. Tonight he is presenting a total of eight letters for their review (letter of 6/13/96 from Kirk
Cess,la/Department of Transportation to Mr. Kung, letter of 6/25/96 from Kung to Anthony
Liudzius/Caltrans, traffic count data collected 5/31/96 and 6/14/96, Impedal Highway and La Palma Ave.
intersection, letter of 6/21/96 from Kung to James Paral/Traffic Engineer, City of Anaheim, letter of
6/19/96 from Kung to Canyon Hills Community Leaders, letter from Kung to Roy Stephenson, Public
Works/City of Yorba Linda and letter of 6/11/96 from Kung to Anaheim City Council and City Manager -
made a part of the record). In concluding, Mr. Kung stated that he needed some suggestions and
comments on who to talk to in the Legislature or who can tell Caltrans to do a better job for the citizens of
Anaheim.
Angela Keefe, President and Business Manager, Local 681 Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union
representing 5,000 working families in Orange County and specifically tonight representing 150 of their
members who work at the Anaheim Convention Center to appeal to the Council to assist in bdnging to an
end the labor dispute at the Convention Center. She asked those members present to stand
(approximately 20) noting that as a public service, she is not asking them all to speak. They have been
in contract negotiations for the past two months with Aramark with very few issues left on the table, but
very important ones. The company wants to reduce staff hours which threatens to bring 50% of the work
force who now have medical benefits below the hours where they will not be eligible to receive those
benefits, and also a wage freeze. The majodty make under $8.00 an hour and they are asking for a total
5.5% wage increase over the next four years. She then bdefed the Council on what has been happening
relative to negotiations since last fall. At the close of her presentation, she stated that the Council has a
proprietary interest in the Convention Center as do all of the citizens. She does not think the City had
any intention of taking things away from hard working people at the Convention Center when the City
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 25, 1996
mede their deal with Aramark last year. Their members cannot afford to pay what Aramark feels they
lost at the negotiating table. The City will lose business at the Convention Center as well as the hotels
around the canter. They are asking Anaheim to get involved and to take an active interest in getting the
contract settled.
Mayor Daly. He will ask the City Manager to apprise the Council in coming weeks of the progress of the
negotiations because it does impact a City facility. He asked the City Manager to report to the Council
the status of the situation.
City Manager Ruth. He has been in touch with the Convention Center Manager who is preparing a
report. He (Ruth) would be happy to share that with the Council.
Ms. Keefe asked if they could get a copy of the report.
Mayor Daly. He asked the City Attorney if the report will be a public document.

If it involves a labor

amending Section 7.16,060 OF CHAPTER 7.16 OF TITLE 7 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO PUBLIC NUDITY.
A13.
108: ORDINANCE NO. 5669 (Introduction) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
amending various SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 18.89 OF TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SEX-ORIENTED BUSINESSES.
Joe Ling, Attorney, 555 E. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach. He is present to represent the theater owner and
operator of the Flamingo Theater. On behalf of his cJient, there am currently controlling regulations that
have been complied with by his client when he was issued his business license, it seems the
memorandum from the City Attomey dated June 14, 1996 addresses the issue of non-conforming
businesses established prior to July 20, 1993. His impression in reading the memorandum was that the
6' distance requirement between entertainers and patrons is going to be mandated; however, that the
premises is to be remodeled to permit the seating the business previously had when they did not have
the requirement of the 6' distance. The basic issue is an ordinance that was on file which his client was
required to comply with. It seems this amendment is addressed to the individuals who have not been
able to comply in the same type of business. He questioned why the ordinance hasn't been enforced
against the other two establishments involved in the same business. If so, will they be required to have
additional parking spaces to compensate for the number of patrons they have in the business itself.
Mayor Daly. He asked the City Attorney to comment to the extent appropriate on the question raised.
City Attorney White. The question, as he understands, relates to the one provision that is proposed in
the ordinance which would authorize existing businesses in existence before they adopted the current
SexOriented Business ordinance to redesign their stage area and seating area in order to comply with
the minimum 6' distance required that must be maintained under the code between entertainers and
patrons without increasing the seating capacity. There are three businesses in Anaheim that predate the
current adult business ordinance. At least one of those businesses cannot currently comply with the
ordinance without losing a significant number of seats because of the way the stage and premises are
configured. The proposed ordinance would recognize the fact that the location is not able to comply with
the distance requirement without changing the seating configuration - not the number of seats, but just
the configuration. This would put everyone on an equal footing including the Flamingo Theater. In
answer to Mr. Ling's other question, the City has every intention of equally enforcing all of the provisions
against each of the businesses in the City, both pre-existing businesses and those that may get permits
after the ordinance is in effect.
A14. 117: Receiving and filing the Investment Portfolio Report Executive Summary for the month of
May, 1996, as submitted by the City Treasurer.
Council Member Tait. A little over a year ago, the Council established an Investment Advisory
Commission to develop an investment policy along with the City Treasurer. He feels this is working out
'phenomenally' well. The investment policy for Anaheim recently received an award for excellence from
the Municipal Treasurer's Association, one of only 120 cities or counties in the country to receive the
award. He commended the Commission as well as the City Treasurer for a job well done.

APPLICABLE TO EMPLOYEES IN MANAGEMENT, CONFIDENTIAL AND NON-
REPRESENTED PART-TIME CLASSIFICATIONS.
City Manager Ruth. Staff has requested that this item be removed from the agenda at this time.
153: RESOLUTION NO. 96R-119: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 91R-125 WHICH ESTABLISHED RATES OF
COMPENSATION FOR CLASSIFICATIONS DESIGNATED AS UNREPRESENTED PART-
TIME. (CERTAIN PART-TIME RECREATION CLASSIFICATIONS.) (Continued From The
Meetings Of June 11, 1996, Item A20, And June 18, 1996, Item A26.)
175/123: RESOLUTION NO. 96R-120: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM REQUESTING MEMBERSHIP iN THE POWER AGENCY OF
CALIFORNIA; AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE JOINT POWERS
AGREEMENT; APPROVING THE SCHEDULING AND DISPATCHING SERVICES
AGREEMENT, AND AUTHORIZING THE PUBLIC UTILITIES GENERAL MANGER TO

127: Directing the City Attorney and City Clerk to prepare the necessary documents to place a
measure on the November 5, 1996, General Municipal Election Ballot, ratifying the existing
Transient Occupancy Tax, as set by the City Council in November of 1994, and implemented in
July Of 1995.
Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. If the Council is going to put this issue on the ballot perhaps the
Council could take some action which he feels was overlooked in the initial increase in the area of
fairness. Comparing Anaheim's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) with other cities in Orange County, it is
one of the highest but comparing the amount that makes its way to the General Fund, approximately 6%,
it is one of the lowest. He would like the Council to take the stand a previous Council has taken and
perhaps dedicate 1/2% or 1% of the increase (re: increase in the TOT from 13% to 15% implemented in
July, 1995) back to the General Fund where it could help with expenses in important areas such as
arterial highway maintenance which has had a continuing deficit for several years or to preserve good
quality of life in neighborhoods.
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 1996
City Clerk Sohl, She referred to letter dated June 25, 1996 from the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce
which she previously submitted to the Council. The Chamber requested that the letter be a pert of the
record on this item.
Mayor Daly. The Council has a copy of the letter from the Chamber in support of going forward with the
proposed ballot measure quoting from the letter, 'The City has made commitments based upon the
availability of this tax and the months and months of effort that have gone into the Anaheim Resort
Project, including the expansion of the Anaheim Convention Center, would be put into jeopardy.'
Council Member Zemel. He assumes what they are trying to do is cimumvent a new State initiative and
further assuming that the State-wide measure is going to pass and the City is trying to take an action
proactively.
City Manager Ruth. if they do not do it this time, it will be a two-year wait.
City Attorney White. Answering Council Member Zemel, he explained what the Jarvis Initiative says is
that any increase to a tax or a new tax put in place after January 1, 1995 has to be approved by the
voters on or before November of 1998 or at that time, it must be discontinued. Rather than wait until the
1998 election, the recommendation is to put the issue on the ballot at the same time the Jarvis Initiative
is on the ballot and worded in a way that it is contingent upon the Jan/is Initiative and, if it passes, does
the electorate wish to ratify the tax at the current rate. Relative to Mr. Kirsch's comments, all of the
money collected under the TOT goes into the City's General Fund. Portions are allocated for vadous
projects and purposes but none of that money is legally pledged to a particular purpose because the City
cannot do that. In incurring debt, on occasion, they will look for revenue streams to support the debt.
Sometimes the revenue stream that comes from TOT is used to pay the debt incurred, but all of it goes
into the General Fund and used for a wide variety of purposes. He confirmed for Council Member Zemel
that the distribution is decided by the Council at budget time.
184: Reviewing the need for continuing the Ninth Proclamation of the Existence of a Local
Emergency issued by the Director of Emergency Sen/ices on January 2, 1996, conceming the
Santiago Landslide and Pegasus Landslide in the City of Anaheim; and taking no action to
terminate the local emergency at this time.
A24. 114: Approving the minutes of the Anaheim City Council meeting held June 4, 1996,
153: RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM AMENDING RESOLUTION NOS. 92R-21, AND 92R-22 WHICH ESTABLISHED
RATES OF COMPENSATION FOR CLASSIFICATIONS DESIGNATED AS ADMINISTRATIVE
AND MIDDLE MANAGEMENT.
153: RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CiTY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM AMENDING RESOLUTION NOS, 92R-18 AND 92R-20 WHICH ESTABLISHED
RATES OF COMPENSATION FOR CLASSIFICATIONS DESIGNATED AS SUPERVISORY
AND PROFESSIONAL.
Phil Knypstra, 2520 Gelid, Anaheim. The Council is being asked to approve the proposed upgrades for
Police Lieutenants and Fire Battalion Chiefs to a higher grade so that they can make more money. He
feels the issue is, can the City afford to give more money and, if so, would it be better to spend it on rank
and file Firemen and Patrolmen than Administrators in those departments. He thereupon presented a
chart he had produced. Perhaps the Council was already aware of the data. What he tried to do is to
present the data in a format that may be more readable. (See sheet submitted - Total Compensation for
Calendar Year 1995 (Police Lieutenants only), 12 positions, and Total Compensation for Calendar Year
1995 (Battalion Chiefs only), 10 positions. The argument is made, to maintain internal consistencies in
9
CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 1996
salary structure, it is necessary to upgrade. His concem is extemal consistencies between other
governmental entities and the private sector. He then explained in detail the figures he presented in his
data sheet (base wages, overtime pay, other cash, total cash compensation, benefits, and total cost to
City). In concluding, he stated something has to be done about controlling safety salaries. He is not anti
Police and Fire, but politicians ars not willing to take this issue on. He feels that sooner or later they will
mn out of taxes and not be able to hire more Firemen or Policemen. He does not know what the Council
is going to do, but some day, somebody has to say no. He opposes the rscommendation because, in his
opinion, the City does not have the money.
Council Member Zemel. This appears to be a huge policy issue with regard to compaction.
City Manager Ruth. Compaction is part of it. He would like the Human Resources Dirsctor to rsspond.
Dave Hill, Human Resources Director. The second rscommendation under A25 deals with compaction
or comprsssion. The recommendation is limited to the immediate job classes above Police Officer and
Fire Fighter classification. The Police Officers do have a labor agrsement that runs from now through
June of 1998 so we are aware of the base rate changes that will occur from now through the rest of the
agreement. In order to maintain a minimum differsntial and encourage the Police Officers to compete
for Police Lieutenant, there will be a promotional recruitment just after the first of the year. They need to
maintain a minimum differential and encourage the Police Officers to compete for Police Lieutenant and
there will be a promotional recruitment just after the first of the year. They need to maintain some
minimal base pay differsntial between the two jobs in order to have their best employees apply and
compete. If they continue to have Sergeant and Lieutenant get closer together, people will opt to remain
in their bargaining unit position and the Chief will be limited to a smaller number of employees who will
compete for promotion. The goal is to maintain a minimal differential rather than a sizeable differsnce.
Police Officers will be receiving an incrsase in October of 1996 and if they do not move the Police
Lieutenant up, the differential between the two will shrink by another 4%. This is a proactive
recommendation to maintain a minimal differential in the 15 to 20% range depending on the job
classification.
Council Member Zemel asked if this same money could be used to put another Police Officer on the
street; City Manager Ruth. It is General Fund money and it could be dirscted to that or any other
Dave Hill. The total cost of the recommendation for the 23 employees is $17,650 and the Police and
Fire Departments ars not rsquesting any additional funding. It is the recommendation of those two
departments that they reprioritize their existing resources to fund this range change.
Council Member Zemel questioned the $141,000 figure.
Dave Hill. Those are the costs associated with the organizational changes, the new job classes and the
new programs implemented in each department as a part of the budget. The $141,000 is the actual cost
of implementing those provisions but reading the report in detail, he has indicated that positions have
been eliminated throughout those departments and other organizational changes have been made whers
the increased cost is more than offset by several hundrsd thousand dollars in rsduced operational costs
in the budget the Council adopted on June 11.
Mayor Daiy. He asked for clarification if the total cost of all of the classification upgrades with this
agenda item is $141,877 plus $17,650; Mr. Hill answered that was con'ect and confirmed the $17,650 is
the total cost affecting the 23 positions.
Council Member Zemel stated he is going to oppose the rscommendation.

CITY OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 1996
Council Member Tait. Mr. Knypstra's information was interesting; however, it is just for Police and Fire.
What he would like to see is the same information for the other classification changes they are planning
on making.
Dave Hill. Human Resources has that information for ail City employees since those are fully disclosed
each March. He would be happy to provide that information on any job or any group of jobs. Some of
the positions in the report are not yet filled so there is no incumbent reported dudng 1995.
Council Member Tait. He would like the information in the same format as submitted by Mr. Knypstra.
He thereupon moved that Item A25. be continued for two weeks to July 9, 1996 which is the next
regularly scheduled Council meeting. Council Member Feldhaus seconded the motion for puq~oses of
discussion.
Before a vote was taken, Council Member Lopez stated Sergeants and Police Officers are a different
bargaining unit. They have a long-term contract and the Lieutenants being Management have not had a
raise. On the last Lieutenant's exam, of 34 Sergeants, only 11 took the exam because the Sergeants are
making more money since they are entitled to overtime. Consequently, a lot of quality people who
should be taking the exam who will some day be Captains and Chiefs are not taking it because of the
situation. It is important to resolve the problem and to also look into all the other departments. Speaking
for the Police Department, it is a disservice to the department and the public when a Sergeant is
qualified and may have a Master's Degree but will not take the Lieutenant's exam because he cannot
afford it. He urged the Council to vote to approve this and then consider other departments if the same
situation is occudng in those departments.
Council Member Zemel asked if the Council voted to approve, would Sergeants theoretically move to
Lieutenants and positions open up for people to move to Sergeants.
Dave Hill. The greater the pool of competitors, the better the result. Each time a person is promoted, it
creates a vacancy at the Sergeant level which then creates an opportunity for promotion from Officer. It
does create the types of promotional opportunities Council Member Zemel describes.
Council Member Zemel. He is prepared to vote given the information he has received.
Council Member Feldhaus. He seconded the motion to continue as a courtesy to Council Member Tait
because he does not have all the information he would like. He wants Council Member Tait to feel
comfortable in his decision; Council Member Zemel stated he agrees.
Mayor Daly. He asked Council Member Tait if he was comfortable moving forward on the Police and
Fire aspects since they have all the detail cost information or would he like to withhold action on the
entire matter.
Council Member Tait. He would prefer to continue the entire item.
Mayor Daly. He feels they have adequate information to make a decision since it was a part of the
adopted budget package. In particular, they have adequate information to make a decision on the Fire
and Police upgrades. It is a clear compaction issue and due to the labor agreements approved by
previous City Councils as well as the current Council, it makes sense. However, he respects Council
Member Tait's desire for additional information.
A vote wes then taken on the motion by Council Member Tait for a two-week continuance. MOTION
CARRIED.

Mayor Daly. There were three persons who expressed some type of opposition at the Planning
Commission meeting. He asked if the opposition was focused on the request for a beer and wine license
or on other issues.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. He would say that was the primary objection, but some concern was
expressed about the convenience market aspects. He does not know if that was tied into the beer and
wine.
Mayor Daly. He asked the type of design proposed. He is curious as to what type of $ignage was
approved.
Joel Fick. In this instance, he would categorize the design as being more traditional. A 6' monument
sign was required. There was originally a submittal that addrossed other types of signage but that was
deleted. He cladfied there are three wall signs on the building and that planning staff is comfortable with
the amount of landscaping because it is an enhancement.

CEQA EXEMPTION SECTION 15061 (bi (3~:
City of Anaheim, Planning Department, 200 S. Anaheim, Blvd., Anaheim, CA 92805, requests
consideration of Code Amendment No. 96-08 to amend Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code pertaining to required setbacks and landscape requirements.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Recommended adoption of the ordinance to City Council.
ORDINANCE NO. 5671 INTRODUCTION amending Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
(Zoning) subsections .010 and .020 of section 18.41.063 of chapter 18.41, subsection .010 and
.020 of section 18.44.063 of chapter 18.44 and repealing subsection .010, .011 and .012 of
section 18.44.064 of chapter 18.44, pertaining to required setbacks and landscaping
requirements.
Council Member Feldhaus. Relative to north and south Harbor Blvd. where all the homes are residential
single family at present, in order to trigger this, he asked if someone would have to apply for a
Commemial or C-O zoned office building.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. That is the case. Anything that is an existing land use would remain in its
present state. This would previde an enhancement and be consistent with what the Planning
Commission and City Council have done throughout the City in terms of increasing and enhancing
landscaping standards on all streets where CL zoned or C-O zoned. Presently the code requires a 10'
landscape setback but it can be reduced to 3' if the balance is in parking. In almost all instances with an
item before the Planning Commission or City Council, there has been a requirement for at least 10' or
more landscaping adjacent to these important streets in the City. The code amendment would make it
10'.
Council Member Feldhaus. He does not see anything in the ordinance that says those in existence will
not be required to comply with this new ordinance.
Joel Fick. There are other previsions in the code that pertain to existing non-conforming uses. Any time
the code is changed that would de facto be grandfathered in under that requirement.
Mayor Daly offered Ordinance No. 5671 for firet reading.
