A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was posted at on March 24,
2000 at the City Hall Bulletin Board, (both inside and outside the entrance to City Hall) containing all items
as shown herein.
Mayor Pro Tern McCracken called workshop to order at 4:15 pm, (Mayor Daly entered shortly thereafter.)
City Manager James Ruth introduced the second workshop requested by the Council on the proposed
Charter amendments and he turned the presentation over to the City Attorney, Jack White.
PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS:
City Attorney White explained that the workshop had been continued from the March 21, 2000 workshop
to review the 1999/2000 Charter Review Committee recommendations. He noted the three areas for
discussion; Charter Section 1221, relating to the setting of utility rates; Section 703, relating to the powers
and duties of the City Attorney and the request for preparation of an amendment to prohibit the City
Council from hiring a special prosecutor and Section 10.200 through 10.203 pertaining to binding interest
arbitration for firefighters. He noted he had provided a memorandum dated March 22, 2000 on each of
the subjects with submittal material for their review.
He discussed Charter Section 1221, setting of rates for water and electric utilities. He said he had
provided the draft wording for the change being proposed entitled Revision No. 1, Attachment 12. He
noted it was revised slightly from what was recommended by the Charter Committee. After the
Committee completed its work, meetings among staff members indicated that it would not be necessary to
amend that section as significantly as had originally been proposed by staff, He explained that the
~anguage that was being recommended related to empowering the Council to determine utility rates. He
noted the setting of rates was currently done by cost of service and the proposed amendment would give
the Council greater flexibility in determining how rates are set by allowing market factors to be taken into
consideration in setting the rates, so that the utility could remain competitive with rates being charged by
other utilities.
Council Member Kring asked if it was the City's intent to always maintain a 15% lower rate.
Brian Thomas, Assistant General Manager Pubtic Utilities, responded he thought the intent was to always
keep the City's rates below Edison among all customer classes. Discussion occurred on the different
customer classes, direct access and rate structures~

Mayor Daly. He has recently talked to Tom Wood, Assistant City Manager about a project elsewhere in
the heart of the City closer to Harbor and North Street. He noticed that the contractor was not on the job
five days a week and that relative to the signage, hazard signs, etc., he cannot always ascertain the
intention of the contractor. He asked staff to submit their thoughts as to how some of the projects can be
made as neighborhood friendly as possible so that the signage used designating no parking and the
frequency of work can be dealt with so as to minimize inconvenience to the neighborhood. He also knows
that contractors are given a certain number of work days to complete a project but has also noted some
mysterious absences on the project he referred to. He asked the City Manager to bring the Council some
thoughts, ideas and recommendations as to how to make these projects as comprehendible to the
neighborhood as possible.

132: ORDINANCE NO. 5721 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
amending certain provisions of Chapter 10.10 of Title 10 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating
to solid waste collection and disposal. (Introduced at the meeting of March 21, 2000, Item A14.)
A12.
Authorize the City Manager or his designee to proceed with the Anaheim Resort Neighborhood
Improvement Program - Neighborhood Identification and Enhancement Project in the area
bordered by Ball Road, Anaheim Boulevard, and the I-5 Freeway, and to administer the project on
behalf of the City. (Continued from the meeting of March 21,2000, Item A20.)
City Manager Ruth. He requested John Spalding, Community Development, to give an overview of this
item.
Council Member McCracken. She has already spoken with Mr. Spalding relative to (1) neighborhood
identification and (2) replacement of street signs. She has some reservations about the design of street
s~gns and feels that they need to look at street sign design city wide, i.e., a program that is consistent
across the City and not just for a particular neighborhood.
John Spalding, Community Development. He first gave a (Power Point) slide presentation relative to the
subject program developed with City staff and neighborhood group participation. The area involved is
north of Guinida Lane, east of the 1-5 and south of Ball Road. He explained what transpired at the
6
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
MARCH 28, 2000
meetings and the end results, one being that "Palm Village" was chosen as _the name for the
neighborhood. The slides presented showed the proposed street signs, sign type and location, scale of
the signs, etc. He clarified for the Mayor that, as depicted, Palm Village (identifying the neighborhood) will
be added to the top of the street signs with a metal attachment. There will be five "gateway" signs at the
perimeters of the neighborhood, those being Palm, Claremont, Iris, Winston and Midway. He also clarified
that the gateway sign desing (8' cast aluminum with bronze lettering) is the one meant just for this
neighborhood, but it is possible that the sign could become a standard. It does identify clearly that it is the
City of Anaheim below the sign and then the actual name of the particular neighborhood.
Council Member McCracken. In some communities, monument signs have been installed to designate
the community. There are a number across the City who have done it through their Homeowner's
Association or voluntarily. She asked Mr. Spalding to explain for the public why it was not done in this
community.
John Spalding. It has to do with the fact that there is limited space between the sidewalk and the curb.
Many signs around the City were developed by developers and designating certain areas within their
private property. They did not have that luxury in this neighborhood.
Council Member McCracken. She asked that the two issues be separated. She believes it is positive for
the neighborhood to have some identification and is supportive but feels there needs to be more work
done on the street signs. The City needs new readable street signs. As well, none of the street signs in
Anaheim identify the City of Anaheim whereas other cities do include the city name. She has concerns
with identifying communities on the signs such as Palm Village since someone could think it was another
town or City (other than Anaheim). She would like the street signage to say Anaheim across the top. She
would also like staff to address the issue of new street signs for the entire City that can be replaced as
signs are replaced across the City. The signs are not big enough to be able to read at a distance and they
do not identify the City. She reiterated, she has no objection to the proposal if they separate the two
issues.
MOTION. Council Member McCracken moved approval of the subject neighborhood identification signs
and that the street signs be referred back to City staff to implement a City-wide program for street signs.
Council Member Kring seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Council Member Kring asked for confirmation if they have not already approved
money in the past few months to start building new street signage. She knows that at Euclid and Katella
they are broken and the signs are not readable, the larger intersection signs; Mayor Daly stated that was a
separate subject and separate budget.
Mayor Daly then clarified that the proposed action means that the gateway signage will go forward but the
replacement of the individual local neighborhood street signs will be put on hold until staff brings a
recommendation forward that coordinates the change on a City-wide basis. The Council would like to see
options, costs and ideas in terms of phasing; Council Member McCracken stated she doesn't have any
reluctance if they decide on one replacement sign City-wide, perhaps starting in this neighborhood.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Council Member Feldhaus was absent. MOTION
CARRIED.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
MARCH 28, 2000
A23. 121: CONTINUED CONDEMNATION HEARING - STATE COLLEGE BOULEVARD/SR-91
FREEWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AREA: To consider the adoption of a resolution finding and
determining the public interest and necessity to require condemnation of certain real property located in
the State College Boulevard/SR-91 Freeway improvement project area and authorizing legal counsel for
the City to proceed with said condemnation action. (Continued from the meeting of March 7, 2000 to this
date, Item A26c.)
See letters from Natalie Meeks, Development Services Manager/Public Works dated January 10 and
January 21, 2000 sent to the property owner, John E. Biard and Carol D. Biard, Trustees, the first letter,
an Offer of Acquisition of the subject property and the latter, Notice of Intention to Adopt a Resolution of
Necessity for Acquisition of the Property - previously made a part of the record.
Mayor Daly. This is the time for the hearing on the proposed acquisition by eminent domain of property
located at 1419 and 1423 North State College Boulevard in connection with the State College
Boulevard/SR91 Freeway Improvement Project. The property interests proposed to be acquired are
legally described in the resolution attached to the staff report dated March 20, 2000. He asked for a staff
presentation.
Natalie Meeks, Development Services Manager/Public Works. The proposed improvements will
coordinate with the interchange improvements implemented by Caltrans and are necessary to provide
proper traffic movement along State College. They have been designed to join the Caltrans
improvements, provide adequate traffic capacity, and minimize the impact of the required acquisitions. An
acquisition offer has been made and the City's acquisitions consultant has been in negotiations with the
property owner. To this date, however, the City has been unable to obtain an acquisition agreement for
the parcel. She has reviewed the project with Russ Maguire, Deputy City Engineer who is overseeing the
design and coordinating with Caltrans and has provided him with all of the documents submitted by Mr.
Farano, the property owner's attorney. Staff has found that there is no feasible alternative that would
reduce the acquisition area. She sent a letter to Mr. Farano dated March 15, 2000 which responded to
suggested design modifications which she thereupon submitted. (See letter dated March 15, 2000 to Mr.
Farano - made a part of the record.) Staff can continue to work with the property to mitigate the impacts
and are currently having the consultant design alternate configurations for review by the property owner.
Today, staff is recommending moving forward with the Resolution of Necessity in order to commence with
the project this summer. Any delay will extend the time this interchange will remain incomplete and it will
continue to impact all the properties at this location.
Mayor Daly then opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone was present wishing to testify on this
matter; from the audience, two people raised their hands.
Mayor Daly continued, in conducting the hearing, they will take testimony from the owner of record or a
designated representative of the property with testimony limited to the following issues only: (1) Whether
the public interest and necessity require the project, (2) whether the project is planned and located in a
manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury, (3) whether the
property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project, (4) whether the offer required by Government
Code Section 7267.2 has been made to the owner or owners of record, (5) whether the City has met all
other prerequisites to the exercise of eminent domain in connection with the property. He then invited the
owner or representative for the property to address the Council.
Jeff Farano, Attorney at Law, Farano & Kieviet, 2300 E. Katella Ave., Ste. 235, Anaheim. He is present on
behalf of the Biard Family Trust, the owner of the property in question. He then briefed portions of his
three-page letter, with attachments, dated March 27, 2000 opposing the adoption of the proposed
Resolution of Necessity (letter previously made a part of the record). The letter described the existing
ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
MARCH 28, 2000
business/property, the widening project, the impact to the business, the City's offer and mitigations
proposed, widening alternatives, and parking/circulation alternatives. The main objection is, while only
nine to eleven feet is being taken along State College, the loss will effectively prevent the property from
being used for its current use and possibly any future use. The Biard's believe that there are other options
to widen State College while at the same time easing the public injury that is resulting to their property.
They have discussed those alternatives with staff but have come to no resolution. They believe the City is
not fully recognizing the impact the take is going to have on the property owner and the possible
alternatives have not been pursued. He thereupon submitted diagrams prepared for the purpose of
demonstrating the points he is making tonight. (See five diagrams prepared by WPA Traffic Engineering,
Inc. along with a diagram of the City's proposed parking lot configuration and an engineering drawing
showing the details/specifications of the street segment involved and the configuration of the off-ramp -
made a part of the record).
The following were the main concerns broached by Mr. Farano: There are 29 parking spaces on the site.
As a result of the take, the business will be losing nine parking stalls along State College. Customer
parking spaces are in the front of the building. Staff has recommended a solution that would retain seven
spaces by reconfiguring the spaces, a solution which is not feasible. He explained why. Another
recommendation to make the rear warehouse entrance into a customer entrance also is not feasible
because the rear warehouse door is used primarily as a service entrance for delivery of inventory. The
City cannot make the finding that the project will be most compatible with the greatest public good and
least private injury. They believe there are other alternatives that would accomplish what the City needs
while at the same time not taking the property. He then explained, in answer to Council Member Kring,
relative to alternatives to the taking, he believes there could be adjustments made in the widening of the
street where the City could come up with at least 10 more feet thus eliminating the need for the take. He
does not believe sufficient efforts have been made in talking to Caltrans to make these modifications.
Mr. Wes Pringle, WPA Traffic Engineering, Inc., Laguna Hills. They prepared the drawings submitted that
indicate the turning moves and the radius of the vehicles. He is present to answer any questions.
Mayor Daly asked staff to respond; Natalie Meeks. The appraisal that was done by the City did conclude
that the diagonal parking spaces would work for the customers. The 11' lane around the building would
require relocation of the air conditioning unit and modification of the front door, but the lane was adequate
for passenger vehicles. The delivery trucks do not utilize the parking spaces at this time, they did not
analyze that for truck traffic and the trucks go to the back of the building directly. The property owner may
want to look at other alternatives. Staff has talked to the owner about potentially relocating the entrances
of the buildings to the back side. There is room in the back and the area is presently used as a staging
area for some of the plumbing supplies. It would not need to be modified. There is also an alternative of
keeping the plumbing entrances at the front of the store and relocating the carpet entrance to the back so
that the customer parking is separate. These are all alternatives that the consultant is in the process of
designing and will have available next week. The appraisal has provided an adequate solution. If the
owner wants something different, staff is willing to work with him on that.
Relative to the issues regarding lane widths and median widths, the project has been under discussion
and coordination with Caltrans for a number of years and staff worked with them in the past to try to
minimize the take. The lane width at the curb is narrower than what their standard is and they will not go
any narrower. What they wanted was a 14' lane width. The parkway is 9' instead of 10'. A Fact Sheet
was submitted to Caltrans to get the modification to reduce the parkway width.
Mayor Daly asked if she saw any opportunities for a smaller take; Ms. Meeks answered no and briefed the
reasons why.
Mayor Daly closed the Public Hearing.
Council Member Tait posed a line of questions, answered by Ms. Meeks, during which she confirmed that
the only issue to be decided tonight was the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity, that as far as loss in
10
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CiTY COUNCIL MINUTES,
MARCH 28, 2000
value of the property, that is a decision to be made at a future date, and that there is an absolute need for
the improvement.
Council Member Kring. It seems to her the business would be losing a great deal of good will and also
business if the take goes forward. Although the Public Hearing was continued three weeks, it does not
seem that much resolution has come to pass.
Natalie Meeks. She asked the property owner to submit alternatives the City could look at but they have
indicated they would prefer that the City's consultant(s) come up with alternatives which they could review.
Staff is struggling to come up with something that they think will work for the owner; Jeff Farano. The 91
Freeway widening has been taking place for several years. Construction has been very substantial in front
of the property and there has been a loss of business because of that construction. They do not feel they
should have to hire consultants when the property is being taken by the City. If the City can provide
alternatives that will satisfy them, they will gladly consider those. The alternatives proposed thus far do
not make any sense. He asked that they either fix what they have now or relocate the business to another
place so that he can continue his business.
Council Member Kring asked if the City is willing to do a full take instead of a partial one; Ms. Meeks
answered, at this point, they do not feel a full take is necessary and there is enough property to recover
parking. She does not believe that the parking cannot be reconfigured with modification to the building. A
full take is extreme and is not feasible at this time.
David Cosgrove, Special Counsel (for the City), Rutan and Tucker. They cannot responsibly at this point
recommend a full take. The architect has indicated with certain reconfigurations, vehicular access can be
maintained. There is a minor loss in parking but there is nothing at this time that would justify
recommending to the Council taking on those additional funds particularly when it would entail a claim for
business good will as well as real property.
Further discussion and questioning followed wherein staff and Mr. Cosgrove gave additional input for
purposes of clarification. At the conclusion, Council Member Kring asked, if the take did not take place,
what are the options.
Natalie Meeks answered they could then not go forward with the project and the parcel is right next to the
freeway on-ramp. Staff would have to take direction from Council as to whether they want to move
forward with the project or leave the interchange incomplete.
Mayor Daly. The project needs to go forward. He thereupon offered a resolution for adoption determining
the public interest and necessity for acquisition of a portion of certain real property located at 1419 and
1423 North State College Boulevard for the purposes of conducting roadway improvement (R/W 5175-6A
and 6B).
Before action was taken, the City Attorney explained since only four Council Members are present, the
resolution will require a unanimous vote for adoption. He also explained for the Mayor if not four votes, it
is possible to continue the decision.
A vote was then taken on the proposed resolution. Ayes: Tait, McCracken, Daly. No: Kring. Absent:
Feldhaus.
The resolution failed to carry since, in this case, four affirmative votes are required.
City Attorney White. According to Councii Rule 3d, Paragraph 1, since the resolution received more aye
votes than no votes but not a sufficient number for adoption this evening, and since one member of the
Council is absent who could have voted on the item, by Council rule, this matter is automatically continued
to the next Council meeting (April 11,2000) for a decision.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
MARCH 28, 2000
Mayor Daly asked if the Public Hearing portion is continued as well; City Attorney White. The Public
Hearing was closed so there will be no further testimony unless the Council opens the hearing and keeps
it open. Since they have not done so, there will be no further testimony.
Mayor Daly. A decision on the item is continued to the next regular meeting as a result of the insufficiency
of the four-vote requirement.

Mayor Daly. He wanted to clarify the Planning Commission action - whether it was consistent with staff
recommendation or different; Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager. Staff had a concern with a couple
of the waivers but found justification at the meeting. A parking study was prepared for the project.
Mayor Daly. He was contacted just before the meeting by some of the neighbors. He does not know what
all of the questions and issues are. He agrees with Council Member McOracken.
Council Member McCracken requested a review of the Planning Commission's decision on CUP 4178

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
MARCH 2000
Mayor Daly. Two letters have been received, one from the developer, and the other from an adjacent
property owner, each asking for a continuance. (See letters dated March 28, 2000, one from Dennis
Flynn, Dennis Flynn Architect and the other from Transamerica Senior Living - made a part of the record).
Mayor Daly continued and stated he is going to suggest a two-week continuance as requested by Dennis
Flynn, Architect for the project. He asked if anyone was present who had a problem with a two-week
continuance.
Mike Olsen, representing Gateway, 1303 Euclid, Anaheim. He does not have a problem but he does have
some issues he would like to express. If it is more appropriate to do so in two weeks rather than this
evening, that would be acceptable to him.
City Attorney White. He indicated the more appropriate time would be in two weeks if the Public Hearing
is continued to that time.
Mayor Daly suggested, if there was anything he (Olsen) could submit in writing prior to the hearing, that
will help the Council to know what the issues are.
James Karsh, Administrator of Emerald Court, senior facility adjacent to the subject property. Their
original intent had been to request a continuance. They have just learned that there is a request from the
dealership for a two-week continuance. Emerald Court is in support of the continuance and he will be
back on April 11.
MOTION. Mayor Daly moved to continue the Public Hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 4177 for two
weeks. Council Member McCracken seconded the motion. Council Member Feldhaus was absent.
MOTION CARRIED.
Report on Closed Session Actions:
City Attorney Jack White stated that there are no actions to report.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS:
The Mayor and Council Members commented relative to Council Member Feldhaus: Council Member
Tait. He wished his colleague a speedy recovery and looks forward to seeing him at the next meeting;
Mayor Pro Tern McOracken echoed the same sentiments; Council Member Kring extended prayers and
best wishes to Frank and his family; Mayor Daly. He can't remember Frank ever missing a meeting. He
wished him well and hopefully expects to see him at the next meeting.
Council Member McCracken: She reminded the community that they are in the midst of Census 2000
emphasizing it is vitally important that each and every person register in the Census and to encourage
neighbors and friends to do so as well. It means a great deal to Anaheim as far as funding for major
projects, for transportation, housing, improvements of roads and streets, public facilities, etc. She urged
that the forms be filled out and returned this week.
Mayor Daly: This is a follow up to the Redevelopment liaison meeting held today which he and Council
Member McCracken attended. He wants to underscore his interest in two items in particular and ask the
City Manager to report back when he has any news. The first is the future or the current status and future
possibilities for the Kwikset property in downtown. The company vacated the site and is selling it. He
