106~ PUBLIC HEARING - BUD~ET~
To consider the proposed 1995/96 Budget Plan.
FISCAL YEAR 1995/96 DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET WORKSHOP:
City Manager, James Ruth. This is a continued public hearing to review and adopt
the City's 1995/96 Budget pursuant to City Charter Section 1201, 1203 and 1204.
The City Council has been provided the proposed budget document and supporting
documents and information which has been available since May 9, 1995 for public
inspection. Following today's presentations and public input, the hearing will
be continued to the 5:00 P.M. portion of the Council Meeting for any additional
input and subsequent adoption.
As is typical each year, the proposed budget requires modifications due to
information not available at the time of the original printing. Before the
Council is a list of modifications (see - Modifications to the Proposed FY1995/96
Budget dated June 20, 1995 listing four items - made a part of the record). He
briefed each of the four items listed in the modification sheet which concluded
that "these modifications will increase the FY1995/96 General Fund Proposed
Budget by $56,520 (from $132,670,013 to $132,726,533), and will increase the
FY1995/96 Total City Proposed Budget by $3,104,159 (from $573,416,362 to
$576,520,521)".
After answering questions posed by the Mayor and Council Member Tait for purposes
of clarification on the modifications, Mr. Ruth introduced Police Chief Randall
Gaston to present the Police Department's budget.
The following department heads then gave an overview of their department's
proposed budget which included an explanation of what their departments had
accomplished and the services provided in the past year, their goals and
projections for the coming year, changes and future outlook~ (Staff answered any
questions that were posed by Council Members during or at the completion of
presentations).
Randall Gaston, Chief of Police - Police Department (see pages 60-63 of the
Budget document). The presentation was supplemented by slides, hard copies of
which were submitted to the Council in a booklet entitled - Anaheim Police Budget
- 125 Years of Service - 1870-1995 - 1995-96 Budget - made a part of the record.
He first noted that the Police Department budget is .7% below the current
operating budget and at the same funding level contained in the FY1994/95 budget.
He then provided an overview of trends and major issues for the next fiscal year.
CITY OF ~N~HEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
His narrative was also provided in the booklet which briefed each of the slides
presented covering such issues as Calls for Service, Part I Crime Statistics,
Funding Concerns, etc.
Chief Gaston then answered a number of questions posed by the Mayor and Council
Members relating to Part I crimes and the criteria used in the classification of
such crimes, violent crimes, possible income opportunities, the Police Reserve
Program, calls for service, and the ideal ratio of sworn officers to population.
Relative to the latter, Chief Gaston reported that before the department received
the recent enhancement of 31 additional officers, the ratio was 1.22 per 1,000
population and now it is at 1.28 per 1,000. If the intent is to add 50 new
officers total, it will bring the ratio up to the 1.3 range which is typical of
West Coast Police Departments. The result would be continued improvement of
response times and afford more proactive time particularly in patrol.
Jeff Bowman, Fire Chief - Fire Depa~ment - (see pages 46-47 of the Budget
document). Chief Bowman first recapped the successes in the 1994-95 FY, most
notably, assumption of the Dispatch and Communications responsibility (from the
City of Orange) and setup of the center on the third floor of City Hall West.
Communications, Fire Administration, and Fire Prevention also moved to CHW
bringing all of Fire Management together again which was a long-time goal of the
department. During his presentation (which was supplemented by slides), Chief
Bowman noted that the City assisted in the Oklahoma City disaster which occurred
as a result of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on
April 19, 1995 by sending a Battalion Chief who headed up part of the rescue
operations. Amongst the challenges for the department is the relocation of Fire
Station No. 3 and the replacement of Fire Stations 4, 5 and 6. He also commented
on the wildland fire threat in the hill and canyon area due to the heavy rains
of '94-95 which produced an abundance of "fuel".
Council questions revolved around retrofitting of Fire Stations to accommodate
female personnel, moving Fire Station 3 to a new location instead of demolition
and the fact that Fire Stations 4, 5 and 6 cannot accommodate the department's
modern fire apparatus.
City Attorney, Jack White. It would be in order at this point to adjourn the
Meeting and subsequently to convene the regular meeting of June 20, 1995.
ADJOURNMENTs By general Council consent, the adjourned regular meeting of
June 13, 1995, held June 20, 1995, was adjourned. (3=35 p.m.)

A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was
posted at 2:10 p.m. on June 16, 1995 at the Civic Center kiosk, containing all
items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the regular meeting to order at 3:35 p.m., all Council
Members being present.
The meeting opened with the continuation of the Departmental Budget Workshop;
City Manager Ruth introduced each of the presentations.
The following Department heads then gave an overview of their department's
proposed budget which included an explanation of what their departments had
accomplished and the services provided in the past year, their goals and
projections for the coming year, changes and future outlook: (Staff answered
any questions that were posed by Council Members during or at the completion
of presentations.)
Greg Smith, Stadium and Convention Center ~eneral Manager - Anaheim Stadium
and Convention Center - (see pages 72-75 of the Budget document). At the
outset of his presentation, he recounted the adversities experienced in the
past year - the Northridge earthquake which caused major damage to the Stadium
and scoreboard, the baseball strike, a poor season both in attendance and
performance for the Los Angeles Rams who subsequently announced their move to
St. Louis, and the late start of the new baseball season. In spite of those
major setbacks, there was not one single negative impact on the General Fund.
The Stadium's FY95-96 budget of $21,414,311 represents a $106,000 reduction
from last year. The Stadium continues to operate with no General Fund
subsidy. Eight full-time positions have been eliminated (1 management, 3
clerical and 4 maintenance).
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
The Convention Center budget represents a decrease of $1,525,343 or 4.3% with
a reduction of four full-time management positions eliminated as a result of
the consolidation of the Stadium and Convention Center. This resulted in a
net cost savings of $350,000 for the coming fiscal year and $500,000 in future
years. Strong bookings for the Convention Center in FY95-96 indicate the
facility is near full capacity. The proposed marketing effort will result in
increased utilization of the Convention Center, particularly for public shows
in the 9,000 seat Convention Center Arena. The full report from the
consultants on what expansions or improvements should be made will be
presented to the Council with staff recommendations in the near future.
Before concluding his presentation, Mr. Smith briefed the major issues and the
positives regarding the operation. Questions posed by Council Members at the
conclusion of the presentation revolved around increased non-convention use of
the Convention Center Arena as well as increased use of the Stadium for
outdoor concerts.
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services - Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department (including Golf). See pages 52-
55 of the Budget document. Parks and Golf Division, Recreation and Community
Services, Neighborhood Services Division (formerly Anti-Gang/Drug Prevention
in City Manager's Office). Mr. Jarvi's presentation was supplemented by
slides.
The department assumed oversight of the Neighborhood Services Division and the
CDBG Neighborhood Council participation process. He then highlighted the
accomplishments of the past year generally and then specifically in each of
the divisions and reported on selected objectives/initiatives for the coming
year. The department will be operating with 119 full time positions which is
down from 174 in 1990-91. There was a decrease of six park maintenance
workers but an increase of two people in Administration as a result of
acquiring Neighborhood Services, for a net loss of four positions. The
cumulative impact of reductions over the last five years resulted in a
reduction in the General Fund draw by approximately $2 million. The reduction
in personnel is 55 full-time employees and the equivalent of 39 full-time
employees in part-time hours. There have been definite decreases in park
maintenance quality which will continue over time but the department is trying
to do the best possible with limited resources.
Following the presentation, discussion and questioning revolved around the
status of the Parks Master Plan, tree trimming, the Releaf Program, Golf
Course operations and Park programs. Mayor Daly asked that the City Manager
work with Mr. Jarvi to schedule a workshop on the Parks Master Plan. He sees
a need to add more park land in some parts of the City, particularly in West
Anaheim, possibly focusing on smaller parks in certain cases; Council Member
Feldhaus suggested when the workshop is scheduled, that staff look at
initiatives on how to generate revenues to support park programs.
Bill Griffith, Library Director - Library Department - (see pages 50-51 of the
Budget document). He briefed the Library Department budget noting the
$190,000 reduction in the book budget. The department is looking forward to
the prospect of reopening libraries on Mondays in the new fiscal year and are
scheduled to do so starting July 10. He then deferred to the Chairman of the
Library Board who requested to speak relative to the Library budget.
Glenda Flora, Chairman, Anaheim Public Library Board. She read from and
submitted her letter dated June 20, 1995 (made a part of the record) which was
accompanied by a graph entitled, Book Budget, General Fund Contribution
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
Covering 1990/91 through 1995/96 showing a dramatic decrease in the annual
book budget allocation from a high of $567,620 (90-91) to the proposed
$241,726 allocation for 1995/96. "While we have tried very hard to maintain
the expected services, the current budget, and especially the book budget,
will weaken the Anaheim Public Library to a level that we may never be able to
fully recover." She noted that the minimum standards for book-to-people ratio
is two books per capita. Anaheim is approximately 150,000 books below the
minimum standard.
Mayor Daly then posed questions relative to the current Library budget (FY94-
95) which were answered by both Mr. Griffith and Bill Sweeney, Budget and
Audit Manager. Mr. Sweeney confirmed that the estimated dollars spent on
books in the FY ending June 30, 1995 will be approximately $500,000 and the
amount proposed in 1995/96 is approximately one half or $241,000 plus whatever
the Library receives in grant monies.
Marge Rothrock, Library Board Member also spoke in support of increased
funding for the book budget.
After further discussion and questions, Mayor Daly asked that a quarterly
report be submitted to the Council on the status of the book budget and any
other contributing factors. He asked for a confirmation in writing that the
City Manager's Direction is to treat the book budget as it has been treated in
years past in terms of the quota of book purchases and describe his
recommendation so that the Council can revisit the issue with reports every
quarter. He would also like to know where Anaheim stands in the larger
community, i.e., a comparison of how much Anaheim is spending on new books in
relation to other communities, etc.
Council Member Tait asked Mr. Griffith what an adequate book budget would be
in his mind; Mr. Griffith answered $800,000 and it would take about $2 million
to close the gap.
PUBLIC INPUT:
June Lowry, Community Services Board. She was to have made a presentation as
part of the Parks and Recreation budget concerning the Community Services
allocation.
Mayor Daly. He expressed concern that the matter is being broached at this
time since he did not believe the Community Services allocation was on today's
agenda. He also referred to a three-page letter from the Community Services
Board (CSB) regarding the reduction in the allocation. There was no mention
of that in any of the documents received and the Council is supposed to adopt
the budget today.
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services. He
confirmed for the Mayor that the letter came from the CSB and not staff,
although staff helped the Board to put their language down on paper. The
Board is concerned about the amount recommended by Staff to be allocated to
the Community Services Agencies. He knew that Mrs. Lowry wished to speak and
assumed she would have an opportunity to do so at the conclusion of
presentations.
Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He had four questions relative to the
budget presentations, two involving the Police Budget .regarding crime
statistics and helicopter flight time and in Fire, asked if a grazing program
had been considered to cut down'on the large amount of fuel (growth) that has
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
occurred in the hills. He also asked if there was time left on the Rams
training camp lease at the school site that could be utilized for other
activities.
MOTION. Mayor Daly moved to recess the Public Hearing on the 1995/96 Budget
to 5:00 p.m. Council Member Feldhaus seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

under Item A4.
(See discussion
A4.
169: To consider the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Griffith
Company, in the amount of $5,374,143.85 for Anaheim Boulevard/Ball
Road to Cerritos Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard/Ball Road
Intersection Improvements; and in the event said low bidder fails
to comply with the terms of the award, awarding the contract to the
second low bidder, as well as waiving any irregularities in the
bids of both the low and second low bidders.
Chris Larson, Pouk & Steinle, Inc., 2520 Rubidoux Blvd., Riverside, CA 92509.
On June 8, 1995, he submitted a bid proposal for the Anaheim Boulevard Project
in the amount of $5,230,116.17. Their competitor's bid was $5,409,513.85 or a
$206,997.68 difference. His company was the apparent successful bidder.
Later they were informed of a mistake he had made. In the City's instructions
to bidders, it clearly states all proposals shall give prices both in writing
and in figures. On Bid Item 166, the unit price is $7.02 but he had
mistakenly written in Seven Hundred and Two. However, the extended amount of
$31,519.80 was correct. It was simply a clerical error and further, as he
understands, Item 166 is to be deleted in any case. He was later informed
that the City intended to award the bid to Griffith Company which to him made
no sense considering that the City would be spending an extra $200,000. He
investigated the matter and obtained a copy of the competitor's bid and found
many mistakes. Many areas were left blank which is in clear violation. The
City's specifications also state, "Until an award is made, the right will be
reserved to reject any or all bids, and to waive technical errors or
discrepancies, if to do so is deemed to best serve the interest of the City."
He feels saving $207,000 would be in the City's best interest. (Also see
letter dated June 16, 1995 from Bob Briscoe, Pouk & Steinle, and letter of
June 16, 1995 from Best, Best & Krieger, Attorneys for Pouk & Steinle along
with attached documentation - made a part of the record.)
Bob Briscoe, Executive Vice President/General Manager, Pouk & Steinle. He
urged the Council to consider tabling this matter until the Council has time
to investigate further. Tabling it to the next meeting would be in the best
interest of the City.
Jim Hagge, Pouk & Steinle, 1801 E. Willow, Anaheim. Me grew up in Anaheim and
is a resident of the City. There have been budget cuts and people's jobs have
been eliminated. This would be a senseless spending of $200,000. An honest
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
mistake was made. He urged the Council to take the time to look into the
matter.
Gary Johnson, Director of Public Works and City Engineer. Answering the Mayor
relative to time constraints on award of the bid, notwithstanding the legal
issues, there are two grants which will be jeopardized if the contract is not
awarded by June 30, 1995. It could be continued one week to June 27, 1995.
He is not certain on his part if they will have any additional information
between now and next week that they do not have currently. The three
gentlemen who spoke did not provide any new information. There can be no
extension by the State on the largest of the two grants because it is a part
of State legislation. The other involves Federal Grant funds. This project
needs to be coordinated with the ones already approved on Ball Road and on
Item A3 on tonight's agenda, one of the conditions of the Disneyland
Administration Building requires the improvements to be made. That agreement
is tied to A4. The State grant totals $120,000 and the Federal funding
slightly over $40,000.
City Attorney White. Staff has received a great deal of the information from
Pouk & Steinle which was referred to his office last week. The law in this
case is extremely clear. He then briefed the Council on existing case law
involving circumstances almost identical to the situation at hand (Posner vs.
Department of Transportation - 1983). It was held that when a procedure is
established by a public agency on how bids are to be interpreted including
discrepancies, that the public agency is legally obligated and can be mandated
by any bidder to follow those procedures regardless of whether the bidder made
an error and would have been the low bidder. The law provides if the error
relates to the amount of the bid, it is not one that is waiverable. Some are
waiverable. In this case, the error by Pouk & Steinle relates to the amount
of the bid. It is not one that can be waived without putting the City in
jeopardy to the other bidder on the project. The other bidder made similar
errors and the City applied exactly the same rule to both and interpreted both
bids in the same way with the words prevailing over the numbers where there is
a discrepancy. The Pouk & Steinle error substantially increased the way their
bid was interpreted. In the Griffith Company bid, the amount was decreased to
less than what they intended to bid. If the bid is to be awarded, the staff
recommendation is appropriate. He does not believe there is anything that
will change in the law between now and next week.
Further discussion and questioning followed with additional input by Mr.
Larson at the conclusion of which, Council Member Lopez stated he would like
the matter continued for one week to give an opportunity to analyze the
situation further.
Council Member Feldhaus. He disagrees with the City Attorney in this case.
It is clear to him that the written Seven Hundred and Two right next to $7.02
did not equal the extension of $31,519.80 which is a correct figure. It will
save $207,000 of taxpayer's dollars and that is what he would like to do.
MOTION. Mayor Daly moved to continue this item for one week. Council Member
Zemel seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

like the opportunity to sit down with the Treasurer, if not at a workshop,
then at least to talk with the Treasurer to go over the new policy.

Mayor Daly. 'He asked if the overall dollar impact has been calculated for
this item.
8
C~TY OF ~%Ni~IE~H~ C~L~FORN~ - COUNCIL ~NUTES - ~une 20~ ~995
David Hill, Human Resources Director. The costs for each of the new
classifications, reclassifications and organizational changes have been
explained and included in each operating unit's budget. The total costs are
not collected into his staff report since they are already included in the
operating programs throughout the budget.
Mayor Daly. He notes that one of the adjustments is for a new salary range
for an existing position. The other changes are creating a new classification
and deleting a current classification. He asked how many of those involve
increases for what amounts to be the same position.
David Hill. In his professional opinion, none of them do but an example of
one that is close to the current level is the deletion of the Convention
Center General Manager, Stadium General Manager and the creation of Stadium
and Convention Center General manager which, from a personnel professional's
point of view, is a new job.
Mayor Daly. There is no longer to be a Stadium Operations Manager but now
something called a Stadium Manager. There will be a Stadium and Convention
Center General Manager and also a Stadium Manager.
David Hill answered that was correct. The title change is recommended in
order to more accurately reflect the titles used in those industries. The
management at those facilities has advised these titles are more appropriate
than the existing ones.
Mayor Daly. Relative to the dollar impacts, he has a feeling there is a net
savings to the City budget but wants to make sure they understand where the
increases are.
David Hill. This report is submitted each year in conjunction with the
adoption of the budget. If the Council would like to have a more detailed
summary, that would have to be developed and provided next week.
City Manager Ruth. He explained rather than coming to the Council throughout
the year with changes in classifications, the report is submitted at this time
each year. A lot of the positions reflect the City's downsizing. Department
heads are held accountable for the ultimate budget projection and subsequently
they have to live within that number. There have been some upgrades but also
corresponding downgrades, particularly in Utilities. If the Council approves
these changes, that is what is in the budget and what the appropriations are.
Council Member Tait. He feels uncomfortable voting on this item without
noting what the overall budget effect is. If possible, he would like to
continue this one week but still approve the budget.
City Manager Ruth. Staff will provide the information department by
department, give a net, and bring it back next week.
By general Council consent, this item was continued one week.

meeting of June 13, 1995 held' June 20, 1995 at 2:00 p.m.). It is again time

10
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
City Manager Ruth. Staff is withdrawing Item A16.E at this time and no action
is to be taken by the Council on that item.
Mrs. June Lowry, earlier in the meeting under Public Comments-Agenda Items,
gave the following input relative to the budget.
Mrs. June Lowry, Chairman of the Subcommittee for the Community Services Board
(CSB) on funding. The Board works as advisory to the City but also as a voice
of the people of Anaheim on the needs of Community Service Public Agencies
(CSA). She is before the Council this year as last because the CSA funding
was cut in the budget. They came before the Council as a body last year and
asked that the budget be increased which the Council did. This year, the
Board is again asking the budget amount from the General Fund be increased to
$200,000, an increase of $71,191 from the $128,809 amount proposed in the
FY95/96 budget. (Also see 3-page letter of June 12, 1995 to the Mayor and
Council Members from Ramon Daniel, CS8 outlining the request for additional
funds in depth.) With funding cuts at the County level, the needs of Anaheim
have greatly increased. Many people are no longer donating to private
agencies. Agencies are saying that they can only keep their doors open three
or four months and will have to close at the end of that time. The agencies
asking for an increase are Anaheim-based agencies that serve Anaheim
residents. The Board believes that $200,000 will meet the critical needs
cited in the Consolidated Plan that was compiled. If the Council grants the
$200,000, that would go into the general budget and subsequently the CSB would
come back in July with specific allotments for specific organizations. She
confirmed for the Mayor that some allocations have been made based on the
$200,000 allocation and not the $128,809.
Mayor Daly. He suggested it would be helpful if the Council could see the
allocations that have been made prior to making a decision on the $200,000.
City Manager Ruth. He recommended that the Council approve the budget as
proposed which can always be amended. The Council does need more detail. At
the time, if the Council desires and determines there is a need for additional
funding, staff will come back with funding recommendations. The cuts are
consistent with the cuts made throughout the City. He does not feel they
should change the budget tonight.
Mayor Daly. He asked the City Manager to bring the entire package back to the
Council along with recommendations.
Mayor Daly asked to hear from anyone who wished to speak on the Budget at this
time. No one came forward to speak.
Mayor Daly noted that Mr. Jeff Kirsch posed several questions on the budget in
the afternoon Public Hearing; Mr. Kirsch was not present at this time.
City Manager Ruth. The questions posed were relative to the Police and Fire
Departments. He will have staff contact Mr. Kirsch directly.
Mayor Daly closed the final Public Hearing on the City's 1995/1996 Budget.
Joel Fick, Planning Director then clarified for the Mayor that there were no
building fees included in the list of resolutions because those fees have not
been increased. Building fees will be reviewed at the time the updated
Uniform Building Code is presented and discussed with the Council.
11
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
City Manager Ruth. During the budget hearings, he discussed modifications
that had been made to the proposed FY1995/96 Budget and as outlined in the
summary document submitted to the Council in the earlier hearing today. The
Council's action on the budget will take into consideration those
modifications.

(Council Member Tait abstained on Resolution No. 95R-100 because he lives in

The Mayor declared Resolution Nos. 95R-98 through 95R-114 duly passed and
adopted.
MOTION - ADOPTION OF THE 1995/96 CITY BUDGET. Mayor Daly moved to adopt the
1995/96 City Budget as submitted including the modifications submitted by the
City Manager under document entitled, Modifications to the Proposed FY1995/96
Budget - 6/20/95. Council Member Zemel seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Mayor Daly thanked the City's departmental
leadership, the Executive Management team and particularly City Manager Ruth
for bringing in a balanced budget that reflects the priorities of the
community -- increased spending in some crucial law enforcement areas, and the
addition of nine Police Officers to bring the total of sworn officers closer
to the 400 figure. Also, despite recessionary times, there has been a
13
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
dramatic amount of Public Works spending, beautification programs, the move to
create additional parks, and dynamic projects in Redevelopment creating new
amenities for the City.
Council Member Zemel. He noted that the budget was balanced with no new
taxes.
Council Member Tait commended staff on presenting the budget in a very
professional manner. He knows it represents many hours of time and effort;
Council Member Zemel seconded the comments of Council Member Tait.
A vote was then taken on the adoption of the 1995/96 City Budget. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Before concluding, Mayor Daly stated he is very concerned about the Library
budget and at the earlier Public Hearing, asked the City Manager to report to
the Council on a quarterly basis as to the spend out of allocated funds for
the Library with special focus on the book budget. That budget has been
decreased over the last few years. It has been augmented by State grants and
those grants are anticipated this year as well. There will also be a special
Council workshop in August on the City's Master Plan of Parks where there will
be a discussion of potential ways of creating additional parks and open space.
A17. 114: Appointing a Representative for Anaheim to District 9, Orange
County Water District Board of Directors, to the unexpired term
ending November 29, 1996. (Continued from the meeting of
June 6, 1995, Item A34.)
Mayor Daly asked the Council if they were prepared to discuss this appointment
this evening.
Council Member Lopez stated he was not. He asked the City Clerk if she
received an application from Paul Lem. Mr. Lem hand carried it to him (Lopez)
but he told him to submit it to the City Clerk.
City Clerk Sohl. She has received only two applications and has previously
forwarded them to the Council. She has not received an application from
Mr. Lem in her office.
MOTION. Council Member Tait moved to continue the subject appointment for one
week. Mayor Daly seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

highway (DENIED), and (C) landscape requirements adjacent to

Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager, answering Mayor Daly, confirmed that
the Planning Commission denied the alcohol request and that there will be some
additional landscaping installed on the property. The prohibition of alcohol
is contained in Planning Commission Resolution PC95-55, Item 9, pg. 3. It was
a concern of both the Police Department and the Planning Commission.
Relative to the trees (Waiver A), it was approved in part based on the number
of driveways on La Palma. It was physically impossible to get the number of
trees that code would normally require. There will be some additional
landscaping adjacent to the interior property lines. A rendering was
presented at the Planning Commission hearing which staff and the Commission
reviewed and approved. Relative to signage, there is an existing pole sign
which will remain and no other signage is proposed.
No action was taken by the Council on this item.

APPROVED amendment to conditions of approval for CUP NO. 3670 (to
expire May 1, 1996) (PC95-57) (7 yes votes).
Negative Declaration previously approved.
Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager explained for Council Member Lopez that
this is a one-year time extension of the existing CUP; however, numerous
conditions were imposed at both the request of Code Enforcement and the Police
Department. The Planning Commission felt the one additional year on the CUP
would be appropriate in light of the conditions imposed.
Mayor Daly. He asked for clarification that the permit will expire in May of
1996 and the burden will be on the operator to reapply.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. That is correct. It is a one-year permit only
until May of 1996. If the applicant reapplies, it will require a new Public
Hearing and conditions could be added or the application not approved.
No further action was taken by the Council on this item.

CITY OF ANAHEIM~ CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
c1. ITEMS INITIATED BY THE PUBLIC/CITY COUNCIL:
105: Discussion relative to direction to be given to the Budget Advisory
Commission by the City Council. (Requested by Council Member Zemel
at the meeting of May 16, 1995.) (Continued from the meetings of
June 6, 1995, Item Cl, and June 13, 1995, Item Cl.)
Council Member Zemel. There are a couple of additions he would like to make,
one recommended by Council Member Feldhaus. He assumes that everyone has
reviewed the City Manager's workplan. (The Council indicated they had).
Under additional privatization opportunities, Council Member Feldhaus
suggested that they seek other opportunities along with the ones mentioned in
the workplan, i.e., study of Street Tree Trimming, Data Processing Services
and Convention Center Management.
City Manager Ruth. Staff has a very comprehensive report which he believes
the Council has and which is updated at least two times a year or on a
quarterly basis. The items listed in the workplan were just the main ones for
additional privatization opportunities. They do not preclude all the other
initiatives in the City.
Council Member Zemel. Another issue he believes is wise to "put to bed" once
and for all is a comparison of private sector compensation levels with City
levels and have the Budget Commission advise the Council as to their feelings.
Otherwise, he believes it is a great plan.
Council Member Tait. Relative to long-range financial forecasting, he
realizes that forecasting becomes somewhat speculative further than five
years, but he would like to see it perhaps go out to eight years.
City Manager Ruth.. Staff will take a look but it gets a little difficult.
They have identified all the known liabilities over the next 3-5 years and
factored those in. They are working through those right now, identifying
revenue sources and potential revenue losses.
Council Member Tait. He would also like to have the forecasting done assuming
that there will be no tax increases.
Miriam Kaywood, Anaheim resident. She understands that one of the members of
the Budget Advisory Commission (BAC) who never was a resident of the City also
no longer owns a business in the City and, therefore, would not be eligible to
be on the Commission. She feels there is a deficiency on the Commission in
that there is no member who represents the hotel-motel industry.
Council Member Zemel. The Commissioner referred to is Kathryn Freshley who is
a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Right after her appointment, she sold
her business and she is a resident of Laguna. She had indicated she was
trying to become associated with another business in Anaheim. He asked her to
inform the City as soon as possible as to her status since otherwise they
would be interested in getting someone from the hotel-motel industry.
Council Member Tait. The Council attempted to appoint Bill O'Connell, a
representative of that industry, but were unable to do so at the time since he
was not a resident.
MOTION. Council Member Zemel moved to approve the Budget Advisory Commission
Workplan for FY95/96 including a compensation comparison between the public
22
CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNI~ - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 20, 1995
and private sector and not limiting privatization opportunities to those
listed in the Workplan. Mayor Daly seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
C2. 114: COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Council Member Feldhaus reported on his attendance at a recent function
sponsored by the Canyon Hills Community Council. A plaque was presented to
the City Council for the $5,000 previously allocated to assist in holding
their annual July 4th event, the theme this year being "Anaheim Then and Now."
(He submitted the plaque.)
Council Member Zemel. Also with regard to the activities of the Canyon
Community Council, he noted that Shirley McCracken was doing a great job in
helping to raise money for the organization. PacBell and the Register came
through with their pledges as did some small business people.
C3. 112: REPORT ON CLOSED SESSION ACTIONS:
City Attorney White stated there are no actions to report but the Council will
again recess into Closed Session at the conclusion of the public portion of
the meeting. No action is anticipated.
Recess - Closed Session: By general consent the Council recessed into Closed
Session. (8:00 P.M.)
Council Member Lopez left the Council chamber.
After Recess: Mayor Daly called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present with the exception of Council Member Lopez. (10:02 P.M.)
ADJOURNMENT: Mayor Daly moved to adjourn the City Council Meeting of June
20, 1995. Council Member Feldhaus seconded the motion. Council Member Lopez
was absent. MOTION CARRIED. (10:03 P.M.)
