A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was
~osted at 2=15 p.m. on March 4, 1994 at the Civic Center kiosk, containing all
items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the workshop portion of the meeting of March 8, 1994 to
order at 3=00 p.m.
City Manager James Ruth. The Council has been provided with a description of
the first presentation to be given today. He then introduced Chris Jarvi,
Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services who will make the
presentation along with Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community
Development who has been working on the conceptual plans for the Downtown
Community Center for the past two years.
150= DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY CENTER=
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services. A series
of presentations will be made today by the different people involved conveying
the need for the Downtown Community Center and how it fits into the
Redevelopment plan, the consensus process used, details on location, cost and
phasing of the project. Although the Downtown Community Center is a project
that has been discussed for many years, the consensus development process
occurred within the last year and that is what is being presented to the
Council today. Both Mr. Jarvi and Lisa Stipkovich, then briefed the Downtown
Community Center Project Summary dated March 3, 1994 by the Anaheim Community
Services Coalition, Anaheim Parks, Recreation and Community Services and the
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency which was previously submitted to the Council
(made a part of the record). The report listed those in the Anaheim Community
Services Coalition and gave information on the background, process and
implementation strategy. The presentation was supplemented by graphics of the
proposed site of the community center (civic uses to the west of Philadelphia
Street and recreational uses to the east being the preferred concept).
During the course of the presentation, the following people also spoke on
various aspects of the project as indicated=
Bill Taormina, Vice Chairman, Anaheim Community Services Coalition
(ACSC). He elaborated upon how and why the coalition was formed, the
fact that they wanted everyone to come together in one facility, thus
avoiding duplication of resources and effort, that the concept of a
common facility is real, that many hours have been spent on the design
and developing a common facility that can work for all, the seniors, the
arts and youth programs. The concern is the timing and funding and in
order to look into that in greater depth, he met with City Manager Ruth,
104
City Ha11~ Anaheimt California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 8~ 1994 - 5:00 P.M.
Chris Jarvi and Assistant City Manager Dave Morgan. They tried to
develop the cost of doing a bond issue. To get the center "out of the
ground" quicker, the concept was for a $30 million bond issue - $10
million for a downtown center, $10 million for one in West Anaheim and
$10 million in East Anaheim. The impact on the taxpayers/homeowner
would be approximately $20 a year. Although it is a great idea,
considering the people's current concern regarding taxes, they want to
do more work on the concept before putting the issue on a ballot. He
then introduced Keith Olesen who has a good feel for the real world
since his home is across the street from the proposed site for the
center.
Keith Olesen, Chairman, Anaheim Community Services Coalition. He
explained how all of the groups came together and what they have done to
arrive at the point they are at today. They wanted to make a concerted
effort and to have a major impact. They helped each other design what
it is they are all looking for as well as the overall concept - the
important thing being to get all the groups and services in a central
location. The architect took the information gathered from all
contributors and compiled it in a practical way. They also discussed
where they are going to get the resources and where resources presently
existed. The Council has before it all the background information in
the architect's final draft of the layout. They have identified revenue
sources on the Phase I plan and at this point need to come to the
Council because part of the funding comes from Block Grant funds which
the Council is scheduled to act upon at tonight's meeting.
Mr. Jarvi stated discussions resulted in a Phase I and Phase II approach which
he briefed as outlined in the subject report including square footages
involved for the various functions and entities, the budget and financing and
an operations strategy. In concluding, he stated they are recommending that'
the Block Grant funds be allocated by the Council for the first phase of
development ($974,583), that the Council support Phase I as proposed and
eventually authorize staff to seek a qualified architect to start developing
plans.
Council Member Feldhaus. He does not believe they are setting their sights
high enough. Anaheim deserves a community center second to none. A properly
constructed and operative center is vital to the continued enhancement of
downtown as well as citizens' social programs. He does not know if all
funding sources and revenues have been explored. Perhaps they could look at
certificates of participation. There is no way they are going to be able to
do it by phasing. They ought to do it now, do it once and do it right - a
center that everyone can utilize. $7.5 million is almost half way there for
an $18 million community center. He feels they could do the whole thing at
once.
Questions were then posed by Mayor Daly and Council Member Feldhaus which were
answered by Mr. Jarvi and Mrs. Stipkovich revolving around the phasing of the
project, specifics regarding location and square footage, possible funding
sources, etc.
Council Member Pickler. He is concerned relative to the second phase. When
they first started talking about the center, they talked about all entities
getting together to do what was necessary to raise funds - the Boy's & Girl's
Club, the "Y", the Arts Council and the seniors. He feels they have lost that
concept. Relative to CDBG funds, those are for the purpose of youth more than
anything else. He feels the same as Council Member Feldhaus, that they cannot
105
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 8t 1994 - 5=00 P.M.
cut the project in half by doing a portion now and the balance later. The
bond issue idea is something they should look at. He is concerned that once
Phase I is built, the balance will fall by the wayside. It is necessary to
find an answer to build it all. He does not think they are going in a
direction he wants to see.
Mayor Daly. It is important to differentiate that Council Member Feldhaus is
concerned with phasing in terms of the financing and Council Member Pickler is
concerned that if Phase I is funded and built, Phase II ends up becoming
difficult to ever accomplish. If fundraising starts soon for Phase II and it
is successful and objectives are met, it might all end up in Phase I. It is
necessary to give staff and the community feedback today on the site plan and
the overall concept and then deal separately with the idea of fundra£sing.
Council Member Pickler. Relative to the money they are being requested to
pull out of CDBG funds for the community center, he would have no problem
putting that money aside, but confirmed for the Mayor that what he wants is a
plan for the entire project.
Chris Jarvi. The report made today was to talk about the overall concept and
try to get started on the project. The whole purpose of the coalition
initially was to define a plan so they could get back together and determine
how they are going to raise funds for the project.
Further discussion followed wherein Mr. Taormina addressed the fact that there
is a timing and funding issue which he explained. He is willing to risk that,
given the chance, the citizens of Anaheim knowing there would be an
opportunity to have a community center in each of the sectors of the City
would concur or approve an assessment for a short period of time for a bond
issue for a little over $20 a year. It needs to be all the way one time -
build the building. The fundraising will come for a program, for equii~nent,
salaries, special projects and all the things that are needed inside the
building. What they need from the Council is help to create the physical
structure. The fastest way is through public debt because it is a piece of
infrastructure that benefits all people.
Keith Olesen. There is a misunderstanding about what they are suggesting.
Their goal is to build the entire complex. The design allows for
expandability. They were careful not to plan for something that would be
obsolete by the time it is built. The whole point of the phasing is the
financing.
Further discussion and questioning followed at the conclusion of which, Mayor
Daly stated speaking for himself, he thinks the site plan is "fabulous", the
way the buildings are lald out makes a lot of sense and he has not heard from
anyone in the community that does not like the site plan. He likes the
concepts, and the way the project ties in with parking is great. The phasing
of the construction makes sense and questions that have arisen today on how to
fund Phase II need to be resolved and fundraising accelerated or identify
where some of the money might come from. What they need to tell staff and Mr.
Taormina's coalition today is if they have any problems or questions about the
site plan or the way the buildings are laid out. Later on they can pin down
financing strategies and timing on Phase II.
Council Member Pickler. The Council is scheduled to act on the CDBG funds
tonight. If they approve the budget, it has $974,000 in it for the community
center. He asked if that money was going to be used to design Phase I.
106
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 8, 1994 - 5=00 P.M.
Lisa Stipkovich. It would not be automatic. Staff would come to the Council
with a request to go out for an RFP or to award an RFP to hire an architect.
She clarified that the money would be set aside.
Council Member Simpson. He likes the concept, the layout and the phased
approach. He wished he shared the optimism that the people will vote to fund
a community center but he does not. However, he does believe it is possible
to raise the funds. He feels they should move forward.
Lisa Stipkovich. She explained for the Mayor that relative to the time frame,
they are planning to move forward quickly if the Council approves the Block
Grant funding.
Mayor Daly. He would encourage anyone who has a question or concern to get
those on the table during the next few weeks. He feels it is the sense of the
group to move forward pretty fast once they sort out the fundraising
questions. He thanked staff and the con~nunity for the time and effort devoted
to the project and for the progress that has been made.
City Manager Ruth. The second presentation today is on the Stadium repairs to
be made by HOK who is doing the architectural design and conceptual layouts.
He first introduced the Stadium Gener&l Manager, Greg Smith.
101= HOK PRESENTATION ON ANAHEIM STADIUM REPAIRS AS A RESULT OF T~
NORTHRIDGE EARTHQUAKE=
Greg Smith, Stadium General Manager. Substantial earthquake damage was
sustained to Anaheim Stadium on January 17, 1994, the day of the Northridge
earthquake. There was extensive damage to the roof structure in the left
field area and the jumbotron video display system and advertising panels were
destroyed. There was also loss of a portion of a concession stand, some
restrooms, seats and the concrete support area to the seating in that view
level left field damaged area. Demolition has been completed at a cost of
$800,000 and they are now in the design phase for reconstruction. In the near
future, they will be presenting a proposal to purchase a new video display
system which they would like to have available by the start of the baseball
season. They want to begin construction of the repair to the damaged facility
in approximately 6 weeks from today and hope to have it complete and ready to
go by August 12, 1994 for the first Rams game on August 13, 1994. Earl Santee
from the architectural firm of HOK is present today. They have entered into
an agreement with HOK to perform design services for the reconstruction. HOK
has a good reputation throughout the country in building new stadiums and they
were the architectural firm that designed the Anaheim Arena. Mr. Santee will
explain the conceptual design.
Earl Santee, Architectural Firm of HOK. They visited Anaheim Stadium shortly
after the damage occurred. Working from the posted diagram/reconstruction
scheme, he explained they started the whole process of understanding what the
original scoreboard was like. They are replacing the components that were
there previously and came up with a couple of different ideas to present a new
image. They are not proposing to replace the board in its exact nature, the
reason being, the existing scoreboard was a video board. They felt it was a
massive shape that was somewhat overbearing and it did not make sense with the
rest of the architecture of the Stadium. They decided they should keep the
structure relatively light. In the last 8 years, scoreboard designs have been
107
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 8, 1994 - 5:00 P.M.
improved 8 to 10 fold. This will be twice the board as far as clarity,
brightness and definition and it will be lighter. They also looked at the
trivision components. They are promoting placing the video board and the
trivision boards essentially in the same location but in lieu of the large
massive assembly, each of the pieces will be components of a structural frame
- simple and open air. It will be much lighter in its look and in its feel.
Additional components of the reconstruction are two toilet facilities and a
concession stand and some precast seating. They will be replacing a large
portion of the precast seating along with some seating. He explained for the
Mayor that the display board and advertising panels are cantilevered out as
they were before but just steel columns reaching out and suspending the panels
over the seating area. The actual video screen and advertising panels will be
in the same position as they were in the old configuration. The structure
will be made to feel like a trellis in lieu of a roof. It will become
somewhat more open air.
Mr. Santee then answered additional questions posed by the Mayor.
Greg Smith. The video display screen depicted represents the size of the
video screen they are going to propose to the City Council to purchase in the
near future. It will be larger than the previous screen which is an
enhancement to the overall design. It will be approximately 200 square feet
larger than the old board and will go up to 28 feet by 39 feet which will be
the second largest video screen in North America. Although larger, it is
about one-half the weight of the old board. HOK is not recommending
replacement of the little "A" as it was but instead some lighting features and
light cannons which could also depict an "A" at night time if they chose to do
so. It could be a part of it but not a permanent installation which would be
available at night.
Mayor Daly thanked staff and Mr. Santee for the presentation.

ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Carol Rudat, 2810 Old Bridge Road, Anaheim. She first referred to a recent
newspaper article which addressed the expense that will be incurred relative
to the Santa Aha Canyon Road Enhancement Project. (Also see minutes of
109
City Halll Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 8~ 1994 - 5:00 P.M.
January 25 and February 1, 1994 wherein Mrs. Rudat and a number of other
citizens addressed this issue.) She met with the City's Traffic &
Transportation Manager, John Lower yesterday afternoon and does not believe
any changes have been made regarding the subject project despite the input
that has been received from the citizens in the area. If money does not have
to be spent, she urged that they do not spend it.
Mayor Daly stated that staff is going to be making a presentation on the
project~ City Manager Ruth. It is going to be addressed in a workshop session
next Tuesday, March 15, 1994.
Mrs. Rudat then addressed some of the issues she previously addressed (see
minutes of January 25 and February 1, 1994) including recommendations in lieu
of some of the proposed improvements. In concluding, she stated that she is
speaking for herself but they are going to have to notify the people who will
be impacted that the plane still call for Santa Ana Canyon Road to be widened.
Mayor Daly. He reiterated there will be a presentation on the subject next
Tuesday in a workshop format. Staff will give the entire status of all the
Mello-Roos projects approved some years ago~ City Manager Ruth suggested that
since there will be quite a bit of discussion, that the workshop portion start
earlier than 3=00 p.m.
It was determined that the workshop on the Santa Ana Canyon Road Enhancement
Project would start at 2~30 p.m., on Tuesday, March 15, 1994.
Later in the meeting, Mayor Daly stated they might want to focus on broad
strokes next week and if follow-up detail work has to be done, perhaps just a
snapshot as to what the department's view of the status of the project is.
City Attorney White. The intent is to give an overview next week involving a
variety of issues. To some extent, the discussion next week may color whether
or not the Council will want to schedule additional meetings regarding some of
these subjects.

A7. 113: RESOLUTION NO. 94R-27: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM AUTHORIZING THE DESTRUCTION OF CERTAIN CITY RECORDS MORE THAN
TWO YEARS OLD. (City Attorney's Office.)
Council Member Feldhaus posed questions relative to the destruction of records

retention program.
A8. 158: RESOLUTION NO. 94R-28: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

A9. 174: Approving the expansion of the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Target Area Patrick Henry Neighborhood Council by including a portion
of census block group number i of Census Tract number 867.01 and designating
this area for the elimination of slum and blight.
Council Member Feldhaus. He asked how the process worked - if a request to
include a census block had to be made by a majority of property owners or how
it comes about.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. It is not a
matter of the residents petitioning for this but rather that the census data
indicates how many people are low and moderate income and this area meets the
requirements to be included in a target area meaning that there is more than
50% between low and moderate income.
Later in the meeting, Mrs. Stipkovich corrected her statement. What she said
earlier about low and moderate income is the typical way but in this
particular case, it was a slum-blight designation. It did come out of a
request from that neighborhood. A survey was done to see if there were
blighting conditions, infrastructure problems, deteriorating housing and those
conditions were found. It was not based on the census iow and medium income
which is usually the case. She also clarified that it could be a request from
just one person but it does take substantiation of a physical survey of the
area which staff did do to indicate that the area is blighted. It does not
mean that next year's CDBG Grant will grow because of a larger target area as
suggested by the Mayor but makes the area eligible for certain CDBG funding
based upon the slum-blight requirement. The Patrick Henry Neighborhood
Council did recommend approving the request.
Al0. 1532 RESOLUTION NO. 94R-29: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ESTABLISHING TERMS AND

Phil Knypstra, 2520 Gelid Avenue, Anaheim. He expressed his concern over the
things the Anaheim Police Department did in order to get the raise they were
given noting in comparison that those in his field of education have not
received a raise in 36 months but they do not engage in overt activities as
did the Police.
Council Member Feldhaus asked why the Memorandum of Understanding extends
through July 13 instead of June 30 to coincide with the fiscal year.
112
City Hallr Anaheimr California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 8~ 1994 - 5:00 P.M.

PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication in Anaheim Bulletin - January 25 and February 1, 1994
The joint public hearing was scheduled and continued from the meetings of
February 8, February 15 and March 1, 1994 to this date.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. The proposed
Fourth Amendment will accomplish several things. Most of all it relates to
the deletion of certain properties from the Koll Agreement. The posted maps
show the existing parcel configuration to the left and the new proposed
configuration and deletion parcels outlined on the right. Parcel 9D would be
removed. It would require a reconfiguration of Phase 3 and would require the
deletion of 9D in order to accommodate the Agency exclusively negotiating with
Disney Goals for a community ice rink in that location. It would delete
Parcel 10C and they would propose to negotiate with UCI for an extension
school on that location. Koll has agreed to release those two properties on
which they currently have development rights. In exchange, the Agency would
be including Parcel 9B which they recently acquired, the current Security
Pacific property and also extending their deadline on Phase 3 from December,
1994 to December, 1997. In addition, they are looking to work with the Koll
Company to redo a site plan for Phase 3 for Parcels 9A, B and C. That would
come back to the Council/Agency as another amendment to the DDA. They have
also prepared a summary report which analyzes the economic effect of the
changes and it was determined that there were no significant economic impacts
due to the trade off of properties they are giving up as well as the
development rights being carried over to the other properties leaving the
hotel and office development rights still in place. It is an amendment which
would allow staff to go forward with two exclusive rights to negotiate - one
with the Disney Goals group for a community ice rink and the other to work
with UCI for an extension school. Those items would be brought to the
Council/Agency separately for approval.
Answering the Mayor relative to timing, she explained on the Disney Goals, the
exclusive right to negotiate, they hope to bring that to the Council as soon
as next week. On UCI, they may go straight to a disposition and development
agreement which is more involved. She believes the Board of Regents would
have to approve that which may take between 30 and 60 days.
Mrs. Stipkovich then answered questions posed by the Mayor relating to the
proposed UCI building where the Agency would be acting as the developer, the
size, parking arrangements as well as other aspects of the overall plan for
the various parcels.
Chairman/Mayor Daly then opened the public hearing and asked to hear from
anyone who wished to speak; there was no response.
Agency Member Daly offered Resolution No. ARA94-2 for adoption, approving the

Mayor Daly. This matter has been continued a few times due to a major
commitment in the budget for a community center. The Council held a workshop
this afternoon which substantially clarified the funding strategies for the
center and the role the CDBG program has in that funding strategy. Also,
questions have arisen about the non-profit portion of the package. There are
still some questions that remain unanswered. Further, one member of the
Council is absent today. He, therefore, suggested a one-week continuance on
this item.

the Fiscal Year 1994-95 CDBG Program and Budget for one week to Tuesday,
