City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19, 1990. 2:00 P.M.
Mr. Snyder briefed the Council on the present status of the
Convention & Visitor Industry in Anaheim. He noted that
competition continues to grow at an accelerated pace. Anaheim
has maintained throughout the years, and will continue to do so,
an extremely aggressive position and posture in the market
place. He then briefed the marketing strategies in process and
being undertaken as well as showing the Council drafts of new
ads that will appear in key publications in coming months. He
also submitted and briefed a 2-page data sheet showing
Convention attendance from 1983 to present reflecting successive
record-breaking years in Convention attendance with the
possibility that 1990 will be another record breaker. There has
also been a steady growth in tourism with a 2.3% gain in 1989
over 1988 exceeding over 39 million visitors.

previously given by Hr. Snyder - $3,990,561. Total plan,
$4,506,655. This program is included under the City Council
budget - community promotion.
Ken Stone.
Significant changes include an increase in Visitor & Convention
Bureau from $3.2 million to $3.88 million as a result of growth
and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues and a change in tax
rate from 10% to 11% effective June 1, 1990. The Council future
appropriations account decrease, $1,065,000. This represented
revenue set aside from the previous TOT increase for payment of
Betterment III debt service. In 1990/91, the debt service is
fully on line with full principal and interest payments. Those
proceeds are reflected in the Convention Center budget. There
is an increase in the Council Contingency Fund from $100,000
last year to $200,000 this year utilizing one-time funds to give
the Council additional discretionary ability this coming year.
City Attorney, Jack White - City Attorney's Office:
RAP Page 63. Operating Plan, $3,366,555. No Capital

City Attorney White.
The 1990/91 budget represents a decrease of $191,150 from the
1989 budget and an $8,550 decrease from actual expenditures two
years ago. This decrease will primarily be due to a decrease in
the use of outside Council for litigation and complex
transactional matters. In the coming fiscal year, the current
civil staff of eight attorneys will handle an estimated 175 new
cases as part of a total continuing case load amounting to
approximately 750 active cases. Fewer than 5% will be referred
to outside Council at any cost to the City.

City Treasurer, Mary_ Turner - City Treasurer's Office;
RAP Page 65. Operating Plan, $2,460,909. No Capital
Improvements or Issues.
Mary Turner.
Two areas which differ from the 1989/90 RAP, the City
Treasurer's Department includes the programs for the cash
management and investments, Business License, Collections and
Employees Deferred Compensation Program. Included in the
1990/91 budget is an additional mew program from animal licenses
and the projected costs for processing. Until 1989/90, the
County of Orange provided animal control services in exchange
for the right to retain the fees assessed for animal licenses
and related fees. In 1989/90 in order to achieve full cost
recovery, the County began assessing cities for the additional
cost of service. Staff has analyzed and come up with a
recommendation that by proposing to include the animal licenses
within the Business License Division, they can not only net out
the cost of the license, but also lower the fees and enhance the
level of services to the community by registration being handled
in the City. An Office Specialist position has been added in
the Business License Program to assist with this new activity.
Ken Stone and Mary Turner then answered questions posed by
Council Members. The County billed Anaheim $497,000 in 1989/90
to provide complete animal control services. The proposal
before the Council would simply allow Anaheim to perform the
licensing function and the County will provide field control and
shelter services. The City's cost of collection will be much
lower than the County's. Citizens will now be coming to the
City's Business License Division for dog licenses.
Mrs. Turner then explained for Councilman Daly that relative to
the collection of Business Licenses, the largest complaints are
from the category staff has identified as the services
classification which category covers professional as well as
lawn care service, the babysitter, and the person who cuts
hair. Staff has identified a couple of areas within the
Business License that they could enhance and bring a proposal to
Council if the Council so desires. Another area of concern to
her is relative to gross receipts for the business license with
some people paying .54¢ tax. Council needs to consider setting
a minimum tax of perhaps a flat $75 and bringing out some of the
service categories as well as some of the people that are on
gross receipts to pay a minimum tax of $75. She will leave that
with Council for consideration.
Mayor Hunter.
Referring to the category he calls the B's, barber shops, beauty
shops, babysitters, bartenders, etc., he has heard complaints
from this category and especially from his barber. He feels it
611
5O
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19. 1990. 2:00 P.M.
would be appropriate to revisit the "B" category to try to work
something out.
Councilwoman Kaywood.
She directed that a staff report be submitted to the Council so
that the Council can take action relative to the possibility of
a flat tax; Mrs. Turner stated she will be glad to submit a
report on that issue as well as the businesses in the service
category.
City Clerk, Leonora Sohl City Clerk's Office; RAP Page 64.
Operating Plan, $681,334. No Capital Improvements.
City Clerk Sohl.
There is a $34,000 increase in Program 132 distributed to
several accounts. This reflects the increased costs experienced
for advertising, reproduction of the Municipal Code and $23,000
required to be added for printing costs. There is also an added
$60,000 to Program 133 to be set aside to cover costs
anticipated for the November, 1990 General Municipal Election.
This is in addition to the $40,000 previously incorporated into
Program 133 (Elections) for the same November Election.
Additional funds are allocated as a result of information
received from the Orange County Registrar that Election costs
for 1990 would be double the cost of 1988, which costs totalled
approximately $52,000. One supplemental package was submitted
recommended for approval by the City Manager in the amount of
$50,000 to implement optical disk as a long-term records storage
solution which will allow a much more efficient method of
records retreival and improved control. In all cases where
technology is involved in the Clerk's Office, the goal is to
implement and use it to improve access to information while
decreasing ongoing costs to provide the service.
Finance Director, George Ferrone - Finance Department:
RAP Page 67. Operating Plan, $6,529,631. No Gapi~al
Improvements.
George Ferrone. The 1990/91 budget represents a $958,922
increase over the 1989/90 projected budget. All of the
increases due to debt service, adminisgration and service costs
are associated with the three Mello-Roos financing projects in
the Anaheim Hills area. He explained for Councilman Daly that
the one additional staff person will be associated directly with
the Mello-Roos Administration and accounting responsibilities.
Mello-Roos costs are fully reimbursed by the tax rate that is
set each year. The almost $1 million increase relates almost
entirely to the debt service cost on Mello-Roos projects. When
the projects are completed within the next year or two, that
number will drop dramatically.
612
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19. 1990. 2:00 P.M.
Ken Stone.
He elaborated further relative to Mello-Roos clarifying that in
this budget the Council is only seeing administrative and debt
service costs.
Library Director, Bill Griffith - Library Department;

Bill Grifftth.
Dollarwise the budget is essentially unchanged from the current
year. Capital outlay is up a little. It provides for three
items of some significance - it will permit the acquisition of a
new computer for their Data Processing system and will move it
from Data Processing to the Central Library Facility. Secondly,
it will complete renovation that has been underway at the
Haskett Branch and finally, although it does not show up in the
proposed budget because it is a carry-over, provides
architectural fees for planning of the Central Library
facility. They hope to bring a recommendation to the Council
next month for the architect in that regard.

Policy Issue: Assumption of underground tank inspection
program. Currently negotiating with the County. Once adopted,
the Fire Department would be responsible for the program.
Program costs would be offset by new user fees.
Fire Chief Bowman.
At Council's request, some major one-time expenditures are
proposed for the emergency services program in the way of
earthquake preparedness program which was enumerated in a staff
report previously submitted. He then gave an overview of the
various programs undertaken by the Fire Department as well as
proposed Capital Improvement projects totalling appr0ximat.ly
$3 million. He subsequently answered questions posed by Council
Members revolving around the planned Capital Improvements (Fire
Station 5, 6 and 9).
Data Processing Director, Janet Mace - Data Processing
Department: RAP Page 68. Operating Plan, $6,532,612.

No
Janet Mace.
The work load is growing rapidly in the personal computer (PC)
area but it is also holding very steady as well in the main
frame area. In 1987/88 there were 200 PC's in the City which
seemed like a huge number; at the end of 1990, it is expected
613
48
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES
June 19, 1990. 2:00 P.M.
there will be 650 PC's in offices throughout the City. Also at
the time there were 240 work stations connected to the main
frame. Today there are 600, and by years end there will be
750. This three-fold growth has been supported with a
Departmentwide increase of only four full-time employees. The
continuously high usage of their services over the past few
years has enabled the building of a good fund balance with
positive cash flow. They are now able to have a reserve to
undertake projects of general benefit to the City. This was
something the Chamber Blue Ribbon Committee recommended they do
about 8 or 9 years ago. In July Data Processing will begin the
installation of 155 network PC's which will replace the aging
Wang system which has been serving City Hall over the last 8
years. When completed at the end of 1990, all the Departments
in the Civic Center will be able to share data and documents
electronically. The installation of the equipment and training
of staff is perhaps the major challenge her Department faces in
the coming six months.
City Manager, James Ruth.
There is an adjustment to that budget that is reimbursable. The
Data Processing Department is proposing one additional Senior
Systems Programmer position with no dollar adjustment
necessary. The funding for this position is currently budgeted
in contract labor and if approved the appropriation will shift
to the full-time labor accounts.
Acting Public Utilities General 'Manager, Darrell Ament - Public
Utilities Department: RAP Pages 57-59. Capital Improvements,
Pages 21-43. Operating Plan, $236,172,107. Capital
Improvements, $50,436,747. Total Plan, $286,608,854.
Adjustments: The Public Utilities Board at its meeting of
June 7, 1990 recommended approving the proposed Utilities
Department RAP with the following adjustments:
(1)
Decrease Program 466 power supply for the cost of the
IPP power supply by $4 million included in 55-46-5213.
(2) Decrease light and power sales 55-3411 by $1,841,000.
<3)
Increase the use of the R.S.A. fund by $4,996,000 as shown
under Account No. 55-3414.
(4)
Decrease Program 462 for the cost associated with one
Environmental Services Specialist that was removed from
the budget - $38,312.
(5)
Set up a new program in Electrical Engineering to
implement the Council undergrounding policy - increase of
$1 million in 1990/91.
614
45
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19. 1990. 2:00 P.M.
(6)
Reduce electric utility budget by $600,000 with cuts to be
at the discretion of Utilities Management.
City Manager Ruth first exRlained for Councilman Daly that the
adjustments were proposed by the Board in conjunction with
staff. Staff has supported all but the last, the $600,000 cut.
His (Ruth) contention was that they let the new manager come in
and review those proposed budget cuts, discuss them with staff
and subsequently come back to the Council.
Darrell Ament.
There are a number of adjustments as briefed by the City
Manager, the most recent relating to the undergrounding program
adding $1 million to begin that program next year. He then gave
an overview and highlights of the Department budget which was
supplemented by slides.
The Department goal is to meet the needs of the City's
consumer/owners reliably and economically. One of the clearest
indicators of their success is the favorable rate comparison
· with Southern California Edison (SCE). Today, Anaheim's average
residential customers are paying about 21% less than neighboring
cities. The City's water rates remain amongst the lowest third
in Orange County. On the electric side, 60% of the budget is
devoted to power supply costs. Anaheim will continue to benefit
from its participation in the Intermountain Powmr Project (IPP)
and ownership in the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
Combined, these plants provided more than 2/3's of the City's
power in 1989/90 and will continue to do so in the next year.
Overall, only 1.3% of power was purchased from Edison in 1989/90
and they anticipate the same relationship in 1990/91. Their
objective is to reduce power supply costs through aggressive
planning and development of new resources. The goal is to find
the most economical power resources and lock them into today's
costs. Their mission remains unchanged - to provide reliable
high quality water and electric service to the consumer-owners
at the lowest possible cost. To meet this goal, the Department
plans to carry out the aforementioned pro§rams while maintaining
an increasin§ service levels with modest rate increases of 6%
for the water utility and 3.7% for electricity.
Labor Relations Director, Garry McRae - Labor Relations;
RAP Page 66. Operating Plan, $482,783. No Capital Improvements.
Garry McRae.
In 1990/91 Labor Relations will complete negotiations with the
Fire Association which has been underway for several months.
They also anticipate completing Labor negotiations with the AMEA
general and clerical unit.
Departmental budget presentations were now concluded.

City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES
June 19. 1990. 2:00 P.M,
City Manager Ruth. He explained relative to the response to the Chamber of
Commerce Blue Ribbon Committee Report, the Chamber has asked that their
presentation to the Council be delayed until the 5:30 p.m. Council meeting.
Staff has prepared a response (see report dated June 19, 1990 - subject:
Response to Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Blue Ribbon Committee Report 21
pages) which has been submitted to the Council. Staff did not receive the
Blue Ribbon Committee Report until late Friday and worked on it all day Monday
and into the early morning in order to submit responses and a report to the
Council before today's meeting.
The public hearing on the Resource Allocation Plan was continued to the
5:30 p.m. Council meeting.
City Manager Ruth. He referred to the proposed 1990/91 fee and service
charges submitted by various departments under the aforementioned reports.
Council has been provided with reports and data supporting the requested fees
and service charges which data has also been provided for public inspection.
Mayor Hunter asked if anyone wished to speak on the 1990/91 Resource
Allocation Plan Proposed 6/langes and fee schedules; there being no response he
closed the hearing relative to the proposed fees.
Councilman Daly. He questioned the first proposed resolution establishing
fees to be charged by Public Works/Engineering Department submitted under
report dated June 5, 1990. It involved a whole series of fees which he noted
were being increased substantially. He wanted to know the justification, for
instance, of final tract maps increasing from the existing rate of $120 to
$200. He would like a more complete breakdown of the City's costs regarding
the fees, i.e., what changed in the past 12 months to in some cases double
internal costs. There is no background other than it is the cost of doing
business.
Art Daw, Deputy City Engineer. He explained that most of the fees are
adjusted on an annual basis and estimated on actual cost to provide the
service, the hours involved, etc.
After further discussion and questioning, Gouncilman Daly stated all he is
asking is that a more complete report be submitted relative to the increases
and on the need ~or the increases; City Manager Ruth stated that report would
be supplied by staff.

recommend Council action adopting the budget in the absence of such a motion.
The Council has taken action on all of the resolutions covering fees and
compensation issues. The adoption of the RAP is actually perfunctory, having
approved all of those other matters. Technically he would not recommend

Chris Van Gorder, Chairman, 1990 Blue Ribbon Committee.
He briefed his transmittal letter of June 6, 1990 which was a

strongly support the City's public safety agencies (Police and
Fire), the assurance that adequate long-term funding is in place
for current maintenance, street maintenance and improvement or
expansion of the City's facilities and equipment especially the
Convention Center and Stadium, and that there be a focus and
emphasis on economic development, business growth and
prtvatizatton of services where appropriate. The Chamber is
also pleased with the recent approval of the Plaza Redevelopment
Plan.

speak to the 1990/91 Resource Allocation Plan.

over each of the staff's responses to the Chamber report.

every one of the recommendations and prepared a response back to

process and as they begin to consider those through the year as
it turns into policy direction and the Council brings it back to
staff for implementation, all those issues can be addressed.

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Mr. Frank Elfend, Elfend & Associates.
He is present on behalf of the applicant who is in the Chamber
audience. He then narrated a prepared slide presentation giving
the historical background relative to the site and the project.
He also described the site and surrounding land uses. Since
approval of the CUP, his client has been contacted by the
Raddtson to build a flagship all-suites hotel and an agreement
was reached to do so. Subsequently 11 positive enhancements
were made to the site plan which he briefed. They involved
exterior enhancements and qualitative improvements to the
hotel. The slides included the representations of what the
proposed hotel, both interior and exterior, will look like when
complete. A slide showing the rendering of the proposed project
was also included.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if slides can be tied in with the
project just as with photographs.
City Attorney White.
It would be necessary to obtain prints from the applicant and to
the extent it could be identified what it was in the slides they
wish to tie to the project by way of conditions, the Council
could do that as a condition.
Frank Elfend.
Copies of the presentation are provided to the City and it is a
public record. The reason for making that level of presentation
is to try and communicate it is a quality project although it
may not be identical.

COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.
628
162
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19, %990, 5:30 P,M,
Councilman Daly.
He asked the Planning Director with the CR study and guidelines
that are in process, how the project compared to those
guidelines.
City Attorney White interjected first stating he wants to
clarify for the record that the Council's analysis of the
project and approval or denial will not be based upon how it
compares with the guidelines in process, which may or may not
ever be adopted or may be changed. While he has no problem with
staff addressing such a comparison, he emphasized that the
decision the Council makes must be based upon criteria in the
Code as it stands and not potential adoption of criteria or new
guidelines.
Joel Fick.
The project has been in process for some time. It was approved
unanimously by the Planning Commission. The Commission has
reviewed the variety of standards that are pending and there
still a long way to go through the hearing process. When this
process was originally examined the applicants did their best to
incorporate at least the concepts of some of the initial
thoughts staff had and the original guideline changes. It comes
quite close to conforming with many of those concepts. One of
the things the Planning Commission weighed heavily, the project
as was addressed in the earlier presentation did incorporate the
adjacent parcel of property retaining the same number of units
for the project and the general feeling was that this was an
enhancement over the prior approval.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, then answered questions posed by
Councilwoman Kaywood relative to parking confirming that parking
complies with the present ordinance. Also the parking structure
meets codes. Details will not be available until building
permits are submitted and will be carefully reviewed. A bus bay
is provided on-site and is capable of handling the hotel on the
adjacent site and will have a direct pedestrian link. Condition
No. 5 provides such a link so that the bus bay can be used by
Both hotels.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - CERTIFICATION; On motion by Councilman Pickler,
seconded by Councilman Ehrle, after considering Final EIR No. 293 and the
Addendum as they apply to the revised project, and reviewing evidence both
written and oral presented to supplement Final EIR No. 293 and the Addendum,
the City Council finds that:
(a)
Final EIR No. 293 and the Addendum are in compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act and the State and
City CEQA Guidelines.
629
159
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19. 1990, 5:30 P.M.
(b)
The Addendum for the revised project indicates that the
project mitigation measures can reduce all projects
specific impacts to an acceptable level.
(c)
The project is consistent with the intent of the City's
General Plan for the site and will be compatible with the
projected uses of the surrounding land uses.
Therefore, the City Council hereby certifies Final EIR No. 293 and the
Addendum for the revised project and adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program
(Attachment C). MOTION CARRIED.
WAIVER OF READING - RESOLUTION: The title of the following resolution was
read by the City Clerk. (Resolution No. 90R-216)
Councilman Hunter moved to waive the reading in full of the resolution.
Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Hunter offered Resolution No. 90R-216 for adoption, granting
Conditional Use Permit No. 3241, subject to City Planning Commission
conditions. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 90R-216: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3241.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated last week
she recommended that hotels and motels use a logo in bathrooms
encouraging water conservation. She asked if they could do so
in this project; Mr. Elfend answered that they would look into
the matter.
City Clerk Sohl asked for confirmation from Councilman Pickler
if that is to be an added condition, that stgnage in bathrooms
be included to encourage water conservation.
Councilman Pickler.
He answered no. He feels it is just a suggestion that they look
into doing so but he is not including it as a condition of
approval.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing resolution.

seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
127/142: PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS; Submitted for Council review and
approval were the following Charter Sections as submitted by the Charter
Review Committee - Proposed Ballot Wording Section 1211, 1217, Technical
Corrections; Section 1221, 1210, Substantive Amendments; Section 511,
Amendment proposed by the Council, and Revised Ballot Wording for Measures 8
(Charter Sections 705, 706 and 1216) and Measure 9 (Article VIII) as suggested
by the Council. Submitted was Joint report dated June 14, 1990 from the City
Attorney/City Clerk relating to same.
Councilman Pickler. The Planning Commission usually works from 10 a.m. on the
Mondays they meet until 9 or 10 p.m. at night and are paid $50 a meeting. He
suggests the possibility of increasing that amount to $100 a meeting and $50
for their workshops.
City Attorney White. That issue need not be an item for the City Charter. It
is now covered by ordinance.
Councilman Pickler.

That being the case, he will bring the matter up again at

City Hall. ADahetm. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19, %990, 5;30 ¥,M,
Councilwoman Kaywood. She feels relative to the Specific Ballot Wording,
Section 1211, it not very clear. Although she realizes it is difficult to be
impartial, it really does not say anything. Also if lowest and best
responsible bidder could be written to eliminate, "and best" she feels that
would be much clearer. It is going to be a long ballot and most people will
not have-the time or inclination to read the impartial analysis.
City Attorney White. There are actually two changes in 1211 - one is to
conform the terminology "lowest responsible bidder" to state law and the
second is to change a reference to a provision in state law that has been
superseded in the Government Code and now placed in the Public Contracts
Code. His thinking is to keep the wording of each individual measure as
succinct as possible so that a voter will not have an inordinate amount of
time reading the matter on the ballot. He can do whatever the Council desires.
After further Council discussion and questioning, City Attorney White stated
that relative to Section 1211, he will prepare alternate wording for the
Council to review for the next meeting at which time they can indicate their
choice.
MOTION: Councilman Daly moved to place on the November ballot the Technical
Corrections to Sections 1211 and 1217, Substantive Amendments to Sections 1221
and 1210 as recommended and submitted by the Charter Review Committee,
Technical Correction to Section 511 as proposed by the Council and to accept
revised ballot wording for Measures 8 and 9 as presented by the City Attorney
with the City Attorney to also provide alternate language on Sections 1221 and
1210 for Council consideration and decision. Councilman Hunter seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Before a vote was taken, Annlka Santalahtt, Zoning Administrator, clarified
for Councilwoman Kaywood that the distance proposed and approved was 100 feet
from dwelling units to the oil wells. The requirement is 150 feet.
Councilwoman Kaywood. She asked if this was going to generate additional
traffic on Glenvtew and Holbrook Streets.
Councilman Pickler. He recalls when the project was before the Council
previously, ingress and egress were key issues and he believes they have to
come back. When they do, the Council will have to deal with that problem.
Annika Santalahti. The project was before the Council last November. The
traffic is going to exit essentially towards Glenview.

155; FORM~TION OF CITIZENS STEERING COMMITTEE - GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
PROJECT: Submitted was report dated June 11, 1990 from the Planning
Department, recommending that the Council initiate the formation of a twelve
member Citizens Steering Committee for the Growth Management Element project
by directing staff to agendize discussion regarding appointments to the
Committee for a City Council meeting in July or early August.

City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES June 19, 1990, 5;30
Councilman Daly moved to approve the recommended action by staff.
Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion and asked that every one appointed be
an Anaheim resident.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Daly asked if it was staff's
recommendation that Council Members appoint two people and the remaining two
at large.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. He clarified that is staff's preference and
that the llth and 12th member be a representative from the Planning Commission
and one from the Redevelopment Commission.
Councilman Daly. Relative to residency, he feels it should be up to the
Council Member if they want to suggest a non-resident. He does not believe
that there would be any non-residents.
Mayor Hunter. He does not want to be put in a box. It is a matter they can
bring up when the appointments are made.
Councilman Daly. He suggested that they continue to refer to the plan as a
Growth Management Plan even though it will become an element of the General
Plan.
City Attorney White. He explained with regard to residency, it would not
legally be necessary that members of the Committee be residents of the City
unless the Council desires to make that a prequalification. He also asked for
clarification if it was the Council's intent to give each member of the
Council absolute power to appoint two members to the Committee with the
Council as a body to appoint the additional two members. There have been
discussions in the past couple of weeks relating to Boards and Commissions
created by the Charter. Those members have to be appointed by the Council as
a whole. Because this is an ad hoc committee not created by the Charter, the
Council can establish it and create qualifications of any type they desire.
If Council wants to have each member appoint two absolutely with no right of
agreement amongst the Council, that is fine as long as the ground rules are
known up front.
Councilman Daly. He is thinking of the Charter Review Committee where each
Council Member nominated two persons but the whole Council voted to approve
those persons; City Attorney White stated that was fine as well but he was
inquiring as to Councilman Daly's actual motion, whether it was an actual
appointment or a nomination.
Councilman Daly clarified that nomination is the word he should have used
because that is what he meant.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion by Councilman Daly, seconded by
Councilwoman Kaywood clarified as follows: Approving the staff recommendation
and staff report dated June 11, 1990 relative to the formation of a 12-member
Citizens Committee, that the appointments be scheduled for the Council meeting
of July 24, 1990 and that each Council Member nominate two persons to be

approved by the Council with the llth and 12th member to be a representative

ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Paul Cramer, 2040 Yorba Linda Boulevard, Managing Partner, Empire Cable
Company, Yorba Ltnda. He first gave an update on the Empire Cable TV
Franchise. The have activated their system and are servicing over 150
customers. They have passed 400 customers and are well ahead of their
business plan. Relative to the interconnect, they are negotiating with
Multiviston and with the help of the City look forward to activating
interconnect by the end of the month or July.
Through their existing and potential customers in the East Anaheim Hills area,
Multiviston is charging a different basic service rate for the same level of
service compared to the rest of the City of Anaheim. Empire as well as
Multivision in their franchise ordinances have special provisions that
prohibit preferential and discriminatory pricing practices. The preferential
pricing being offered by Multiviston in East Anaheim Hills is $14.95.
Multivision, for the same level of service in the other areas elswhere in the
City, is charging $21.95. Empire Cable feels this is in violation of the
special provisions in the Multivtsion ordinance, Section 14C. Empire
respectfully requests that the City direct staff to investigate the pricing
discrepancy and requests them to report back to the City Council if this
discrepancy in pricing practices are actually real in the East Anaheim Hills
area.
Art Stahovfch, 805 Ramblewood Drive, Anaheim. Parking regulations on
apartment complexes require one-quarter space for guest parking per unit.
Variance No. 3739 covers an 86-untt complex and Variance No. 3727 covers a
70-unit complex - both on Savanna Street. When the projects were presented to
the Planning Commission, it was specified there would be adequate guest
parking under the structures. The developer was well aware that they were
required to have open parking for guests and they would not have traffic gates
on the property. However, they do have traffic gates as well as the project
at 3520 Savanna Street (28-units). There is not one parking space for guests
on the outside. People are parking in his place across the street. Since the
gates have been added on these complexes, the street looks like a swap meet
every night. He checked with Planning and it specifies that they will not
have gates. He also checked with Engineering and was informed there was
nothing wrong relative to rules and regulations.
Mayor Hunter. The City Manager is taking note of the report and will have
staff look at the situation. -He agrees if parking is all enclosed within a
gated system, it makes it very difficult for guests to park.
Mr. Stahovtch. People that park in the structure have to have a transmitter
to open the gates. The street is solid parking and it is causing problems.
The gates were installed to avoid problems but there were no problems until
the 156 units were built.

City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19, ~990, 5;30 P,M,
Vtckie Talley, Executive Director, Orange County Mhet (Manufactured Housing
Educational Trust), business owner and resident in the City of Anaheim. She
is present in response partially to her understanding that the Council
received input under Items of Public Interest at the meeting of June 5, 1990
relative to mobilehome park rents mostly relating to the Orange Tree
Mobilehome Park (OTMHP). She had the opportunity to listen to those comments
and has prepared written comments which she distributed to the Council
relating to the comments made. She is also present to congratulate Council
Members Pickler, Kaywood and Daly for taking the leadership roles in opposing
and dismissing Mayor Hunter's suggestions which were not in the best interest
of mobtlehome park tenants or the City.
Mrs. Talley then briefed and/or read portions of the materials submitted - see
memo dated June 19, 1990 - Re: Anaheim Mobilehome Parks attached to which was
the following: Data sheet, Anaheim Mobilehome Park Rent Survey, Mobtlehome
Rental Assistance Program, sponsored by County park owners, important
information about mobilehome rent control and Orange Tree Lease Incentive
Program. (Documents made a part of the record). The information briefed was
- Anaheim Mobilehome Park Rent Survey, June, 1990 "...fifty-eight percent of
the space rents (in Anaheim) are under $425 a month and 26% under $350 a
month" Mobilehome Rental Assistance Program, long-term leases, Orange County
Long-term Lease Offer and Incentive Program, rental assistance for Orange Tree
residents.
At the conclusion of her extensive presentation of the material contained in
her submittal, Mrs. Talley encouraged the Council to call her or any owner
regarding any concerns and not to encourage people to pursue the rent control
issue which would be a major disservice to the residents of mobilehome parks.
If they want to help the needy, they should look for ways to do so, not the
people who can afford to pay rent increases. She asked that they inform her
if they know of mobilehome park residents who need assistance.
Barbara White, 15406 Elm Lane, Chino, owner of a mobilehome at Anaheim Royale
Mobilehome Park. She is in support of the mobtlehome owners at Orange Tree
Mobilehom~ Park. ~h~ eam~ by ownership o{ the mobilehome in Anaheim Royale
because her mother had lived in it. She is concerned about abuses cast upon
the elderly and the fixed income people. Requirements are made upon them that
are not in the mobilehome residency law. In trying to sell the coach, she was
handed a list of requirements by the park owner that had to be fulfilled
before the sale, things that are not allowed by law. The sale was
subsequently lost. There are senior citizens who because they either do not
know what the law says or feel they have no choice comply. The park owners
thus apply abuses with the law. Further, relative to the people from OTMHP
who spoke on June 5, 1990 regarding rent increases, she does not feel they are
greedy but indeed needy.
114/~50; REMOVAL OF TREES ON BROADWAY: Councilman Ehrle. He referred to
report dated June 13, 1988 by Golden Coast Environmental Services, Inc. which
was a tree survey and report done for the City in relation to the Broadway
639
149
City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19. 1990. 5:30 P.M.
Street project. He had asked that the report be submitted to the Council.
After reviewing the data contained therein, he was amazed to learn of the good
to excellent condition of the trees that were removed on Broadway. Very few
were in poor condition. They were beautiful trees that had been there for
almost 70 years and in one day they were wiped out. He feels someone has to
be held accountable for their destruction. The neighbors have to have more
realistic answers than being told the trees are going to be replaced with
36-inch box trees. The City's tree maintenance program has to be re-evaluated
before they continue to wipe out 70-year old trees in the City.
Mayor Hunter. The trees on the north side of Broadway (Citron to Manchester)
were leveled. He is now concerned about those on the south side. He would
like to either agendtze the item or direct staff to stop any further work on
Broadway until there is a meeting between the proper personnel in the City and
the residents on Broadway before anything else occurs. He does not want to
see the same thing happen on south side.
Councilman Daly. He agrees. It appears there was a major mistake with the
communications problem that occurred on the Broadway rehabilitation project.
They talked about that project as a Council and all voted to award the
construction contract based on staff's recommendations and staff's assurances
that the neighbors were in general concurrence with the plan. There needs to
be a community meeting amongst property owners on Broadway to revisit the
whole subject. He attended a community meeting which focused on street lights
a year or so ago. At the time, there was not a controvercy about the trees.
Mayor Hunter. Rather than agendize the matter, he directed that staff submit
a report and that further improvements be put in "limbo" until something is
done.
City Manager Ruth stated that a report would be submitted.
114/10~; METHOD OF APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSION:
Councilman Pickler. He previously talked about each Council Member appointing
their own Commissioner or Board Member on City Boards and Commissions. He
feels there should be fair representation on those Boards and Commissions. He
suggests that Council Members make appointments and those members be confirmed
by a majority and then the two additional members, if a 7-member Board, be
appointed at large. It is something the Council has discussed in the past and
he would like to open it for discussion.
Councilman Daly. He prefers the system as it is now.
Mayor Hunter. He feels the issue should be put on the shelf. He was leaning
in the direction as proposed by Councilman Pickler. There is no appointee
that he has nominated on any of the City's Boards or Commissions. However,
the Charter provides that the Council shall appoint members by a majority. He
does not believe the matter should be pursued further at this time.
Councilwoman Kaywood. Anaheim is outstanding in many areas and one is
continuity on Boards and Commissions and politics is removed because there is
not one person who can tell a particular person what to do.

City Hal%, Anohetm. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 19, 1990, 5;30 P,M,
114; CANCELLATION OF COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 7. 1990; Mayor Hunter. It
appears a majority of the Council may be attending the Los Angeles Rams
Football Game scheduled to be played in Berlin on August 11, 1990.
Consequently, it is likely there will be no Council meeting that date since at
this time it is possible that four Council Members will be absent. He asked
if a motion was necessary.
City Attorney White. Because it is a regular meeting, if three Members of the
Council are present or if there is an emergency, then there would be a
meeting, so a motion would be moot. A Council meeting will not be scheduled
for that date.
RECESS: By general consent the Council recessed to Closed Session.
(8:22 p.m.)
AFTER RECESS; The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (9:46 p.m.)
