come down but this rate was an extremely good one reflecting the excellent

165: REQUEST FOR REHEARING - PROPOSED MEDIAN ISLAND - HARBOR BOULEVARD TO
VERMONT AVENUE: Request by Gerald K. Grotle and Marcus S. Metzler for a
hearing on the proposed median island in Harbor Boulevard from Broadway to
Vermont Avenue on June 25, 1985. See letter dated June 5, 1985 cosigned by
Mr. Grotle and Mr. Metzler. Also see minutes of June 4, 1985 where the matter
was discussed.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, reported that the City Engineer was going to
request that all bids received on the project to construct the median island
on June 6, 1985 be rejected and that the project be rebid. There was,
therefore, no need to set a hearing as soon as possible since timing was not
now that critical.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved to set the date and time for a public
hearing on the proposed construction of a median island on Harbor Boulevard
from Broadway Street to Vermont Avenue as Tuesday, July 17, 1985 at 1:30 p.m.
Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
108/156: FALSE ALARM ORDINANCE - AMENDMENT REQUEST: Robert E. Wilkins,
Director of Public Relations, API Alarm Systems, to discuss amending Chapter
4.95 of the Municipal Code, relating to alarm permits.
Mr. Robert Wilkins, API Alarm Systems, 8550 Higuera, Culver City, 90232,
introduced representatives from Anaheim Plaza management and stores within the
Plaza, specifically Robinsons and Mervyns. Mr. Wilkins them briefed the
259
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 11~ 1985~ 10:00 A.M.
reasons for the requested amendment. (See his letter dated April 29, 1985
which discussed his request in detail). The subject area of the Alarm
Ordinance did not take into consideration the immense size of some of the
locations in the City such as Robinsons and Mervyns where multiple alarm
systems were installed. Ail buildings in the City regardless of size were
given the same number of alarm permits or one permit per location. He was
requesting that the matter be referred to the City Manager or an appropriate
committee for study and perhaps a subsequent public hearing whereby all
members of the community affected by the change would have an opportunity to
speak to the issue, i.e., giving allowance for the size of a location which
would in no way increase the number of false alarms.
A copy of report dated June 5, 1985 from Chief of Police Jimmie Kennedy was
given to Mr. Wilkins for his information which recommended that the Council
not adopt the proposed amendment discussing in detail the reasons for the
recommendation and noting that the intent of the ordinance was to reduce false
alarms which Mr. Wilkins' proposal would not do.
The following people then gave input for Council consideration: Mr. Ernest
James, Security Chief, Anaheim Plaza; Doug Martindale, Ex-Security Chief,
Anaheim Plaza and Linda Harrington, Mervyns Regional Loss Prevention Manager.
Mr. James asked that due to the size of Anaheim Plaza (75 stores) and its
exposure to environmental changes which can trigger their alarms as compared
to the potential in smaller businesses that consideration be given relative to
the square footage involved and thus an increase in alarm permits.
Discussion followed between Council Members, staff and Mr. Wilkins covering
the procedure followed by the Police Department in answering alarms, the
allowances given when there was a new installation or modification of an
existing system, etc. During the discussion, Councilman Bay noted that the
dollar amount involved in penalties for false alarms for Anaheim Plaza from
January 1, 1984 to present was only $1,100 (Mervyns - $200, Robinsons - $400,
Anaheim Plaza - $500). He failed to see a significance in that dollar amount
across the gross operations. The logic in Mr. Wilkins' letter made sense
until the point where it stated permits did not require a fee at all. As the
City Manager emphasized, the ordinance was not to raise revenue but to reduce
the number of false alarms.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to receive and file the report dated June 5,
1985 from the Chief of Police on the discussion relating to alarm permits.
Councilman Pickler seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
149/142: ORDINANCE NO. 4619: Councilman Pickler offered Ordinance No. 4619

106: PUBLIC HEARING - 1985/86 - 1986/87 RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN (RAP) BUDGET:
William Talley first referred to the data just submitted to the Council, a one
page listing of adjustments to the proposed 1985/86 - 1986/87 Resource
Allocation Plan showing adjustments made since wrap up of the plan over two
months ago, the total effect being less than a 5100,000 reduction in the
overall budget for this year with approximately 521.5 million next year
because of power supply costs. He pointed out two reductions of personnel
requests - the Fiscal Officer position in Human Resources and a Tour
Coordinator at the Family Foresome. With that reduction, the total positions
requested year-to-year remained the same or 1,910 positions. The budget
document, therefore, recommends no increases in positions in spite of the fact
that a number of areas are being increased such as in the Police Department,
by nine positions.
City Manager Talley then introduced and prefaced each department's budget
presentation, its location in the budget document, department in the line item
budget, and budget totals. Where applicable, he noted capital improvement
projects and issues that needed to be addressed by the Council (see City of
Anaheim 1985/86 - 1986/87 Capital Improvement Plan - also see minutes of
May 14, May 21, May 28 and June 4, 1985 where policy issues were previously
discussed).
The following Department Heads then supplemented their video presentation
given when the budget was presented to the Council on May 28, 1985 by
emphasizing either accomplishments, highlights, policy issues or capital
improvements followed by questions and/or comments from Council Members after
each presentation:
Executive Director of Community Development and Planning, Norm Priest -
Community Development and Planning Department:
Discussion - Policy Issues (Pages 47 and 50). Possible reduction or
elimination of Federal Revenue Sharing funds and Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds. Possible modification of the fee structure for business

Acting City~ Attorney Jack White - City Attorney's Office:
Council Discussion/Questions/Concerns: The extent to which recommendations in

Mr. White. Relative to the recommendations in the report perceived to be
implemented over a period of time, the following has been accomplished:
decentralization of litigation costs to various programs, i.e., general law,
land use and prosecution, emphasis/focus on the City Attorney becoming more a
part of the overall management team for the City. Other recommendations yet
to be implemented in the future upon a permanent appointment of a City

in one-operator cars, function of City Jail compared to that of the County and
why the need for expansion.
Chief Kennedy emphasized that his major priorities are the Communications
Center, CAD and Management Information System.
Mr. Talley stated a key issue for the Council to address in 1985/86 is a
policy determination on the proposed Police Facility expansion - should it be
built and how to finance it.
Library Director~ William Griffith - Library Department:
Discussion - Policy Issue - Outreach Bookmobile and funding therefor - $30,000
in CDBG funds for 1985-86 to help defray $84,500 in operating costs - proposed
to be fully supported by the General Fund in 1986-87 in the amount of 588,900.
Elizabeth J. Schultz, Chairman, Library Board submitted and read her letter
dated June 10, 1985 urging the Council to resolve the policy matter relative
to the Bookmobile viewed by the Board as a very important service to Anaheim's
minority community and one that should be continued. Other issues -

Staff requested to provide data on park acreage ratio by population in the
hill and canyon area compared to the "flatland" area.
Finance Director~ George Ferrone - Finance Department:
Discussion - Policy Issue - Mr. Ferrone recommended, relative to the Police
Department expansion, that the City move on a "fast track" to finance on the
basis that the interest rate market was at its lowest in five years. There
would be a very significant benefit in moving forward on whatever action the
Council decided in that regard.
Public Utilities General Manager - Gordon Hoyt - Public Utilities Department:
Speaking in Mr. Hoyt's absence, Darrell Ament, Assistant General Manager,
Management Services.
Policy Issues - (1) Undergrounding of existing overhead utilities (2) Water
revenue bond issue and (3) Development contributions toward new construction.
(See meeting of May 14, 1985 where the issues were discussed)
Council Discussion/Questions/Concerns: Effectiveness of the new Meter Reader
Program (questions answered by Ed Alario, Assistant General Manager).
Relative to San Onofre, both Units 2 and 3 are running at full power and, per
kilowatt hour, it is presently the City's cheapest power supply source.
Opposition to any move to charge rate payers across the board to underground
current utilities that are above ground was expressed by Councilman Bay. He
also felt another policy issue to be considered by the Council was a delay in
some capital improvements until the City was in a better competitive position
between what the City's rate payers and Southern California rate payers were
paying for their utilities.
Councilman Bay then referred to pages 10 and 11 of the Resource Allocation
Plan, reduction of funds and fund balances, Water Revenue Bond No. 80 and in
crossing over from June 30, 1986 to the July 1st balance, it appeared that
approximately $6 million had been dropped out of the subtotal and totals; City
Manager Talley stated that staff would research the matter and advise the
Council.
