of Proposition "A", if passed (on the June 5, 1984, Primary Election Ballot),
or other sources.
In response to Council questioning, Councilman Bay indicated his intent to
vote "no" on the proposed resolution, due to the fact that reference to
Proposition "A" seemed to imply a political position prior to the election.

Proposition "A" and that Councilman Bay voted "no" prior to explanation of
this item.

142/149: ORDINANCE NO. 4501 - PARKING RESTRICTIONS: On May 22, 1984, the
City Council held the first reading of Ordinance No. 4501, which would repeal
certain subsections of the Anaheim Municipal Code and add new subsections
establishing no parking at any time restrictions om both sides of Brookhurst
and Euclid Streets from the north City limits to the south City limits.
Reverend Brian Crow, Pastor of the Euclid Street Baptist Church, was invited
to address the Council and he expressed concern about permanent restrictions
of parking on Euclid Street. He pointed out that approximately 700 feet of
Euclid Street, roughly between Ball Road and Cerritos Avenue, afforded
critical parking for the church. At Loara High School across the street,
there were well attended softball league games played on weekends, and if
their on-street parking were to be removed, many of those people would
undoubtedly utilize the church's parking lot. He suggested exempting a~y
parking restrictions on Sundays.
City Manager William O. Talley explained that the proposed restrictions would
be implemented gradually over a two-year period, and notices would be sent out
prior to restricting parking on each portion of a street. If any problems
arose, there would be a Council hearing prior to implementation.
Councilman Bay offered Ordinance No. 4501 for adoption. Refer to Ordinance
Book.

106: 1984/85 RESOURCE ALLOCATION PLAN: City Manager William 0. Talley
presented his 1984/85 Resource Allocation Plan message (see Page 1 of the City
of Anaheim, California Resource Allocation Plan, 1984/85 - on file in the City.
Clerk's Office).
The presentation would be a briefing of the transmittal message, Departmental
Highlights, and Departmental Programs and Projects.
At the conclusion of his presentation, Mr. Talley turned the program over to
Mr. Ronald Rothschild to give a bri~£ overview of th~ R~soure~All0cati0n Plan
Summaries.
Program Development and Audit Manager Ronald Rothschild gave an overview and
briefing on the 1984/85 Resource Allocation Plan S,,mmaries presented in a
series of charts and graphs which were copies of those documents submitted
(see documentation entitled - City of Anaheim - Resource Allocation Plan -
1984/85, consisting of 49 pages - on file in the City Clerk's Office).
Mr. Rothschild reported that the proposed 1984/85 Resource Allocation Plan
totaled $354,400,000, or a 7.9 percent increase over the 1983/84 Plan as it
had been adjusted to date, $328,400,000, or an increase of $260,000,000, 52
percent of that increase was attributable to the increases in the cost of
552
City Hall~ A--heim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 29~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
water and power production, and without adjustments, (which he explained and
as outlined on Pages 1 and 4 through 7 of the Resource Allocation Plan for
1984/85) the year-to-year increment in operating programs would amount to only
3.2 percent.
Questions were posed by the City Council and answered by Mr. Rothschild and
Hr. Talley.
Mr. Talley then set forth the following eight special items which were policy
issues to be addressed by the Council as part of their consideration of the
Resource Allocation Plan:
1. Fundin~ of Community Service A~encies: The request was approximately
$232,000 and Mr. Talley noted the increase in funding from $36,000 in
1980/81 to the $104,000 in 1983/84, a cumulative increase of
approximately 540 percent, while the City General Fund Revenues increased
approximately 20 percent. The Orange County Revenue Sharing funds had
been diminishing, going from $43,000 in 1982/83 to $41,000 in 1983/84;
and only $12,000 was budgeted for the next year, therefore some of the
agencies previously funded by that Orange County Revenue Sharing were now
approaching this City Council. No funding had been proposed in the
lW84/84 Resource Allocation Plan. The Community Services Board
recommended the same level of funding as the current year, and further,
that as the County of Orange has done, this level be reduced by 1/3 each
successive year until after three years, there would be a zero balance.
2. The West Anaheim Senior Citizens Facility: This Facility had been
supported by Orange County Revenue Sharing in the amount of $44,000 last
year, just under $42,000 this year, and would be reduced to $12,000 for
the coming year. No funds had been included in the budget, and a
spokesman for the Board had been requested to be present and discuss this
heavily utilized Facility during the Parks, Recreation and Community
Services presentation at a future meeting. $46,267 would have to be
added, together with 18,050 work hours in order to keep the program going
at the current rate, and establish a full-time Senior Citizen Center
Director position.
3. Bookmobile Program: In 1982/83, about 50 percent of the money came from
the general fund, 15 percent from Federal General Revenue Sharing, and 33
percent from Housing and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) money.
For the current fiscal year, nearly all the money came from Housing and
Community Development Block Grant, together with approximately $4,000 in
private donations. To continue the program would require approximately
$74,434 and 4,141 work hours or two full-time positions plus a part-time
person. No funds had been included in the budget, and there was no known
money source for this program.
4. Anaheim Historic Museum: $165,000 was being rebudgeted from the CDBG for
renovation of the building, which was carried over from the previous
budget as authorized by the City Council. The Museum group had requested
that the City enter into an agreement whereby the Museum would be
utilized as a local Museum and for related activities, for a period of 99
years, at $1.00 per year with the City being responsible for
553
City Ha!l~ A~heim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 29~ 1984, 10:00 A.M.
rehabilitation and restoration, bringing the building up to Cod~;
providing virtually all maintenance and all insurance except employee
insurance; and to further provide virtually all utility services. This
not being a City facility, nothing had been included in the budget for
operations and maintenance, and it was felt that these and other costs
should be managed by the Museum group.
Funding for the City's PERS Board Member: The administration was
bringing this matter to the Council since it was a change in the current
procedures. The employee's representative from this City on the Public
Employee's Retirement System - representing City wide employees - had
been funded by the General Benefits fund, and these hours had been
increasing to more than six-weeks for work that was contrary to the
City's interest, in Mr. Talley's opinion. A maximum of 80 work hours had
been included in the budget for 1984/85, with any excess to be provided
by the representative, un_less the City Council changed that proposal.
Level of Signal System Maintenance: An additional Traffic Signal
Technician tad been recommended to be added at mid-year, and the request
was for two positions. Currently, staff was at the level of one
non-clerical position for approximately 34 sigaals, in contrast to the
Orange County Cities' average of one technician for 15 signals. With the
increases in planning studies and development reviews, and signalization
information requests, the City Council might wish to address the request
for an additional Traffic Engineering Assistant beyond the one already
authorized, at a cost of approximately $46,000. Another Traffic
Engineering request was for additional contract signal maintenance, at an
approximately $85,000 additional cost to the budget.
Review of the Consultant's Recommendations on the City Attorney's
Office: The study of the City Attorney's Office was still in progress,
and there was no comment on any recommendations at this time; the budget
was basically set forth as submitted by City Attorney William Hopkins.
Revenues required to balance the Resource Allocation Plan: Approximately -
$715,000 was needed in additional revenue to balance the budget. It was
recommended that the Council consider restructuring the business license
tax and implementation of a paramedic fee program. A report, 'Revenue
decisiom package for the fiscal year 1984/85 budget" would be furnished
to City Council Members. This report would discuss these proposal~ in
depth. In order to maintain the fire service demands believed
appropriate, 18 sworn firefighters were being added to the recommended
budget, or two full fire companies. Also, over the years more than 40
sworn police officers had been added to maintain the City Council's
number one priority, therefore other revenue sources must be found to
fund these areas. Also recommended in the report was that the Council
retain professional consulting services to review the business license
fees structure which had not been adjusted since 1958 and was believed to
be out of date; a report giving rationale and recommendations for
approving an estimated increase of approximately $77,000 for permits that
the Fire Department was required to issue and inspections they were
required to make.
554
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Mm¥ 29~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
Mr. Talley further reported that certain projects had been included in
the budget on the basis of anticipation that Proposition "A"-would be
adopted (General Election of June 5, 1984). If not adopted, those items
would be removed, or refunded. In November 1984, the "Jarvis" issue
would be on the General Election Ballot, and if it were passed, the
fiscal effect would be substantial and the City Council would probably
want to reopen the Resource Allocation Plan hearing and make substantial
changes at that time.
After the foregoing presentation, the following Department Heads gave a
brief overview of their budget; Thomas Liegler, Stadium/Convention
Center/Golf Courses Director; Jimmie Kennedy, Chief of Police; Bob
Simpson, Fire Chief; William Griffith, Librarian; Ronald Thompson,
Planning Director; Norman Priest, Community Development Executive

106: DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET PRESENTATIONS: City Manager William Talley then
prefaced each Department's budget presentation by referencing the control
center page numbers in the submitted budget, Capital Improvement Projects,
were applicable as well as the budget totals, noting any areas of change
and/or other items which need further explanation.
Utilizing projected graphic illustrations, the following Department Heads then
gave an overview of their budgets, their achievements in 1983/84, and plans
for 1984/85 followed by questions and comments by the City Council:
City Clerk Leonora N. Sohl - City Clerk's Office: Department 04, Control
Center Page 23. Budget total $414,994. No additional positions, no
major changes; however a Councilmanic Election was scheduled in November
with no propositions being scheduled at this time.
Mrs. Leonora Sohl presented the budget, advising that an increase 6f
$52,095 was proposed for the 1984/85 fiscal year, most of which would be
accounted for by the Councilmanic Election in November. The three basic
functions of her office were to make information available, to provide
for orderly transition of elected representatives, and to provide
guidance in Records Management and Office Automation. Maintenance and
improvement of service levels in the City Clerk's Office had been
achieved without additional work hours through the application of Records
Management and Office Automation Technologies. Thirty-one personnel had
been trained in basic word processing plus 8 operators in glossary, both
at approximately 1/3 the vendor price and with more convenient and timely
scheduling. During the coming fiscal year, it was planned to offer
advanced classes and a Manager's Orientation to Word Processing classes
at similar savings.

Responding to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mrs. Sohl reported that
the cost of consolidating the City's Councilmanic Election with the
November General Election would be by far the more economic method for
the City to conduct its election. Because the June Primary Election
Ballot generally was more complicated, cost of consolidating the City's
election therewith had proved to be considerably more.
Director of Maintenance John Roche - Maintenance Department: Department
17; Control Center Pages 45-47. Budget total, $29,807,904 including
$190,000 for Capital Improvements. Mr. Roche presented the budget for
his Department, describing consolidation of certain divisions completed
within the past fiscal year. The new Fleet Maintenance Facility had been
operating for a month, and would be dedicated on June 7, 1984. The 12
percent increase proposed in the maintenance budget was primarily for
certificates of participation, and for developing cash reserves to cover
the $15 million fleet. It was planned to reduce the size of the fleet,
going to the smaller vehicles wherever possible. The Streets and
Sanitation Division would reflect a reduction of one parking checker,
with that program possibly being phased out by attrition and going to a
part-time work force.
Responding to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Roche explained that
the significant reduction in utility kilowatt-hour consumption, which was
accomplished through several means such as an on-going retrofit program
for fixtures; i.e., placement of infra-red detectors (heat sensors) in
conference room which turned off lights when no one was present, an
energy management system which helped control usage, and a new type of
energy saving air conditioner installed at the main library.
In response to question by Councilman Bay, Mr. Ronald Rothschild, Manager
of Program Development and Audit, further explained that the transfer of
Facility Maintenance Personnel (16 concrete repair maintenance people and
three street sign maintenance people) to the Street Maintenance and
Sanitation Division was adjusted in the previous budget year reflecting
the proposed organization plan, and therefore the dollars and work hours
were not reflected in the current Resource Allocation Plan.
Ruth Redepenuin~ - City Treasurer: Department 07; Control Center Page
22. Budget total, $663,689. Mrs. Red,penning presented the budge~ and
reported that her Department had ~mplemented some rather sweeping
changes, as recommended by the Internal Audit section of the City. She
briefed these changes and noted that within the first month, already
completed, man hours had been reduced and the monthly reconciliation with
the bank was accurate. Collection personnel had been increased by one
part-time clerical person; collection procedures had been changed and
service to the citizen was more efficient. Deferred compensation had
been monitored, and participation was now up to 30-31 percent from 12
percent. The Treasurer's Office was expanding into space formerly
occupied by Southwest Innovation Group, and she further noted that the
changeover from one bank to another should produce an estimated savings
of ~30,000 in bank charges.

Cit7 Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 29, 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
Mrs. Redepenning requested for the coming fiscal year formal Council
direction and approval of investment vehicles to tighten control, and to
investigate the validity of the use of a personal computer to facilitate
the Department's functions.
Finance Director George Ferrone - Finance Department: Department 06;
Control Center Page 27. Budget total, $3,169,642 with an increase of two
positions, both of which were in Risk Management. Mr. Ferrone presented
his budget and gave highlights of the productive improvements and cost
savings which had occurred during the 1983/84 fiscal year, in addition to
those which they hoped to accomplish during the coming fiscal year.
Although the budget was increased by ~371,000, or 13 percent, savings to
be realized would be as much as four times greater than that cost on an
annual basis.
Mr. Ferrone outlined improvements projected for the coming year, such as
issuance of a tax and revenue anticipation note, which last year had
resulted in an $850,000 savings in net interest; Risk Management had
developed and implemented a procedure to detect and track property losses
for recovery under the City's Fire Insurance Coverage; last year a
substantial reduction had been realized in the self insurance retention
levels; and the ability to identify and recover lightning damage to the
Public Utilities electrical equipment had already resulted in recovery of
approximately $275,000 in 1983/84. Further, a renegotiation of the
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance Coverage Plan was accomplished
during the past fiscal year, and this year that level was raised from $2
million to $100 million at a premium increase of 23.7 percent, which
should result in benefits of ~80 million per catastrophic event. A
savings of some $2,000 per year, or an 84 percent reduction was brought
about in the area of Earthquake and Flood Insurance required for the
Joint Powers Fire Training Facility for an increased level of coverage.
A total net savings of $30,000 was realized by implementing the
utilization of outside services for the review of worker compensation
medical billings; an additional savings of 3100,000 per year was
projected for concentrated efforts on an In-House Liability Claims
Adjusting Program, which was the primary reason for the addition of one
Claims Manager.
The Purchasing Department anticipated cost savings equal to more than
{110,000 savings during 1983/84, by identifying alternative vendors and
sources of product supplies, and by entertaining competitive bidding for
those products.
The Reprographics Division continued to provide printing services for a
cost 10 percent below outside vendor costs, or over $40,000 in the
current fiscal year. Another $6,000 savings was realized by doing
graphics for the City Council's monthly Financial Status Reports
internally, and in black and white rather than color; this procedure
would be continued. The mail division had increased the output volume by
approximately 16 percent with no increase in postage costs by utilizing
presort and bulk rate mailings. Finally the City's bond ratings had
substantially improved and lower interest costs for bond sales were being
realized.

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 29~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
Responding to question by Councilman Bay, Mr. Ferrone advised that
approximately two years previously a sophisticated press had been
purchased for the Reprographics Division which had the capacity to
perform work that otherwise would be taken to an outside printer. The
cost of the equipment caused the budget cost for this division to appear
higher, but a 10 percent savings was being realized through use of the
press, which was reflected in the overall budget for the Department. All
in-house printing and copying costs were charged directly to the using
Departments and usage was reviewed yearly on a program to program basis.
Human Resources Director Garry HeRa, - Human Resources: Department 05;
Control Center Page 124. Budget total $2,971,426 with no Capital
Improvements projected. Mr. McRae presented the budget and reviewed
activities of the current fiscal year; i.e., negotiating new agreements
with the Anaheim Police Association, Anaheim Firemen's Association,
Electrical Workers Union and the AnaheimMunicipal Employees Association,
and the creation of an Employer/Employee Health Counsel. Many other
changes had been made, including implementation of a Management Study
Classification, and an Affirmative Action Department Liaison Program.
The Human Resources Department had made an adjustment to the first nine
months of the JTPA (Job Training Program).
In 1984/84, it was planned to maintain the management compensation and
classification plan. Various studies were being projected, and the first
five-year review of the Affirmative Action Program would be conducted.
Regarding the Housing Repair Program, Mr. McRae noted that work on almost
150 homes had been completed within the past nine years, with perhaps
five to six hundred youngsters having been trained under the CETA Program.
Councilwoman Kaywood expressed an interest in making a comparison of the
incidents of crime among young people who had participated in the Housing
Repair Program with those who had not had the advantage of that
opportunity.
City Council and Community Promotion: Department 01; Control Center Page
19. Budget total, $2,717,540 plus $165,000 in Capital Improvements,
totaling $2,882,540.

presented the budget for the City Council ($899,711), and briefly
outlined the items included in this portion of the budget such as
Salaries and Stipends, Auditing Services, the Council Contingency Fund,
review of future appropriations, the ¥isitor and Convention Bureau,
Sister City Program, the Halloween Festival, Cultural Arts, Special
Promotions and the Anaheim Museum.
(b) Mr. William Snyder, Anaheim Visitor and Convention Bureau President,
presented the budget for the V & C Bureau ($817,829 plus $165,000 Capital
Improvements, totaling $1,982,829). He noted that during the 1983
calendar year, 106,000 Convention attendants had come to Anaheim, an
all-time high. Goals for the current fiscal year were 230 Convention
bookings for the future, 645,000 Delegates and 222,000 rooms; to date,
there had been a 35.6 percent increase over the past year in bookings, a
558
Cit~ Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Ma~ 29~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
51.3 percent increase in Delegates and 54.6 percent increase in rooms.
Goals for 1984/85 reflected 280 Convention bookings for the future (21.7
percent increase), with 737,000 Delegates (14.2 percent increase) and
245,000 rooms (10.4 percent increase).
Mr. Snyder outlined some of the activities planned for the coming year
such as advertising in eight publications, conducting "Convention Blitz",
and continuing the representation which the City had had for 12 years in
Washington D. C., as well as going into the first full year of
representation in Chicago, in Europe and in Australia/New Zealand. To be
given further consideration was representation in Japan, which would
serve all of Asia. Promotional trips were planned, along with national
and state-wide convention sales trips. Also outlined were brochures to
be produced during the coming year in five languages, along with maps and
poster, and advertising to be scheduled in magazine and trade
publications.
The foregoing concluded the budget presentations scheduled on the Council
Agenda for this date.
