Mr. John Fitzgerald, Financial Advisor, reported that bids were opened that
morning on the $27,400,000 Tax Revenue Anticipation Note issue. Seven bids
were received from six firms. The City instituted a new technique to allow
bidders to bid on all or a portion of the notes and as a result were able to
save approximately $5,700 in interest costs by being able to take advantage of
partial bids. The low bid was 7.9 percent, the high 7.26 percent - the firms
involved were First Interstate Bank, Merrill Lynch, Citicorp, Bank of America,
Smith Barney Harris Upham, and Morgan Guarantee. The combination of winning
bids involved three firms - First Interstate Bank for $2,250,000 of the total
at an interest rate of 7.09 percent; Smith Barney Harris Upham, $10,000,000 at
an interest rate of 7.13 percent and Citicorp, $15,150,000 at an interest rate
of 7.1699 percent for a total net interest rate of 7.1488 percent. They were

The Mayor declared Resolution Nos. 84R-216 and 84R-217 duly passed and adopted.
105: APPOINTMENT TO THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: Appointment to
the Community Redevelopment Commission for the term ending June 30, 1986 (Mr.
Herb Leo) continued from the meetings of April 17 and 24, and May 1, 15, and
22, and June 5, 1984). (see minutes those dates)
Mayor Roth
Councilman
additional
noted the Council had one nominee, Mr. Herb Leo, nominated by
Bay at the meeting of May 1, 1984. He asked if there were any
nominations.
Councilman Overholt stated he was going to move again to continue the matter
because he had been unable to reach Mr. Leo.
Mayor Roth explained that he had talked with Mr. Leo yesterday and also last
Thursday or Friday. Mr. Leo indicated his desire to serve on the
Redevelopment Commission and his mind had not changed in that regard.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to close nominations. Councilman Bay seconded
the motion. Councilman Overholt abstained. MOTION CARRIED.
The Mayor then asked for a roll call vote on the reappointment of Mr. Herb Leo
to the Community Redevelopment Commission for the term ending June 30, 1986.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Overholt again reiterated that Mr. Leo was
a long time friend of his. He (Leo) was a member of the Community
Redevelopmgnt Commission at a time when he acquired a leasehold interest in
100 South Anaheim Boulevard in the Chamber of Commerce building which was a
part of Project Alpha. The Council had received two legal opinions indicating
that for someone holding a position as Redevelopment Commissioner to acquire
an interest in property in the redevelopment area was prohibited from doing so
by a section of the Health and Safety Code. When that was brought to Mr.
Leo's attention, he immediately resigned as a result of advice from the City
Attorney's Office. If appointed it would be done on the theory that Mr. Leo's
leasehold interest in 100 South Anaheim Boulevard was a pre-existing holding
such as in the case of Mayor Roth who had an interest in property on Lincoln
Avenue at the time he was elected. That would be what he called a fiction and
he could not indulge in that fiction. His only regret was that Mr. Leo was
the center of any controversy in the Council but he could not vote to
reappoint him to a position he vacated because of the impact of Section 3201
of the Health and Safety Code.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing appointment of Mr. Leo.

Sohl submitted a letter dated June 4, 1984, received from WynnAnderson
resigning from the Public Utilities Board.
Councilman Roth moved that the resignation be accepted with regret and that a

his many hours of service to the City. Councilman Pickler seconded the
motion. MOTION CARKIED.
Councilman Pickler asked also that a resolution be drawn to be presented to
Mr. Anderson.

accordingly and that the earliest an appointment could be made would be in ten
working days. She pointed out that June 26, 1984 was the date to consider
appointments and reappointments to all Boards and Commissions.
Council discussion then followed relative to such appointments. It was
determined that due to budget hearings and a possibility of a Council Member
not being present on June 26~ that appointments and reappointments to Boards
and Commissions be scheduled for Tuesday, July 3, 1984.

prepare an EIR and denied Conditional Use Permit No. 2571.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by Domenico DiSanzo,
Agent, and public hearing scheduled this date.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Kathy Dine, 5106 Falcon, Long Beach, explained that the business was not a gas
station for the public. The depot contained over eight acres of land and the
truck drivers in the local area came in and filled up their tanks and parked
for the night. Further, they would only be serving the business area since
they were right in the center of a large industrial area.
Councilman Bay asked who Ms. Dine represented; Ms. Dine answered that Domenico
DiSanzo was the Agent. They were a partnership and she was the other partner.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if it was the intent to sell beer and wine as a bar
or strictly with the serving of food; Ms. Dine answered, with serving of food.
There being no further persons who wished to speak either in favor or in
opposition the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 84R-220 for adoption, granting
Conditional Use Permit No. 2571, reversing the findings of the City Planning
Commission. Refer to Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. 84R-220: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2571.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated if the beer and wine was
sold without the serving of food she would object to the Conditional Use
Permit. Miss Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, interjected and
stated she assumed the Council was including the condition, as proposed in the
staff report, as well as the stipulation that the serving of beer and wine
shall be in conjunction with the serving of food.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing Resolution subject to the following
conditions:
1. That street lighting £aetlities along Coronado Street and Blue Cum
Street shall be installed as required by the Utilities Ceneral Manager in

The Mayor declared Resolution No. 84R-220 duly passed and adopted.
106: PUBLIC HEARING - BUDGET: To consider the proposed 1984/85 Resource
Allocation Plan (RAP).
DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET PRESENTATIONS: City Manager William Talley prefaced each
Department's Budget Presentation giving the Page Nos. in the submitted budget
(Resource Allocation Plan Document as well as the line item document), Capital
Investment Projects, where applicable, as well as the budget totals noting any
areas of chamge, issues, or other items which needed further explanation or
Council Policy direction.
The following Department Heads then gave an overview of their budgets and
plans for 1984/85, and their achievements in 1983/84, followed by questions
and comments from the Council:
General Mana~er~ Stadium/Convention Center/Golf Course~ Tom Lei~ler:
Department 14, Pages 42, 43 and 44 in the Resource Allocation Plan
Document. Total, Operating Programs, 528,351,844. Capital Improvements,
5827,350. Budget total 529,179,194. Full-time positions, 93. No change

e
from $2.50 to $3.00. Mr. Leigler's presentation was supplemented by
slides.
Mr. Bob Messe, Chairman, Golf Course Advisory Commission, reported that
the commission budget subcommittee unanimously endorsed the Golf budget
as submitted and in doing so emphasized their continuing strong
commitment to the master plan.
Discussion then followed relative to the Carbon Creek Bike Trail adjacent
to the Dad Miller Golf Course, the improvements for which the Golf Course
Commission wanted to set aside at this time, the reason being the money
that would go towards the Bike Trail would be better spent at the Anaheim
Hills Course; Traffic Engineer Paul Singer suggested that the issue be
looked at again and subsequently the Council could make a decision as to
whether or not that Trail should be continued. Mayor Roth referred the
matter to staff.
Director of Parks~ Recreation and Community Services, Chris Jarvi:
Department 13, Pages 39, 40 and 41 in the Resource Allocation Plan
Document. Total, Operating Programs, $8,394,461. Capital Improvements,
$1,135,782. Budget total, approximately $9.5 million. Full-time
positions, decrease of one from 154 to 153. Increase in recreational
fees proposed averaging approximately five percent but not across the
board. Policy Issue - funding for the West Anaheim Senior Citizen Center
(Trident site) in the amount of $46,267 not included in the budget. Mr.
Jarvi's presentation was supplemented by slides.
In concluding his presentation, Mr. Jarvi urged the Council to support
the continued operation of the West Anaheim Senior Citizen Center. He
clarified that the reason for the funding request was due to the fact
that the County ceased its funding of the Center from County Revenue
Sharing funds. In order to keep the Trident Center open, they would need
an additional $35,000 for staff, $12,296 for other operating expenses as
well as an additional 1,850 work hours for the one staff person running
Trident. The Center had been a good one operating 35 hours a week. The
total use to date was 82,078 visits or an increase of 49 percent over the
same period last year. Mr. Jim Brinton, speaking on behalf of the
Anaheim Senior Citizens' Club urged to continue operation of the West
Anaheim Senior Citizen Center.
After extensive discussion on the issue between Council Members and
staff, City Manager Talley stated he elected to remove the funds from the
budget in order to get a policy expression from the Council because he
considered it to be a new service. If the Council asked him for a
recommendation, it would be to include those funds in the budget.
Councilman Overholt then asked if the Park and Recreation Commission had
outlived its usefulness.
Mr. Jarvi answered "no". He felt it provided a very important aspect to
their overall program. There were basically three significant issues
they had to face in looking at the commission: (1) Is representation by
616
City Ha!i~ A--helm; Ca!~fornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 12; 1984; 10:00 A.M.
the School Districts Justified in light of the fact that funding from
School Districts was no longer coming in as in the past. Consensus among
the Commissioners was that there was still such a need, and perhaps even
a stronger need than in the past, because (a) it provided a good
geograpb2[c distribution of members because they came from various areas
of the City; (b) the elected officials represented on the Commission had
good contact with the community and (c) there were a large number of
agreements and many capital improvements that had been funded jointly
with the School Districts making it imperative that they have a say or
input in the operation of the Department. (2) If the present School
Districts were to remain as representatives should they include Orange
Unified School District. Those Board Members were not elected from the
City of Anaheim and consequently may not be Anaheim residents, and
ineligible to serve on the Commission unless the rule were changed.
Mr. Jarvi indicated he would like to see representation from the Orange
Unified School District. (3) Does the Planning Conmu%ssion need to be
represented on the Parks and Eecreation Commission as a voting member.
Councilman Overholt stated he for one would be supportive of bringing the
Orange Unified School District into the Comm{ssion any way possible. He
also felt there should be a link with the seniors on that Commission and
perhaps a senior should be a member; Mr. Jarvi stated that there could be
an ex-officio member of the Senior Citizen Commission and it was a point
well taken. Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that Gladys Wallace had
been serving as liaison.
City Librarian William Griffith - Library Department: Department 08,
Page 29 of the Resource Allocation Plan Document. Budget total
53,914,766. No Capital Improvement projects. Full-time positions,
dgcrease of 3 from 673 to 670.
Mr. Griffith pointed out, as had City Manager Talley, that the only major
issue was the Bookmobile Outreach Program in the amount of 574,000 which
was not budgeted. Approximately 12 fund raising presentations had been
made relative to the program but the yield had not been substantial
(approximately 54,000). It was a worthwhile program and provided a much
needed service. However, he did not believe it would be proper to
discontinue some other part of the Library program in order to sustain
the Bookmobile.
Mr. Grifftth then explained in answer to Councilman Pickler that the
theft detection system had been deleted from the budget but he had
proposed to the City Manager that they use State funds for that system
wh&ch funds came from a new bill to provide State aid to libraries to
place the system in the branch libraries; Councilman Pickler stated his
thought was to take the 560,000 in State funds and use it for the
Bookmobile program.
Mr. Griffith answered that could be done with a favorable opinion from
the City Attorney's Office that the funds could be used in that manner.
617
Cit7 Hall~ Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 12~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
City Manager Talley stated they had not made a determination on the
$60,000 and if used for the Bookmobile program, Mr. Griffith would have
to find another $15,000 to fund the Bookmobile for an additional year.
The down side was that if Mr. Griffith had a cost benefit study showing
that the theft detection system would be a cost beneficial thing to do
and thereby save the City more than the cost of installing the system in
three years, that would have to be put off for one year. Then, the same
problem would still have to be dealt with again next year, that of
funding the Bookmobile program and what the Council wanted to do on a
long-term basis with regard to the Bookmobile. Was the Council going to
fund it from permanent City resources or subject it to a review annually.
Councilman Bay stated that one way to answer the question was to fund the
program in the budget on a yearly basis.
Mrs. Elizabeth Schultz, Chairman of the Library Board, then submitted
copies of letters supportive of the Bookmobile program and noted that the
Mayor had also sent her copies of letters received by the Council in
support. She, along with Mr. Terrell and Mr. Dahl were present today if
the Council wished to discuss the matter with them. They were fully
supportive of the Bookmobile outreach program. In answer to Councilman
Overholt, Mrs. Schultz answered that she did not perceive the program
going on forever.
4. Plannin~ Director Ron Thompson - Plannin~ Zonin~ Building and Business
License Division: Department 12, Pages 35, 36 and 38 of the Resource
Allocation Plan Document. Budget total $3,029,869. No Capital
Improvement projects. Full-time positions, increase of one from 60 to
61. Two issues for policy direction - numerous requests received
regarding the addition of Code Enforcement Officers, and hours allocated
to the City's Public Employee's Retirement System (PERS) representative,
Jake Petrosino. City Manager Talley recommended that Mr. Petrosino
address the Council if he wished to do so.
Mr. Thompson submitted and briefed a report dated June 5, 1984, RE:
Potential citizen request for additional enforcement staff for Fiscal
Year 1984-85 budget, (on file in the City Clerk's Office). He then
confirmed for Councilman Overholt that the budget did not contemplate an
increase in Code Enforcement Officers.
Mr. Bill Erickson, 301 North Street, stated he was in charge of the North
Street area (Neighborhood Watch) and he felt the only way complaints
could be enforced were through Code Enforcement Officers because many
complaints were too trivial to call the Police Department. He highly
endorsed adding one additional Code Enforcement Officer to the staff but
was vehemently opposed to adding three as had been suggested by other
groups.
Karen Kitzman, 1305 Wren, Apt. IB, Chairman of the Patrick Henry
Neighborhood Council briefed the numerous duties that the City's Code
Enforcement Officers had to perform as compared to Code Enforcement
Officers in Santa Ana. In concluding her presentation, she stated she
618
City Hall~ _A,-hetm~ C-lifornia- COUNCIL MINUTES- June 12, 1984, 10:00 A.M.
was present today to seek approval for the hiring of four additional Code
Enforcement Personnel, one for each of the target areas in the City. She
maintained that placing more emphasis on the Code Enforcement Program
would guarantee the quality of life in Anaheim.
153: Fundin~ of PERS Representation: City Manager Talley presented the
issue, the main points of contention, from administration's view, being
that Mr. Jake Petrosino in 1982/83 spent 256 hours on PERS time away from
his job as Planning Graphic Supervisor whereas 182 hours were budgeted.
The hours taken had increased each year and this year were projected at
approximately 240. Inasmuch as Mr. Petrosino was elected to represent
employees, PERS should pay for those hours. He did not believe that the
taxpayers of Anaheim should subsidize Mr. Petrosino's time away from his
Job. The City did not allow anybody else representing employees to take
off ail the hours they wanted to and Mr. Petrosino represented the single
precedent in the City. He (Talley) was requesting the Council to give an
amount of hours in the budget that Mr. Petrosino would be allowed to take
off, at taxpayers' expense, to represent employees. In turn, he (Talley)
would inform Mr. Petrosino that any hours in excess of that were going to
be on his own.
Mr. Jake Petrosino, Planning Graphic Supervisor, and elected member,
State Office, State of California, Public Employee's Retirement System,
elected by membership from cities, counties and special districts stated
that consistently in 23 years of service with the City, he provided more
than 40 hours a week. During that time, there was not one criticism of
his wdrk performance, amount of work or quality by the staffs of the two
sections he supervised. He served on the PERS Board of Administration
for five and a half years and was a senior member of that 13-Member
Board. He then briefed the Council on the accomplishment of the PERS
system in California which, he reported, was the only system in the
United States which paid a 12 percent Cost of Living Increase for four
years without raising the percentage increase to the employer. The
assets of the fund now exceeded $24 billion and they handled $25 million
every working day as a minimum. Mr. Petrosino stated he served as
required and he urged the Council not to follow Mr. Talley's
recommendation and allow him to serve as required as the Council had done
in the past. He also served in his Job as required which on the average
was more than 40 hours a week.
In answering Council questions, Mr. Petrosino reported that he did not
keep track of his hours spent on the Job in excess of 40. In his
representation on the PERS Board, he received per diem if away more than
24 hours, i.e., $62 for a room and three meals. Otherwise, he received
no compensation. He was not paid by anyone but a remedy had been
discussed and that was a legislative remedy through the California
legislature asking them to pass a bill to reimburse the City for the
hours spent; however, the City Manager had chosen not to do so. If the
Council accepted the recommendation, they would be doing so for the first
time in 53 years of the history of the retirement system. He also felt
that the City Manager did not want him to serve on the Board.
619
City H~]i~ Amaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 12; 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
After extensive discussion, debate and questioning which included Council
Members, City Manager Talley, Human Resources Director Garry McRae and
Mr. Petrosino, relative to the issues involved, Councilman Bay stated he
felt the issue was whether or not Mr. Petrosino was performing his City
job assignments, and he had not heard anything that told him whether or
not Mr. Petrosino was doing his Job or not. He assumed he was still
working for the City because he was doing his Job but he could not count
on that in his decision making. He wanted to hear from Mr. Petrosino's
two immediate supervisors on how he performed his job within the hours
that he did it. If there were no complaints, that was germaine to the
issue.
Councilman Overholt stated he did not agree that was the entire issue and
he was not sure it was fair to Mr. Petrosino to ask for superiors to come
out and evaluate him in public and he would not ask that; City Manager
Talley stated if that were the case, he would like to have a Closed
Session because Mr. Petrosino was a working supervisor and if he was
absent 250 hours a year, that was 250 hours of work he was scheduled to
do that he did not do. Over the last four years, whatever hours Mr.
Petrosino took off were in accordance with Council Policy and thus
supervisors were not going to criticize or critique him for that.
Mayor Roth stated he was not prepared to make a decision on the matter
today. He needed more information before doing so.
Councilman Overholt stated that Mr. Talley was trying to put a cap on the
situation rather than having an unlimited number of hours. If Mr.
Petrosino felt there was another figure that would be a reasonable one,
he would be interested in knowing that figure.
Mr. Petrosino stated that he could not answer that.
No policy decision was made by the Council at this time.
RECESS: By general consent the Council recessed for five minutes. (5:12 p.m)
AFTER RECESS: The Mayor called the meeting to order, all Council Members
being present. (5:21 p.m.)
City Manager Talley then briefed the Council on memorandum dated May 22, 1984,
from the Community Services Board which discussed the Community Services
Agency funding request for fiscal year 1984/85. He asked the Chairperson of
the Community Services Board to address the Council on the Boards
recommendations.
Mrs. Donna Gaston, Chairman, Community Services Board, reiterated the three
recommendations outlined in the Board's report as follows:
e
Fund those previously funded Community Services Agencies at the 1983/84
funding level of 5101,929.
Fund COPES 510,000; Episcopal Service Alliance 57,000; Independencia
Center $6,000 and Stop Gap $2,399 totalling 525,399.
620
City Hmll~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 12~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
Establish a phase-out plan reducing agency funding by one-third for each
year with total elimination of funding occurring during fiscal year
1987/88.
She then briefed the remainder of the report (on file in the City Clerk's
Office). In concluding, Mrs. Gaston stated the Board would like input from
the Council as follows: Whether or not the Board was doing what the Council
felt they should be doing as a Board, and did the Council feel comfortable
with the Board using the prior year's funding level as a bench mark on which
to base the next year's funding request.
Discussion then followed between Council Members and Mrs. Gaston relative to
funding levels and also the phase-out (sunset) plan as recommended.
Councilman Overholt, speaking to both matters, stated that there was no way to
indicate to the Board funding levels since as pointed out by the Mayor and
Councilwoman Kaywood they did not know what monies would be available.
Relative to the issue of phase-out of agency funding, he wanted to know the
proponents reasons for such action.
Mrs. Gaston explained the basic reason was because most agencies being funded
had been coming to the Board over the years and they should have the
responsibility to also go out and derive additional funding for themselves.
Mrs. Eileen Anthony, Member of the Community Services Board, first stated she
did not believe that all the Board Members felt they should get directions
from the Council as to whom money should be given and how it should be
allocated.' If that was the case, it would ruin the Board's effectiveness.
The Board should give the input with the Council making the final decision.
Secondly, one of the reasons the sunset clause was broached was due to the
fact that the Board continuously asked the different agencies to get out and
earn some of their money and perhaps the City could supply matching funds.
She had been on the Board for four years and none of the agencies had done
anything relative to going to the private sector to raise funds; they
continuously went to the taxpayer.
Mrs. Judy Olsen, Member of the Community Services Board, stated her reason for
making the motion on the phase-out was based on a personal philosophical view
point that government did not belong in the area of financing private
ag.hies. The funding requests had done nothing but escalate over the past few
years. It was time for the Council to assess the idea of whether or not they
should be in that area of funding. Agencies were becoming more dependant on
government funding and she did not believe that was the way to go. In 1983,
$64.93 billion was donated by the private sector to various organizations
which was an all-time record. In answer to Councilman Pickler, with her
philosophy if the Council so voted not to adopt the sunset clause, she would
approach it again next year and suggest it again. She did not feel there was
a conflict if that was the question. She emphasized that there was a need and
she was not arguing the merits of the program but was present to argue the
methods of funding. It was her feeling it should come from the private sector.
The following people then spoke on behalf of their organizations (also see
blue booklet previously submitted to the Community Services Board meetings of
April 26 and May 3, 1984 pertaining to the subject funding
621
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 12~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
which contained requests and back-up data from the 20 Community Services
Agencies requesting funding as well as a budget request comparison chart going
back to 1981/82 and recommended levels of funding by the Community Services
Board for fiscal year 84/85 (on file in the City Clerk's Office):
Carolyn Plettinck, Anaheim City School District, Child Molestation/Assault
Prevention Program, request, $6,600; Steven Kaufman, Program Director,
Christian Temporary Housing, request, $10,000; Beverly Carlton Hoffman,
Executive Director of the Volunteer Center of North Orange County spoke on
behalf of the Director of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program since the
Director of that Program could not be present, $16,389; Pat Giamarino,
Supervisor of Instruction for the North Orange County Regional Occupation
Program, Pre-school, request, $22,205; Diana Tumer, Home Helping Hands,
request, $8,400; Shirley Cohen, Director of Project TLC - Feedback Foundation,
request $37,362. Mrs. Cohen also explained that Anaheim No. 1 site
(St. Paul's) was asking for an additional $300 a month increase in rent and
the $9,000 additional they were asking for represented Just a small percentage
of their increased costs over the past year; Jeannie Blodgett, Youth
Employment Service, request, $5,000; Marsha Vickery, Executive Director, Free
Clinic of Orange County, request, $12,500; Dennis White, Executive Director,
Episcopal Service Alliance, request, $7,000; Doris LaMagna, Administrator, The
Villa, request, $20,000.
Mr. Don Halboth, Pastor of St. Paul's Church, location of TLC No. 1 site,
clarified that they were not asking for rent for the use of their facility for
the Senior Citizen Feedback Foundation Program. The $300 as reported by Mrs.
Cohen had to do with the tremendous increase in utilities costs experienced.
The Church was very happy to host TLC.'
Helen McConnell, representing Assistance League of Anaheim, stated that 95 %
of the people they were seeing in their office were residents of the City of
Anaheim. There was also a need for housing money in the City that they could
have access to for the next year.
Jeanne Blackwell, 507 Plymouth Place, speaking as a member of the League of
Women Voters for the Central Orange County area, stated she would be in favor
of phasing out the funding for Community Services Agencies, if they could also
phase out the disabled, elderly, homeless and hungry who desperately needed
the services provided by the subject organizations. To have City support in
part was very cost effective and the Council should be talking about giving
extra monies where necessary.
MOTION: Councilman Bay moved that the Council adopt the sunsetting proposal
as recommended by the Community Services Board. The motion died for lack of a
second.
MOTION: Councilman Pickler moved that the Council oppose the phase-out plan
(sunset) recommended by the Community Services Board which would reduce agency
funding by one-third for each year with total elimination of funding occurring
during fiscal year 1987/88. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay stated he did not know of any funds
that were available to cover the funding requests; City Manager Talley stated
the Council had two options. At present, there was nothing included in the
622
City M-ll~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 12; 1984; 10:00 A.M.
budget and by policy there never had been an account for that funding.
Traditionally the Council either directed the City Manager to find the funds
or remove the amount from the contingency funds. Currently Council had
approximately ~650,000 in two areas, a contingency amount of ~150,000 and an
amount for infrastructure enhancements yet undetermined in the amount of
$500,000 set in revenue sharing funds. The funds could come out of either of
those areas or the Council could direct that the funds be found somewhere else.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Councilman Bay voted "no".
MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION: Councilman 0verholt moved to approve the total funding level
recommended by the Community Services Board relative to Community Services
Agency requests in the amount of ~127,328 (funds to be identified and
allocated to Program 344). Councilman Pickler seconded the motion.
Councilman Bay voted Nno". MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Roth moved to adjourn. Councilman Pickler seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (6:50 p.m.)
