APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of April 15, 1965 were approved as written and
mailed.
PARKING LOT LAYOUT
Mr. Ralph Pease presented the basic parking lot layout as of this date, He
explained that the plans are not finalized but the Commission would be able
to get an idea of what some of the problems are. He described the theories
and rejections of past presentations.
Mr. Pease said that they have a figure from the Angels as to how long it takes
a car to go through a cashier (in seconds). He explained that there is informa-
tion coming from Houston to further verify this figure. If these figures are
correct they w~ll be able to take the cars into the stadium faster than they
can flow from the streets. At the present time there are 9,900 parking spaces
which will probably be increased to 11,900 and this figure is 100 less than the
12,000 guaranteed to the Angels.
In summarization, Mr. Pease and Mr. Liegler stated that there are many details
that have to be finalized before the plans are complete.
PROPOSAL ON INFORMAL GROUP
Mr. Liegler and Mr. Watts presented their recommendation to the Commission re-
garding the formation of an informal group. It was as follows:
ANAHEIM STADIUM COMMISSION MINUTES April 22, 1965
PROPOSAL ON INFORMAL GROUP (Continued)
"The Stadium Commission hereby recommends that the Stadium and
Convention Center Manager be authorized to seek advice and counsel
from an informal group composed of representatives from Disneyland,
Melodyland, Anaheim Union High School District, and the Anaheim
Area Visitors and Convention Bureau, in order to avoid a conflict
in bookings of a common nature and to attract (1) Conventions,
(2) Trade Shows, (3) Theatricals, (4) Sporting Events, (5) and
other productions of acceptable standards."
During the discussion that followed Commissioner Currier presented the
hypothetical situation where the informal advisory group would reject our
inquiry of any promoter and then turn around and schedule the promoter them-
selves. The Commission replied that the group is, as stated, an advisory
group only and the decision will remain with the Stadium and Convention Center
Manager and the Stadium Commission.
MOTION:
Commissioner Glover moved to approve the proposed statement of
policy as outlined in relation to an informal group. Seconded
by Commissioner Currier. Motion carried.
ADDITIONAL REVIEW OF RENTAL POLICIES
The typed copies of the breakdown prepared by Commissioner Hughes were distributed
to the Commission for addition to their portfolio. Mr. Liegler suggested that
further review be postponed until the next meeting when Commissioner Hughes would
be present.
REVIEW OF NOTES BY CONVENTION CENTER ADVISORS
Mr. Liegler had obtained copies of past memorandums of meetings between the City
and advisors for the Convention Center. From these memorandums he will prepare
a synopsis of the various items of interest to the Commission, and submit it at
the next meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Glover moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Commissioner Currier.
Motion carried.
Adjourned: 3:30 P.M.
