ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINTUES JUNE 10,2003 PAGE 3 James Reade said that Adelphia censored public comments of the Council meetings. Jack Marston expressed his disappointment that Council had already made up their mind to remove the criminal violation for an infraction of any single CUP condition. He stated that by removing the 1999 condition, the Council was making it easier for people to violate the CUP and adding an unnecessary step in prosecuting violators. William Smith spoke about the tree ordinances for the preservation, safety and beauty of neighborhoods. He stated that some of the codes for the trees might be outdated and asked that Council review them. Cynthia Ward expressed disappointed with Councils' statements of last week regarding violations of CUP's. She felt businesses should be held accountable to the conditions that were originally put on the property. She added that business owners could go back to the Planning Commission and ask for a change in the CUP's at a later date if they chose. Emily Sharp stated that she, and many others who came to City Council last week, left upset that Council did not support those who spoke in favor of holding violators of CUP's as criminals. Victor Real said that he supported the 1999 version of the CUP's to treat violators as criminals. Alma Rameriz said that Code Enforcement did not go after the slumlords and businesses, but after the ones who lived under horrific and deplorable conditions. David Helland asked Council to explain the issue of decrimalizing and crimalizing violations of CUP's. Mayor Pringle stated that this part of the Council meeting was for public comments and not for Council discussion on Item A35. He added that Council would provide an explanation later in the meeting. Judithanne Gillette, representing WAND, stated that many of the people who live in Anaheim are living in fear of homeowners and businesses that are not obeying their CUP's. She said she desired a citizen committee to meet with violators and come to a conclusion. Susan Holmes asked Council to reconsider the approval of Item A35. She stated that there was an abandoned home in her neighborhood and until Code Enforcement billed the bank that owned the home, nothing was done to keep up minimal appearance. Mayor Pringle explained to Ms. Holmes that the house that she was referring to was not a house that had a CUP attached to it. He said that her statements about the house were not applicable to the Code regarding CUP's. He stated that the function of Code Enforcement, as it applied to this house, was not on the floor at this time. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINTUES JUNE 10, 2003 PAGE 4 William Blume said that workers on construction site of the new Anaheim Hills clubhouse were being intimated regarding an appropriate wage rate. He informed that he was denied access to the site and said there should be an investigation using the pay stubs of the construction workers to make sure that they were getting paid the correct amount. Mayor Pringle asked the City Manager to check into this issue. Loraina Gonzales questioned why the City did not participate in Megan's Law. Mayor Pringle declared a conflict of interest and left the dais. Mayor Pro Tern continued the meeting, asking the City Manager to provide a report on the item. City Manager Morgan said that when this came up before, there were certain court cases pending on the legality of participating in Megan's Law. He said that was some time ago and he would provide current information. He added that he knew that some agencies were participating and some were not. Mayor Pringle returned to the Chambers. Consent Calendar: Items A 1 - A36 Council Member Tait asked that Item A6 and Item A35 be removed for separate action. Council Member McCracken asked that Item A27 be removed for separate action. Mayor Pringle removed Item A 10 for discussion as well as Item A 23.

Authorize the Department of Public Works to give notice of the avoidance of automatic extension for years two through eight of the Solid Waste Franchise previously awarded to Taormina Industries (Republic Industries) and to enter into a written agreement to reinstate the automatic extension for years nine through fifteen of the franchise. Mayor Pringle asked the City Manager for further explanation. City Manager Morgan stated currently the City, in its contract with the waste hauler, had an evergreen clause for 15 years. That meant, he explained, that at the end of every year, minus some initiative or action by the City, the contract was extended again for one more year or 15 years going on out. This was a provision included in the agreement years ago when it made sense from a capital point of view, he noted. He 123 123 ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINTUES JUNE 10, 2003 PAGE 6 said that outside expertise was sought to determine what type of evergreen clause would make sense at this time. The recommendation was a seven-year evergreen provision, therefore putting the City in a position of getting out of an agreement if they needed to. Mayor Pringle asked if the agreement was always a 15-year agreement and if the City did not have a cause of action, would the agreement renew for another 15 years. He wondered if the City was trying to take it down to the seven-year time frame. City Manager Morgan responded affirmatively.

A23. RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM authorizing the Chief of Police to submit a grant application on behalf of the City of Anaheim to the Office of Traffic Safety for the California Seat Belt Compliance Campaign. Mayor Pringle said he asked that Item A23 be removed for purposes of finding out more about the item. City Manager Morgan said this was called a mini-grant to make funds available to coincide with the compliance campaign that the state was sponsoring to increase the usage of seat belts. He noted these dollars would help supplement the department funding to participate in the campaign to increase awareness and enforcement. Mayor Pringle said that he understood that the item would approve overtime money for supervisors and administrative personnel during this period. He explained that told him that the way the City was looking to educate people on the intelligent use of seat belts was to stop people for not wearing seat belts and he wanted to know if the police stopped people who were not wearing seat belts. Chief Baker said they could stop people for not wearing seat belts under certain circumstances but for the most part it was done in conjunction with other violations. Mayor Pringle said that was what he hoped to hear and asked what the grant had to do with paying overtime. Chief Baker said that was for the Office of Transportation Safety, to provide an educational program, which was combined with other programs. The reason for the over time provision was because they did not want to impact regular enforcement activities. ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINTUES JUNE 10, 2003 PAGE 8 Mayor Pringle asked if the City was using something that the State created and he expressed a desire to know more about it. City Manager Morgan agreed to provide more information as to how Anaheim could participate in this program at the next Council meeting, June 17, 2003.

ORDINANCE NO. 5860 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM authorizing an amendment to the contract between the City of ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINTUES JUNE 10, 2003 PAGE 10 142 Anaheim and the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees Retirement System (Introduced at the Council meeting held May 20, 2003, Item A22) A32. ORDINANCE NO. 5861 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Section 13.04.010 of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to the Parks and Recreation Commission (Introduced at the Council meeting of June 3, 2003, Item A34). 142 A33. ORDINANCE NO. 5862 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Section 1.04.810 of Chapter 1.04 of Title 1 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to the Community Services Board (Introduced at the Council meeting of June 3, 2003, Item A38). A34. ORDINANCE NO. 5863 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY 142 OF ANAHEIM adding new Section 1.04.857 to Chapter 1.04 of Title 1 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to the Sesquicentennial Commission (Introduced at the Council meeting of June 3, 2003, Item A39). 142 A35. ORDINANCE NO. 5864 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending subsection .100 of Section 6.44.010 of Chapter 6.44 of Title 6 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to public nuisances (Introduced at the Council meeting of June 3, 2003, Item A41 ). Council Member Tait said that the issue came up three years ago and he voted against it at that time and was now seeking to remove it. He said he thought that the public thought that Council wanted to do away with code enforcement. He expressed appreciation for what Code Enforcement had done and explained that the current ordinance made any violation of a CUP, no matter how minor or serious, a nuisance under the Code, which made it automatically a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail. He said he had a problem with that, expressing concern about civil liberties. To have criminal violations for something someone did not even know they were doing made everyone a criminal, he said, and that was a violation of the Constitution. For that reason, he explained, he was against the requirement and wished to repeal it. Council Member Tait moved to approve Ordinance No. 5864. Council Member McCracken said she looked at the actual Ordinance, which was six pages long with small print. She said there were over 60 reasons for public nuisances. She pointed out that a violation of the CUP permit could be a sign on the sidewalk or a garage sale sign. She felt the Code needed to be worked on. She added that she was a great supporter of Code Enforcement but the Ordinance was not the answer. Council Member Chavez said he concurred with Council Members Tait and McCracken. To charge someone criminally for a minor offense was not fair, it did not benefit the City, he added. He noted that Council was not giving into businesses who disregarded their ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINTUES JUNE 10, 2003 PAGE 11 CUP's, what Council Member Tait proposed was fair and he would support adoption of the ordinance. Council Member Tait moved to approve Item A35, seconded by Council Member Chavez. Roll call vote: Ayes - 4; Mayor Pringle, Council Members Tait, McCracken and Chavez. Noes - O. Council Member Hernandez was absent. Motion carried. 123 A36.

At the meeting held March 20, 2003, Item 16, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2003R-81 declaring its intention to provide for an annual levy and collection of assessments in the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District. Doris Roush, Public Works Department, explained that this was a levy of the annual collections of assessment in and for the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District. The Anaheim Resort Maintenance District was formed on July 1, 1999 by action of the City Council based upon a vote to do so by the property owners in the area known as the Anaheim Resort. The owners voted a levy upon themselves to ensure the long time quality of maintenance, repair and replacement of the Resort Area. On May 20, 2003 Council initiated the fiscal year 2003/04 annual revenue proceedings by accepting the assessment engineers report. She added that this would generate 3.3 million dollars, which is deposited into Resort Maintenance Fund for their exclusive use. The Resort District Advisory Board recommends approval of Item B 1. Alma Rameriz said that the verbiage in A 1 says "rejects certain claims" filed against the City and felt that it should say "rejects all claims" filed against the City.

Report on Closed Session Actions: None Council Communications: Council Member McCracken announced the passing of Hal Parker who founded the Anaheim Sister City Association. Council Member Chavez congratulated the Anaheim Ducks. He stated the issue of Megan's Law was very important and a delicate matter that Council should look into aggressively. Council Member Chavez said he had a recent meeting with the Jeffrey-Lynn Committee at the Hermosa Village housing project. He stated that the parking issues there were different than other places; there was just not enough parking so a lot of the tenants were parking illegally. He noted there were hundreds of parking tickets being issued and he wished to have a more aggressive look at the issue. He informed that the tenants would like Council to open up the parking, at least temporarily, on the street. Mayor Pringle requested staff expedite the temporary parking provisions for the Jeffrey- Lynn area and get back to Council with some short-term suggestions. Council Member Tait congratulated the Ducks for their fine season, expressing that they showed hard word and dedication. Mayor Pringle also agreed that the Ducks exhibited great values and determination along with the Angles from last year and that it was great for a community to celebrate.
