recognized ten graduates of the 2003 Community Emergency Response Team training

JOINT AGENCY/COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING:
Mayor Pringle reconvened the City Council at 5:38 P.M. to consider the joint public hearing for a
Cooperation Agreement between the Agency and the City for implementation of the Five Points
Building Historic Rehabilitation Project.
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the Cooperation Agreement
between the Agency and the City for implementation of the Five Points Building Historic
Rehabilitation Project.
RESOLUTION NO. 2003R-238 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM approving a Disposition and Development Agreement by and
between the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency *and Clean City, Inc. regarding certain
property at the southwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and West Street and making certain
environmental and other findings in connection therewith.
Elisa Stipkovich, Community Development Executive Director, reported the joint hearing item
required action on the Cooperation Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and the
City of Anaheim and the Disposition and Development Agreement with Clean City, Inc. Ms.
Stipkovich stated the Cooperation Agreement conveyed remnant parcels acquired for the
infrastructure project at West Street and Lincoln Avenue to the Redevelopment Agency and
allocated funding from the City of Anaheim to the Agency. The funding consisted of $465,000 in
HOME Partnership Program funds and $400,000 in Community Development Block Grant
funds. Ms. Stipkovich indicated the Disposition and Development Agreement conveyed the
land at the southwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and West Street to Clean City. Clean City
would rehabilitate the Five Points building on that site and provide four affordable units to the
Agency for 55 years. Ms. Stipkovich remarked the developer would fund approximately
$1,100,000 in rehabilitation costs. Ms. Stipkovich also noted the Agency would convey the land
and carry back a note for $334,000 to be turned into a participating loan, with the
Redevelopment Agency receiving the lesser of 30 percent of net sale proceeds after the
developer costs were reimbursed or the value of the site plus 1 percent per year over a 20-year
period. If there was no sale in 20 years, the note was due and payable and an appraisal
performed to establish those values. Additionally, in the disposition agreement, Ms. Stipkovich
pointed out the developer had 60 days to negotiate with the Redevelopment Agency for an
adjacent parcel which was a single family home which the Agency would like to see
rehabilitated and sold for home ownership.
Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing.
Cherie McCracken expressed concern over the taking of property.

ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA: City Clerk Sheryll Schroeder clarified Item A5.
Ms. Schroeder stated the bid of Petro Diamond Inc. for $1,300,000, included an estimated
150,520 gallons of diesel #2, 610,173 gallons of 89-octane unleaded fuel and 75,000 gallons of
the noted 91-octane unleaded gasoline. The fuel would be used to supply Fire, Police, Utilities,
Parks and Public Works Departments. Mayor Pringle confirmed the clarification was to correct
an error in the agenda.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
James Robert Reade requested a video tape related to the Contreras traffic accident be played
during oral communications. The video tape was allowed, however, Mayor Pringle commented
that Council had not discussed whether multi-media presentations were allowed during public
comments and would bring up that issue later.
Pauline Berry, President of Anaheim Senior Citizen's Club, spoke on behalf of the bingo
players. Ms. Berry stated the Club currently had a permit to play bingo one day a week and was
requesting a change to two days a week. Ms. Berry indicated records of cash payouts were
kept up to date and available for review with the bingo players collecting no more than $100
each week.
City Manager David Morgan confirmed that the current permit allowed bingo one day a week.
Mr. Morgan said he would work with the City Attorney's office and code enforcement to provide
Council with information as to what went into that policy decision. Additionally, Mr. Morgan
noted he would provide information as to how many clubs had filed similar permits with the City.
Mayor Pringle recommended Ms. Berry follow up with the City Manager's office as no change to
the bingo permit had been formally requested.
Larry Vandenberg announced the Fire Department's 16 bicycle riders participating in the charity
fall bicycle riding event, had donated $12,077 gained from pledges and t-shirt sales to the
Orange County Burn Association. A photo of the donated check was presented to Council.
Amin David thanked Council for lessening the penalties for code enforcement violations and
spoke of the specific impact the change had on one businessowner.
Lee Allen Alexander, Anaheim attorney involved in code enforcement, spoke of using less harsh
civil penalties rather than criminal prosecution for small business owners with code violations.
Cherie McCracken disputed Item A 16, explaining the funds were not effectively used.
William Fitzgerald, one of the directors of Anaheim Homeowners Maintaining Their
Environment, explained they were a group of homeowners who lived near Disneyland and were
exposed to the daily Disneyland fireworks pollution. Mr. Fitzgerald stated Council was given a
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

copy of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) study conducted on air
pollution resulting from Disney fireworks. He felt the study proved there were dangerous toxins
and carcinogenic chemicals in the air pollution and that Disney Corporation mislead Council in
believing the fallout was harmless to Anaheim residents. He further stated that Council had the
authority to withdraw the fireworks permit. Mr. Fitzgerald indicated SCAQMD had scheduled a
meeting with their Stationary Emission Committee to discuss the Disneyland fireworks pollution
on Friday, January 23,2004 at 10:30 A.M. at their Diamond Bar headquarters and that Disney
and the homeowners association had been invited to give testimony. Mr. Fitzgerald believed
the City of Anaheim should also attend.
Jeff Wright introduced himself as a resident who had applied for an appointment to the
Sesquicentennial Commission. Mr. Wright indicated he was a native of Anaheim, had a passion
for the City and looked forward to working for citizens of the community.
After closing the public comment portion of the agenda, Mayor Pringle stated Council wanted to
ensure they comply with state law and properly afford every citizen the right to present at public
comments. He explained Anaheim's policy provided three minutes for anyone to speak on any
issue during public comments. Requesting clarification from the City Attorney, Mayor Pringle
asked if public comments permitted a video or multi-media presentation. City Attorney Jack
White pointed out provisions contained in the Brown Act for conducting public meetings did not
specifically require that Council permit multi-media presentation or anything other than direct
testimony. The Brown Act, stated Mr. White, further provided for Council to adopt reasonable
rules related to the conduct of the Council meeting and that Anaheim had adopted a 3-minute
time limit. Mayor Pringle requested an amendment to Council policy to limit public comments to
those made orally by a presenter. Mr. White indicated he would provide the policy change at a
future meeting for Council consideration.

Council Member Tait requested the Public Utilities General Manager to address the issue of a
pumping surcharge on the utility bill. Marcie Edwards, Public Utilities General Manager,
explained Item A22 had to do with consolidating two portions of the current water rates and
energy charge with the overall commodity charge. Ms. Edwards explained there was no net
change in revenue flow to the utility. A component that still remained on the bill was called the
capital surcharge and had to do with the fact when developers built the pumping stations that
pressurize the water system in the Hill and Canyon areas, the cost for that infrastructure was
allocated to those 7,800 customers in those areas. Ms. Edwards confirmed the cost was then
paid back to the developer by a bill surcharge over time and all of those contracts would sunset
by year 2011 with the surcharge dropping off the bill at that time.

RESOLUTION NO.: 2003R-244 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM Approving An Amendment To Certain Conditions Of Approval In
Conditional Use Permit No. 2670 and Amending Resolution NO. PC-85-4 As Amended
Sherri Vander Dussen, Planning Director, reported EI Patio Restaurant had appealed a decision
of the Planning Commission regarding its permit to operate a restaurant at 1750 W. La Palma
Avenue. Ms. Vander Dussen stated on October 30, 2003, the Planning Commission approved
the applicant's request to reinstate extended hours of operation for the restaurant which also
served alcoholic beverages. The reinstatement was approved for a period of two years to allow
for a future review to determine if applicant operated the facility in compliance with conditions of
approval and demonstrated the use was not disturbing the adjacent residential neighborhood. It
was noted by Ms. Vander Dussen that the applicant appealed the Commission's decision to the
Council after realizing the conditions approved by Commission relating to hours and method of
charging for its buffet were not totally compatible with their intended operations. Ms. Vander
Dussen indicated staff and the applicant had met and agreed upon revised wordings to two of
the Commission's conditions. The revisions allowed an extended closing time for 12 specified
holidays and clarified how payment would be collected for the buffet and provided that collection
would not occur at the door. An amendment to the conditions as proposed still allowed the
applicant to operate as a restaurant in conformance with code requirements. Ms. Vander
Dussen stated staff recommended Council uphold the Commission's decision for a 2-year
reinstatement of extended hours of operation including the revision to the two conditions as
outlined on page 2 of the staff report.
Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing.
Beatriz Quintero, applicant, agreed to the conditions as outlined. Responding to the applicant's
question relating to Sundays, Sherri Vander Dussen clarified the condition as proposed would
allow closing at midnight on Sundays and the modification to the hours was for holidays only.
With no further comments received, Mayor Pringle closed the public hearing. Council Member
Tait moved to approve CEQA finding of Categorically Exempt, Class I and to adopt Resolution
