REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY: Demands against the City in. the
amount of $275,149.63, in accordance With the 1975-76 Budget, were approved.
ACCESSIBILITY TO PUBLIC MEETINGS BY THE PHYSICALLY tLANDICAPPED: Mayor Thom
referred to Council discussion and direction given 'at the meeting of March 30,
1976, that staff provide some recommendations on making the Council Chamber
accessible to the physically handicapped citizens who wish to participate in
Council meetings.
Report from the Director of Public Works was submitted advising that the
preliminary estimate for installation of a standard passenger elevator in the
Kraemer Building adjoining City Hall is $30,000. As an alternative to elevator
service, the report suggested an intercom system between the Council Chamber
and the Management Control Center at 114 South Claudina Street, which is at
street level. Estimated cost for such intercom system with television monitors
at each location were indicated to be considerably less than the cost for the
elevator.
During discussion, Council indicated that although they recognize the need
for a meeting place which is accessible to all, they did not feel the $30,000
estimated for installation of an elevator to be warranted, given the current
condition, age and projected utility of the City Hall building. Furthermore,
it was noted that the elevator would have to be installed in the Kraemer
building which is not City owned. On being apprised that the cost of the
equipment necessary for two-ray video and sound communication between Council
Chamber and the Management Control Center would be almost completely recovered
as this equipment could be used elsewhere when the Council meeting place situa-
tion is resolved, Council Members indicated this to be the better interim
solution.
Several spokesman from the Barrier-Free Anaheim group 'indicated that they
would not find "separate but equal" facilities totally acceptable. They
stressed that they wished to be present to participate in person at their
Council meetings.
7.6-248
~.' Z.~"~I,~:~:~ ............... AnaheimI California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 6~ 1976! 1:30 P.M.
Mayor Thom assured the group that the video and intercom system would be
an interim situation, to provide an immediate solution, while alternative space
for relocation of the Council Chamber can be sought.
On motion by Mayor Thom, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City Council
approved installation of a sound and television monitoring system between the
Coun.il Chamber and the Management Control Center, at a cost not to exceed
$10,000 to be taken from the Council Contingency Fund; said system to be
operational as soon as possible, preferably by next Tuesday's Council meeting;
further the Council directed that staff undertake a study on the relocation of
the Council Chamber in a street level building located within close proximity
to City Hall with report submitted to the Council in 30 to 45 days. Councilman
Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Y~aywood commented that it has been noted several times in the
Arthur Young & Company Audit Reports that additional office space is necessary
to efficiently operate the City Departments. Furthermore, the Citizens'
Capital Improvement Committee of 1968 designated a new City Hall as their No. 1
priority and if the City t~all had been built then it would have solved the
problem at much less cost than a building would today. She urged that instead
of the City continually putting money into interim solutions that they consider
that there is a definite need for one building to encompass all City services
and make these accessible to all citizens, She noted that a Council Chamber
,with seating capacity suitable for a City of 196,000 population is also
necessary.
REPORT - }4ANAGEMENT PRACTICES AUDIT - PLANNING DEPARTMF~T: (Arthur Young &
Company, complete report on file in the Office of the City Clerk.)
Mr. Ed Cummins presented the Arthur Young & Company Management Audit report for
the Planning Department. The summary comment on general operations is that
these are conducted in an efficient and cost effective manner. He summarized
the recommendations made by Arthur Young & Company and reported that the
Department Head has already made significant progress toward implementation of
these to date. The major recommendations were implementation of a simple
project accounting system in the Planning and Zoning Divisions to allow manage-
ment to effectively control and direct activities. Secondly, that two
currently budgeted but unfilled positions be deleted, based upon Arthur Young &
Company's conclusion that these positions are not required, given the current
and future anticipated work loads.
Mr. Cummins concluded that annual savings to be derived from implementa-
tion of these recommendations would be $115,000 per year, with a one-time
savings of $8,600.
Mr. Ronald Thompson extended the appreciation of the Planning Department
to the Arthur Young & Company for the fine working relationship which was
developed during the review period. He reported concurrence with the recom-
mendations and advised that over one-half of these have been implemented and
the remainder are in the process of implementation~
Councilman Seymour complimented Mr. Thompson on the fine attitude
demonstrated by his Department both in the aggressive implementation of the
Arthur Young & Company recommendations and in their daily contact with
developers and citizens seeking advice. He attributed much of the success of
the Canyon General Planning Task Force to the attitude of Planning Department
staff.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City
Council accepted the Arthur Young & Company report on the Management Practices
Audit, Planning Department, and directed implementation of the recommendations
contained therein. Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.
FINA/~CIAL AND MANAGEmeNT CONTROL SYSTEM - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES:
(Arthur Young & Company, complete report on file in the Office of the City
Clerk,) Mr. Tim Haidingerof Arthur Young & Company presented the Financial and
Management Control System design for Community Development Activites which is
the result of their work in Redevelopment. }Ie advised that the task given
Arthur Young & Company for this Department differed from the others in that
rather than a b~nagement Practices Audit, they were requested to develop a
76-249
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 6t 1976, 1.'30 P.M.
project control mechanism to be used by the Community Development Department to
determine the level of staffing necessary.
Mr. Haidinger submitted the report and advised that because of its
technical nature he would not review it with Council unless they specifically
wished him :o do so.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City
Council accepted the conceptual design and general requirements for an
integrated Financial and Management Control System for Community Development
Activities and authorized implementation of the recoz~nendations contained
therein. Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.
M~;AGEMENT PRACTICES AUDIT - CITY TREASURER AND COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT: (Arthur
Young & Company, complete report on file in the Office of the City Clerk.)
Hr. Doug Young reviewed the Management Practices Audit report on City Treasurer
and Collections Office in which there is basically no change from the draft
report. (Because certain information was included in the draft report which
was deemed advisable to keep confidential, final copies were not available for
presentation at this time but would be submitted as soon as reprinted.)
Mr. Young advised that one of the major recommendations for this Depart-
ment was to consolidate bank accounts thereby providing an increased amount of
available funds for investment. This was recommended and placed into effect
following the Cash Management and Investment Program Review performed by his
firm in July, 1974. In addition it is recommended that the City's accounts be
rotated and that the City request bids on service charges from the local major
banks which have the resources to handle the City's account. This would insure
the City's receiving minimum finance charges. Mr. Young reported that same-day
deposits, together with effective use of part-time personnel to handle
increased work loads in Collections Division, have also improved the City's
financial picture.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City
Council accepted the Arthur Young & Company Management Practices Audit on the
City Treasurerts Office and Collections Division and directed the recom-
mendations contained therein be implemented. Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION
CARRIED.

City_Hall! Anaheim! California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 6, 1976, 1:30 P.M.

regarding the effect of the proposed abandonment on the area, to which Mr.
Watts responded. Specifically he was assured that these sewer easements are
underground and there would be no danger to children living in the area.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 75-76-2 AND vARIANCE NO. 2733
(ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 156): Application submitted by Raymond Spehar
together with E.I.R. No. 156 for a change in zone from RM-1200 (SC) to CL (SC)
to construct a commercial shopping center north and east of the northeast
corner of La Palms Avenue and Imperial Highway with certain Code waivers, which
was continued from the Council meeting of November 25, 1975 pending General
Plan Amendment, was scheduled for public hearing this date.
Mr. Horace Camp, 1234 West Lincoln Avenue, representing the property owner
pointed out that the motion to delete the RM-1200 designation on the balance of
subject property was made after the public hearing on General Plan Amendment
No. 139 was closed. He advised that they are concerned with development of the
entire parcel and particularly concerned that subject commercial development
not preclude some .future economic use of the property to the north, tlc advised
that there are studies underway pertaining to alternate development of that
northern portion of property.
Councilman Seymour exploained that he has discussed this property with
Mr. Dave Stone of IPS, which firm had proposed the apartment development on the
northerly portion. He noted that the plot plan for the commercial development
in conjunction with Reclassification No. 75-76-2 and Variance No. 2733 clearly
indicates that there is no intent to develop the northerly portion with a
commercial use as was recently designated in General Plan Amendment No. 139.
Councilman Seymour voiced the opinion therefore that he did not think the
Council should take action on this southerly portion until there is resolution
as to what will occur on the property to the north.
Councilman Seymour explained that Mr. Stone has suggested the Council
visit an apartment development completed in Riverside which has the same type
of relationship to the railroad tracks as the property north of subject parcel.
Mr. Camp agreed that this is the position of the property owner. He urged
the Council to visit the apartment project site in Riverside and requested that
o ~

On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the
public hearing on Reclassification No. 75-76-2 and Variance No. 2733, together
with Environmental Impact Report No, 156, was continued for a period of two-
weeks to the meeting of April 20, 1976. Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION
CARRIED.

ments to the Housing Assistance Goals contained in the Housing Assistance Plan

public hearing held March 30, 1976.)
Mr. Mattessich explained that the proposed amendment would increase the
Section 8 Housing Assistance Goals in the First-Year Application from 200
units, new construction and 300 units, existing construction tO 400 and 600
units, respectively, with the following percentage breakdown - elderly 300,

REPORT - MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AUDIT - CITY CLEPJ~'S OFFICE: (Arthur Young &
"company, c'omplete copy of report 'o~ file in the Offic~ of the City Clerk.)
Mr. Roger Hoff presented the final report on the Management Audit conducted in
the City Clerk's Office. He outlined the scope of his review. He reported
that their general opinion is that the City Clerk's Office provides an adeguate
level of service to the citizens as well as to the departments within the City.
The basic recommendation is that a policy clarification be made by the
City Council as to the depth and detail of the Minutes generated by the City
Clerk's Office inasmuch as it is the opinion of Arthur Young & Company that
with some specific guidelines to reduce the volume of the Minutes, appropriate
reductions could also be' made in staffing levels and work completed on a more
current basis. In conjunction with the recommendation that the volume of
Minutes be decreased, it is reco~ended that tape recordings of meetings be
retained for a longer period of time. Significant effort is also expended by
the City Clerk's Office on public notifications of Council action and it is
recommended these notices be limited as well. It is further suggested that the
current distribution of Council Agendas, Action Agendas and Minutes, which is
wide spread both internal and external, be reduced.
Mr. Hoff concluded that with reductions in work load in the City Clerk's
Office, more time would be available to reduce the existing backlogs and to
enable future, staff reductions.
76-252
¢"~' ~'all, Anaheim) California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 6~ 1976) 1:30 P.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted that this recommendation is in contradiction to
the comments made in the report on Planning Department in which it is indicated
that the Planning Commission Minutes are also extensive, but are necessary.
She stated that she feels similarly about the Council Minutes. She also
questioned whether two years would be sufficient time for retention of the
tapes, particularly if the Council Minutes are going to be reduced
sign~ ificantly.
Councilman Seymour voiced his opinion that after requesting all other City
Departments to economize, it is the City Council's inherent responsibility to
accept recommendations which would provide savings in the Department which
provides services to them. He noted that the report compares the Anaheim City
Clerk's Office with cities of similar size in Orange County and this shows that
Anaheim has a higher staffing level with 9, whereas Huntington Beach has 4 and
Santa Aha 6 employees.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that the comparisons to staffing levels
given in the report may not be valid as far as Minutes are concerned, since
Huntington Beach and Santa Ana City Councils both meet every other week.
Councilman Sneegas indicated he had no problem with the intent of the
recommendation to reduce the volume of Minutes, however he felt that from the
information submitted, it is not possible to make a fair comparison.
At the conclusion of discussion it was emphasized by Mayor Thom and the
City Attorney that the detail and volume of }[inures is a question of policy
which can be determined by the City Council. Mayor Thpm suggested that as he
understood the Arthur Young & Company recommendation, it called for the City
Council to meet with the City Clerk and City Attorney to review the ways in
which Minutes can be reduced and establish guidelines to be used.
Mr. Hadinger offered the assistance of his firm in editing several sets of
prepared Minutes, striking out those passages which they feel could be deleted,
and these could then be circulated to the City Council for review.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City
Council accepted the Arthur Young & Company report on the Management Practices
Audit of the City Clerk's Office and determined that the recommendations con-
tained therein would be implemented through the Joint efforts of the City
Council, City Clerk's Office and City Attorney. Councilman Pebley absent.
MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Kaywood requested that the Cities of Huntington Beach and
Santa Aha be contacted to determine how far behind they are in their Minutes
and further whether they have constant referral to tapes if the Minutes do not
answer their questions.
Mr. Iladinger offered to obtain this additional information.
Mr. Hadinger advised that with submission of this report on the City
Clerk's Office, Arthur Young & Company has now completed their Management
Practices Audit of all City Departments. He expressed the appreciation of
Arthur Young & Company for the City Council's frank approach and the
outstanding cooperation received from City employees.
Council Members Thom and Seymour commented on the productive results of
the Audit and the need to follow through on implementation of the
recommendations to insure the potential financial savings become a reality.
AGREEMENT - .NEVADA POWER COMPANY - PURCHASE OF SURPLUS ENERGY: Mr. Hoyt sub-
matted a mem°ra~'du~' dated April 6, 1976 requesting aut'horization to enter into
an interim agreement for purchase of surplus energy from the Nevada Power
Company to be delivered on a "when, as and if economically available" basis,
pending negotiations on the long-term agreement which hopefully should be
executed by July 1, 1976. A copy of the letter agreement dated April 2, 1976
covering the terms and conditions of sale was also submitted.
Mr. Hoy~ reported that negotiations are underway with Southern California
Edison Company for transmission of power from their substation to Anaheim, in
conjunction with this proposed agreement and that it is his recommendation that
76-253
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - CO..UNCIL MINUTES - April 6~. 1976~ 1:30 F.M.
the Utilities Director be authorized to execute the letter agreement dated
April 2, 1976 with Nevada Power Company on behalf of the City and fur:her that
he be authorized to execute an agreement with Southern California Edison
Company providing for transmission service.
In response to Councilman Seymour, Mr. Hoyt advised that purchase of power
from the Nevada Power Company during the interim period of agreement could
generate savings of $2,500 to $2~600 per day but exact savings cannot be
anticipated because the amount of energy to be transmitted is not known; it
will be delivered when available and Anaheim will take all that can be
delivered, at the rates established in this letter agreement.
Mr. Hoyt reported that there is no requirement for payment of an initial
sum of money included in the interim agreement. It was also noted that the
rates established in this interim agreement would prevail from the date of
execution to July 1, 1976.

REPORT - ALL~EGED PROPOSITION NINE VIOLATIONS - VOTE COMMITTEE: Memorandum from
the City Attorney's Office was submitted in response to charges made at the
Council Meeting of i'[arch 30, 1976 by William D. Ehrle that the VOTE Committee
had failed to file a campaign disclosure statement for the period ending March
i~ 1976.
Mr. Watts explained that investigation conducted by his Office disclosed
that the advertisement which appeared in February was not paid for by the VOTE
Committee and Mr. Leo, Chairman of the VOTE Committee, further advised that
they had no receipts or expenditures to declare during that particular filing
period. (A campaign statement has been filed by VOTE dated April 1, 1976,
covering the period of March 2, 1976 through March 29, 1976.) Therefore it is
the opinion of the City Attorney's Office that there is no evidence that there
has been a violation of the California Political Reform Act by VOTE. Mr. Watts
explained that his Office intends to review the books of the VOTE organization
and if there is any change as a result, he w~uld notify the Council.
The City Council took no further action.

building inspection will not be made nor occupancy permit issued until the
final payment has been made.

MAIL DELIVERY - NEW SUBDIVISIONS: Councilman Sneegas introduced the subject of
'location of mail boxes in new subdivisions in Anaheim Hills. Evidently, the
residents cannot receive mail unless they have curbside mail receptacles.
However, in these particular subdivisions the sidewalks were built adjacent to
the curb without amy parkway and these sidewalks are now completed. To install
the mail~oxes at the curb would require that cuts be made into the sidewalk.
Council ~{embers indicated they felt this to be an unsatisfactory way to resolve
the problem inasmuch as the process of making the cuts into the sidewalk is
expensive and the installation of mailboxes in the pedestrian right-of-way
would prove hazardous.
Mr. Maddox reported that he has scheduled a meeting with Postmaster
Marshal McPic shortly and that he plans :o ~ake him out to review ~he problem
personally.
GREENBELT COMMISSION: Councilman Sneegas referred to the letter which he had
forwarded as Chairman of the Santa Aha River/Santiago Creek Greenbelt

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 6, 1976~ 1:30 P.M.
first quarter of Fiscal Year 1976-77 and informing each member of its
respective assessment.
Councilman Sneegas stated that because of the very strong support for con-
tinuation of the Commission and Coordinator by the citizens' groups involved,
and because of the fact that the status of the Greenbelt Implementation Program
is still Just short of ~o~al concept plans, he would support the continuation
of the Commission with budgeting for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 1976-77.
Councilman Sneegas thereupon moved that the City of Anaheim's first
quarter assessment of $3,738.00 be authorized. Councilman Seymour seconded the
motion. Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Seymour stressed that if the City Council deems it appropriate
to continue the Greenbelt Commission beyond the first quarter this should be
communicated to the Oran§e County Board of Supervisors.
FLAG DISPLAY-CITY HALL: Councilman Snee§as requested that a cost estimate be
prepared relative to display of the American Flag atop City Hall 24 hours per
