Cit Ha~Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januar~ 1:30 P.M.
Because the present and foreseeable money markets offer only shorter terms
a~d higher rates, it was determined to investigate the advantages of financing
by issuing tax-exempt bonds, which would permit: 1) Long-term financing in the
current money market; 2) Lower interest rates; 3) Because of its tax-exempt
nature, the cost of financing would be about one-third less than the conven-
tional method.
Since a non-profit corporation is limited by law as to the amount of
surplus it can generate, the consumer or patient ultimately will benefit from
this lower interest rate through a lower charge structure, better facilities or
new and expanded services. He estimated the difference could amount to $15 to
$20 per patient per day, depending on the front end costs, coupon rate and term
of the bonds to be issued. Mr. Dahlgren explained IRS ruling 63-20 (103 A)
specifically grants hospitals permission to use this form of long-term financing
because they provide an essential public service; because the proportion of
hospital revenue paid by Federal, State and Local Governments has increased
annually and is now over 50% and may in the next decade reach 75% to 80% (100%
if National Health Security legislation is enacted). Since public funds are
derived from taxes paid by every citizen, any reduction in the per diem cost of
hospitalization reduces the ultimate cost to the government and to each and
every taxpayer.
To be effective, an enabling resolution by a properly constituted govern-
mental body is required to include: 1) A beneficial interest in the property;
property covered by the bond issue is deeded to the City when the bonds are
paid; 2) The City has the right to approve any changes to the Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws; 3) The City has the right to approve, prior to
service as a director, any member of the Board.
Mr. Dahlgren stated that there would be no liability to the City since
funds for interest and principal retirement are limited to revenue from the
bonded project. There is further security to both bond holder and governmental
agency through the California State Hospital Loan Insurance Act which would
insure the principal and interest throughout the term of the bond issue to 100%
of indebtedness and which also improves the bond issue from a marketing stand-
point. Mr. Dahlgren read a list of some hospital facilities in California
wbi. ch have employed this type of financing method.
In conclusion, Mr. Dahlgren reiterated that the objective of this presenta-
tion is to request an enabling resolution from the City Council of the City of
Anaheim declaring its intention to accept a gift, when tendered, of the Martin
Luther Hospital facilities which would permit the hospital to issue tax-exempt
bonds pursuant to IRS Ruling 63-20 (103 A). He advised that the underwriter
for the proposed bond issue is Miller & Schroeder Securities, Inc., Minneapolis,
and the Bond Counsel is Hawkins, Delafield & Wood of New York.
Councilman Pebley inquired as to what the City's alternative would be
after the 30-year bond period when it would receive the deed to the hospital
property, to which Mr. Dahlgren replied that the City at that time could either
accept the deed and operate the facility; accept the deed and hire management
for the facility; or refuse to accept the deed. In any event, a gift deed
would be placed in trust at the time the bond issue is effective and would
remain in trust throughout the entire term of the bond issue. He informed
Council that the maximum amount of bonds to be issued would be $18,000,000.
Councilman Seymour expressed interest in the proposal particularly because
of the $15 to $20 per diem hospital charge saving. In this connection he re-
ferred to Page No. 3 of the printed material submitted to the Council and in-
quired what assurance the citizens of Anaheim would have that these savings
would in fact be passed along to the people directly in the form of lower
charges rather than by providing better facilities or new expanded services.
Mr. Dahlgren advised that the $15 to $20 per diem figure is used to illus-
trate the fact that if conventional financing were utilized, in the current
money market, it would ultimately increase the patient charges by $15 to $20
per day. As a non-profit corporation they are limited in the amount of surplus
they can generate, however, they have not yet been able to generate nearly the
amount which the law allows. If they did, they would either have to reduce
their rates or declare themselves a profit making organization.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14, 1975, 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Seymour inquired whether the City might incur any liability in
the event the hospital should run into financial difficulties in its day-to-day
operation.
Mr. Watts advised it would be his opinion that the City takes on no liabil-
ity as a result of this arrangement. There would be created, however, an
association with the Martin Luther Hospital which previously did not exist
which might encourage an individual to think the City had some liability,
however, this would be in a rather prospective framework.
Further Council discussion ensued relative to concerns expressed by Members
of the Council that the City, through its enabling resolution, would be granting
this particular hospital competitive edge over other hospitals in the City and
consequently, Council should consider whether or not the City should become
involved in this agreement.
Mr. Dahlgren explained that because of the current money market situation,
as compared to the market when the other hospitals were financed, this would
not be the case.
Councilwoman Kaywood left the Council Chambers. (2:33 P.M.)
Mr. Watts further responded to this issue, stating that the only way to
make that determination would be to compare these estimated charges to those
charges made by hospitals which are also undergoing an expansion program. He
reported that the proposal would create no change in property tax revenues, the
hospital would remain exempt.
Mayor Thom recalled from his experience as a past Member of the Board of
Directors of Martin Luther Hospital that the rates charged at Martin Luther
Hospital were comparable to other hospitals, to which Mr. Dalgren agreed,
noting that Blue Cross billing figures averaging the cost of patient days
throughout Orange County indicated Martin Luther in the first quadrant.
Councilwoman Kaywood returned to Council Chambers. (2:35 P.M.)
During further Council discussion it was reported the adoption of a resolu-
tion enabling Martin Luther Hospital to use this type of financing would not
preclude the City's affording the same privilege to other non-profit hospitals,
of which there is only one additional in the City, Anaheim Memorial.
Mayor Thom felt the concept to be interesting and stated perhaps it should
be explored further by staff to ascertain whether or not there would be any
liability exposure as far as the City as a municipal corporation is concerned,
if the City were to adopt the enabling resolution.
Mr. Watts advised Council that the City of San Diego did obtain an opinion
from a law firm prior to implementing resolutions to permit non-profit hospitals
using the tax-free bonding method, on the very question of the City's liability,
and perhaps this opinion should be reviewed.
Mr. Oim Iverson, Miller & Schroeder Securities, Inc., was recognized by
the Mayor and reported on the circumstances of the request for the legal opinion
by the City of San Diego. He summarized that the basic philosophical question
which was posed at that time which now faces this City Council is whether or
not they are going to help non-profit hospitals gain the benefits of tax-exempt
financing.
The Mayor asked if anyone in the Council Chambers representing any hospital,
other than Martin Luther, wished to address the Council and there was no response.
Councilman Seymour moved that the Council adopt a position of intent o~
support for this type of financing and further asked the City Attorney to
investigate all legal ramifications, specifically as they would pertain to
liability regarding revenue bond financing and most importantly, any liability
which might exist due to an operational default. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Thom requested it be noted for the record that he formerly was a
Member of the Board of Directors of Martin Luther Hospital, which was a voluntary
and honorary position, from which he resigned 6 to 7 months ago shortly after
his election as Mayor. '

FRINGE BENEFIT PACKAGE AND POLICY - C.E.T.A. TITLE VI EMPLOYEES: Mr. Garry O.
McRae, Personnel Director, reported that it has become evident that the City
should establish a separate fringe benefits package for C.E.T.A. participants
because of their unique temporary work experience relationship with the City.
Mr. McRae outlined the proposals for establishment of policy relating to
holidays, vacation, sick leave, workers' compensation insurance, retirement,
hospitalization and major medical insurance, dental insurance, disability
insurance, life insurance and miscellaneous paid leave as set forth within the
proposed resolution.
Mr. McRae related that the proposal for fringe benefits for the C.E.T.A.
employees basically provides for the same medical and dental coverage, the dif-
ferences in coverage being in workers' compensation and long-term disability.
Although the funds for C.E.T.A. employees' fringe benefits will be forthcoming
from the Federal Government it is not quite clear how the City would recover
losses incurred under either a workers' compensation or long-term disability
case.
In response to Councilman Sneegas' question regarding the impact on the
City's experience rated rates by the addition of these temporary employees, Mr.
McRae advised that the overriding consideration in the preparation of the
health benefits package for the C.E.T.A. employees was that, by virtue of their
becoming employed, they would no longer be eligible for care through other
agencies and consequently there is some obligation to provide the health bene-
fits. Mr. McRae added that they are relatively confident that the use of these
medical and dental benefits by these incoming employees and their families
would be similar to that of regular employees, and on that basis, the risk
should be taken of including them on the regular City employees' health insur-
ance policy rather than setting up a separate health insurance plan.
Mr. McRae noted that because it is felt providing life insurance benefits
to the individuals employed on the C.E.T.A. Program would have a dramatic
impact on the City's experience rated rates, it is proposed to provide term
life insurance benefits separately so that the experience will ultimately not
be included in the City's experience package. So that the individual C.E.T.A.
employee will not be required to take out any of the life insurance premium
from his pocket, it is proposed, and has been discussed with Travelers Insurance
Company, that the Group I Life Insurance Category be provided, with a premium
of $1.58 for term life insurance coverage of $2,000 with additional coverage of
$2,000 for accidental death and dismemberment.

The Mayor declared Resolution No. 75R-13 duly passed and adopted.
Mr. McRae gave a brief progress report advising that of the 91 C.E.T.A.
funded jobs authorized last week, 29 people started work on Monday, January
13, 1975, and they anticipate that by the end of this week 45 C-E.T.A.'employees
will be on the payroll and all jobs will be filled by January 30, 1975. The
City Personnel Department has interviewed 373 applicants and have received
applications from an additional 266 individuals, indicating a substantial
interest in the program and attesting to the fact that there are substantially
more unemployed people in the community than these funds can'accommodate.
RE__~UEST - MARTIN LUTHER HOSPITAL RE GIFT OF ASSETS TO FACILITATE LONG-TERM FINANCING:
Request of Reverend Harry F. Stief, Ph.D, President of the Board of Directors
of Martin Luther Hospital, to make a presentation involving a gift of the
assets of the Martin Luther Hospital to the City of Anaheim, under certain
conditions, to facilitate plans for long-term financing, continued from the
meeting of January 7, 1975, for full Council, was presented at this time.
Reverend Stief, 700 West South Street, Anaheim, introduced Mr. Eugene
Dahlgren presently the Regional Vice President for the Lutheran Hospital Society
Board of Directors and Assistant Secretary, Martin Luther Hospital; Mr. Ronald
LaBella, Executive Director of Martin Luther Hospital; and Mr. Jim Iverson,
Executive Vice President, Miller & Schroeder Securities, Inc. He indicated
that Mr. Dahlgren would give their formal presentation, after which all present
representing the hospital would be happy to answer any questions which Council
might have.
Mr. Eugene Dahlgren, 1825 West Romneya Drive, advised that the goal of
this presentation is to request the City Council to enact an enabling resolution
which would permit their long-term financing to proceed and be facilitated
under IRS ruling 63-20 (103 A).
Mr. Dahlgren briefed the historical background of the hospital since the
opening in 1960 under proprietary ownership and non-profit corporate management,
noting that in 1963 the hospital's ownership was converted to non-profit. At
the present time, the hospital is both owned and operated by Martin Luther
Hospital, Inc., a California non-profit corporation. In 1966 a formal management
agreement was entered into with the Lutheran Hospital Society of Southern
California for the furnishing of all management services required by the hospi-
tal. He listed some of the other California hospital facilities managed and
serviced by this group and advised that management of the hospital by this
Society has resulted in efficiency and cost savings.
Mr. Dahlgren related that the reasoning behind the current expansion in
progress is that if a non-profit hospital is to serve the colunity in perpetu-
ity it must be able to expand and adjust to meet that community's needs. Based
on this philosophy the decision was made to build a permanent facility at
Martin Luther of Type I Construction, which permits remodeling without disturb-
ing the basic structure of the building; has the ability to expand with minimum
disruption to existing services; and offers efficiency and economy of operation.
He related the financial support given and pledged this project to date by the
James Irvine Foundation, the Hospital Medical Staff Hospital employees and
Women's Groups. '

PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 2637: Application by Howard and Victoria Loudon
for the following Code waivers to construct a 64-unit, 4-story apartment complex
for the elderly on RM-1200 (R-3) zoned property located on the east side of
Lemon Street, south of Sycamore Street was submitted, together with application
for exemption declaration from the requirement to prepare an environmental
impact report:
a. Minimum floor area per dwelling unit.
b. Maximum building height.
c. Minimum off-street parking.
d. Minimum number of covered parking spaces.
e. Minimum building site area per dwelling unit.
f. Maximum coverage.
g. Minimum recreational-leisure area.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC74-235, recom-
mended that the City Council declare subject project exempt from the requirement
to prepare an environmental impact report and further granted Variance No. 2637
subject to the following conditions:
1. That fire hydrants shall be installed and charged as required and
determined to be necessary by the Chief of the Fire Department, prior to
commencement of structural framing.
2. That trash storage areas shall be provided in accordance with approved
plans on file with the office of the Director of Public Works.
3. That the structure shall be classified as a Class D-3 occupancy, to
provide for fire sprinklers, etc., as stipulated to by the petitioner.
4. That the owner(s) of subject property shall pay to the City of Anaheim
the appropriate park and recreation in-lieu fees as determined to be appropriate
by the City Council, said fees to be paid at the time the building permit is
issued.
5. That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance
with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim marked Exhibit
Nos. 1, 2 and 3.
6. That Condition Nos. 2, 4 and 5, above-mentioned, shall be complied
with prior to final building and zoning inspections.
Review of action taken by the City Planning Commission was mequested by
Councilman Seymour at the December 17, 1974 City Council meeting and public
hearing scheduled this date.
The City Clerk advised that a copy of a petition originally submitted to
Council on December 17, 1974, had been submitted containing signatures of pro-
perty owners in the Pearson Park vicinity, who are opposed to the granting of
Variance No. 2637.
Zoning Supervisor Roberts briefly explained the location of subject prop-
erty and surrounding zoning and land uses. He reviewed the Code waivers
requested, comparing what is proposed by the Applicant to the minimum standards
as defined for the RM-1200 (R-3) Zone.
Mr. Roberts stated that the Applicant has indicated this apartment complex
would be a home for active, healthly, elderly people, i.e. for those who would
not require anything other than normal medical assistance. It is anticipated
that a total number of 80 adults would reside on the premises, and they propose
to provide complete facilities for these tenants including lodging, dining, and
transportation.
Mr. Roberts reported that the Planning Commission granted the Variance
petition, approving all waivers requested on the basis that the proposal repre-
sents a new concept and these waivers did not appear excessive or extreme for
the proposed type of development. The Planning Commission generally concurred
with the need for such an apartment complex for the elderly, however, directed
staff to survey a number of other cities to ascertain if the proposal for 26
parking spaces is realistic. The results of this survey have been compiled and
indicate that other cities have made no distinction in requirements for this
particular use. He further reported that HUD indicates such a proposal for
75-30
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14~ 1975, 1:30 P.M.
housing for active, healthly senior citizens may reasonably be allowed a reduc-
tion in the number of parking spaces by two-thirds from the parking standards
required for an apartment project, provided, however, that an area equivalent
to the remainder of the normally required parking space is landscaped or pro-
vided in permanent open space to permit later conversion to additional parking,
if necessary.
Councilman Sneegas inquired whether there is any excess land area available
on the proposed project which would qualify for the HUD open space provision,
to which Mr. Roberts replied negatively.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant or his Agent were present and wished to
address the Council.
Mr. Joe Cooper, 17961 Orkney Circle, Huntington Beach, Agent, advised that
this apartment complex has been planned to be completed with private or HUD
financing, without government subsidy. He indicated that the average age of a
resident of this type of apartment unit is 72 years. Regarding the parking
space requirements for this type of use, Mr. Cooper advised that he has con-
ducted exhaustive surveys of his own which have revealed that practically none
of the spaces provided are ever used. He indicated that if the planners of the
project felt 100 spaces would be necessary, they would have proposed 100 spaces.
Conversely, their projections indicate the need for 12 spaces, but the architect
had room for 26 and they were incorporated into the plan.
Mr. Cooper summarized the following observation of occuPied parking spaces
from a survey conducted on Sunday, January 12, 1975, at various apartment units
which provide homes for elderly persons in the area:
Westbrook Royal, Garden Grove, 72 units, 37 parking spaces - 8 cars observed
in the lot and one parked on the street; Bayview Manor, Costa Mesa, 40 units
in conjunction with a hospital, 35 parking spaces, 13 occupied on the lot and
none on the street; 854 Cerritos, Stanton, 34 units, 32 parking spaces, 9 cars
on the lot and none on the street; 1652 West Broadway, Anaheim, 35 units, 12
spaces, 5 cars parked on the lot and one on the street; Casa Bonita, Fullerton,
25 parking spaces, 8 cars on the lot and none on the street; Tustin Hacienda,
32 units, 13 parking spaces - 4 cars parked on the lot, none on the street.
Together with these findings, Mr. Cooper submitted photographs taken at each
location which were reviewed by Council.
In reply to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Cooper related that the average age of
residents is projected to be 72 years although there is no rule nor any way
they could refuse admission to the project based on age. However, historically,
because of the size of the units and the social situation, including the fact
that three meals per day will be provided, no one under the age of 67 usually
wants to reside in this type of development.
The Mayor called for those in favor or in opposition to the proposed pro-
ject and speaking in opposition were Mr. and Mrs. Viljak, 316 North Lemon.
Their main concerns were related to the parking issue and they cited the pre-
sently overcrowded conditions in the area due to the location of the Elk's Club
and Pacific Telephone Company and particularly noted that during the summer
months Pearson Park receives much use and it is difficult to find parking.
In reply to their concerns, the Mayor pointed out that subject proposed
project is not the standard multiple-family use bug a specialized use cat~rin~
to the older citizen. He further noted that there is an extremely high propor-
tion of older retired citizens in the center core area of Anaheim, which group
this Applicant is attempting to accommodate.
Mrs. Viljak voiced further concern about the size of the units and the
lack of outside recreational areas, as well as the amount of traffic on adjacent
streets, to which the Mayor replied that these units appear to be comparable in
square footage to similar developments.
Ms. Eleni Boukidis, 1816 East Sycamore, spoke in opposition to the project
and addressed the question of the precedent which the Council would establish
by granting these Code waivers which would mean that, in fact, future devel-
opers would be discriminated against if not allowed the same privileges. Her
75-31
~Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januarl4~, 1:30 P.M.
special concern was the lack of recreational-leisure area which would create an
over use of Pearson Park, decreasing the amount of green area per capita and
thereby not providing for the needs of the remainder of the City.
In reply to Councilman Sneegas, Ms. Boukidis advised that she is greatly
interested in housing for senior citizens, having completed post-graduate work
on the subject, but she feels housing for the elderly should be properly planned
and of quality, especially since the number of senior citizens in the population
is increasing.
Mr. D. Cameron Spicer, 158 South Trevor, commented on the Environmental
Impact Negative Declaration request. He referred to the statement submitted to
the City Clerk on December 17, 1974, requesting that the application for Nega-
.tive Declaration be denied. He indicated that with the current process for
such applications there may be a conflict of duties, i.e., the Development
Services Department staff is both advocate and initiator, and the determination
is made without subjecting the project to adequate scrutiny. In particular,
Mr. Spicer took exception to the statement on the E.I.R. questionnaire form as
to whether or not the proposed project will have any effect on historical
monuments, which was answered negatively. He noted that the last surviving
Anaheim stone winery is located adjacent to subject property and this was never
mentioned on the questionnaire.
After being apprised that the stone winery is located three parcels, or
175 feet, to the east of subject property, Councilman Seymour inquired of
Mr. Spicer where he would draw the line regarding impact on adjacent properties.
Mr. Spicer remarked that he felt this particular project should be sub-
jected to the environmental impact report process. He reported that his concern
regarding the winery is that the granting of this use would increase the
density of the area, causing the expansion of Pearson Park and the need to
explore the incorporation of the stone winery into the park project.
In answer to Councilman Seymour's question as to how one can avoid having
either staff or the developer initiate the E.I.R., Mr. Spicer related that
Contra Costa County has developed an E.I.R. process which is very effective and
expedient and has been studied by the Environmental Protection Agency. The
report will be issued shortly.
Councilman Seymour stated that he would be happy to review a copy of this
report, but that the Council could not hold up progress awaiting same.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council in favor or
in opposition and there being no response, he offered the Applicant a few
minutes for rebuttal.
Mr. Cooper summarized that there is a growing segment of the population
that does not have a decent place to live. This Developer intends to construct
a class one, air conditioned building, with unit sizes comparable to those
existing in other such retirement units, for a rental price which will begin at
$250 per month including food.
Councilman Seymour noted that comparing the 26 parking spaces proposed in
this complex with 64 units, with the parking spaces provided on the examples
surveyed and listed above by Mr. Cooper, a variety of percentages for parking
requirements appears, however, none provides as low a ratio as is proposed. In
essence, Councilman Seymour noted that the Applicant is requesting Council to
be more lenient on the parking requirements than either existing facilities and
HUD consider prudent. He commented that with 8 to 10 employees utilizing a
maximum of 10 spaces, this would leave only 16 spaces to accommodate both the
people who reside in the complex who might drive as well as any guests. He
stated that he felt a minimum of 32 spaces, or a ratio of 1 space to 2 units
should be provided. ,
Councilman Seymour concluded that the only way he could vote favorably on
the parking variance would be if the Applicant would be willing to tie up some
property which could provide at least six additional parking spaces and which
75-32
~Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januar 14~5_a_1:30 P.M.
would be subject to review in two years, and then released, if additional
parking is deemed unnecessary. The other possibility suggested was a condition
that the people who reside in the complex not have drivers licenses, which
condition although ridiculous in his estimation, would address the problem.
Mr. Cooper contended that there is sufficient data on these types of units
to indicate that tho proposed 26 spaces would be ample.
Mayor Thom closed the public hearing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION: On motion by Councilman
Seymour, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the City Council finds that this project
will have no significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, exempt
from the requirement to prepare an environmental impact report. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Seymour offered a resolution for adoption, denying Variance No.
2637, noting that his reasoning is based entirely on the lack of this project
meeting what he considers to be reasonable parking requirements, i.e. a 50%
ratio or 32 spaces. '
Councilman Pebley suggested that rather than deny the project, perhaps the
Applicant might be offered the alternative of providing for these additional
six parking spaces.
Mr. Frank A. Lowry, Jr., Deputy City Attorney, advised that there is a
provision in the Code which indicates parking requirements can be satisfied
with spaces located within 300 feet of a project, however, this reference is
for other than residential uses.
It was the consensus of Council opinion that this particular apartment
project for the elderly does not constitute the typical residential apartment
house situation which would require on-site parking and therefore could be
permitted more latitude. '
Following brief discussion between Council and Mr. Cooper, the latter
agreed to stipulate that he would either lease, on a long-term basis, an adja-
cent property to provide a minimum of six additional parking spaces; or, that
he would purchase additional property located within 300 feet of the apartment
complex site to be used for parking purposes for a period of two years, after
which time, he may request permission to release this parcel if parking demands
do not warrant these additional spaces.
Councilman Seymour thereupon withdrew the resolution of denial for Variance
No. 2637.
RESOLUTION NO. 75R-14: Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 75R-14 for
adoption, approving Variance No. 2637, subject to the conditions recommended by
the City Planning Commission and further subject to the following two added
conditions, Nos. 7 and 8 as stipulated to by the Petitioner:
7. That six additional parking spaces be located within not more than 300
feet of the apartment complex and that the property for these spaces be either
purchased and held specifically for this purpose or a long-term lease be
arranged, the conditions of which are to be approved by the City Attorney and
City Council.
8. That Condition No. 7 may be reviewed after two years of operation of
the facility, at the request of the Petitioner, and will be subject to release
on Council approval, should these six additional spaces be deemed unnecessary
at that time.

Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januari4l_~_~_~l:30 P.M.
Mayor Thom indicated for those in opposition to this variance, that it
must be realized that there is a great need in the center section of the City
to provide housing for the elderly.
Councilman Seymour commented that his favorable vote is partially justified
by the knowledge that as a result of the ambitious and aggressive redevelopment
program in the downtown area of the City, this apartment project, as well as
other downtown neighborhoods, will receive an improved transportation service.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated that along with redevelopment there is going
to be a need for relocation, and if nothing is being built for those who need
to be relocated, the term becomes an empty word.
CONTRACT AGREEMENT - SALES OF ADVERTISING SPACE AT THE CONVENTION CENTER - IN SIGHT
MARKETING, INC.: Stadium-Convention Center Director T. F. Liegler reported that
documents have been prepared in connection with the presentation made and dis-
cussion held at the Council meeting of September 3, 1974, at which time the
City Council approved in concept a sales agreement to be entered into with the
Katz Agency of New York for sale of advertising space at the Anaheim Convention
Center.
Mr. Liegler advised that since that time a separate corporate structure
has been formed, In Sight Marketing, Inc., which is a subsidiary of the Katz
Agency, and which will be documented in the proposed agreement. Mr. Liegler
also advised that the Finance Director has prepared a comparison of the two
proposals and recommends the alternate proposal, which is, the City would
receive all of the early revenues up to $120,000 and then participate in 50% of
the gross revenues after $120,000. He thereupon recommended that Council adopt
the resolution implementing the contract agreement.
In response to Councilwoman Kaywood's concern and at her request, an
amendment was made to the contract agreement between the City of Anaheim and In
Sight Marketing, Inc., Item No. 5, Page No. 6, Line No. 17 to add after the
word "given" the words "by either party".
In reply to Councilman Seymour's inquiry as to whether or not In Sight
Marketing, Inc., is as financially capable as the Katz Agency, Mr. Ringer
advised that the agreement provides that the City will do all the billing and
collect the advertising fees and remit the commission to In Sight Marketing,
Inc., out of these proceeds. In Sight Marketing, Inc., will provide contact
and sales effort.
Mr. Watts reported that a second resolution is considered necessary to
implement the provision of the agreement with In Sight Marketing, Inc., which
provides that the City must accept or reject any advertising contract within 10
days of receipt, and inasmuch as it was considered impractical to bring these
matters before the Council, a resolution is proposed which would authorize the
Stadium-Convention Center Director to accept or reject these agreements.
RESOLUTION NOS. 75R-15 AND 75R-16: Councilman Pebley offered Resolution Nos.
75R-15 and 75R-16 for adoption.

The Mayor declared Resolution Nos. 75R-15 and 75R-16 duly passed and
adopted.
Mr. Liegler introduced Mr. William Vernon, President of In Sight Marketing,
Inc., who briefly explained the reason for formation of this corporate subsid-
iary and the origin of its name. He demonstrated a portion of the visual
material which has been developed for use in presentations to be made to poten-
tial advertisers.
REPORT - FINANCIAL STATUS OF THE CITY: Finance Director M. R. Ringer displayed
transparencies of five schedules which comprised his report on the financial
status of the City at six months into the Fiscal Year. (Printed copies of said
schedules on file in the office of the City Clerk.) Mr. Ringer reviewed the
figures which indicate a substantial shortage in the projected revenues to be
received from electrical sales (adopted Budget shows $47,165,969.00 and the
revenue estimate is currently $44,491,000.00, a shortage of $2,674,969.00). He
reported that there are two reasons for this shortage, one being the anticipated
rate increases which were not adopted last August, and the other is that the
sales of kilowatt hours of electricity are lower than projected.
During the review of Schedules I through V, Mr. Ringer pointed out that
the Possessory Tax Refund, amounting to $779,116.31, has been received and
placed in the Stadium Fund. He further pointed out that he has reviewed all
City accounts to ascertain whether or not any funds may be available to help
make up the difference between the revenue estimate from electrical revenues
and actual receipts. He reported that there is a surplus in the bond accounts
at the Convention Center and Stadium in the amount of $930,215.41, and
$704,242.80, respectively. However, the surplus in the Stadium Bond Account is
not available because of bond covenant restrictions. He indicated that he has
instructed the trustees of the Convention Center Account to apply these surplus
funds to the Convention Center January 1, 1975 lease payment and has thus
generated $825,000 of appropriations which are available to off-set the shortage
in electrical revenues.
City Manager Keith A. Murdoch stressed that Council should remember that
the loss in electrical revenues reported is not a loss in actual revenue but
rather a loss in anticipated revenue.
Mr. Ringer summarized his six months' status report as follows:
1. That there is a problem because the electric revenue is substantially
under the Budget estimate. It is recommended that the $779,116.31 Possessory
Tax Refund and $825,000 Convention Center Surplus Bond Account be used to off-
set the anticipated shortage in the electric revenues, which will still leave
a deficit of $1,000,000 in the estimated amount necessary to balance the Budget.
He reviewed some of the Council's alternatives, these being to reduce appropria-
tions or to hold Phase I Construction of the Civic Center Project or the 220 KV
Substation.
2. Mr. Ringer summarized the financial condition of the City shows revenues
to be soft due to the economy; the costs of most items are over the budgeted
amounts due to inflation. The City has a good financial positiOn in cash
balance o~ $25,000,000, the only major commitment being the tax anticipation
note of $5,000,000 which is due June 30, 1975.
In answer to Council questions, Mr. Ringer stated that the $5,000,000 for
this note was included in the $25,000,000 cash balance figure.
At the conclusion of his report, Mr. Ringer recommended that the City
Council take two actions this date:
1. To appropriate the funds for the salary increases approved by Council
at 10.6% which were budgeted at 6%, from Unappropriated Reserves in the amount
of $482,800.
75-35
City Hall~ Anaheima California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januar~l:30 P.M.
2. Consider action relative to the $1,000,000 shortage in anticipated
electrical revenue.
Regarding the alternative of reducing appropriations, Mr. Murdoch reported
that for the past several months the City administration has been holding a
firm line on filling new and old positions in the Budget. When a position
becomes vacant, it is analyzed by the Department Head and Manager's Office to
determine whether it should remain vacant. In addition, the carry forward
amounts for items budgeted in previous fiscal years are being reviewed to
ascertain whether any of these may be deleted.
Councilman Seymour asked if the interest income item takes into account
the income earned from the tax anticipation borrowing to which Mr. Ringer
replied affirmatively.
Mayor Thom left the Council Chambers. (4'35 P.M.)
Councilman Seymour stated that it was his understanding no action is being
requested at this time to commit the Phase I City Hall funds to make up this
anticipated shortage. Mr. Murdoch concurred.
Councilman Seymour referred to a rather bold decision made by a majority
of the Council in August of 1974 to hold the line on electrical rates by refus-
ing to grant the increases as recommended, and to the remark made at that time
that this action displayed a lack of fiscal responsibility. He pointed out
that it appears the Anaheim electric consumers have been able to save $1,800,460,
since that is the difference in the amount which they might otherwise have paid
in electric rates by the end of this current fiscal year if the increases were
implemented last August. He commended the City Manager and Finance Director
for their efforts in pursuing this objective of keeping electric rates down.
Councilwoman Kaywood stressed that the savings referred to by Councilman
Seymour are in addition to the 9% to 11% differential in Anaheim consumer rates
as compared with Southern California Edison consumer rates.
Mr. Murdoch apologized to those Council Members who accepted the rather
pessimistic recommendation, recognizing that Council's decisions are based on
information received from staff, and at that time staff was projecting a pessi-
mistic point of view as to wholesale power costs.
Councilman Sneegas remarked that he felt there is no way to make up for
lost revenue from those industries which were, during the past six months,
operating at full capacity with overtime and now have cut back hours and laid
off employees. If these industrial firms were not paying the full cost of
electric power at that time, there is no way to make up the losses equitably
without the residential consumer having to pay an unfair portion of this cost.
He indicated that he hoped the City would not run into this situation, however
he would have to reserve judgment as to whether or not the decision not to
raise rates has been successful until the Budget is balanced but he sincerely
hopes that it will be. '
Mayor Thom return to the Council Chambers. (4:45 P.M.)
Councilwoman Kaywood referred to decisions made by the Public Utilities
Commission authorizing increases in rates for the Southern California Edison
Company and that the trend is that the costs of all power are gOing to continue
to rise. She suggested that the establishment of some kind of life line service,
guch as the Telephone Company now offers to those on fixed incomes, should be
accomplished to insure that those individuals can r~ceive the absolute neces-
sities of life regarding water and electric power.
Councilwoman Kaywood further commented regarding realistic prices for
electricity, advising that she did not think the City'should reach the point
where the amount paid to Edison for wholesale electricity is more than that
which is charged the Anaheim consumer since this would mean going into the
General Fund.
Councilman Seymour agreed and noted that the City's guideline in electric
rates must be a comparison with Southern California Edison, and Mayor Thom
added that when it comes to the point that the City cannot provide electric
power at lower rates than Edison, there is no justification for the City being
in the utility business.

City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 14, 1975~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Seymour moved that the sum of $482,800 for salary increases
previously approved by the City Council be appropriated from the Unappropriated
Reserves, 1974-75 Budget. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion MOTION
CARRIED. '
FINAL MAP~ TRACT NO. 7787: (Continued from the meeting of December 17, 1974, at
which time the Developer had requested that the matter be taken off the Agenda
for an indefinite period of time.) Developer, Wittenberg National Company,
property located north of Santa Ana Canyon Road, east of Anaheim Hills Road and
contains 50 RS-5000 zoned lots (Reclassification No. 71-72-5). Submitted at
this time was report from the City Engineer dated January 10, 1975, regarding
three possible alternates to provide access to Santa Ana Canyon Road in the
vicinity of Tract No. 7787 as follows: Study A - provides a street extending
-easterly from the stub street of Tract No. 7787, terminating approximately 380
feet east of the Mark III Homes access point onto Santa Ana Canyon Road. This
alternate would require construction of another median opening on Santa Ana
Canyon Road at an estimated cost of $5,000 and a complete new traffic signal
when warranted at an additional cost of approximately $48,000. This study
would have no effect on Tract No. 7787 but would have a major impact on the
adjacent proposed park site by severing a corner therefrom. The total cost of
this study, assuming that the 1.47 acres severed from the park could be used
for development purposes, would be $158,400.
Study B - provides a street extension partially along the west property
line of the proposed park site and to the east of Tract No. 7787 and, with a
slight curve to the west, lines up with the existing access to the Mark III
Homes. An additional left-turn pocket would have to be constructed at an
estimated cost of $2,000. This study provides the most desirable location for
access in the vicinity of Tract No. 7787 from a traffic viewpoint and has the
advantage of providing only one median opening to both tracts and would require
only one signal to serve both streets. The additional signal costs would be
approximately $4,000. Study B would have the greatest effect of the three
alternates prepared on the Final Map of Tract No. 7787. It would require a
redesign of the southern portion of the tract with reduction in lot yield of
approximately four lots. The Developer's Engineer estimates that the damages
and additional costs to the tract as a result of this alternate would be approxi-
mately $85,000. The total cost for this alternate including costs for the land
in the roadway would be $138,300.
Study C - provides a street along the westerly property line of the pro-
posed park site witk exit point onto Santa Ana Canyon Road at about 125 feet
east of the Mark III Homes access. This plan would require the widening of the
existing median opening at an estimated cost of $3,500 and additional signal
costs of $40,000. However, this plan would create an off-set intersection
which might be considered a hazardous condition and would also adversely affect
the traffic capacity on Santa Ana Canyon Road. Study C would have slight
effect on Tract No. 7787, with no reduction in lot yield. It would involve the
use of 3/4 acres of land for the roadway which is estimated to cost $33,500 for
an approximate total of $112,000.
Prior to consideration of the three alternate proposals for providing
access to Santa Aha Canyon Road, Mr. Murdoch indicated it would be necessary
for Council to make some determination as to whether or not they are interested
in purchasing the property adjacent to the easterly border of Tract No. 7787
for a park site.
Councilman Seymour inquired if this site has been identified as an appropri-
ate and necessary park area by the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department,
to which Mr. Murdoch replied affirmatively.
Mr. Murdoch further reported that there is a good indication from the
owner of that potential park property that he would be interested in selling
same over a three-year period with no downpayment. This would require an
annual commitment for the property in excess of $125,000, and would have to be
considered along with the total requirements for City expenditures.
The City Attorney reported it could be accomplished through an agreement
similar to the Anaheim Hills Golf Course agreement establishing a special fund
perhaps with park in-lieu fees.
75-37
Cit~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Januarl4y_~_~~_l:30 P.M.
Further discussion was directed toward the advantages and disadvantages of
each alternate proposed and Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, reported on the off-
set intersection situation provided under Study C. During discussion it was
pointed out that staff recommendation would be Study B.
Mr. John R. Parker, 1215 East Chapman Avenue, Orange, Attorney representing
interested homeowners from tracts adjacent and to the north of Tract No. 7787,
advised that his clients would be pleased with development of a park on the
property adjacent to Tract No. 7787. He also indicated they would prefer Study
B of the three alternates presented, although they would be satisfied with
either A or C as well, so long as there is some access provided out to Santa
Ana Canyon Road. He urged that Council not approve the Final Map of Tract No.
7787 until action has been taken to definitely acquire the park site and guaran-
tee the road is constructed contemporaneously with final development of subject
tract. He outlined the legal authority in the Subdivision Map Act under which
he felt Council was authorized to deny the final map and summarized the alterna-
tives, legal and otherwise, left to the homeowners opposing construction of the
tract without provision of this access point.
Mr. Parker concluded by urging that Council continue any action on the map
for one week, but if Council does approve the map he recommended that they
require as a condition of approval that the access road be constructed prior to
any occupancy permits being issued for the homes in Tract No. 7787.
Mr. William C. Holzworth, 888 North Main Street, Santa Ana, Attorney
representing the Wittenberg National Company, reported that negotiations had
been held by Mr. Eric Wittenberg to purchase the property adjacent to the
easterly boundary of Tract No. 7787, which is now being considered for a park
site, and alternatives to provide access to Santa Ana Canyon Road through that
property if developed as a residential subdivision can be demonstrated for
Council at this time. He advised that once the City became interested in that
property for a park, no further activities were undertaken by Mr. Wittenberg to
purchase the property.
Mr. Holzworth noted that the Developer is incurring costs on a daily basis
and has made what they feel to be a reasonable effort to find some alternatives.
He further advised that contra to Mr. Parker's opinion, he believes there is no
authority in the Subdivision Map Act or by the City's own ordinance which would
indicate that the City Council does not have the ability to extend the final
map or approve a map which has been extended.
Mr. Holzworth also remarked that he thought part of the property owners'
concern regarding traffic in the area was due to construction traffic from
three developments now active, and this would decrease as these projects become
complete.
Mr. Bruce Strickland, Toups Engineering, 1010 North Main Street, Santa
Ana, advised that they have prepared a series of studies concerning possible
alternative access to Santa Ana Canyon Road from this tract both by extension
of internal roads and one utilizing the adjacent 10-acre potential park site,
designed as a residential subdivision. These studies were posted in the Council
Chambers. He outlined the financial losses which the Developer would incur
with the three alternates proposed by the City staff. Basically he reported
that any relocation of a street through the project (Tract No. 7787) as it is
now designed would not be economically feasible for the Developer and would
most likely result in his inability to complete the project. He specifically
reported that the effect of Study B as recommended by the City staff would be a
loss in the amount of $85,000 to $90,000.
Councilman Sneegas inquired if the Wittenberg National Company would be
interested in purchasing the 10-acre site adjacent to Tract No. 7787 and further
noted that if the Wittenberg Company did purchase that property for development
as a residential subdivision, they would be responsible for the street improve-
ments and entrance onto the boulevard rather than the City.
Mr. Eric Wittenberg replied that he had made a statement at the previous
Council meeting to the effect that he would provide an access through to Santa
Ana Canyon Road on a design for that adjacent property. He urged that Council
make a final determination regarding the use of this property for a park so
that the decision on the access can be made.

Cit Hall Anaheim California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Janua~l:30 P.M.
AUTHORIZATION TO NEGOTIATE FOR PURCHASE OF PARK SITE ~WEST OF FAIRMONT AVENUE~
NORTH OF SANTA ANA CANYON ROAD): Councilman Seymour moved that the Council
authorize and instruct staff to proceed with negotiations to purchase a 10-acre
parcel adjacent to the easterly boundary of Tract No. 7787 for use as a park
site. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. To this motion, Councilmen
Pebley and Sneegas voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.
The determination regarding the park site having been made, Mr. Wittenberg
advised that his firm feels Study C as proposed by the City staff would be the
best approach as far as their development is concerned.
Discussion ensued relative to the traffic problems and potential hazard
which might be caused if Study C were utilized, inasmuch as this would neces-
sitate that an off-set intersection be established similar to that on State
College Boulevard (Westport and Santa Ana Streets) which has caused many
difficulties.
During the discussion, Councilman Sneegas voiced the opinion that this
developer should not be penalized for following the law as prescribed by the
City up to the final planning stages of his project. Other factors discussed
were the possibility of trade-offs of property should Study A be implemented,
by using that portion severed from the park for residential subdivision. Both
sets of alternates were compared and discussed and Mr. Wittenberg and
Mr. Strickland stressed the time factor required for refiling a new tentative
tract, which also would be very costly to their project. Councilwoman Kaywood
stated, in her opinion, the access to Santa Ana Canyon Road is a definite
necessity.
During the extensive discussion of the proposed alternates and other
possibilities to provide access to Santa Ana Canyon Road, Mayor Thom left the
Council Chambers (6:05 P.M.).
Mayor Pro Tem Seymour assumed Chairmanship of the meeting.
Following lengthy discussion, Councilman Seymour stated that it was appar-
ent the matter could not be resolved at this meeting and thereupon moved for a
one-week continuance of Final Map, Tract No. 7787, to allow the Developer, City
Engineer, Traffic Engineer, Zoning Supervisor and the Parks, Recreation and the
Arts Department to meet and determine which of the alternatives would be most
appropriate or to design some other alternative which will be as fair as possible
to the Developer of Tract No. 7787 and at the same time accomplish the goal of
establishing an access point to Santa Aha Canyon Road. Councilwoman Kaywood
seconded the motion. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Murdoch suggested that during the one-week interval, additional investi-
gation be given to the effects of Study A as proposed by the City staff in
reference to spreading the distance between the two access points north and
south and how serious of a problem this would be.
Councilwoman Kaywood suggested that this item be scheduled first, at
1:30 P.M. on January 21, 1975.
CLAIM - F. A. DUSEK: Memorandum dated January 3, 1975 from the City Attorney's
Office recommending that the City Council authorize payment of claim in the
amount of $64.80 presented by Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Dusek, for funds taken from
robbery suspects and subsequently deposited in the General Fund was submitted
for Council consideration.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Seymour, the City
Council authorized the Finance Director to draw a warrant payable to Mr. and
Mrs. F. A. Dusek, owners of the Pickwick Hotel, 225 South Anaheim Boulevard in
the amount of $64.80. Councilman Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED.
PETITION FOR REHEARING - AFFIDAVIT OF MERIT~ VARIANCE NO. 2647: The City Clerk

In answer to Councilman Seymour, the City Attorney reported that he under-
stands Mr. Margulieux and the Rannow sisters have agreed to some arrangement
regarding dedication and improvement of Euclid Street, which appeared to be the
uppermost problem at the public hearing January 7, 1975 at which Variance No.
2647 was denied.
Councilwoman Kaywood moved that the petition for rehearing on Variance No.
2647 be granted and authorized the City Clerk to schedule same. Councilman
Seymour seconded the motion.
Prior to voting on the foregoing motion, Councilman Sneegas indicated he
would only be in favor of the rehearing if it was being granted on the basis of
new evidence only and not as to any of the specific conditions Set forth by
Mr. Raymond. The remainder of the Council Members present agreed that the
motion to grant the rehearing should not be construed as agreement to any of
the conditions set forth in the Affidavit of Merit enclosed with the petition
for rehearing.
Councilwoman Kaywood left the Council Chambers. (6:20 P.M.)
Mayor Pro Tem Seymour requested that the City Clerk schedule the rehearing
as early as possible and called for a vote on the motion.
Mayor Thom and Councilwoman Kaywood absent. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilwoman Kaywood returned to the Council Chambers. (6:22 P.M.)

machinery and vehicles on property consisting of approximately 1.76 acres,
having a frontage of approximately 188 feet on the south side of La Palma
Avenue located approximately 110 feet west of the centerline of Lakeview Avenue.
Said property is unincorporated and zoned County Mi. Public notice has been
given that the Orange County Planning Commission will hold public hearing on
said Use Permit on January 21, 1975.
Mr. Roberts also submitted the recommendation made by the Anaheim City
Planning Commission at their meeting of January 6, 1975 - that if Use Permit
No. 3591 is approved, development of subject property be in accordance with the
City of Anaheim ML Zone site development standards and that a time limit be

deny Orange County Use Permit No. UP-3591 on the basis that the proposed use is

REQUEST - RELEASE OF BOND (RECLASSIFICATION NO. 66-67-62): Request of Carol M.
Metcalfe for release of Bond No. 605409, filed as a condition of approval of
Resolution No. 67R-426, approving R-3 zoning under Reclassification No. 66-67-62,
to insure street and storm drain improvements on Beach Boulevard and Hayward
Street, was submitted.
Also submitted were reports from the City Engineer and Development Services
Department recommending that said bond be released subject to the posting of a
substitute bond or that Ordinance No. 2480 be amended to add a condition requir-
ing a bond be submitted prior to issuance of building permits for development
of subject property.
Mr. John W. Hartman, Fullerton Mortgage and Escrow Company, 905 South
Euclid, Fullerton, advised that he bought this property seven years ago and
subsequently had it zoned to R-3. His project however failed to receive the
necessary financing and a portion of the property was subsequently sold to its
present owner who had it rezoned to a commercial use. Consequently he (Mr.
Hartman) wishes to be released from the bond obligation.
Mr. Hartman asserted that the City has the right to require a bond of any
property owner at the time he wishes to make an improvement on hisproperty.
It was explained by staff that the bond to fulfill street improvement obliga-
tions is generally a condition of approval of rezoning.
Councilman Pebley left the Council Chambers. (6:35 P.M.)
Following brief discusssion, Councilman Sneegas suggested that the present
owner of subject property be contacted prior to any Council action to ascertain
whether or not he would be willing to post the substitute bond required to
release Bond No. 605409.
Councilman Seymour moved that the matter be continued to the meeting of
January 28, 1975. Councilman Sneegas seconded the motion. Councilmen Pebley
and Thom absent. MOTION CARRIED.
