a. Requirement that single-family structures r~ar on arterial highways.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-107, recom-
mended that the City Council certify E.I.R. No. 111 as being in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act, and further, recommended approval
of Reclassification No. 73-74-28, subject to the following conditions'
1. That a final tract map of subject property shall be submitted to and
approved by the City Council and then be recorded in the office of the Orange
County Recorder.
2. That the owner(s) of subject property shall pay to the City of Anaheim
the appropriate park and recreation inlieu fees as determined to be appropriate
by the City Council, said fees to be paid at the time the building permit is
issued.
3. That fire hydrants shall be installed and charged as required and
determined to be necessary by the Chief of the Fire Department prior to commence-
ment of structural framing.
4. That subject property shall be served by underground utilities.
5. That these reclassification proceedings are granted subject to comple-
tion of annexation of subject property to the City of Anaheim.
6. Prior to the introduction of an ordinance rezoning subject property,
Condition Nos. ! and 5, above-mentioned, shall be completed. The provisions or
rights granted by this resolution shall become null and void by action of the
City Council unles's said conditions are complied with within one year from the
date hereof, or such further time as the City Council may grant.
7. That Condition No. 4, above-mentioned, shall be complied with prior to
final building and zoning inspections.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC75-108, recom-
mended that the City Council certify E.I.R. No. 111 as being in compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act and granted Variance No. 2566, subject
to the following conditions:
1. That this Variance is granted subject to the completion of Reclassifi-
cation No. 73-74-28, now pending.
2. That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance
with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim marked Exhibit
No. 1.
Miss Santalahti, Zoning Supervisor, briefed the location of subject property.
She advised that the one requested waiver would affect five lots which are pro-
posed to front on Hidden Canyon Road; that the gross density of the project is
0.73 dwelling units per acre, which is in conformance with the Anaheim General
Plan as amended for this area. The lot sizes range from 22,960 square feet to
over 95,000 square feet. Lot No. 17 has zero street frontage (no building pad
indicated) and access is to be achieved by a 30-foot wide access easement from
the adjacent Tract No. 8075.
~iiss Santalahti stated that no house plans were submitted with the proposal,
as this is planned to be a custom tract. Riding and hiking trails are proposed
to be located on the south side of Avenida de Santiago, to be connected along
the Metropolitan Water District easement to the west of subject property.
Councilwoman Kaywood questioned whether Condition No. 12 as reported in the
staff report indicating "minimum speed" for Avenida de Santiago of 25 miles per
hour was correct, and was assured by Mr. Devitt that this refers to design speed
and is correct as stated.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or his agent were present and wished to
address the Council.
Mr. John Millick, Vice President, Anaheim Hills, Inc. had nothing further
to add, but responded to Councilwoman Kaywood's question regarding the use of
fire-proof roofing material on these homes. He stated that in accordance with
city policy all roofs in the hill and canyon area are to be constructed of
either heavy shake or clay tile materials. He suggested, however, that the
recently approved substitution of a new roofing material called "shangles" on
the Anaheim Hills Racquet Club, may prompt the use of same by individual builders.
75-568
City Hall,. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 24~ 1.975~ 1'30 P.M.
He advised that these are a fire-proof composition type roofing material which
appear very much like shake. He advised that he could not stipulate to the use
of these materials in this tract because Anaheim Hills may get into an individual
lot sales program and decision on building materials would be made by other
developers.
Councilwoman Kaywood commended Anaheim Hills on the tentative tract proposal
submitted, and stated that the grading contours were exceptionally well done.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council either in
favor or opposition and there being no response he declared the hearing closed.

City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL bIINUTES- June 24, 1975, 1'30 P.M.
bliss Santalahti briefed the location of subject parcel which consists of
subject parcel were approved by the City Council in 1966 to constr,ct an 8=unit,
2-story studio garden apartment development, but no subsequent steps were taken
and these zoning actions have expired.
Miss Santalahti reported that subject project would have a net density of
18 units per acre and a site coverage of 31%. Ail of the units will have two
bedrooms. She stated that the Anaheim General Plan designates this property as
suitable for iow-medium density residential uses and the proposal is consistent
with that designation.
Miss Santalahti advised that the City Planning Commission approved the
variance requested on the basis that subject property is separated from the
agricultural property by a parcel already developed with a multiple-family, two-
story residential project and further, that the two-story portion of the appli-
cant's project would be located in excess of 190 feet from the adjacent RS-7200
tract to the south.
Miss Santalahti advised, in answer to Councilwoman Kaywood, that the only
objection to this project was based upon the distance from the RS-7200 tract to
the two-story portion and once this matter was clarified, the objection was
withdrawn.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or his agent were present and satisfied
with the recommendations of the City Planning Commission.
Mr. P. J. Hallmeyer, 1304 South Magnolia Avenue, Anaheim, 92804, Agent for

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING- 1975-76 BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF ANAHEIM: To consider
the proposed budget of the City of Anaheim for' the Fiscal Year of 1975-76
(continued from the meetings June 10 and June 17, 1975, to this date.)
Mr. Murdoch reported that since the budget was last discussed on June 17,
1975, in response to the concern which was expressed by the City Council for
providing a reserve to off-set possible adverse financial fluctuations, he has
reviewed the budget again in considerable detail.
Mr. Murdoch advised that he had requested each department to prepare a
budget based on the same dollar amount shown in the original 1974-75 Budget
proposal whereas previously the departments had been requested to prepare a
budget based on the amended 1974-75 figures. The purpose of this was to review
possible cuts in a format of relative priority, and operational, reductions made
in such categories as Capital Outlay, Travel and Miscellaneous Expense Items.
This has been done, however these are relatively small and do not come to
anywhere near the $4,000,000 total requested.
Mr. Murdoch explained that a large percentage of reductions would result in
lay-offs and the consequent lowering of service levels. He indicated that he
would expect that the City Council would prefer not to lower the service levels.
of City operations in any area unless the particular service has outlived its
usefulness or because of change in conditions, is not as important as it once
was. Therefore, he suggested the "Zero" budget proposals be held in abeyance to
be seriously analyzed later on during the year at such time as there may be a
critical financial reverse, particularly in' the area of wholesale and retail
electrical rates.
Mr. Murdoch outlined the following areas in which monetary reserves may be
identified and held against the probabilities in the coming fiscal year of
salary adjustments, and for changes in the bases of the assumptions made in
preparing this budget, particularly in the area of electrical rates, and also
against the potential increases in water and sanitation costs'
1. Unappropriated Balance- estimated, as of July 1, 1975, at $1,600,000.
2. Establishment of wage setting policies in conjunction with the Arthur
Young & Company studies - will yield an estimated savings of $200,000.
3. Reduction in the amount budgeted for Wo~.~er-'s~Compensation.--b'ecause:
of self-insurance this amount can be reduced by $300,000.
4. Adopting an aggressive policy of not filling vacated positions auto-
matically which should generate an additional $500,000.
5. Re-allocation of General Revenue Sharing Funds in the amount of $330,000.
6. Delay of certain specific capital expenditures to January 1, 1976,
until the City is sure of its financial capabilities - this would yield $700,000
or more.
Mr. Murdoch concluded that these items summarized above identify approxi-
mately $3,600,000 of the requested reserve, and he believed that additional
review over the next few days will disclose further reductions or savings.
Therefore, he suggested that the Council adjourn this meeting to some convenient
time prior to July 1, 1975, preferably Monday, June 30, 1975.
Mayor Thom stated that he felt very strongly that the Council should
consider non-payment of the note on the Anaheim Hills Golf Course. He related
that as he understands the situation, the agreement calls for this note to be
paid from the Special Doctrine Fund which was set up to specifically amortize
the note with profits derived from said golf course. Since this fund most
likely has a deficit balance, he felt the Council should withhold budgeting the
payment ~or this year. This would allow the City another $210,000 which would

........ · .~. ~...J~,~,+-~-,~ Fn~- who r, nmi'nc~ fi..~cal year. Mavor Thom requested, that.
the City Attorney's Office look into this possibility and advise as to whether
or not such deferment of note payment would be legally possible.
Councilman Seymour stated that he feels the City is beginning to achieve
the objectives which he set forth for this budget, i.e., the creation of the
$4,000,000 surplus. He indicated that he feels there is a dire need to establish
and identify this surplus to indeed have a h~ilance~' .budget. He indicated that it
appears this reserve amount will be achieved and he is optimistic that the City
Manager and staff will be successful.
Mayor Thom stated that in reviewing the proposed budget there is one
support division within the Utilities Department, that of Energy Services, for
which there is a budget proposal submitted of $141,000, and which, in his
opinion, does not serve any critical need, except for the work performed by the
Rate Analyst.
b~yor Thom explained that what brought this division to his attention was
the information disseminated throughout the City regarding the sale of micro-
wave ovens. He noted that the types of services being provided through this
division are mostly related to conservation, and that the larger utilities~
either have, or are in the process of discontinuing these functions. He there-
fore could not see how a smaller municipal utility can justify continuing to
provide these services to their consumers.
Mr. Bob Burbank from the Edison Company advised, from the audience, that
they are phasing out their support services and have eliminated their Home
Economist service.
Mr. Hoyt was recognized by the Mayor and he replied, in response to the
comments on the Energy Services Division, that the other larger utilities are
curtailing or deleting their sales and marketing programs, but insofar as
energy conservation programs are concerned, all electric utilities are required
through regulations issued by the California Public Utilities Commission to put
forth vigorous efforts in energy conservation programs. ~ The City's Energy
Services Division has the responsibility of dealing with the new California
State Energy Commission and if deleted, this activity would have to be absorbed
into some other portion of the Utilities Department.
Mr. Hoyt related that the micro-wave ovens referred to by the Mayor were
acquired on consignment from the manufacturers and were used in a very success-
ful adult educational program.
biayor Thom pointed out that the decisions regarding this type of educational
service are a policy question and that the Council Members should address
whether or not the City should continue providing same when other utilities do
not.
Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that these new appliances may have harmful
side effects if not used properly and this educational program was very helpful
to owners of the appliances since salesmen do not explain proper use. She
stated that she was aware that there was a tremendous interest in the community
for the micro-wave cooking classes.
In further discussion of the proposed budget, Mr. Murdoch pointed out that
there are only two programs which are new or have been expanded. On strong
recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission the expanded recreation
program has been left in and funds are also budgeted for a paramedics' program,
using a combination of training of Anaheim Firemen for one unit and the Anaheim
Memorial Hospital to staff the other unit in accordance with their previous
proposal. He advised that he has sensed that these two budget items would
reflect the desire of the Council and if this is incorrect he requested that
Council so advise him of that fact.
The Mayor indicated this was certainly his intent.
The Mayor asked if anyone in the Council Chambers wished to address the
Council regarding the proposed 1975-76 Budget.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 24, 1975, 1'30 P.M.
Mr. Joe White inquired whether within the identifiable $4,000.000 reserve.
the City proposes to still include the 'sum of $2,000,000 shown on Page No.
2-249, which are capital expenditures financed from the $150,000,000 revenue
bond issue.
Mr. Murdoch responded that he has not changed the budget proposal in that
respect; that the $2,000,000 indicated on Page No. 2-249 provides approximately
$1,000,000 toward r°.~.mbursement to the City for funds utilized for studies and
.analysis and other work connected with participation in generation facilities,
and the other half of these funds would provide for slightly over $1,000,000 in
distribution and transmission facilities anticipated during the 1975-76 Fiscal
Year.
Mr. White contended that with the inclusion of this $2,000,000 to be
generated from the bond issue, the budget is not balanced and the City is
operating on borrowed money.
Councilman Seymour voiced the opinion that Mr. White's statement is true
only so far as it covers the portion of money to be spent on capital improvement~
to the distribution system; that the other $1,000,000 portion of these funds are
planned to be spent on items which .could logically be deducted as funds which
have been or will be expended for the purposes of generation.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Seymour thanked the Anaheim
Chamber of Commerce for the supportive position they have adopted toward the
achievementr of the $4,000,000 surplus.
Mr. James Webb, Pacific Telephone Company, advised that the. Anaheim Chamber
of Commerce Government Committee has reviewed the budget on a bi-monthly basis
and assured the Council Members that they are very interested in the City and
very supportive of the efforts being put forth to establish a balanced budget.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilwoman Kaywood, the
public hearing on the proposed budget for the City of Anaheim, Fiscal Year
1975-76 was continued to Monday, June 30, 1975 at 10'00 A.M. MOTION CARRIED.
REPORT- CHARTER AMENDMENT TASK FORCE- Mr. Joe White presented the following as
the recommended first draft of a Charter Amendment to guarantee the return of
profits derived from generation of electric power to the consumer, in accordance
with direction given when the Task Force was formed. (See Minutes of the ~larch
11, 1975 Meeting, Page Nos. 75-210 through 75-212):
"PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT- FIRST DRAFT-
Service from City owned utilities shall be provided at the lowest rates
consistent with good business practices and with the cost of providing said
service.
To maintain lowest possible rates, not more than 10% of gross revenues from
sale of utility services in the preceding fiscal year shall be transferred to
the general fund from any utility."
The report indicates the following appointed members of the Task Force in
attendance' J. H. Townsend, Joe White, and J. L. Webb.
Mr. White concluded that the proposed ballot measure indicated above was
the simplest formula which they could come up with which would accomplish the
objective. Mr. White further advised that Charter Amendment Task Force also
feels a Utilities Commission should be established which would act as an inter-
face between the City Council and Utilities Director.
Mayor Thom thanked the Committee for what he felt was an excellent first
ballot draft recommendation.
Mr. Gordon Hoyt suggested that prior to Council taking any action on
placing the Charter Amendment proposal on the ballot, that they request the City'
Attorney to review same and offer his recommendation.
75-575
CL~.~ty Hall, Anaheim, California -COUNCIL MINUTES- June 24, 1975, 1'30 P.M.
Councilman Seymour offered a motion directing the City Attorney to rewrite
this first draft into a ~inai dratt %or approva± Dy t~e Uounci±, sald measure to
be placed on the ballot at the earliest possible date.
Mr. Hoyt stated that he is in total agreement with what the proposed
ballot measure attempts to do, but wished to make it abundantly clear that he
feels the electric utility needs a fixed asset accounting System before it can
determine what the actual cost to provide service is, and it would be difficult
to substantiate that the rates being charged are in accordance with the cost of
providing service without such an accounting system.
In reply to Councilwoman Kaywood's concern that this formula, as set up
might not prove to be sufficiently flexible to provide for the operation of the
electric utility, Mr. Hoyt explained that an amount less than the 10% outlined
in the ballot measure has been proposed for General Fund transfer in the coming
fiscal year and Mr. Murdoch suggested that when the City Attorney returns his
opinion on the ballot wording itself, perhaps the Utilities Director could pro-
vide information for Council on the history of what the transfer from the
utility to the general fund has been over the past 20 years.
Councilwoman Kaywood also pointed out that this proposed ballot measure
indicates "sale of utility services" which would include water as well as
electric.
Councilman Sneegas stated that in the future, if it were possible through
generation to realize a 40% reduction in the cost of electricity, he did not
think it would be of equal advantage to all citizens to return everything after
the 10% gross revenues are deducted, to the consumer. Rather he felt it would
be more equitable to quarantee the consumer the 25% reduction as was promised,
and once that has been achieved, then perhaps it would be appropriate for the
City to take those incremental savings for capital improvements, or perhaps
split the increment over the 25% reduction with the consumers and use the
City's portion for capital improvements.
Councilman Seymour related that the whole emphasis of the bond campaign was
to create savings through generation which would be passed on to the consumers.
He indicated that this discussion should perhaps have been held before the bond
election, as he had not heard his fellow Council Members express these views on
use of profits derived from generation previously.
Councilman Sneegas stated that he completely agrees with guaranteeing
return of these savings to the electrical consumer up to the 25%. However he
felt that in order to continue to off-set the City's tax rate, it would be
advisable to leave the option available to future Councils to utilize that
portion of savings which may occur from generation, after 25% reduction in rates
is achieved, for capital improvements. He advised that he is completely satis-
fied with the ballot proposal as it is written, but felt that perhaps the
Council should consider adding another commitment, establishing a parameter on
either side, so that the savings over the 25% can be utilized for capital
improvements. He pointed out that in reducing the electric rates, the largest
consumers, i.e., the industrial users, will most likely receive the greatest.
advantage, and he felt that they should, after a point, share this advantage
with the other citizens of Anaheim.
Discussion was held as to whether or not it is conceivable that savings in
the amounts mentioned in this discussion would ever be realized. Councilman
Sneegas indicated he has heard that as high as 51% is possible; Councilman
Seymour was skeptical that it would reach 40%.
Mr. Hoyt related that under optimum conditions, between 35% to 39% is a
reasonable figure, but cautioned that in this analysis, 1974 costs, dollars and
rates are being used, whereas the rate in the 1980's are an unknown factor.
Councilman Seymour again moved that the City Attorney be directed to
review the first draft of the Charter Amendment submitted by the Charter Amend-
ment Committee, and rewrite said measure in final form with the expressed
purpose o~ placing same on the eariies~ possible ballot. Councilman Thom
seconded the motion.
75-576
~City Hall, .Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 24,~1975, 1:30 P.M.
Prior to votinz on the foregoing motion, Councilwoman Kaywood stated that
she felt the main purpose of this Charter Amendment proposal was to help the
residential cons_~mer. She added that she could not see anything wrong with
limiting savingst to 25% in order to realize funds for capital improvements.
Councilman Seymour stated that he felt, if the City's electric utility
achieves the types of reductions under discussion, and has passed these on to
the electric consumer, that the consumer will in turn be favorably inclined to
approve bonding proposals for the necessary capital improvements.
Councilman Pebley noted that over the past 20 to 25 years it has been the
support which the electric utility has given the General Fund which has enabled
the City of Anaheim to provide high levels of municipal services and retain its
low property tax rate. Councilman Pebley voiced the opinion that the area of
concern his fellQw Council Members Kaywood and Sneegas are addressing is' that
the Charter Amendment proposal not impair the ability of future Councils to
maintain the $1.05 property tax rate.
Mr. Murdoch suggested that Council consider adding a phrase to the last
paragraph of the proposed Charter Amendment which would state something in the
order of "this limitation would apply unless by specific authorization of the
voters, some other percentage is provided".
Councilman Seymour stated he had no objection' to that additional phrase as.
long as it was the voter who would be changing the percentage.
Mr. Joe White commented that in their consideration of this proposed
Charter Amendment, the Committee felt it better to recognize that a certain
proportion of these monies would be used to subsidize the tax rate rather than
provide for a direct 25% flow through to the consumer and have the City govern-
ment gamble that an adequate amount would be left for operation of the utility.
Councilwoman Kaywood commented that electric rates are very high at this
time and will continue to increase. She stated that she feels conservation is
a must and feared that if electric rates are reduced by these large percentages
it would encourage waste.
Councilwoman Kaywood also noted that she had some difficulty understanding
this paragraph, despite her experience and was of the opinion that the average
voter would not understand it either. She suggested that the final paragraph be
amended to show that the City receive 10%, and not to exceed a savings to the
consumer of greater than 25%.
Councilman Seymour pointed out that it is difficult to define "savings"
whereas 10% of gross revenue is readily identified.
Mr. Jim Webb stated that the Committee's responsibility Was to draft an
amendment which would insure the flow through of saVings to the citizen in the
form of lower electrical rates and that they believed this was meant to apply to
both homeowner and businessman. He related that the Committee has gone through
much of the discussion held here by the Council and was finally of the opinion
that the Charter Amendment proposed would be suitable because:
1. It would allow the Utilities Director sufficient latitude to operate
within good business practice.
2. It was considered that a lower electric rate would attract business and
industry to Anaheim.
3. It is a non-regressive approach, allowing both small and large electric
consumers to receive the cost benefit of savings achieved through generation.
Mr. Webb reported that the Committee was surprised to learn that income
from the electric and water utilities represents almost two-thirds of total
income for the City of Anaheim and noted that the proposal as written would
permit the City to retain 10% of that amount. He stated that the Committee
never considered that a savings in the amount of 50% would be achieved.
He concluded that the Committee has done their best to perform the job
charged them by the City Council.

REPORT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DURING FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AUDIT - ARTHUR YOUNG & COMPANY:
Mr. Jim LeSieur of Arthur Young & Company presented a summary of the Financial
and Management Practices Audit - Status of Major Recommendations as of June 24,
1975, Exhibit No. 1, together with cover letter dated June 24, 1975 to the City
Council Members. (Complete report and exhibit on file'in the office of the City
Clerk.) Mr. LeSieur stated that it has been concluded from the review that in
general the recommendations are being implemented and the proposed 1975-76
Budget does show an impact as a result. He commended the City employees for
their cooperation and for their diligent efforts in implementation of the
recommendations. He noted that one of the reasons for concern in this regard
was a matter of communications, since during the first three or four months
copies of status reports were received through the City Manager's Office and
more recently these have not been forwarded.
Mr. LeSieur reviewed with Council the exhibit listing the status of the
major recommendations made by Arthur Young & Company in connection with Audit
Division, License Section, Purchasing and Stores Division, Telephone Communica-
tion System, Data Processing Division, Research and Budget Group, Parks, Recrea-
tion and the Arts Department, Cash Management, and reviewed the specific impact
on the 1975-76 Budget from implementation of same. He indicated that they
specifically did not review the status of recommendations presented in the
report on the Utilities Department nor did they comment on potential recommenda-
tion forthcoming from audits currently in progress.
Mr. LeSieur emphasized that the Arthur Young & Company believes the City
should aggressively pursue the implementation of two recommendations listed in
Exhibit No. 1 - (1 the development of an EDP Master Plan (2 the development
and installation of a Work Measurement Program for the maintenance activities
with the Parks Division.
Brief discussion was held in response to Councilman Seymour's question as
to when the duplicating study would be complete and it was reported that comments
are being requested now from Department Heads and the results from the A.B. Dick
survey should be incorporated into a supplementary report within 30 days.
Mr. Murdoch reported that these studies are primarily concer~ed with xerox-type
reproduction equipment and additional investigation is still needed on the City's
duplicating needs which will take 'longer than 30 days.
Councilman Seymour requested a report on the duplicating needs study in 30
days and an implementation program.
During the discussion Councilwoman Kaywood commented that she felt the use
of coated papers, versus bond paper for duplicating would not constitute a
savings in the long-run, particularly for permanent file copies since these are
less legible.
Mayor Thom felt that the Arthur Young & Company recommendation for installa-
tion of a Work Measurement Program in the Parks Maintenance function, at an
estimated cost of $30,000, to be very important in view of the fact that an
estimated annual savings of $170,000 is anticipated from same. Councilman Thom
thereupon moved that the Arthur Young & Company be directed to prepare a work
plan for development and installation of a Work Measurement Program for the
Parks Maintenance function; and further, that staff provide funding for same in
the 1975-76 Budget. Councilman Seymour seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Seymour indicated that he would not want to see the $30,000 for
this Work Measurement Program taken from the $4,000,000 to be identified as a
reserve and inquired whether the City Manager would consider reducing salaries
and wages in the same amount so that the item would be a "wash" in the budget,
otherwise, if the funds will be coming from the reserve amount, he would with-
draw his affirmative vote.

Mr. Murdoch stated that he felt that this Work Measurement Program will
in the budget, i.e., a line item approach, he would not know precisely how to
show this item, since it is not known exactly which budgeted positions would
be affected.
Councilman Seymour commended Mr. Keith Parkyn on an outstanding job of
implementing .the Arthur Young & Company recommendations and for the savings
which have resulted in the Data Processing Division. He inquired when the EDP
Master Plan would be forthcoming.
Mr. Parkyn outlined the preliminary steps taken to prepare the Master
Plan ~nR felt that the project would be in progress in July, with estimated
completion date in four months.
Mr. Murdoch stated that as a member of the Steering Committee for the EDP
Master-Plan, any delay is not due to inactivity on the part of Data Processing
but rather because of the full impact of the budget. As soon as the budget
activity is concluded, the EDP l~aster Plan will receive full impetus.
Councilman Seymour felt it also appropriate at this time, pursuant to the
favorable report on the implementation status of major recommendations submitted
by Arthur Young & Company, to publicly apologize for his remarks on June 10,
1975, to those Department Heads who have been working to implement these
recommendations. He advised that at the time the moratorium on the Audit was
called, while it appeared because of a lack of communications that nothing was
being done, in fact a great majority of Department. Heads were putting forth
efforts to comply.
Councilman Seymour moved that the Arthur Young & Company be instructed to
proceed with the Management Practices Audits as originally cOntemplated and
set forth in the overall Audit Plan. Councilman Thom seconded the motion.
MOTION CARRIED.

meeting of July 1, 1975.
REPORT ON CITY EMPLOYEE· INSURANCE BENEFIT PROGRAM- BAYLY~_MARTIN & FAY, INC.:
Mr. Barnes of Bayly, ~,artin & Fay, Inc., presented the Council Members with
copies of an extensive report which presents the analysis and findings of the
review conducted by his firm of the City Employee Insurance Benefit Program.
Mr. Barnes briefly reviewed the objectives of the report; the various sections
contained within said document; and their conclusions and recommendations.
(Complete report on file in the office of the City Clerk.)
Mr. Barnes presented the conclusions from the survey and resultant recommen-
dations, ranked in terms of priorities, as follows-
1. Resolve funding approach for the current medical care plan; potential
annual administrative savings of $60,000, plus projected cash flow and cash
savings of up to $220,000 over a three-year period.
2. Negotiate wit1~ the Travelers for reserve reduction and full experience
rating of life insurance claims; the City will acquire about $25,000 which may
be refunded or be credited to the Special Experience Rating Reserve.
3. Negotiate with the Travelers for a reduction in the present Accidental
Death and Dismemberment rate; project annual savings of $10,000.
At the conclusion of the report, Mr. Barnes offered to answer any questions
which Council Members might have with either verbal or written replies.

Mr. Garry McRae stated that he proposes to pursue those recommended cost

and keep the employee organizations informed on these matters; tho'se recommen-
dations whiah would be subject to negotiation, Mr. McRae indicated he would
propose to present to the Council during the salary negotiations this coming
fall, as part of the negotiation strategy.
The Mayor reiterated that he would like to see a staff comment pointing
out those areas of the Bayly, Martin & Fay, Inc. recommendations which will
have to be discussed during employee negotiations.
Mr. Murdoch suggested that the Personnel Director prepare an implementation
plan for the recommendations for presentation to the City Council, which would
specifically outline the areas subject to employee negotiations and include
comments and observations of any areas of disagreement, etc. By general
consent, the City Council concurred that such implementation plan for the
Bayly, Martin & Fay, Inc. recommendations be prepared and presented for further
consideration.

PROPOSED PARTICIPATION- PROJECT AP~ARO- A SAFE PLACE: Mr. Joe Garza, Community
Relations Representative introduced a proposal that the City of Anaheim
participate jointly with the Cities of Garden Grove and Fountain Valley in the
AP[PARO Project which would provide a supervised temporary residential facility
other than Juvenile Hall, and counseling for runaway juveniles. Mr. Garza
stated that the project is a pilot program having a total proposed budget of
$138,420. Of this amount $124,578 would be provided through Federal funds
with the State's share being $6,921 and the remaining $6,921 would be divided
equally between the three cities participating, approximately $2,500 each. He
related that the Chief of Police encourages this program. The Chief of Police
of Garden Grove would act as Program Director.
In reply to Council questions, Mr. Murdoch advised that there would be a
formalized agreement if the requested Federal grant is approved. Further he
related that as he understands the program, it should provide this assistance'
at lower cost than is presently being provided at Juvenile Hall and therefore,
if the pilot program shows that to be true, this activity would hopefully
supplant the present housing of runaways at Juvenile Hall.
Councilman Sneegas voiced concern that this pilot project not duplicate
the services provided by Juvenile Hall with Federal funds. He further inquired
what the qualifications and number of staff members would be for the project.
He stated that he would like more information on this program than has been
presented, in order to assure himself that the City is not entering into a
program which cannot succeed and to further assure himself that the facility
wou-~ not
County budget for same.

Mr. Garza replied that the facility would have a director, house manager,

Councilwoman Kaywood voiced the opiniOn that this facility would provide
a different program than Juvenile Hall, that of a safe shelter and counselling
for runaway juveniles, and that it could prevent them from getting into trouble
on the streets. She further noted that it might alleviate the extremely crowded
c'onditions at Juvenile Hall.
Mayor Thom indicated he would be interested in the program on a pilot or
trial basis as long as there is a method incorporated within the agreement to
measure the results.
Councilman Seymour moved that the City of Anaheim indicate their desire to
participate in the AMPARO Pilot Project and contribute their share in the
amount of $2,500. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Prior to voting on the foregoing motion, Councilman Sneegas requested that
additional information be provided the Council Members to alleviate the various
concerns expressed, and by general consent it was determined to continue decision
on the proposal to the meeting of July 1, 1975.

median islands along street with Phase I of the construction project was

Mr. Paul Singer reported that since Phase I of the Matreyek Homes project
is located in the vicinity of the southerly extension of Romneya Drive and
La Palma Avenue, and no impact is expected from this phase on Medical Center
Drive, it is recommended that the requested relief from requirement in Condition

_R~4QUEST - MAGNOLIA SCHOOL DISTRICT - RELOCATION OF CROSSWALK AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL
.............. o~~v~ v~ oL, vAD~=i' Ai~D ba,.m ~v~,mu.~- Request from ~pencer-E. Covert,
District Superintendent of Schools, l~tagnolia School District, relative to the
intersection of Broadway and Dale immediately in front of the Dr. Albert
Schweitzer School was submitted. Dr. Covert described this intersection as
hazardous inasmuch as the elementary school children enroute to school are
placed in jeopardy as they are confronted with motorists who find it difficult
to comply with the existing traffic signals and crosswalks. The letter further
related that the Board of Trustees, Magnolia School District desired that the
City of Anaheim modify the signalized intersection of Broadway and Dale Avenue
via the implementation of Plan No. E (plan attached to the letter dated January
10, 1975) or some other alternative plan as soon as possible.
Following Council review of the proposed Plan No. E, Councilman Sneegas
voiced the opinion that this would not correct the situation but rather would
create a long intersection and drivers caught in between the two signals would
most likely travel on through to clear said intersection, thereby continuing
the confrontation between students in the southerly crosswalk. He voiced the
opinion that a better situation would be to relocate the school driveway to the
southerly end of the school property.
Dr. Covert responded that this was considered but the school property is
not of sufficient width to accomplish this and align the driveway with Broadway.
Brief discussion ensued during which alternative solutions were suggested
such as the repainting of crosswalks and placement of a sign showing motorists
where to stop.
Mr. Singer advised that he had reviewed the physical situation and dis-
cussed the matter with school officials. He indicated that in his opinion
there is sufficient width on the school property to relocate the driveway as
suggested, and this would require minor relocation of two signal standards to
the north to accommodate the driveway at a cost of $2,200. The school driveway
would then form the west leg of the intersection and this arrangement would
provide for all traffic turn movements. He stated that relocation of the
crosswalks as suggested in Plan No. E would not eliminate the vehicle turning
for ingress and egress to the school across the crosswalk. He stated that
there is a 10-foot space which would provide a driveway of the same width as
the existing drive, which would intersect with Broadway. Mr. Singer advised
that the alternative of placement of the school driveway to the south was the
plan recommended by the School Traffic Safety Committee.
At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Seymour noted that following
the plan recommended by the School District would result in maneuvers which
will still leave an unsafe condition, apparently to save the cost of relocating
the driveway. He voiced the opinion that the best method would be to line the
driveway up with Broadway and place the crosswalk in the traditional fashion,
since this is what a driver expects.
.
It was noted that the costs to the School District to accomplish this
would be $2,200, as well as the $2,200 cost to the City for minor signal
modification.
Councilman Seymour moved that the recommendation of the City Traffic
Engineer and School Traffic Safety Committee be implemented, and that the City
pay for minor signal modifications which would be necessary as a result of the
driveway relocation, not to exceed $2,200. Councilman Sneegas seconded the
motion. Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDY - REDUCTION OF SPEED LIMIT- SANTA ANA CANYON ROAD-
Mrs. Hougard advised that in response to request made by Councilwoman Kaywood
that investigations be conducted into the possibility of reducing the speed
limit on portions of Santa Ana Canyon Road within the City of Anaheim from
55 to 35 mph, a comprehensive traffic engineering speed survey was completed on
this road in conjunction with a City-wide speed surveillance study. The results
of that,_ study are~,brought to Council for determination as to whether or not they
~'~~ ~ ccns~'der o5 m?h or 45 mpi~ as tz~e ~==u limit for Santa Ana Canyon Road
within the City of Anaheim. This would be incorporated into an ordinance which
will designate speed limits on various streets throughout the City limits.
75-586
~!ty Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- June 24, 1975, 1'30 P.M.
mended by the Canyon Area General Planning Task Force and that part of the
rationale for this reduction was that 55 mph is currently the maximum speed
limit on freeways and that Santa Ana Canyon Road is not designed for that
speed.
Mr. Singer pointed out that according to the traffic surveillance study
the prevailing speeds recorded on Santa Ana Canyon Road were from 56 to 60 mph.
He described the formula which the City may use in determining a reduced speed,
as provided in the California Vehicle Code Section No. 22358. Based on the
results of the study conducted, as well as ancillary considerations, the Engineer-
ing Division recommends that the speed be lowered to 45 mph for that portion of
Santa Ana Canyon Road within the City of Anaheim. He indicated that posting a
speed lower than that which was developed through the appropCiate formula would
be considered an illegal speed limit.
Councilwoman Kaywood voiced the opinion that the reason the speed sur-
veillance study results range between 56 to 60 mph is that the road is currently
posted for 55 mph maximum and most drivers will not voluntarily travel slower
than the posted limit. She indicated that many of the residents are concerned
and desire the speed limit lowered and noted that the Riverside Freeway' is
available for those who wish to travel faster. Councilwoman Kaywood moved that
the maximum speed limit for that portion of Santa Ana Canyon Road within the
City of Anaheim be designated at 35 mph.
The foregoing motion died for a lack of a second.
Councilman Sneegas stated that from the results of this speed surveillance
study it would be difficult to justify even a reduction to 45.mph.
Mr. Singer stated that because the road has wide shoulders without physical
separation from the roadway itself which encourages bicycle and pedestrian use,
and further because of left-turn access at.various uncontrolled points, the
· Engineering Division feels the reduction to 45 mph can be Justified.
Councilman Seymour moved that the designated.speed limit on Santa Ana
Canyon Road within the City of Anaheim be lowered to 45 mph as recommended by
the City Traffic Engineer. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. Councilman
Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.
DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS TRAFFIC CONTROL EQUIPMENT- CITY OF GUSTAVO DIAZ ORDAS.,~
TAMAULIPAS, MEXICO: Request was submitted by Mr. Israel Mendiola on behalf of
the City of Gustavo Diaz Ordas, Tamaulipas, Mexico, to acquire traffic signal
control equipment which has become surplus over a period of 'years due to replace-
ment with more modern equipment. Also submitted was report dated June 3, 1975
from the City Engineer, advising that the need for said equipment was for use
in protecting school children on the main thoroughfares of the Mexican city;
that enough used equipment to provide a complete traffic s£gna.1 for an intersec-
tion is available, which is not usable on Anaheim streets because it does not
meet federal standards.
On motion by Councilman Seymour, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City
Council authorized the disposal of surplus traffic control equipment to the
City of Gustavo Diaz Ordas, Tamaulipas, Mexico, for a token charge of $1.00, as
recommended by the City Engineer. Councilman Pebley absent. MOTION CARRIED.

PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT- HELICOPTER ENGINE: Mr. Murdoch presented recommendations
from Police Chief Bastrup that the City purchase a factory rebuilt helicopter
engine which is available at reduced cost. Chief Bastrup indicates that this
would result in increased utilization of existing equipment and personnel time
since it will be available for immediate installation when needed, and therefore
the aircraft would be out of service for maintenance one or two days rather
than six to seven weeks. The total price of the rebuilt helicopter engine is
$6,014.02.
Mr. Murdoch further advised that if Council approves the purchase of the
engine, it would also be in order to amend the revenue sharing budget, taking
$6,050 from the balance remaining from funds allocated for purchase of police
vehicles.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the City
Council authorized the purchase of one Lycoming H10-360-DIA factory rebuilt
helicopter engine from Tallmantz Aviation, Inc., in the amount of $6,014.02,
including tax, and further authorized transfer of $6,050 from Account No. 500-
