Kathy Smith, Disneyland Ambassador, accepted the resolution with pride on behalf of Walt Disney Productions, and expressed appreciation that the Anaheim community extends to its visitors the same type of hospitality as that of the Disneyland staff~ and expressing pride to be part of the beautiful and wholesome community of Anaheim. At this point Disney character Mickey Mouse entered the Council Chamber and after extending greetings to Council Members and the audience, escorted Miss Smith back to Disneyland. MINUTES: Approval of the Minutes of the Regular Meetings held June 10, 17 and 24, and July 1 and 8, 1975, and Adjourned Regular Meetings held June 30, 1975, was deferred. WAIVER OF READING - ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: Councilman Pebley moved to waive the reading in full of all ordinances and resolutions, and that consent to the waiver of reading is hereby given by all Council Members unless, after reading of the title, specific request is made by a Council Member for the reading of such ordinance or resolution. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Seymour absent. MOTION UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED. REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY: Demands against the City in the amount of $2,044,183.24, in accordance with the 1975-76 Budget, were approved. 1975 CALIFORNIA POLICE OLYMPICS: Officer Jim Watkins, of the Anaheim Police Association, advised that 23 Anaheim Police Officers are scheduled to compete in the 1975 California Police Olympics, which will be hosted by the Ventura County Sheriff Association in the City of Ventura, August 14 through 17. Transportation, registration and other incidental fees for the officers will be paid by the Anaheim Police Association. He noted that Anaheim Officers have competed in the California Police Olympics for the past 5 years, and have won many medals. A problem has arisen in that Anaheim Officers are no longer able to accumu- late compensatory time for the purpose of attending the Olympics, as they have done in the past. He requested that the 23 participants be authorized to attend the event on City time, noting that the average time spent in competition would be 2 paid days for each officer, however, in some events the individual officer would only be competing one day which would create no hardship in scheduling the department's operations. He described the training and competition the participants have undergone, being of the opinion that their expertise would preclude the probability of any mishaps. Mayor Thom called attention to a copy of a memorandum report dated July 10, 1975, from the Personnel Director setting forth certain areas of concern. He requested comments from members of the City Council, indicating he had no objec- tion to the participation by the 23 officers. Councilman Sneegas expressed concern that all activities at the Police Olympics would be subject to Workers Compensation exposure~ in the event of an accident~ if the employees were paid for any part of the time spent in Olympics participation. He questioned how the liability was handled in the past when officers competed on their off time. Officer Watkins advised that in connection with the application there is a waiver to be signed that the sponsoring City will not be held responsible for any accidents. Personnel Director Garry McRae advised that in the past when officers participated on paid leave from the City they were covered by the City's Blue Cross medical insurance, etc. However, in participating on city time, an employee's right to Workers Compensation cannot be waived. Councilwoman Kaywood asked whether all other cities send their officers to the Police Olympics on city time. Officer Watkins replied that only the larger cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego sponsored participation on city time. Over 2,000 officers in the State, representing a majority of the cities, take part in the event. 75-634 City.~all, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 15~ 1975~ 1:30 P.M. Councilwoman Kaywood voiced concern that a precedent would be established if subject request was approved. Mayor Thom noted that the o~icers were participatin$ on a voluntary basis. He was of the opinion that any risk was of a minimal nature, and that this event was a function which the City o£ Anaheim should support by granting paid time for participation. Gouncilwoman Kaywood asked whether the granting of the request might cause friction in the Police Department inasmuch as the Fersonnel Director's report reflected the fact that the Police Shooting Team had recently been denied a similar request. Officer Watkins advised that the Shooting Team would not be participating in the Police Olympics, to the best o£ his knowledge. He indicated his confi- dence that all officers would waive any overtime for the participation period. Councilman Thom moved that the City Council approve sending 23 Anaheim Police Officers to participate in the 1975 California Police Olympics in Ventura on regular city time. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion. Councilman Seymour absent. MOTION CARRIED. ANAHEIM HILLS GOLF COURSE .CONCESSION UTILITIES - UPDATE (YATES INVESTMENT, INC.): Director of Parks, Recreation and the Arts John Collier briefed the contents of memorandum report from Energy Services Manager Henry Wiley, dated July 11, 1975, giving a progress report on electrical metering check at Anaheim Hills Golf Course as directed by the City Council on May 13, 1975. He displayed a drawing of the golf course facility prepared with the assistance of the Public Works and Public Utilities Departments, indicating those areas which should be the responsibility of the concessionaire, the City, and the Golf "Pro". Mr. Wiley's memorandum reported that plans have been completed for sub-metering the facilities to the satisfaction of all concerned parties. He further reported that the cost of the necessary work to meter these interests separately is being established by the Property Maintenance Division. The Council Members indicated that the division of responsibilities as shown on the drawing displayed was the approach they had indicated previously. It was noted that the action taken by the Council on May 13, 1975, was that when a definite cost is determined as a result of the meter installation, the matter of 17 months billing for Mr. Ray G. Yates, the Golf Course Concessionaire, be re- ferred to the Golf Course Advisory Commission. Mayor Thom was of the opinion that some time limit should be established to receive a subsequent report. COuncilman Pebley pointed out that after the concessionaire's separate meter has been installed, the actual amount of his portion of the 17 month's hilling will be easily determined. The City Council determined that it would not be necessary to refer the matter to the Golf Course Advisory Commission at this time. No further action was taken. LEASE OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY - CHURCHILL PROPERTIES, LTD,: The City Attorney reported on proposed lease of a 1.6 acre portion of a 3 acre parcel acquired from the State of California for a park site, to Churchill Properties, Ltd., for the purpose of continuing the existing use of vehicular storage; property located on the north side of Ball Road between Harbor Boulevard and the Santa Ana Freeway. He noted the report from the City Engineer dated February 25, 1975, pointing out that the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department indicates it will be a minimum of 3 years before the parcel can be developed as a park. Mr. Watts recalled that when the matter was briefly discussed by the City Council on May 13, 1975, Councilman Seymour questioned the feasibility of converting the property into.a usable recreation area, and he now recomends that the existing use would be more feasible. The proposed lease is for 3 years at an.annual sum of $2,880, or $240 per month. He suggested that a provision be added to allow for the termination of the lease to be exercised each July 31st during the 3 year period. 75-635 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 15, 1975, 1:30 P.M. RESOLUTION NO. 75R-353; At the conclusion of brief discussion, on the recon~endations of the City Attorney and the Director of Parks, Recreation and the Arts, Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No. 75R-353 for adoption, auth- orizing execution of a lease, including a 90 day cancellation clause.

PERALTA HILLS DRAINAGE POLICY; Request of WilliamMauerhan for clarification of the drainage policy in Peralta Hills considered at the meeting of July 8, 1975. Mr. Mauerhan addressed the Council advising that he is the owner of 4 acres abutting Santa Ana Canyon Road in the Peralta Hills area which he presently proposes to subdivide for two dwellings. In order to obtain approval of the parcel map filed for the property, payment of drainage fees or the execution of an agreement to make payment, is required and it was his contention that since his property drains through Santa Ana Canyon Road into facilities constructed some time ago by the State Division of Highways, and any new facilities would probably not receive the drainage from his property, the fees should be waived. He indicated he would be willing to maintain the drainage on his four acres by means of dry wells, if the City Council would waive the fees. City Engineer James P. Maddox reported that a letter agreement had been prepared as a result of the discussion at the July 8 meeting, which indicates the st~ of money to be paid in consideration for the signing of the parcel map, with the exact amount of fees to be determined at a later date. He reported that the use of dry wells in the city has been abandoned, as they have proved unsatisfactory in the past. He further advised that the reco~m~endation on a proposed drainage policy, which is expected to be presented to the City Council in three weeks, is in the process of being updated; and based on their current figures, the recommended fees will be $1200 per acre, projected to 1980. Subject property contains 4.274 acres, which would amount to $5,128.80 for the drainage fees on the entire parcel. He suggested that this amount be established for subject property, and any difference could be refunded after fees are esta- blished by the Council. Mr. Mauerhan stated he would be willing to sign the agreement on that basis, provided that the payment of drainage fees be required at the time building permits are issued. On the recommendations of the City Engineer, Councilman Pebley moved that drainage fees for Mr. Mauerhan's 4.274 acre parcel be established on the basis of $1200 per acre to be collected at the time the building permits are issued, subject to the execution of a letter agreement that said amount will be paid. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. Councilman Seymour absent. MOTION CARRIED.

In exchange, the City would pay hourly wages for the various Arthur Young personnel categories and expenses, not to exceed $20,000 plus $3,000 out-of-pocket expenses. The work would be undertaken immediately and be completed on or before the 31st of August, 1975. On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Thom, execution of said Letter Agreement was authorized Councilman Seymour absent MOTION CARRIED. ' · UPDATE - SPECIAL RECREATION FACILITY {PELANCONI PARK): The City Attorney reported that his office has been in contact with all parties involved in the development of special recreation facility on the Ranch Yorba development plans (Reclassification No. 70-71-13 and Tract No. 8783), with the exception of Mr. Fingerhut, and it has been generally agreed that an agreement should be prepared which would set forth all of the obligations of all involved parties, when the obligations are to be performed, and by whom. When said agreement has been prepared and all parties consulted, it will be brought before.the City Council for consideration.

REPORT - BICYCLE TRAILS STUDY: With respect to the contract with Recreation Land Planners, Inc., John Collier, Director of Parks, Recreation and the Arts, briefly reported on the work of the Bicycle Trails Committee, composed of staff members, and their Advisory Committee which is related to the Greenbelt Committee. He advised that a preliminary draft of the proposed Bicycle Trail System has been submitted to the City Council, and he thereupon introduced Mr. Paul M. Saito President of Recreation Land Planners, Inc. ' Mr. Saito expressed appreciation to the staff who worked with the consul- tants. He submitted for Council review an agenda of today's presentation, and introduced Mr. Edward Granzow and Mrs. Dorothy Kuhn, advising that the latter performed-t~e bulk of the workon the study. Mrs. Kuhn addressed the Council advising that costs for bikeway installa- tion are currently averaging from $2,000 to $4,000 per mile for a single signing program for one or both sides of a street. Both signing and striping would run from $6,000 to $10,000 per mile for both sides, using the in-city work force. She cited some figures resulting from the intensive study and research by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and noted differences in traffic patterns and regulations between various cities. M_rs. Kuhn reported that bicycles have an average life expemtancy of 15 to 20 years; that approximately 38% of the Anaheim popula~ion are students, and a bicycle count depicted 4,000 bikes on school grounds, locked in enclosures, while school officials advised that approximately one-half of the students do not ride bicycles to school due to vandalism. The City of Anaheim trained and licensed 1200 students in 1974, in addition to the 4,000 counted. A survey taken projected additional figures, resulting in an approximation that there are three to four bicycles per family. Based on the expected increase of approximately 80,000 people in twenty years, there should be an average of. 128,000 students and a total of 56,000 bicycles in 1995. 75-638 C__ity Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 15, 1975, 1:30 P.M. Local bicycle dealers advised that they sold 1200 or more bicycles per month during 1974, and during their top year three years ago, approximately 2,000 per month were sold. The primary group purchasing cycles is the professional adult from age. sixteen to thirty-six. According to statistics over half of the cycle purchases in California this year were to people over fifteen. Adult-sized tricycles are becoming more popular, especially with those over fifty years of age, and this affects the width of the bicycle lanes which are currently established at 5 feet by SCAG. Mrs. Kuhn further advised that the present bicycle accident rate is occurring primarily among those from ten to fifteen years old. The State has authorized its Department of Transportation, Cal-Trans, to work with SCAG to get a unified construction program to mstablish a hostel system joining the State parks. She noted planned arterial trails which will someday allow the cyclist to ride to the mountain areas and other resorts. Cal-Trans also has proposed to connect with the Orange County arterial streets, and the County of Orange has designated ten routes within Anaheim including State College Boulevard, Ball Road, La Palma Avenue, Brookhurst Street, Euclid Street, Beach Boulevard, and in the future, Knott Avenue, and when the Alpha and Beta Projects are completed, Anaheim Boulevard will be included. The routes are funded by the County. It was estimated that the total project, if done at present, would cost $950,314. The first phase would require an expenditure of $735,305 for twenty- eight miles, including ramps and both off-street and on-street bicycle lanes; there being many variables involved. However, these amounts would be reduced by funds available from the County. Mrs. Kuhn invited questions from the City Council. Councilman Pebley noted that on the north side of Ball Road between the railroad tracks and Euclid Street, there are a number of older apartment buildings which have only one garage for each unit, and he expressed concern that if a bicycle lane were placed along Ball Road, there would be considerable protest from the owners of these apartment buildings. In addition, he advised that as a property owner in the City of Cypress, he was familiar with the existing bicy- cle trails in that city, and on one fair Sunday afternoon during a three hour period, he counted five people using the trail in front of his property. In answer to questions by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mrs. Kuhn advised that the County has designated Ball Road as a bicycle route. She was of the opinion that there would be no protest if the Orange County Transit District designated Ball Road as a bus route and limited the parking, but bicycle routes elicit a different reaction. Ball Road has the second highest accident rate in the city over a six-year period, and she suggested that a solution would be to place a bike route on one side only of the street. Councilwoman Kaywood noted that this street is a very hazardous one for motorists, and she felt cyclists would be greatly endangered using it, even though it has been widened recently. She pointed out that many of the Southern California Edison Company rights-of-way are currently leased for Christmas tree and landscaping farms, and inquired what effect that might have on the possible use of such rights-of-way for bicycle routes. Councilman Pebley left the Council Chamber. (3:10 P.M.) Mr. Collier returned to the microphone to advise that arrangements would have to be made so that these uses could be continued and still allow the trails; fences could be erected to separate the nursery uses from the bicycle routes. Councilman Sneegas noted that some time ago, the same proposed routes were discussed at length, and it was proposed to formulate a plan which would separate bicycles from other traffic. In his opinion, today's report discusses the same routes and proposes a large expenditure of funds without solving the problem, and white line striping would only push the traffic closer together on an already busy street. He called attention to the problem of bicycles and cars meeting at intersections, and stated he would like to review the statis- tics on bicycle accidents and note the age groups involved. It has been his past experience as a police officer in this city that most accidents were 75-639 Cit Ha~-~_~_~AnaheimL California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Jul~ 1:30 P.M. caused by inmmture children and lack of parental control. In answer to question by Mrs. Kuhn, he advised he had spent four years as a motorcycle officer and four years in the Police accident investigation unit and was qualified in court as an expert in determining accident causes. Mrs. Kuhn replied that the primary problem was one of attitude; both the bicycle rider and the motorist seem to believe they have the right-of-way. National Safety Board statistics indicate that 50 to 55% of bicycle accidents occur at intersections, due to the fact that children often travel in the wrong direction, or against the traffic. A motorist will move three to four feet out of the traffic path to avoid a cyclist on a street with no bike lane, but where the lane is striped, displacement is reduced and traffic moves faster. She stressed the need for an intensive training program in connection with the advent of bicycle trails. Councilman Sneegas pointed out that for more than fifteen years, the City's grammar schools have provided a very intensive educational program of training cyclists, with a Police officer assigned to that duty. Even so, many of the cycles involved in accidents had been licensed through the program. He was of the opinion that the striped bicycle lanes might work well for Sunday riders, but would not solve the problems of those who ride out of driveways, who ride on the wrong side of the street, who ride with a large bag of groceries which diminishes control, or who ride with one or two passengers. Mayor Thom expressed the opinion that a study such as the one presented today is an attempt to delineate connecting intercity trails. He agreed that the proposed routes look similar to those presented in the past. Councilman Sneegas pointed out that at past public hearings, residents expressed their displeasure at having the parking removed from in front of their homes to accommodate bike lanes. He was under the impression that at that time, the City Council had authorized an in-depth study on how to go about creating bicycle trails along the flood control areas, rights-of-way, and other places where we could truly separate bicycles from automobiles. In his opinion the "Greenbelt Trail" from the Santa Aha River past Imperial Highway works well and is getting a great deal of use, although it is expensive to maintain. Councilman Pebley returned to the meeting. (3:20 P.M.) Mayor Thom recognized Councilman Sneegas' contention that the striped lanes were no protection on busy streets; however, he could see no method of cycling from one city to the next without using the arterial streets; and he · noted that he had never envisioned a complete separation of bicycle trails from City streets. Mrs. Kuhn noted the false sense of security created for the riders in other cities having the striped lanes who ride into Anaheim expecting to enjoy that protection. She advised that the California State Highway Patrol has just completed a nine-month study of the hazards and the lack of enforce- ment of traffic laws~ and reported that these laws are being coordinated toward a uniform ordinance for enforcement. She described the radio, news- paper and film-orientedprogram of bicycle safety in the City of Santa Clara, and advised that the City of Huntington Beach has dropped their accident rate by 15% through an intensive training which involves parents as well as youn§sters, being of the opinion this type of program should be instituted in the Anaheim schools. She questioned whether only one police officer could be responsible for the safety training of 49,000 students. Councilman Sneegas agreed that parental involvement is a primary need, and explained that the Anaheim program is a cooperative one between the schools, P.T.A.'s and the teachers~ and the officer goes out to review the student's performance after training. In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Mrs. Kuhn advised that approximately 2~% of the cyclists in Anaheim use their bicycles for going back and forth to work; however the percentage of those who use them for errands, trips to physicians, to the post office, etc. is increasing and may go to 5%. ' 75-640 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 15~ 1975, 1:30 P.M. In response to question by Councilman Pebley, Mrs. Kuhn was of the opinion that due to the energy shortage and to the fact that older people are taring up cycling for health reasons, the number of riders is increasing constantly. The Santa Ana River Trail opened one year ago with a monthly average of 4,000 cyclists, whereas approximately 17,000 per month are now using this trail. She was of the opinion that where safe and enjoyable cycling is available, the people will make use of it. Mr. Saito returned to the microphone to express appreciation of Councilman Sneegas's concern for separating the traffic, however he pointed out that as in all cities, existing streets must be considered. In some areas, such as Anaheim Hills, he believed the cyclists can be separated from motorists. Mayor Thom commented that on school days, a mass exodus of from 200 to 300 cyclists tares place along Lemon and East Streets and State College Boulevard, presumably consisting mostly of people destined for one of the college campuses in Fullerton. He expressed appreciation to Mr. Saito and Mrs. Kuhn for their report. Acting Assistant City Manager William Griffith noted that there is a deadline of August 15, 1975, to file application to receive the available $29,000 in Federal funds for Anaheim bicycle trails. In answer to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, City Engineer James P. Maddox reported that the soon-to-be-widened Fairmont Boulevard could include a separated bicycle trail, however this would involve additional funds. Councilwoman Kaywood was of the opinion that any new roadways should be planned to include separated bicycle trails for safety purposes. Consideration of the Bicycle Trails study was continued one week to July 22, 1975, for further report as to available funds and priority routes. ORANGE COUNTY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMEb~ NO. 1-75 - ITEM 8: Public hearing was held by the Orange County Planning Commission on July 1, 1975, to consider Orange County General Plan Amendment No. 1-75 - Item 8, Nohl Ranch, and request was submitted to the Anaheim City Planning Commission on July 7, 1975, for deter- mination_of a policy regarding land use areas in the Nohl Ranch area. Excerpt from the minutes of the City Planning Commission meeting was forwarded to the Council Members, recommending that the City Council, in light of the County criteria for removing an area from the "Preserve" status and also in light of the commencing general plan study for the area: a. Recommend to the Orange County Planning Commission that the "Preserve" status designation for the Santa Ana Canyon area be changed to the "Planning Reserve" status. b. Reco~a~end to the Orange County Planning Commission that the entire Anaheim Sphere of Influence Area within the Santa Ana Canyon area be placed in the "Planning Reserve" status; and c. Propose coordination and cooperation between the County of Orange, the City of Anaheim, the property owners, and other affected agencies in a joint planning effort for Anaheim's Sphere of Influence in the Santa Ana Canyon area. Mr. Don McDaniel, Assistant Director, Development Services, Planning, recalled that in 1973 the Orange County Planning Commission adopted a 1983 planned use element to their general plan, and at that time, arguments by city staff that the designation of certain areas in the Santa Ana Canyon should be changed to coincide with the Anaheim general plan were unsuccess- ful. Mr. McDaniel thereupon introduced Associate Planner Bill Cunningham, who stressed that neither the County or the City are recommending any general plan or specific land use, but the request is for recognition that a planning study for the entire Santa Ana Canyon area is commencing. Councilwoman gaywood questioned whether placing the entire Santa Ana Canyon area into "Planning Reserve" status would encourage development, and whether it would prevent subsequent amendments. 75-641 City Hail, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 15, 1975, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Cunningham advised that the staff would constantly be considering all available alternatives in the future. Mr. Horst J. $chorr, representing Anaheim Hills, Inc., was invited to address the Council and requested that the Council amend the recommendations to the County to provide "Urban Area" status to the Nohl Ranch area~ pointing out that the "Planning Reserve" status is one which generates the type of studies which have already been conducted in the Nohl Ranch area and have been adopted by the City Council. He stated that this was not brought out at the Flanning Commission hearings since they were not notified.

REPORT - BUS BENCHES AND SHELTERS: Memorandum report dated June 24, 1975, from the Development Services Department, Planning Division, was submitted recom- mending that the City of Anaheim not participate at this time in the Orange County Transit District program to purchase bus benches/shelters, as it appears that the indirect and extended costs and responsibilities outweigh the benefits. With reference to the estimated City allocation of six shelter benches, Councilwoman Kaywood inquired how the location would be determined. Associate Planner Phillip Schwartze reported that there are more than 300 unsheltered benches now in the City, and selection would be through cooperative efforts of the appropriate City departments. He further advised that the Orange County Transit District has established August 1, 1975, as the last day to indicate interest in participation. It was his understanding that only one or two cities are currently interested in the program. Councilwoman Kaywood requested clarification of the actual cost for the shelter benches. Mr. Schwartze replied that a shelter of the type installed at the Anaheim Plaza Shopping Center would require approximately $3,000 in hardware. The work would be performed by City forces which would be reimbursed by the Orange County Transit District, and maintenance would amount to approximately $150 per bench per year. Mr. Don McDaniel, Assistant Development Services Director, Planning, reported that upon investigation it was learned that the program would require that the money allocated to Anaheim from Federal funds would necessarily be designated for a minimum of six shelter/benches. At the conclusion of the discussion, the City Council took no action per- taining to participation in the Orange County Transit District bus bench/shelter program.

MOTION UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED. YORBA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION PROTEST - UTILITY POLES: Councilwoman Kaywood reported on telephone call received this date from Mr. Jack Brown of the Yorba Homeowners Association conveying concern about utility poles and wires to be installed along the Imperial Highway in the vicinity of the Rancho Yorba develop- ment, and indicating that the homeowners have agreed to an assessment district to eliminate such visual encroachment. Dr. Vernon L. Armstrong, 248 North Vista Del Monte, Anaheim, was invited to address the Council and stated that residents of the area were startled to learn that the City was considering installation of an above-ground power line along Imperial Highway. The Rancho Yorba area directly overlooks this highway, and he objected to such a visual intrusion when the property owners paid for underground utilities in their development. He inquired what area would be served by the installation, and was of the opinion that the City Council should look for alternatives and give further consideration to the matter. City Attorney Alan Watts advised that the 12KV line would tie the system from Santa Ana Canyon Road to Nohl Ranch Road, and preserve the reliability of the system eastward into the Anaheim Hills area. He noted that only one power line currently serves the entire area, and if it goes out of service, the entire system is affected. Mayor Thom advised that the City Council had been advised of the urgent necessity for the installation of the power line, and since the City did not have sufficient funds to underground the line and the developer was unwilling to participate, the determination was made to install the line above ground; the alternative being the possibility of outages in the area. The approximate difference in cost for undergrounding the line would be $63,000, and it has been the policy in the past that the developer pays that cost. Councilwoman Kaywood stated it was of great concern to her that when streets are widened necessitating the relocation of utility poles, the people in the area have never been asked whether they wish to participate in an assess- ment district to pay the difference so that the line could be installed under- ground. She was of the opinion that procedures should be adjusted so that action might be taken before an emergency situation arises. She further pointed out that if the City absorbed the difference in cost, other developers would be justified in terminating their participation in underground utilities for other developments. In response to question by Councilwoman Kaywood, Dr. Armstrong reported that approximately 185 people reside in the development, with another 150 expected to move in. He advised of a Yorba Homeowners Association joint meeting with the Anaheim Hills Homeowners group to be held this evening, at which time other alternatives would be explored, such as installing lines between the school and homes to the East. He requested an opportunity to bring additional information and suggestions for a possible solution before the City Council at its next meeting. Mayor Thom advised Dr. Armstrong that the matter could be held in abeyance, if results of the Yorba Homeowners Association meeting can be submitted by the next regular meeting, July 22, 1975, 1:30 P.M.
