Mayor Pebley asked if the applicant wished to address the City Council. Mr° Martin Ostrow, 9171 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, ad- dressed the Council noting that the proposed ordinance was drafted after extensive study, both by the Anaheim and Buena Park staffs as well as the principals of Anaheim Rapid Transit Systems, Inco, (ARTS). He reported that the Buena Park City Council had not yet approved the proposed ordi- nance; however, their staff was in accord with provisions thereof. Mr. Ostrow referred to the presentation made to the City Council this date by the Dashaveyor Corporation illustrating power units currently available, pointing out that there were several companies presently in this field; that the actual configuration of the ultimate custom built passenger carrying vehicle to be used would be determined at a later date. He distributed for Council review renderings of two other types of vehicles, one being a monorail system from Universal Design, Ltd.; the other a car suspended from an overhead track, from General Electric; and he noted all configurations were subject to change. He advised that the best design to meet the needs of the proposed operation would be determined by an engineer- ing survey. (Councilman Schutte entered the meeting, 1:40 P.M.) Councilman Dutton stated that he had no objection to the proposed ordinance, provided it met the approval of the City Attorney's office; however, he asked the names of the principals of the corporation. 10504 ~ity Hall~ Anaheim~ California COE~CiL MINUTES ~ December 5~ 1967~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Ostrow reported that he was President of the corporation; that he had been a practicing attorney in the State of California for nearly seven- teen years~ that the Secretary was Mr~ Milton Jenkins, who was connected with the Union Pacific Railroad~ and the Treasurer was Rector L. Coons, o£ Rex Construction, Inc~ He listed the Board of Advisors as follows~ Messrso Jay De Dapper; Richard Gay~ Lawrence Henderson~ Bernard Jordan; Russell Knott~ Richard Lyon~ David Richards and Cedric Ta]liso Mr~ Ostrow briefed the back=, ground of each participant, stating it was expected that the Board would be a liaison between the corporation and the communities which they intended to serve~ Relative t~ financial capacity~ Mr. Cstrow further advised that the financing possibilities would be a private investment of three cr four indi~ viduals~ or a public sale of stcck~ cr the matter could be acc~3mplished by underwriting~ He noted cost estimates they had received, ranging from Dasha- veyor at $500,000~00 pe~ mile~ to General Electric Company's anticipated $2,250,000°00 per mile. Discussion was held by the City Council, and provisions contained in the ordinance draft noted pertaining to sale of the franchise requiring Council approval. In response to Council q~estioning, Mro Ostrow pointed out that Anaheim was located in the center cf the urban area reaching from Santa Bar- bara to San Diego~ and it was hoped that eventually the proposed transit system would be extended tc serve the entire area~ He was of the opinion that the Anaheim area offered the best potential to initiate the system, and if their proposed study should indicate it would not be feasible to proceed with their plans, they would so advise. Further discussion was held by the City Council, and Councilmen Schutte and Dutton stated they saw nc problem in approving the two year study, at nc cost t~ the City~,'~'~ Anabeim~ The City Attorney briefed prcv±sions o£ the proposed ordinance, which was drafted for a forty year franchise, provided that the installation of the system was commenced within two years~ Some of the requisites for Council approval of the system~ as noted,were that it be aesthetically pleas~ ing, and not materiallt detrac~ from any area to which it travels; that the utilization of the streets for pedestrian and vehicular traffic must be re~ tained as the primary use without interference° In response to request of Councilman Dutton, Mr. M.G. Jenkins, Sec- retary of the Corporation, 701 West Rosslynn Avenue, Fullerton, addressed the Council advising that routing of the system would be designed to the speci- fications of the City, and he described the tentative route as a "figure eight" double-loop configuration, having an interchange in the vicinity of Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Street, extending along Euclid Street south to Katella Avenue~ east along Katella to Disneyland and Anaheim Stadium; north on State College Boulevard and westerly in the vicinity of Lincoln Avenue to the interchange; the other ieop proceeding to La Palma Avenue, west to the Buena Park Shopping Center, Knott's Berry Farm, etc., then across the Santa Ana Freeway at Crescent Avenue to the Broadway Shopping Center° Mr. Jenkins pointed out that at certain times, the two loops would operate in- dependently, in accordance with need, and he advised that the other parts of the City not already served would be served by the feeder bus lines con- necting with the sixteen to twenty mile transit system. Mr~ Jenkins further advised that inasmuch as three streets pro- posed for the Rights-of-Way were State Highways, the corporation had presen-~ ted their tentative layout to the State Highway Commission and received tentative approval, subject to the granting of a franchise from the City of Anaheim~ Mayor Pebley noted that this was a public hearing, and asked if anyone had evidence te present before the Council~ 10505 City Hall~ Anaheim, California · COUNCIl MINUTES ~ December 53 1967~ 1~30 P.M. Mr. Milton Mc Kay, General Counsel for Southern California Rapid Transit District, stated that they were interested in transportation and development in the area; that Southern California Rapid Transit District currently had five or six bus lines operating in this area. Further, that as a State-created body, the District felt obligated te advise that the State Legislature has delegated to the district the duty, function~ power and responsibility to establish a Rapid Transit System in Los Angeles County; that they were engaged in this State finapced project~ which in ali. proba- bility would go t~ the ~ote of the people of Los Angeles County in November, 1968. For these reasons~ the District was interested in local transports= tion services in this area, ~s well as the areas of Riverside and San Ber= nardine, since the pew rapid transit system would be coordinated with their existing bus system. Based on the information at hand, Mr. McKay stated he could not take any position on the pr~pcsed Anaheim Rapid Transit System, without sufficient informatio~ and layout of the project~ Relative to the two year commencement provision in the proposed franchise, he expressed concern that the constructi~n could be commenced before sufficient studies and evalua~ tions were completed. He reported that he was familiar with feasibility studies and thereupon related some of the items that must be considered. Mr~ Mc Kay' was o~ the opinion that the existence of the Southern California Rapid Transit District in Los Angeles County should be recognized and considered; that the application under consideration should be submitted to the Public Utilities Commission, and the governing board of the Distric~ have an opportunity t~ rev'iow the proposed routes and the system, and to protest any future expansi~n ~f the proposed system into I,os Angeles County, if necessary. He called attention to other establisbed public and private carriers operating in the Orange County area who would be affected by the proposed system, who sh~uid bare the opportunity to protect their operat~, ing rights. Councilman Dutton was of the opinion that private investment monies would not be risked on such a 'venture without sufficient study and evidence of feasibil, it~ that the proposed system could only aid existing services. Councilman Chandler pointed ©ut that the probable reason for the requested franchise was as a basis on wh~h to make the necessary studies, and at the conclusion of the study period, ARTS would have to go before the Public Utilities Commission, at which time the Southern California Rapid Transit District would have an opportunity to review the proposal and to be heard. He expressed hesitancy to stand in the way of the proposal to conduct such a study~ In Mr~Mc Kay's opinion, a feasibility study should be completed before a franchise was granted; that to have the study available would be of assistance in drafting a franchise. He noted that the Public Utilities Commission would have extensive hearings, at which time his District and other participating carriers could be represented in order to protect their rights. Mr. Mc Kay further advised that the Legislature has provided an Orange County Transit District Law, which would be enacted at the request of Orange County legislators~ which includes the authority to implement the Orange County Transit District, and the taxing power to conduct a feasi- bility study; however~ at the present time there has been no activity on this issue. Councilman Chandler pointed out that Orange County was an entity separate from Los Angeles, and felt that perhaps the ARTS would be the cata~ lyst which would generate other activity in this area. 10506 ~it Hall Anah__e~alifornia ~. £10UNCIL MINUTEi$ December .5~_~1~ 1~i~0 P.M. Councilman Schutte expressed concern that any system initiated in Orange County should have to be compatible with the Los Angeles system. He noted that when this issue was first brought to the attention of the City Council, it was his opinion that the Orange County officials were also noti~ fied of the matter~ Mayor Peble~ asked if anyone else had evidence to present in c. ppo- sition~ Mr. Joe Mallen~ 526 Scot, th Bond Street, Anaheim~ advised that in his opinion, transportation systems ha'~e financial problems~ as t'he Public Utilities Commission establishes the r~utes, rates and rules to the point where a system is ~o 1.~.nger a~der th~ coptro] of the local group or entity which operates the system~ He adv,~c~te~d the feasibility study prop~sed by ARTS; howeve~r, he was net in fa~zor <~f granting any franchise until tangible plans and study results ware available~ It was his contention that should the ARTS, st the cc, n¢~lusicn :of their studies~ determine not to proceed with the prcject~ and s,.,me ether party wished to initiate a rapid transit system, the City of Anaheim would be r.~quired t~ purchase the franchise granted to ARTS, as well as the feasibility study. The City Att¢~rney explained the different concepts of a franchise, advising that the type of franchise being proposed in this instance was the right to utilize p~b]ic th,~rcughfares for a utility operation~ which would be non-exclusive type ~f franchise, granted subject to approval of routes~ reasonable approval ,'~ design~ ere, by the City C~ncil~ and i.n all proba~ bility would require the Public izt[]ities Commissi~n approval in that it rups between two cities~ Mr~ Mullen noted that the wc~rk which had gone in to the prepara- tion of the proposed ordinance ¢.cnstituted some expense to the City ~f Ana~ heim, and it was his feeling that by the end of the study period, a great deal more work on the part of the City would ha'ye gone into assisting the proponents with engineering data and specificatiops~ and in finality the City will be specifying what. sh~:~uld be bui]to Relative t~: the tentative r~;~tes~ Mr. Mullen reported that he had driven over the streets and ~c~d ~hat: f~urt~,~n minutes, at a norma! speed, were required for bis surfac~ tram~pcrtaticn from Knott~s Berry Farm to Disneylando He was of the opini~..p that the prop~;;sed ordinance was vague and needed more work, and he ;bjected to the forty year term and the pro-. vision which would require n~ payment f~;r the first seven years cf the fran- chise term~ The Urban Development program under the Federal Government had jurisdiction over mass transpc~rtatio~, and once a group has received a franchise, it is automatically qualified to receive federal funds. Mro Mullen asked why the Anaheim-Buena Park area had been chosen for this system; the present tax status of the corporation; the possibility of obtaining tax exemptions; the possibility cf federal aid, and what City assistance might be requested. Mayor Pebley asked if the gentleman was associated with another transportation company. Mr~ Mullen replied in the negative. Mr. Ostrow returned te the stand and advised he had spoken with Mro Mu]len on the telephone several months ago; however, he had not taken the time to answer the many questions included in a lengthy letter subse- quently received from Mr, Mul]en, as his position cn the matter was evident. He pointed out that the adoption of the proposed ordinance would not preclude any other group from requesting a district franchise, as his corp~ration was n~t asking f;;~r an excl~sive franchise; rather, they hoped to be able to show a feasible proposal and work in cooperation with the City to produce something creative; that they were asking for twc~ years to 10507 ~ity Hall~ Anaheim, California ~ COUNCIL MINUTES December 57 1967~ 1~30 P.M. plan and conduct their studies so that when they again come before the City Council, they will. be able to submit for review the design, the location, the route, etco, in exchange for which they hope to receive favorable con- sideration. Councilman Krein asked why ARTS was requesting a franchise at this time~ rather than at the time the feasibility study is submitted~ Mr, Ostrow pointed out that the proposed franchise was conditional, and would permit them to proceed with the construction, if approved, without further public hearings~ Councilman Chandler was cf the opinion that the corpcratic, n should be given the opportunity t<~ conduct their studies at their own costs, and failed to see any reason for economic concern at this time cr disapproving the proposal, unless the proposed warding of the ordinance was of some cern, Councilman Dutton concurred with the foregoing opinion, pointing out that nothing would be l~st by the City financially if the proposed sys- tem failed to materialize. Councilman Schutte noted that the City Attorney had assured the Council that the proposed ordinance would not grant an exclusive franchise, and he stated that hi~ se.c~nd concern was that any system considered be compatible with the L,:ys Angeles Rapid Transit System. Mr~ Bill Mc Crae, 2641 Norm Place, Anaheim, requested clarifica,~- tion of possible additi:nal franchises, and asked if additional public hearings would be held in the event ARTS submit a good pra, p~sal at the c~>n= clusion of their studies° He felt that this area was a key l~:cation~ and if the propc,nents did not proceed with a rapid transit system, someone else would. He noted that a similar proposal before the City Council approxi-. mately two ?ears previousl./ had initially planned to serve Disneyland, Ana= heim Stadium and KnyttOs Berry Farm; and he felt that public transportation might be necessary fc, r t~e development ~5, f the downtown area, However, he failed to see why the proponents were reluctant to expend funds without first obtaining a franchise if the franchise did ~ct exclude competition, Mr~ Mul]en returned to the stand to again inquire about the cor-~ poration~s tax stat~s~ being of the opinion that they' could qualify' for federal financial assistance for' the feasibility study' which would result in cost to the citizens by way o~ taxes. In reply, Mr~ Ostrow reported that the corporation would be pay~ ing taxes in the same manner as other public utilities; that they previously had no intention cf making application for federal government assistance, however, such a move might be beneficial to all concerned, Mayor Pebley was of the opinion that sufficient evidence had been presented, and with the apparent consent of the City Council, declared the hearing closed° Councilman Krein stated that he would be unable to vote on the issue until the requested status report from Anaheim Jitney Systems had been received° Discussion was held by the City Council and City Attorney rela- tive to certain sections of the proposed ordinance, and at the conclusion thereof, Councilman Krein moved that Council determination on the ARTS pro= posal be continued two weeks, December 19, 1967, for further study and pos- sible modification tc the proposed ordinance° Councilman.
