1971/06/0871-314 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 9:00 A,M. The City Council of the City of Anaheim met in Adjourned Regular Session. PRESENT: ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: Roth, Stephenson, Pebley , Thom and Dutton CITY MANAGER: Keith A. Murdoch ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER: Robert M. Davis ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY: Alan Watts CITY CLERK: Dene M. Daoust DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS: Thornton E. Piersall DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION: John Collier DIRECTOR OF STADIUM AND CONVENTION CENTER: Thomas Liegler DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC UTILITIES: Gordon Hoyt FINANCE DIRECTOR: M.R. Ringer Mayor Dutton called the meeting to order and advised that this meet- ing was held to discuss the proposed 1971-72 City of Anaheim Budget presented to the Council on June 1, 1971. City Manager Keith Mnrdoch stated that the proposed Budget as sub- mitted to the Council is a balanced budget, but it does have a series of de- ficiencies that should be remedied if Anaheim is to keep moving ahead at a reasonably aggressive rate; therefore, he suggested various types of revenue be discussed. He referenced the increases in the Consumer Price Index and expres- sed the opinion that a 5.2% annual increase, using 1967 as a base, is as low as can be expected for quite some time; also, a 2% to 3% annual growth increase is anticipated, and thus the approximate revenue increase of 4%% this coming year, 4.9% in two years, and 4.7% in three years will not be sufficient to meet the demands of inflation and growth. Mr. Murdoch advised that, in order to provide the capital improve- ments included in the proposed 1971-72 Budget it was necessary to reduce sev- eral maintenance and service levels. He recommended new sources of revenue be adopted and some of the services reinstated, since they are necessary if commercial, industrial and tourist activities are to be attracted; further, that the balance of funds from new sources be used for capital improvements, which average approximately 13.9% of the Budget. He advised that the proposed 1971-72 Budget includes a total of $5,861,290.00 for capital improvements; all but $875,000.00 is required for items previously contracted for, agreed to by the Council, or are specific fund allocations such as gas tax and park in lieu fees. Mr. Murdoch referred to the capital improvements projections over the next five years and suggested the Council review these at some later date. Regarding the Water System, Mr. Murdoch advised that very little is included for this item in the proposed budget for the next three years, since it is anticipated most of the capital work will be done with funds from the forthcoming bond issue. Mr. Murdoch reviewed the revenue sources discussed previously as fol- lows: AD VALOREM TAX RATE: A 25¢ increase would produce approximately $1,340,000.00 per year. ROOM OCCUPANCY TAX: Increasing the Room Occupancy Tax from 5% to 6% could bring in approximately $300,000.00 per year; if adopted immediately, could bring in around $200,000.00 for this coming year. UTILITIES TAX: A 5% Utilities Tax could result in approximately $2,000,000.00 per year. ADMISSIONS TAX: An Admissions Tax, if adopted in accordance with the suggested ordinance considered last year, could bring in an additional $3,000,000.00 per year; adoption as of January 1, 1972 would result in one-half million dollars during Fiscal Year 1971-72. 71-315 9:00 A.M. City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8~ 1971~ ~:30-PrMr PARK DEVELOPMENT CHARGES: These fees were increased last year; however, the rates still are not up to those recommended by the Citizens Committee several years ago. Request: Councilman Pebley requested a report be prepared for the next regu- lar meeting listing the present park fee schedules of other area cities as compared with Anaheim. WATER RATES: Study of the existing Water Rate schedules indicates they should be increased to assure cost to the City is recovered; a 3~¢ per cubic foot increase appears necessary and this could result in approximately $700,000.00 additional revenue per year; if adopted rather quickly, could bring in approxi- mately $600,000.00 this coming year. Mr. Murdoch advised that a 3%¢ Water Rate increase still would place Anaheim equal with Santa Ana and below all of the other Orange County cities except Buena Park (which city presently is having a study prepared which prob- ably would show an increase desirable) and Huntington Beach (which city has indicated they will follow Anaheim's lead.) LONG-TERM FINANCING: Long-term financing in the utilities area is essential; otherwise, present consumers would have to pay a disproportionate share of the cost that should be spread out over several years; at this time, Anaheim's electrical rates are substantially below competitive purveyors. ELECTRICAL REVENUE BOND ELECTION: Setting a Special Election was recommended, possibly very early in 1972, for revenue bonds for the electrical operation; such a special election would cost approximately $45,000.00, which is $21,000 more than it would be if it were not a special election. Mr. Murdoch further recommended that if such an election should fail, long-term financing be entered into, since it is his belief the purchase of the remainder of the Edison facilities still serving Anaheim is essential. He further stated that if long-term financing was undertaken on the electri- cal system this year, $400,000.00 to $500,000.00 that has been included in the budget for acquisition of the Edison Company facilities could be released. He added that in such an event, the Council probably would include that pur- chase in the long-term financing program, although it would be possible to leave it in the budget if desired; however, it would be more logical to have this purchase in the long-term package. Mr. Murdoch stated that by acquiring the remainder of the Edison Company facilities within the City of Anaheim, a net return of $1,000,000.00 per year could be realized after paying off all the obligations and inte- grating the two systems, and this return would start the first year and in- crease each year thereafter. TIPPLERS TAX: Councilman Pebley noted the recent activity regarding a 5% tax on alcoholic beverages served over a bar. Mr. Murdoch stated he believed the bill had a fair chance of being passed by the California Legislature. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS - PRIORITIES: Mr. Murdoch listed the following Capital Im- provements which he considered most pressing, and discussed them in relative order of importance: STREET MAINTENANCE: Mr. Murdoch stated it was estimated 8,000,000-square feet of street maintenance should be done per year; 4.1 million-square feet is budgeted for Fiscal Year 1971-72. He recommended increasing the coming year's budget to 6 million-square feet which would mean approximately an ad- ditional $200,000.00. He added that 6 million-square feet of street main- tenance this coming year probably would cost about $500,000.00 since some of the necessary equipment already is on hand. 71-316 City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- June 8, 1971, 9:00 A.M. VISITOR AND CONVENTION BUREAU AND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE - PROMOTION PROGRAMS: Mr. Murdoch suggested that some policy matters may need to be changed with re- gard to these two activities. VISITORS AND CONVENTION BUREAU: Even without a policy change, Mr. Murdoch re- ported that an additional $75,000.00 needs to be added to the Visitors and Convention Bureau budget in order to maintain the current program,with a slight increase to the advertising program. Referring to the projects proposed by the Visitors and Convention Bureau, Mr. Murdoch suggested the film program not continue and that only about $40,000.00 be allocated for advertising, thus requiring the Visitors and Con- vention Bureau either to reduce their budget request by about $5,000.00 or ob- tain that amount from its membership. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: Mr. Murdoch stated he had not had an opportunity to re- view the Chamber of Commerce budget with their Executive Vice-President, and thus had no specific recommendations to make atthis time, although something would have to be added to their budget if the Council desired to move ahead in the promotion area. PARKS: Mr. Mnrdoch recommended the program of park acquisition and develop- ment be continued at about the same level as has been done for several years. He noted that the proposed budget does not include a great amount for park development because the existing backlog of funds will enable maintaining the level of development as in the past; however, additional funds will be required for Fiscal Year 1972-73. He further stated that the Legacy of Parks program recommended by the President of the United States may very well go ahead and thus he had sub- mitted a letter of intent to assure a reasonable priority position for Anaheim. Mr. Murdoch advised that if the Legacy of Parks program is approved, it would allow not only acquisition but development of Twila Reid and Manzanita Parks (the Council previously authorized acquisition of additional acreage for Twila Reid Park and budgeted most of the funds for dev~opment of Manzanita Park)~ development of Hansen Park and acquisition and development of Riverdale Park and Imperial-Lincoln Park. He added that the budgeted $1,626,000.00 in- cludes purchase of the additional acreage at Twila Reid Park, the Manzanita Park activity and the $200,000.00 down-payment committed for Imperial-Lincoln Park. A Legacy of Parks grant would provide $813,000.00, although it would mean commitment to complete Twila Reid, Manzanita, Hansen and Riverdale Parks, and thus four parks actually would be developed with $163,000.00 of capital improvement funds. Councilman Stephephenson expressed the opinion that if these Federal funds became available, Anaheim should participate in the program. Councilman Dutton stated that, in his opinion, when Federal funds are granted for a local project, the Federal Government then dictates how a local community can spend those funds. He expressed gratitude that Anaheim is a city well run by'professionals,with politicians setting only legisla- tive and policy functions. CONTINGENCY FUND: Mr. Murdoch advised that $150,000.00 has been included for the Contingency Fund; he recommended this be increased to $300,000.00. ANAHEIM BEACH: Although very little if any out-of-pocket funds are antici- pated for this project, Mr. Murdoch advised it is moving ahead; if applica- tions for Federal grants are appropriately set up, Orange County Water Dist- rict and State and/or Federal grant funds could be used to develop Anaheim Beach. It is expected charges for participation at Anaheim Beach will cover the cost of operation. ADDITIONAL MECHANIC: Mr. Murdoch advised there now is a need for an additional mechanic for the swing shift to assure that equipment is ready for use in the morning. 71-317 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 9:00 A.M. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CREW: Mr. Murdoch recommended reinstatement of the equivalent of one crew for Property Maintenance, which would cost about $70,000.00. LIBRARY: Mr. Murdoch stated that funds for book purchasing and binding were rather drastically cut,in addition to the cut in audio-visual pur- chases last year. He suggested book purchases and binding be maintained at the normal rate, which would cost an estimated $76,000.00. STADIUM: Mr. Murdoch advised that one level of the Stadium Concourse should be refinished, along with the rest rooms on that level, and this would am- out to about $50,000.00. STORM DRAINS: Mr. Murdoch suggested including about $300,000.00 or more for storm drains and added that it would cost about $400,000.00 to complete the storm drain on State College Boulevard up to just north of Lincoln Ave- nue. STREET LIGHTING: Mr. Mardoch suggested an allocation of about $80,000.00 to begin improving the street lighting situation, particularly on arterials. CITY OFFICES: Mr. Murdoch stated that funds would have to be made available if the Council intended to do anything about consolidating City offices, leasing additional space or providing a new City Hall. He advised that the old Bank of America Building on Lincoln Avenue and Claudina Street is lis- ted for sale for $365,000.00, and could provide a minimum type of activity; however, some remodeling would be necessary. He added that utilizing the Bank of America building would allow reduction of some positions since De- velopment Services Department, Building Inspection, Planning and Engineer- ing functions could then be consolidated into a one-counter type of opera- tion. In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Murdoch advised that utiliz- ing the Bank of America Building would allow bringing Personnel or Parks and Recreation Departments into the complex and possibly the Attorneys; bring- ing in the Personnel Department would allow disposal of the building that department is presently using. POLICE DEPARTMENT - PROPERTY SECTION BUILDING: Mr. Murdoch advised that a Property Section Building in the Police Department yard also is desired for this coming year; this building to include the gas pumps. Mr. Murdoch advised that the Capital Improvements projects he lis- ted totaled about $1,800,000.00, although there is no figure suggested for some items, such as the Chamber of Commerce. STADIUM AND CONVENTION CENTER PARKING LOTS: In reply to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Murdoch advised that slurry coating the Stadium and Convention Center parking lots was included in the present budget and thus nothing has been allocated for this in the 1971-72 Budget. STREET MAINTENANCE: Mr. Murdoch also stated that, although Anaheim's streets are not in bad shape yet, those built in the 1950's now need maintenance work and those built in the 1960's soon will need it, and he would like to keep that maintenance up-to-date. 1972-73 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS: Mr. Murdoch listed some of the Fiscal Year 1972-73 Capital Improvements included in the 5-Year Projection as follows, and stated that many of these items are not large, and normally are handled on a pay-as- you-go basis; however, it no longer is possible to do that. SEWER MAINTENANCE PROGR4M: Mr. Murdoch advised that although he had not in- cluded anything for Sewer Maintenance in his list of priorities for Fiscal Year 1971-72, nevertheless he was concerned that something would be neces- sary on this in Fiscal Year 1972-73 since more sewers soon will need heavy maintenance. 71-318 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 9:00 A.M. STADIUM - STEEL REPAINTING: Mr. Murdoch stated that a program for repainting steel on a substantial basis at the Stadium should be started in Fiscal Year 1972-73. SCHROEDER PROPERTY: Mr. Murdoch advised the down payment on the purchase of the Schroeder property will be necessary in Fiscal Year 1972~73. FIRE STATION NO. 9: Mr. Mmrdoch stated it was felt construction of Fire Sta- tion No. 9 could be deferred to Fiscal Year 1972-73; however, that also would require a crew at an additional cost of approximately $320,000.00 at today's rates. PARKS DEVELOPMENT: Mr. Murdoch reiterated that normal park development acti- vity would have to be budgeted again in Fiscal Year 1972-73. POLICE DEPARTMENT: Mr. Murdoch stated that a sizable amount would be needed for Police expansion in Fiscal Year 1972-73, although the present method of using Cadets and other personnel to relieve sworn personnel for necessary ac- tivities is working out very well. Relocation of the pistol range is another item to be considered. CONVENTION CENTER CARPETING: Mr. Murdoch stated that a program for replacing Convention Center carpeting will be necessary beginning in Fiscal Year 1972- 73. MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE BUILDING: Mr. Mnrdoch cited the necessity of construct- ing a Mechanical Maintenance Building at the Vermont Avenue Yard. CONVENTION CENTER TABLES AND CHAIRS: Mr. Murdoch noted that additional tables and chairs will be necessary for the Convention Center. STREET LIGHTING: Mr. Murdoch stated the street lighting system required im- provement which should be done in 1972-73. PARKWAY MAINTENANCE - CREW AND EQUIPMENT: Mr. Murdoch advised that an addi- tional Parkway Maintenance crew and equipment will be necessary for Fiscal Year 1972-73, if not sooner, since the present personnel cannot keep up with the work required. Councilman Pebley, noting that Honolulu does not have parkway main- tenance crews and property owners are required to maintain these themselves, questioned the necessity for such crews in Anaheim. Mr. Murdoch advised that the present requirement of planting trees in parkways has made parkway maintenance a continuing function of the City, since it would be difficult for property owners to maintain large trees; also, that Parkway Maintenance works with Street and Alley Maintenance to get trees in shape before paving,sidewalk or curbing work, to keep utilities lines clear and protect trucks and street sweepers from hanging limbs. He added that, at present,the Parkway Maintenance Division budget is approximately $483,000.00, although that does not include the fringe benefit package, which would increase that amount by about 30%; in about five years the budget could run about one million dollars. Parkwa%/Sidewalk Procedure Ch~mge:: Councilman Roth suggested eliminating park- ways and installing sidewalks along curbs, thus trees would be planted a speci- fied distance from sidewalks and maintained by the property owners. Mr. M~rdoch advised that the Development Services Department and Park- way Maintenance Division have been considering such a proposal and the standards that might be necessary, and since the Council indicated agreement with this proposal,the study would be completed and report and recon~nendations brought back to the Council. UTILITIES SERVICE CENTER: Mr. Mnrdoch suggested the Utilities Service Center be completed, since at present only the shell of the building is completed and it is being used for storage. 71-319 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 9:00 A.M MAINTENANCE BUILDINGS: Mr. Murdoch stated that as the City continues to grow, additional maintenance buildings should be erected, such as in the Canyon area, and that extensions are needed at Public Works Yard No. 2. REVENUES: Councilman Dutton expressed the opimion the room occupancy tax should be increased to 6%, and the water rates increased. He noted that, after expressing opposition to an admissions or utilities tax last year, the Gas Company, Edison Company, California Angels and Disneyland all in- creased their rates, adding that Disneyland has increased its admission price from 90 cents at the start to the present $3.50, and that a great many of the amusement rides there now are 85 cents. ELECTRICAL REVENUE BOND ELECTION: Councilman Roth recommended setting a special election for the Electrical Revenue Bonds to permit purchase of the remainder of the Edison Company facilities in Anaheim; Councilmen Stephen- son and Dutton concurred. Mr. Murdoch suggested that, in order to get sufficient knowledge to the public on such an issue a special election could be set for January or February of 1972. Councilman Roth expressed the opinion that a special election in January or February may not be economically feasible, since the municipal election is in April. Councilman Dutton asked if any Councilman did not agree to having the Administrative Staff proceed with gathering information on such a spe- cial election and making their recommendations to the Council; there was no negative response. ROOM OCCUPANCY TAX: Councilman Dutton offered a motion to increase the Room Occupancy Tax from 5% to 6%. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. The City Attorney's office was requested to prepare an ordinance for first reading at the Regular Council Meeting to be held at"l:30 P.M., increasing the Room Occupancy Tax to 6%. WATER RATES: Councilman Dutton recommended the water rates be increased to meet the costs of the service. Mr. Murdoch advised that studies on this subject should be com- pleted in a couple of weeks. Utilities Director Gordon Hoyt displayed a graph depicting the water rates of area cities versus Anaheim, and noted that a possible 3~¢. increase per lO0-cubic feet would mean an additional cost per household of 80 cents per month, and still would leave Anaheim's rates lower than Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Garden Grove, and Los Angeles, below Santa Ana at a spe- cific point of usage and probably below Metropolitan Water District. He advised that a study also is being made to determine if the rates for very large water users are appropriate. In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Hoyt advised that the last regular increase in domestic water service rates was in 1959. ELECTRICAL SERVICE: Mr. M~rdoch advised that at the time the electrical revenue bond issue was placed on the last election ballot, it was primar- ily to purchase the balance of the Edison Company facilities in Anaheim and some physical expansion; however, no provisions were considered for a 220 KV Transformer Station, one of the items of negotiation with the Edi- son Company. He added that a couple of years ago the Edison Company indi- cated they were going to install 220 KV power and Anaheim would be required to convert that power to whatever they wanted to furnish their customers, with either Anaheim or the Edison Company building the 220 KV installa- tiono He stated that at that time it appeared there would be no saving 71-320 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 9:00 A.M. with the rate they were offering; however, it now appears there would be a benefit if the customer installed the transformer facilities. Mr. Murdoch also advised that another very active area of negotia- tion with the Edison Company is some type of peak-shaving equipment or method - the method of generation in this instance being an obvious one. Thus, Mr. Murdoch stated, he believes that in discussing an elec- trical bond program the areas of 220 KV power and peak shaving should be con- sidered. In addition, some decisions should be made on underground wiring policy. Mr. Hoyt advised that since the current contract with Edison Company expires in July, 1973, the period of 1973 through 1990 was used as a basis for the R.W. Beck Study prepared several years ago, which showed that joint devel- opment of the resources would save Anaheim residents $102,000,000.00 over that period as opposed to purchasing the power at the current Edison rates, which rates may be increased 12~% if the Edison Company application goes into ef- fect in October, as scheduled. Mr. Hoyt advised that another possibility, of Anaheim operating gen- eration alone, would save $58,000,000.00 over that same period; peak shaving generation over a very short number of hours a day would save about $9,000,000. He added that these savings would be after amortization, operating costs, etc. He also stated that at the time they were conducting their study, high voltage delivery did not appear favorable since the rate the Edison Com- pany offered was not a good one; however, negotiations with the Edison Company now indicate this situation will improve. Mr. Hoyt advised he believed acqui- sition of the Edison Company facilities would be a worthwhile venture for Ana- heim. He noted that in 1970 the Edison Company reported gross revenues of $4,800,000.00 from that portion of Anaheim still served by their company; if Anaheim had serviced that area at their rates, it would have brought in ap- proximately $4,200,000.00, which would have meant a saving to the people and an addition to the General Fund of about 20% of that amount or about $1,000,000. Mr. Murdoch commented that $1,000,000.00 going into the General Fund was equivalent to a 20¢ tax rate. He further noted that the Fire Department operation was equivalent to a 65¢ tax rate, and the Police Department would double that amount; thus, the present $1.05 tax rate did not even cover'those two services. Mr. Hoyt stated that if the electrical bond issue was approved, the bond holders would have a claim on the revenues and not on the property, pay- ment of bond principal and interest would be from revenues received from the sale of electricity and in no way from tax money. Referring to peak shaving, Mr. Hoyt advised that two installations probably would be necessary for this - one in 1973, and another a couple of years later, each costing approximately $4,000,000.00 whether the service was performed at someone else's plant or Anaheim installed its own gas tur- bines. He outlined the procedure which would be followed if the Edison Com- pany facilities were acquired and advised that substations to integrate the two systems would cost approximately $600,000.00, the 220 KV to 69 KV substa- tions which probably would have to be ready by 1973, would ¢0st about ~4,000,000., and an additional 5800,000.00 or 5900,000.00 for expansion by 1975; therefore, it appeared the total cost of purchasing the facilities and integrating the two operations would be approximately $20,000,000.00. Mr. Hoyt advised that the investment of most municipally-owned uti- lities across the nation is about 50% long-term debt, 40% current revenue, and 40% contributions from the municipality; whereas in Anaheim the long-term debt is 11½% and about 88% of the expansion is from current revenue~ 71-321 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 9:00 A.M. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES: Mr. Murdoch asked the Council if it was their desire to continue to promote Anaheim aggressively in the areas of commercial and in- dustrial development, tourism and convention activities. Councilmen Dutton, Stephenson and Roth replied affirmatively. Mr. Murdoch advised that the $75,000 .00 increase over the cur- rent Budget he had proposed for the Visitor and Convention Bureau would be a substantial reduction from what that organization had proposed, most of the reduction being in advertising; however, if the Council wanted to expand the advertising portion it would either require additional revenue or reduc- tions from other parts of the budget. Councilman Dutton stated he felt there were some budget items that could be reduced. In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Murdoch advised that increas- ing the Room Occupancy Tax by 1% would provide for amortization of the Con- vention Center facilities and should provide for promotion activities in that area in the years to come. He added that the projected expansion of the Convention Center would add $700,000.00 amortization costs per year. RECESS: Councilman Roth moved for a 5-minute Recess. Councilman Dutton seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (11:00 A.M.). AFTER RECESS: Mayor Dutton called the meeting to order, all members of the City Council being present. (11:15 A.M.). YOUTH COUNCIL AND CONVENTION CENTER MEETINGS: Mr. M~rdoch reminded the Council that a meeting has been scheduled with the Youth Council for 12:00 Noon, at The Palms Restaurant. He also advised that a joint meeting with the Community Center Au- thority and. the Anaheim Union High School District Board of Trustees is de- sired for action on possible expansion of the Convention Center, suggested dates being June 17 or June 22, 1971. The Council concurred, and Mr. Murdoch was asked to confirm either of the suggested dates with the other two organizations. Mr. Murdoch advised that negotiations are being carried on with an organization (A.F.I.P.S.) that would hold their convention in Anaheim every three years, if the Convention Center is expanded. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES: Further discussion was held on promotional activities of the Chamber of Commerce and Visitors and Convention Bureau. Councilman Stephenson expressed the opinion there is a lot of dup- lication of efforts between the two agencies that should be eliminated. Councilman Roth stated he believed the Chamber of Commerce should concentrate its efforts on the industrial and employment situations, and the Visitors and Convention Bureau should concentrate on conventions. Councilman Pebley advised he concurred with the suggestion of the Chamber o£ Cormnerce that a booth promoting Anaheim be placed in the Conven- tion Center for trade shows and for out-of-town visitors. Councilman Roth concurred and expressed the opinion this would be more productive than sending delegations out of town. ARTERIAL STREETS: Mr. Murdoch stated he would like the Council, at a future date, to discuss policy on arterial street standards and probable sharing of these costs as the City expands into the hill area; recommendations to be received from the Director of Public Works shortly. 71-322 City Hall, Anaheim, California - counciL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 9:00 A.M. WATER FACILITIES IN THE HILL AND CANYON AREA: Another future subject of discus- sion Mr. Murdoch requested was on the policy and responsibility for provision of water facilities where there is a differential in pressure, such as in the Nohl Ranch Area, since there are rather substantial elevation changes and it will be necessary to erect small storage tanks to handle the situation; is this to be the responsibility of the water system? If so, the costs must be included in the rate structure. Or should this be a developer's responsibil- ity? Councilman Roth expressed the opinion developers should be respon- sible for paying the costs of providing the proper water pressure. ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Pebley moved to adjourn. Councilman Roth seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Adjourned: 11:30 A.M. Signed ~ ~ ~~~-- City Clerk City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 1:30 P.M.

REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST T~E CITY: Demands against the City, in the amount of $906,159.99, in accordance with the 1970-71 Budget, were approved. PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION N0..70-71-49: Submitted by Geraldine E. Roth, et al, requesting a change of zone from County of Orange Al, to City of Ana- heim R-2-5,000, on property located between the Riverside Freeway and Santa Asa Canyon Road, east of Imperial Highway. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-$1, recommended said reclassification be denied for R-2-5,000 zoning, but recom- mended R-1 zoning be approved on this property, subject to conditions. Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject not-yet annexed property which, at present, is landlocked by the Riverside Freeway to the north, and undeveloped property to the east, south amd west. He advised that since the City Council approved the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone, subsequent to the recommendations of the City Plannins Co~ission, cOn- dition No. 4 could be reduced to the following: "4. Subject property shall be developed in accordance with stand-. ards of the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone." Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present an4 wished to address the City Council. Jeffrey Millet, Agent, 1335 West Valencia, Fullerton, disagreed with the City Planning Commission recommendation that R-1 z~ning be ap- proved for subject property since he had understood the Council had in- dicated that R-2-5,000 would be acceptable for the area in which these 40 acres were located. Further, the property is zoned for mobile h~s under County Zoning. Mr. Millet stated that the 1969 flood had washed away a great deal of the land in this parcel and it is going to be necessary to bring in 100,000 to 135,000 yards of dirt to fill in. He stated that if their zoning request is approved they would comply with the conditions of the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone and would provide the necessary streets for circulation; however, the main problem is drainage. Mr. Millet advised that the owners of the property directly south at the present time are negotiating to purchase gubject pro~rty and that development could not take place until the property to the south and west is developed so that ingress and egress is provided. Assistant Director of Development Services Ronald Th~psen vised that a tentative tract map is in the process of beinS filed o~ sev- eral parcels of land in the area, which is designed for R-2-5,000 and will provide access to subject property. Councilman Roth expressed the opinion that an R-2-5,000 develop- ment could be a desirable one; however, he questioned the advisability ~f zoning Medium Density south of the Santa Ama River in the Canyon Area, since it would set a precedent for other such reguests. 71-324 Cit Hall Anaheim California - ~MINUTES - June 8 1971 1:30 P.M. Mr. Millet suggested a condition be imposed giving the Council the right to review house plans before the property is developed, as was done on 90 acres of property to the north which his company is developing. In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Millet advised that a letter had been received from the Federal Government that the flood channel was safe for a 100-year flood. He added that all of the storm drains have been plan- ned accordingly~ however, they are short 19,000 yards of dirt which can be obtained from the property to the north, which is required to build the over- pass. He further advised that a query to the Flood Control office on using the water surfaces of the channel had brought no definite commitment but that their plans could be studied and then his company was to use its best engin- eering judgment; also, that the same type of letter would be written to the Real Estate Commission as was sent to Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley, with a rider stating that the U.S. Corps of Engineers cautions that the Chan- nel cannot hold a 400-year flood. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone else wished to address the Council in favor of subject petition. James Liberio, 1720 West La Palma Avenue, one of the owners of the 44-acre tract (No. 7419), directly south of subject property, advised that their tentative tract map is scheduled to be considered by the City Planning Commission on June 28, 1971, and they also are requesting R-2-5,000 zoning, since the Council previously had indicated that this zoning would be accept- able. He added that they presently are negotiating with Lyon Construction and plan 5~ houses per acre in their tract at a price range of $24,000.00 to $28,000.00. ' In reply to Council questioning, City Attorney Joseph Geisler ad- vised that it is questionable whether the Council legally has the right to review and approve elevations or house plans; that the quality of development would be controlled by Building Code Standards. Larry Matzick, Ponderosa Homes, 4570 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, stated his company presently is in the process of filing tentative maps on property south of the Kraemer property, and plan to build 1,300-plus square foot, 3-plus bedroom homes on R-2-5,000 lots, which also would include car- peting, drapes and landscaping, so homes would be complete upon occupancy. Councilman Pebley stated he would like the Council to be able to approve the elevations on all developments in the Canyon south of the Santa Ana River. James L. Morris, representing four property owners adjacent to Mr. Liberio's property and south of the Kraemer property, referred to the Coun- cil's reluctance to grant R-2-5,000 zoning because of some poorly-constructed homes that previously had been erected on property with that zoning, and con- tended there had been some poorly-constructed homes on 20,000-square foot lots, and the size of the lot did not control the quality of the home. He also be- lieved the Council should have approval of plans. Mr. Millet reiterated they were willing to stipulate to the Council approving development plans, prior to final zoning. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in op- position; there being no response, declared the hearing closed. In Council discussion, it was agreed the original intent was that low density would he adhered to south of Santa Aha Canyon Road and not the River. Mr. Murdoch suggested that, since applications on adjacent property have not yet been acted on, it may be desirable to defer the decision on subject application until they are heard. Mr. Roberts suggested that, inasmuch as a tentative tract map had not been filed for subject property, the earliest date the Council could hear all of the applications would be around the middle of July. On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Dutton, de- cision on subject application was deferred to July 20, 1971, 1:30 P.M., to allow consideration of adjacent property applications at the same time.

' The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-82, recommended said reclassification be approved, subject to completion of an- nexation of subject property to the City of Anaheim. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council. Jeffrey Millet, Agent for Reclassification No. 70-71-49, which property is a part of subject reclassification, advised there was no objec- tion to this action, even though a decision on their request for R-2-5,000 zoning had been deferred to July 20, 1971. closed.

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 70-71-51 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 1235: Submitted by Urban Realty, requesting a change of zone from R-3 to C-l, to establish a miniature golf course on property located on the west side of Beach Boulevard, south of Orange Avenue. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-83, recommended said reclassification be approved only for the front 300 feet of the property, subject to conditions. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-84, recommended said conditional use permit be granted, subject to conditionsl Report of the City Engineer was submitted, recommending that Hayward Street be retained as a dedicated street for future necessary vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the area, and that the street improvements be in- stalled within 120 days. Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject property, the existing uses and zonin$ in the immediate area, and advised that when subject property was approved for R-3 zoning in 1967 a condition was that the property owner dedicate right-of-way through the property to the north for the extension of Hayward Street. He further advised that d~dl- cation has been made and bonds have been posted for the street improvements. In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Roberts advised that even though the City Planning Commission recommended the C-1 zoning be approved for only the 300 front feet of subject property, ending in line with the backs of the homes to the south, the conditional use permit could be granted over the entire parcel; but it was felt that at such time as the City demands the street be extended through the property it probably would disrupt the golf course which would necessarily be modified and possibly pulled back to the area between Hayward Street and Beach Boulevard. ~it¥ Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINbTES - June 8~ 1971, 1:30 P.M. The City Council questioned the feasibility of building the proposed golf course on 300 feet of property. Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present and wished to address the Council. A1 Paino, Agent for the golf course, stated the original street dedi- cation was made for R-3 development, since residents objected to having cars come into the area direct from Beach Boulevard. He added that if Hayward Street extended to Orange Avenue, it would be necessary to remove an existing house on the nursery property to the north. Mr. Paino suggested Halliday Street could serve the two 10-acre par- cels to the west of subject property. He stated that if the present street dedication must remain as is, it would not be possible to use the back 155 feet west of Hayward Street for a golf course, and it would be impossible to build a golf course on the first 300. feet by 140 feet. He further stated it might be possible to go back 400 feet to the easterly portion of dedicated Hayward Street and make a deal with the owner of the property to the south. Mr. Paino averred it would be economically infeasible to build a miniature golf course on an encroachment permit over proposed Hayward Street, and he would like commercial zoning for the 600 feet since nothing is devel- oped to the north, and the parcel at the corner of Beach Boulevard and Orange Avenue is zoned C-1. Regarding the extension of the street, he asked if the City would be willing to put in the required improvements, since the land had been dedi- cated to the City at no cost. He was advised a developer is required to dedi- cate land for streets and install improvements where necessary. Mr. Paino stated that at this time he could not afford to put in the improvements. Councilman Pebley suggested the front 300 feet could be C-I, and the conditional use permit exmr~d to the east side of proposed Hayward Street; later the Applicant could construct apartments on the property west of the street. Mr. Paino responded that such procedure would be his only alternative. Replying to Council questioning, Mr. Paino contended all of the neigh- boring residents were agreeable to the golf course extending the full 600 feet. Mr. Murdoch stated that improvement bonds normally expire in two years, and questioned the procedure in this case if the golf course is built to the east line of the street and development does not take place until a later date on the property west of the street. He further reported that nor- mally as soon as development takes place on a parcel the City requires the improvements, and in this case asked if the street should not be extended with the construction of the golf course. The City Attorney advised that the street improvements should be re- quired at this time or a new improvement bond be filed. Also, if more than the front 300 feet is rezoned C-1 an amended description of the property would be required of the Applicant. Mr. Paino advised he would be willing to post a new improvement bond at this time and put the improvements in when the City requested them. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in oppo- sition; there being no response, declared the hearing closed. RESOLUTION NO. 71R-239: Following Council discussion, Councilman Roth offered Resolution No. 71R-239 for adoption, authorizing preparation of necessary or- dinance changing the zone as requested to the east boundary of Hayward Street subject to the following conditions: ' 1.

PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 2252' Submitted by Ronald H. and Charlotte Rhodes, proposing to legalize an existing roof sign located approximately 30 feet from an existing free-standing sign on C-1 zoned property located on the south side of Lincoln Avenue, east of Topanga Drive; and further described as 3136-B West Lincoln Avenue, with waiver of: a. Minimum distance between a free-standing sign and a roof sign. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-88, denied said variance. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by Josephine D. Lopez, Agent, and public hearing scheduled this date. Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject pro- perty, which is one of a series of small commercial stores, and in summarizing the hearing before the City Planning Commission noted the owner of the shopping center allocated all the legal sign area to one tenant. Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present and wished to address the Council. Josephine Lopez, Proprietor of the Swan Florist, 3136 West Lincoln Avenue, the property in question, advised she had not known the sign would be illegal when she allowed it to be erected. She explained that the pro- prietor of the drapery shop next door to her business establishment origin- ally had also leased the building in which her business is located and, at that time had erected as large a free-standing sign as is permissible for both buildings under the Sign Ordinance, and since he had paid for the sign himself, he would not allow her to add her sign under his, thus the reason subject sign was placed on the roof. In reply to Council questioning, Mrs. Lopez advised that her sign had been in place for three months and had resulted in additional business since it could be seen while driving down Lincoln Avenue; the sign had cost $600.00, half of which has been paid; her lease on the building runs until August, 1974. The Council asked what action could be taken against the sign in- staller, since he had erected the sign without a building permit. City Attorney Joseph Geisler advised the owner of the property should have obtained the permit; however, if Mrs. Lopez had made an arrange- ment that the installer was to obtain a permit and he did not do it, she probably would not have to pay for the sign. He added that he was certain this would be reported to the Contractors Board by the Building Division, which may avert a similar situation in the future. Mayor Dutton asked if anyone else wished to address the Council; there being no response, declared the hearing closed. RESOLUTION NO. 71R-241: Following Council discussion, Councilman Stephenson offered Resolution No. 71R-241 for adoption, granting Variance No. 2252 as re- quested~ subject to the following Interdepartmental Committee recommendations, said Variance to expire August~ 1974: 1. That subject property shall be developed substantially in ac- cordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim mar- ked Exhibit No. 1. 2.

Report of the City Engineer was submitted, along with report of the Development Services Department, recommending denial in view of the fact that the City had approved the necessary permits which would have allowed develop- ment of the property under the old fee schedule, and in view of the failure of the Applicant to proceed, due to his lender's objections. Following Council discussion, request for waiver was denied, as recommended by the Development Services Department, on motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Thom. MOTION CARRIED.

Also submitted was report of the Development Services Department, recommending Condition No. 3 be reworded as follows: "3. That a 6-foot masonry wall shall be constructed along the west property line, along the north and east property lines where no eucalyptus trees are on the property lines, and to the rear of the 20-foot wide, re- quired front landscaped area fronting on La Palma Avenue.

' CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 1238: Submitted by West Coast Rent-A-Car System, to permit an office use in an existing structure on C-R zoned property lo- cated on the west side of Haster Street, north of Katella Avenue; and fur- ther described as 1733 South Haster Street, with waiver of: a. Code requirement that an office building be a minimum of three stories in height. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-95, granted said conditional use permit, subject to conditions. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1197: Submitted by J.J. McDonnel, WDC Services, Inc., requesting amendment of a masonry wall condition to permit a 6-foot wall in lieu of an 8-foot wall along the north property line of a child nur- sery on R-A zoned property, located on the north side of South Street, east of Sunkist Street.

The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-90, rescinded Resolution No. PC71-41, which recommended C-R Zoning for subject property. The foregoing actions were reviewed by the City Council, and no further action taken. 70-332 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 1:30 P.M. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1074' Submitted by East Anaheim Methodist Church, to establish a private elementary Christian Day School (Kindergarten through Sixth Grades) in conjunction with an existing church on R-A zoned property located north and west of the northwest corner of Romneya Drive and Acacia Street. The City Planning Cormnission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-89, granted said conditional use permit subject to conditions, one being: 10. That there shall be a maximum of 80 students permitted in the proposed school; and that at the end of two years, if the petitioner requests an increase, said consideration shall be made at an advertised public hearing to determine whether or not any adverse effects had been experienced, and whether an additional number of students should be permitted. The City Clerk reported that appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission has been filed by Jerry Moore, representing the home owners opposed to the school, and an evening session was requested for June 22, 1971; also, the Applicants have appealed the decision restricting the number of students to 80. City Attorney Joseph Geisler advised that the original conditional use permit was granted allowing private educational classes in the existing church facilities, at which time evidence presented indicated a maximum of 30 students, although the City Planning Commission did not set a maximum in its resolution (sustained by the City Council by taking no action); there- fore, the question before the City Planning Commission was for an interpre- tation of the original permit and no public hearing was indicated as neces- sary, although because of the amount of interest evinced by area residents a public hearing was held. In reply to Council questioning, Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts advised that discussion with the Applicants indicated they intended to start with about 45 students the first year, increase to about 75 or 80 the next year, and then to about 150 the third year; that according to the Uniform Building Code, the facility could accommodate 152 students; the people who want to occupy the premises indicated the school would be operated in con- junction with a non-denominational church and church services would be con- ducted on the premises. Mr. Murdoch stated that there is some confusion in that the East Anaheim Methodist Church is selling their facility to another organization since they have joined with another church to form the United Methodist Church and are planning to dispose of the property and build a new church. Following Council discussion, Councilman Stephenson moved the City Clerk be instructed to set a public hearing on the interpretation of Condi- tional Use Permit No. 1074 at the earliest date and denied the request for an evening meeting. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7088, REVISION NO. 1 (VARIANCE NO. 2258): Developer, Wil- liam J. Krueger; property located on the north side of Lincoln Avenue and east of Rio Vista Street, and contains 71 proposed R-2-5,000 lots.

The City Planning Commission, by separate Motions, approved Tenta- tive Maps of Tracts No. 7422, Revision No. 1; 7137, Revision No. 4; 7450 and 7449, subject to conditions. Councilman Thom noted that the four tracts are situated in the vi- cinity of what is considered the proposed Yorba Park area and advised that a member of the Board of Supervisors had indicated the Proposed 1971-72 Orange County Budget (to be considered by the Board of Supervisors at their meeting scheduled this date) provided funds for acquisition of property for Yorba Park and, therefore, he preferred to defer action on these tracts un- til some official action is taken on the Yorba Park decision by the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Murdoch noted that if these tracts are approved this date, the developer would proceed with final engineering, and as a result, he would also recommend action on said tracts be deferred one week.

WATER RATES: Councilman Pebley asked if there was anything to report on the proposed recommended Water Rate increase discussed at the Preliminary Bud- get meeting held at 9:00 A.M. this date. Mr. Murdoch advised that the Utilities Director probably would be prepared to make a full report and recommendation on this in approximately two weeks.

MOTION CARRIED. ADMISSIONS TAX: In accordance with discussions held at the Preliminary Budget hearing at 9:00 A.M. this date, Councilman Dutton suggested an Admissions Tax be instituted, to be effective January 1, 1972, or whenever it is most convenient for those involved, based on the ordinance drafted the previous year. 71-336 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 8, 1971, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Murdoch recommended that should such a tax be adopted, along with the change in the effective date, the section that proposes all the funds derived from this source be placed in the Capital Outlay Fund should be deleted, since this procedure would be cumbersome. Provisions of the draft of the former ordinance were readby the City Manager. ORDINANCE NO. 2940: Councilman Dutton offered Ordinance No. 2940 for first reading, adopting an Admissions Tax in accordance with the draft presented and amended as recommended by the City Manager.

BUDGET/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS: Councilman Roth asked if the Admissions Tax, in- creased Room Occupancy Tax, and proposed Water Rate increase would cover the proposed Budget and the recommended Capital Improvements. Mr. Murdoch replied these actions will allow keeping up with main- tenance services in such a way that the program would not fall behind, and moving along rather aggressively on Capital Improvements, depending on the outcome of long-term financing; that $400,000°00 of the Capital Improvement Funds are based on long-term financing which would release that amount out of budgeted funds. He added that if long-term financing methods are approved, the Capital Improvements projected over the next five years probably could be undertaken. ORANGE COUNTY MAYORS MEETING: Councilman Roth indicated he would attend the June 12, 1971, Orange County Mayors meeting at Los Pinos, representing Anaheim.
