The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolutions Nos. PC71-144, Pc71-145 and PC71-146, respectively, denied said variances. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by Donavan F. Fink, Agent for Mobil Oil Corporation, and public hearing sched- uled before the City Council accordingly. Mr. Charles Roberts noted the locations of all three variances and sunmmrized the public hearing held before the City Planning Commission. He reported that these service stations are establishing "self-service" in con- junction with their normal operations, and are requesting additional free- standing signs identifying the price and those gasoline pumps that are sel~ service; the signs to be 12-square feet, 7-feet, 3-inches above ground. Mr. Roberts thereupon read the findings of the City Planning Commission upon which basis said variances were denied. Mr. Don Fink, Agent for Mobil Oil Corl~oration, briefly explained the "self-service system" and advised that the City has allowed installation of self-service equipment at their stations and they have met all requirements of the Fire Department and Building and Safety; requesting now the opportun- ity to identify them as to location and price, as required by the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Fink presented pictures of a typical location in another city, indicating the sign location and copy identifying the self-service island from the other full-service islands. He reported the signing on the corner advertises the full-service prices. In answer to Councilman Thom's query as to whether there was any way of signing within the confines of the ordinance, such as lettering the roof area, Mr. Roberts replied the Staff has endeavored to find a way this could be accomplished and in the past, while not complying technically, small price signs have been attached to the top of the pump islands. Mr. Thompson suggested a possibility of including both prices on the corner identification sign. In answer to question of Mr. Fink, definition of "directional sign- ing'' was explained by Mr. Roberts, being the types of signs utilized in large shopping centers directing people within a large parking area. Mr. Fink further reported that where the combination service has been put into operation, gallonage has increased and the businessman has pro- fited. Discussion was held pertaining to the determination of whether the requested sign fell within the category of directional or advertising, and it was determined in this instance signing would serve a dual function. Also considered was whether the granting of the variance would establish a prece- dent. Mr. Joe Williams, Engineer for Mobil Oil Corporation, reported this to be a new, nationwide venture, the cost saving of self-service being two cents per gallon, and where it is presently in operation, people seem very happy with the program. He advised that it requires a change in the dispen- sers and the electronic equipment installed is expensive. He further stated that when the program was first started, the City required the temporary signs at the station at Lincoln Avenue and East Street be removed, and the gallon- age dropped to half. As a result, a serious hardship can be claimed. Councilman Roth felt, without some type of signing, confusion to the public would result. Mr. Williams agreed to the establishment of a time limit on the variances, and further agreed to move the sign prior to the expiration of the time limit in the event self-service was discontinued. 71-536 ~Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 31~ 1971~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. John Jacobs, D~trict Sales Manager, in answer to some of the questions raised and possibilities discussed, advised that two price signs on the station identification pole sign is in violation of the State law; secondly, the pictures submitted depict the only method of advertising ap- proved by the State of California. Mr. Jacobs also advised that in the last 120 days Mobil Oil Corpora- tion has converted 157 stations in the Los Angeles basin to this operation, as a result, it can no longer be considered experimental. As to subject properties, Mr. Jacobs reported the three stations are now classified as "partial self-serve" and there is no future plan to revert them to "full self-serves." As to signing, it will be uniform through- out the United States. At the request of the City Attorney, Mr. Jacobs agreed to furnish copies of State laws referred to regulating signing, as reported. Mr. Jacobs advised that Humble Oil Company,'Shell Oil Company, and American Oil Company are now implementing the self-service marketing program, and also agreed to a temporary variance for whatever period of time the Coun- cil determined; agreeing to remove both sign and poles at the termination of the variance. At the conclusion of the discussion, on motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Stephenson, public hearing on Variances Nos. 2278, 2279 and 2280 was continued two weeks (September 14, 1971, 1:30 P.M.) for receipt of State laws as requested by the City Attorney, and to further ex- plore the possibility of allowing said requests within the framework of the existing ordinance.

REQUEST - MISSION AMBULANCE SERVICE: Request to operate an ambulance service in the City of Anaheim and be placed on the Police and Fire rotation lists, was submitted by Alan Breckenridge and Joseph T. Klein, together with reports of the City Attorney, Development Services Department, Police and Fire Depart- ments. Mr. Klein addressed the Council, requesting to be placed on an equal status with Southland Ambulance for Police and Fire calls and felt their re- quest should be granted for the following reasons: 1. Their ambulance is equipped with the most up-to-date equipment and highest-trained personnel. 2. The equipment includes an electrocardiograph, cardioscope, re- suscitator, Hare traction splints, etc., and in the near future will include a telemetry system that will transmit EKG's to the hospital. 3. Their personnel are preparing to enter paramedic training, which will enable them to render services and functions previously only permitted in a hospital. 4. Anaheim's population of 168,940 warrants more than two avail- able ambulances. 5. Competition will upgrade service. Reference was made to Senate Bill 958, recently signed into law by Governor Reagan, which Mr. Klein reported made possible this additional ser- vice and sophisticated equipment. (Prepared statement on file in the office of the City Clerk.) Mr. Klein advised that there will be verbal communication between the ambulance and the cardiac care unit at the hospital, and with instruc- tions from the doctor, the patient will be administered to accordingly by trained paramedical technicians while at the scene. As to the cost to the patient, Mr. Klein reported their charges to be the same as presently charged, with the exception of performing an electro- cardiograph, which would be an additional $10.00. He stated all ambulances have established fees for certain services rendered. Councilman Stephenson noted the City policy was to take a patient to the nearest hospital, unless requested di~£erently by the patlant, and in most instances the patient would be at the hospital before any extra ser- vices could be rendered. Mr. Klein replied that their electrocardiograph was designed espe- cially for an ambulance and could be set up and attached to a person with a read-out within 1-1/2 minutes. Mr. Geisler reported that the Applicants do not need a permit to operate an ambulance within the City, and apparently the location from which they propose to operate will require a conditional use permit. 71-538 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 31, 1971, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Geisler related past history on ambulance services in the City, when at one time, payment was made for such service, advising however, to date no payment is made, nor is the City responsible or liable for uncol- lectible accounts which originated by a call from either the City Police or Fire Departments. As to the Southland Ambulance, it was noted they o~erated approxi- mately two years before receiving any portion of the Police or Fire calls. Mr. Breckenridge, owner-operator of Mission Ambulance Company, further explained the paramedic program. He stated that they would agree to supply a direct-line telephone from the Police and Fire Departments to their main radio dispatcher to speed up calls. Mr. Leon Ninburg, representative of Southland Ambulance Service, advised that just recently, within the last four or five months, they have acquired two government-financed competitors. To him this was unfair and unjust for the government to finance two competing firms in an industry that is known for its precarious economical situation. Further, it was his under- standing the Applicants were recipients of a significant loan from the Fed- eral government to enter this business. Mr. Ninburg reported that they completed three years 'in the City before receiving any of the Police and Fire calls. He felt the level of ser- vice has been of the highest, at no cost to the City, and if another busi- ness is allowed to share calls they would be forced into an unprofitable position resulting in a deteriorating level of service by two struggling com- panies. Mr. Ninburg stated that a former Applicant, Schaefer Ambulance Ser- vice, made a similar request which was denied by the City of Anaheim, but granted by the City of Fullerton, and after 14 months of sharing calls, they were removed because the City of Fullerton was dissatisfied with their ser- vice. Mr. Klein advised that they were not a government-subsidized com- pany, that they had a government loan on which interest is paid. He explained the details and appointments of the vehicles used, which is an ambulance body on a Chevrolet chassis, and explained that the type of service they offer is unique and has never been offered before. At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Stephenson moved that the request of Mission Ambulance Service be denied until such time as the Police and Fire Departments advise that the present service is not satis- factory and that another ambulance company should be considered. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Klein stated it was well known that one of the owners of South- land Ambulance serves in an official capacity to the City of Anaheim as the City's doctor, and it seemed to him that this might have influenced the deci- sion of the City Council. He thereupon requested assurance that this was not the case. Mr. Klein was assured by Councilmen Dutton, Pebley and Stephenson that Dr. Ninburg's services to the City in no way influenced the decision. Mr. Geisler further advised the City Council that the accusation made was entirely out of order, APPLICATION - A~JSEMENT DEVICE pERMIT: Application submitted by Laird Dean Hos- kins, for permit to install 2 small pool tables, 3 large pool tables and 10 poker-size card tables at Anaheim Pool Hall, 108 North Anaheim Boulevard, together with Chief of Police recommendations that said permit be granted, subject to the provisions of Chapter 4.24 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, was approved as recormnended, on motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Pebley. 71-539 ~ity Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 31, 1971, 1:30 P.M. Before vote on above action, Mr. Mmrdoch reported, with reference to poker-size card tables which are presumably used for playing cards, that if used for any kind of gambling games prohibited by ordinance that no fee, no rental, or any charge could be made by the house for this kind of play and the Applicant should be aware of this prohibition. Councilman Stephenson noted the existence of a card room at this lo- cation for many years and felt that the Applicant permitted card playing but not gambling. Mr. Geisler stated, to his knowledge, this was the first application made wherein card tables are listed as an amusement device and that his concern was the possibility of the City Council approving a permit that would violate the Code. Mr. Hoskins, Applicant, reported that the card games played are knock rummy, bridge and pinochle and that the players rent a seat at the table in order to play. Councilman Roth asked the Applicant if there was gambling at the es- tablishment, to which Mr. Hoskins explained the operation; the theory being "non-gambling games," but games of skill, the house renting the space and chairs on an hourly basis. In answer to a direct question of Mr. Geisler, Mr. Hoskins stated no poker of any kind is played at these tables. Mr. Murdoch felt it obvious that the Applicant was confused as to what the law says, and possibly the Chief of Police is also unaware of the provisions of the Code regulating this type of activity. Mr. Geisler advised there are games of skill and no prohibition for renting space for games of skill, other games, however, are prohibited, spe- cifically draw poker, and here, according to the application, the Council is considering poker tables and his suspicions were aroused due to the fact that a table that large is not used for most card games. Mr. Mnrdoch stated that his purpose in calling attention to this mat- ter was only to be sure the Applicant was aware that he does have a situation wherein he should be very sure his operation lies within the terms of the State law and City ordinances. At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Stephenson withdrew motion of approval and Councilman Pebley withdrew second to the motion. Councilman Roth moved the matter be held over one week (September 7, 1971) for further investigation by the Anaheim Police Department. Council- man Dutton seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Mr. Murdoch advised that undergrounding can be accomplished, as recommended, however, it must be recognized to underground the City's trans- mission lines would require a substantial sum of money and, if considered, recormnended an analysis of cost be made first and that the report outline the estimated cost per mile by taking a sample segment.

By general consent of the City Council, said analysis and report was authorized. 71-541 ..City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 31~ 1971:1:30 P.M.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 4, CHAPTER 4.16 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING SECTION 4.16.050, SUBSECTION (2) - (Inves- tigation of Application - Special Requirements for Dinner-Dancing Place.) ANAHEIM HILLS GOLF COURSE - "BULLETIN" ARTICLE. Councilman Dutton voiced disap- proval of article appearing in the Anaheim Bulletin pertaining to the Anaheim Hills Golf Course, resulting from an interview purportedly with Councilman Thom. In his opinion, the article was irresponsible and contained semi-truth and untruth. Councilman Dutton thereupon read certain paragraphs from the article, headed "The Public Being Deceived, Says Thom." Among certain statements made were purported hidden costs, such as geologists, consulting fees, soil labora- tory studies, stripping and replacement of bad topsoil, expenditure from Con-- tingency Funds, and items charged to Park and Recreation and Public Works De- partments. Purther stated was, Grant Corporation's commitment to spend $250,000.00 on a clubhouse, expected to cost $500,000.00. Read in full was report to Mayor Dutton from John Harding, dated August 31, 1971, and submitted was copy of ledger sheet for the Golf Course Account 632-925-01-1501, answering certain alleged expenditures and costs re- ferred to in said article. Councilman Dutton reported that for the last ten years there have been plans and an attempt to build a go, course; that here was the opportunity to build it with the golf-playing public paying the costs; all costs being from the revenues of the Anaheim Municipal Golf Course, and this one; the agree- ment with the Grant Corporation written accordingly, that if there is no reve- nue from the two courses, no payment will be made and the property cannot be repossessed by the Grant Corporation. With reference to the haste in which the decision was made to pur- chase the property, as referred to in the article, Councilman Dutton reported Councilman Thom refused any information on the proposed golf course prior to the date Council action was taken. Councilman Dutton stated that golf courses in the nation are vanish- ing green belts and that the government is now endeavoring to retain them by Federal financing. He thereupon reported statistics of the various areas wherein golf ceurses have been replaced by subdivisions and other develop- ~m~ tota!in~ appr~i~atety !0O golf courses since 1968. Reference was also ~;~!~ tet. ke he,:~ri~'~s ~nJ disc~ss~ons pertaining to the proposed "Green Belt" ~ f ~i~:~ Sancta A~a ~t~n-¥o~ ~rea, and Councilman ~tton felt here was a beautiful cq~p~::'[unity ~o get both ,'~ gree~ belt area and the golf course. Referring again to the article, Councilman Dutton noted not mentioned ',,a~, t i,e additional $!.00,000.00 furnished by the Grant Corporation for tennis o~'~ ~ a~.-,~_~ a :~...,'i~mnim~> pool. As ~o the clubhouse, he felt at some future date thais- was a possibility it might be expanded and when that is done, it will be irom the profits of the golf courses. Reference was made to the many hearings and discussions held rela- ti..., ~o a standard project flood and its results in the Can~ area and thc p~',~Jtion the City Council would be in if, at the foot of thex~-million gallon W~i. nt~t Canyon Reservoir', (site of the proposed golf course), a subdivision zas ailowed. Councilman l.~tton felt this information should be from a factual st,indpoint and not assumption, guesswork or estimates, and if there is any c~'it~,:ism .)ustified, it should be forthcoming.
