MOTION CARRIED. REQUEST - RECONSIDERATION OF EXPANSION, EDISON PARK: Request of Mr. Donald Gordon, Chairman, Thomas Edison School-Community Advisory Council, to address the City Council relative to reconsideration of the proposal to expand Edison Park was submitted. Mrs. Margaret Hueler, 1015 Liberty Lane, representing the Thomas A. Edison School Advisory Council, was recognized by the Mayor. She related that the Advisory Council is requesting that the City Council reconsider the proposal of Parks and Recreation Department to expand Edison Park and to develop a road fronting on the park by acquiring nine additional acres of land. She noted that this proposal was discussed and rejected by the Council on January 2, 1974, however neither the School nor the Community organizations were informed that any action was being contemplated. She advised that they have since checked with the High School District and they have been informed that bids for the nine acres adjacent to Edison Park will be closed on March 28, 1974. Mrs. Hueler submitted petitions which she stated contained 470 signa- tures representing &pproximately 250 homes in the Edison Park attendance area, which they feel constitutes sufficient concern for Council to reconsider this proposal. Mrs. Hueler explained that their interest in this matter does not stem from the need to enlarge or improve the Edison Park itself as much as it is to open this park to public view. She noted that the neighborhood popu- lation is increasing because of apartment construction and for this reason additional park acreage could well be utilized, however she stressed that the 74-280 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES -March 26,, 1974, 1:30 main concern in this request is that of the safety of local children. She re- lated that this particular park is much too dangerous to allow even children of fairly good size to use without supervision. She related personal knowledge of the usage of drugs and intoxicants by individuals in this park and related that children have been threatened as well. Mrs. Hueler indicated that the park is well equipped and beautifully maintained, however local parents cannot allow children to use the park because it is not open to public view and it will remain dangerous for children until something is done to open it up. It is for this reason that the School-Community Advisory Council requests that the proposal to enlarge and to provide additional access be reconsidered. Councilman Pebley concurred with Mrs. Hueler's remarks and related that he, for similar reasons, never permitted his children to use public parks 20 years ago. Mrm Hueler remarked that if this is the situation in all public parks, then they should be posted as dangerous to warn unsuspecting parents from allow- ing their children to attend the park unsupervised. Mrs. Hueler stated that it has been proven that an area which .is closed to public view will have a much higher crime rate than one which is open to public surveillance. She described the current situation at the park, noting that there is no access to it even from Romneya Drive and that because of a row of shrubbery, the apartments loca- ted 10 feet from the park cannot see into it. Councilman Sneegas advised that he felt this problem would partially be resolved when the adjacent property to the east is developed since this will provide some additional access to Edison Park. He advised that the Council's real problem in considering this proposal was trying to cope with 10 acres at the price at which the School District has put it up for sale. He remarked that the City just does not have the capability to pay $400,000 for this property at this time. Councilman Sneegas agreed with Mrs° Hueler that this park is a more or less forgotten area and is easily passed up by police cars, but noted that it certainly would be one of the conditions of approval for any development which might be anticipated on the ntn~acre parcel to construct a through street to La Palma Avenue. Councilman Stephenson added that the City Council is being severely cri- ticized by people living near park sites which were purchased some time ago and are not yet developed, and that the expenditure of monies for yet more park land will increase the delay in development. Mrs. Hueler further requested that the Thomas A. Edison School, School- Co,m~u~ity Advisory Council be notified when such matters of c~mL, unity interest come before the Council. Councilman Stephenson asked Mrs. Hueler whether or not the Parks and Recreation Department provides recreation leaders at Edison Park, to which she replied that they do have an on-going after school and Saturday program and dur- ing the times that the recreation leaders are present there is no problem. Mrs. Mueler explained that this park is commonly known as a gang area and these groups, comprised mostly of older teenagers, are in the park for much of the time. Councilman Dutton explained for those assembled that the City employs a formula by which park acreage is provided in the ratio of one and one-half acres per thousand population and that total park acreage throughout the City exceeds that standard, however it is not always strategically located. Assistant City Manager Robert Davis advised that since the Council considered this park expansion on January 2, 1974, there has been no change in the City's fiscal picture. It is still too early in the budget to determine yet what is going to happen to the fiscal situation for next year and certainly he could not rec~mL~end that the City obligate itself to try to acquire this park property. { ] , · III __ I ._ I I J III ' i ' I ~i ' 7~-281 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 26~ 1974~ 1:30 PoM. Mr. Davis explained that all prospective buyers of that nine-acre parcel have been informed that the City does wish to extend the street through° He felt that this would go a long way towards alleviating the problems mentioned by Mrs. Hueler. Councilman Pebley pointed out that when a developer does come forth with a land use plan for the property it might be possible for the City to acquire two and one-half acres or so and expand the park accordingly instead of using the entire parcel; that this might be accomplished as a trade off of the in-lieu fees so that the City would not be obligated for direct purchase of the property. This would enable the City to both expand the park facilities and open it to visibility by putting the street through. Councilman Dutton felt it was pertinent to point out the current dif- ficulty in projectin~ the City's revenue because of the energy crisis and re- sultant effects on the economy which will be reflected in the sale and gasoline taxes. Councilman Thom requested that Mr. Donald Gordon and the Thomas A. Edison School-Community Advisory Council receive a copy of the Minutes pertinent to this discussion so that they may be informed of Council's inten- tion in this matter and, by general Council consent, the City Clerk was directed to forward a copy of the approved Minutes relative to this discussion to Mr. Gordon. REQUEST - lONG BEACH COUNCIL OF PIONEER WOMEN - WAIVER OF BUSINESS LICENSE FEES: Request of Mrs. Bess Levinson, Tag Day Chairman, Long Beach Council of Pioneer Women for permission to solicit for charitable purposes within the City of Anaheim for the period of April 1 through 30, 1974, was submitted together with reports from the City Attorney's Office and License Division ~nich indicate no basis for denial of said request. Mr. Watts advised that if Council does approve a waiver of the busi- ness license fee for this organization, it would still be necessary in accor- dance with Chapter 7.23 of the Anaheim Municipal Code that they apply for solic- itors' permit through the Business License Division. On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City Council granted waiver of business license fees in connection with solici- tation of funds by the Long Beach Council of Pioneer Women for Tag Day, April 1 through 30, 1974, provided that prior to any solicitation of funds within the City, said organization apply for and receive a solicitor's permit.

Bethiaume, 9451Asbury Circle, Westminister, for clarifi- cation as to whether or not the use permitted under Conditional Use Permit No. 1008 would include 30 game arcade machines to be installed in an existing build- ing in conjunction with the existing use, was considered by the Planning Com- mission at their regular meeting held March 18, 1974. At that time, the City Planning Commission, by motion, found and determined that inasmuch as the Appli- cant had been in business at subject location for ten years, allowing the use to continue with the proposed expansion would be within the intent of the Plan- ning Commission's original approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 1008. The City Council took no further action. REqUEST - REMF~R!NG - RECLASSIFICATION NO, 73-74-36~ GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO, 130; ENVIRONMENTAL ~MPACT REPORT NO. 113: Petition from David A. Reed, Jr., 914 Fairview Street, dated March 22, 1974, was submitted for City Council consideration. Said petition requested the following: 1. That a rehearing on Reclassification No. 73-74-36, General Plan Amendment No. 130, E.I.R. No. 113, be scheduled before the City Council three weeks after Mr. Reed has received copies of the March 19, 1974 Minutes, so as to allow him this time for review of same, as the fact of new evidence determin- ation would result from examination of the Minutes of said Council meeting. 2. That no building permits be issued or no specific land use permit be granted to the property which is the subject of this petition until the re- quested rehearing is held. 3. That the City Council ordain, if the Petitioner is denied this request for rehearing, that he has exhausted all possible administrative appeals on this matter and that his only remaining relief shall be in the courts. City Attorney Alan Watts reported that he had reviewed this request for rehearing and that it appears to him that it does not comply with Council Policy No. 105 regarding rehearings.in the sense that the indication given by Mr. Reed is that a review of the Council Minutes of the March 19, 1974 meeting will reveal new evidence. Mr. Watts pointed out that the Council policy speci- fies that some demonstration or recitation of what the new evidence is would be required to be set forth in the petition for rehearing and in this sense, he does not believe Mr. Reed's petition applies. Mr. David A. Reed, Jr., was recognized by the Mayor and advised that he was in the hospital receiving emergency treatment on the date of the hearing and therefore was unable to attend, although he had planned to present evidence which is the result of extensive research on his part. Mr. Reed outlined and smLmmrized the extent of his preparation to appear before Council which began with a position of neutrality previous to the City Planning Commission hearing° Mr. Reed stated that originally, after the Planning Commission hearing on subject zoning action, he had all of the earmarks of an irate citizen, how- ever on the prodding of his wife, he decided to utilize his previous experience as a structural engineer for the City of Long Beach and to review all of the laws and ordinances and the changes therein, and present to the best of his knowledge, those co,m~ents which are pertinent. Mr. Reed stressed that since February 20, 1974, he has spent the equivalent of 6~ work weeks researching information which may be pertinent to the zoning action on the property owned by the Morman Church. He further noted that most of the information he has gathered is on behalf of the City of Anaheim itself. He indicated the voluminous amounts of copies of applicable ordinances 74-285 City Hallt Anaheimt California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 26, 1974, 1:30 P.M. and sections from the Uniform Building Codes and Uniform Housing Act and notes which he has accumulated during his research and advised that he has compared these with the variations which charter cities may have and has reviewad the E.I.R. as well and feels that there are some things which have not been said. Further, there are certain statements in the E.I.R. which leave some doubts in his mind. He noted that all of this relates to terminology and not to what a person did or did not do in the legal sense. Rather that the terminology which exists in the ordinances and E.I.R. is of such a nature that people could be misinformed or that words were used which have meanings in the real estate business which are not the same definitions in the Zoning Ordinance or in pos~ tions of law. Therefore he requests the rehearing on the basis that he could not attend the original hearing, and further, that such rehearing be held~at a public meeting and at night. In addition, since he has just recently learned that appeal fees. are one-halfof the original filing fees, he requested that these be waived for this particular hearing. He related that he has already spent considerable amounts of time and money to obtain the information he wishes to present. Mr. Reed further explained that he feels that certain elements are missing from the consideration of these zoning matters, and these pertain to the fact that in the City of Anaheim Zoning Ordinances there are words which do not have the same meaning as used in the State Housing Act. He pointed out that the State of California takes the trouble to make the language within the Building Ordinance and Housing Act conform and that the State Code indicates such terms should be included in the ordinances proposed by counties and cities. The Govermment Code states that the city ordinances should contain at least what the State Housing Act has and that ordinances should be amended wherein these might differ. One of the greatest overriding issues involved is the PC Zone and exceptional uses granted for it. Councilman Pebley asked the City Attorney whether or not an affir- mative answer to Mr. Reed's request for rehearing would place the City in a vulnerable position as far as liability towards the owners and developers of the property are concerned, since, in his experience once approval of the zoning petition is obtained, a developer proceeds with financial arrangements. Mr. Watts advised that there is a point at which the developer would have vested rights or the equivalent thereo~ however the Council is substantially in abeyance of that period of time. Further Mr. Watts pointed out that the real issue under consideration is whether or not there is new evidence to be presented, and that, listening to Mr. Reed, so far he has indicated not that he wishes to present new evidence, but that he wants to talk about the zoning laws. Mr. Reed contended that since he was not able to be present at the March 19, 1974 public hearing, it would be difficult for him to ascertain as to whether or not the evidence which he is to present is new. He advised that he has requested a copy of the Minutes, however these are not ready as yet and although the City Clerk has offered to let him listen to the tape of said meet- ing, he doubted that he could adequately absorb and review two hours of evidence, as was presented, by listening to the tape. He advised that he strongly feels that he does have new evidence since not many people take the time to research something as thoroughly as he has. He advised that he has offered to the Morman Church an opportunity to review and evaluate his entire body of evidence, re- serving only his constitutional rights to file the rehearing request and to fully affect all of the legislative appeals which he possibly can to correct the position which exists in this matteg and if unable to correct it here via the City Council, he will have established what he needs to go to Superior Court if he so desires. Mr. Reed further stated that he feels the City is permitting, over development of land and penetration of R-1 areas by apartments which is impro- per. Councilman Thom asked Mr. Reed to give Council a brief outline as to what his new evidence includes so that Council may determine whether or not it has already been presented. 74-286 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 26~ !974~.1:30 P.M. Mr. Reed stated that one of the most impo=tmm~ factors relates to double jeopardy. He stated that the PC Zone as it is currently configured could permit any and all use zones which the City has in the Zoning Ordinance and requested corroboration of this statement. Mr. Roberts reported that it could be logically argued that if a developer came up with a proposal for a planned c~unity which was of suffi- cient acreage, that the entire spectrum of land uses could be proposed within the confines of that community, including single-family, multiple-family, com- mercial and industrial uses.in a planned community concept. Provisions are made within the PC zoning that would permit adoption of a zoning element to indicate which areas within the planned c~imiunity would be implemented by estab- lished zones. Mr. Reed stated then that based on specific conditions some, most or even all of the City's potential zones could be implemented within a PC Zone. In Reclassification No. 73-74-36, Mr. Reed noted that R-2, R-3, C-1 and R-1 uses were proposed, all on the premise that these are to be residential struc- tures; whereas the definition of an apartment house is three or more dwelling units; the definition of a hotel is six or more guest rooms; a lodging house is five or less rooms; this leaves only one definition for residential, that being a single-family residence, two residences on the smme property or a duplex. A condominium is not a building, it is a legal estate of ownership in real prop- erty which can be engaged in for manufacturing facilities, private roads or golf courses. Mr. Reed advised that all that the State law says is that a plan- ned condominium project or planned community apartment project is regulatable by the cities; it does not say tha~ this can be a conditional use in an R-1 Zone or adjacent to an R-1 Zone or in an R-A Zone or anywhere else. Everyone of the residential areas in this Zoning Ordinance with possibly the exception of and R-E, has conditional uses of these lands too which are zoned now and as such you have placed this entire ordinance and all of its burdens on the one piece of property. This is not just double jeopardy according to Mr. Reed but .~eopardy in the extreme which places this ordinance in itself in jeopardy. Mr. Reed offered copies of the laws involved to the Council and advised that many of the legal opinions which he has read in preparation are consistent with the opinion which he has expressed here today. Mr. Reed reiterated that 75% of his concern is for the City because when the City begins to lose whole ordinances at a time, it might be questioned as to whether or not the City has the right to keep a char~er which he would not favor the City losing. Also he noted i~ might be questioned as to whether or not the City has special interests in the matter. The net effect of this could be extremely worse than a rehearing according to Mr. Reed because if a Council permits illegal actions,it is subject to misdemeanor charges. Mr. Reed noted that he has been active in c~miunity projects in the past and is proud of his achievements and of the City of Anaheim. He further explained that there is perhaps a constitutional question as to whether or not the Church is entitled to have a corporation considered separate from the Church to receive its profits. Mr. Reed referred to the fact that the area was considered residential prior to the hearing which established the school on this particular property and that at the time of that hearing the area residents went along with the pro- posal, however, they had stipulated that if the school were not built that the area be placed back in the residential zone. Mr. Reed read Section 17.958 from the California State Code entitled Health and Safety Code, as well as the amendment thereto. City Attorney Watts responded to Mr. Reed's presentation with the advice that what he has been talking about has to do with such things as the Uniform Building Code, the Fire Code, the Nationa! Electric Code, etc., which all relate to the construction of structures and have nothing at all to do with zoning on the property. He remarked that this is analogous to comparing apples and oranges, they are obviously different. Councilman Dutton stated that as he interprets Mr. Reed's comments, Mr. Reed does not wish to present new evidence but that he is questioning the right of the Council and the Planning Commission to enact zoning regulations and the legality of these. 7z,-287 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES -.March 26~ 197&~ 1:30 P.~. Councilman Sneegas concurred, remarking it anpears that it is not an argument with the zoning but with the laws whi.ch govern same. He felt that the courts are the proper place to adjudicate his complaints. Further Councilman Sneegas noted that all zoning laws, zn his opinion, are slightly questionable as they refer to the individual property owner's rights, however they are predicated on the fact that they are set up as a protection for all people and are a combination regulation and gentlemen's agreement. He indicated that he did not think that the City Council could afford Mr. Reed the relief which he seeks and thereupon moved that the petition for rehearing on Reclass- ification No. 73-74-36, General Plan Amendment No. 130 and Environmental Impact Report No. 113, be denied. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. Prior to voting on the foregoing motion, Councilman Thom inquired if Mr. Reed's position is that he wishes to submit as new evidence that the application of a PC Zone to a piece of property does pose a hazard to the health, safety and general welfare of the public. Mr. Reed replied that his argument essentially is that he believes the Housing Act does apply to the Zoning Ordinance, that the terms used in these two documents, being different, could lead to a developer utilizing such terms as condominiums, which is an improper expression of what is intended in that these buildings are apartments in every sense of the word. The Mayor called for a vote on the foregoing motion to deny the petition for rehearing. MOTION CARRIED. REQUEST FOR REHEARING AND DECLARATION OF MERIT - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 73-7A-20: (Public hearing held by the City Council on March 19, 1974, and said reclass- ification petition seeking a C-1 designation on property located at the south- west corner of Crescent and Magnolia was denied pursuant to gesoiutzon No. 74R-113.) Request for rehearing and Declaration of Merit, dated ~{arch 25, 1974, including Exhibit No. A, a noise study prepared for the proposed Alpha Beta center in Hayward, California, was submitted by ~r. William Ho :4iller, Agent for the Applicants. The City Attorney reported that he reviewed the Declaration of Merit and the rather lengthy study regarding the noise factor, however he noted that the subject of noise was discussed at length during the public hearing and therefore Exhibit No. A as submitted, with a Declaration of Merit, would not constitute, in his opinion, new and different evidence. He ~oted however that this opinion is subject to Council's discretion. Councilman Sneegas stated that it appears to him that the Applicant is requesting an opportunity to resubmit his revised plans to the City Planning Co~nission and that only the members of the Planning Commission know whether or not they did study the changes which were made after they had originally denied the proposal. Personally, Councilman Sneegas expressed the opinion that whether subject property is developed to commercial or multiple-family resi- dential uses, it will pose the same problem - that of additional noise, traffic congestion and people in the area. Recognizing that the property is eventually going to be developed in one way or the other, he indicated that if the Appli- cant has revised plans and evidence which may make the proposal acceptable to the Planning Corxnission, he would be agreeable to granting a rehearing. Mr. Stephen F. Gallagher, 106 North Claudina Street, owner of 2/9th interest in this property advised that he prepared the petition and Declaration from information given him by Mr. Miller and that he suggested an official of the Alpha Beta firm be contacted to attend any rehearing granted by the Council to attest to the fact that the noise factor can be controlled. He referred to the presentation given by Mr. Peek and others in opposition to the proposal at the March 19, 1974 meeting which indicated objection based on the possibility that the noise factor could be as high as 75 dBA. Mr. Gallagber indicated that Mr. Schmiel of the Alpha Beta Company could present evidence which would indi- cate that the noise element from the proposed shopping center, and in particular from the Alpha Beta operation, could be controlled. Mr. Gallagher further indicated that Alpha Beta can replenish their inventory with only one delivery truck per day. The policy of the Alpha Beta 74-288 City Hall, An~.~eim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 26, 1974, 1:30 Markets is not to open before 10:00 a.m. He stated that the report submitted with the Declaration of Merit (Exhibit No. 2) refutes the noise factor which was discussed at great length at the March 19, 1974 hearing. Mr. Gallagher remarked that subject property, if developed into an apartment complex, would be a higher density project on a 24 hour basis than the small neighborhood shopping center which is proposed. Mr. Gallagher further indicated that four new members were appointed to the Planning Commission since this proposal was originally presented and they did. not have the opportunity to consider the original plan submitted nor the amendment made thereto by eliminating certain commercial uses originally proposed. He concluded with the statement that he felt in all fairness to the owners and developers, an opportunity should be allowed the representative from Alpha Beta to demonstrate that the noise factor can be controlled. Councilman Pebley indicated that he felt this to be sufficient indi- cation of new evidence and therefore moved that the requested rehearing be granted to Reclassification No. 73-74-20, provided that it is first reviewed again by the City Planning Co~m~ission and subject to the Applicant paying all applicable rehearing fees. Councilman Sneegas seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Roberts inquired whether the Council desired the rehearing just granted to be restricted to new evidence on the noise factor alone, and a maj- ority of the Council indicated that the hearing was to be on the entire matter. Councilman Thom remarked that the rehearing is not then granted be- cause of new evidence. Councilman Sneegas stated that according to the City Planning Com- mission Minutes, they did not have an actual rehearing and review of the poten- tial changes made by deletion of the restaurant and Winchell's Donut franchise and that the four new C~f~issioners did not have any of the input from the first hearing. He remarked that he felt the entire proposal should be reviewed so that the four new Co~nissioners have the opportunity to be apprised of the com- plete proposal. Councilman Thom indicated that if the rehearing is based on the con- sideration of information relative to the noise factor, this does not constitute new evidence in his opinion, since this factor was discussed in the E.I.R. and at the public hearing. He indicated that he did not wish to be inconsistent with respect to the previous application whichwas Just denied, and that he would vote in favor of a complete rehearing on the basis that the new Planning Commissioners had not reviewed the entire proposal. However he felt this should be the reason stated as basis for the new hearing. Councilman Sneegas did not feel this would be inconsistent and pointed out that within the 18-page report submitted as Exhibit No. A, there is substan- tial material which was not previously given so that the Council can justifiably state that the rehearing is based on the additional and different evidence. The fact that certain members of the Planning Commission did not have the opportunity to hear all of the material pertaining to the proposal is the reason that the rehearing should not be restricted to the noise element. Councilman Thom stated that if the hearing is based on additional evidence relative to the noise factor, this did not constitute new evidence in his opinion and he thereupon requested that his previous affirmative vote to the motion granting rehearing to Reclassification No. 73-74-20 be changed and re- corded as a "no".

CORRESPONDgNCE - CALIFORNIA SENATE RESOLUTION NO, 77, PACIFIC TELEPMONE AND TELE- GRAPH COMPANY: The Mayor recognized Mr. James Webb, representative of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, 200 South Harbor Boulevard, who had submitted correspondence requesting that the Council support California Senate Resolution No. 77 concerning interconnection of customer-provided equipment to Pacific Telephone facilities. Specifically, Mr. Webb pointed out that the Senate resolution calls upon the California Public Utilities Commission to include in its investigation, a full inquiry into the possible economic impact, of any action which they contemplate regarding interconnection of privately-owned telephone equipment, to be sure that such action will not have an adverse effect on telephone rates to the general public and in particular to low income indi- viduals. Mr. Webb suammrized that if increased interconnection is permitted, the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company will realize an increase in costs and substantial reduction in revenues, and in order to maintain a balance may 74-292 City Hall, Aha. helm, California - COUNCIL.

(73-74-17 - C-I) URGENCY.ORDINANCE - MOTOR FUEL PRICE SIGNS: (Continued from the meetings of March 12 and 19, 1974, to this date, pending the outcome of the March 20, 1974 meeting between the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Energy Conservation Task Force and Service Station Steering Committee.) The City Clerk submitted a letter dated March 25, 1974, from the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce outlining the volun- tary plan initiated at the March 20, 1974 meeting and requesting that the City Council enact an urgency ordinance to allow the posting of signs indicating hours of operation. Said letter also rec~m~ends a call for the immediate end to the California-Orange County Mandatory Marketing Plan. Mr. Murdoch advised that the Orange County Board of Supervisors this date has voted to terminate the emergency marketing program within Orange County. Mr. Joe Conrad, 2262 West Coronet, Chairman of the Service Station Steering C~aittee, of the Energy Conservation Task Force, reported that al- though the Board of Supervisors has determined to withdraw from the Emergency Marketing Plan, this termination will not be effective immediately. Further, he pointed out that the dealers still anticipate some problem in acquiring sufficient gasoline to service the public since the allocation program is still in effect° Mr. Conrad advised that in an attempt to better serve the public, they have initiated a voluntary Anaheim plan and have established a list indi- cating hours of operation of various service stations as well as hours during which they will be dispensing gasoline. The plan is to make this list available to hotels and motels within Anaheim, as well as to the general public and to automobile clubs, emergency centers, etc. He indicated that they already have a substantial list of service station operators who have volunteered to tell what their hours of operation will be. In order to follow through with this program, he requested that the Council adopt an ordinance to permit the ser- vice station dealers to post a sign indicating their hours of operation and hours during~which gasoline will be dispensed. Councilman Stephenson observed that the letter from the Chamber of Co~erce does not advocate that prices be posted and queried as to why this was omitted. Mr. Conrad responded the individual dealers were polled and they in- dicated that they preferred price posting not be made mandatory. He noted that gasoline prices are currently controlled by the Federal Energy CommisSion and the Capitals Cost of Living Council. These prices are required to be posted on the pumps themselves. He acknowledged that there is a variation in gasoline prices at the present time, however he stated there is an approved channel through which customers who feel exorbitant rates are being charged can complain. Mr. Conrad indicated that rather than enactment of mandatory regula- tions, the Service Station Steering Committee advocates that the dealers be asked to post prices voluntarily for the convenience of the customer. 74-294 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 26, 1974~ 1:30 P.M Councilman Stephenson remarked that he has seen price variations from 52¢ to 65¢ per gallon. Mr. Conrad responded that if a service station dealer is charging over the price which he is allowed, he is in violation of the law and that there is a fine of $2,500 dollars per day established for such illegal activity. Councilman Stephenson maintained that the price signs should be dis- played in a manner so that the general public can see them without driving up to the pump. Mr. Conrad advised that the current gasoline market is completely controlled by the government and consequently the service station dealer is required to change his price signs frequently. In some instances, certain dealerships may be 4¢ per gallon below neighboring service stations and that the posting of this lower price would cause traffic congestion by motorists attemp- ting to purchase fuel at the lower price. Councilman Sneegas expressed the opinion that the display of price signs will not help the situation. He noted that just as it is the consumer's right to deal with whom he wishes for purchase of gasoline, the businessman also has certain rights relative to the way in which he conducts his business. He stated that 9~A of the current fuel shortage problem can be attributed, in his opinion, to government interference. Mr. Conrad related that the Steering Committee is attempting to initi- ate the Anaheim plan and that they have received indications of good cooperation from the dealers. Councilman Thom, noting the request by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce that the Council enact an urgency ordinance, inquired if these is~any other method of accomplishing the same end without having to adopt an ordinance to permit the additional signing and then another ordinance to terminate such per- missive period. Mr. Watts advised that the Council could enact an urgency ordinance which carried a specific time limit and once that time period has expire~it would no longer be in full force and effect. Councilman Pebley concurred with the recommendation presented by Mr. Conrad but felt that the sign should also be permitted to carry information as to whether or not gas is available at the particular service station. In answer to Councilman Sneegas, the City Attorney outlined the stipu- lations which would be incorporated into the proposed motor fuel price sign ordinance; specifically that the sign may include the hours of operation and whether or not gas is available as well as to indicate the potential locations for such sign. Mr. Merrill Skilling, Chairman of the Anaheim Energy Conservation Task Force emphasized that although the gas situation is currently relieved, the shortage is not over and service stations will not be open all day and night. Consequently, since station hours will be limited, it is necessary that the public be informed as to when and where gasoline will be available for purchase. It is for this reason that the urgency ordinance is necessary, to allow dealers to post the hours of operation, and if he also wishes to post prices, this can be done voluntarily. Further, Mr. Skilling advised that certain of the oil companies have mandated that their dealers not post prices and a City regulation to the contrary would cause a problem for these dealers. He urged that the price signing and posting of hours be kept on a voluntary basis as he felt this would generate much more cooperation. Councilman Sneegas moved that the City Attorney be authorized to draft an urgency ordinance, to be effective for a specified period, which allows ser- vice stations the ability to post signs indicating hours of operation and whether or not gasoline is available. Councilman Dutton seconded the motion. 74-295 City Hall, Anaheim, ,California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 26, 1974, 1:30 P.M. On Roll Call Vote, at the request of Councilman Dutton, the foregoing motion carried by the following vote: AYES: COUNCILMEN: NOES: COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: Stephenson, Sneegas, Pebley, Thom and Dutton None None MOTION CARRIED. AMENDMENT TO JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT TO FORM MANPOWER CONSORTIUM: Mr. Watts reported that pursuant to Resolution No. 74R-87, adopted on February 26, 1974, the Anaheim City Council approved the execution of the Joint Powers Agreement for- ming the Manpower Consortium° This document was submitted to the Department of Labor and they have subsequently returned it indicating that they would like at least two amendments made to it and perhaps three. Mr. Watts summarized the first of these amendments,the first having to do with disposition of assets of the Joint Powers Agency upon termination of the agreement. The agreement now provides that at the time of termination the assets would be divided among the participants, the County and four cities. The amendment recon~nended adds the phrase to that section indicating that upon termination of the agreement, the assets of the Joint Powers Agency would be divided among the participants, "unless otherwise provided by the United States Government." In light of the fact that the Agency will be substantially funded by United States Government funds and these funds will be used to purchase assets, Mr. Watts commnented that perhaps this is not unreasonable. The second amendment deals with obligations and liabilities of the Joint Powers Agency. Presently, the agreement provides that the parties to it, namely the County and four cities, are not responsible for the obligations and liabilities of the Joint Powers Agency. The Department of Labor has sug- gested this language be stricken and language inserted which makes each party jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the Manpower Agency. Mr. Watts explained that this second amendment could mean that if, hypothetically, $100,000 were obtained from the Federal Government and some portion or all of same were used in a manner which was not specified in the agreement, then each participant would be liable for that $100,000 individually or jointly. He remarked that since the City of Anaheim is contracting with the Cities of Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Santa Ama and the County, as a practi- cal matter, this amendment should pose no problem, however, as a legal precedent, it does give him cause for some concern. Mr. Watts noted that some of the partners have already approved the modifications and that if Council is disposed to execute the amendments, he felt they could proceed with the understanding that staff would attempt to have this particular provision changed. He indicated that since some of the partici- pants have already approved it, he could not evaluate whether or not it would be in perspective for the Council to take a stand in opposition to this partic- ular segment of the agreement, thereby deviating the program for formation of the Consortium from its course° Councilman Dutton inquired whether the amendments indicated by the Department of Labor are mandatory in order to obtain approval of the Joint Powers Agreement. Mr. Watts replied that he has reviewed a copy of the current Depart- ment of Labor regulations and, in his opinion, the requirement for joint and several liability goes beyond these established requirements. Councilman Thom remarked that perhaps the amendment might reflect governmental concern that the funds be used pursuant to the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 and not for any other purpose~vaguely in- terpreted as that. Mr. Watts concurred with Councilman Thom's statement that this is their intent, however, he noted that the 3oint Powers Agreement also permits each of the parties to conduct their own program and suggested a hypothetical situation indicating that if one of the partners misused funds in some way in 74-296 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES -March 26, 1974, 1:30 P,M, their own program, the other members would be responsible. He reiterated that due to the nature of the partners involved, there is probably little risk but that he wished the Council to be aware of the effect of the language. Ne related that he did feel this language goes beyond the regulations of the Department of Labor and that he feels this is a bad precedent. Mr. Murdoch reported that the thixd modification is in relation to the 30-day cancellation clause, specifically that the Department of Labor refuses to honor this clause. From the City's standpoint, Mr. Murdoch noted that a 30-day cancellationwould not be practical, certainly once into the program, the entity should remain for one year. The 30-day notice prior to the end of the fiscal year that the particular party does not intend to renew, which is incorporated into the agreement, would be more realistic. Councilman Thom inquired as to the total fiscal limit of the City's liability pursuant to this agreement. Mr. Watts replied that this figure could not be estimated currently since the only thing the agreement specifies is that the parties will contribute funds and that after execution of the agreement, an application for a Federal Grant will be submitted. Councilman Thom then inquired as to what the potential limit of the grant might be in any one year. Mr. Murdoch answered that it has not yet been definitely determined what the formula used for determination of the funds will be. He noted that one of the formulas which has been strongly proposed by the Department of Labor would place an undue emphasis on parties which had participated with manpower programs previously. If this method is used, then the City of Anaheim will have a lot of obligations at least in the first year since there has been no previous manpower program administered by the City. The City's hold harmless portion would be very minor if this formula is used. Mr. Murdoch further reported that Congressional action is currently being considered to have a maximum hold. harmless portion amounting to two-thirds of the ultimate allotment the first year; one-third the second year and none in the third year. It is fairly certain that some combination of this formula will be utilized, however it has not yet been finalize~ and therefore no estimated figure can be given. In addition, Mr. Murdoch advised that a portion of the monies will be used for a program similar to P.E.P. which will be based on the unemployment factor. He advised that the City of Anaheim has submitted figures showing popu- lation of the area withinwhich a 6.57~ unemployment factor was indicated this past year and this was a rather substantial population. However because the Department of Labor did not have sufficient funds to support the established percentage Nationwide, the percentage point ouwhich these funds become available may be dropped by two points and this could eliminate P.E.P. funds for the City of Anaheim. Totally, Orange County may expect to receive in excess of five million dollars, the bulk of which would go to the Santa Ana area primarily because of the hold harmless portion and because of the racial makeup and unemployment factor.

APPOINTMENT -MANPOWER COMMISSION: Mr. Murdochrelated that recently the City Council discussed appointments to the Manpower Commission and the conflict of interest which appeared to be the situation if an elected official were ap- pointed to said Co, m, ission in combination with a non-elected official. If a conflict of interest is determined,then an elected official would lose his first position. Since this is an untenable position for the members of the City Council, Mr. Murdoch reco~uended that a non-elected official be appointed and further recommended that the City Council appoint Assistant City Manager Robert M. Davis to the Manpower Commission. Councilman Thom asked for a definition of what constitutes a potential conflict of interest. Mr. Watts advised that the opinion was initially rendered by the County Council and is based on the come-on law doctrine of incompatibility of offices which might result in a court declaring that a Councilman or Supervisor holding this office as well as a position as an officer of the Joint Powers Agency has two offices which are in conflict. If so, the remedy would be that the Councilman or Supervisor would forfeit his first office. Mr. Watts expressed the opinion, which was noted as shared by the City Attorneys for the three cities and the County Counsel,that it is extremely unlikely that a court would hold that there is such a conflict. However if they do the penality is untenable,and therefore it is not recommended that the Council take that risk. Councilman Thom inquired whether the same criteria apply to Councilmen serving on other boards or commissions of Joint Powers Agencies, to which Mr. Murdoch replied that the Joint Powers Act contains a provision that if all of the members of the Joint Powers Board are elected officials,then there is no conflict. Mr. Watts added that the County Council's opinion referred to that provision but the problem which he did envision was a situation where there is a combination of both elected and non-elected officials on the board which situation the Joint Powers Act does not recognize. Further he advised that the County does not want to be tied to using elected officials on this board. On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the City Council appointed Mr. Robert Davis as the Anaheim representative to the Manpower Commission. MOTION CARRIED.

MOTION CARRIED. ORANGE COUNTY .TRANSIT CORRIDOR - RECOMME~DATION FROM ANAw~.IM CItAMBF~ OF CONMI~CE: Communication from Joseph A. Wade, President, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce regarding O.C.T.D. actions on the establishment of transportation corridors in the County was submitted and read by the City Clerk. Said letter recommends that the City of Anaheim take immediate steps to: 1. Recommend that a special study be performed to establish the feasibility of a Multi-Modal Transportation center located in the Commercial Recreation Area of Anaheim. 2. That this special study be jointly financed by the City of Anaheim, the Orange County Transit District and Urban Mass Transportation Authority. 3. That this be done as soon as possible, prior to the submittal of Technical Study Grants which the O.C.T.D. is compiling. Further the letter suggests that the Transportation Task Force of. the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, created for input into the transportation corridor hearing, be asked to remain intact as an advisory group to the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Anaheim on areas which concern public transit in the City and the County. Mr. Murdoch advised that meetings have been held between Mr. McDaniel] Planning Supervisor, and the Federal Department of Transportation Representative for this region, as well as with Mr. Riker of the O~C.T.D. in an effort to follow up on the transportation center study and any effects on the Corridor Study itself. The City is actively participating in this pre-planning phase and plans will be ready to pursue the applicationwhen made to the Federal Committee for funding of the Transportation center study. In answer to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Murdoch summarized the current status of the Transportation Corridor and the modifications thereto. He emphasized that it is important'that the City insure that Anaheim passengers receive main line service since Anaheim is the major traffic generator in Orange County. Mr. Murdoch further explained that there are several reasons for accele- ration of the implementation of the transportation corridor, one being that the District does plan to put before the voters a financing method,and that there is also Federal financing assistance available for this type of mass transportation facility. No further action was taken by the City Council. 74- 299 Hall. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MI1TOTES - March 26. 1974, 1:90 P,M.

Speci- fically, Councilman Thom asked if there is anythtng which would prohibit the Co~nunity Center Authority, as the owners of the building, from pursuing such litigation.
