City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 29~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
of the proposed budget must be approved no later than the 19th of June, and
therefore suggested that the Council review these Revenue Sharing recommenda-
tions in depth to facilitate action following the June 12, 1973 public hearing,
since it is anticipated that there will not be a quorum at the June 19, 1973
meeting.
Mr. Murdoch summarized the status of the Emergency Employment Act as
implemented within the City and advised that 85 P.E.P. positions will be retained
in the 1973-74 Fiscal Year, for which the estimated operating costs is $701,700,
phasing out 21 full-time, 9 part-time and 6 certificated positions.
Using a series of graphs and scales on transparencies, Mr. Murdoch
outlined the authorized employee positions by departments and indicated areas
of increases and deletions. He then briefly went over the foremat of the Budget
itself and the reasons for the various sections included, noting that some addi-
tional discussion regarding the program section may be appropriate when depart-
ment heads are present for the public hearing.
Mr. Murdoch reported on proposed changes in the Police Department re-
garding report recording which will allow patrolmen more actual patrol time, and
indicated how the Brother's Keeper and Reserve Corps Programs will be implemented.
Regarding the Fire service innovations, he commented that the City will
have a functioning three-platoon system as of January 1974 for more effectiveness
and an increase in inspections in the fire prevention program. He also advised
that an agreement is in formulation with the Cities of Garden Grove and Fullerton
for an area response fire system which crosses city boundaries.
Under Public Works section, he commented that the allocation for street
resurfacing should be substantially increased in future budgets from eight
million square feet per year, as with the addition to street footage surface each
year, the street resurfacing program is actually falling behind.
Mr. Murdoch pointed out that two significant items which account for
the 11.5% increase over the current Recreation Budget are the expansion of
women's and girls' activities and implementation of the nature mobile.
The Anaheim Hills Golf Course indicates 17% reduction from the current
budget because the major portion of the facility is now complete; 64,000 plays
for this first full year of operation is anticipated.
Under the Utility Section, Water, Mr. Murdoch reported that most of
the construction in the amount of $965,000 will be financed from the long-term
bonds, the remaining $565,000 to be taken from the water fund. This Budget does
anticipate that special water facilities for higher elevations are to be financed
by the developers (the Rule No. 15 concept).
Regarding the Electrical Division, he reported it is anticipated that
11,000 new customers will join the system in August - September, through the
Southern California Edison acquisition. Construction will begin on the Lewis
Substation and has already been initiated on Sharp and Clair Substations. He
reported that there is still a return from electric and water sales to the Gen-
eral Fund, in the amount of 4.5 million dollars.
Stadium and Convention Center will have a separate fund, which will
include provision for the City's portion of the Visitor and Convention Bureau
activity, and the 130,000 square-foot expansion, anticipating 300,00 delegates
bringing to the community approximately 47 million dollars of spendable in-
come. He reported that at the Stadium 72.5% of the total costs are fixed charges
and at the Convention Center the fixed charges amount to 45%.
In summary, Mr. Murdoch stated that it is planned to retain the $1.05
property tax despite the increased cost of living, and that no new or increased
revenue sources, and no increase in rates, other than the pending electric
utility rate increase, are proposed.
Following the City Manager's presentation, Councilman Stephenson moved
that public hearing on the proposed 1973-74 Budget be set for June 12, 1973,
1:30 P.M. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
MUNICIPAL DATA SYSTEMS - JOINT COMPUTER CENTER: City Manager Keith Murdoch referred
to the report dated April 17, 1973, jointly prepared by the staffs of San Gabriel
Valley Municipal Data System and Anaheim Data Processing regarding a joint com-
puter center, and advised that although the preparations are not complete, the
program isthought to be of considerable advantage to the City of Anaheim, and
requested authorization to proceed with negotiations in this regard.
~it~ Hall? Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES June 5~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
PRESENTATION: Mrs. Sandy Kemp, 1301 South Courson Drive, presented a check in
the amount of $650 on behalf of the Hansen School P.T.A. to Mr. John
J. Collier, Director of Parks and Recreation, and requested that this
sum be used towards the development of Hansen Park.
Mayor Dutton expressed the City's gratitude for the donation.
SUGGESTION AWARDS: Mayor Dutton issued plaques to the following City employees
in recognition of the best employee suggestions received this year:
Shirley May Foust, formerly of the City Attorney's Office, for a new
system of handling warrants from the courts.
Steve Tokai, Engineering Division, for suggesting the placement of a
bike rack behind City Hall for employees who ride bicycles to work.
PARTICIPATION - PENNSYLVANIA SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION: The City
Manager presented a request from the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons
of the Revolution that the City of Anaheim participate in a National
4th of July celebration by ringing bells as a part of "Operation
Patriotism".
By general consent, the Council indicated willingness to participate,
and authorized that a proclamation be issued to this effect.
INTRODUCTION OF NEW EMPLOYEES: Mr. Frank Campagnoni, of the City Personnel
Department, introduced 17 new employees attending the Council meeting
as part of the City's orientation program.
Mayor Dutton welcomed the new employees to the City force.
MINUTES: Minutes of the Anaheim City Council Regular Meeting held May 15, 1973 were
approved on motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Sneegas.
Councilman Pebley abstained from voting on this motion. MOTION CARRIED.
WAIVER OF READING - ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: Councilman Thom moved to waive the
reading in full of all ordinances and resolutions, and that consent to the waiver
of reading is hereby given by all Councilmen unless, after reading of the title,
specific request is made by a Councilman for the reading of such ordinance or
resolution. Councilman Sneegas seconded the motion. MOTION UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED.
REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE CITY: Demands against the City, in the amount
of $996,876.39, in accordance with the 1972-73 Budget, were approved.
ORANGE COUNTY GROWTH POLICY REPORT: Mr. A1 Bell, representative of the Orange County
Planning Department stated that the County Planning Department in presenting this
report,is interested in making three points with the various cities within the
County:
1. They are interested in learning what type of growth policy the
Council prefers for its own jurisdiction.
2. They would like to learn the Council's preference for the type of
growth policy, if any, to be established at the County level.
3. They wished to inform the various Councils of the scope of the
Orange County Planning Department Growth Policy Report and on what factors the
conclusion8 are based.
Councilman Pebley stated he was of the opinion that the goals set forth
by Mr. Bell are incongruous when received with the knowledge that the County
Planning Commission recently acted to grant a land use which the City of Anaheim
opposed and which the City appealed at every level.
Councilman Thom felt the situation referred to by Councilman Pebley
was not a valid criticism of the County Planning Commission's report, in that
this report attempts to deal with philosophical goals and objectives, ultimately
to be achieved.
Councilman Dutton indicated his agreement with Councilman Pebley,
noting the futility of providing inputs to a governmental agency when these are
not effective in the outcome.

]ity Hall; Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5; 1973; 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Bell assured the Council that the County Growth Policy Study has
no official status, being a staff level study, and that it is intended to be a
catalyst discussion and hopefully will lead to some establishments which will
preclude the situation referred to here.
Councilman Dutton asked what relevancy such a County Growth Policy
could have when there are 26 different jurisdictions involved, and in light of
the bodies espousing intergovernmental cooperation which have already been estab-
lished such as the Intergovernmental Coordinating Council, and the Orange County
League of Cities.
Mr. Bell advised that what they intended to do was to view the entire
County as a system to see how it functions, to add up all of the commitments and
growth policies to see what the total overall County picture would look like. It
was hoped that once this preparation was done, then the Planning staff could en-
vision and draw some conclusions as to where the County as a total is headed. He
stated that the adoption of any County-wide growth plan would have to be done in-
tergovernmentally and would be an aggregate of the individual jurisdictions.
A fundamental part of the County Growth Policy Report is the relation-
ship between population growth and environmental quality, and through this report
it is hoped that some points of consensus on direction will be found which will
improve the quality of life in the County.
Councilman Pebley asked if, in fact, the County Growth Policy is an
attempt to show that the County Planning Department could provide a better land
use and development policy for the City of Anaheim than the City Planning Commis-
sion and Planning Division.
Mr. Bell answered that there is no authority or any proposal in the
Growth Policy to usurp present powers of local jurisdictions, but there is much
emphasis on the use of the Intergovernmental Coordinating Council as a forum for
determining what points of consensus exist. He commented that the County is
soliciting criticism and input on the various statements and policies set forth
in this report from the cities.
At the request of Councilman Thom, a copy of "People, Policy and Growth,
Summary Report" dated December 1972 was received at open meeting and filed for
the record. (Other report referred to not filed.)
Utilizing a series of transparencies, Mr. Bell presented the highlights
from the Orange County Growth Policy Report. The first few slides presented a
statistical analysis of the County's growth patterns, including population figures,
economic growth and employment, and public school enrollment statistics for the
period 1950 to 1970. The report went on to define certain problem conditions which
occurred concomitantly with the rapid expansion of population during this period.
Some of the problem areas listed were: neighborhood deterioration, downtown de-
terioration, inadequate supply of low and middle income housing, traffic conges-
tion, inadequate air transportation, etc.
Mr. Murdoch questioned the inclusion of "neighborhood deterioration"
in the outline of problem conditions resulting from increased growth, as well as
the theory that a modified growth policy would alleviate this problem. He pointed
out that in the body of the larger report it was indicated that age is a very
significant factor in this problem, and he stated, he could not see any correla-
tion between these two findings.
Mr, Bell pointed out that numeric growth is not assumed to be the sole
factor in any of these conditions but only one of a variety of factors which
affects changes. He stated that the modified growth policy encourages the in-
vesting of resources and the stimulation of public and private investment to
alleviate such problems, i.e., the policy recommends that the growth experienced
by the County should be tapped to accomplish certain objectives.
Mr. Murdoch reiterated that he did not consider "neighborhood deterior-
ation'' as appropriate in the list.
Mr. Bell advised that such remarks as this are exactly the type of in-
put which the County would like to hear from the cities.
73-421
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Bell continued to explain that the Growth Report utilized the in-
formation which was obtained to project where the County is heading under current
growth policies and then assessed these effects as well as the possible impact
if a modified growth plan were implemented.
Mr. Murdoch inquired as to what is meant in the report by the phrase
next to water and sewer services which states "required by general plan" as op-
posed to "provide fullest extent".
Mr. Bell answered that in many unincorported portions of the County,
special districts provide these services. They are recommending that the sup-
port services required for urban development should be based upon a general plan
adopted by a general purpose government rather than by independent actions in
special districts.
Mr. Murdoch stated that in the case of sewer services, the development
of these involved every one of the cities which has a sewer system in the delib-
erations. He further commented that he could see no real difference between
what is being recommended in this modified growth policy and the methods actually
being used currently.
Mr. Bell stated that the modification recommended in this report has
greatest application at a County-wide level and that there is no adopted County-
wide general plan. It was his opinion that if all of the general plans in the
various jurisdictions were totaled together there would be a significant amount
of overlap.
Mr. Murdoch disagreed with this statement, on the basis that through
the use of sewer districts there is a coordinated sewer plan in operation
throughout the County and this has been the case in the western portion of the
County since the middle 1920's.
Councilman Sneegas asked exactly what is being referred to as flood
plains within the City of Anaheim.
Mr. Bell answered that this would be defined as water courses not yet
developed and further those areas designated as a flood plain zone by the Army
Corps of Engineers. He advised that the designation is not meant to preclude
development but rather to perhaps shape the extent and nature of this develop-
ment in areas where there is reasonable hazard to life and property.
Councilman Sneegas stated that according to the most recent map he
had seen from the Army Corps of Engineers, this would mean that the larger por-
tion of Orange County, excepting only the hill areas would be within the flood
plain zone. He outlined the proposed measures which are under consideration
now, i.e., improvement of the Prado Dam and the spillway all the way to the
ocean, and expressed his concern that talk about development in the flood plain
zone will be misinterpreted by the taxpayers as providing need for these major
flood control improvements, whereas the need is already present and has been
present for some time, and these measures should be undertaken to protect those
now living in most of Orange County.
Mr. Bell pointed out that the situation now presents itself where some
of the mistakes recognized in development of the western portion of the County
can be avoided by proper joint planning for the eastern, now-developing regions.
Mr. Bell next presented a list of strategies related to the implemen-
tation of a modified growth policy, together with population statistics under
current and modified growth policy. This segment of the report included popula-
tion distribution and 30 year statistical projections.
Councilman Pebley expressed his opinion that this type of report is
one step in the direction of removing control from local government.
Mr. Bell denied this was the intention of the report, and further ad-
vised that the County has requested the Intergovernmental Coordinating Council
to place this report on their agenda for consideration. In the meantime they
hope to work jointly with the city staffs to translate the projections into
specific terms for each city.
73-622
2ity Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Bell concluded his presentation by introducing a member of the
Citizens Fact Finding Cormnission, Mr. Joe White, to the Council, and offering
to answer questions.
Councilman Dutton inquired as to what is included in the figures given
for open space in the County.
Mr. Bell answered this refers only to land which is in public owner-
ship, permanently preserved in some specific way as open space.
Councilman Dutton stated that he both agreed and disagreed with portions
of the report and referred especially to the air transportation problem.
Mr. Bell stated that the current basic policy and the recormmendation
from the modified growth policy are the same, and that is that no expansion to air
transportation facilities be undertaken until such time as the noise problem has
been demonstrably reduced. The report further recommends that some open space
be identified for possible future air transportation facilities at this time.
Mr. Murdoch commented that the City of Anaheim as well as others do have
existing growth policies, whether written or unwritten, and although he can en-
vision some problem areas which would benefit from County-wide planning efforts,
he would seriously question the value of formulating a County-wide growth policy
in any detail.
Mr. Murdoch further commented that a great deal of the report as pre-
sented deals with the quantitative side, but the real area of concern is the qual-
itative side of the picture, and in his opinion,not sufficient attention was given
to this aspect. He inquired whether there is some backup material referred to
in this report but not included in same regarding qualitative planning.
Mr. Bell answered that there is such information, although not in pub-
lished form, and this is summarized in the Phase II report. He further advised
that many of the areas of qualitative planning involve value judgments, and it
would be presumptive on the part of the County Planning Department to engage in
these on behalf of or in-lieu of the local government.
In regard to the qualitative factor of urban planning, Councilman Dutton
remarked that he feels the City of Anaheim has proven itself second to none in
the planning job which has been performed in the hill and canyon area, noting the
balanced proportion of open space and recreational and residential uses.
At the conclusion of Council discussion, Mr. Murdoch inquired what action
the Council wished to take regarding the Growth Policy Report, to which Councilman
Thom indicated he felt that some formal position should be taken on the report and
further that he personally felt it to be a well prepared and useful project.
In answer to Mr. Murdoch's inquiry regarding the date set forth for re-
sponse in the report of July 1, Mr. Bell answered that this should be regarded as
a target date and that the County Planning Commission will not hold hearings on
the report until later in July. He emphasized that the County is most interested
in receiving a response from the City of Anaheim.
Councilman Thom suggested that the response be documented and in the form
of a resolution, and that copy of same be forwarded to the County Planning Commis-
sion. He further recommended that individual staff members and Councilmen inform
the City Manager which specific areas they feel are most important, to aid in prep-
aration of the response draft.
By general Council consent, it was determined that a documented response
to the County Growth Policy Report be drafted in the form of a letter or resolution
and be directed to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, with copy to the County
Planning Commission.
ONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 72-73-40 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
O. 1387: Submitted by Angelo and Carl Zaby requesting a change in zone from R-A to

City Hall? Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
a. Required masonry wall abutting a residential zone. (Withdrawn)
Pursuant to Resolution No. PC73-75, the City Planning Con~nission recom-
mended approval of Reclassification No. 72-73-40 subject to conditions and pur-
suant to Resolution No. PC73-76, granted Conditional Use Permit No. 1387 in
part, subject to conditions.
Public hearing was held on May 22, 1973 and continued to this date to
allow the City Planning Commission time for review and recommendation on revised
plans submitted just prior to the May 22, 1973 Council meeting. The City Council
at the meeting held May 22, 1973 determined that the impact of said reclassifi-
cation and conditional use permit would be trivial in nature and no environmen-
tal impact report or statement would be required.
Zoning Supervisor Roberts advised that the City Planning Commission
reviewed the revised plans at their last meeting. He noted that the revision
involves enlargement of an office building located on subject property and some
of the automobile storage has been reduced. Other areas which were of possible
concern were resolved in the interim and the City Planning Commission recommends
approval of the reclassification and granting in part of the conditional use
permit with the revised plans submitted, subject to conditions as previously
set forth.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council either in favor
or opposition to Reclassification No. 72-73-40 and Conditional Use Permit No.
1387; there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NO. 73R-211: Councilman Sneegas offered Resolution No. 73R-211 for
adoption, authorizing the preparation of the necessary ordinance, changing the
zone as requested, subject to the conditions recommended by the City Planning
Commission, with amendment to Condition No. 3 to reflect increase in street tree
fees to 60 cents per front foot, and Condition No. 14 to show Exhibit No. 1,
Revision No. 1, and Exhibit Nos. 2 and 3.

PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 2496 AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EXEMPTION STATUS:
Application of Atlantic Richfield requesting the following Code waivers to allow
two price signs and two self-service signs in addition to an existing free-stand-
ing signs on C-1 zoned property located at the southwest corner of Broadway and
Euclid Street was submitted together with application for Exemption Declaration
Status:
a. Maximum number of free-standing signs.
b. Minimum distance between free-standing signs.
c. Minimum height of free-standing signs.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. PC73-87, recom-
mended that no environmental impact report be required and denied said variance.
Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by
Mr. Calvin Manley, General Maintenance,Inc.,and public hearing scheduled this date.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EXEMPTION STATUS: On motion by Councilman Sneegas,
seconded by Councilman Stephenson, it was the finding of the City Council that
the impact of said project would be trivial in nature and that no environmental
impact report or statement is required. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Roberts briefly explained that the Applicant is requesting three
Code waivers relating to the sign ordinance and advised that the subject gasoline
station is intended to be a fully self-service station, and the Applicant proposes
to place the self-service and price signs on each pump island. He read two of
the reasons cited by the City Planning Commission resolution as basis for their
denial of this variance, namely that the Petitioner stipulated this would be a
completely self-service station, and therefore signs would not be necessary to
designate which pump islands are self-service, and further that this could be
adequately advertised on the existing pole sign.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant or his Agent were present and wished
to address the Council.
Mr. Calvin Manley, of General Maintenance, Inc., representing Arco stated
that the variance is requested in order to permit the establishment of self-service
and price signs at the ingress to each of the two islands of the service station.
The function of these signs would be to inform the customer as he approaches that
the island is self-service. He noted that there has been much resultant confusion
due to the fact that some stations have been converted to completely self-service
and some offer both types of service.
Councilman Dutton stated he believed that some of the confusion could
be allayed by placing a sign to designate self-service on the identification pole.
Mr. Manley answered that many customers miss these signs and the addi-
tional self-service and price signs at the pump island itself will alleviate the
motorist's waiting at the pump island because he is not aware that he must serve
himself.
Councilman Sneegas was of the opinion that the situation would solve
itself within a few months once the patrons become accustomed to the fact that the
station offers only self-service.
Mr. Manley answered that there is an acute problem during the transition
period and they feel this additional signing will preclude their losing those cus-
tomers who drive in without realizing that the station is not offering full ser-
vices.
Councilman Stephenson felt that this was an important point, and that
many people do miss the sign indicating self-service, and related his own similar
experience.
Councilman Sneegas was of the opinion that the additional signs on the
pump islands would not be noticed by a motorist any more than the larger self-
service signs.
The Mayor asked if anyone else either in favor or opposition wished to
address the Council; there being no response, declared the hearing closed.

voting on the matter even if continued to a later date.
Councilman Stephenson moved that the consideration of Variance No.
2496 be continued to June 19, 1973, and after being advised by the City Attorney
that any action would require three affirmative votes, Councilman Stephenson
withdrew his motion.
No further action was taken on Variance No. 2496 by the City Council.
PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 128 - REDEVELOPMENT ELEMENT: To consider
amendment to the Anaheim General Plan (Redevelopment Element) in accordance with
the requirements of the Government Code of the State of California, Section
65503.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. PC73-110,
recommended adoption of General Plan Amendment No. 128 in accordance with Exhibit
"A" and further recommended that the E.I.R. prepared in connection with this
element be adopted as Council's Statement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT: On motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded by
Councilman Thom, the City Council accepted the E.I.R. prepared in conjunction
with the Redevelopment Element, General Plan Amendment No. 128 and Committee
Analysis thereof, together with the City Planning Commission recommendation and
adopted same as the Statement of the Council. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Don McDaniel reported that in June 1972 the City Council actin~
as the Council and Redevelopment Agency, on the recommendation of the Community
Redevelopment Commission, designated the entire City of Anaheim as a redevelop-
ment survey area. This necessitated preparation of the Redevelopment Element
to the General Plan which is now under consideration.
The element which has been formulated is not limited in its scope to
any specific project but could encompass redevelopment throughout the City. He
advised that Mr. Hogenbirk from their staff, was present to answer any questions
which Council may have.
Councilman Thom commented that the preface of this element contains
the statement that some commercial and residential structures are becoming ob-
solete because the necessary repairs and remodeling are considered too expensive
Cit}, Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5~ 197]~ 1:30 P.M.
to be worthwhile, whereas on Page No. 3 as part of the Redevelopment Program,
there is discussion of rehabilitation programs to repair and upgrade existing
structures. Councilman Thom stated that these two statements appear to be con-
flicting.
Mr. McDaniel answered that in the first instance given, reference is
made to these repairs and remodeling being done on a private basis rather than
as a community project.
Councilman Thom asked if any thought had been given on the part of the
City staff to a "neighborhood service" program and advised that the Anaheim Sav-
ings and Loan Association has instituted such a program and has employed a staff
member, Mrs. Harriet Goslins to implement same.
Mr. Hogenbirk indicated that Mrs. Goslins had been in contact with him
r~.'garding the neighborhood service program.
Councilman Sneegas wished the record to indicate that he owns a piece
of property located within the area indicated on the map in the Redevelopment
Element as "the primary study area".
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council regarding General
Plan Amendment No. 128.
Mrs. Norma Valletta, President of the Anaheim-Garden Grove League of
Women Voters, commended the Anaheim Planning Department and Planning Commission
on behalf of the League on their completion of these elements and remarked that
the League is in concurrence with the goals set forth.
Mrs. Valletta stated that the League is particularly interested in the
implementation of relocation assistance to displaced residential occupants affected
by project improvements. She emphasized that this relocation process should abide
by the California Relocation Law.
The Mayor asked if anyone else either in favor or opposition wished to
address the Council; there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NO. 73R-213: Councilman Thom offered Resolution No. 73R-213 for
adoption, adopting General Plan Amendment No. 128, Exhibit "A" as recommended by
the City Planning Commission.

Cit}z Hallt Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5~ 19737 1:30 P.M.
Mr. McDaniel advised that the Housing and Residential Element had also
been prepared in conformity with State law which set July 1, 1969 as the dead-
line for adoption of this element to the General Plan. The reason for late sub-
mittal has been the delay in receiving the 1970 Federal Census Data. The pri-
mary objective of this element is to achieve an understanding of the housing
issues in Anaheim as they presently exist and as they may develop in the future.
He noted that Miss Santalahti was present to answer questions.
Councilman Thom felt the element was extremely well done, but questioned
the term "Spanish-~nerican" as not entirely accurate.
Miss Santalahti replied that this is the term used in the Federal
Census Data to designate the Spanish-speaking population.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council regarding
General Plan Amendment No. 126.
Mr. Norma Valletta, representing the League of Women Voters, stated
that the League is in complete accord with the policies and objectives stated
in this element and supports all measures to increase the supply of safe and
adequate housing for all segments of the population.
The League statement suggested that this goal be achieved either by
joining the Orange County Housing Authority; through loans under Section 23 of
the Housing Act of 1968; through the use of modular and prefabricated homes;
or through the use of revenue sharing funds. They feel that the needs of the
low and moderate income segments of the population should be met.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council regarding
the Housing Element; there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NO. 73R-214: Councilman Thom offered Resolution No. 73R-214 for
adoption, adopting General Plan Amendment No. 126, Housing and Residential Ele-
ment, Exhibit "A" as recommended by the City Planning Commission.

PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 127 OPEN SPACE CONSERVATION ELEMENT:
To consider amendments to the Anaheim General Plan, Open Space and Conservation
Element in accordance with the requirements with the Government Code of the State
of California, Section 65302.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. PC73-112,
recommended adoption of the General Plan Amendment No. 127 in accordance with
Exhibit "~' and further recommended that the environmental impact report pre-
pared in conjunction with this element be adopted as the statement of the
Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT: On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by
Councilman Stephenson, the City Council accepted the E.I.R. prepared in connec-
tion with General Plan Amendment No. 127, Open Space and Conservation Element,
together with Committee Analys~s thereof, and recommendation of the City Plann-
ing Commission, and adopted same as the Statement of the Council. MOTION
CARRIED.
The City Clerk advised that a lctter has been received from Mr. T.
Lacy, Southern California Edison Company, dated May 31, 1973 regarding the Open
]it~ ltall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - .lun(~ 5~ [973~ 1:30 P.M.
Spacc and Conservation Element, which states their position that some clarifica-
tion is necessary which will more clearly define the intent of the use of ease-
ments as described therein.
Mr. Don McDaniel advised that June 30, 1973 is the deadline set by thc
State for adoption of this element, and Anaheim has assumed a leadership role by
proposing a policy which enhance and maintain its position as a tourist and recre-
ation center. A portion of the proposed policy is embodied in the existing parks,
open space and recreation element which was accepted by the State as Anaheim's
interim open space and conservation element. The element under consideration to-
day, if adopted, will supersede the interim plan and will place the City in com-
pliance with the State law by the June 30, 1973 deadline.
In reference to the letter from Mr. Lacy, Mr. McDaniel assured Council
that it was not the intent of the Planning Department or Planning Commission to
extract any of the rights currently enjoyed by Southern California Edison in uti-
lizing these easements, even though this may not be specified on Page No. 8.
The Mayor asked if Mr. Lacy was satisfied with the Open Space and Con-
servation Element as written, without the suggested addition proposed in his
letter, to which he received an affirmative reply.
Councilman Thom referred to Page Nos. 6 and 7 of the Open Space and
Conservation Element "scenic lands" and stated he could not envision how the amend-
ment to the hillside grading ordinance could be said to have helped implement the
preservation of visual amenities in the hill and canyon area as stated.
Mr. McDaniel replied that when the Scenic Corridor concept was explored
by staff and subsequently adopted, various methods were employed to implement the
concept including amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to provide for a Scenic Corri-
dor Overlay Zone; amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance to permit greater lot
depth; and amendment to the Hillside Grading Ordinance to gain 2 to 1 slopes rather
than 1½ to 1 and further allow the flexability required to obtain more naturally
colored drainage benches.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council relative to the
proposed Open Space and Conservation Element.
Mrs. Norma Valletta on behalf of the League of Women Voters stated that
the League feels the Open Space and Conservation Element is a well considered plan
and they generally support i.t. However, instead of a policy of providing 2.5
acres of neighborhood and community parks per 1,000 persons, the League feels the
City should set a goal of 4 acres per 1,000 persons. Further the League endorses
the policy of joint use of school sites for park and recreational use and encour-
ages the conversion of school sites no longer necessary for educational uses to
cultural centers or parks.
The statement read by Mrs. Valletta pointed out one inconsistency con-
cerning agricultural preserve status in that one section mentions that none of the
lands in the City have applied for such status whereas another statement encour-
ages tbe retention of agricultural lands. The League further supports the con-
cept of bike trail systems.
(Written statements relative to the three elements prepared by the League
of Women Voters were submitted at the Council meeting and on file in the Office
of the City Clerk.)
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council relative
to the Open Space and Conservation Elements; there being no response, declared the
hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NO. 73R-215: Councilman Thom offered Resolution No. 73R-215 for
adoption, adopting General Plan Amendment No. 127, Exhibit "A" as recommended by
the City Planning Commission.

REQUEST - MARCH FROM LA PALMA STADIUM TO PEARSON PARK: Request submitted by David
M. Arias, Public Relations Director, Church of God of Prophecy, to conduct a
march beginning at La Palma Stadium and ending at Pearson Park on June 30, 1973
from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. was withdrawn by the Applicant.
No further action was taken by the City Council.
RECLASSIFICATION NO. 69-70-37 - EXTENSION OF TIME: Request of Lewis L. Sinor, Sun-
burst Realty, Agent for Hazel R. Elkens, was submitted for an extension of time
to submit new plans and complete conditions of approval for C-O zoning together
with reports from Development Services Department and Engineering Division recom-
mending said extension of time be granted retroactively, subject to the posting
of street improvement bonds.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Thom, a retro-
active extension of time to Reclassification No. 69-70-37 from November 5, 1970
to June 5, 1973, and an additional one-year extension of time to June 5, 1974
subject to posting of street improvement bonds, was granted. MOTION CARRIED.
REPORT - SCHOOL CROSSING PROTECTION: Report containing standards relative to school
crossing protection formulated by the School Traffic Safety Committee was sub-
mitted by Traffic Engineer, Edward Granzow, Chairman of said Committee for
Council's information only. Said standards and warrants will be amended as
necessary to reflect Council's thinking and then submitted again for adoption
as the warrants for school crossing protection.
Mr. Murdoch commented that the paragraph "3. Extenuating circum-
stances'', Page No. 10, might be misinterpreted to read that the school districts,
when they feel there are extenuating circumstances, may of their own volition
authorize adult crossing guards, by merely placing such request, even though
normal warrants under current standards are not met at the intersection in
question.
Mr. Granzow advised that this was not the intent of that section, but
that it is meant to indicate that the school districts may place requests for
adult crossing guards when they feel that there are extenuating circumstances,
and the normal warrants are not met. These requests are to be made to the School
Traffic Safety Committee which would review the situation and make a recommen-
dation. He further advised that the warrants contained in this report were re-
vised due to the study undertaken at Euclid and Crescent and subsequent assign-
ment of a crossing guard, which they feel established a precedent for 200 vehi-
cles turning into the intersection in one hour as the standard rather than 300
as previously.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the
City Council ordered the School Crossing Protection Report received and filed
with the recommendation that some additional language be added to Item No. 3
of Section 7.2 (Page No. 10) to clarify the procedure to be used for adult
crossing guard requests when warrants are not met. MOTION CARRIED.
CROSSING GUARDS - SUMMER SCHOOL: The Manager reported that the School Traffic Safety
Committee requested the school districts to submit a list of intersections at
which they feel adult guards would be required for the summer school session,
for review and recommendation.
In accordance with the recommendations made by the Committee relative
to these requests, Mr. Murdoch advised that the approximate total cost for nine
guards for the summer school session would be $700 and indicated that he con-
curred with their recommendation.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, employ-
ment of crossing guards for the summer school session in the approximate amount
of $700 was authorized, as recommended by the School Traffic Safety Committee.
MOTION CARRIED.
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5~ 1973, 1:30 P.M.

four tracts containing a total of 265 R-H-iO,O00 zoned lots on R-A zoned property

EMPLOYMENT OF CONSULTANT - WORK MANAGEM]SNT PROGRAM - UTILITIES DEPARTMENT; Utilities
Director, Gordon Hoyt, reported on the proposed Work-Management Program which is
intended to apply industrial engineering principles to the work of the Utilities
Department through a team which will be trained under this program.
Mr. Hoyt advised that it is expected that as a result of this program
the Utilities Division will be able to achieve higher levels of productivity and
noted that the City of Riverside has increased their productivity from 50 to 60%
to 85% of standard via implementation of this program. The program was discussed
with representatives of the I.B.E.W. Local No. 47 who have indicated no strong
feeling either in favor or against the proposal.
73-437
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5; 1973r 1:30 P.M.
The Utilities Director recommended very strongly that the Council
authorize the contract with Kapner, Bogenrief and Wolfberg, Inc., to provide
the Work-Management Program. He advised that the cost of this program has al-
ready been included in the forthcoming fiscal year, 1973-74 Budget, and based
on acceptance and implementation of same, the Budget which was submitted to the
City Manager has been reduced by $300,000.
Councilman Dutton asked for an estimate of the productivity level in
the Utilities Department currently, to which Mr. Hoyt replied, approximately
between 55 and 60% of standard.
Mr. Hoyt stated that one of the first orders of priority, if the con-
tract is approved~would be to establish a base period of measurement to clearly
show what production levels are at the present time and that regular reports
will be submitted to indicate the increased productivity. He further advised
that the Utilities Department will add 30% of the area of the City of Anaheim to
the electrical system and with the exception of those employed to do the cut-
over work, they are confident they will be able to provide this additional ser-
vice with current force.
Councilman Sneegas inquired what the project cost would be.
Mr. Hoyt answered that the cost of the first year for the consultant
is $40,000. This is a six-month program from inception to full operation. In
addition there is the cost of four employees who will become Methods and Stan-
dards Technicians, and these will be recruited from the ranks of Journeyman
level City employees.
In answer to Councilman Sneegas, Mr. Hoyt advised that the City of
Riverside implemented the program some time ago and in their third year of oper-
ation they have saved $215,000. He further stated that he would expect the City
of Anaheim savings to be greater than that.
RESOLUTION NO. 73R-218: Councilman Stephenson offered Resolution No. 73R-218
for adoption, authorizing the contract for employment of Kapner, Bogenrief and
Wolfberg, Inc., as consultants in the Work-Management Program, Utilities
Department.

City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5; 1973; 1:30 P.M.
SALE OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTY {VARIANCE N~. 149B~: (Sunshine Way, south of Miraloma
overcrossing, continued to this date from May 29, 1973.) Mr. Mike Garan, 2310
East Romneya, representing the Board of Directors of the corporation which
owns the property located at the terminus of Sunshine Way, advised that although
subject parcel contains 20,244 square feet, only 20% of this land is usable, the
remainder having been developed as part of the State highway project into 30%
slopes. He further noted that Sunshine Way provides the only ingress and egress
to the 6.6 acre parcel owned by the U-Stow-It Corporation. He reiterated that
when plans were submitted by this corporation to develop a mini-warehouse facility,
the City staff recommended that Sunshine Way either be abandoned by the City and
the fee title purchased by the Applicant or a modified cul-de-sac be developed
at the terminus of Sunshine Way.
The original price which was quoted for this property, according to
Mr. Garan, was $2,000. However, to expedite matters, after further negotiations,
a fee of $4,000 was set, subject to Council approval. However this amount was
not approved when considered by Council on May 29, 1973, rather the property was
offered for sale at a cost of $10,000. Mr. Garan urged that the Council cormnit
themselves to a firm price this date which the potential buyer may then accept or
reject. He reiterated that the acquisition of Sunshine Way will provide the U-
Stow-It Corporation with a 40 by 200-foot driveway only, the remainder being not
usable.
Councilman Sneegas stated that after inspecting the property in question,
he had observed that the street is in good condition, and that the property would
serve only one use, that being to provide access to the property at the bottom of
the slope. He remarked that although he is of the opinion that the citizens of
Anaheim should receive full value for sale of City-owned property, he felt a more
moderate price might be appropriate primarily because the City would be released
from maintenance obligations on Sunshine Way. Further, he stated that if a gate
is to be placed at the entrance to the U-Stow-It property, he would suggest that
it be a minimum of 50 feet from the Miraloma overcrossing right-of-way to prevent
obstruction of this street by vehicles waiting to pass through this gate.
Mr. Marvin Hopkins, 6772 Stanford Avenue, Garden Grove, replied that
at the last meeting he was in error in describing that the gate would be parallel
with Miraloma and advised that the plans do stipulate the gate to be 100 feet back
from this overcrossing.
Mr. Robert Keeler, an officer of the U-Stow-It Development Corporation,
addressed the Council and commented that their company does not really require
subject property in order to develop their parcel. Initially they felt its acqui-
sition would solve some problems and would simplify some phases of the entry to
this site; further he noted that the sale would place this property back on the
tax rolls.
He advised that $4,000 is the breaking point, and if the cost of the
property is to be higher than this, they would withdraw their offer to purchase
same and instead develop the modified cul-de-sac at the terminus of Sunshine Way,
which is their option.
Councilman Dutton asked for the City Appraiser's estimate for subject
property, to which Mr. Geisler answered that the figure given by the appraiser
was $4,000 and that this price reflects more than the property would bring on the
open market.
Councilman Dutt0n thereupon moved that the previous action offering the
Sunshine Way property for $10,000 be rescinded and that the necessary documents
be prepared to sell the property at a cost of $4,000. Councilman Sneegas seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

~E~UEST OF WAIVER OF CONVENTION CENTER CHARGES - ITALIAN CATHOLIC FEDERATION: Request
of Mrs. D. Lamon, Secretary of the Italian Catholic Federation No. 256, for use
of the Anaheim Convention Center facilities at a reduced rate or gratis, during
the I.C.F. annual convention, August 31, through September 3, 1973, was submitted
for City Council consideration.

as they constitute a gift of public funds, Councilman Sneegas moved that the re-
quest be denied. Councilman Dutton seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
SENATE BILLS SB-678 AND SB-697: Mr. Alan Watts reported that there are two hills be-
fore the California Legislature for review, which are sponsored by the California
Municipal Utilities Association, SB-678 and SB-697.
SB-678 would eliminate the current restriction imposed by the 1941 Re-
venue Bond Act which prohibits a city from using this legislation to issue bonds
to finance construction of transmission and generation facilities for electrical
energy.
SB-697 will ultimately amend the Joint Powers Act of the State of Calif-
ornia to permit a governmental agency to use revenue bonding sections of the Joint
Powers Act to finance facilities for generation and transmission of electrical
energy but not for distribution facilities.
Mr. Watts advised that SB-678 will be heard on the floor of the Senate
either June 5 or 6, 1973 and SB-697 will be before the Local Affairs Committee of
the Senate on Thursday, June 7, 1973, and recon~nended that the City Council take
a position of approval on these two bills. He noted that SB-678 would have an in-
direct effect on the City of Anaheim in that by charter the City already has the
ability therein provided. SB-697, amending the Joint Powers Act, is of more par-
ticular concern to the City of Anaheim as it would permit utilization of this leg-
islation for construction of generation and transmission facilities.
Councilman Thom stated that prior to taking any position on the matter
he would prefer to read the two bills involved and requested that he receive copies of
same.
On recommendation of the Assistant City Attorney, Councilman Stephenson
moved that the City Council take a position of support of Senate Bills SB-678 and
$B-697. Councilman Dutton seconded the motion. Councilman Thom abstained from
voting on this motion. MOTION CARRIED.

sented by three Senators and six Assemblymen, which will be voted upon at the next
