REPORT - COUNTY OR ORANGE PROPOSAL FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF REFUSE TRANSFER AND DISPOSAL FEES: Report from the Director of Public Works dated September 30, 1974, was submitted pertaining to the proposal by the County of Orange to establish refuse disposal user fees at the transfer stations and/or sanitary landfill sites (public hearing to be held before the Orange County Board of Supervisors at 10:00 a.m., October 16, 1974). At the invitation of the Mayor, Mr. Sam Taormina of Anaheim Disposal Company addressed the City Council, advising that both his company and Jaycox Disposal were opposed to the proposal due to the increase in costs to the primary users, the homeowners, industrial users, and businessmen; that the revenues from fees imposed by the County would be over and above the revenues collected from the tax base, and the tax base would not be reduced; user fees would be predi- cated, in the homeowner classification, over a general area of all residents in that particular area, and business and industrial users would be charged on the basis of the amount of trash generated. It was pointed out by Mr. Taormina that there is'no ceiling in the pro- posal for the amount of the fees to be charged, noting the amounts stated were for this fiscal year only. In his opinion if the proposal were adopted, it would be detrimental to the City primarily because of the increased costs in user fees, and increased costs in operation resulting in more time spent running trucks back and forth to the landfill station currently located in Brea Canyon. Further, if the County closes local transfer stations, it will necessitate the use of more trucks and more fuel to dump at the landfill station. He stated that since mast haulers in the County are opposed to subject proposal, they request the City of Anaheim to take a position in opposition also. 74-1004 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M. In answer to Council questioning, Mr. Taormina advised that the County of Orange indicated that it costs them approximately four and one-half million dollars a year to run the refuse disposal operation, and due to current economic conditions, they feel they should recoup this expense. It is estimated that the average taxpayer pays approximately $10.00 per year, based on assessed valuation, and under the County proposal this would continue, and the additional user fees would be imposed, resulting in nearly a 100% increase in costs to the ~sers. Director of Public Works Thornton E. Piersall addressed the Council reporting that he had discussed the County's proposal with the Industrial Commit- tee of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce this date, at which time no support had been indicated, and the issue was further scheduled to be taken into consideration by the Chamber Executive Committee at their meeting of October 10, 1974. He was of the opinion that if all who participate in a collection program must keep track of their truck weights, then bill the City who, in turn, would bill the consumer, the result would be triple overhead charges, rather than obtaining the funds from a basic element source. The County's 1959 proposal was logical, that regional responsibility for solid waste disposal was with the County of Orange. CrEte- ria was established that cities should have within an area of approximately 7 miles of service either a transfer station or a disposal site, which he felt was valid. Councilwoman Kaywood asked how the County would explain their proposal to the taxpayer as being beneficial if the same taxes were to be channeled for waste disposal operation and the additional fees charged. Mr. Piersall reported that some areas in the County would benefit by subject proposal since the current method of payment is based on the tax rate, rather than on user charges. For example, the County currently is able to operate their lease in the Irvine Company, which takes 70% of the solid waste, without paying a fee to the company, and if the proposal is adopted, 25% of the revenue from the fees will go the Irvine Company for handling the soled waste at their landfill operation. Council discussion ensued, and Mayor Thom expressed the'opinion that the County was essentially requesting an increase to cover costs, and rather than calling it a tax, they were calling it a "fee". Councilman Sneegas pointed out that all users do not generate the same amount of refuse, however, they are charged the same amount, so the proposed fee would not actually be a users fee, but a tax under a different name. Mr. Piersall pointed out that if the user fees were based on tonnage, the administrative costs would increase to a point which would preclude that method of calculation. Councilwoman Kaywood reminded the Council of the energy crises suffered in January and February of this year when it was extremely difficult to obtain petroleum supplies, and she was of the opinion that the situation would occur again in the future, creating a crisis, if all sanitation trucks were required to travel to the landfill station rather than to transfer stations. In addition, she felt there would be a greater abundance of refuse along roadways, in parks, etc., which would require more work and increase costs to clean up. Mr. Piersall felt the transfer station operation was more efficient, and more conserving of energy and effort. In his opinion, the implementation of any portion of a user fees would fragmentize the total operation which could result in the entire operation being controlled, with charges being taken out of the hands of the regional responsible agent, i.e., the County. Mr. Piersall's report included the recommendation that the City Council assume a strong position in opposition to the proposal for establishment of user fees, and he advised that it was his belief that the County seriously intends to implement the proposal, and he thereupon recommended that Members of the City Council attend the Board of Supervisor's Meeting relative to the matter. RESOLUTION NO. 74R-500: On the recom~endations of the Director of Public Works, Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No. 74R-500 for adoption. 74-1005 Cit~ Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M.

PROPOSED STUDY OF CITY INSURANCE PROGRAM: Communication dated July 10, 1974, from Bayley, Martin & Fay, Inc., was submitted setting forth a proposal for updating the City's insurance program (copies furnished each Council Member). Finance Director M. R. Ringer reported that pursuant to direction by the City Council, both he and Personnel Director Garry McRae met with representa- tives of Bayley, Martin & Fay, Inc., relative to a proposed review of the entire City insurance program, noting that in 1967, said firm had made studies of the City's fire'and liability insurance. He briefed the proposal, noting that fees proposed would be $3,000 for a detailed review of the City's liability and prop- erty insurance, and $2,500 for review of employee benefit programs, i.e., long- term disability, group life and major medical insurance. In response to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Ringer advised that the work- men's compensation insurance was excluded from the proposal inasmuch as the City was in the process of converting to a self-insured program. Councilman Seymour asked what were the savings created in premiums by the 1967 services to the City by the insurance firm. Mr. Ringer answered that the firm recommended we not go through the five agents we were then using for fire insurance coverage and instead, insure directly with the carrier, thus resulting in premium savings. He stated their recommendation was substantiated when the City recently requested fire insurance proposals and no firm could come within one-third of the premium the City was paying. Mr. Ringer expressed the opinion that the advice received at that time was sound, and he expected the proposed study to be completed by the early part of the next calendar year. Councilman Seymour asked whether the Anaheim Municipal Employees Associ- ation (AMEA) would have to give approval should the review recommend changes to the employee benefits insurance program. City Attorney Alan Watts advised it would be appropriate to consult with the AMEA, but he knew of no reason that the organization would have to approve any changes, unless there was some change in the benefits. On the recommendation of the Finance Director, Councilman Seymour moved that the City Attorney be authorized to prepare an agreement with Bayley, Martin & Fay, Inc. for the review of the City's insurance program, as outlined in their proposal dated July 10, 1974. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1973-74: Finance Director M. R. Ringer sub- mitted a list of accounts which he recommended be written off as uncollectible for the Fiscal Year 1973-74. These accounts total as follow: Damage to City facilities La Palma Stadium Rental Utilities Accounts $ 6,700.89 555.31 31,418.55 Councilwoman Kaywood noted a listing on the report under Utilities for "Credit Bureau", and asked what that item represented. 74-1006 City ~_Ha!l, ~-heim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8, 1974.~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Ringer explained that the amount listed for that item was comprised of utility bills which the City Credit Department was unable to collect and which were turned over to a private collector who returned them as uncollectible. On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Thom, the City Council authorized the Finance Director to remove the requested write-offs for the Fiscal Year 1973-74 as submitted, declaring these uncollectible accounts in the following amounts: Damage to City Facilities $ 6,700.89 La Palms Stadium Rental 555.31 Utilities Accounts 31,418.55 MOTION CAR~I~.

ORDINANCE NO. 3359 - PROPOSED PARKING STANDARDS FOR STRUCTURAL SETBACKS: Ordinance No. 3359, establishing parking standards and structural setbacks in residential zones, was introduced for first reading on September 10, 1974, at which time Council Members Seymour and Pebley were absent. The Deputy City Clerk called attention to a letter of opposition dated October 8, 1974, from Terry Crowther of Pacesetter Homes, Inc.; copies thereof duplicated for the City Council. It was noted thatthe Development Services Departlment staff had for- warded a revised report to the Council prior, to the October 1, 1974 meeting, and it was on the basis of said report that the ordinance'had been given first reading. Councilman Seymour expressed surprise that the ordinance had received first reading, and stated he thought the Council had been in agreement that they would, because one RS-5000 subdivision had been developed with poor results, not want to preclude an innovative concept which would provide some imagination in development. Councilman Pebley concurred with Councilman Seymour's statement, and expressed concern that "row housing" would result. 74-1007 City Hal!~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M. Councilman Sneegas agreed, and briefed the discussion held at the October 1, 1974 meeting. City Attorney Alan Watts advised that although some cities may use a percentage factor to allow flexible setbacks, he felt this method could be a potential problem. The developer could use a variation of setbacks, but at some time in the future, one homeowner having the greater setback might request per- mission to extend his dwelling out to the same setback as a neighbor, which could present difficulties. He was of the opinion that a situation where the setbacks vary from 6 feet to 25 feet would have a greater potential for the problem than the more common situation where most dwellings have the same setbacks. Councilman Sneegas pointed out that the problem of future requests would exist regardless of the existing setbacks. In his opinion, the percentage of people who modify a modern home in that manner was low, and what was under discussion here was original development. Discussion was held by the City'Council and Councilman Seymour was of the opinion that a very low percentage of homeowners request permits to extend their houses into the front setback area. He called attention to the problem previously expressed by Councilwoman Kaywood as to what can be done when a parking problem occurs on a street at some time in the future, and he felt that the problem should then be recognized and something be done to alleviate it. In the meantime, if a homeowner wants to extend his structure into the front setback and the neighbors do not object, then he should be allowed to do so unless he creates a parking problem, and in that case, the welfare of all citizens must be con- sidered first. Councilwoman Kaywood stated she felt it was time that the City should look ahead and enact some ordinances which would prevent future problems. She noted that residents of hillside areas are particularly concerned because they have no alternative streets available for parking. Councilman Pebley asked the staff whether they had discussed the per- centage proposals, as presented to the City Council on October 1, 1974, with various developers and whether those developers were satisfied therewith. Assistant Development Services Director Ronald Thompson advised that the staff had presented a 12-page report dated October 1, 1974, to the City Council offering a number of alternative solutions to the parking problems; how- ever, it seemed many of the developers were not pleased with the alternative pro- posal which was felt by the staff to be the most appropriate; basically, that allowed a 20-foot setback for straight-in garages and for side-on garages, average setbacks from 10 to 25 feet, and provided a maximum of 5 parking spaces, 2 of which must be on the site. This method would allow for the variety of setbacks, but would get away from the percentage factor, and the staff felt it would meet the need and requirements expressed by the City Council. Although the other alternatives were pointed out at the meeting, there was not a great deal of discussion. Councilwoman Kaywood was of the opinion that by using different house plans, the "row housing" look could be avoided. Councilman Seymour stated he would vote against the ordinance in favor of something with more flexibility and reflecting forward thinking; but he did not agree that the way to solve the parking problem was to request a 25-foot front setback, and considering the value of land, there should be a better way to utilize it. He felt that the City Planning Commission should review the report by the staff and make recommendations along the lines discussed by the Council. He was of the opinion that the ideas expressed at the joint meeting of the City Planning Commission and the City Council may have been misinterpreted to mean the Council preferred the existing 6- to 10-foot seback requirements to be en- tirely eliminated. Councilwoman Kaywood noted that, having been concerned about the problem for some four years, she had reviewed neighborhoods throughout the City and on the larger lots, there seems to be no problem with the 6- to 10-foot setbacks; however, on the smaller lots she observed vehicles parked in the 74-1008 City M-!i~ A,~heim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M. driveways, overhanging the sidewalks. Insofar as automatic garage door openers are concerned, she was of the opinion that to require them was unnecessary; that people do not necessarily want them; and they would cause an increase in the use of electricity. Councilman Seymour noted that in a subdivision where, for example, there might be 20% of the homes constructed with a 6- to 10-foot setback with automatic garage door openers, if a buyer does not want that, he has the option to purchase one of the other homes in the same subdivision which may have a 25-foot setback. Councilwoman Kaywood felt that the average home buyer is not aware of all the problems with a home until he lives with them. Councilman Seymour agreed; however, he reiterated that in developing an ordinance to prevent this problem, the City Council should not eliminate the possibility of innovation in development and imaginative land planning. At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilwoman Kaywood offered Ordinance No. 3359 for adoption.

PROPQSED ~F~.SE - MAGNOLIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY: The City Manager reported on a proposed lease of certain premises adjacent to the Albert Schweitzer Elementary School property for park and recreation purposes, advising that the school would continue to have access to the property for their activities. Parks, Recreation and the Arts Director John Collier called attention to a colored rendering posted on the east wall of the Council Chamber depicting Schweitzer Park, and noted similar uses of schools and municipal properties throughout the City to achieve maximum utilization for schools and the public all year long of the park and recreation facilities. He advised that four baseball diamonds were to be located on the Schweitzer Park property, and he described the picnic sections and game areas, etc. Mr. Murdoch pointed out that the City would be responsible for the maintenance of the 4.36 acre parcel. RESOLUTION NO. 74R-501: Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 74R-501 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Book.

Roll Call Vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Kaywood, Seymour, Pebley, Sneegas and Thom COUNCIL MEMBERS: None COUNCIL MEMEBRS: None The Mayor declared Resolution No. 74R-501 duly passed and adopted. Councilman Seymour called attention to plans for Riverdale and Juarez Parks, noting that barbeque areas have been located in fairly close proximity to the single-family residential developments, and he suggested moving these facili- ties to a location some distance further from the residential areas. Mr. Collier reported that Riverdale Park was still in the tentative stage; that the plans for Juarez Park were nearing completion, and it was possible to make some changes if these facilities were too close to residential areas. REPORT - TWILAREID PARK: Councilwoman Kaywood asked the status of the Twila Reid Park. Park Superintendent Dick Kamphefner reported that the grading had been completed, and the crews are installing storm drains, sewers, and irrigation main lines. At the present time, bids are being solicited for other portions of the development. BICYCLE PLAN STUDY: Report from the Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Planning Com- mittee was submitted, determining that three out of eight prOposals received to conduct a study and recommend a plan for bicycle facilities in the City, are the most qualified, as follows: Urban Futures, Inc., Santa Aha, California Governmental Professional Services, Inc., Santa Aha, California Recreation Land Planners, Inc., Placentia, California Councilman Seymour advised he had reviewed the three proposals and asked if the fee for the services would be approximately the same. 74-1010 City Hall~ AnAheim~ Califormia - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Murdoch reported that no fixed figure had been established, the selected firm would be employed on the basis of rates for the personnel utilized; the cost of the study has been estimated at about $10,000, and the amount of the Federal Grant was approximately $34,000. Councilman Seymour questioned whether the remainder of the grant funds could be utilized for implementation of the bicycle facilities. Mr. Murdoch replied in the affirmative. Councilwoman Kaywood advised that she would object to any proposed use of sidewalks for bicycles trails. Councilman Seymour stated that he favored the proposal submitted by Recreation Land Planners, Inc.; that the expertise and approach to the study seemed to be equal between their firm and Urban Futures, Inc., however the princi- pals of the former reside in, and have been employed by the City, and therefore, are very aware of the City's traffic situation and problems. Councilman Seymour moved that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an agreement with Recreation Land Planners, Inc. to conduct the bicycle plan study. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY - PARKING MANAGEMENT STUDY: The City Attorney reported that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has scheduled a meeting in Los Angeles on October 15, 1974, pertaining to the Parking Management Plan regula- tions proposed this past August, one of a series of meetings in different locations within the State of California. It was his understanding that some of the other Orange County cities were in the process of attempting to explore the option of local control or review of parking management, as proposed by said regulations. Councilwoman Kaywood reported that the Orange County Division of the League of California Cities and the Southern California Association of Governments have made recommendations regarding the issue. Mr. Murdoch advised that the time originally established for the imple- mentation of the minimum 250 parking space facilities had been postponed for six months, however the larger ones with 1,000 or more spaces will require review commencing January 1, 1975. PROPOSED AGREEHENT~ ANAHEIM CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT: The City Manager reported on the proposed employment of a Naturalist for the Oak Canyon Site in connection with the City's Recreatiom Program, advising that the position falls under a Federal Grant to the Anaheim City School District, the City to employ the Naturalist and bill the School District for his salary; however, the Citywould be obligated for the employee's fringe benefits. The Grant calls for the School District to provide for some of the facilities and the sharing of costs which, in turn, will be reimbursed by the Federal government. RESOLUTION NO. 74R-502: On the recommendation of the City Manager, Councilman Seymour offered Resolution No. 74R-502 for adoption, authorizing the execution of an agreement with the Anaheim City School District as discussed.

Councilman Seymour left the Council Chambers. (2:58 P.M.) 74-1011 City Hall~ Amaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M. REPORT - MANPOWER PLANNING: Pursuant to the City Council's previous expression of interest and concern regarding the Manpower programs, a twenty-seven page report dated October 5, 1974 was submitted. Assistant City Manager Robert M. Davis advised that the City had entered into a consortium agreement with the Cities of Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove, and the County of Orange, designated as the Orange County Manpower Commission, to carry out the programs under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (C.E.T.A.). It was felt that a number of the programs could be carried out on a Joint basis to avoid duplica- tion, and it was indicated that there could be a 10% bonus for agencies partici- pating in a consortium agreement. The Commission receives all C.E.T.A. funds for the County, acts as prime contractor for all programs, and monitors funding programs. The total funds received for the County to date amount to $9,494,802. Mr~ Davis thereupon briefed the contents of the report. Councilman Seymour returned to the Council Chambers. (3:00 P.M.) Councilwoman Kaywood left the Council Chambers (3:04 P.M.) and returned (3:08 P.M.). Mr. Bill Hepburn of the Department of Labor addressed the City Council usi~ a slide presentation, going into more detail relative to the data contained in the report. He noted that 6.4% of the total County population was at the below poverty level, and the same figure held for Anaheim; also Anaheim contains 13.8% of the total unemployment in Orange County. Councilman Pebley left the Council Chambers (3:13 P.M.) and returned (3:15 P.M.). Mr. Hepburn advised that the figures used in the report were based on the 1970 Federal Census. He called attention to two pilot programs currently being developed, one being day care for children, which in some cases is being considered for combination with existing pre-school programs, and possibly with child care training programs in the colleges. Another pilot program would be using Manpower trainees learning con- struction trades to make repairs to houses owned by low-income families, initially focusing on senior citizens. Councilman Seymour expressed the opinion that day care centers should be operated using private enterprise to the greatest depth possible. Mr. Davis concurred with the premise of using private enterprise, how- ever, explained that the thrust is to provide an initial service which would not render the City responsible for long-term funding. He gave as an example the day care center in Fullerton which was initiated by the City and is currently being carried on by the schools under State funding. If private enterprise is involved, it would be more difficult to continue the program unless the specific funding is available. Councilwoman Kaywood noted that most day care centers are not equipped to care for babies or small children in diapers, and she felt many mothers who were qualified to work would feel able to do so if there was quality care avail- able for these young children. Mr. Hepburn pointed out that home care, as well as institutional care was being considered. Mayor Thom noted that the quality of child care is. under the Jurisdic- tion of the County and State, not the City. The City Manager was of the opinion that care must be taken as to what type of day care centers should be included in the program, since Manpower funds are directed towards increasing employment. Mr. Watts counseled that at the present time the City Zoning Code allows up to five unrelated children to be cared for in a home, in addition to the family. 74-1012 City Hall~ A_~aheim~ California - COIINCIL MINUTES - October 8t 1974t. 1:30 P.M. Councilman Seymour suggested that the home repair program previously mentioned be emphasized in the location referred to as the "downtown" area, and work be coordinated with redevelopment of Project "Alpha", so as to preserve as many of these single-family residences as possible. Mr. Murdoch replied that this was part of the objective, to utilize the Manpower Program together with any other phases of the rehabilitation program of redevelopment as possible. Methods are available for the upgrading of residential structures, where they are capable of being saved, through the use of low interest loans. Councilwoman Kaywood felt that if basic quality construction were required initially, structures would not deteriorate so rapidly. Mr. Davis noted that housing and rehabilitation of housing was one of the major purposes of the Community Development Act, and it is hoped that the City will be able to provide these services through C.E.T.A. Mmnpower funds, and · aterials through the Community Development Act. Councilman Seymour was of the opinion that there is a way to use tax incre~ent funds for the provisions of repair materials, so that funds from the Community Development Act Programmay be used for other financial needs which will have to be met. The priority of the various funds should be considered, along with the source of funds and the method of expending them. Mr. Murdoch noted that the major portion, 580 units, of the houses mentioned in the report are located in the central area of the City within Project "Alpha". Councilman Seymour stated that this area should receive first priority. Councilman Sneegas left the Council Chambers. (3:40 P.M.) The Mayor thanked Mr. Hepburn for the presentation and report. REPORT - GOMMLINITY RELATIONS PROGRAM: Report was submitted by Joe Garza, Community Relations Representative (copies funished each Council Member), and Mr. Garza briefed said report, describing the responsibility of his position. He stated that in working with the school districts he found a multitude of children who were not getting proper education, who are beginning to drop out of school, and some were getting into criminal activities which ultimately leads to incarcerat- ion. Lack of education can result in lack of employment. He had also discovered that many apartment houses in various sections of the City are extremely overcrowded. Mayor Thom asked what Mr. Garza, in his position, could do when he encounters such a situation. Mr. Garza replied that until this point of time, he has not attacked the problem, and there is not much that can be done without legislation which can eliminate these housing conditions. In two cases, he did contact the Health Department. Sneegas Councilman ~y~ returned to the meeting. (3:45 P.M.) The Mayor was of the opinion that there is a provision in the Zoning Code which limits the number of unrelated people who may inhabit a .dwelling, and if so, when such a situation is encountered, the Zoning Enforcement Officer could be called in. At this point, however, another problem would arise. Mr. Garza agreed, being of the opinion it would be better to approach the apartment house owner to prevent overcrowded conditions. The lack of low- income housing was one Of the key factors involved in the problem. Councilman Seymour felt that this was only a portion of the problem; that training people to a point where they are equipped to take on higher-paying Jobs would result in their being able to be financially independent. The Mayor inquired whether there was any other agency where people. could go for assistance in locating living quarters. See Minutes of November 5, 1974, 1:30 P.M., Page No. 74-1074, '~inutes". 74-1013 City W~ll~ Anahe~m~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8~ 1974~ 1:30 P.M. Mr. Garza replied that there might be such an agency, however he was unaware of how much of that responsibility he would be able to assume. In his opinion, overcrowding and poor living conditions have a detrimental effect on people. Mr. Murdoch pointed out that Mr. Garza has reached the point where he is ready to commence inventorying some of the problems, but not the point where many of the solutions have been reached. These matters may be brought to the Council with at least partial solutions suggested for some relief and remedial action. He further noted that the complete person must be considered in making recommendations for a solution to a particular problem. Mr. Garza resumed and completed his report. Mr. Mardoch pointed out that wherever possible, the emphasis will be on the utilization of existing agencies who either perform, or have the responsibility for the performance of the functions which fit into this picture. If they are not currently doing so, it is highly likely that there is an existing agency which has the normal capability of handling it. At this point, it is not antici- pated that the City will be introducing additional services. Mayor Thom was of the opinion that the City's 1970 concept of the then- proposed Community Relations Representative was as reported by Mr. Garza, i.e., a social referral type of proiramwhere the needs could be identified and properly channeled to the appropriate existing agency which could serve them. Councilwoman Kay~ood asked whether there was a place in the Office of the Community Relations Representative for a "Reach-Out" program which could involve some 10 to 20 women of differing backgrounds in a program to assess their status and their goals. Mr. Garza advised that there was some space available in his office building located at 118 North Emily Street which could be utilized for such a program. The Council ~embers indicated that the progress of the Com=mnity Relations Program, as outlined by Mr. Garza, is in keeping with their intent. Mrs. Gloria Lopez was invited by Councilwoman Kaywood to address the Council, and asked whether the City was planning to bring the agencies which have been inaccessible to the local citizens, into the Community Services Center. She saw no need for another referral agency, since there are welfare services which act in that capacity; however, she was in favor of bringing the services to Anaheim so people could get to them. Mr. Davis noted that the Manpower Program also refers to the Co~mamity Services Center, and the proposed Recruitment Job Development Center would be a part of the whole complex. Mayor Thom explained that this was the goal, to have these services available locally in a modular concept, scaled to the needs of Anaheim. ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM: The City Manager reported on a proposed agreement with the CaliforniaState University at Fullerton to conduct the Oral History Program for Anaheim, tape recording interviews with long-time residents relative to historical events as a part of the Bicentennial celebration. The Norvald Ulvestad Memorial Trust Fund would be utilized in the amount of $1,240. Counciwoman Kaywood pointed out that it would be well for those who will be conducting these interviews and compiling information to contact Mrs. Dixie Edwards and Mrs. Sarah Pearson, who have done considerable work along these lines. RESOLUTION NO. 74R-503: Councilman Thom offered Resolution No. 74R-503 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Book. 74-1014 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 8~ 1974~ %:30 P.M.

UNDERGROUND UTILITIES POLICY: Councilwoman Kaywood suggested that the Utilities Department investigate the possibilities of establishing an underground utilities policy wherein feeder lines in all new developments would be installed underground. She was concerned that where costs of conversion are so prohibitive, unless under- groumding is required initially it will not be a reality. She noted other nearby cities which have a program of conversion. Mr. Murdoch advised that he intended to bring this matter up at a later date and include reference to certain specific instances where determinations will be necessary as to financial responsibility. City Attorney Alan Watts advised that the existing ordinance was intended to provide for conversion, as opposed to initial underground installa- tion, and provides for creating an assessment district to assess the costs to the individual property owners. Discussion was held, and Councilwoman Kaywood pointed out that in the hill area of the City, homeowners pay a premium for a view lot, and they do not enjoy seeing utility poles and wires as a part of that view. It was her recollec- tion that a utilities report on assessment districts submitted approximately two to three years previously had projected that for a sum of between $250 and $400 for each house on an acreage basis, paid over a period of ten years, these utili- ties could be placed underground. Councilman Sneegas pointed out that in the hill area feeder lines for a development are exposed only until they are no longer necessary to connect from one development to the next, and in completed developments the utilities are underground. Temporary utility lines are the only ones which are exposed. Councilwoman Kaywood was of the opinion that in this instance, "tem- porary'' could be a very long time. Councilman Sneegas stated that in most of the Anaheim Hills area, the developers had placed the utilities underground without any demand by the City; the agreement had been that if they could not be placed underground, and the lines were exposed, they would be extended through the canyons where they would not be exposed. In his opinion, the developers had kept faith with this agreement. EXECUTIVE SESSION: Councilman Sneegas moved to recess to Executive Session. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (4:14 P.M.) AFTER RECESS: Mayor Thom called the meeting to order, all members of the City Council being present. (4:47 P.M.) 'LOCAL UNION NO. 47~ INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORK.ERS: Mr. Garry McRae reported on agreement reached with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 47, concerning wages for the next year, said agreement comprising a 10.6% cost of living increase in wage rates for Utilities Deprtment Job Class- ifications. If the Los Angeles Consumer Price Index increases more than 6% for the 6-month period between October 1, 1974 through May 30, 1975, an additional increase for straight time rates of pay of %% for each increase in the Index of ½% or less in excess of 6%, with a maximum of 3%, will be effective May 5, 1975. He thereupon recommended adoption of a resolution adopting the cost of living increase as reported.
