%ity Hall, Anaheim~ California - CO~NCIL MINUTES - November 20~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
The City Planninz Commission pursuant to Resolution No. PC73-211,
denied said variance. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission
was filed by W. D. Prout, A~ent for the Applicant, and public hearing scheduled
October 16, 1973 and continued to October 30 and again to this date at the re-
quest of Harry Knisely, Attorney for the Applicant.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EXEMPTION STATUS: In accordance with the recom-
mendations of the City Planning Commission, on motion by Councilman Stephenson,
seconded by Councilman Sneegas, it was the finding of the City Council that the
impact of said variance would be trivial in nature and that no environmental
impact report or statement i~ required. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Charles Roberts nc~ed the location of the approximate one acre
parcel of property indicatinz the location of the adjacent industrial uses.
He reported that the requested variance is to permit a use not allowed by right
in the M-1 Zone and further advised that the pizza and billiard parlor with
on-sale beer is allowed under Variance No. 1896 granted September 19, 1967 and
a dinner dance license apDr~ved April 13, 1971. However it is now proposed to
charge an admission fee ~nd this changes the use classification to a "dance hall".
He reported that approximately one year ago, a request to convert from a "no
admission fee" concept to an "addmission fee" was denied by the City Council on
the basis that this could not he accomplished without appropriate hearing and
variance procedure.
He stated the ex~sting facility meets the 300-square foot floor area
and parking space requizements.
Mr. Roberts thereupon read the findings of the City Planning Commission
on which the variance request was denied and further reported that it was the
recommendations of the Planning Commission that the dinner dancing permit granted
be reviewed for possible revocation based on evidence submitted at the City
Planning Commission hearing on Variance No. 2551 from the adjoining industrial
property owners and lessees.
Correspondence received this date from Gordon R. Howard, Comet, Inc.,
was submitted and read withdrawing objections inasmuch as representatives of
Big John's have agreed in writing to police the parking lot area and take certain
steps to minimize previous existfng and future problems. Said correspondence
represents ownership of the following:
831 to 837 East Orangethorpe Avenue
1709 to 1713 Orangethorpe Park
1804 to 1808 Oranzethorpe Park
1812 to 1818 Oranzetborpe Park
The Mayor asked if the Applicant or his Agent wished to address the
Council.
Mr. Harry Knisely, Attorney representing the Applicant, 1741 Sou~h
Euclid Street, Anaheim, addressed the Council advising that the request for con-
tinuance was to allow an opportunity to work out problems with those who voiced
opposition.
He advised that as result of meeting with Mr. Howard's representative,
problems have been resolved and written agreements entered into.
He noted the dancing permit currently exists and it is simply a matter
of charging or not charging a fee and that the reason they wish to charge a fee
is for better control of the operation.
Mr. Mel Skilling representing Northrop Corporation, 500 East Orange-
thorpe Avenue (west of Big John's), addressed the Council in opposition being
of the opinion that a public dance hall would be an encroachment and would be in-
consistent with good land use planning in an industrial zone.
He called attention to the fact that they have been in the area 22 years
and were the first la~z. ~n~ustrialist to locate in Anaheim and did so because
of efficiently run gevernment and good land use planning.

City Hall~ Anabeim~ California COUNCIL MINUTES - November 20~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Maxtor Dutton noted that dancing has been permitted at this location
since 197! and asked ~r. Skilling if there has been any complaints or adverse
effects caused by this permit.
Mr. Skilling replied none to his knowledge and that the issue to
which he addressed his remarks is that of good land use planning; as a restau-
rant it is a compatible use.
The Mayc~ asked if anyone else wished to address the Council, there
being no response declared the hearing closed.

DINNER DANCE PLACE PERMIT - BIG JOHN'S PIZZA ESTABLISHMENT: Recommendations
of the City Plannin~ Commission to review said dinner dancing place permit was
received with no further action taken by the City Council.
PRESENTATION - CIVIC CENTER JOINT TASK FORCE - PROPOSED CIVIC CENTER: Mr. Mel
Skilling, member of Joint Task Force organized to develop the concept and plans
for a new Civic Center Complex addressed the Council advising briefly of the
work accomplishc~ with the aid of S.U.A. (Space Utilization Associates) and the
architectural firms of Dan Rowland and Associates and Le Roy Rose and Associates,
joint venture, as project architects plus certain members of the City sZaff.
Mr. Skilling submitted three reports for Council approval; 1.) The
S.U.A. report establishing the space utilization and proximity metrics; 2.)
The architectural report; 3.) The Task Force report. In his opinion the Task
Force was responsibl~ for an approximate 12,000-square foot reduction in size
which is a substantial =aving in today's market construction costs.
He stat~d the ~inal concept includes location as selected by the vote
of the people and land use convenience to the citizens, building efficiency,
visual impact and total benefits to the community. In addition, City business
can be conducted wz:~t in~er~uption as the new Civic Center is being con-
structed.
'3- 948
~%ty Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 20, 1973, 1;30 P.M.
Mr. Randy Bosch. with Dan Rowland and Associates, presented slides
as they appear in the architect's report and explained the various slides
showing, briefly, the site location which is centered and oriented to the
intersection of Anaheim Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue with primary vehicular
access to the site from Broadway.
With the phase construction criteria, it was determined that the ver-
tical circulation format would result as the most efficient buildin~ height and
sight utilization with the Council Chambers attached to the main building at
the first floor level and available from a common identity point and yet at the
same time separated in the terms of operation.
The public City Hall interface would be achieved by a primary nuclear
arrangement whereby the citizens come to a central point within the business
area of the City Hall.
Parking,which is to be a structure situated diagonally in the cen-
ter of the block, will afford direct access to City Hall.
The schematic overall site plan and model was reviewed by the City
Council and those present.
It was reported that the City Hall building will consist of eight
floors. The ground floor which is to be partially below grade will include most
of the service and employee aspects of the building. The first floor will be
the primary public access with two public gallerys within the building. Within
a two-story space there is connected all of the public contact functions that
have major emphasis within the City such as the Council Chambers, Customer Ser-
vice, Collection Division, City Clerk's Office, License Department, etc. The
fifth floor is to include a management control center and the seventh floor to
be the primary management area to include the Mayor and Councilmen's offices and
the City Manager Administrative staff.
Mr. Bosch explained materials to be used in the building stating the
total on today's market for both phases of construction the parking structure
and plaza will be in excess of 7½ million dollars not including additional land
acquisition, major building demolition, building furnishings o~r fees.
Mr. Skilling again recommended the approval of the three reports as
submitted. As to financing,he advised additional study was necessary before final
recommendation can be made.
Mr. Skilling further recommended that the total concept as presented
be approved and that the architects be authorized to proceed with working draw-
ings on the first phase of the project and that Claudina Street be closed to
vehicular access.
Councilman Thom questioned the time schedule on financing inasmuch as
additional indepth study is required.
Mr. Skilling stated that in his opinion the study on the method of
financing would be complete within 60 days and long before the working drawings
for phase one are finished.
Mr. Davis rcported that when this program was entered into, it was
intended to proceed with phase construction and Phase No. I was hoped to have
been financed from General Fund revenues. At the present time, the Task Force
would like to see the total building constructed at one time if at all feasible
and possible, as from an economic standpoint and cost savings to the taxpayer it
would be most advantageous. This type of financing, or this approach, if sought
requires the additional study by the Task Force on a possible method of financing
the total construction.
Mr. Davis further reported action at this time would authorize proceed-
ing with preliminary drawings, not actual working drawings, for Phase No. I only
for which funds have been budgeted. By approval~ the Council corm~its to the con-
cept of the building and the model but will not be commiting to the building of
the project.
73-949
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 20~ 1973t 1:30 P.M.
At thc conclusion of the discussion, on motion by Councilman Pebley,
seconded by Councilman Thom, the S.U.A. - Space Analysis Report, the archi-
tect's report and the Task Force Report were approved and the architects auth-
orized to proceed with the drawings for Phase No. 1. MOTION CARRIED.
As to the closing of the north end of Claudina Street at Lincoln
Avenue, it was agreed this should be accomplished and that said northerly
portion of Claudina Street should be abandoned when timely.
Mr. Watts advzsed that at the time the construction contract is an-
ticipated, abandcr~cnt proceedings could commence.
Recognizing the tremendous savings that would be realized by the
total construction of the Civic Center at this time, it was the general con-
census of the Council that a bond issue for the total construction should be
placed on the April 9, 1974 ballot.
CONTINUED REQUEST - SiDEWALKS~ ROMNEYA DRIVE: Request of Mrs. Marilyn Kitsman and
Mrs. G. B. Hueier, representing the Thomas A. Edison P.T.A. for the installa-
tion of asphalt walkway on a portion of Romneya Drive between Acacia Street
and Liberty Lane h~s been continued from the meetings of October 9 and 30,
1973 to provide fo~ ;~ore thorough investigation including similar situations
throughout the City and various methods that might be available to finance
necessary constr~ction.
Revised ~-cpcrt was submitted and briefed by Mr. Maddox, City Engineer,
who advised that these situations have occurred by either annexation of unde-
veloped property or subdivision tracts developed in the County and under County
standards which do not require sidewalks. All tracts developed within the City
or under annexation proceedings have been required to install sidewalks.
Mr. Maddox stated the report outlines four possible methods of pro-
viding sidewalks in those areas where needed. Briefly;
1. Use of gas tax funds or combination of gas tax funds and general
funds.
2. Establish special assessment districts and install sidewalks
only in areas where requested by the majority of the property owners with the
major costs (60%) assessed against the abutting property and remaining cost
(40%) distributed over a large and adjacent area.
3. Special assessment districts, the boundaries of which would coin-
cide with school district boundaries.
a. Assessment of a special charge of 25 cents per month on the
utility bills.
Mr. Maddox advised method No. 2 (as more clearly set forth in the re-
port) would be their recommendation and in this case sidewalks would be in-
stalled in those areas on Romneya Drive without sidewalks with the adjacent
owners assessed 60% to 70% of the costs and the school attendance 'district
assessed the remaining costs.
Maps were posted on the west wall of the Council Chambers. One in-
dicating the boundaries of the school district in subject area, the other in-
dicating areas withintbe City without sidewalks.
Mr. Maddox was of the opinion that the situation could never actually
be distributed on a fair basis. He noted sidewalks are non-existent for a
total of 159 sidewalk miles,excluding the industrial areas and on arterial high-
ways would cost a conservatively estimated $1,200,000 and along interior tract
streets another S1,250,000. He stated if the City wished to absorb a portion
of the costs, zt could by absorbing the costs of the preliminary survey, plan
preparation and drawing of assessment maps,and this could offset costs by 20%
to 40%.
Mr. Davis stated that the effectiveness of this program must consider
how we accomplish the needs to build sidewalks in at least the most critical
areas in the mostequita~le manner. The assessment approach has some serious
considerations in gettinz the job done as there may be many areas on arterial
73-950
]ity Hall., 7~,ahe~_im~ Californi~ ......... , ()UN~'TL MINI ~ES - November 20~ 1973; 1:30 P.M.
streets in need of sidewalks ~ ~t are adjacent to areas that have sidewalks in
and paid for as a part of their development. This creates a real problem in
forming an assessment district and trying to spread those costs to adjacent
areas who have already paid for sidewalks but where the actual pedestrian traf-
fic may be generated from. In addition, assessment districts are costly and
in the equity of the situation, there is a natural reticence on the part of
those who have already paid for sidewalks to pay again. These problems and many
others can exist with the assessment district approach.
Mr. Davis stated th~ real question was how does the City accomplish
the objective of providing a safe route to school for the children where there
are hazardous situations.
As an altern,l,~ possibility, ~as tax f, nds for the construction of
sidewalks on a limited basis could be used, meeting certain criteria such
as:
1. The sidewalks would be only on major, primary and secondary streets.
2. Only one ~ide of the street would be improved.
3. The area must be the safest route to school (this fact to be es-
tablished by using the crossin2 guard warrants).
4. The area will not be one where the children are presently bussed.
5. Temporary ~c~]ks ~ould be installed in those areas that are go-
ing to be widened in the future or abutting properties that is subject to land
use chsn~e.
6. Petitiomo or requests filed with the City which would then be
analyzed.
Mr. Davis was of thecp~nion that the above program would provide for
installation of sidewalks over a period of time at a much less cost and would
still take care of the real problem areas. He noted also if this solution is
adopted, and gas tax funds are utilized, the portions utilized would take away
from other street projects. However, thi~ is a method of meeting the most crit-
ical needs.
Mrs. Margaret quo]er, 1015 Liberty Lane, stated she ,did not realize
she was triggering ~,~n ~ ~,o~,~'~tous project. As to the total City, she asked if
all have the same problc~ ~berc 185 children can walk on sidewalks to within two
blocks of school (which ~s two lots) and then run into the mud problem. Further
they do not request cement sidewalks.
Mr. Davi~ rcferr~ to the posted ~aps and stated unfortunately there
are many other arcas wi!~ the same type of request, may be not because of the
mud problem in the rainv season, but of possible traffic hazards.
Mrs. Hueler requested their area be considered an exceptional case.
Mrs. Jean Patterson, 2162 West Judith Lane, Anaheim, 'recommended the
25 cent assessment charged on the utility bills as does the City of Garden' Grove.
Mrs. Patterson stated she lives on the corner of Brookhurst and Katella.and their
children are out in 40-mile an hour traffic and she has been working on this prob-
lem for eight years. She further stated there was no way to get from their area
to St. Justin School, James Madison School, Trident-School or Loara High School
without walking in the traffic lane. She did not feel the total installation of
sidewalks was necessary but that further contact with the people in these areas
and physical inspection of ~bese areas are needed.
Mrs. Pattersnn asked why the Garden Grove method was not considered.
Councilman Snecgas responded by advising that most of the homes in the
City of Anaheim have sidewalks that the homeowners have either paid for or are pay-
ing for in their mortgage payments. The question is,should all the people in
Anaheim who have paid to have sidewalks installed be taxed now to pay for side-
walks fronting those homes who haven't paid for them. To him, it was the princi-
ple of the thing which was morally wrong. Garden Grove was a considerable dif-
ferent situation in that more people in Garden Grove would benefit from the 25
cents assessment in that a great majority of the streets in Garden Grove do not
have sidewalks.
73-951
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 20; 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. ?atterson noted that the City of Garden Grove voted on this
method of payment for sidewalks.
RECESS: Councilman Sneegas moved for a ten-minute recess. Councilman Dutton
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (3:25 P.M.)
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Dutton called the meeting to order, all members of the Council
being present and the business before the Council resumed. (3:35 P.M.)
SIDEWALKS: Mr. Davis again recommended the use of gas tax funds as the quick-
est and easiest way tc accomplish the objective of trying to install sidewalks
in critically needed areas, advising that it does spread the cost as the people
using the streets are the ones that pay for a part of that cost, pedestrians
are also part cf the traffic on the street. He noted that this method is legal
and is legally used to acquire needed right-of-way. To install blacktop in
the subject area on Romneya Drive would solve the immediate problems but does
not solvc the overall problem.
It w~ su~csted that the asphalt walk be installed on Romneya as
requc~cd and in the meantime, the Safety Committee establish warrants for
sidewalk installations under the gas tax funds. It was thereupon moved by
Councilman Stephcn~on, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, that installation of
blacktop be authorized nn the two lots siding on the south side of Romneya
Drive, between Liberty Lane and Boden Drive. MOTION CARRIED.
Mrs. ?attersnn again asked the Council to consider the 25 cents
assessment method, not for installation of overall needed sidewalks, but to
correct only those hazardous areas.
Mr. Ed Granzow, Traffic Engineer, reported that several other areas
are currently bein~ reviewed at the present time.
CROSSING GUARD - ZION LUTHERAN SCHOOL AND CHURCH - EAST AND CYPRESS STREETS: Re-
quest of the Zion Lutheran Church for crossing guards at the intersection of
East and Cypress Streets, stating reasons therefore and agreeing to pay the
City to employee said guards at an hourly rate from $2;01 per hour to $2.25
per hour, was submitted together with report from the City Engineer recommend-
ing approval.
On motion by Councilman Sneegas, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
the City Attorney was instructed to prepare necessary resolution and agreement
in accordance with request and Engineer's recommendation. MOTION CARRIED.
PARKING - TIME LIMITS - EMILY~ CHARTRES AND PHILADELPHIA STRR~TS: Request of Criss
Business College that the two-hour parking limit signs be removed on the east
side of the 100 block of Emily Street, the south side of the 200 block of
Chartres Street and the west side of the 100 block of Philadelphia Street, to
allow students of the Criss Business College to park during school hours be-
tween 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and the two-hour parking be enforced'only between
noon and 6:00 p.m., was submitted together with report of the Traffic Engineer
recormnendinR the parking time limits on these streets remain as posted.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Sneegas,
recommendation of the Traffic Engineer was accepted and parking time limits
on Emily, Chartres and Philadelphia Streets ordered to remain as posted.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Bob Cumming of the Criss Business College addressed the Council
advising that when the Criss Business College moved to their present location
from Lincoln Avenue in January 1968, they were assured of on-street parking
for their students. Further he questioned the change of parking limits with-
out notification to those effected by such a change. He also reported that a
two-hour parkin~ limit sign has been posted in the one space green zone front-
ing the school creating a conflict as people are not sure it is a 20-minute
zone or a two-hour zone.
He stated approximately 40 cars are involved and as most of the stu-
dents are on a State rehabilitation program, a veteran's program, ~ederal fund-
ing or State grants, they do not have the six dollars per month to pay for off-
street parking.
73-952
~t~ Hall~ Anaheim, Califor~ - C~TNCIL MINUTES - November 20~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Cummi~k advised thst their greatest concern was that this change
was made without them bein~ notified as had they known, they felt something
could have been worked out between the hours they need the on-street parking and
the hours on-street parking is needed by the Senior Citizens. He suggested that
either the two-hour parkin~ signs be removed from Emily and Philadelphia Streets
or that the two-hour parking limitations start at 12 noon.
As to the tim, zhanze, it was noted that Senior Citizens' schedules
include many morning activities during which the parking limit time would be
required.
No further action was taken by the City Council.
IECLASSIFICA.%ION NO, 71-72-~1 - VARIANC~ NO. ~310: Submitted by Mr. Harry S. Rinker
requesting public hearing to consider an additional access point on Santa Aha
Canyon Road by means ~ a driveway agreement to serve the proposed shopping center
at the northeast corner of Santa Ana Canyon Road and Imperial Highway.
Development Services Department reported that while this request may be
appropriate at this location at this time, it should be pointed out that a similar
request can be anticipated for the property at the northeast corner of Imperial
Highway and Santa Ana Canyon Road (Reclassification No. 73-74-25 and Variance
No. 2563). Continuing approval of additional access points to Santa Aha Canyon Road
could render it ineffective as a limited access expressway. It should be pointed
out, however, that due tn approved rasidential development throughout the length
of Santa Ana Canyon Road, few additional requests should be anticipated.
City Engineer recommended approval be granted for one additional com-
mercial driveway access to the property east of Imperial Highway on the north
side of Santa Ana Canyon Road subject to the execution of a driveway agreement
satisfactory to the City Attorney and City Engineer which requires that the
developer provide channelization to prevent access to Santa Ana Canyon Road at
such time as the average daily traffic volume on Santa Ana Canyon Road reaches
25,000 vehicles daily.
As to a public hearing, Mr. Don McDaniel reported t~at action as re-
quested would not require an amendment to the General Plan as the actual reguest
is for a "temporary driveway" and not an additional access point in the terms of
the access point study that originally granted eleven (11) access points to Santa
Aha Canyon Road.
Mr. Rinker, owner-developer, advised of their inability to obtain
tenants without some sort of vehicular access and a temporary access would
enable businesses to become established up to a point of 25,000 cars per day
and at that time there would be the possibility that an access would no longer
be warranted and the tem, orary access would terminate. At that time traffic
would be formed into a cnrridor going out onto Imperial Highway thereby effec-
tively closing the access. This, he advised, meets with City Staff approval
and would enable the shopping center to become leasable. This would not be
granting an additional access, it would only be granting a temporary access.
Councilman Stephenson asked if the channelized corridor to Imperial
Highway would be from the Rinker property.
Mr. Rinker replied the former problem was left-turns and U-turns from
the shopping center property and that there was no objection to traffic flowing
from the center in a right-turn only situation going west and north only.
Mr. McDaniel reported that specific plans of development approved on sub-
ject property as a part of the reclassification and variance showed access at point
No. 6A but specifically denied access at the point being currently requested as
a temporary access and if there is a change in plans approved as a part of the
reclassification, in all probability a public hearing should be held.
73-953
City Ha%~, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES - Nov-mher.20. 1973. 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Watts felt, to the extent it is defined as a "temporary access"
it would not be inconsistent with the zoning action at the public hearing,
and if it is called "temporary access" with respect to the General Plan, it
could also be called "temporary access" with respect to the zoning actton~
He further reported that a satisfactory agreement as recommended by the City
Engineer has been prepared and submitted to his office.
At the conclusion of the discussion, on motion by Councilman Smeegas,
seconded by Councilman Dutton, temporary access to Santa Aha Canyon Road was
granted as requested, subject to the terms and conditions as recommended by
the City Engineer. MOTION CARRIED.
TENTATIVE TRACT NO, 7417 - EXTENSION OF TIM~: In accordance with recommendations
of the Development Services Department and the City Engineer, on motion by
Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, one year extension of time
was granted to Tentative Tract No. 7417, Revision No. 3, to expire December 21,
1974, subject to the conditions as recommended by the City Engineer. MOTION CARRIED.
FINAL MAP TRACT NO, 7666: Developer J. W. Krug Development Company, Inc., ~ract
located east of Imperial Highway, south of Esperanza Road and north of La
Palma Avenue, and contains 72 RS-5000 zoned lots.
Action on said final tract map was continued from the meeting of
November 6, 1973, for possible negotiations with the PlacentiaUnified School
District regarding a future school site.
Communications from Terry L. Crowther of Pacesetter Homes, Inc., was
received November 16, 1973, requesting removal of Final Tract Map No. 7666
from the Council agenda and return of all bonds and refund of all fees.
Mr. Maddox reported the City has incurred costs in checking the
improvement plans, however, he did not know the amount of the costs at this
time.
Councilman Stephenson moved that Final Map Tract No. 7666 be re-
moved from Council agenda and authorized that applicable bonds and fees sub-
mitted in conjunction with said tract be released provided that prior to release,
recoverable costs which the City has incurred be deducted. Councilman Pebley
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
TRACT NO. 5778 - IRREVOCABLE OFFER OF DEDICATION: Irrevocable offer of dedication
of Lot A, Tract No. 5778, was approved as to form and ordered recorded on
motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Sneegas. MOTION CARRIED.
VARIANCE NO. 2560: Submitted by Tustin Village Inc., requesting waiver of required
"garage setback" for the construction of 41 lots (Tract No. 7736)~and 44 lots
(Tract No. 7617) proposed R-1 subdivisions, on property located on the north
side of Santa Aha Canyon Road northwest of Mohler Drive.

pRO~0SA~ - COMPU%gR SCIENCE CORPORATION: Report on the meeting held to evaluate the

Councilman Thom asked Mr. Davis if'there was a dollar value placed on
the agreement with MDS.
Mr. Davis replied negatively, however, stated certain intangibles were
analyzed and considered, such as the use of their fiscal accounting system.
Mr. Thom advised that he still favors securing a service bureau to do
data processing in order to limit the amount of money expended,, as in the last
3-1/2 years the City has the same number of programs at double the cost.
Mr. Davis advised that progress has been slow due to conversion of those
programs and the only program remaining is the fiscal, or accounting system.
JOINT ~OWERS AGREEMENT - CHINO HILLS AIRPORT: Mr. Watts referred to amendments to the
Joint Powers Agreement he previously distributed to Council members clarifying the
commitment of Chino Hills Airport, Inc., to fund this program. In addition there
was added a provision whereby any city which is a party to the agreement may with-
draw at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other parties to the
agreement and in the event a city withdraws, they shall not be responsible for any
expenditures other than those previously authorized by it; the financial obligation
ceases the date of the written notice of withdrawal.
Mayor Dutton briefed the status of the proposal as far as other cities
are concerned, noting dates the issue will come before their respective councils.
Mr. William D. Ehrle representing ICEBERG (prepared statement on file)
addressed the Council expressing the concern of the community of this involvement.
He noted that the area proposed for the International Airport was not within the
limits of Anaheim yet involvement might possibly force a commitment of Anaheim
taxpayer's money.
73-961
City Hall. Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES - November 20. 1973, 1..:30.P.M-
Mr. Ehrle further ~dvised that evidence expressed by the County of
Orange and neighboring cities indicate reluctance and opposition.
In light of the evidence, ICEBERG has taken a "voter research study"
within the city for the express purpose of bringing to the City Council vital
"in-put" for immediate consideration concerning the 3oint Powers Agreement
and the Chino Hills Airport proposal.
The voter research study was analyzed by five qualified professional
and competent individuals who total 61 years experience in the field of research
and analysis.
Mr. Ehrle advised of the two methods employed to insure accuracy of
the survey results. The first being a controlled situation whereby voluntary
workers were directed to selected precincts within the city. The selected
precincts were considered "key" precincts by the Staff in determining voter's
participation, community awareness and political awareness. Representative
samples of all residential types were included to insure a valid cross-section
of social-economic variables. The following question was asked to 436 voters:
"Are you in favor of the proposed City Council decision to enter
into a feasibility study of the Chino Hills airport?" If not in favor,
please sign the petition of protest.
Results:
Interviewed - 436
Opposing, or signing petition - 306 (70.3%)
Would not sign - 36 (8.2%)
Undecided - 94 (21.5%)
Mr. Ehrle advised that an analysis of this result would be that
over two-third of the registered voters in these selected precincts do not wish the
City of Anaheim to enter into a feasibility study or expend City funds.
Mr. Ehrle explained that the second approach was a random sample
telephone survey in which 283 calls were made, and that only the responses
of registered voters were recorded, and that this represents 176, or 62.5%
of the telephone calls made. ,
Listed below are the three questions asked and the results:
Question - "Are you aware of a proposed international airport
in the Chino Hills?"
Results
Responses - 176 -
YES - 137 (77.8%)
NO - 39 (22.2%)
Analysis: Over three-fourths of the registered voters in the city
are aware of the proposed airport.
Question - "Should the Anaheim City Council approve City funds for
a feasibility study for the proposed international
airport?"
Results
Responses - 176
YES - 22 (12.5%)
NO - 115 (65.3%)
UNDECIDED 39 (22.2%)
Analysis: Approximately two-thirds of the registered voters do not
want the Anaheim City Council to expend funds for feasibility study.
Question - "Should the Anaheim City Council commit the City to a
3oint Powers Agreement with other communities for a
proposed international airport without citizen's
approval?"

]it¥ Hall. Anaheim, Cali~o~ni~ - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 20. 1973. 1:30 P.M.
Results
Responses - 176
YES - 23 (13%)
NO - 123 (70%)
UNDECIDED - 30 (17%)
Analysis: Over two-thirds of the registered voters do not want the
City to enter into a feasibility study without voter approval.
Mr. Ehrle advised that both methods of survey reveal essentially the
same results, therefore, they, ICEBERG, make the following proposals and
recommendations.
1. That the overwhelming majority of registered voters in the City
of Anaheim do not favor at this time entering into a joint powers agreement and
therefore strongly recommend to the City Council to cease continuation of this
study.
However, if the City Council feels it is necessary to move into this
joint powers agreement, they would suggest the following:
1. Pass a resolution at this meeting and place the issue of entering
into a joint powers agreement on the general election ballot in April to allow
the citizens to vote either approval or denial of this important matter.
In conclusion, Mr. Ehrle asked the City Council to seriously consider
their suggestions and recommendations and advised that if they did not, ICEBERG
will be forced to again secure a referendum petition. He thereupon submitted
the signed petitions previously referred to.
Councilman Pebley reported that contacts he has had feel as long as it
is ironclad that the City doesn't spend any money in any way, the people who were
opposed to the airport would not oppose the study. He personally felt the project
was economically unfeasible and that the airport would never become a reality, but
felt they should be given an opportunity to try.
Mr. Ehrle advised that they, too, share the concern that the project
will be unfeasible and that is why they felt their in-put particularly important
considering, the possible outcome.
Councilman Sneegas felt the survey taken pointed out the need for
information for people to make a rational decision, most of the comments made
and letters received, addressed themselves to conditions so far out as to be
unbelieveable, so information is not sufficient at this time for people to make
a rational decision. If the Council decision is negative, he preferred knowing
exactly why, and not the innuendos or suppositions referred to such as "the noise
is going to disturb the technical equipment in a hospital 11 miles away'.
Councilman Sneegas felt that all that should be done.is to acquire the
necessary information to make a decision and if this can be done without involve-
ment of City funds he wondered why any city would oppose it. He agreed the sub-
ject of "airports" was unpopular, but also agreed that transportation is an
absolute necessity for every part of our lives.
Mayor Dutton advised that in the past, airports have been built in
distant and undeveloped areas, and their unpopularity has been created by the
uncontrolled, incompatible intrusion which has been allowed to happen.
Councilman Stephenson expressed the opinion that the agreement should
be entered into as long as absolutely no City funds are involved.
Councilman Sneegas thought it should be clear, and no false conclusions
be drawn in that in all probability it will be necessary to furnish personnel to
sit in on these conferences so staff time will be involved.
Mr. Watts noted the legal counsel for the Joint ~owers Agency, according
to the agreement, will be alternated between the City of Anaheim and the City of
Chino, so to that extent, Anaheim will be involved.

As to the time involved, Colonel Lohman reported that public hearings
are anticipated on the final p~.i~t in IA to 16 months.
RESOLUTION NO 73R-562:' Councilman Dutton offered Resolution No. 73R-562 for
adoption, authorizing the terms and conditions of said agreement as amended
and reported by Mr. Watts.
Councilman Thom asked if the agreement still included Section 7
wherein Anaheim is to use "its best efforts tg annex"?
Mr. Watts replied affirmatively, but it is to be without litigation.
Councilman Thom stated that this is where the real expenditure will
be in annexing and serving the area between Anaheim and Chino.
Mr. Watts advised that the "best efforts to annex" occurs after the
feasibility study has been completed and it has been determined that we should
proceed, then the cities of Chino and Anaheim would attempt to use their best
efforts; they may be successful and they may be unsuccessful. If they are
unsuccessful, it is a new ball game and he did not know what the situation
would be then, but if they are successful there is no question that it will
involve some expenditures. However, this is several years distant. He felt
the economic feasibility study would indicate tha economic benefit of such an
arrangement should the city proce~J. --.is would be a Council decision at that
time.
Mr. Dutton thereupon again offered Resolution No. 73R-562 for adoption.
