The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC72-40, granted said conditional use permit, in part, granting the use only, sub- ject to the following condition*, and denying the requested waiver: 1. That this conditional use permis granted subject to the comr pletion of Reclassification NO. 71-72-32. 2. That subject property shall be developed substantially in ac- cordance with plans and specifications on file with the City Of Anaheim smirked Exhibit No. 1, provided, however, that the circular driveway to Lin- coln Avenue shall be deleted. 72 -182 Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject property, existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and advised that a parcel of land approximately 500 feet east of subject property has been converted to commercial use. He advised that the requested waiver to develop a circular driveway with two access points off of Lincoln Avenue was denied by the City Planning Commission, on the basis that it would create serious traffic conflicts on a heavily traveled arterial highway. Mr. Roberts noted that the General Plan indicates Commercial-Profes- sional use is appropriate for the north side of Lincoln Avenue in this area. Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant was present and wished to ad- dress the Council. Tariq M. Shamma, Architectural Engineer, Applicant, stated they were satisfied with the City Planning Commission recommendations on the reclassifi- cation application; however, they would like the circular driveway approved for convenience of dropping off passengers and supplies, not for parking. He advised that the other residence converted to commercial use on this block also was owned by them and is where they presently have their busi- ness operation. He added that they have a circular driveway at their present facility and find it works very well. The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council, either for or against the application; there being no response, declared the hearing closed. In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Roberts advised that at the time the Applicant had requested permission to convert the other property to commercial use the circular driveway was in existence, and the City Planning Commission had recommended its continued use be denied and access rights dedi- cated; however, the City Counc 51 had granted permission to continue its use. City Engineer James Maddox stated that Lincoln Avenue, in this area, has a continuous left -turn pocket; also, when the street is widened, which is expected to be soon, there will be no parking lane, and thus it was his recom- mendation no access points be allowed, since it could create traffic hazards. He added that there presently is parking available in the rear of these lots, via an alley, and that approving these access points could set a precedent for future similar requests. mime m NO. 72R-118: Councilman Thom offered Resolution No. 72R-118 for adbption, authorizing the preparation of necessary ordinance changing the zone as requested, subject to the conditions recommended by the City Planning Com- mission.

Morris, Chairman of the Comity Redevelopment Commission, noted the draft of the Commission policies previously submitted to the Council for considera- tion, and advised that, in his opinion, the Commission is making reason- able progress. He further noted that, because of the recent resignation of Stanley J. Pawlowski, there presently is a vacancy on the Commission. City Attorney Joseph Geisler recommended the Section on "Conduct of Meetings" be amended as follows, to allow extensions and terminations to be granted by the Commission Chairman: Conduct of Meetings: (c) It is the policy of the Community Redevelop- ment Commission that members of the public shall be permitted ten minutes in which to present evidence regarding an item under consideration at a public hearing. Extensions for good cause shown may be approved by the Chairman of the Comm sion. The Chairman of the Commission shall retain the right to terming e a presentation which is merely repetitive of pre viously offered evi nce. MOTION On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Peb- ley, Community Redevelopment Commission policies were ratified by the City Council, amended as recommended by the City Attorney. MOTION CARRIED. Commission Membership: Mfrs. Ree Burnap, President of the League of Women Voters of Anaheim-Garden Grove, urged one of the three Mexican- American Anaheim citizens recommended by their letter dated March 15, 1972, be ap- pointed to fill the vacancy on the Community Redevelopment Commission, and also that the Commission membership be increased from seven to at least eleven. 72-185 Clifford Rothrock, representing the Amanecer organization, conr rised of volunteer community groups such as the Boy Scouts of America, City School System, Anaheim Union High School District and Pacific Tele- phone Company, stated his organization concurred with the recommendations of the League of Women Voters that one of the Mexican American Anaheim citizens listed be appointed to fill the vacancy on the Community Rede- velopment Commission, and also that the Commission membership be increased to eleven members. Upon questioning, Mt. Morris stated they had no preference on who should fill the Commission vacancy, as long as the appointee was one who would actively participate, attend meetings, and be aware of the prob- lems; also, although the Commission had no recommendation, he, personally, had no objection to expanding Commission membership on that same basis. Councilman Dutton remarked that he was of the opinion a Commis- sion becomes unwieldy when its membership exceeds seven. Following Council discussion, it was decided these recommenda- tions would be taken under advisement,and decisions made at a later date.

Property. located on the east side of East Street and the south side of Bell Avenue, containing 1 R -3 zoned lot. The City Engineer recommended approval and reported that said Final Map conforms substantially with the Tentative Map previously approved; bonds have been posted and .required fees paid. The City Attorney's office reported Articles of Incorporation, By- Laws and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions proposed for the Homeowners' Association have been checked and found satisfactory. On recommendation of the City Engineer, Councilman Roth moved that Final Map, Tract No. 6824 be approved. Councilman Pebley seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. VARIAN N0. 2342 REVISED PLANS: Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted that one condition of approval of Variance No. 2302 was that development be ac- cording to plans submitted; that the Developer, S S Development Company, has requested permission to add plans for two additional models to their originally- submitted plans for four homes. He added that the Planning Staff has reviewed these plans and feel they are comparable, if not superior to the original plans submitted, and thus recommend approval. He further noted the Developer has requested permission to con struct one of the originally- submitted models with a rock roof. Thomas C. Sifferman, S S Development Company, stated they would like to keep the cost of this one model down by using a beige or sand -color rock roof on not more than ten of those homes, and use them as a price lea der. He added that the difference in price between rock and shake shingle or tile is about $1,500.00. Councilman Thom noted that another developer in the area was re- quired to use either shake shingle or tile roofs, and thus he felt it should be required of all developers in the same area. In reply to a query, Mr. Sifferman was assured by the Council that if the plans for the additional two models were approved and the Developer decided not to build one of those additional models, there would be no ob- jection. On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Stephenson, the two additional house plans were approved as submitted; request to util- ize rock roofs denied. MOTION CARRIED.

(71 -72 -26 0-1) ANAHEIM CND RATE REPORT: In response to a request by Mayor Dutton on March 21, 1972, Police Chief David Michel reported on the Anaheim crime rate as compared to the National Crime Rate. He noted that the National Crime Rate over the past 10 years has risen 144 although the population has increased only 13°x. Ha stated that the problems of the rising crime rate are social and pretty much beyond control of law enforcement, although everything is being done to combat this. Chief Michel distributed a page of graphs showing the trend of Anaheim crime over the'past seven years in the major categories of Robbery, Commercial- Residence and Auto Burglary, Auto Theft and Theft over $50.00. 72-189 City Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES April 4 1972. 1:30 P.M. Referring to auto thefts, Chief Michel noted that the great amount of tourists visiting Anaheim contribute to'the auto thefts. Chief Michel stated that, although the 237 sworn personnel on the Police force today are only 2 more than in 1965-66, the total Police Depart ment personnel has increased by using a ratio of 3.2 Police Cadets for 9 sworn positions, allowing an increase of 6070 more available hours of use of these 9 sworn personnel, and also by using civilians for many staff jobs. He added that he felt the Cadet program was very effective and would be more so in the future. Chief Michel advised that there presently are 19 prospective Po- lice Officers enrolled in the Police Academy at this time and there prob- ably would be another 19 persons hired by about June 1, 1972; that, contrary to civilian personnel, it takes about 6 months to recruit, select and train sworn personnel, and then as their seniority increases their vacation time and sick leave also increases, thus taking away from the number of hours they are on the job. He stated that he felt the following programs now being used have increased efficiency and will be even more beneficial in the future: Selec- tive Enforcement Bureau, Cadet Program, School Resources Officers, Helicop- ter program and the Court Liaison program. Referring to the Federal Public Employment Program (PEP), Chief Michel stated this has proven beneficial in saving on -duty hours for offi- cers and has saved approximately $80,000.00 in overtime expense over the past 12 months. Chief Michel advised that the greatest crime problem, both local and national,- is increased burglary, particularly daytime burglaries, and in the next few months Anaheim will announce a new program called "Your Brother's Keeper," aimed at combatting this, which will include attempting to get citizens to report suspicious acts or incidents in their neighbor- hoods, and inspection of property where requested. He stated that the first phase of this program will be initiated this week, where adults and juveniles will be checked on a concentrated basis near junior high and high schools. Chief Michel reported that other programs expected to be initiated in the future to free the time of sworn personnel are reporting non- emergency crimes at the front counter rather than having officers go out in the field to get the information, and a reserve program that soon will be presented to the City Council for consideration; also, the PEP program will provide 16 additional sworn officers by approximately June 1, 1972. Councilman Dutton, referring to his original request for sugges- tions on how the City Council could help combat the rising crime rate, asked if the answer was additional personnel. Chief Michel stated that the greatest benefit would be continued Support of their programs; that, although additional personnel would be very beneficial, he realized there may not be funds available for this. Councilman Pebley suggested one of the biggest problems could be the courts do not impose stiff enough sentences for residential burglaries. In reply to Councilman Roth, Chief Michel advised that he had not formally requested any additional sworn personnel; that probably all of the satisfactory people now in the Department under the PEP program will be re- tained after the program is completed since the attrition rate in this type of job is quite high; that Anaheim's pay scale and benefits program ranks among the best in the County and probably the nation. Councilman Thom requested a corollary between percentages and dol- lar volume involved in the graphs presented. Chief Michel advised that this type of information as it relates to the Helicopter program will be included in their report on this program in June. 72-190 City Hall, Anaheim. California COUNCIL MMTES April 4. 1972, 1:30 P.M. In reply to questions on the Ride -Along program, Chief Michel ad- vised he felt the entire Ride -Along program indirectly may have a deterrent effect on crime since it is intended to improve understanding by citizens, specifically the youth; however, the program proposed at one time to allow police wives to ride -along probably would not have had any effect on the crime rate. Chief Michel reported on the incidence of crimes against persons and the fact that Anaheim's rate is increasing faster than the national av- erage; however, these rates are based on population figures which do not take into account the 12 million visitors to Anaheim each year, who number among both the criminals and the victims. Councilman Stephenson commented that he was pleased to note that the Police Force and the number of patrol cars will be increased, since he felt this was necessary to fight the rising crime incidence. The City Manager reminded the Council that the 16 additional of- ficers to be employed under the PEP program would necessarily be terminated if the program is discontinued unless an equivalent amount of money can be budgeted to pay the salaries to retain them. TXPANDP WIlfARY SERVICES: As a follow -up on the March 21, 1972, request pre sented by Jim Allee, Associated Student Body President and officers of the Loara High School Senior Class, for expanded library services, Mr. Allee re- ported that at a cabinet meeting held this date the Administrators from the Anaheim Union High School District were invited to present their views on the proposal. The City Clerk submitted additional correspondence received on the subject. Referring to a report previously supplied to the Council on the estimated cost of constructing the two proposed branch libraries on Euclid and Sunkist Streets, the City Manager called attention to the fact that these estimates were made hastily and cannot be considered precise; however, it would cost approximately $35.00 per square foot, and the total price then would depend on the plans. In reply to Councilman Thom, Mr. A4urdoch stated he did not feel a program of constructing these branch libraries on a pay -as- you -go basis would be feasible for at least a year or two or more, since the preliminary budget requests for the next fiscal year already exceed projected revenues by several million dollars. He added that land for libraries usually could be acquired on a pay -as- you -go basis, but not the major expenditures for construction, which are usually financed on a long -term basis such as via bond issues. Mayor Dutton invited the Chairman of the Library Board to address the Council. Mrs. Elizabeth Schultz referred to her letter dated March 30, 1970, setting forth the views of the Library Board on this issue; and emphasized the fact that they preferred to construct the proposed libraries on a basis other than a bond issue. She noted a Southern California town of less population than Ana- heim that offers much more in the way of library facilities, and had just completed one at a cost of $20.00 per square foot.. Mrs. Schultz advised that the Library Board would like to meet with the Council on this issue, prior to any decision being made, to which the Council agreed and stated the issue will be taken under further advisement. The City Manager requested Mrs. Schultz obtain the name of the architect in connection with the branch library constructed for $20.00 per square foot. 72 -191 Citv Hall. Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINDS April 4. 1972. 1 :30 P.M. ANAHZJM. LTION um SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF WUSTEES COMMUNITY CENTERS AND CONVINTION CENTER EXPANSION: The City Manager announced that the Anaheim Union High School District Board of Trustees has invited Council members to attend their 7:30 P.M. meeting, April 6, 1972,.in the Board Library Room, 2360 West La Palma Avenue, at which time they will discuss the Community Center Propo- sal of the Anaheim Youth Council. Mayor Dutton indicated he would attend. Mr. Murdoch further noted that the Anaheim Union High School Dist- rict Board has suggested another joint meeting, in the not too distant fu- ture, with the City Council and the Community Center Authority, to discuss the status of the Convention Center expansion, particularly the subject of property negotiations therefor. FEDERAL FUNDS INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL FACILITIES Mr. Murdoch noted corres- pondence from David Baker, Second District Supervisor, indicating that inas- much as Orange County unemployment exceeds 6% the Department of Commerce will declare Orange County eligible to participate in Title I Programs of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1955, which makes funds available for public facilities that tend to improve opportunities for suc- cessful establishment or expansion of industrial or commercial plants, and Supervisor Baker has asked if Anaheim is interested in such a program. Mr. Murdoch advised that a quick check showed such funds would be useful for many projects presently held off because of lack of funds, such as encouraging tourist industry, the proposed Anaheim Beach Project, for overpasses and other accesses, improvement or development of the 20 -acre parcel on the south side of Orangewood Avenue which was purchased at the same time as the Stadium property and is an industrial area, construction of railroad spurs or sub-lines, water and sewer systems, and flood control. Mr. Murdoch recommended the City Council indicate a favorable at- titude in this matter, to which the Council agreed. FIRNWORKS DISPLAY PERMIT CHURCH. OF THE LATTER DAY SAINTS) Application filed by California Fireworks Display Company, for permit to allow public fireworks display April 14, 1972, in the parking lot area off 440 North Loara Street, Anaheim Stake Latter Day Saints Church, was submitted and granted as reques- ted, subject to providing a fire watch be stationed along the 600 block of North Lancer, west of the schoolground, as these homes have wood shingle roofs, as recommended by the Fire Marshal, on motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Stephenson.

ApARM HILLS GOLF COURSE EXPENDITURES: Councilman requested of the amount shown as transfer in the February 29, 1972, Revenue Summary, and asked if this amount represented the accumulative expenditures to date. Mr. Murdoch, not having the document before him, replied that he would check and advise him. DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM REPORT: Regarding the Staff report on the Data Processing Department, relative to the Ernst and Ernst report, Councilman Thom felt said report only recapped the Ernst and Ernst report which has been available since March. He noted a difference between the two reports as they relate to charges to other users. 72 -192 City Hall, Anaheim. California COUNCIL MINUTES April 4. 1972. 1:30 P.M. Mk. Murdoch reported that charges to other users was implemented at the beginning of this fiscal year; however, charges for internal departments have not been completed. Councilman Thom stated he understood the original agreement with Ernst and Ernst included submission of progress reports on improving the data processing system, and he noted that no such reports have been received. The City Manager advised it was his understanding the original agree- ment makes recommendations and provides for progress reports if requested by the City of Anaheim,which would be at an additional charge of $40.00 per hour. The Assistant City Manager stated the recent progress report by the Data Processing Department was in response to the request by Councilman Thom, and it was their understanding it was to be on what has been accomplished, or a status report. He further advised that Ernst and Ernst has been called to assist in the utility billing operation on a consultant basis. Councilman Thom, in reviewing the situation, felt the agreement with Ernst and Ernst was to recommend changes for greater efficiency in the Data Pro- cessing Department and to oversee the implementation of the recommendations, step -by -step, to see they were in chronological order and done effectively prior to the end of this fiscal year. He stated Ernst and Ernst are not over- seeing the implementation of these recommendations because they have not been requested to. Councilman Thom stated that this was what he specifically asked for January 25, 1972. Mr. Murdoch advised that the recommendations of Ernst and Ernst were very specific and, in his opinion, would not require overseeing. He suggested the Ernst and Ernst report and Staff report be reviewed with Councilman Thom to determine if there were any deficiencies where Ernst and Ernst might be help- ful. At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Thom again requested that a progress report be obtained from Ernst and Ernst. It was the general consensus of the other four Councilmen that such a report was not necessary at this time. COUNCIL C TDIDATE NIGHT: Mayor Dutton commented that he was disturbed by the lack of information and vast amount of misinformation about City affairs shown by the new City Council candidates at the Candidates' Night Forum, sponsored by the Anaheim-Garden Grove League of Women Voters and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce the previous evening, particularly regarding the Anaheim Hills Golf Course and the Stadium and Convention Center. He noted that one candidate, who is a City Planning Commissioner, gave a strong inference that the City is not using the Park and Recreation fees col- lected for the purposes intended. He reminded Councilman Thom that he had stated he would inform the Council from which department he had obtained some misinformation he had quoted on the Golf Course. ADJOURNMENT Councilman Stephenson moved to adjourn. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Adjourned: 4 :50 P.M. Signed City Clerk
