PRESENT: ABSENT: PRESENT: COUNCILMEN: Clark, Stephenson, Pebley (entered 8:30 A.M.), Thom and Dutton COUNCILMEN: None CITY MANAGER: Keith A. Murdoch ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER: Robert M. Davis ASSISTANT CITY ATTCTNEY: Alan Watts CITY CLERK: Dens M, Williams DIRECTOR OF FINANCE: Douglas Ogden Mayor Dutton called the meeting to order. INTRODUCTION OF NEW EMPLOYEES: L~e Sale, of the City Personnel Department, introduced new employees attending the Council meeting as part of the City's orientation program. Mayor' Dutton welcomed the new employees to the City Family. REVIEW OF CITY FINANCIAL CONDITIONS - CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS: City Manager Keith Murdoch reported that although $5,670,000.00 had been set aside in the 1970-71 Budget for capital outlays, that amount will not permit continued, aggressive, tzmely activity in capital improvements for future development. Mr,. Murdoch presented a Summary of Capital Outlay Requests for Fzscal Years 1970-71 through 1975-76, 'pointing out that the list of re- quirements is not complete, but it includes those items deemed by Depart- meat Heads and Citizens Committees to be highly important to the develop- ment of the City; he also noted the 1975-76 "Incomplete" label, stating the items shown in that category are merely some suggestions for that year. Mr. Murdoch noted a gradual reduction indicated in .payments on outstanding debts in the next four years, and an expected gradual increase in a~sessed valuation creates the assumption a lesser portion of the tax rate will be required for capital improvements if the present level of development ts maintained; however, if care is not exercised, any such monies would be used in day-to-.day operations and not for future develop- ment which, he felt, could be a mistake. Mr. Murdocn cited the fact that the figures shown on the sum- mary sheet and the Budget deficiencies listed in an August 31, 1970 memc from the Director of Finance do not take into account the expected con- tinuation of an inflationary trend. Hr, ldurdoch advised the de£tciency indicated for expected require- ment.s for Fiscal Year1971-72 amount of $5,000,000,00 and a substantia! amount in new sources of rewenue would be necessary to meet~thatde£iciency~: Mr. Murdoch noted the major types of new revenue sources pre- vio~sly discussed were an approximately 10% admission tax, which could produce an estimated $3,000,000,00 per year~ and a utility tax, which could produca about $2,000,000.00 per year, Mr. Mardoch pointed out uhe expected Fiscal Year 1972-73 defi- ciency of $9,600,000.00 was almost double that of 1971-72~ even without taking :he znflation spiral into consideration, and that the 1973-74 pro- Jetted deficiency of $7,000,000.00 still would exceed the revenues expec- ted to De possivle from the two major sources of admission and utility taxes,. However, ir was considered :hat Fiscal Year 1974-75 deficiency could be met by such additional, sources of revenue. Mr. Murdoch referred to remarks by Director of Finance Douglas Ogden tn his September 1, 1970 memo on the financial condition of the City of Anaheim, in which he contended Anaheim currently is in a sound financial condition because the City maZntains a balanced Budget, Ana- neim:s economy continues to grow because of tourism (despite aerospace 70-429 C.tty Hall, Anaheim, California- COUlqOIL MII~S- September 1, 1970, 8:00 A~M. industry cutbacks), and that the City has been able to expand or contract its programs when necessary to meet growth or recession; however, in the past few years, funds earmarked for investment in capital outlay have had to be put into current operating costs to maintain this balanced budget. Mr. Murdoch further referenced Mr. Ogdents memo in stating that as of June 30, 1970, Anaheim had an unappropriated General and Capital Outlay Fund balance of approximately $2,500,000.00; however, $218,000.00 of that was required to balance the operating budget~ ' . ; He added that preliminary State figures indicated a population of 171,100 for Anaheim, but the preliminary Federal Census figures 164,913, which l~sser figure would reduce expected population revenues by approximately $95,000.00, whereas increased assessed valuation from County of Orange would result in an additional property tax income of approximately $395,000.00. Mr. Murdoch pointed out, however, that no provision has yet been made for employees' salary adjustments usually occurring in October, which would off- set any gain resulting from anticipated increased property tax revenue. Mr. Murdoch summarized the memo from Hr. Ogden by stating that after all present sources of revenue were taken into consideration there still would be an additional requirement of about $5,000,000.00 per year to meet the needs indicated by the Summary of Capital Outlay Requests for Fiscal Years 1970-71 through 1975-76, which leaves three choices of action: 1. Do nothing, which would result in not providing capital im- provements to the standards maintained in the past, and the corresponding reduction in outstanding debt. 2. Provide additional monies through new or higher taxes to be used for capital outlay purposes. 3. Use long-term financing to acquire and construct necessary 6apital items so that future reduction in existing debt requirements could be coordinated with additional debt payments. Hr. Murdoch added that operating costs must be held to the minimum required to carry out the obligations of operation of the City. Councilman Clark asked if the indicated capital improvement require- ments adequately could be met by addption-.of new revenue sources which would result in an additional $5,000,000.00 per year. Mr. F~rdoch advised the projected 1971-72 requirements could be met by such additional funds of $5,000,000.00, but this amount would not meet the requirements for Fiscal Years 1972-73 and 1973-74, and also that an inflationary increase of approximately 10% to 14% would have to be con- sidered. In answer to Councilman Stephenson's query on the difference be- tween the projected $5,670,000.00 capital outlay indicated for fiscal.year 1970-71 and the total of $5,306,530.00 shown on the summary sheet, Hr. Mur- doch advised the balance was made up of items deemed too small to be consid- ered individually. Councilman pebley entered the Council Chambers, (8:30 A.M.). LIBRARY - BRANCHES: Mr. Murdoch stated that although Library sites 2, 3, and "A" all were on the last two defeated bond issues, very probably library expan- sion, specifically branches 2 and 3, would be dependent upon a successful bond issue, and if such an issue were successful in a year it was felt pay- ment on the resulting bonds could begin as early as Fiscal Year 1972-73. Mr. Murdoch pointed out that probable bond issues were marked as such on the Summary Sheet, and those .items markedwith a "B" would'.:bepo.ss"ible within the next five year's only if'the voters approved the pertinent bond issues. 70-430 -City .Iisi'l, A~'ah~im, Californ%a-~ C~IL HI. NUTES - September 1, 1970. 8:~O.A,.M. LIB]ARY'.- BOOK~DBILE: Mr. Murdoch advised 'the Library BOard had suggest6d re- instating the old Bookmobile for use in those areas not now serviced by branch libraries. Mr. Ogden informed the Council that the $20,000.00 fisure shown for.this item for this fiscal year was for stocking and refurbishing the old Bookmobile. Mr. Murdoch stated the old Bookmobile had been used by the Po- lice Department for riot-type ~quipment in the recent situation at Disney- land, and that the Police Department had requested the vehicle be trans- ferred to their department if it is not reinstated as a Bookmobile. Councilman Stephenson stated he' felt the voters, by defeating the Library Bond issue, had expressed the opinion they did not want addi- tional library service; thus he questioned the advisability of spending $20,000~00 on the old Bookmobile to provide additional library service. Councilman Pebley concurred. Library Director William Griffith advised the Library Board had submitted the proposal,both at the time of budget discussion and in their re~e~t year-end report, that the old Bookmobile, in view of the defeat of the Library Bond issue, be put back into service. Councilman Clark stated he felt the defeat of the bond issue wae-a general turndown of indebtedness, not library service, and the heavy use of the present Bookmobile indicated the need for reinstating the old Bookmobile if it can be done within the regular budget. Councilman' Dutton expressed the opinion that if the public,in the last municipal election, had been informed that passage of the Electric Revenue Bonds would have ze~ulted.iu' no, increase, in taxes,, the resuits'misht have been different, amd. world, have ~ccOmplilhed necessary, capital improve- me~l~svithout any new sources of revenue or increase in taxes. Mr. ~l~rdoch stated.,he, felt the increased use of the Library ser- -v~ces and the Bool~nobile now in'°peration is an indication there is a need for additional service of some kind, and the present Bookmobile could not adequately service all areas not presently serviced by a branch library. Mr. lt~rdoch stated he felt the City Council and the City Staff have an'obligation to foresee needs of the City without waiting until a si~uation deteriorates to the point the public complains. Councilman Dutton expressed the opinion the ~esponsibility of the Council and City Government ~as to provide the finest service possible within the ability of the taxpayers to pay for it. CounCilman Pebley noted the library facilities at Sunkist School andasked about the probability of expanding the facilities in that exist- lng library, rather than reinstate the old Bookmobile. Mr. Griffith advised the Sunkist School library was part of the Elementary and Hash School library programs. Councilman Pebley stated he ~ould rather have the City put money into expanding school libraries for the use of children than erect addi- tional branch libraries, since the Main Library could handle the needs of adultS. Councilman Stephenson stated he could not support giving the money:to school districts, since he felt their sources of revenue were adequate for their library needs. 70-431 City Hal. l, An~ahei~n, Cali.fprnta- COUNCIL ~INDT~.S, September 1, 1970, 8;00 A.M. In an~wmr t~ .CQuncilman Thorn's question on what formula was used by other cities to determine the library service iff proportion to population, Mr. Griffith advised the two earlier Citizens Committee reports indicated a need for a library facility for each 50,000 population, and added that Anaheim was below the rest of Southern California, since Orange has a main library and one branch, Pasadena has seven or eight branches, Long Beach has 10 branches, Santa Aha has a main and a branch library under constructiOn, while Anaheim only has a Hain Library and one branch. In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. ~urdoch advised that Anaheim presently omls two sites for possible future branch libraries, one west of the Santa Aha River in eastern Anaheim, and the other in the south'central area; a third site is proposed for the Santa Aha Canyon area, but no property has yet been purchased for that purpose. }ir. Hurdoch sugg~it~dT-afl~. :dedision oh'.reinstating .the "old B.o:o~mobile or future branch libraries be made after the scheduled joint meeting with the Library Board on September 15, 1970. He further stated that t.f'.racO~mendattons of Citizens Committees are not going to be considered as an indication o'f.'~the community' s desires, such".coezatttees m~T..'b~,~:of no assistance. Councilman Clark said he felt the defeat of the Library Bond issue did not necessarily indicate the citizens of Anaheim did not want the Book- mobile refurbished. Councilman Stephenson stated he felt $20,000.00 for refurbishing the old Bookmobile was not an absolute necessity at this time and could be omitted. Councilman Dutton said he felt perhaps the Bookmobile mikht be needed at this time, but agreed a decision should be deferred until after the meeting ~ith the Library Board. CITY HAI~L: Mr. Nurdoch advised the new City Hall, listed under Fiscal Year 1971- 72 was indicated .due ~oi~.~.r~sho~nb~-the Council, and. as., ~-~ossib,flity 6n.ly th~ough.~'a~Geneeal .Obt,t~a~i~n'-~v$~su~..in~hi~h~case payments om bon~.-i~U~.~oba~l~could begin in the 1972-73 Fiscal Year, Mr. ~urdoch advised the only way the City Hall item coUld be con- sidered a part of the 1970-71 Budget would be through leasing additional space, which was not anticipated at thi~ time except in a very minor way. I~AND ACOUISI~ION - WAREhousE NO. ~; Mr. ~urdoch advised the need for.!acquisition of ldfid~:for, an.addttiOna$:.~.wakehouse ofi'ehe'!east'side of toum is based on the premise the majority of fUture construction and activity viii be in the Santa Ana Canyon area, ~hus making it economically 'se~Se~. to have a warehouse in that area, rather than'trying to do everything out of the present warehouse, In answer to Mr. tlirdoch's question on whether lack of sufficient warehouse space is a major problem, Mr. Ogden replied it was anticipated such a building and site could be u~ed as a focal point out of ~hich crews and equipment could york, eliminating the necessity of paying for travel time from the Vermont Avenue Warehouse. Councilman Pebley asked ~hat would be done with the property 'now owned by the City on South Street, and suggested perhaps that five acres of land could be sold to purchase land on the east side of to~n for a warehouse. Hr. Nurdoch advisd8 the South Street property would become a part of the maintenance complex between Vermont Avenue and South Street, would house the majority of maintenance vehicles, and would be a central point for maintenance crews; the additional warehouse site would be used as neededwhen work was being done in that general area. Mr. Ogden suggested this proposed additional site possibly could be used as a park site when no longer needed for a warehouse. 70-432 F tit¥ Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL NINUTES - Septembe~ 1, 1970, 8:00 A.M. Councilman Pebley asked if property originally-intended for park site in this area had been purchased.by the City. Mr. Murdoch advised the City now has a Fire Station and an area leased for a Christmas tree farm on property-purchased in the Santa Ana Canyon, intended for a future park site, and agreed this land could'be used for warehouse activity, thus eliminating the projected $75,000.00 ' from the Fiscal Year 1971-72 requirement for land acquisition for Warehouse No. 2. PURCHASINGDEpA~TM~NT - SPACE REOI~I~ENT:. Mr. Murdoch advised the funds indi- cated for additional Purchasing Department space possibly would be needed for moving Duplicating operations to a location adjacent to or in the City Hall, and then remodeling the vacated duplicatiflg facility for expansion of Purchasing Department. He added that the location-of the Duplicating shop is a part of the space study currently being studied. Mr. Murdoch stated-there was a question as to whether the $20,000.00 indicated fo~ this purpose would be needed in the 1970-71 Fiscal Year, rather than 1971-72, as indicated on the summary sheet, and suggested this item be deferred at this time. PA~ AND RECREATION - TENNIS COU~S AND OUTDOOR THEATRE: Mr. Murdoch advised the tennis courts in question presently are under construction in the Nohl Ranch area, and the funds for the outdoor theatre are' for seating and re- furbishing of the Greek Theatre in Pearson Park. He further advised that, although these items are listed in the 1970-71 Budget, funds actually were to come from thosebbUdge~ed last year for Manzanita Park; however, in the transfer of funds from ~½e Manzanita Park project the money was put into the Unappropriated Fund, rather than the fund for these improvements, thus making it necessary to show these figures in this year's Capital. Improve- ment Budget. PARKS AND R~CR~ATION - HORACE ~ C01~JNITY CULTU]L~ ARTS ¢~ITER: Mr; Hurdoch reiterated the requdst 'of the CultUral Arts Commission for an'indication from the Council on what amount of funds possibly could be forthcoming for refurbishing Horace Mann School for a Community Cultural Arts Center and what could be anticipated in the way of maintenance in the event the Horace Mann School is obtained for that purpose. Mr. Murdoch advised the $100,000.00 listed under Fiscal-Year 1970-71 is the amount considered necessary by the Property Maintenance Department to bring the school building t~ operational condition; however, he added, it would cost an additional $150,000.00 if the building were to meet requirements of the Field Act for use as a public school; There would be an estimated $25',000.00 and perhaps more for annual maintenance and op- eration. Mr. Murdoch advised that the majority of this $100,000.00 would be necessary for heating and air-conditioning facilities and enumerated the additional work required to refurbish the building. In reply to Councilman Dutton's inquiry as to what could be ex- pected in the way of assistance from outside organizations in refurbishing of Horace Mann School for a Community Cultural Arts Center, Mi". Murdoch advised three organizations had indicated a willingness to contribute small amounts of money, and several organizations had indicated a desire to as- sist via work parties, etc. Mr. Murdoch reminded the Council that a part of the Cultural Arts Commission's request was an indication of what por- tion of the operation and maintenance costs the City Council would be will- ing to assume for the Co--,.anity Cultural Arts Center in the event the Hor- ace Mann School is obtained for that purpose; however, he added, although these questions have to be answered before the Cultural Arts Commission can go any further with the project, a decision was not required at this meeting. 70-433 C:itv I~all. ~ahei~q,~. .. Califor~!.ta - COUNCIL MINUT~:$ - gepte,m, her 1, 1970, 8:00 A.M.. Discussion was held on funds necessary to maintain park facilities and Hr. Nurdoch advised most Park and Recreation adult activities are self- supporting, and that funds are derived from in lieu fees, ~ich he suggested, the Council may wish to consider increasing. Councilman Pebley asked if it would be possible to spread this $100,000,00 cost out in amounts of $20,000.00 per year, or if this was not feasible, could h.a~ of the indicated required ~ork be done under the 1970- 71 Budget and the other half under the 1971-72 Budget. Hr. Nurdoch.advised he thought it should be possible to spread this cost over tvo fiscal yearS; however, he felt the 1970'71 portion probably could amount to a little more than half the total amount. Mr. Murdoch asked the Council if they felt the City of Anaheim should accept total responsibility for refurbishing this building out of the General Fund, or if it should be done on a contribution basis or on a split basis. In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Fairdoch advised Pasadena and Los Angeles have financed their Cultural Arts activities through City General Funds. Mr. ~urdoch stated the operational costs of the proposed Co~nunity Cultural Arts Center'are estimated to be $25,000.00 per year; however, he added, he was uncertain that that amount would be adequate. Councilman Dutton asked to what extent contributions of painting would reduce the $100,000.00 deemed necessary for reconditioning the build- ing. Mr. Nurdoch advised painting of the interior and exterior was.es- timated at $10,500.00', but he felt the City would prefer to do the exterior painting itself. Hr. l~rdOch stated he felt contributions from organizations might be such items ad drapes, carpets, possibly cabinetry, and some inter- ior painting vhich, at most, could amount to about $20,000.00. Councilman PebleY recommended re~urbishin$ of the Horace l/ann School as a C_o~m,~nity Cultural Arts Center be approved at the $100,000.00 figure in- dicated. Councilman Stephenson indicated his agreement. Councilman Clark agreed it was a good lOcation for a Community Cultural Arts Center. Hr. Hurdoch suggested investigation be made to determine if these required funds could be fitted into the 1970-71 and 1971-72 Budget alloca- tions. PA~KS AND RECREATION - YOUTH CENTERS: Although the Summary Sheet showed no as yet for Youth Centers activities, Mr. ~urdoch advised this item was brought up by the Anaheim Youth Council, ~ho presently is werking primarily with P~kiand [ecreation Department and Anaheim Union High School District in an effort to set up Youth Centers. Mr. Hurdoch suggested the Council may wish to confer further wi~b the Anaheim Youth Council before discussing this subject. Councilman Stephenson mentioned perhaps the proposed Community Cul- tural Arts Center also could be flsed as a Youth Center, and Councilmam Pebley suggested the auditorium of that building might be suitahle for practice for the [ingsmen Drum and Bugle Corps. Nr. Nurdoch stated the Kingsmen Drum and Bugle Corps required a marching field for practice and commented that perhaps Youth activities and Cultural Arts activities would not be compatible. 70-434 City Hall. Anaheim. Califo.~ia- COUNCXL HZNU~ES- Septe,mber. 1,_ 1970, 8:00 A.M Mr. ~rdoch stated the prosr~ has not yet progressed to the point ~ere the ~e~m Youth Council ~s ready to m~ke a'proposal, bu~ their preliminary ~nd~catLons are they would l~ke a ~entef' similar to' the La Palms Park buildLns, He advised ~t was uncertain ~ether the ~a- helm Youth Council ~ht request initial funds ~rom ~he ~City that be re~ursed throUsh activities, or ~f funds would be provided by the ~eLm REsh School S~udent Activity Fund.

He advised ~he $20,000.00 ~equire- ment indicated for 1970-71 Fisca~ Year fo~ the ~ni'B~ke ~d ~torcycle Park~ based on the premise that ~his would be a .]oin~ project.between. ~he City of ~aheim an~ Oran8e County, ~r,..~e' ~nd&~~Y.'of ~n ~s' wi~hdra~ ~heir proposal Co consCruc~ a park on'the dump si~e, ~d now indicated Che~ would construct a facility in con]unc~iOn with Saddle- back Park. In reply ~o Councilman Stephenson~s su~estion thaC since the dump site already is beins used as an area for ~hese ac~iViCies, perhaps no action is necessary, ~. ~rdoch sCa~ed there'is a responsibili~y ~o i~rove ~he area ~o insure ~he safety of' bike riders'.' Mr. Murdoch advised the figures listed evolved out of a prelimi- nary plan discussed prior to the Honda Company's proposal and were based on the premise that Anaheim would lease from Orange County that portion of the proposed Mini-Bike and Motorcycle Park not already owned by Anaheim, and then would sublease it to a concessionnaire. Mr. Collier .e~plained that there were i7 acres in the dump site which are proposed to be used for Mini-Bikes, and also 10 acres of land a little farther east and beyo~ the railroad tracks, now owned by the Slate Highway Department, which has been offered to Anaheim on a $1.00 per year lease basis for u~e by larger trail-bikes. Mr~ COllier further advised' the Orange County Water District has been attempting' to purchase this i0' acres of land from the State Highway Department. '" Mr. Collier stated some discussions have been held with prospec- tive conceSsionn&ires, however, there is a possessory tax problem that must be solved before anythir~ can be finalized, and also Anaheim would'have tO be involved somewhat in the overall supervision of the park end,share in responsibility. Mr. Collier advised that, although the County heretofore has not made contributions for any conmm~ity facilities, the Board of Super~ Visors has agreed to provide funds up to $14,000.00 to bring water to the area to keep the dust down, and also for fencing the entire area from the River, He fUrther advised that procuring'a concessionnaire for this ven- ture could result in Anaheim's share of expenses being less than $20,000.00, since a concessionnaire possibly would provide his own building. In answer to Councilman Pebley's. inquiry, Mr.':Collier' advised '' the City of Anaheim would have liability resPonsibility in Such a venture; however, he added, the City Attorney.had expressed the °pin[°n present insurance coverage would suffice. Mr. Collier stated further that present projections indicate such a park would pay foe itself through gate and concessionnaire receipts. Councilmen Pebley, Stephenson and Thom expressed a desire to go ahead with the proposed Mini-Bike and Motorcycle Park project, .as Presented. PARKS AND RECREATION - PARIiLA~DA¢~UiSITIONAND DEVELQPMENT: Mr. MurdoCh ad- vised that, although a bond issue for acceleration of park development and acquisition of land for park sites had been defeated in the last itwo elections, the City has been able to use General Funds to continue with the d~sired land acquisition program; however, due to the inflationary squeeze, funds no longer will be available to keep up the program. 70- 435 C~ty Hall, An. ~hei~, California - COUNCIL, MINUTES ' September 1,. 1970, 8:00 A.M. Councilman Pebley suggested in lieu park fees be increased to help provide the needed funds, and expressed the opinion that land for parks should be acquired as an area develops to take advantage of the lower cost of the available land. He further stated he believed land in the Santa Ana Canyon area should be procured as soon as possible, since values increase each year; however, development of that land could be delayed until such time as vhters would approve a bond issue. Mr. Murdoch indicated agreement with Councilman Pebley's suggested procedure and stated the listed $450,000.00 for Fiscal Year 1970-71, and $872,4p0,'00 for Fiscal Years 1971-72 through 1975-76 may not be adequate to meet the desired Park site acquisitions. Councilman Pebley stated he believed in lieu fees from builders in a specific area should be earmarked for park development in that area only; and when Mr. Ogden advised the City had obtained $221,000.00 in in lieu fees during Fiscal Year 1969-70, ventured the opinion 10 acres of land should have been purchased with that amount of money. Mr. Murdoch stated land on the west side of the Santa Ana River no longer is available at $20,000.00 an acre, and that additional land still is necessary for Reid Park and four other park locations, whereupon Councilman Pebley suggested perhaps the City's park sites may be planned o~t0o::!arge an acreage. In answer to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Collier advised there pres- ently are 11 undeveloped park sites owned by the City. Councilman Clark asked if Featherly Park eventually would be a part of Anaheim. Mr. ~rdoch advised this possibility had been indicated; however, Featherly Park, as a regional park, would be more a camping facility than a co.~;~,nity park and added he believed the City was obligated to provide neigh- borhood parks which generally afl located adjacent to elementary schools. Mr. Murdoch said a lO-acre par~ site is considered average. Councilman Stephenson expressed the opinion City Parks should be so designated by appropriate signs. Mr, ~hrdoch advised this procedure had been discontinued for economic reasons. Mr. Collier stated there was substantial expense involved .in insuring signs a~e':strong enough to withstandvandalism, and that Magnolia Park suffers approximately $1,000.00 in damages each month, whereupon Councilman Stephenson suggested a park may not be necessary, if it is subjected to such extreme van- dalism. Hr. Murdoch stated he'believed it was the responsibility of the City to provide appropriate parks for its citizens and indicated present and pro- posed park locations on a General Plan map on the east wall of the Council Chmabers. Hr. Murdoch advised a Citizens Co~ni~tee had recommended land be purchased at Harbor Boulevard and Ball Road for~future park site, Councilman Pebley stated in almost every area indicated by Mr. doth for additional acquisition of park land, voters had said they did not want parkexpansions, anctLh~eesmem/id~, f~elte~,~6e.fund~ be ~se~:¢o~u~hase Mr. Mmrdoch stated it has usually been true that voters in, areas where parks now exist will not vo~e for additional parks. Councilman Dutton asked what had been planned for the $450,000.00 listed for park land acquisition during Fiscal Year 1970-71. Mr. Murdoch advised the funds have not been earmarked for specific locations, but would be used to purchase property in any area proposed for expansion or development, as land became available. 70-436 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Septembe~r' ~, _1970~ 8:00 A~M. In answer to ~buncilman Ste'phenson's question as to how many park Sites are anticipated for the eastern areas of Anaheim, Mr.MUrdoch advised somewhat larger park facilities have been proposed in relatively fla[ areas along'"the River, plus bridle parks in ~he hills and canyons. In answer to Councilman Stephensonis question as tO 'whether it was advisable to procure additional park sites, despite the indicationS' to the contrary by the voters, Mr. Murdoch stated it was 'hi~ c'0aviCti~n the voters were vetoing expansion of the park program but he believed it was necessary to continue development at 'or below the present level and that available land should bepurchased as an area devel0Ps. He further added'.that half,of the Ps,its Bo9d.-:propoSal was for acquisition, and half for development, and he believed a b~nd issue on such a 'program on 'a long- term basis is very desirable. He kdded he believed the votin$ public eas- ily could be swayed against an issue because of their 1'ack of knowledge a~out operation of their co~nunity. Councilman Pebley inquired about the legality of the City pur- chasing park sites as areas developed, having the developer hold a trust deed on that property, and the City pay it off over a period of years. Mr. Murdoch advised this would be possible only if 'parks had a source of funds separate from General Obligations, such as iD ~the case of the proposed golf course site on the north side of the river where there would be separ- ate source of income. ltayor Dutton asked for the Council's opinion on whether the pre- sent program ofpark site acquisition should be maintained, and' indicated his approval. Councilman Clark indicated he felt the present park program should be maintained. Councilman Stephenson declined to make a decision at this time. Councilman Pebley stated he had reservations regarding pay- inS' $50,000.00 an acre to expand existing parks when perhaps land should be acquired on the east side of the toum. Councilman Thom stated he con- curred with the vo~ers that the parks program should not be expanded, but[ he was in favor of maintaining the present program. Mr. Murdoch advised that in addition to park site acquisition, additional funds probably would be necessary for park develoPment, even 'at its present pace, since the current operating budget made no provisions for this activity. Councilman Pebley expressed the opiniOn that if all the 'park pro- perry indicated on the General plan is developed, concentra~ion now .shOUld be placed On the east side of'Anaheim. ' ' Mr. l~urdoch advised that the present acreage of Tvila Reid .'Park- does not constitute a community park. CoUncilman Stephenson stated[he WOuld nOt be in .favor of' iPaYing $250,000.00 for an additional 5 acres`. of land for 'Reid Park. In answer to Councilmen Pebley and Stephenson, Mr. ~urdoch ad- vised complaints had been received that .the Present 10 acres of Reid Park are not'yet develOped, and councilman Pebley suggested .perhaPs the desiK- hated ~unds should be spent to develop park sites already acquired. POLICE - yARD E~pANSIOH; Nr. Nurdoch adViSed expansion Of the' Poli~e Yard is- a continuing program. Councilman Clark ventured the opinion there is no question on th· police and Fire Depar~ment'programs, and suggested, the present programs be continued as is. In answer to Councilman Stephenson's inquiry on what was included in the Police Yard expansiOn, Mr. Murdoch advised it 'entailed ~°ving the fence back to make the yard larger, providing a property retention building, eXpandin$'parkin$ facilities, etc.., and added he was not certain the $478,000,00 indicated would take care of the situation fOr verylong be- cause of the cont-lna~d:Ohan~es'infthe police area. 70-437 Gity Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTgS.~-. September 1, 1970, 8:00 A.M. Councilman Stephenson stated he believed the program.should be con- tinued, whatever the cost; Councilmen Dutton and Clark agreed. POLICE - I.D. BUREAU REMODEL: Mr. Murdoch advised the I.D. Bureau remodeling is part of the expansion program. POLI~ - ttgL~COpTER PROGRAM: Mr. Murdoch advised the Helicopter Police Patrol program had been cut jUst about in half to fit into this year's Operating Budget and that additional funds would be needed to complete the program. Councilman Dutton agreed with Mr. Murdoch that the surveillance program is important. POLI~ - TV ~ONI~.ORING IN JAIL: Mr. Murdoch advised TV F~nitoring consisted of a cloSed-circuit television in the Jail and stated that he felt such a pro- gram would be desirable if it saved manpower,but that the system still re- quired monitoring by personnel. Councilman Stephenson expressed the opinion a jailer has very little to do but make rounds and he did not feel the monitoring system was necessary. POLICE - CO~[~]3NICATIONS CENTER REVISION: Mr. F~rdoch advised additional informa- tion on the proposed Communications Center revision was needed Before a de- cision could be made, but explained the concept con~isted of a Communications Center that would handle Police, Fire and Utility comm~mications, either separately or by close coordination. He stated perhaps nothing major would be done on this project until something develops with the City Hall situation, although the Pistol Range was considered a possible location for such a Com- munication Center. POLICE - PISTOL RANGE RELOCATION: Mr. Murdoch noted the $50,000.00 item intended for future relocation of the Police Pistol Range. Councilman Stephenson stated he would not be in favor of moving the .Pistol Range off the Police Department premises. Mr. M~rdoch advised there are no definite plans other than such a program should be considered in the next five years. FIRE - STATION N0. .8 RELOCATION: Mr. Murdoch advised Fire Station No. 8 on the north side of the River presently is on a temporary site which will suffice until that area increases in density; and added that relocation of Station No. 8 should be considered when the bridge is completed, which is estimated for 1971-72 Fiscal Year. ST~TIQN~ - KAST AND LAPALMA, WALNUT CANYONANDGYPSUM, WEIR qANYONAND RIVERSID~ FI~EWAY: Mr. ~rdoch advised the timing on the proposed Fire Stations East and La Palms (Fiscal Year 1972-73), Walnut Canyon and Gypsum (Fiscal Year 1974-75), and Weir Canyon and Rivermide Freeway (Fiscal Year 1975-76) could be stretched out unless growth in the areas designated should develop more rapidly than expected. FIRE.UEF.AR~M~ - ~RILL TOWER AND GROUNDS: Mr. Murdoch stated he personally was no~ confident that Anaheim needed.a Drill Tower and Grounds (scheduled for Fiscal Year I973-74) at this time; however, he hesitated to delete it en- tel/ely without further discussion with Fire Chief Stringer since it possibly cOUld be in Conjunction with a County facility. DISASTEIt S~R¥ICE~ - MANAGE,MENT COMI~NICAT~ONS NET AND MOBILE COM~1NICATIONS CENTER: Mr. Murdoch advised the proposals for a Management Communications Net and Mobile Communications Center (both scheduled for Fiscal Year 1971-72) are items found deficient in various exercises, since presently the only way to reach all Department Heads in an emergency is by individual phone calls. He further advised that, although more information is needed, he believed provisions for "beefing up" the co,~,dntcations network should be included in early plans, depending on how much the Council was willing to pay for insurance on emergency activities. 70-4.38 City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COHCIL HI~ES ' SePtember 1~ 1970, 8:00 A;H; DIS~TER SERVICES'- HEAVY RESCUE VEHICLE,;~..:' Hr. Hu~doCh advised that, although the proposed Heavy RescUe'vehiCle (Used to jack up a buildin$ or' sPread out an area to aid in rescue operations) is a desirable piece of equip- ment and should be kept in mind, he did not believe it was ti important as khe Management Con~nunications Net and Mobile Co~niCations Center, and thus, this item proposed for the 1971-72 Fiscal Year could be spread out over a longer period. : PU~,IC ~Oa~ -VE.aICLE REPLACE~h'~. Hr. 1/urdoch 'advised he believed the $50,000.00 item scheduled for vehicle replacement for Ptscal Year 1970- 71 was important and should remain as is.

Councilman clark asked whether the property on South Claudina Street, presently hOusing the Machanical Maintenance facility COuldbe sold, if these facilities were mOVed. Public Horks Director Thornton PierSall advised that the Space Study, presently under way, is considering the possibility of separating the'Street Maintenance operation from the Property Maintenance facility and moving Street Maintenance t° the South Claudina Street-property. Hr. ll/edoch asked if the proposal forPropertY Maintenance ex- pansion and construction beginning in'Fiscal Year 1971'72 might be ached- uled earlier than necessary. Hr.

' PUBLIC ~0RKS - C~/TILLY IlL, IN.: Mr. Piersall advised the $739,000.00 scheduled for Fiscal Year 1970-71 could be removed entirely, since this project was related to Orange FreeWay cohstruction and Could be financed entirely from some available storm drain bond funds and other funds budgeted in 1969-''~ 70, plus a portion of the DoUglass Street entrance' funds; however, :the Douglass Stree~ entrance then prObably WOuld have to be scheduled for Fiscal Year 1971-72, at a tentative figure of $600,000.00, PUBLIC WOK~ -. ~TORM ~gAINS: Mr. 14urdoch indicated the storm Drain iCem sched- ~uled for 1971-72 Probably would depend On a bond issue; hOwever, even in. 'the event a bond issue was not authorized, some stOrm drain activity w0uld be necessary. Hr. Piersall eBtimated $500,000.00 or $600,000.00 a year would be needed from che Capital Improvement funds if the needed monies were not secured by a bond issue. Hr. Piersall cited the State' Collese storm drain as an. exemple,' wherein the Orange CoUnty Flood Control.is financing completelY that por- tion of storm drain from Cerritos Avenue to Ball Road, and recently has indicated a request for participation-type projects, one of Which, the northerly eXtension from Ball Road to LincolnAvenue, is considered a top priority and would cost $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 a year for two years if split evenly with Flood Control. He added another participating~type project could be Lincoln Avenue. 70-439 City Hal!, Anaheim, C~lifornia COUNCIL MINUTES - September 1, 1970, 8:00 A.M. On query bY }ir.

PUBLIC WORKS ~ 'SANITARY SEa,ERS: Mr. Murdoch stated the policy has been to develop Sanitary Sewers to the extent allowed by the revolving fund, which Mr. Ogden advised amounted to ~160,000.00 in Fiscal Year 1969-70; thus, unless growth occurred at a faster pace than anticipated, no additional moneys would be required out of the Capital Improvement funds. PUBLIC W.O~S - TILA_FFIC SIGNAL AND STRIPING: Mr. Piersall advised that, except for those projects that may not be covered, because'of such:~Sthe:~ssug~fp~estr~an,c~rosgtugS'..~o.m~ng~b~forh.th~ Counc'~Lshortly~.. t~afffC'.s-i~'ng~"and~ s~rip~ng'.,outlays are met by gas tax funds.

Councilman Stephenson left the Council Chambers, (11:30 A.M.). In answer Co Councilman Clark, Mr. Piersall advised that wherever possible, projects are done in conjunction with the State Highway DepaeCment, through use of Gas Tax funds, such as the Brookhurst Street Overpass, where Anaheim's cost will be about $150,000.00 to $200,000.00, and the State's cost will be $1,500;O00.00 to $2,000,000.00, and also-through the Arterial Highway Financing program of Orange County.

Weiss, Jr., for' permission to erect a non-conforming sign (smaller in size) at 809 South Euclid Street, replacing larger, non-conforming sign which was damaged as a result of an automobile accident, was deferred from the meeting held August 25, 1970, to allow the Petitioner an opportunity to appear and further explain 70- 446 City Hall, ,Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES -'September 1, 1970~ i:30.~.P.M reference made in his letter relative to "political pressure exerted," in thismatter. ' Mr. Weiss advised that the reference to political pressure in no way applied to any City official or employee, but to a local business- man who, he understood, threatened a lawsuit against the City should the smaller sign be approwed. Mr. Geisler advised that the Development Services Division checked with his office to determine the right to erect said sign and said they were advised that once a non-conforming sign was destroyed by the elements or in any other fashiOn and removed, to issue a building permit to erect another sign woold be issuing a building permit for an illegal sign, and such ac- tion must come before the City Council to determine~whether or not the ac- cident was such that repair of the sign was major and constituted recon- struction, or minor, which was in substantial conformance with the spirit of the Code provisions by reason and logic. At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Pebley moved it be the finding of the City Council that the sign was damaged at no fault of the owner, and that to erect the smaller sign in accordance with plans presented, as requested, was substantially in the spirit of the law and ~ constitutes a continuation of a legal, or non-conforming sign and is hereby approved. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. CITY OF ORANGE ZONE CHANGE NO. 590 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 482 AND VARIANCE NO.

Noble, that Sunkist Street, from Ball Road to La Palma Avenue be posted, limiting trUCk weight to 6,000 pounds was deferred for report from the City Traffic Engineer. Mr. Edward Granzow, City Traffic Engineer, reported that Sunkist Street is not a truck route within the City of Anaheim, and because of the considerable number of streets that would require the negative-type posting, only those streets that are designated truck routes are posted accordingly. Further, the area has been checked frequently, and exceptional truck use was not found to be the situation. However, during the construction of the Free- way heavy usage is anticipated. Mr,. Granzow advised that th~ information was related to Mr. Noble. Mr. Granzow reported that any truck route ordinance indicates that trucks may deviate from the nearest accepted or posted truck route to the area that they serve by the closest route, and on this basis, it would be difficult to control, as use of this street is by the normal delivery truck. The over-the-road tyPe Or long-haul trucks use the major and contiguous;truck routes through the City. . Councilman Thom noted that in meetings early this year (January and February) citizen groups in this area stated that truck traffic had been in- creasing, creating a danger for children crossing the street to school. They were concerned then, and especially when Sunkist Street is extended southerly. 70-452 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES -September 1, 1970, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Granzow reported that the trucks they have obserVed and fol- lowed in the areawere trucks primarilY 'serving the area and, in their opin- 'ion, the street is not being used'bY the major truck~haulers. Mr. Noble addressed the Council, advising that the street isa residential street on which there are three elementary schools and a Junior and senior high school. He realized that the street was reStricted against heavy truck traffic, and that the problem was not critical at this time, but'that conditions have worsened in the last three years. .. , Mr. Noble further advised that he had not personallY followed,.. , any of the trucks to their destination, however, they request .the street be posted now as a practical matter to warn trucks that this is a restric- ted street. Mr. Geisler repOrted that the only sign that could.be considered would be "No Through Truck Traffic." Mr. Noble stated that they preferred the 6,000 pound weight limi- tation sign, similar to the one posted on South Street, off of state COllege BouleVard. Councilman Clark felt that the request wa~ reasonable, based on: the industrial area and the fact that Sunkist Street paralleled the Free- way, and'thereupon moved that the street be posted with "No Through TrUck Traffic" signs. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. During the discussion that followed,-~ouncilman Stephenson re .... ferred to the opinion of the Traffic Engineer and also the fact that nor- mally truck drivers are well aware of the designated truck routes through a City. He further felt that posting the street would have no effect on its use and that this would be a needless expenditure of funds, creating additional problems for the Police Department. Councilman Dutton agreed with the recommendations of the Traffic Engineer and felt that this would set a precedent for every street now re- stricted. Councilman Pebley referred to the time when the Sunkist align- ment was approved, at which time he disapproved Sunkist being extended southerly, and felt then that this action would increase truck traffic by those trucks using Sunkist Street, rather than State College BOulevardl Under these circumstances, Councilman Pebley felt no precedent would neces- sarily be established, as there are exceptional circumstances in this stance. Councilmen Dutton and Stephenson suggested that posting be de- ferred until the street is extended to determine if there is, in fact, a problem. The question was called for and following is the Roll Call Vote on the Motion: AYES: COUNCILMEN: NOES: COUNCILMEN: ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: Clark, Pebley and Thom Stephenson and Dutton None MOTION CARRIED.

Williams DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC UTILITIES: Gordon Hoyt DIRECTOR OF FINANCE: Douglas Ogden ELECTRICAL SALES SUPERVISOR: Henry C. Wiley Mayor Pro Tem Pebley called the meeting to order. BUDGET/CAPITAL IMPROVEM~I~fS.; City Manager Keith Murdoch stated the purpose of this Adjourned Regular Meeting was to discuss possible areas where cuts could be made in the Current Fiscal Year Operating Budget to partially meet some of this year's Capital Improvements, and to discuss possible'additional sources of revenue. He stated that although the recap of the Summary of Capital Outlay Requests, Fiscal'Years1970-71 through 1975-76, which the Council received on September 4, 1970, reflected changes resulting from discussions at the Adjourned Regular Meeting held September 1, 1970, there still could be some items listed that the Council might deem inappropriate. Mr, Murdoch advised the approx!~i~!y $1~225,000.00 of additional revenues indicated as nec~ to m~ ~h~ ~q~t~d Capital Improvements for the balance of FisCal Y~r 1~0-?i ~o~1~ b~ ~riv~d ~rom ~lther of the two major sources prevfo~S!y d~~d ~ Admt~sioms Tax or U~ili~ies Tax; however, $3,000,000.00 or $3,500,000,00 in addl~ionil rsvenuas would be required to carry on a satisfactorily aggrss~ive program. In answe~ to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Murdoch advised only very minor adjustments have been found feasible since the.adoption of the current Operat- ing Budget and most of those were for street construction, due to the fact that available Gas Tax fu~ will not be as grgat~as anticipated. He further stated
