1970/11/2470-642 City lin11, ~__~heim~ California - COUNCIL NIl/UTES - Nov_~-~er 24~ 1970, 9:00 The City Council of the City of Anaheim met in Adjourned Resu- 1ar Session. PRES~.I~T: COUNCIL~I/: Clark, Stephenson, Pebley, Thom and Dutton ABSENT: COUNCII~EI~: None PRESENT: CITY NAI~AGER: Keith A. l~rdoch CITY ATIO~EY: Joseph B. Geisler CITY CLERIC: Dene H. l/illiams FINANCE DIREr: Dou$1as I~. Ogden FARES AND RECREATIO1/ DIRECTOR: John J. Collier Hayor Dutton called the meeting to order, and announced that this Adjourned Resular Heeting was to discuss ways and means to /urther cut Budget items, in an attempt to avoid producir~ additional sources of revenue. BUDGETED CAPITAL OUTLAYS; City 14anager Keith A. l~urdoch called attention to a revised report by the Finance Director ~herein 1971-72 revenues are es- timated at over $41,000,000., ~rLth OperatinS Budget requirements of ap- proximately $3'/,000,000., leaving Just over $4,000,000. for Capital Items. The Capital Items included in the 1970-71 Budget total $6,23~,000.; those items considered urgent total $5,295,000., ~hich include requirements by contractual commitments or existing programs already authorized. Hr. Y~rdoch advised that there has been considerable response from the "Let Us Enow" feature in the City Newsletter, most of ~ich are requesting improved service levels ~nich could not be possible with- out incurring additional costs. Referring to the 1970-71 Budget, Hr. l/urdoch advised that this year ts Budget ~ould allow adequate operation without a tax increase or new revenue sources; however, there should be provisions made /or Capi- tal Improvements. He thereupon proceeded to review the major items lis- ted in the 1970-71 Budget under the Capital Outlay category: STADIUH - I.~ASE PAY~NTS ~ POSSESS~RY Ih'TEREST TAX: Hr. ~t~rdoch ad- vised these expanses are unavoidable; however, they are substantially paid by Stadium revenues from baseball and other activities ~hich total about $1,400,000. O0 per year. STADIUH- PARKING: Hr. Hurdoch advised the figures shorn for repair of the parking area is preventive repair, half of the cost of ~ich is sched- uled for 1970-71, and the other half for 1971-72, vhich cost is shared by the major tenant and some of the other tenants. CO1T~10N CENTER: Hr. Nurdoch stated the $200,000.00 listed for meet- ing room expansion is for conversion of the patio, a project that pres- ently is undervay. CONVENTION C~R__ R- PAR~INH: Hr. ~rdoch cited traffic problems in the Disneyland-Conventton Center-Hotel/Hotel area that occur Vhen major events are held, a determining factor for scheduling directional sisning for Convention Center parking. He further explained that the lease payment shorn for the Schroeder property eventually would be paid out of reve- nues from the Royal Inn. He advised there were several additional betterments to the - Convention Center that should be discussed; hoverer, it was felt these should be handled on a different type of financing basis, and thus dis- cussed at a separate ~eetin~. POLIC~ - HELIPORt: Hr. }tirdoch advised £hat the $2,500.00 shoum for a Heliport actually vas for a ~hainlink fence to be constructed around the helicopter landin~ area, ~ehtch vould provide only minimum protection. He added that it may be possible to combine a needed storage area for articles being held temporarily for subsequent cases, with an area for the helicopters; hmeever, plans have not' been completed for such a pro- Ject at this time. '70-643 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCILK~___mYEES - Novem~,~er 24, 1970, 9:00 A.H. FIRE I~PART~NT; Hr. Nordoch.noted $100,000.00 listed for construction of Fire Station No. 9, and advised that this item could be delayed without greatly worsening the present situation, which also would mean deletion of $132,000.00 budgeted for 1970-71 for personnel to man this station. In answer t° Councilmen Dutton and Stephenson, ~r. ~urdoch advised that deletion of this Fire Station vould have no effect on fire insurance rates since the present rate was set v~thout taking the Station into consi- deration; construction of the Station could have the effect o£ lowering rates, but there are other factors that would have to be considered besides construc- tion of another Station. PUBLIC I~ - NE~ S~ CORSI~U(~XON: Hr. Hurdoch advised chat the new street construction indicated would have to be financed out of the General Fund, and not Cas Tax monies. He reminded the Council that the Orange Free- way, Douglass Street overcrossing would not be constructed this Fiscal Year, and that $207,000.00 of the listed $380,000.00 had been transferred to the Chanttlly Drain Project, since that project would be completed; however, the remainder should be carried over to the 1971-72 Budget for the overcrossing, plus an additional $392,000.00 needed to complete the project. He further advised that the $84,000.00 shown for Hiscellaneous Streets was Iow, due to the transfer of funds from other street projects. .U~ILITIES - ELECTRICAL: U~ILXTIES - ~fr. ~urdoch stated he was reluctant to recomnend any adjustment for the figures listed in the Electrical system, even though the amount budgeted may not be spent, due to reduction in con- struction since revenues from the sale of electricity also are down, particu- larly in the industrial areas. Also, it may be necessary to transfer an ad- ditional $115,000.00 to the Medallion Pro,rem from construction funds. He also noted $500,000.00 ltsted for Edison acquisitions, in ac- cordance with the agreement between the City and Edison Company, and advised that although this acquisition project could be delayed, he did not feel this would be advisable, since the electrical distribution system is the City's best revenue producer. Hr. ~turdoch expressed the opinion Chat it would be better to borrow ~unds for the tmsmdiate purchase of the entire remaining system, and pay for the borrowed ~unds, principal and interest, out of revenues received from the added system; even at 7%or 7-1/2~ it would be to the City's benefit. In answer to Councilman Thom, Hr. Hurdoch advised that the inter- est on Government Bonds at this time would run a little under 6%, Revenue Bonds about 6%, Lease Financtn~ ELECTRICAL - STRUT LICHTII~: Hr. Nurdoch advised that the $~5,000.00 lis- ted for Street L~hCtng Improvements included only materials, since labor is included under. Salary and #a~es. He su~sested the budseted figure for this category should be at least twice the amount listed for this year, and added that street liBttttng is one subject that has been high on the 'Shot list" of responses from the "Let Us ~ coupons. Hr. Hurdoch zuuested the Council reread the Citizens Coomatttee Re- port on Street IA~htin~.. Hr. l~trdoch expressed the belief that the a veil at IAnda Vista would not suffice, since the c~st of d~illin~ a ~11 ~let~ ~ ~e past year h~ been altar double ~is ~t due to ~ ~ ~ de~ ~n pl~. He ~lain~ that ~rth~ mtu~ ~8 n~ Co ~~ if this pr~om~ ~ll ~ld be in a ~e a~ata, fi~e if it ~e, ~e ns a ~s.stbtli~ taC other ~lls re~ ~ta~ ~e $~,~.~ ~ this ~11, ev~ 't'~ lC my not be u~ ~is ~al 70-664 ' Hall. An~e~n. California - COI~OlI. MII~JTES = Nov~.er 24. 1970, 9:00 A,M. In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. ~Jirdoch advised it was less expensive to pay the' Orange County Water District Ip? tax, rather than purchase water from the Netropolitan Water District. UTILIT!R__s = WA~_.n. ~_~Ns_HISSION AND DISTRIBUTION; Mr. Hurdoch stated the Budseted figure for Pipe Jobs should be from $230,.000.00 to $600,000.00, and the $125,000.00 shown in the present Budget is only possible because there is a backlog of Jobs not yet completed, and those formerly budSet&d fund8 will be used this year. He added that the voters previously had ap- proved a $2,000,000.00 Bond Issue and it was possible to use those funds for these miscellaneous pipe Jobs and wells, although he felt those bonds should only be used if there is an abnormal situation. In reply to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Hurdoch advised he believed it vould be possible to sell some of the Water Bonds to replenish the General Fund for the money spent for the well built the previous year, but he did not think it ~ould help the situation at this trine; also, it was his belief the present critical situation would be over the next two or three years, and the Bonds should be held for greater needs. pA_uF.q & RECREAT~0N - HEW ~QLF COURSE: Hr. Hurdoch noted the $300,000.00 listed for golf course improvements is for construction of the second nine holes of the new golf course. He advised that, since all of the cost of golf course land acquisition and improvements are to be borne from the revenues of the golf course, this eliminates some moneys formerly goifl8 into the General Fund at this time. He therefore suggested construction of the second nine holes of the golf course could and should be financed on a lobe-term basis so as to not interrupt the 'flew of golf course funds into the General Fund. p_AR__~ A~D RECREACTI0~ = CITY PARKS: Hr. Nurdoch advised that although Schwettzer Park is not yet developed and thus the scheduled bridge and Walkway'over the £i~ contr'oI'~ch~ei'a~'e~'~n0~'~iUt~I~ n~CessarY at this time, a commitment has been made to the schools to Provide this im- provement for convenience and to reduce bussing requirements. The amount shorn is the Ctty*s share of the estimated cost. The City lisnaKer also referenced an item for heating, enclosure and installin~ shower stalls at the Central Yard, and stated this is con- sidered a necessity to provide a means for maintenance personnel to re- move irritating insecticides and other chemicals from their persons. With regard to the item of providing facades for four parlt cod- trol structures, Hr. Nurdoch advised tha~ Property Fditntenance highly re- co~u~nds refacing these buildings, since the frame and stucco exterior is costly to repair vhen danced by vandals. Hr. Nurdoch suggested the Council review the congested Park ~and Recreation and Farku~y :Maintenance office8 to Justify the budgeted expense for expansion this year and next, and also tour the Hanzanita Park area and La Palms Park grandstand. He r~ui_uded the Council that in Sept~e~ they decided to budget half of the $100,000.00 scheduled for Nanzanita Park this year, and the other half in the 1971-72 Budget, and then .use the other $50,000.00 originally scheduled for this year to pay for building the ten- nis conr~s on the Nohl Ranch property. Parks and Recreation Director John Collier explained that the scheduled expenditure for the La Palms Park grandstand vas to enclose the area-under the STands,and for storage use. Mr. Collier distributed a supplementary report on the park de- velopment budget, and Mr. lltrdoch called attention to the fact that the report indicates the currently budgeted site improvements at Pioneer Park could be postponed; hoVeVer, there are other it_~um, such as the City's $30,000.00 share for development of the "Iztttle Peoplets Park" that are o~.ttod in the budget, in error. 70-645 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUI~IL MI~T~S - November 24, 1970, 9:00 A.M. PARKS AND RE(~ION - EXISTII~ ~0I~ CO~RSE: Hr. F~rdoch advised that the Maintenance Buildtn~ extension, restrooms and golf-cart storage are items being done in cooperation with the concessionaire and presently are under way. PUBLIC WOR~ -SEWER CON$1~IICTION: Hr. F~rdoch advised that sewer improve- ments are constructed entirely from fees paid by property owners in develop- lng their land, and thus fees should be set to cover these costs. He advised it was planned to recoe~end rate changes as costs increase, PUBLIO W0~ - ~ TAX II~pRoVE~NTS: Hr. Murdoch advised that a recent change in State Laws allows a greater portion of Gas Tax funds to be used for main- tenance; however, further study is necessary before any changes in City Policy are rec~ended. Hr. Murdoch summarized the Capital Outlays by stating he believed there is very little flexibility in the items as listed. SUMMARY OF CAPitAL OUTI~Y P. gQUESTS - 1970-71 FISCAL YEAR: The City Manager reviewed some of the Capital Outlay requests for Fiscal Year 1970-71: Hr. Nurdoch stated that discussions with Library Director William resulted in a suuestton that, rather than reinstate the old Book- mobile into service, a better approach might be to convert the Montasue house to be used for library purposes. He reported the estimated costs for initial opening and annual operation of this library facility on a nine-hour day, five- day week basis without additional book stops would be approximately $38,000.00. Hr. ~rdoch reconanended this be considered for the 1971-72 Budget, and thus the $20,000.00 listed for putting the old Bookmobile back into service this year could be deleted. CITy HALLl Hr. Nurdoch stated that there still is a need for additional space for City activities, either by consolidating existing buildings as much as pos- sible, or by rentin~ or acquirin~ additional facilities. He reported that a preliminary study by the Director of Public Works with the primary goal of brin~in~ together as ~any functions as possible, and providing additional space required for continued expansion, listed several al- ternatives, as follows: a. Relocate Engineerin~ and Development Services Departments in the Bank of America Building at Lincoln and claudine, either through acquisition or rental, thereby releasing.their present space for use by Parks and Recrea- tion Department and the City Attorney's office. Estimated costs have not been discussed with the owners of the butldin~, since they prefer to sell; however, owners have requested the City make a proposal to rent if they do not Wish to purchase the building. Councilman Pebley suggested the present Parks and Rec- reation buildin~ could be sold if those offices were moved to the City Hall fa- cility. b. Lease a portion of the Nortrontcs Building, at 500 East Orange- thorpe Avenue, at 35¢ per square foot, or an annual rental of $181,566.00, and consolidate City offices therein. This would include parkin~ space, Jani- torial service, air condittonin~, carpeting, and utilities. Councilman Thom, notin~ that the voters definitely h~d indicated City Hall should be located where it now is, stated he would not be in favor of movin~ the offices to the Nortronics Ruillin~. c. The new Bank of America Building on South Harbor Boulevard has offered space for rental a little under 5Oc per square foot, which could go as low as 47¢ p~r squ~re t~ot, dependin~ an the ~mount of space utilized. Couucllmm~ Clark ~eted a st~sdy be made on the rent the City presently pays ~ad the total ~t that c~uld be-realized From the sale of the present City-O~ facilities, to be eo~pered with the cost of purchasing the downtown ~ank of imerica~ld~. .Mr. Mardoch reported that nothing has been included in the Budget for rental of ad~ttiema~'sl~ee, 7O- 646 Hall, Anaheim, ~altfgrnta- COUNCIL NINUT~S- November 24, 1970, 9;00 A.M. T~IOIIS CO~TS AlTO OUED0~ ~I~T~: ~r. H~rdoch reertuded the Council that $50,000.00 of the listed $7&,000.00 for this ite~ had been taken from ~an- zanita Park develol~ent /undo, end advised he felt the re~mtntns $24,000. could be absorbed fro~ Capital Outlay funds or' the present Budget. ~AC~E ~ CULTU~LL C~IlT~: Hr. ~rdoch stated that, ~r~thout an addi- tional source of revenue, the $100,000.00 the Council had indicated they ~ould be ~rtllin~ to spen~ to remodel end re/urbish Horace ~ann School for a Cultural Center ~ould not be available. In answer to Councilman Pebley, Hr. Hurdoch advised that the School D~strtct is a~aitins the project to be brought before them so~e time in January by the Cultural Arts Co~ission before ~akin$ a decision on the fate of the school bulldtn$. Councilman Pebley stated that the 3 acres, the land on ~hich the school buildtns is situated, is ~orth~ore than it would cost to put the school buildtns in shape for use as a Cultural Center. Hr. Collier advised that only 1-1/2 acres So ~r~th the Horace ~ann School Building, since the rest of the land is used for school parking. ¥~U~/C~RS: Hr. ~rdoch stated that this item can be deleted at this time, since it appears there ~-~11 be no activity in this area this Fiscal Year. K~NI-BIEE AND ~OTORCYCI~ PAR~; Hr. ~hrdoch asked the Council if they~r~shed to participate in this project in any way since there are no funds avail- able to meet the $20,000.00 that had been estimated as the City's share in this Joint City-County venture. Councilman Dutton stated that, in vie~ of the fact that there are 10,000 bikes re~stered in the City of Anaheim, and a recent ordin- ance prohibits use of the streets 'and properties by mini-bikes, he felt the City should endeavor to provide some place to ride these bikes. In ans~eer to Councilman Clark's inquiry about a possible con- cesstonaire, Hr. F~rdoch advised that the total cost of developing the park vould be about $150,000.00, and the $20,000.00 indicated is what is estfloated to be the Ctty's share. pAR~S ~OUISITION: Hr. ~rdoch stated that the updated analysis of the parks acquisition pro,tm is contin~ent upon the probability of specific sites being on the market for development, most of which are located vest of the Santa Aha River and ~ould be additions to present park sites. He also stated that Sase Park presently has one ball field that was built ih co- operation~th the Little League; however, there have been numerous com- plaints of broken ~ndo~ in the past year, end it vas felt the ball field should be relocated. He advised that the I~Lttle League Board has been invest~atin~ the possibility o[ a cooperative venture wherein some of the vacant land adjacent to Sase Park, runnin~ over to West Street for access, could be developed as a subdivision for which the Little League · ~odld undertake re~m~tbtltty in conJunction~r~th developers, end thus some addttiomal pretty could be acquired to provide en additional ball field. The $~&,O00.O0 budseted represents the estimated cost for addi- tional land ~nd does not include any development costs. Hr. l~rdoch referred to en a~reement ~th the Stent Co, any to acquire 65 aere~ o~ park property and reported the $200,000.00 do,n- ,pa .y~ot ~ould be required in 1971-72, rather than this year's budget. VEHiCLE~: Hr. ~rdoch advised that the Public ~orks Department has indicate~l that it could co~lete this fiscal year on the replacement sche- dule pro, tided in the ~udSet. He added that it mould not be advisable to contin~ tld~ l~racticebecause it ~ould result tn necessary increases in ~nlx~er, eqoil~ent ~od services on these vehtcles, and also a lo, er trade-in value. Re stated this policy cowld not be econo~ically followed more often than once every /tve years, if that often. 70-647 City Hall,.Anahei~ California -.cou~cIL~S - Nov~nher 24, .1970., .9:00 A..H- STADIUNIJ~qD ~$1~0~: Mr. l~rdoch stated that this item is land included in the ori$1nal purchase,but under condemnation all this time. An appeal to the Courtts valuation of $75,000.00 per acre on this property has been filed, and it is expected that Court actionwtll be completed this year, at which time the purchase either naist be completed or abandoned, althouih a portion of this land was involved in the l~atella Underpass, and thus could not be abandoned. He added that the land used for the Underpass could be paid for out of Ga~..Taxuo~Les, a~dat thio t~me the Attorneys are determ~uinshow much of the purchase price of this total acquisition could be paid with Oas Tax funds. GOLF ~Ot~ NO. l: ~r. Nurdoch advised that although a sols course facility pays its o~nway, it does so only year-by-year, if the capital expenditu~es used for development actually are set up on a lon~-term financin~ basis; however, construction of the current project is not set up on a lonE-term financin$ at this time. He reco~nended very serious exploration of lonE-term financing in those areas where it is applicable, indicating one such area is the pro- posed ney golf course, since such procedure could release funds to the Gen- eral Fund that would not otherwise be available. Councilman Dutton stated he would be in favor of this procedure if would alternate the necessity of producing additional revenue. sU}I~ARY OF CAPITAL OUTI~¥ REQUESTS, 1971-72: }ir. ~urdoch revieved Capital Outlay requests for 1971-72 as follows, and stated he did not believe any items on which bond issue8 failed, other than acquisition of the Edison Company faci- lities, should be carried in normal Budiet years: ~IJ}RARY S..I'I~ '~': Since Library Site .~m would fit on one of the park areas on the Nohl Ranch property recently ne$otiated by the Council with the Grant Corporation, Hr. ~urdoch advised the $66,000..00 listed for that purpose nov ADDITIONAL pURCHASL~ OFFICE SPACE: Hr. Hurdoch stated that the $20,000.00 indicated for expansion of the Purchasin~ Office facilities is not specific since it would depend on what is done with some of the other office space, and this is a part of the space analysis study bein~ ~de by Hr. Piersall. p.ARKIA~A~QUISITIONAND PA~DEVELO~: Hr. ~rdoch advised that the figures listed for these categories are sliihtly hi~her than the normal ex- penditure over the past five years as · safeguard for the possibility of pur- chasing land more rapidly than can be done from in lieu fees. Councilman Dutton asked if the amount listed in the 5-year projec- tion for park land acquisition of $§ to 67 acres nov should be reduced sub- stantially, in vl~of the recant purchase of Nohl Ranch property. Hr. Nurdoch replied that 25 acres of that projected park land pur- chase was included in the NOhl Ranch aireement, and it is possible the es- timatedprice for that land was hi,her than the final aireement; however, funds must be provided to co,plate, acquisition asre~ents which would be paid for by in lieu fees. Re add~l that 'the remainder of the land acquisition is scheduled for purchase of proq~e~tywast of the Santa And River, althouEh pre- sent projections hsd not lacladed any additional land at Sase Park. ~OLI~ y~n ~rP~T~ i~ 1.9. __~_~*U u~a~_n~_T~__r~__: ~. ~rd~ stated that, becme t~ ~t~'~t~ Y~ tt.~t ~tly f~, oec~i~ ts al~s~ ~~st~t ~ ~ ~ ~ diffi~lttes ~e visit~o h~e be~ r~ cord~ ~he lic~ ~s of m~cmr c~s, e~c. b add~ ~ha~ s~ st~s ut ~ t~ to ~ ~o, alth~sh at this t~ no definite plans ha~ ~~e. CO--CATIOnS: Mr. l~rdoch stated that, although there presently is no spe- cific re--.ion on the Commmications Network, it could stand improve- seat, and shOUI~ be-~'tdered; 70- 648 Citw ~all. *-~h_~t~.

N~rdoch stated there is a constant Storm Drain proble~ in those areas where etor~ drains have not been provided, and this subject of tomy reepo~eee fro~ the "Let Us Know" proKram. $392,000.00 ,mst be provided for the underpass at Douglass Street. SE~RS, .T~AFF~C ~Z~IALS/ST~IPINC AND I~W STREETS: Nr. ~turdoch stated that these categories generally ere t~_ken care of out of the lflnited funds and were covered in the General Fund discussions. LEASE ~AY~h'fS: Hr. ~rdoch advised that if the Royal Inn situation does go ahead this co~ing year there ~11 be a do~n-payment of $100,000.00; from then on, principal and interest on the Schroeder property purchase ~ould be borne entirely Prom the Royal Inn lease. CO~rE~TIONCENTER- PARKII~LOTEXPANSIONA~DHISCELIA~OUS IHPROVEI~h,T$: Hr. Nardoch reiterated that Convention Center i~rrove~ents should be han- died on an entirely different type of ftnancinE situation and not Prom the General Fund. ~DZSON CONPAI~ACOUISZTIONAKD INTE611ATION~FiTH THE PRESENT SYSTEH: Nerdoch stated that stretchtn~ this acquisition proira~ out over seven years would call for about $750,000.00 per year, and he recoeznended the Council consider other types of lon~-term financing for this pro~ram. STREET LI~HTII~: Hr. Hurdoch expressed the belief that the Street Light- in~ pro,ram should be twice as active as it is at present. EI~CTAIC - PIAK~AND SUBSTATI~EXPANSION: Hr. ~rdoch advised that, $3,~,~.~ e~ ~, of t~ ~,330,0~.00 indicat~ for Fiscal Years 1971-72 ~d 1972-73 ts for ~ sha~ equi~nt ~d installation. ~tch ~uld ~de l~r ~ costs ~ the ldi.~ ~~ and ~ld h~e to be nesotiated ~h the c~ since the present a~e~nt e~lres in July, 1973. ~o~er portl~ of those ~nds pro,des for 220K volt ser- vice, ~i~ qatn c~ld result in considerable sa~s if the Ct~ took the re~sibtlity for the capital inves~t. ~. ~rd~h su~8ested the best ~ys of rate payt~ or ftnanct~ both of ~hese electrical ser- ~ce pr~ sh~ld be studied.

Councllmm Dutton ~reed with Councilman Clark that nobody wants increased taxes; however, it ess hiS' op~lnton that since seven out of ten qualified voters failed to vote on the bond issues, there was no way of know- ing what the voters really wanted ~n the way of capital improvements. He added that it was his opinion if equl4seent and c~pttal improve~ents are not kept up at all times the expense of repair end replacement becomes excessive. Councilmm Clark re~teea_~dhis opinion that the only thin8 that should be done at tht~ tt~e ~ t~mat back on actual operatiene, and defer all capital is~rovements until there is additional revenue coming in to the City since he did not feel the economy warranted any more tax increases. Council~ Dutton re~t~ the belief that if lens-term financing or some other method could be utilized to do the things necessary no~, ~r~th- out costing the City mey or ~in~ additional sources of revenue on the public, he was in favor of it. Hr. ~rdoch stated that lon~term financing does cost money; hob- ever, if the procedure is used for revenue-producing activities, those reve- nue-producing sources could pay the interest costs much faster than going on a pay-as-you-go basis. He a~ain expressed the opinion the City would benefit if the long-term financin~method was used. Councilman Tho~ advised that discussion with a group of businessmen had elicited the su~eztion that a special election could be held to deVarmine a replacement when Council~ Clark takes over his position as a County Super- visor, and at the same time the electrical bond issue could again be placed on the ballot. He repeated his belief that the electrical bond issue would be passed by the voters if it was the only bond issue on the ballot. City Attorney Joseph Ceisler stated that he believed the en~[nent domain suit the City has on acquisition of property w~ll be decided this year, and if so, t~e ~ey for purchase of that property will be needed. Hr. Nurdoch advised that this ite~has been carried in the budget for several years at the price dee~d appropriate; however, since there has been an indication a hi~her valuationwill .be placed on,the property by the Courts, approximately $200,000.00 additional funds may be needed. Hr. Nurdoch listed the financial alternatives open to the Council as: Refuse to do the thin~s previously indicated as desired; provide addi- tional sources of revenue; increase revenue by way of an admissions tax or utilities tax; or reconsider lease financing. In answer to Council~an Stephenson, Hr. Hurdoch agreed lease finan- cin$ ~ould be for specific major items, and advised that ~his in turn ~uld release f~ds to all~sol~ ~ead ~th pro~ pre~ously indicated desir- ~le.

James Townsend, Chairman of the Telephone Taxpayers Comn~ttee, ex- pressed the opinion that'this country is facing a depression and neither the City Council nor any other ~,rm~ent body should cont-?late expenditures until the economy stabilizes. He predtcted there would be wage and price controls in the United States in the next 12 months. Hr. Townsend stated that, in his opinion, the citizens of Anaheim would not tolerate a utilities tax. Hr. Townsend recos~ended the City Newsletter be discontinued, as one econourymeasure. Hr'. Townsend opposed the idea of purchasing.any additional Edison facilities, since the issue had been defeated twice by the voters, in the last.2-1/2 years. 70- 650 With res~rd to .a now City Hall, Mr. Tmmoeud expressed--the opinion that the CtttZeU8 Of Anaheim never have boe~ opposed to this, end would not object to Imtttn~ that project on a pay-as-you-go basis. In ~nsver to a question by Hr. Townsend, Mr. Murdoch advised that the present sols course revenues had paid for the entire operation of the course, land improvement and operation on a pay-as-you-so basis, Mr. Townsend stated he hsd no more objection to that activity than to the bed tax,as lo~ aa they did not become a burden Zo the City,' Mr. Townsend also reconn~nded that /uture salary negotiations not include top executive o~ficer8, but that those salaries be set by 'the Council in a oeparet~J tletiou. In reply to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Townsend advised that the last poll of the members of his organization indicated they were in favor of an admissions' tax, especially an extra 2§¢ for Stadiu~ ballgsmes, due to the fact that the Stadium experiences a loss annually; however, he stated he personally was opposed to any kind of tax on another person's business. Hayor Dutton asked if anyone else wished to address the Council. A.J. Schutte, 420 North Loara Street, voiced his objection to an admissions tax, arsuins that such a tax would be unfair ~o IKsneyland,. the attraction responsible for our tourist success. He also expressed the opinion that too tony parks could result in the costs being too high to operate them. Mrs. Ralph Callas, 1442 West Park, stated her objection.-to a utilities tax over an admissions tax vas that a utilities tax vould be taxing necessities, whereas nors visitors than Anaheim residents attended Disneyland and Stadium activities. Councilman Stephenson declared he would not be in favor of tm- posing any tax. Councilman D~tton stated he vould be interested in exploring Ions-term ftnancin$ in an attempt to avoid imposins a tax or havins to cut the budget. Councilman Clark asked if it would hinder law enforcement if the C~.m~ntcations Center program remained as is at the present time. Mr. Nurdoch stated he believed a substantial savins could be realized by combtntn~ mmry of the City's cou~un~cations activities, such as Utilities, Police, Fire ~nd Public Norks; however, at thio time the proper fq~rosch has not been determined, and thus it is not scheduled ~ar~ - this year' s l~dget. In mmwer to Councilman Vebley, Mr. Murdoch advised that the 1970-71 Capital Imp~to ~ould total a little under $1,000,000.00 by reducin~ the amount o£ u~ey allocated for park lends.

I~¢!-ASSIF~OA~ION NO. 69-70-51 - PI3~ TREE: The City Attorney submitted a memoran- dum from Ron Wo11, Parkvay Maintenance Superintendent, dated July 13, 1970, expressinS concern that it vould be unsafe to cut the roots to the south of a laree tree for the purpose of sidevalk installation, at 2~9 West Ball Road, covered under Reclassification No. 69-70-51, and reminded the Council that they had granted permission to the developer to encroach into the sidevalk area in order to save the tree, subject to the approval of the Parkway ~atn- tenants Superintendent. Mr. Woll advised the Council that subsequent to his memo the devel- opers had proposed constructin$ a retainer around the tree, and if no major roots had to be severed durin~ sidevalk installation the 60-foot tree could be saved. Ho one could euarantee any tree vould be safe. He therefore recom- mended the tre~ be saved if no major roots are required to be cut durins side- walk installation, and the developer builds a retainer around the tree. At the invitation of the Council, James Hollenbeck, 610 East Buffalo, Santa Ann, o~ner of subject property, addressed the Council. Mr. Hollenbeck advised that he had had a laree tractor excavate a- round the north stdeof the tree as vould be done durin$ sidevalk installation, and found the lareest root cut in this operation was no ~ore than an inch and a half in dimter. Re also had heavy pressure put on the north side of the. tree and, althoueh the tree shook, the base remained solid. He. stated he also had the tree examined by Wesley H~?hrey, of the State Division of Asriculture, at the University of California at Irv~ne, vho reco~znended the tree be saved. On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Clark, the Council reaffir~ed its pr. evio~s action to alloy the tree to be saved if pos- sible, and to alloy the sidevalk to be constructed around it, on the condi- tion the developer build a retainer around the tree as su$sested and recom- mended by the, Parkway tiatntenance Superintendent.

HISS ~ COUNTY PA~ - C0}B~TI0N CENTER; Hayor Dutton submitted a re- quest from Carey L. Gibbs, Executive Producer of the Hiss Orange County Pageant, that use of the ~aheim Room at the Convention Center be don- ated traditionally for the purpose of conducting this Pageant. The City Clerk advised that a request recently had been received from the Women's Division of the Anaheim Chamber of Con~aerce for acconmno- datione at the Convention Center for the Hiss Anaheim Pageant. cil. At the invitation of Hayor Dutton, Hr. Gibbs addressed the Coun- Hr. Gibbs advised it was felt that holding the Hiss Orange County Pageant at the Convention Center ~ould upgrade the activity; however, since they are a non-profit organization, their budget is limited. Councilman Dutton expressed the opinion that, since the Conven- tion Center is a co.-..unity center it ~ould be an appropriate location for the Pageant. Administrative Assistant John Harding submitted a report from the Director of the Stadium-Convention Center, .recon~nending that the Pagt- ant be required either to pay the normal $1,000.00 fee for use of the Ana- heim Room, or hold the Pageant in conjunction with a food function, in ~ich case there is no charge for the use of the room. In reply to discussion on the possibility of the City of Anaheim co-sponsoring the Hiss Orange County Pageant, and alloying the use of the Convention Center Anaheim Room free of charge, the City Attorney advised this procedure probably vould be considered a gift of public funds, since it would mean the citizens of Anaheim~ould be subsidizing an activity for a limited number of people. He su~ested that, since it is an Orange County activity, it vould be mere appropriate if the orange County Board of Super- visors paid the fee. In answer to Councilman Pebley, the City Attorney advised that if Nelodyland Theatre was used the pageant ~ould not require a conditional use permit, since the facility still is a theatre, and thus available for such activities. By general Council consent, Hr. Gibbs was advised the Hiss Orange County Pageant either must pay the $1,000.00 charge for the use of the Convention Center facility, or hold a food function in conjunction with the activity, as the City could not cosponsor the event.

T~. 70-659 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - November 24, 1970, 1:30 P.M. He stated that lease financin~ on this program probably could be done in three stages - $1,250'000.00 this coming calendar year, as soon as the bonds could be sold; $3,000,000.00 the follourlng year; and $3,750,000.00 the third year. This then would release sufficient funds for the balance of Fiscal Year 1970-71 to take care of those capital items the Council has indi- cated a desire to do during Fiscal Year 1970-71. Mr. Nurdoch vent on to report that utilizing long-term financing then would result, in releasing approximately $404,000.00 for Fiscal Year 1971-72, which amount alone would not meet requirements for that period; hob- ever, by selling approved water bonds, water construction requirements, over the next tvs years could be met by those revenues and this then would release sufficient additional funds to total approximately $1,250,000.00, which is a little less than the minimum requirements indicated for the 1971-72 capital program, and slightly more than half the $2,000,000.00 that probably could be realized from a utilities tax~ The third year would begin to show the effects of revenues from the acquisition, and about $8~2,000.00 could be released for capital improve- ments. Thereafter, $1,300,000.00 per year could be realized from this source. Hr. ~urdoch advised that lonE-term financing of Edison Company fa-. cilities acquisitionwould mean additional revenues equaling about half of what it is anticipated could be realized from a utilities tax, and about one- third of what could be realized from an admissions tax. Councilman Thom stated he disapproved of long-term financing for the acquisition of the Edison facilities, since the issue has been turned do~n by the voters in the defeat of the revenue bond issue. In reply to Councilman Dutton's argument that long-term financing would enable.acquiring the Edison facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis and release needed funds for other capital improvements, Councilman Thom advised he u~uld have to give Chis approach considerably more thought. In answer to Councilman Clark, }ir. Nurdoch advised that the City's agreement on acquisition urlth the Edison Company does not require the purchase of any facilities; however, it does set a time limit on when certain sections may be purchased. He further stated the only restrictions set down by the agreement are that acquisition must be made in logical service increments and must be completed within specific areas urithin minimum time periods before movin~ into another area. However, the time limit set forth in the agreement for purchasir~ all sections vi11 have expired by the trine financial arrange- ments could be finalized so the City would be free to acquire the remaining balance. Councilman Clark inquired about the status of the bill to tax public utilities. (S.B.-908). Hr. Murdoch advised that this bill had been killed in Senate Consult- tee during the last legislative session although it passed the Assembly. The bill will be heard again in Interim .Committee and is expected to be back on the floor this coming Legislative session. In the event this measure is adop- ted, the tax would amount to about 6% of the $14,000,000.00 gross revenues the City receives from its electrical utilities operations. Councilman Clark recoue~nded the revenue bonds issue for the pur- chase of the Edison facilities should again be placed on an election ballot. Councilman Thom agreed, stating it was his opinion, and that of several businessmen, that the only reason the revenue measure failed was be- cause it was included with the other many General Obligation bonds on the ballot. ADI~IONS. TAX: Councilman Thom sugsested that, since an Admissions Tax had not been discussed this date, it be reviewed at this time. He added that he was not in favor of any additional tax; however, in his opinion, an admissions tax was a voluntary one,~hereas a utilities tax was not. 70-660 Couaetlmn Sce~dusou stated he vould be opposed ~o any admis- sions r~z fot~ in ~he City o£ Au~hein since, ~ his ~int~, ic ~ld h~C ~ ~CiCt~ ~s~c~ ~ ~s ~eles, ~i~ has no such ~; ~, he s~t~ b hit ~e t.~e o~ ~ ~lii~ ~ uCili~ies ~ ~~ely Ih~ld be de~~ aC ~LI .~Couoct~m St~apbeueou moved t~ere,~,,.be us ~az imposed Thom seconded ~he mot iou.

Councilman Stephenson stated he would not be in favor of putting the issue on a ballot again before 1972. Council--~_~ Clark noted it was obvious from Council action the only solution at this time is to cut expenses, and the City Manager should cut back to meet present existing revenues. BUDGET AND CAPITAL OUTLAY CUTS: Councilman Stephenson stated that, if projects are to be cut, the Council should make the determination. HORACE ~ SCHOOL - CULTURAL ARTS CENTER: On mot!on by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Stephenson, the Cultural Arts Commission was notified that the City cannot undertake financing the Horace Mann School as a Cultural Arts Center, thereby reducing Capital Outlay requests by $100,000.00.

Mardoch advised this action would reduce the Budget by $148,000. for construction, and about $98,000.00 for labor, including fringe benefits. CYCLE PARK: Councilman Pebley stated he felt $20,000.00 spent for a cycle park would benefit more children than a quarter of a million dollars spent for City Parks. Hr. ~urdoch advised that the action on the Horace Mann School Cul- tural Arts Center and Fire Station No. 9 would bring this year's Budget just about into balance. The CounCil deferred any further action on the cycle park at this time. ~ARK LAND A~QUISITIO~; Councilman Clark inquired ~hat proportion of the $450,000.00 listed for pa~k land acquisition vas in lieu fees. Hr. Mardoch replied that, since in lieu fees are used for park land acquisition and development the funds were not budgeted specifically. He ex' plained that because the $200,000.00 dovn-payment on the 65 acres of parkland in Nohl Ranch rill not be necessary until next year, the park land acquisition figure is reduced to $250,000.00; also, at this time there is no pressing ~..d to purchase additional park land,'vith the possible exception of the land ~- cent to Sage Park, ~hich would cost abodt $24,000.00. Council~n clark moved $400,000.00 be deleted from the $450,000.00 listed for park land acquisition~ Councilman Stephenson seconded the motion. 70-662 On Roll Call Vote, requested by Hayor Dutton, the foregoing tion carried by the'£ollovinS vote: AYES: COUnCIl: l~O~S: CO~CI~: Clark, Stephenson, Pebley and Thom Dutton ~ne The City Nenaser, at the request of Counctl2an Clark, will r~ vier the financial status for Fiscal Year 1970-71 in light ofthe fore- gol~ actton~, ~d recemmmd any further action that might be necessary to balance the present ~udget.
