ADDITIONS /DELETIONS TO THE AGENDAS: None
PUBLIC COMMENTS (all agenda items except public hearings):
James Robert Reade celebrated Mayor Curt Pringle's tenure with the City of Anaheim.
An individual speaking on behalf of taxicab drivers, believed Anaheim's taxi permits should be
equally divided among the three franchises serving Anaheim. He felt the unequal distribution
favored the taxicab company with the most permits, shutting out the other two firms and creating
a monopoly. Mayor Pringle explained the taxicab franchise agreement would not come before
the City for action until 2012 and that the number of permits given to the three operators would
remain the same unless the terms of the franchise agreement was violated.
Erica Miller, Chance Theatre, announced the holiday literature series was back with The Secret
Garden opening this Friday until December 6th inviting the community to attend.
A Southern California Association of Governments representative announced the Pacific
Electric Right -of -Way (PE ROW) was holding public meetings on the transit study for transit
service along the PE corridor which could provide additional travel options between Los Angeles
and Orange Counties. This area was a railroad right -of -way that extended from Union Station in
Los Angeles to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. Those scheduled meetings, he
stated, were shown on www.PacificElectricCorridor.com
Doug Beal, USA Volleyball organization, thanked Mayor Pringle and council for their leadership
in supporting USA volleyball in Anaheim. The organization had extraordinary successes and
were delighted to be part of the Anaheim community and he hoped it would continue.
A taxi driver reiterated earlier comments made related to providing fair competition for taxi
service for the convention center, rather than allowing the monopoly of one firm to take over.
Mark Wordsbacher, California Yellow Cab, also voiced his complaints against that the Hilton
and Marriott hotels had contracted with one taxi service which stopped other drivers from
accessing patrons of those hotels. With Disneyland contemplating doing the same, drivers were
suffering real losses.
Larry McConshee, resident and taxi driver, stressed the point that drivers were no longer able to
make a living in Anaheim and were going out of business.
Resident and taxi driver, objected to exclusive taxis rights given to one company and Yellow
Cab's policy of leasing rather than hiring drivers.
Mary Ann Kazell, attorney for A White Yellow Cab, talked about hotels in Los Angeles paying
money to taxi companies for exclusive rights to do business at those hotels stating Anaheim
could be heading in this direction. She felt the City had the opportunity to step in and stop this.
Mayor Pringle responded that the City Attorney addressed his question as to whether the City
could require property owners to allow taxi service from certain companies and was told there
was nothing in the code, charter or the agreement which required hotels to allow access to
taxicab companies which had a franchise agreement in Anaheim.

Richard Johnson, California Yellow Cab, protested the plight of the drivers, stating with no
earnings, they were unable to pay their rent.
An Anaheim art gallery owner /taxi driver and proponent of equal permits for cab companies
asked that Council look into the matter and apportion cab allotments equally between the three
companies.
Amin David, resident, took this opportunity to object specifically to the approval of the Platinum
Triangle expansion EIR and Mayor Pringle's leadership in support of this vote.
Mayor Pringle responded that this council understood local taxi drivers were concerned because
private entities were restricting certain taxi drivers from access to their property. This, he
added, had nothing to do with the franchise agreement in which companies competed for a
number of taxicab slots. He emphasized the City could not require private property owners to
allow access by taxi drivers onto their property.
Lawrence McDermott, applicant and civil engineer, addressed his comments to Item No. 30, a
request for rehearing. He stated that on August 2, 2010, the Planning Commission met and
staff recommended approval of the request to rezone property into the mobile home overlay
zone. In addition, the City Attorney was on record stating that the developer was on good
standing to proceed with that project. At that meeting, the Developer also agreed that the lessor
could extend a 60 day period to relocate a certain structure important to the lessor. He added
the lessor appealed the decision and based on that appeal the Council conducted a public
hearing with no one speaking against the project and it was unanimously approved by the City
Council. He remarked he had been working on the project in good faith and since there had
been no opposition raised at the last public hearing, he believed the matter should be closed
and the hearing not reopened.
An unidentified speaker brought several concerns to the attention of city council.
Sarah, on behalf of the Hernandez family, thanked Council Member Hernandez for his service
to the city of Anaheim as firefighter and council member remarking the family was proud and
inspired by his actions.
Granddaughter Isabel Hernandez voiced her congratulations to Council Member Hernandez,
her grandfather.

THE CITY OF ANAHEIM setting forth findings for required amendments to the 2010

Council Member Hernandez asked Fire Chief Bruegman to inform Council of any major changes
to the Fire Code. Chief Bruegman responded the new code cleaned up some of the conflicts
Council Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2010
Page 8 of 10
that occurred between the code and Anaheim's ordinance. The major change related to
requiring fire sprinklers for all new residential homes.
Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing and receiving no comments closed the hearing.
Mayor Pringle remarked that the impact of requiring sprinklers in every new residential unit
would add $5,000 to $10,000 to the cost of new homes. He disagreed with this mandate as
homes were already expensive in California and this would add an unnecessary impact. He
added, however, state law required municipalities to adopt state -level prescribed standards,
such as building and fire codes, and while cities could make those codes more restrictive, they
could not be less.
Council Member Hernandez agreed remarking he had made his objections to this mandate
known as well and moved to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 6188 OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM

Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried.
Report on Closed Session Actions: None
Council Communications:
Council Member Galloway thanked Mayor Pringle and Council Members Hernandez and Kring
for their service to the City. Council Member Sidhu also thanked the outgoing officials for their
dedicated service to the City remarking it was an honor for him to work with each council
member.
Council Member Kring thanked the community for the privilege of representing them for the last
four years. She recalled a number of accomplishments achieved by the council during her
tenure: the new police station and community center on the west side, the expansion of Twila
Reid and Maxwell Park, the Twila Reid fire house expansion and the renovation of Haskett
Library. She stated the Tiger Woods Learning Center was dedicated with both Tiger Woods
and former President Bill Clinton in attendance. In downtown Anaheim, the Central Library
Children's Room was rededicated, groundbreaking began for Founder's Park and the Mills Act
for Historic Homes was expanded. The Packing house reuse was approved, Colony Park
homes built along with a new interactive park launched as a tribute to Anaheim's history with
water treatment mimicking Santa Ana River and the planting of orange groves, Parks had been
added, sustainability innovations created, and developers were encouraged to become leed
certified to protect the environment and today, she remarked, the City broke ground for a water
recycling project near city hall to take used water and treat it to a level to be used for
landscaping and flushing toilets. She mentioned the convention center and arena was
rededicated and new improvements at the east end of the City included a new library and gym,
Deer Canyon Park Preserve and the Mountain Park housing development.
The Anaheim community anti graffiti effort was launched to Help combat the proliferation of
graffiti and a community forum began to start the dialogue of what could be done about graffiti;
Council Meeting Minutes of November 16, 2010
Page 9 of 10
and with the help of Rotary Club and Anaheim beautiful, the Adopt a Neighborhood program
was started to let communities burdened with excessive graffiti and with the help of the
agencies, cleaned up their neighborhood. Her assistant, Vic Dominguez, had suggested
Anaheim have a Veterans Day celebration to honor all vets in Anaheim and this year the second
annual event was held. She ended her comments by recognizing and praising staff for their
talents and thanking family members for their support.
Council Member Hernandez stated it had been an honor and a privilege to serve this community
for eight years as a council member and as a former Anaheim firefighter. He highlighted some
of the accomplishments he was particularly proud of such as the Dale McIntosh Business
Education Alliance (BEA) which brought businesses and the school districts together to
influence the curriculum offered to reflect the labor needs of the business community especially
in the area of technical education. THE BEA was thriving and one of the offshoots of that
program was a work experience program instituted at Loara High School to give students the
opportunity to have work experience before entering the workforce after graduation. He was
also proud of establishing a Latino Health Access program at Hermosa Village to improve the
lives of those residents through education and outreach and for adding another fire station to
the City as well as updating and improving Fire Station 6 on Euclid Street.
He thanked City staff and employees for their commitment to the City and to the commissioners
and board members for their participation as volunteers and the support they provided him. He
was thankful of the opportunity to work with Mayor Pringle, remarking with his involvement in the
California political arena and understanding of the political process, Mayor Pringle had the
ability to move things forward and make them happen. He thanked Council colleagues and
Anaheim citizens for their support.
Mayor Pringle remarked he was proud to be a part of Anaheim because it was a city in which
"things got done." He believed council's responsibility was to look at the bigger picture and plan
for the future and this was evidenced by a number of plans and projects underway. The
Platinum Triangle and its high density housing opportunities in progress would lessen the
overcrowded conditions in Anaheim and its associated impacts as more units were built over the
years. These 18,000 residential units would be located in a complete community and not
impact the broader community of single family homes. The water recycling demonstration
project which just broke ground was to plan for Anaheim's future water needs, recognizing that
water would be scarce and limited in southern California's future. He added Anaheim was the
only Orange County city preparing for this future eventuality. The same thing, he noted, was
true for transportation. This City was standing firm on many transportation projects, building
one of the largest intermodal train stations in southern California and in addressing an elevated
Guideway to connect the ARTIC to the stadium, resort and convention center. He added this
City was supporting high speed rail to get more people to visit Anaheim in the future and
increase revenues which helped pay for future services and allowed for expansion. Anaheim
was also focused on providing power to residents as cheaply as possible and toward that goal,
the City was building the largest power plant under construction in California today to address
future needs. Over the past eight years he added tremendous steps had been taken in this
direction.
He was a supporter of term limits, as it provided for time in which to make and achieve goals
and be content with leaving when the term ended. He added there would also be those with
skills and capabilities to step up and serve and the newly elected mayor, Tom Tait along with
Kris Murray and Gail Eastman would be here to serve the residents of Anaheim. He added he
trusted the system and the voters and with Council Members Galloway and Sidhu, there would
be a strong council for the people and he looked forward to welcoming them in December.
