He added that he felt the existing scoreboard was very old and there were other functions at the Convention Center that would benefit from a new board.

He said the Big West Conference was committed for three years. He said all of the investments at the Convention Center were treated in a business like manner and if they could make money by investing money in equipment, they would. He explained the other events that would have the need for a scoreboard.

Council Member Kring said she would vote yes on the purchase, noting it was an asset of the taxpayers and as fiduciaries of the City's finances, it was incumbent on Council to make sure the City's buildings were in the best shape possible. Council Member Feldhaus added for the last six yeare, the Convention Center had not had to pull from the General Fund and it was an asset of the City, which must be maintained and he added he would support the purchase of the new scoreboard. Mayor Daly added that his concern was his not being aware of the City's future promotion of the arena at the convention center and when the item first came to Council it was for the purchase of a scoreboard for a college tournament.

Request for Rehearing submitted by James Parkin on behalf of Gregory Parkin. Mayor Daly moved to deny the request for rehearing, seconded by Council Member McCracken. Council Member Kring referred to a handout "Anaheim Collaboration To Assist Motel Families", which is available in the City Clerk's Office. She noted the information CITY OF ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19, 2000 PAGE 20 requested Council reconsider the Covered Wagon Motel and the Lincoln Motel because of the impact of the 30 day move out requirement. She said she would vote for a rehearing. Council Member Feldhaus noted that the owner was given a one-year continuance and he was not sure why he requested a rehearing. City Attorney White clarified that there may have been some confusion under the Public Comment area of the agenda and if Council wished to exercise their three minute right, understanding this was not a public hearing, the Mayor could allow that. Regarding Item B10, Frank Weiser, attorney for property owner Sumanbhai Patel, said he had presented a letter explaining the request for rehearing. Mayor Daly said that public comments had been called for earlier in the meeting. City Attorney White said that if Council did not wish to take comments he did not believe they had to. Mr. Weiser said he had submitted a rehearing request and under the City's code, it would be a statutory entitlement and they would have an oppodunity to express their views as to why there should be a rehearing. Mayor Daly said the Council had already voted on Item B 10 and City Attorney White said Council was not required to take comments at this time, decided on the declaration that's in the record. Mr. Weiser said the nature of the request was rather extraordinary. Mayor Daly said his request for rehearing was submitted. Regarding Item B 11, Gregory Parkin, attorney for Covered Wagon Motel, said it was his understanding that they were to defer their public comments until the time that the matter was brought before Council. He explained that it seemed to him the Mayor was calling for comments only on the A item podion of the agenda. That was why he did not comment on a B item. City Attorney White clarified that a request for a rehearing was decided on the written material submitted with the application for rehearing, not upon comments. The comment period was at 5:00 PM, the agenda stated that anyone wishing to comment on any item on the agenda, with exception of public hearings, was to speak at that time. He said he did not believe the Council was required to take additional comments at this time, but they had discretion to do so. Mayor Daly asked Mr. Parkin if he wished to take three minutes he might do so. Gregory Parkin, attorney for the Covered Wagon Motel, said the last time he appeared before Council, a discussion took place regarding low cost housing and a recent article '[l' I CITY OF ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19, 2000 PAGE 21 in the paper noted Disney would be hiring thousands of people, paying minimum wage, and he said there would be more low income families seeking housing. He said the people living in motels now could not find housing and it would be worse with more people. He referred to the Collaboration's recommendation against the 30~90 day situation, commenting that they requested compliance standards be equitably applied and that motel owners are treated favorably when compliance was achieved and sustained. On page two, he read, "While we support the City's efforts to clean up or close down motels not in compliance with basic health and safety codes, the Collaboration cannot at this time support the imposition of the 30 days in 90 days on motels that have otherwise complied with City demands." Mr. Parkin said, as the Council remembers, there were no code violations and calls for service were really down. He continued to read from page 2, "these motels provide safe temporary housing for families who would otherwise be on the streets or in other more "seedy" motels." He asked that Council reconsider, based on the influx of 7,000 additional people. He said that the Covered Wagon did not have anyone, other than employees, that had been there a year. He suggested a six-month compromise might work, but no one would be able to accomplish it within 30~90 days. Mayor Daly remarked that there was a motion and a second to deny the request for rehearing (see page 19). Hearing no further comments, the vote was: Ayes: 3 - Mayor Daly, Council Members Feldhaus, McCracken. Noes: 2 - Council Members Kring, Tail. Motion carried. Mayor Daly requested a staff analysis and comments on the correspondence from the Anaheim Collaboration To Assist Motel Families, dated May 12, 2000. BI2.

CITY OF ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19, 2000 PAGE 22 Mayor Daly said he was inclined to refuse the rehearing request, having had the evidence and noting the Planning Commission denied the project.
