A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was
posted at 11:45 a.m. on May 21, 1993 at the Civic Center kiosk, containing all
items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the adjourned regular meeting to order at 2:10 p.m.
161: JOINT MEETING CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION:
Chairman McMillan called the meeting to order.
Mayor Daly welcomed the commissioners, thanked them for their attendance and
explained the purpose of the regular, scheduled joint meetings to discuss
concerns, communicate new ideas and provide an opportunity for the
Commissioners to obtain guidance on issues from the City Council. The Mayor
solicited any comments from the commissioners prior to taking the items on the
agenda.
Commissioner Robert Linn suggested that the Community Redevelopment Commission
consider meeting twice a month instead of every week and that they consider
meeting in the evening to allow greater public access.
NEW PROJECT AREA UPDATE:
Executive Director Lisa Stipkovich reviewed the areas involved in the
Brookhurst Corridor and the Commercial/Industrial Project and noted that these
two projects are about half-way through the process to becoming redevelopment
project areas. Further public meetings are planned in June, July and August.
The EIR is in progress. The next step will be to conduct a formal public
hearing before the Community Redevelopment Commission and then with the
Agency, probably in the October/November time frame. Director Stipkovich
noted that although she has no idea yet what will happen from the taxing
agencies, the feedback from citizens and property owners relative to these
projects is positive.
Richard Bruckner commented that people are now recognizing the need for change
in their neighborhoods and welcoming proactive city intervention.
Redevelopment Commissioners Bostwick, Pinson and Linn commented on the
meetings held, and that there seemed to be a desire for the projects, as well
as real concern about crime and graffiti in these areas.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 25, 1993 - 5500 P.M.
STATE IMPACT ON REDEVELOPMENT FUNDS:
Lisa Stipkovich reported on the latest information received from Sacramento
concerning the impact of the State's "take" from Redevelopment Agencies.
Although originally they spoke of $200 million from all Redevelopment
Agencies in the State, this number has dropped to $65 million, so the impact
might be less this year, however it is still unclear as to whether this will
be a permanent financing mechanism for the State.
There are three aspects to this issue: (1) what the state budget will do to
the Agency; (2) reform legislation; and (3) potential litigation. Agency
staff and the City Attorney's Office are monitoring and reviewing all three
options.
NORTHEAST AREA SPECIFIC PLAN:
This is a part of Project Alpha on which the Commission and staff are working.
They are in the EIR process presently, and anticipate that the Commission and
Council will see the EIR for approval in August. This will create the
environmental clearance for the amendment. The changes proposed concern land
uses for the area and a transportation element. The entire plan amendment and
adoption process takes about two months, so the final specific plan will be
presented for adoption in approximately October of this year. There is
interest and support for the plan amendment from large propertyowners such as
Rockwell and Catellus. Another issue related to this area concerns the adult
entertainment ordinance. This is an area which may potentially allow the
adult entertainment uses, and they are reviewing the appropriateness of this,
whether or not it would hurt the image of the area and be antiproductive.
In response to Council Members, Richard Bruckner outlined the possible
locations for train stations which are in the area under discussion; one at
Tustin and the 91 Freeway, one which location is not settled yet, but would be
located before the 91 splits; and a third much further east in the Weir Canyon
area. The City's Traffic Engineer is looking at the distribution system which
would take people from the train stop to various destinations. This rail
service would assist businesses in meeting their AQMD requirements and is
therefore supported. Service is scheduled in 1995.
Executive Director Stipkovich outlined that the understanding is that the City
would agree to placement of the train station and it would be up to the City
to build, and to determine how to pay for it. Presently the consideration is
that Catellus would give the land and the City would use Redevelopment money
for one of the stations. There are no specific sites decided on the others as
yet.
Prior to going on to the next subject, Council Members and staff held a brief
discussion as to the traffic ingress and egress and circulation problems at
Cinemapolis.
ANAHEIM PLAZA UPDATE:
The new marketing packet was handed out. There is no decision as of yet as to
the major tenant. Calstrs ha~ gone forward however and deposited the funds
necessary for relocation of mall tenants, only two remain in the mall. Staff
is still confident that the required 70% lease will be reached, and that
demolition will take place in August.
Another issue relating to the Anaheim Plaza has to do with the I-5 temporary
southbound on ramp at Lincoln Avenue. Discussions have been held as to
whether or not the City would be reimbursed for installing this improvement,
but there is no assurance of this as of yet.
347
City Eallr Anaheimr California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 25, 1993 - S:O0 P.M.
Commissioner Renee Lopez questioned whether Anaheim-based firms could be more
involved in the Redevelopment project business, i.e., the firms which prepare
EIR's, do planning, engineering, etc., could the City give them some
preference on their project contracts.
Jack White indicated it may be possible on some agreements and projects, not
on public works projects. He will review this and advise on what the law.
allows.
ANAHEIM CENTER SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAMc
Lisa Stipkovich thanked both the Commission and Agency Members for
recommending and approving this Program. This is intended to assist small
businesses in the downtown area. They may obtain a $100,000 maximum loan at
5% interest to be used for tenant improvements. It is earmarked for existing
buildings.
POST OFFICE LOCATIONS:
Executive Director Stipkovich reported on attempts to communicate with the
U.S. Post Office about relocation of both the downtown and the Loara
locations. She advised that this has essentially been nonproductive due to
changes in staff, the Dana Point shootings and generally inability to work
with the bureaucracy. However, Redevelopment is interested in relocating the
post office and providing a new building. In the case of the Loara Station it
might even be incorporated into the north end of the Anaheim Plaza project.
At the conclusion of discussion it was determined that both the Mayor and the
Executive Director would continue to talk to the U.S. Postal Service about
these locations.
EVENING MEETINGS FOR REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION:
Mayor Daly commented on this issue that he felt the policy which the
Commission presently follows, meeting in the daytime, but if there is
community interest holding evening hearings, is a good balance. He would
also concur with the frequency of meetings being twice a month rather than
weekly.
Commissioner Lopez noted that he originally brought a motion to change the
frequency and time of the meetings, as he felt evening meetings would provide
better access for the public. He also thinks that the more input received by
the Commission, the better their recommendations to the Council/Agency. Most
of the Anaheim c~tizens work during the day and therefore either late
afternoon or evening would serve them better.
The remainder of the Council Members indicated they felt meeting times should
be determined by the Commission members.
HOUSING ISSUES:
Commissioner Lopez commented that there are some housing opportunities in the
Citron area as Orange County Community Housing wants to purchase some
buildings, and as this is in a Redevelopment Area and although he is the
representative of the Commission along with Mr. Linn, he was not aware that
the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency is sharing the cost through a second mortgage
program.
Lisa Stipkovich responded that since there is a Housing Commission which acts
as the advisory board for housing issues, usually that is where she has looked
348'
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 25, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
for recommendations on affordable projects. The project Commissioner Lopez is
referring to is also outside of the Redevelopment Project area.
Ms. Stipkovich suggested that such items could be submitted to the
Redevelopment Commission as informational items. The staff is proud of what
they are doing with affordable projects and could on an annual basis present
information and give updates as to how the housing set aside is being spent.
Commissioner Lopez indicated he thought if Redevelopment money ie being spent
in non-redevelopment projects he wants to be in the information loop.
Mayor Daly agreed that it would be beneficial for the Commissioners to know
about affordable housing projects in Anaheim, and how they are being funded.
Having completed discussion on the eight items listed on the Joint Meeting
Agenda, Mayor Daly asked if there were any other issues the Commission would
care to address.
Commissioner Renner introduced the subject of homelessness and the possibility
of a homeless shelter and/or camp.
Council Members indicated that there are many on-going programs supported by
local non-profit agencies which are working on this issue.

Cl. COUNCIL COMMENTS:
153: PRIVATIZATION:
Mayor Daly noted that the City Council Members had received a staff report
updating the City's privatization efforts, and that some are still being
studied, some are being actively pursued and a third group no longer under
active consideration. He feels one category of operations which the City
should be reviewing for privatization is the two city-operated golf courses,
and that staff should process requests for bids to privatize the golf courses.
City Manager Jim Ruth responded that the City has engaged a consultant, ERA,
(Economic Research Associates) to conduct a feasibility study on this issue
since a Council majority had previously indicated they were not interested in
privatization of golf courses. The ERA report is close to being complete, and
will be coming back to the Council. He noted that the golf operations are
presently transferring out over one million dollars. ERA will evaluate how
competitive the City operation would be in the private sector.
Mayor Daly commented that he felt the way to go about finding out how
competitive the City is would be by advertising and reviewing the bids,
however since the ERA report is that close to completiqn, it is reasonable for
Council to wait and see what the report says.
Council Member Pickler indicated that in addition to having this ERA report he
would also like a full Council present for discussion prior to giving
direction to the City Manager on this issue.
139: OPPOSING STATE LEGISLATURE PAY RAISES:
Council Member Feldhaus commented on the issue of pay raises for the State
Legislature and it was noted that a letter opposing was sent, additionally IGR
Manager Kris Thalman will take a resolution in opposition to the League of
Cities.

Council Member Feldhaus reported on his recent trip to Anaheim's Sister City,
