A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was
posted at 3:40 p.m. on August 20, 1993 at the Civic Center kiosk, containing
all items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the workshop portion of the meeting of August 24, 1993 to
order at 3:10 p.m., all Council Members being present with the exception of
Council Member Hunter.
135: GOLF OPERATIONS:
City Manager James Ruth. As Council is aware, staff prepared a' comprehensive
report on privatization last year which had two primary objectives - the first
was to study the issue of privatization as a possible long-term efficiency
program that would benefit the City and secondly to identify the specific
areas for further analysis where savings may be achieved without impacting
service levels. The task force found that the City has 343 contracts for
various ongoing functions totalling approximately 126 million dollars
annually. Using the criteria outlined in the report, the task force concluded
that a number of additional services including the City's golf courses
warranted additional study and a detailed analysis. Last May, the City
entered into a contract with ERA (Economic Research Associates). The final
report completed last month includes a number of options available to the City
with respect to privatization as well as an evaluation of the current
operation. He will be introducing Mr. Gene Krekorian, Senior Vice President
of ERA to present the overview. He first introduced members of the Golf
Course Advisory Commission who were present in the Chamber audience - Chairman
Ed Kline, Jerry LeMar and Jim Riley. Staff members Chris Jarvi, Director of
Parks, Recreation and Community Services; Jack Kudron, Parks Superintendent;
Dave Morgan, Assistant City Manager; and Bill Sweeney, Budget and Audit
Manager are present to respond to any questions. He then introduced
Mr. Krekorian to present a brief overview of the report prepared by his firm.
(See report entitled "Evaluation of Anaheim Hills and HG "Dad" Miller Golf
Course operating Options" prepared for the City of Anaheim, July, 1993 - ERA
Project #10785.)
Mr. Gene Krekorian, Senior Vice President, ERA, 10990 Wilshire Blvd., Suite
1600, Los Angeles. He was principally retained to review the current
operations and evaluate operating options. The City is currently responsible
for maintenance of the golf courses and selected other functions but uses
concessionaires for the operation of food and beverage and for the pro shop,
driving range and cart rental operations. The City retains the responsibility
for maintenance. He then reviewed some of the highlights of the study which
covered a summary of the findings, golf market overview, facility description
and operations overview, golf course operating options and projected financial
performance. He noted that the existing concessionaire agreements with food
604
City Ha!l, Anahe£m, Cal£forn£a - COUNCIL MINUTES - &UGUST 24, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
and beverage operators and golf operations are somewhat unusual in the field.
Most of these types of concessionaire agreements deal off percentages of gross
revenue of return to the City. The City's agreements are structured
substantially differently. In general, they found the concessionaires are
performing quite well and it does not appear that there are any major
conflicts. Service levels both from golf operations and food and beverage
appear to be high. The quality of maintenance and customer service quality in
general is quite high. In some cases, the condition of the facilities warrant
some attention which he explained. In general, the cost of operation for the
City is somewhat higher than it would be for the private sector. Most of that
is attributable to the wage and benefit scale that the City maintains which is
somewhat higher than prevails in the private sector. The courses are
generating a fair amount of net cash flow. Next year the transfer to the
General Fund will be close to 1.2 million averaging about $600,000 per course.
For courses operating like this with concessions, but with City maintenance,
that is attractive and reflects a successful operation.
Mr. Krekorian then showed three slides and briefed each in detail (the slides
were later submitted to the Council in hard copy and made a part of the
record). Exhibit A showed Golf Course Operating Options (full City operation,
current concessionaire agreements, turnkey facility lease, golf operations
concessionaire, service contracts); Exhibit B - Stable Year Annual Net Cash
Flow (baseline current operations, golf operations/City maintenance, turnkey
facility lease, service contract for the "Dad" Miller and Anaheim Hills
Course) and, Exhibit C - Considerations in Selecting Appropriate Option
listing ten such considerations.
Extensive discussion followed on questions posed by Mayor Daly and Council
Members regarding the following issues and related matters: Providing for
capital improvements, status of the lease with the County for the "Dad" Miller
Course property, general decline in rounds of play throughout Southern
California due to the economic situation, mix of play at Anaheim's courses,
Anaheim's competition now and in the future including the impact of driving
ranges currently being built, rate structure, possible revenues involved with
either a service contract or turnkey contract, etc.
Questions were answered by Mr. Krekorian and City Manager Ruth as well as Bill
Sweeney, Budget and Audit Manager and Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks,
Recreation and Community Services.
At the conclusion of discussion, Council Member Feldhaus referred to a
statement made by Chris Jarvi in a cover letter wherein he stated if he had an
opportunity to do so, he could make changes in the operation which would
increase revenue to exceed the $332,000 additional income under the service
contract.
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services. That is
correct. They have done a preliminary analysis and have committed as part of
the budget process to bring in an additional $300,000 through a variety of
different techniques which they have identified. There may be some others
that can apply as well. Right off the top, there is about $150,000 as a
result of putting the golf operation into the Parks budget. The City has not
realized that savings yet. They believe they can bring in an additional
revenue by the end of the year. He confirmed they are projecting
approximately 1.5 million dollars.
605
C£t¥ Hall~ Anahe:i.~ Cal£~orn£a - COUNCIL ~INUTE~ - AUOUST 24~ 1993 - ~:00 P.M.
Bill Sweeney, Budget and Audit Manager. There is a transfer of $1,330,000 in
cash at the present time; Mr. Jarvi stated including the $300,000. That is
his commitment at this point.
Bill Sweeney. It will be about another $100,000. The actual cash is
1.3 million and by the time the overhead is added, it will be over 1.4 million
in reimbursements back to the City.
After additional questions posed to Mr. Krekorian by Mayor Daly, City Manager
Ruth stated that Mr. Krekorian has covered the report well. What he would
like to mention and it is a very subjective point relates to the
imponderables. When building a staff and the community relations they
establish as well as the good rapport with the golf clientele, that brings
people back to the course. Staff and the concessionaires at both operations
have done a tremendous job with that over the years. As a result, they have
benefitted as a City in terms of the amount of tournaments they have
encouraged to play in the City and the day-to-day play. It is not reflected
in the report because it is very subjective but something to consider - the
kind of relationship staff and the concessionaires have with the golf
community and the benefits that accrue to the City.

ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Sharon Ericson, President, AMEA. She referred to the coming layoffs of the
Convention Center Floor Custodians. She then explained in detail the
situation surrounding the layoffs concluding that in her opinion, the
Convention Center is top heavy in management positions and much more money
could be saved by merging functions and eliminating some of the high-paid
management positions instead of custodians. The employees she represents are
"sick to death" of bearing the brunt of cuts in the City. As of September 9,
there will be 36 positions lost in the Parks Department over the past three
years. Her people serve the City. She feels the City has a real problem with
its priorities.

A15. 123: Approving an agreement with Hughes, Heiss & Associates in the
amount of $12,000 (plus expenses not to exceed $6,500) to conduct a
recruitment for Chief of Police, and authorizing the City Manger to execute

Sharon Ericson, President, AMEA. The subject agreement does not account for
the job bulletins that will be distributed as well which will cost over
$13,000 (later corrected to $1,300). If there is no money in the budget, she
asked why the Human Resources Department could not do the recruitment. The
City is constantly paying consultants when there is staff that can do the job.
If Human Resources cannot conduct a recruitment like this, she would ask that
they look to contracting out that part of Human Resources.
Council Member Feldhaus. He has a problem with the recommendation that they
pay traveling expenses for the final interview.
City Manager Ruth. That cost may not be necessary. Prior to any expenditure
of those funds, they would come back to the Council and request those funds if
necessary. The funds may not be needed at all.
Al6. 139: Receiving and filing Resolution No. 6504 from the City of
Huntington Beach supporting federal legislation ending the practice of
imposing unfunded federal mandates on Local and State Governments and to
ensure that the Federal government pays the costs incurred by those
Governments in complying with certain requirements under federal statues and
regulations.
A17. 129: Approving a request for funds from City Reserves to complete
replacement of underground fuel tank at Fire Station #8, and appropriating

A18. 150: Approving a partial fee waiver for the Anaheim Pop Warner Football
use of La Palma Park-Glover Stadium for their opening ceremonies and carnival
August 27-29, 1993.
Submitted was report dated August 16, 1993 from Chris Jarvi, Director of
Parks, Recreation and Community Services recommending a partial fee waiver for
the subject use but that the direct cost associated with the event be
recovered by appropriate fees.
Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He is recommending that the Council
vote no. He does not feel the City can afford to waive City fees to pay for
the cost of service provided.
Council Member Pickler. He feels they will be o~ening a "Pandora's box" if
this is approved questioning how they can approve a fee waiver for one group
without doin~ ~ha ~ama for ~h~ many group§ who may
Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services. This is
something that staff struggled with. It is an unusual request in that they
are using Glover Stadium. It is a general rental that most user groups do not
ask for. It is a sports festival and a first time event for Pop Warner
conducted as a fund-raising activity. It does open the door but they do not
get very many requests along these lines.
Council Member Feldhaus. It is a public park. If they are a non-profit
organization, he does not feel they need to charge the fees. It has been done
611
City Rail, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - AUGUST 24, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
in the past; Council Member Pickler. That is the point. It has not been done
in the past and once started it will be difficult to say no.
Mayor Daly. He noticed that Pop Warner has paid up front for the cost of
police service for the event. He asked Mr. Jarvi if there was something
additional about this event that prompted him to propose waiving the fees when
in another case he might not.
Chris Jarvi. He reiterated this case is something that does not happen very
often - an organization wanting to take over a facility that big. There is a
high cost and it would take away a lot of the fund-raising ability due to
those costs. They felt in this case there was something that could be waived.
The organization is reimbursing the City for all hard cost plus the police
cost. He explained for Council Member Pickler if in the future it became too
common an occurrence, he would reconsider his approach to such requests. He
emphasized this is a very unique situation.
City Manager Ruth. It will not cost the City money. It is necessary to look
at such requests on an individual basis. This organization is serving
hundreds of kids in the community and saving taxpayer's money by keeping them
in a very healthy environment.
Council Member Pickler. He again reiterated his concerns noting that many
organizations have approached the City relative to waiving fees and the
Council says no. He is concerned if they start saying yes, it will be
difficult to say no to other groups. If they are going to waive fees for one
organization then they should do it for all. He does not want to say no to
certain organizations and yes to others.
Al9. 123: Approving the Agreements with ENRON Gas Services/ACCESS Energy to
supply gas to the City of Anaheim and other members of the Gas Cooperative at

electricity, Program 6266, by $985,000 and reducing debt service,
Program 6500, by $985,000.
Mayor Daly. Relative to the proposal by the Public Utilities staff and the
City Manager to lower the City's electric rate to industrial rate payers, he
wants to commend and praise the City Manager and Public Utilities General
Manager and all staff involved for keeping their commitment to the City
Council, the business community of Anaheim and to the industrial rate payers
to lower the rates. It was a commitment made a few months ago when they last
considered electric rates citywide.

Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. Relative to the storm drain bonds, he
knows there has been a lot of activity lately to help the City budget in the
area of refinancing. There was no mention in the background material whether
these bonds might be eligible for refinancing or a lower interest rate.

Council Member Pickler. This item is very important to Anaheim and the City
should be involved. It is essential that the Council be apprised of what will

To consider the proposed allocation of public funds for the purpose of paying

construction of, certain buildings and other public improvements, public
building to wit, City Hall West and appurtenant improvements, a portion of

interest in the subject property at the end of the lease term, pursuant to the

and the Agency (the "Lease/Option").
Submitted was report dated August 24, 1993 from the Community Development
Department recommending certain actions relative to the subject including
approving a first amendment of cooperation agreement for City Hall West in
approving a lease with option to purchase for City Hall West.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:

Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. She briefed the
information contained in the August 24, 1993 staff report and subsequently
answered questions posed by Agency/Council Members. They are asking the
Agency/Council to enter into a lease agreement allowing the Redevelopment
Agency to pay for their share of the building by paying for construction costs
directly.
Chairman/Mayor Daly opened the public hearing and asked to hear from those who
wished to speak; there being no response, he closed the public hearing.
Eleanor Egan, Assistant City Attorney. She noted there is a modification to
Page 3 of Resolution No. 93R-179 making certain findings with respect to City
Hall West thus requiring an additional finding which is not a matter of
Redevelopment law but the City Charter. Since the option to purchase is
basically a sale at this point, it should be approved by the Council in
accordance with Charter Section 1222 which requires the City Council, before
selling any City property worth $50,000 or more, to make a finding that the
sale, lease, etc., is in the best interest of the City. That additional
finding has been added on Page 3 of the resolution and the Council has been
provided with a copy of the suggested language.
Council Member Daly moved that the language proposed to be changed in
Resolution 93R-179 as articulated by the City Attorney be incorporated into
the document. Council Member Pickler seconded the motion. Council Member
Hunter was absent. MOTION CARRIED.

Mayor Daly asked to hear from the applicant.
APPL! CANT
STATEM~
Donald Jeanson, 2307 Manchester Avenue, Anaheim. He is
requesting the parking variance precipitated by a relocation
of a kitchen and dining room facility within the building.
When they came to the City and staff did some research, they
found that item was overlooked ten years ago when the
property was originally built. They did a parking study and
have staff approval. He is requesting that the variance be
granted and they look forward to being a good neighbor in
the downtown area.
Mayor Daly. Not directly related to the application but the matter has come
up regarding the downtown redevelopment area - does the owner of the building
have any plans to modernize the appearance of the building on the frontage on
Lincoln.
Donald Jeanson. They have recently repainted the building and looked at the
possibility of re-skinning it but it will cost~$255,000 to do so. They are
n0~ prepared ~0 ma~e ~ha~ £nves~men~ a~ ~his time. They had an architect do
elevation treatments where they would improve the border around the windows to
give them some relief. They are studying that aspect but have no immediate
plans.
Council Member Pickler. He suggests that they possibly work with
Redevelopment to see if there is something that can be done; Mayor Daly.
Redevelopment has an architect on retainer who may be able to contribute iow
cost ideas.
Donald Jeanson. He asked if there was any facility for a facade lease where
they could get some contributions from the Redevelopment Agency.

to speak; there being no response he closed the public hearing.

C2. COUNCIL COMMENTS:
114: NOTIFICATION - ABSENCE FROM COUNCIL MEETINGS:
Council Member Pickler. He feels when a Council Member is going to be absent
from a meeting that it is only common courtesy for that member to notify the
City Clerk of such an absence. It is necessary for the other Council Members
to know whether or not one of their colleagues will not be present since there
622
C£t¥ Hall~ ~uahe~a, Cal£forn:i.a - COUNCIL MINUTES - AUGUST 24, 1993 - 5:00 P.M.
are some items of business that require the presence of all Council Members in
making a decision. He suggested that Council Member Hunter be notified that
in the future if he is going to be absent, that a call be made to the City
Clerk.
114: OPPOSITION TO S.B. 1234:
Council Member Simpson reported on his trip to Sacramento yesterday to testify
in opposition to S.B. 1234 (Bergeson) which would escrow certain of the City's
funds, in fact, almost $50,000,000 worth of the City's funds, in an effort to
get the legislature to talk about a realignment of the physical relationship
principle between cities and the legislature. They became alarmed that that
amount of money would only leave enough money in the City budget to fund
public safety and not even the ability to borrow money on TRAN issues to get
the City from April to December. Clearly, it was necessary to take a position
in opposition. The trip was worthwhile. The bill did not get out of
committee.
Mayor Daly. They had talked briefly about preparing a letter to Senator
Bergeson which would point out in detail her bill is a "carrot and stick"
approach. While they appreciate the goal of her bill, there are some
provisions in it which penalize the cities if the State does not accomplish
the realignment which is totally unfair. If they could lay that out in a
letter to her that would be a good idea; Council Member Simpson encouraged
that they do that.
135: GOLF OPERATIONS - WORKSHOP DISCUSSION:
Mayor Daly. A workshop was held this afternoon on City Golf Course
operations. He believes there are some very good potential revenue
enhancements to the City budget if they pursue some of the courses outlined in
the consultant's study. They do not have a full Council this evening. At
least one Council Member expressed to him (Daly) a desire to gather more
information. He will hold any proposal this evening. The workshop was
informative and he appreciates all the material presented to them by the
consultant and the City Manager. He is looking forward to more discussion on
the Golf Course operation when the Council returns after Labor Day.
ADJOURNMENT: By general Council consensus the City Council meeting was
adjourned, all Council Members being present with the exception of Council
Member Hunter. (7:10 p.m.)
The next scheduled City Council meeting is Tuesday, September 14, 1993.
