ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Sammy Do, 1165 S. Laramie St., Anaheim, CA 92806. She works as a registered nurse and has lived
in and raised her three teenagers in Anaheim. She is asking the Council’s help to improve the City.
When gardeners work and clean the yards in Anaheim, they use blowers which do not capture the debris
but merely scatter it. She has asked her gardener and her neighbor’s gardener not to use a blower but to
sweep up the debris and use a trash can. She is asking that the Council help her so that gardeners,
instead of blowing, sweep up the trash which will decrease the level of noise and keep the air clean
instead of polluting it. The blowers are used throughout the City and in front of public buildings and the
dust and debris is distributed all over. She believes that the City of Los Angeles has a law against
blowers and she is asking the City and the County not to use blowers.
Mayor Daly. He reported that some cities in Orange County do ban the use of leaf blowers.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Rob Conrad. He is present on behalf of his mother who lives at 612 Marjan, Anaheim. She has
submitted a claim against the City dealing with the tree in front of her yard owned by the City, the roots of
which entered her sewage pipe in October of 1996. It cost $327+ to have the roots removed and in the
documentation which has been submitted to the City, the plumber stipulated that he recognized the roots
of the tree caused the problem. He is present to request full reimbursement to his mother since the roots
belonged to the City and caused the problem.
Mayor Daly. The City has an established procedure for such claims and it is not an unusual one. It is in
the hands of the City’s Risk Management Department which reports directly to the City Manager’s Office.
If his mother filled out the proper paperwork, she can expect to get a response in the next few weeks.
Mr. Conrad reported that the incident occurred in October, paperwork was submitted at that time but
rejected because it was not filled out properly. The second submittal was made on January 13, 1997;
City Attorney White stated that there should be a response within 45 days.

CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 28, 1997
Mr. Conrad explained that Dave Nunley and Tom Vance in the Risk Management Office recommended
that he come to the Council meeting tonight since they are already prepared to deny the claim.
City Attorney White then explained the City’s procedure relative to claims that are submitted at the
conclusion of which, Mr. Conrad assumed then that his appearance was premature. He suggested that
Mr. Nunley and Vance should be informed because they recommended he appear tonight.
Mayor Daly stated they have not seen the claim nor the staff recommendation. Hundreds of claims are
filed against the City and are processed by City staff and subsequently come before the Council. The
claim is not on the agenda this evening but is in the hands of staff. There is a regular process; it is
taxpayer’s money and it is a carefully done process.
Mr. Conrad emphasized that both Mr. Vance and Nunley should be so instructed so he would not have
had to come to the meeting tonight.
Mayor Daly. They will ask the City Manager to clarify that instruction to City staff.

Mayor Daly. Last Saturday (January 25, 1997), the Council had a “retreat” (Budget Workshop) to focus
on the City’s finances in the next 5-10 years. He thanked City Manager Ruth and staff for laying out in a
clear and what he believes a very conservative fashion, projections for the coming years in terms of
revenues the City expects to have available as well as some of the demands on services. It was very
informative and helpful in terms of focusing the City Council on what opportunities are available in the
coming years as well as the challenges of accomplishing all the Public Works package which is
enormous and involves a lot of private investment as well as public investment over the next few years.
It was a very good summary which the Council will be using for the basis of their decision making in
coming months.
