A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was posted at 4:00 p.m. on
July 20, 1999 at the City Hall Bulletin Board, (both inside and outside the entrance to City Hall)
containing all items as shown herein.
Mayor Daly called the workshop portion of the Council Meeting of July 20, 1999 to order and welcomed
those in attendance especially noting those members of the Orange County Transportation Authority
( OCTA) who were present along with consultants (Lisa Mills, John Stantaford, OCTA and Allistair Bailey,
IBI Consultants). He also noted that Council Member Tait was on vacation this week and the reason for
his absence.
City Manager, James Ruth. This is a scheduled workshop for an update on proposed Centerline Urban
Rail System. He deferred to John Lower, the City’s Traffic and Transportation Manager who will make
the presentation.
CENTERLINE URBAN RAIL SYSTEM (PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT):
John Lower, Traffic and
Transportation Manager. This is the second workshop relating to the Centerline Urban Rail project
proposed by the OCTA, the 28-mile, first segment of an 87-mile rail system for the County. The four
areas to be covered are (1) review alternative alignments (of the system) in the City, (2) present staff
recommended evaluation criteria, (3) give the milestone decision points which culminate in the
December 7, 1999 locally preferred alternative resolution which will be coming to the Council for
consideration, and (4) traffic impacts and potential mitigation. It is important to note that land use
implications may redefine what is appropriate traffic impact mitigation. Relative to land use, although not
addressed in the presentation, Station Area Land use Action Plans will be presented for Council
consideration by resolution in mid-September. Staff has met with about 20 potentially affected property
owners and developers for their input to that action plan. It is clear from that process that there is much
interest in joint development opportunities. Mr. Lower then narrated a slide presentation, hard copies of
which were subsequently submitted to the Council (and made a part of the record). He
briefed/elaborated upon the following : Rail System Alternatives (Elevated Alternative, Street-Level
Alternative 1, Street Level Alternative 2, ( as depicted in the graphic presented – staff is suggesting a
combination of all three as a preferred alternative), ), Metrolink Commuter Rail and Optional Alignments,
Centerline Evaluation Criteria (also noting a change in the criteria as outlined in his June 29 memo to the
Council, “.and residential communities along the Centerline alignment”), Centerline Milestones
(discussion of Traffic Impacts and Mitigation, Chamber of Commerce Television Interview and Anaheim
Magazine Article, Station Area Land Use Action Plans, etc.,) leading to proposed adoption of a City
Council Resolution on the Locally Preferred Alternative on December 7, 1999 after which the OCTA
Board will make their decision whether to proceed with the project or not. He briefed Issues and
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES,
JULY 20, 1999
Potential Mitigation (of each issue) relative to alignments of the system through the following areas :
North City Limits to the Civic Center, (also showed typical mid-block cross-section on Anaheim
Boulevard, etc.), Civic Center to Cerritos Avenue, Resort Area, Cerritos Avenue to South City Limits,
and Cerritos Avenue to the South City Limits. He also addressed system-wide traffic issues.
Mr. Lower concluded his presentation with a slide – Which is Best? – (noting first, that although not
indicated, there is the no-build alternative), the Fully Elevated Alternative ( FEA), Street Level
Alternatives 1 and 2, and the Enhanced Bus Alternative. To assist in coming to an answer, he also
presented Construction Cost Comparisons noting first that the I-5 freeway widening through Anaheim (10
miles) is costing $1.10 billion dollars – Centerline Urban Rail Alternative costs – FEA (28 Miles), $1.86
billion; SLA 1 (27 miles), $1.28 billion, SLA 2 (28 miles), $1.50 billion, Enhanced Bus, $322 million.
(Mayor Daly requested copies of the slide presentation for the Council).
Mayor Daly. They have heard a summary of where the project stands and some of the questions that
remain regarding station locations and alignments and some of the traffic and pedestrian issues. It is
important to note that a number of the questions that existed months ago have either been solved or are
on their way to resolution including the important question of how to bring the lines as close as possible
to the Convention Center and Disneyland without impacting traffic at Harbor and Katella . It appears
staff, working with OCTA, has found a solution and they will probably hear more about that.
Council questions followed which were answered by Mr. Lower at the conclusion of which, Mayor Daly
thanked staff for the informative presentation and thanked the OCTA representatives and consultants for
being present at the workshop today.

ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA:
There were no additions to agenda items.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Margaret Patino , 1243 W. Laster , Anaheim. She first submitted a folder which contained a petition
(Residents in Favor of a Sound Wall Along the Edison Corridor) and photographs and then read a letter
into the record (which she subsequently submitted) relating to the material contained in the folder and the
subject of her request and that of her neighbors. The letter explained that she is acting as spokesperson
for the residents whose homes are located on the north side of Laster Ave. and south of the Jeffrey-
Lynne area. Their main concern is the corridor that separates their neighborhood from Jeffrey-Lynne,
the Edison Corridor, which allows noise to pass freely from that area to their area. The request in the
letter stated, “We would like your support in building an 8 to 10 foot sound wall where residential and
Edison property lines meet. A sound wall is needed since most of our properties facing Laster have the
original 5 foot high fences running along the back of our homes.” The letter elaborated on the concerns
(see listing attached to the letter – (1) loud amplified music, (2) children/young adults in the corridor, (3 )
screeching vehicles). She also referred to a letter she and her husband had previosly submitted dated
June 26, 1999 also elaborating on the issue. She further explained that she has spoken to City
departments about the matter. The residents would like the Council to consider their request and
whatever they can do to assist would be appreciated. She understands that the Edison Corridor is not an
issue that is going to be addressed in the Jeffrey-Lynne Revitalization Plan.

Mayor Daly. They will ask the City Manager to investigate the feasibility and the cost involved relative to
the request and to give his perspective, advice and recommendations.

Phyllis Mueller, employee and Member of the Anaheim Beautiful Board. Their organization has been
active in Anaheim for the past 20 year, their objective being, to make Anaheim a more beautiful place to
live. Among their projects is graffiti removal. Their organization was in contact with former State
Assemblyman, Jim Morrissey’s office where they were able to obtain a grant of $85,000 from
Assemblyman Morrissey. They subsequently raised about $13,000 through various fund-raising efforts
enabling between the grant and the latter funds the purchase of a state-of-the art graffiti removal van
which is parked outside the Council Chamber. The van contains a unit which matches the paint on the
wall which has been defaced by graffiti so that the wall paint is uniform instead of erratic. They are
present tonight to present the van to the City as a gift, but the City has to maintain it. They are happy to
have the partnership between a private non-profit organization and the City.
Mayor Daly thanked Ms. Mueller for calling their attention to the donation of the van. Hopefully, there will
be an opportunity after the meeting or in the next few days to tour the van. He believes there was a
demonstration in the past of the van’s apparatus and its capabilities. He again expressed thanks for
calling attention to it and to all Anaheim Beautiful Members for pressing for the funds and to former
Assemblyman, Jim Morrissey. As a resident of the City, it is one of his (Morrissey’s) legacies. He also
recognized John Poole, the City’s Code Enforcement Manager who has been at the center of the project.

Linda Lee Grau , 24 Morning Dove, Irvine. She reiterated her recurring theme of urging the Council to
allow Savas Roditis to serve the City with his taxi cabs.

George McLaren , 323 S. Indiana Street, Anaheim. Thanked the Council for installing the guard railing in
the Council Chamber (left of the dais) eliminating the possibility of tripping over the “blind” step.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Ray Torres, 5789 Avenida LaVida , Anaheim. He answered the concern expressed (by Ms. Grau). The
