SUMMARY: The Woman's Club of Orange made a donation of $750.00 on November
17,2003 to the City to assist in the refurbishment of the EI Camino Real Bells located on
Main Street and Chapman Avenue. The work is complete and the Public Works
Department is requesting the donation be utilized for the purchase of two commemorative
bronze plaques.
Discussion
Mayor pro tern Cavecche wanted to clarify that the $750 donation was for part of the
refurbishment of the bells and not for the plaques, as the Staff Report was unclear on that
Issue.
Mr. Harry Thomas, Public Works Director, pointed out the plaques will recognize the
Woman's Club and Americoat for their efforts in the refurbishment of the bells; and the
plaques will cost approximately $300.
Councilmember Alvarez stated he appreciated the donations and the work by both the
Woman's Club and Americoat, but asked why their names were going on a plaque, as
most plaques do not have business names.
Councilmember Coontz stated the plaques were sent to the Council Committee,
comprised of her and Councilmember Alvarez, for review. She approved them and was
under the impression that Councilmember Alvarez had also approved them.

3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
Councilmember Alvarez stated he did not approve the placement of the names on the
plaques and would prefer to recognize them in a different manner; and suggested staff
look at the appropriateness ofthe plaques.
Mayor Murphy pointed out the action is to accept and recognize the donation, but is not a
final determination for the plaques; and suggested the Committee reconvene and
reconsider this.
Councilmember Coontz noted plaques which recognize donations from the community
typically have the community organizational name on them; and this was a significant
donation from the Woman's Club. She suggested this could be discussed separately; but
noted it was the understanding from the beginning that the organizations would be
recognized on the plaques.
Mr. John Sibley, Assistant City Manager, noted the plaques have not yet been made, but
the order is pending; and reiterated the donation was made with the intent that both the
Woman's Club and Americoat would be recognized on the plaque.
Councilmember Alvarez recommended the organizations be recognized in a different
manner.

REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS
TAPE 1180
5.1 Mayor pro tern Cavecche - Report on Vector Control District Benefit Assessment.
(ORI800.0.3.20)
Mayor pro tern Cavecche asked the Council to provide her input prior to her voting on a
proposed Vector Control District Assessment. She reported the Vector Control Board is
planning to vote on whether to put an assessment tax adjustment before the voters which will
propose an assessment increase from $1.92 to $5.66 per parcel, per year. As this time, the
District is running on a $300,00 deficit for current operations; and if there is no assessment
increase, next year the District's operation deficit will be $1.5 million. This increase is due in
part to the proposed property tax swap proposed at the State level as well as the increase in the
West Nile Virus population. If additional revenue is not generated, the District will have to
reduce basic operations by 25%; and the District would still be 8% below the average based on a
survey of other Agencies.
She has not made a final decision on the vote, but is leaning towards voting Yes, as this is a
public health issue; and private industry is not interested in providing these services.
Ted Reynolds, Assistant City Attorney, indicated Councilmembers can individually contact
Mayor pro tern Cavecche with their input during the next week.
Councilmember Coontz pointed out that the West Nile Virus is carried by mosquitoes and
mosquito control is the primary line of defense against human infection. The report from the
District notes that the District has $5 million in reserve for mosquito control but they are taking
over $800,000 out of the $5 million to pay for the ballot issue. The report also notes there is not
enough money in the mosquito control reserves which is more of a danger than the Red Fire
Ants; She asked Mayor pro tern Cavecche to look into this as she questioned the use of the
money, and suggested the District needs to be moving more into the issue of mosquitoes.
Mayor pro tern Cavecche noted it is a misconception that there are $5 million in reserves. That
money, which comes from property taxes, is received only twice a year and most of it is
allocated. There is actually unallocated cash reserves of $1.8 million. Without the benefit
assessment, the District will not be able to perform even the current level of mosquito abatement,
let alone that which is needed to combat the West Nile Virus.
PAGE 9
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
April 13, 2004
Councilmember Alvarez recommended that a cost of living adjustment be looked at; and
programs such as the Red Fire Ant and West Nile Virus need to be more global rather than just at
the County level.
6. REPORTS FROM BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND COMMISSIONS - None.
7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
7.1 Report from Fire Operations Chief on appropriation of funds for Fire Station 8
(Cannon Street at Carver Lane) - permanent building. (C2500.H)

to build a permanent Fire Station at 5725 E. Carver Lane (current site of temporary Fire Station
8).
John Sibley, Assistant City Manager, provided a report.
MOTION - Coontz
SECOND - Alvarez

FISCAL IMPACT: The entire $160,000 will be funded from the refinancing of the Serrano
Heights CFD 91-2 bond. The remaining $1,870,000 will be appropriated as a capital

LEGAL AFFAIRS
TAPE 1630
9.1 ORDINANCE NO. 7-04 (SECOND READING) (A2500.0 ORD-7-04 PARKING)
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Orange amending Sections 8.04.020, 17.04.035
and 17.14.090 of the Orange Municipal Code regulating the parking and storage ofrecreational
vehicles.
Discussion
Mayor Murphy noted a memo had been received with a recommendation from staff to continue
this item for a full Council.
Ted Reynolds, Assistant City Attorney, noted that should the Ordinance fail to be adopted
because of an absent Councilmember, a Councilmember could make a motion at the next
meeting to bring the item back for reconsideration.
PAGE 10
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
April 13, 2004
9. LEGAL AFFAIRS (Continued)
Councilmember Alvarez stated that he could not agree to a continuation just because
Councilmember Ambriz chose not to be at the meeting. The memo from staff makes the
assumption that the Council will not change their mind from the previous vote; noting the
Council can vote any way they want at any time, and Councilmembers have changed their vote
in the past. There are also residents in the audience who have come to the meeting for a
decision; and the decision should be made.
Councilmember Coontz reported that traditionally, items were continued if there was not a full
Council present for a controversial issue, regardless of the reason for not being present. Items
have been continued for other reasons and it would be an honorable thing to do to continue this
item.
Mayor Murphy noted that not agreeing to a continuance could delay the issue for another four
weeks should a Councilmember ask to bring the item back for reconsideration. A continuation
would be a prudent use of the process to make a final determination in the most expeditious
manner; and would give each Councilmember an opportunity to speak to the issue.
Mayor pro tern Cavecche stated she was concerned that a change is being made in policy just
because of the original vote on this issue. She agreed with Councilmember Alvarez in not
wanting to postpone the vote, but would agree to the continuance so as not to delay it an
additional two weeks.
