5. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS
5.1 Mayor pro tem Cavecche - Status Report on Boarding House Task Force. (A2500.0
Ord-Ol-06 Boardiug & Lodging Houses) TAPE 1924
STAFF REPORT SUMMARY: City Council directed that City staff representing various
departments be assembled to review overcrowding problems and what steps could be taken to
relieve overcrowded conditions, especially in single family neighborhoods. The consensus was:
1) While overcrowding does cause problems in a few neighborhoods, the problem is not
widespread; 2) Where there are violations, voluntary compliance is almost always achieved; 3)
There are situations that are perceived as overcrowded by neighbors, but don't violate any laws;
and 4) There are some additional regulations that will be proposed to the City Council to address
overcrowding.
Discussion - City Attorney, David DeBerry provided a status report. He stated there is still a
question of how long of a grace period to apply to homes which operated legally under the old
boarding house ordinance, but under the new ordinance were not in compliance. He stated that the
letter to the State Assembly in support of AB 3007 supports inclusion of a 300-foot distance
requirement between licensed sober living facilities. He stated that the issues of distance
requirements; definition of facilities occupying a single-family home; and usage of the permit
parking program to address parking and traffic problems would be brought to Council in the
future. He further stated that Council may decide to address changes to the State Uniform Housing
Code which preempts local laws.
Mayor pro tern Cavecche asked for clarification of whether the zoning preemption is applicable
without a State license and whether the City can modifY the Municipal Code to require stricter
licensing requirements. She also noted that the State Assembly's vote on AB 3007 was imminent
and time was of the essence to convey the City's comments.
Mr. DeBerry stated that under the Health & Safety Code, sober living facilities not providing care
and supervision are not required to obtain a license. He added that under the Federal Fair
Employment and Housing Act, recovering addicts and alcoholics are considered disabled, and the
City is required in some cases to make reasonable accommodations for homes serving these
individuals.
Mayor pro tern Cavecche asked if the code enforcement and fire marshal staff were going out at
night when violations were more notable and whether there existed another angle to explore to
address the problems.
Mr. DeBerry noted that staff had discussed that and they would be going out at times people would
be home.
Mayor Murphy indicated that the status report is a slice in time, adding that there are further
avenues to pursue which is being done.

5. REPORTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS (Continued)
Speakers:
Bettye Cantwell, Hart Street, asked for the definition ofR-1 and R-2.
Jon Stearman, spoke on opening a sober living facility.
Councilmember Smith suggested pressure be placed on the property owners who are making
money renting illegally to many families, including a stiff penalty for those who violate the
ordinance-as well as stronger penalties for repeat violations.
City Attorney, David DeBerry indicated that violations are misdemeanors with a fine of $1,000 or
6 months in jail. He added that the courts do not give code enforcement matters much priority,
adding that they want to be assured that the City has exhausted all their efforts to correct the
problem in order for them to hear the case. He reviewed several different scenarios of living
conditions, noting it is difficult to obtain evidence to determine actual living arrangements.
Councilmember Dumitru asked how many sober living facilities existed in the City and how many
unlicensed homes existed; what the crime rates are in the neighborhoods where these facilities
exist; and whether probationers were living in the unlicensed facilities.
Mr. DeBerry reported that 17 licensed sober living facilities exist in Orange. He indicated that
there is no current record of the number of unlicensed facilities, but the City is looking to address
the unlicensed homes. He indicated that more and more addicts are being diverted to group
homes for treatment rather than to incarceration. He clarified the provisions regarding probation
and living in a sober living facility.
Mayor pro tern Cavecche pointed out that under state law, there is no way the City can change
the occupant capacity in a house. She also asked that all group homes be mapped to determine
the distance from other group homes.
Mr. DeBerry indicated that the courts have shot down requests to limit the number of people per
lease. He also indicated that the City's GIS system is up-to-date on mapping the licensed facilities,
but work is still in progress to enter the un-licensed homes.
City Manager, John Sibley stated that the City's GIS system is being updated with all statistics on
group homes which then feeds into the Coplink System enabling the City to keep track of crime
statistics. He added that the Police Department is aggressive in monitoring the whereabouts of
parolees.
In response to questions from Councilmember Ambriz, Mr. DeBerry responded that currently,
unlicensed sober living facilities are not required to have a City business license. Mr. DeBerry
clarified that the business license addresses the collecting of a tax compared to the State group
home license which is more of a regulatory tool.

7.1 Report from the City Manager - Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment Plan.
(OC1300.D.l) TAPE 1190
SUMMARY: In 1990, Orange County voters approved Measure M, a half-cent local
transportation sales tax to be collected for 20 years. The revenue generated from Measure M has
been used to fund critical freeway, road and transit projects in Orange County. However, this
transportation sales tax is set to expire in 2011.
Discussion - City Manager, John Sibley provided a summary of projects eligible for funding by
the extension of the Measure M tax.
Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) Director and Chairman of the Orange County Board
of Supervisors, Bill Campbell gave a power point presentation providing the history of Measure
M; reviewed completed projects and those underway. He stated that over the past 15 years,
Orange has received $46.2 million in Measure M Funds. He added that Measure M will expire
in 2011 unless extended and listed the proposed projects that future funds would be used for. He
added that a two-thirds vote is required for its extension.
Councilmember Ambriz, referring to grant opportunities for funding, asked if OCTA would be
encouraging partnerships with cities, counties, state, courts, and universities. He further asked
how soon funds would be available.
Supervisor Campbell responded that the future funds will be regional in helping all the citizens
of the county and that the future plans would be shelf-ready-allowing for a quick start on the
projects.

7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS (Continued)
Mayor pro tern Cavecche asked for clarification on the difference between Measure M funds and
the Governor's proposed state infrastructure bonds.
Supervisor Campbell explained that of the proposed $19 billion bonds, only 5% or $460 million
would come to Orange County-in spite of the fact that the County has 10% of the state's
population. He further stated that many State bonds require matching funds; adding that
Measure M funds are spent and controlled locally.
Councilmember Dumitru stated that Orange ranked No. 5 in funding out of all the cities in
Orange County.
Mayor Murphy stated that although nobody likes taxes, Measure M, with its proven track record,
benefits the local area.
