on Orange County
Investment PooL (C2500.F)Mayor Coontz reported she had sent
a letter to the Sacramento Legislative Delegation on the City of Orange's position and principles
for bankruptcy recovery. Several of the principles are as follows:1. In accordance with voter
sentiment
in rejecting Measure R in June, the first principle is that tax, fee, charge or rate increases
should not be any part of the bankruptcy recovery solution whatsoever.2. Municipal revenues should not
be
used to bailout the criminal acts of the former County Treasurer.3. The largest possible portion
of
the solution should come from within Orange County government itself Asset sales and cash
assets and revenues of the County Harbors, Beaches and Parks District, Flood Control District, Road
Fund, Redevelopment Funds, etc., should be looked at first to pay those owed
money by the County.We note with interest that the
proposed County budget for 1995/96 still proposes a County government work force of5.82 employees
per 1,000 residents. This is after having recently transferred fire protection responsibility to an
independent agency. County government's 1995/96 per capita staffing is 8% more
than that of our full service City which provides fire protection.4. Municipal pool investors should retain
at least a partial priority position with respect to litigation proceeds. While we support the
concept of moving our secured position behind that of other County creditors such as schools,
we firmly believe that the municipal pool investors should retain some type of priority claim
to litigation proceeds.PAGE 8
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 22, 1995
6. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS (Continued)
Through this compromise, the City's position has been changed and there is a danger the City will
not be receiving the 20% that is owed. However, in the compromise, the cities and agencies had
to recognize that if they did not go along with the compromise there would be every indication
that sales and property taxes would be taken again from the City of Orange.
Carole Walters, 534 N. Shaffer, commented she has been attending the Orange County
Transportation Authority meetings and will ask at their next meeting that the board be
investigated. There are County Supervisors, Councilmembers and Mayors from other cities that
sit on this board as well as the League of California Cities Board. No one is helping the County
get out of the bankruptcy problems; they are only out for themselves. The League of California
Cities is not doing the City of Orange any favors and the City should not give them any money.

PRESENTATIONS Barbara DeNiro,
1118 E. Adams, thanked Mayor Coontz and the Councilmembers for their donations to
a garage sale held on August 19, 1995 for Corinne Schreck's daughter who has cancer. Mrs.
DeNiro showed Council a hand knitted cap sent to her from a lady she met at a Ducks game.
Carole Walters,
534 N. Shaffer, commented when she writes a letter she always places her name on the
letter. Mrs. Walters read portions from a newspaper editorial which questioned if it would take 12
more firefighters for the paramedic/ambulance program? Are we putting ambulance companies out
of service? Also, concern was expressed about the water bill that includes these charges being
easy for Council to increase.The Fire
Chief reported the editorial contained inaccurate information. The Fire Department's existing staffing
level will be providing the service as an additional work load combined with all their other
duties. The issue of6 personnel was addressed in budget hearings on June 28, 1995.Those positions
had been left for the last 1-1/2years. These six were brought back as existing staff
and they will be redeployed on these units along with other existing staff. They would fight fires
and do inspections, swift water rescue, urban search and rescue, truck and engine work, as well
as all the medical emergencies. There are no additional 12 that are specialized delivering ambulance
service as the editorial indicates.The
ambulance companies will not be out of business. They will do interfacility transports. The Fire
Department will no longer use them as a primary responder for 911 calls.PAGE

report brought back to Council.
Mrs. Walters announced a man's and woman's bicycle will be rafiled off at the next garage sale
scheduled for October 7, 1995 which is to raise funds for Corinne Schreck's daughter who has
cancer.

USE PERMIT 2113-95, ORANGE ELDERLY SERVICES, INC.Time set
for a public hearing on petition by the Orange Elderly Services, Inc., to consider Conditional Use
Permit 2113-95 to allow weekly bingo games to be conducted at the Orange Senior
Center located at 170 S. Olive Street.NOTE:
This project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)per
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15323.NOTE:
Councilman Slater gave the following reasons for not participating on this item: "Within a
half block I managed an apartment building which I gave up four months ago. Unfortunately due
to the law that is still an issue and will be for a little while. The other issue is I just closed escrow
on a home just a half block away, and due to both of those reasons, unfortunately, I need to
abstain."MAYOR
COONTZ OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING.The
Director of Community Development reported the weekly bingo games are a fund-raiser for
the organization. They will be scheduled as public events from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. each Friday
evening. It is estimated the attendance will be approximately 200 to 250. Adequate parking will
be provided in the Senior Center lot and the adjacent public parking lots.
Regarding smoking, State laws address smoking in public places and these laws must be complied
with. There are separate rooms for smoking and non-smoking with ventilation
systems.PAGE
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 22, 1995
13. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the CUP with conditions.
The Director of Community Development answered the following concerns from Council. There
are approximately four or five active bingo operations in the City at this time. A list will be
provided to Council which will include the length of time they have been in operation.
Keith Regan, Executive Director of the Orange Senior Center, reported that over the last several
years the current support annual campaign has come short of the goal. The surplus funds are
dwindling causing a hardship on the center and programs that are offered. By having bingo there
will be a steady flow of cash which would place the center on firm financial ground.
Bill Lis, representative ofISS Energy Services, commented that four filtering devices will be
installed that will keep the air pure and meet OSHA requirements. This will cost approximately
20-23,000.00. The people operating bingo will cover these
costs.Speaking in
opposition:Barbara DeNiro, 1118 E. Adams, commented she had called senior centers in Garden
Grove,Tustin, Santa Ana, Placentia, Irvine, Anaheim, Y orba Linda, Huntington Beach and Brea and
they are all non-smoking facilities. They all have survived in this atmosphere and
have services provided. Concern for the general welfare should be shown to the users of the
facility. Smoke free work places have lower cleaning costs, less damage to furniture and equipment and
less risk of fire and
other accidents.Nick D'Amico, 160 N. Wheeler, commented there are other ways to raise money for
the center and cited the Orange County American Italian Renaissance Foundation's
fund-raiser efforts.S
peaking in favor:Mary Henderson, 301 S. Glassell St., #224, commented the center needs
to become more financially independent and bingo
meets this need.Walter Rohrn, 19278 Canyon Rd., Villa Park, President of Orange Elderly
Services, remarked the fund drive last year was very disappointing. The people involved in
these operations have researched this and will overcome any
problems with smoking.Mr. Regan explained that the people attending bingo games were a different
group than the seniors that regularly attend the center. Also, the ventilation system is designed
to eliminate the smoke within one hour after the last smoker has left the building. There will be no
smoke left in the building. The seniors will not be back into the building until two days later.
There is a monitoring system in place to make sure this system is operating correctly. The
system will be covered through a contract on a two-three year basis in order not
to have

Bingo will bring in approximately $5,000 per month. The goal is to return to the City at the end
of the contract and, with the revenues that are generated from bingo games, which are estintated
at $50-60,000 annually, negotiate a figure to be taken from those revenues and deducted from
the 211,000 that the Orange Elderly Services has received from the City for the last two
years.THERE BEING NO FURTHER SPEAKERS, MAYOR COONTZ CLOSED THE

wonderful programs for the seniors. It was announced the Orange Firefighters recently bought a freezer
for the
center.

2 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 3-95, PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR
ACCESSORY SECOND UNITS:
Time set for a public hearing on petition by the City of Orange to consider Ordinance Amendment
3-95 to amend provisions contained within Sections 17.10.040 and17.32.040 of the
Orange Municipal Code, regarding development standards for accessory second housing units.
This amendment is proposed to respond to recent changes in the State law regarding
parking requirements for accessory second
units.NOTE: This amendment is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section
15303.MAYOR COONTZ OPENED THE PUBLIC
HEARING.The Director of Community Development reported that current requirments are two
parking spaces for each of these accessory second units. State law amendments which take effect
this year indicate the City can no longer require two per unit, but require one per unit. The State
is suggesting allowing tandem parking and parking within setback areas as part of granny flat
units.PAGE
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 22, 1995
13. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
The City can avoid having to implement that requirement if the City can demonstrate that the City
does not allow those things in other areas of the City. The City does not allow tandem parking or
required parking in setback areas in any residential zones.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 19, 1995 and recommended approval of
the ordinance amendment.

School at 6:15 a.m. She asked how could they sweep at 6:14 a.m. one week and the next week
sweep at 9:30 a.m. Mrs. Walters asked if the sweepers could sweep in front of Orange High
School earlier because the students cannot use the parking spaces.
The Director of Public Works advised that the street sweepers are on a structured schedule and
are not to operate in a residential zone before 7:00 a.m. There is alternate sweeping times in that
area.
Mayor Coontz suggested Mrs. Walters discuss this issue with the Director of Public Works.
Mrs. Walters suggested to the City Council that when the City searches for a new City Manager
that a background check, including a valid driver's license, is completed.
Mayor Coontz advised she is researching the Administrative Manual on this issue and it will be
brought to Council as an agenda item.
Larry Bonham, 332 S. Olive St., gave a tribute to his friend, Andy Dimitriu.
