2. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
The Assistant to the City Manager explained The Optical Storage System, budgeted by the
former Police Chief was put on hold. Every month there are approximately 2500 criminal
and traffic cases processed, which has caused the overdraft. Council expressed concern,
and indicated each department has to have their budgets stand on its own merit. The
oversight is there for Council to approve on an individual basis. Hopefully there will not
be too many of these requests in the future.

1 Report from Mayor Pro Tem
Steiner on the Employee Furlough Program. (C2500.J.4)Mayor pro tern Steiner gave the following
statement "The Council took a variety of actions on January 26th with regard to
the budget shortfall, attempting to give the City Manager and staff a variety of tools
to put together the 1993/94 budget, and it is within that context I would like to make
this statement and present this particular issue with regard to the Employee Furlough Program.At
our last Council meeting, the City
Manager shared the perspectives of our Deparbnent Heads and staff concerning the problems
associated with the Employee Furlough Program. It had been reported to
us that work productivity had suffered,potential revenue had been lost, regulations were
not being fully enforced, the workload had increased, and employee morale had
been negatively impacted.PAGE 2 I
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 16, 1993
4. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS (Continued)
I believe that when the Council approved the Employee Furlough Program last Fall, it
was with the expectation that this would be a temporary measure to address the fiscal
shortfall and to prevent layoffs. It was also assumed that the burden would be shared
to some extent by all employees. Unfortunately we had neither a temporary situation,
or equity in terms of the sacrifice and burdens which are being shared.
It was certainly my assumption and hope that by the end of the fiscal year we would
begin to see an economic turnaround which would make the continuation of the
furlough unnecessary. Unfortunately, the fiscal crisis facing the City has become more
pronounced, and therefore I think we need to re-examine the rationale for
continuing the furlough program. Simply put, I feel that we are paying too great a price in
terms of the morale of our employees, inequitable workloads, the delivery of services to
our residents and the destruction of any sense of teamwork in this
City.Are we interested in preserving jobs at the expense of productivity and good
will between our employees? Frankly, from my point of view, I would rather have
a smaller work force that is working full time at a competitive wage, than the
current situation where people are working at cross purposes or are feeling put
upon.This means that the Council and the City Manager need to come to grips with
the prioritization of services. We've talked a lot about setting priorities for the
City,certainly in our Budget Committee was discussed at length. A lot of lip service
was given to this however. Downsizing is done in the private sector as a matter of
survival.However, my view of downsizing does not mean that we should follow a global
belt tightening approach which we have learned these past few months only serves
to alienate our employees and perhaps our constituents as well. Rather, we need to
target specific services and programs for elimination. Within this context, I would ask
the City Manager be directed to identify the magnitude of a reduction in workforce for
all departments which would be required to allow the Work Furlough Program to end
on July 1,
1993.This recommendation is meant as an additional budget balancing alternative
beyond those identified by the City Council on January 26, 1993. This additional tool will
be helpful for the City Manager as he develops the 1993/94
budget"

TO VESTING
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 13833 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1694, SOUTHWEST
DIVERSIFIED, INC.:13.PUBLIC HEARINGS The public
hearing on petition
by Southwest Diversified, Inc., to consider a request to modify a condition of approval
which prohibits construction of masonry walls interior to the project boundaries has
been continued from 1/12/93 to this time. SouthwestDiversified is requesting that in
limited areas within the tract, future homeowners be given the option to construct
block walls on their individual lots. The site has previously been approved for the
development of 30 residential lots. Subject property is a 30-acre site
located at the northwest corner of Santiago Canyon Road and Windes Drive.NOTE: Environmental Impact
Report
1191 has been previously certified for this project.THE PUBLIC HEARING
IS
OPEN.The Director of Community
Development referred to the large exhibit map, which illustrates where the wall
locations are. The change requested would allow homes on the southerly half of
the tract to build masonry property line walls. At the northerly property line where this
tract is adjacent to the Oak Lane properties, the ultimate desire of the neighbors is
to provide a screening between the private street and the rear yard areas, retaining some of
the plant material and creating some type of easement. On February 4,1993 a
meeting was held between neighborhood representatives, Orange Park Acres Association, and
the applicant to discuss the issue. Another meeting was held with the neighbors
and the applicant. It was reported the issue has not been resolved.Speaking in favor:
Bruce
Harrigan, representing Southwest
Diversified, 19200 Yon Karman, Irvine,commented there are no
obligations to build anything along Oak Lane, but there is an obligation to maintain the
existing hedge row. Mr. Harrigan commented the company PAGE 10 1

is willing to do something on a low key scale, but hesitate to do something with
magnitudes of money. A block wall was mentioned, but would cost approximately
80,000.00.
The following people spoke in opposition:
Elaine Byers, 6705 E. Oak Lane
Leonard Spielman, 6719 E. Oak Lane
Richard Siebert, 1388 Kennymead St., Chairman, Orange Park Acres Planning
Committee
Bob Bennyhoff, 10642 Morada Dr.
Dave Swartz, 6909 Oak Ln.
Their comments were expressed as follows:
Urged Council to not give the variance on other walls until this has been settled.
Want protection for the trees on Oak Lane.
Where will the wall go to prohibit new property owners from building into the trees.
Everyone thought the condition was in place to build the wall around Oak Lane, and it
was missed.
The intent when the project was approved was that Oak Lane would have the
protection guaranteed to them by the original owners of the property.
When the developer bought the property from D&D, they were not made aware of this
obligation to build the wall, and at this time, it has become too expensive.
Distribute the cost of building the wall throughout the project.

13.3 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 6-92, LEAF BLOWERS, CITY OF
ORANGE:Time set for a public hearing to consider a proposed amendment to the
Orange Municipal Code creating a new chapter (8.26 "Leaf Blowers") regulating the
operation of leaf blower
machines.NOTE: This item is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines, Section
15305.MAYOR BEYER OPENED THE PUBLIC
HEARING.The Director of Community Development reported the proposed ordinance limits
the hours of operation from 8:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Monday through Saturday, 9:00 A.M.
to 5:00 P.M. on Sundays and holidays. It limits to 15 minutes per hour the operation
of leaf blowers or 30 minutes on a parcel over one acre in size. It prohibits the
operation within 10 feet of a neighbor's windows or doors. It prohibits the blowing of debris
onto a neighboring property and requires that such debris be cleaned up from the
property the same day as the machine is used. It limits the noise level to 70 decibels.
This ordinance covers these pieces of equipment anywhere in the City of Orange.
The Planning Commission has recommended
approval.The enforcement of the ordinance will be on a complaint basis only. The
ordinance addresses any type of portable equipment, which includes electric
equipment.The following people spoke in
favor:Frank Coxe, 5112 E. Glen Arran Lane, recommended leaf blowers be
banned
completely.Ollie Peacock, 904 La Buena Videa, Fallbrook, representing Golden Eagle
Distributing,commented the proposed ordinance that suggests 70 decibels at 50 ft. is the
standard now. If you are running at full throttle and at 70 decibels there is no problem,
however,if there is an older blower, there could be a problem. The decibels can be reduced
by reducing the throttle
level.PAGE

13. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
The following people spoke in opposition:
Mark Carter, 715 W. Fletcher Ave.
Ken Miller, #1 City Blvd. West
Jan Riley, 29 Broomdale
Their concerns were expressed as follows:
Oppose any restrictions on leaf blowers.
Proposed restrictions will increase water usage, increase timing for certain tasks,
enforcement will be a problem.
Manufacturers are spending millions of dollars trying to keep leaf blowers more quiet
and are working on getting noise levels down.
Ordinance does not address streets and common areas in a private development.
There is no comparison between a broom and leaf blower regarding efficiency and
time.
Do not prohibit in commercial areas.
Having a separate ordinance for leaf blowers is redundant, when there is a noise limit
on the books that covers this type of noise problem.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER SPEAKERS, MAYOR BEYER CLOSED THE PUBLIC
HEARING.
Council discussion ensued relative to clarifying use limitations in residential areas, and
to address in some way condominiums and private street complexes. Terminology
needs to be consistent regarding the one half acre limitations on Page 2, band c of the
proposed ordinance. If the decibel limit is set at 70, would the ordinance have to
include half throttle speed or less?
