5. REPORTS FROM BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND COMMISSIONS
5.1 Report from Councilman Steiner on the Library Joint Use Project. (C2500.I)
Councilman Steiner reported that he and Mayor Beyer feel a fully integrated library is
the best approach because of limited revenue growth and the cost savings in
construction and operation. They are planning a 60,000 square foot library, with a
savings of about $1.4 million in construction costs, $300,000 in equipment and start-
up costs and about $200,000 savings in operating costs. They hope others will become
part of the partnership, such as The Irvine Company, who may contribute land and the
State may contribute construction
funds.The East Orange General Plan has taken on a different dimension with the
recession,which has caused a significant slowdown by The Irvine Company. The
population which was envisioned will not be there for some time. However, this process will
take at least five years, so the library will get ready for the growth which eventually
will occur in that area. Orange has an opportunity to be a model of a
state-of-the-art approach to delivering
services to the community.There are still many detai!s to worked out on the project, but
many of the problems have been resolved, such as easy access, public parking. They have
agreed to have joint committees to deal with architectural programming and space
planning so that the City's needs and will be dealt with by the architect in
an appropriate manner. They have agreed not to have a joint powers authority, which will
take away the governance from Councilmembers, trustees of Rancho Santiago or the
Library Board. Rather, they would operate under a Memorandum of Understanding, which
was supported by the Library Director Karen Leo. Something still must be
done to integrate
the computerized catalog systems.Council very clearly indicated there would be no support for the
project if it detracted from a new main library in the City of Orange. He made a
commitment to the Library Board to put the new main library back on the front burner, because it
has lost its way over the past year or two. The Audit Committee recommended
and Council agreed in concept during a Study Session to a $3 million commitment to purchase
land for a new main library. He recommends language in the agreement to
give the City an opportunity to divorce itself from the operation if things
don't
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 16, 1992
5. REPORTS FROM BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND COMMISSIONS
Continued)
Councilwoman Coontz felt the new main library fell behind because of interest in the
joint use library with Rancho Santiago College. The Irvine Company is no longer
pursuing the Specific Plan and they will reassess development for the entire East
Orange area. The Irvine Company and others were very instrumental in the removal of
the west leg of the eastern transportation corridor, which is essential to any
development in East Orange, so it may be put off indefinitely. Any development that
does occur will be incremental, tract-by-tract, which does not lend itself to
the plans approved for East Orange. Commercial and industrial development will
also be delayed, which was essential to the fiscal balance for
East Orange.Councilwoman Coontz feels the population proposed to be serviced by this
joint use library will not be there for quite a whi!e, and that Council would
be subsidizing another institution's growth to the detriment of the citizens of Orange, who
must live with the smallest main library in Orange County. Staff is overcrowded, parking
is a problem, the equipment is antiquated, there are air conditioning and
heating problems,which are a hazard to the historical archives in the basement. She does not feel
the City should spend the money on a facility which will be ready in five years, when
it may not be needed unti! the year 2000
or later.Councilwoman Coontz does not disagree with joint use. The Library
Director was more interested in a side-by-side use, than a fully integrated
library, which was the preference/ demand of Rancho Santiago College. If the City is going
to put money into that library, they should be able to say how it is going to
be operated and designed.First comes the $100,000, then there will be a contract negotiated
between the City of Orange and Rancho Santiago regarding this library. Orange is
short a few million dollars now, but it may be $5 million more if the State decides to
descend on the cities and counties. She wondered if Orange would have the
capability of reducing the contractual payment to Rancho Santiago College so that other
libraries and residents in the City do not suffer an inequity if further
budget cuts are necessary.Councilwoman Coontz feels there is too much at stake to approve
the library at this time. Rancho Santiago wants to do it now because of
some opportunities they may have for construction and perhaps funding at the State level. Council
has never seen an entire package on this project and the details keep changing,
especially as to whether the library will be fully integrated or side-by-
side. The Library Director was asked where the consultant recommended the library
be located in East Orange. She indicated it was in the civic center, at in the center of the
7,500 acres. The joint use library would be quite a distance from the
residential area
planned

5. REPORTS FROM BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND COMMISSIONS
Continued)
Mayor Beyer mentioned that the main library fell behind not because of the Rancho
Santiago Library proposal, but because acquisition of property and negotiations take a
great deal of time. Mayor Pro Tern Barrera was in favor of a library in one building,
with two entrances, keeping the identity of the public library. There are many issues
yet to be addressed. The MOU should have a method to facilitate dealing with these
issues and if disagreement arises, for some sort of mediation board. Councilman
Steiner felt the operational issues would evolve as the library goes forward.
The following people spoke:
David Hath, Dean of the Orange campus of Rancho Santiago College.
Tom Saenz, representing the Library Board of Trustees.
George Gorham, 1042 W. Palmyra, on behalf of the Library Board.
Nora Jacob, 792 N. Grand St., Legislative Chairman, Friends of Orange Public Library.
Bob Bennyhoff, 10642 Morada Drive.
Mara Brandman, Trustee, Rancho Santiago College.
The following points were made:
Rancho Santiago feels the only way the library will work is if it is fully integrated.
The earliest date the facility could be available for use, with immediate approval, is
Fall,1997.
The Irvine Company has been involved from the inception of the Joint Use Steering
Committee. Brad Olson was their representative. They have not convened since the
committee made its recommendations because the City and the College needed to
determine whether or not this is a viable project before anything further could be done.
The Library Board prefers a modified integrated plan, should the Council decide to
approve the joint use library. They are not opposed to joint use, but this branch library
was not on the priority list within the timefrarne proposed. They had another plan.
The Library Board is concerned about two things:
1. Space - they do not feel it is feasible to operate a joint use of single open space by both
libraries. There are many differences is use by college students and the public.Will
the public be happy with what they get?2.
In case this doesn't work, will the City be able to recover what belongs to them? The book
collection represents the major portion of the expenditure. We must have control over
the time limitations on use of our collection.The
Friends Board of Directors opposes this joint use effect as not being in the City's best
interests.Safety
issues are a concern, with children using the same library as college students.There
is a lack of trust in Rancho's leadership in this situation.This
approach was tried in Texas, run by the community college, and failed. The public
ended up losing a lot of money.If
City residents don't use this library, why put City money into it? Rancho is a different
jurisdiction, whose interests are different from City interests.PAGE

5. REPORTS FROM BOARDS, COMMITTEES, AND COMMISSIONS
Continued)
There is a lot of doublespeak from both sides. Nobody seems to have made a
decision if the two entities can exist side-
by-side.Rancho Santiago claims their desire is to be a blessing to the cornmunity, to
be what the City needs. The college intends to work side by side with the City
and
the community.There is a need for a library of this type in
the
area.

Steiner, Barrera, Mayor Beyer, Spurgeon Coontz
Moved to
receive Councilman Steiner's comments on the joint use library and to reaffirm the
direction of the Council to continue the process to have a fully integrated library, that
meets both college and community needs. Staff is directed to participate in the two
operational committees:1) space
planning - the schematic design and design development to address a number of issues brought
forth regarding the actual design of the building.2) to continue
to resolve the operational issues, and develop a framework for the Memorandum Of Understanding.
Friends of the Library to provide their input.6. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS -
Tape 2682 6.1 Report from
the Department of Community Development regarding the results of the study and
evaluation of the proposed Uniform Inspection Procedures; and the Education Program for property
managers and owners. (C2500.G)The Director of Community
Development reported Council has tried to address overcrowding and other issues
impacting residential units within the City of Orange.Two additional programs are
offered as part of this comprehensive program. First is the Uniform Inspection Procedures
program, for use in the ongoing housing inspection program. The City intends
to continue with its inspections, as has been the ongoing practice for several years.
This is intended to protect the safety of the occupants, and the neighbors around these
projects. Second, the City recognizes the importance of quality management of apartment
units. Well-informed, capable managers are a key to the success of
apartment neighborhoods. The Apartment Association and the Orange Housing Development Corporation
agree with this, and have agreed to provide needed training for managers
and owners in these areas.PAGE 6
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 16, 1992

The proposed program would provide for classes for those wanting training for a
management certificate, as provided by the Apartment Association of Orange County.
Additionally, classes could be provided for those who might be cited by the City of
Orange. They would be required to go through this process, as a result of legal
prosecution. Council asked to be kept updated on the progress of this proposed
program on a monthly basis.

and bring the Queen Anne House issue to a conclusion. Staff believes there is enough
interest to immediately dispose of the house and, hopefully, save it.

13. PUBLIC HEARINGS - Tape 4110 13.
1 JOINT PUBLIC HEARING 1992/93 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, CITY OF ORANGE: (
C2500.J.l.l)Time
set for a joint public hearing with the Orange Redevelopment Agency to consider the
adoption of the 1992/93 Fiscal Year Budget and Resolution No. 8031, adopting a limitation
on certain appropriations in accordance with Article XIII of the State Constitution.
The
City Manager reported the 1992/93 budget contains no fee increases, continues the year-
long hiring freeze, reduces levels of service in park and street maintenance,
eliminates or reduces the scope of special events, eliminates or reduces the level of City
support for several non-profit organizations, reduces hours in the City's 3
branch libraries, reduces in the Fire Prevention Bureau, reduces the City's computer
services contract, defers all but a few general-funded capital improvements,
and establishes several new cost-saving operatingpolicies. The $54.4 million
operating budget is smaller than this year's $54.6 million budget. The proposed budget
is balanced, using 3.8 million in one-time AB-702 credits, and $600,
000 in general operating fund reserves. The budget assumes a sluggish, but somewhat
local economy and the State resolves its monumental budget crisis without
major impact on California cities.Councilwoman Coontz reported that the Audit Committee for
the first time reviewed a detailed, line-by-line overview of
the budget. Sworn Police officers were excepted from the hiring freeze, which will
remain at 144. The budget includes previously honored wage
increases for non-management City employees where multi-year agreements are in place, but
does not include any wage increases for top management employees. She feels it is
difficult for the community to understand the budget crisis,and most of the complaints have
been regarding cuts in contributions by the City to non-profits, which have
increased over the years and have now been decreased over the past 3 years. She feels
the non-profits will have to look to more fund raising,
because she
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 16, 1992
13. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
Councilman Steiner mentioned that another $5.3 million may need to be cut, depending
upon what the State does in the next two weeks. The important thing is to preserve the
essential core services of the City, and when things do turn around, some of these
services can be restored. Unlike private businesses, government can't even reduce its
services below a certain level, because they are the provider of last resort to the public.
He asked the public if they had add-ons, that they know where the money would
come from, or an alternative as to another program that could be taken
away.Councilman Spurgeon complimented Councilmembers Coontz and Steiner for
their work on the Audit Committee. Mayor Beyer mentioned the Business and
Industry Awards Program has been in operation in the City for many years. The
budget proposes that this program become self-supporting. He requestedthat $2,568.
00 in unspent funds from 1991/92 be carried over to 1992/93 and be used for
this program.Councilman Steiner asked if he would be willing to make this an
annual recognition.The Mayor was amenable to this suggestion. Mayor Pro Tem Barrera
suggested this could be done at the Chamber yearly meeting, along with the
other programs.Councilwoman Coontz mentioned that two employees in Code Enforcement
spend half of their time on this program. Council has been trying to recognize the
in-house costs of programs like this in the community. She suggested the committee take
more of the burden and remove it from

HEARING.The following people
spoke:Richard C. Ginnaty, 1524 E. Mayfair Ave. #D, Executive Director, Miss Orange
Pageant,requested that $2,000 be restored to the Miss Orange Pageant. The program
provides scholarships to women and markets the City of Orange, both internally and
externally.Nora Jacob, 792 N. Grand Street, representing Friends of Orange Public
Library,expressed their disappointment that library hours are being cut 30%, although
they understand the necessity. Council was thanked for their support of The Friendly
Stop,by providing Community Development Block Grant funds, and especially
for providing $3 million in Redevelopment funds towards the new main
library.PAGE

Councilman Steiner asked the Library Director how much it would cost to keep the
branch library hours open at the current hours. She estimated a cost of approximately
110,000. They anticipate 3 more vacancies, in addition to 11 existing vacancies.
Councilwoman Coontz mentioned tracking this was discussed at the Study Session, so
that any necessary adjustments can be made.
Councilman Steiner clarified for the record that on page 38 of the Preliminary Budget,
Program, item 3, regarding prohibiting City vehicles from going home with employees
and the potential savings of that policy, this should be subject to 'meet and confer'
requirements and any legal requirements with the employee associations. On page 42,
Program, item 3, the transfer of one Captain and one Firefighter from non-
suppression activities to Fire Suppression, should also be subject to 'meet and confer'
requirements with the Firefighters
