Center. (Report on file in the City Clerk's Office.)( C2500.N)Mayor Beyer announced a letter
was received from
Mary Miller, Sage Hills Road, Orange,opposed to the closure of the Resource Center.
Councilwoman Coontz commented the goal of the Resource
Center was to remove people off the street on East Chapman. The social welfare activities
that are involved are secondary. Concern was expressed if Orange Cares-Mary's Kitchen
moves to the Resource Center, which is being discussed at this time, they would then
be feeding a multitude of people who are not in the homeless category that would avail themselves of
the food ifits there. This is not an acceptable solution.Mayor Beyer commented one of the
possibilities
discussed is to have Orange Cares fund the operation of the Resource Center.Page 6
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 10,1993
3. REPORTS FROM MAYOR BEYER (Continued)
The following people spoke:
Nancy Thompson, 729 E. Del Mar Ave., distributed newspaper articles referencing hiring halls,
and spoke in favor of closing the Resource Center, and how other cities are dealing with the
illegal workers problem.
Louie Ballock, 1720 N. Shaffer, commented on a business that was advertising for help needed in
Spanish and complained that his son could not apply because he does not speak Spanish.
The City Attorney opined there is no restriction on what language can be used on a sign, it is
within the discretion of the commercial shop owner. Councilwoman Coontz pointed out with the
delivery of emergency services, signs need to be in English. Mayor Beyer instructed the City
Attorney to prepare a report for Council and Mr. Ballock on both issues.
Herb Welch, 3446 E. Maple Avenue, spoke in favor of closing the Resource Center.
Bob Bennyhoff, 10642 Morada Dr., spoke in opposition of closing the Resource Center.
Council discussion of issues to be reported on by staff:
Dim view of relocating Mary's Kitchen to the Resource Center because of the concerns outlined
by Councilwoman Coontz. These are two separate issues and should not be combined.
Is the Resource Center serving its purpose? Statistics on the consequences of Resource Center
either being open or closed. Statistics on the activity level of the center over the last two years to
see if there is a falling off of numbers based on the economy.
What are the purposes of the Resource Center; has it changed from its original intent? If so, is
this what the City wants? Focus on what the objective of the Center is. The Resource Center
must stand on its own merits for its purposes or its changed purposes.
Time periods need to be attached if it were to be extended as to be self-sustaining from
either private funding, etc. Look at what cross impacts are involved should the Center not be there, i.
e.costs that will be then born by the Police Department and other departments from a standpoint
of dealing with the
alternatives.What are the consequences of losing the ordinance, and alternatives for enforcement on
the
streets.Possibility of utilizing the Resource Center as a Police satellite site. Since the budget
cuts,Council needs to be appraised of what programs are being instituted by the Police Department
in the Eastern portion of the City. Report on the possibility of a double up facility alongside
the Resource Center as a drop-in facility, removing the Police trailer from Albertsons market
site, and
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 10, 1993
3. REPORTS FROM MAYOR BEYER (Continued)
perhaps this would add a measure of protection to the residents nearby. The report needs to be a
combination of all departments involved.
Research the legality of the extension and the proposal to raise money by the Director of the
Resource Center.
MINUTE ORDER - COUNCILWOMAN COONTZ: "The same recommendation I made one month
ago was that the Police Chief consider, and he said he would, the partial use of the Resource
Center as a drop-in center just as the trailer is, period, end of quote. Never did I say a
substitute or a satel1ite station in that manner. You mentioned constant drumming rhetoric, I
think that you, Mr. Bennyhoff, are preaching to the choir, the Council understands these
problems. We were very definitely involved in it and as I remember, Mr. Bennyhoff, you were the
one that fought the Resource Center."

bonds for 86-1,88-1 and 90-1 there is an established reserve rule that when bonds
are issued it is standard procedure to have a 10% reserve fund. The landscape district
has no bonds, however funds have been set aside for emergencies. It was suggested a Council study
session be held to further
discuss a reserve policy.Ron Dietz, 8244 Hillsdale Dr., commented in favor of the
assessment not rising, and recommended over the next year staff consider something similar
to a homeowners association and have a reserve analysis. Also, there should be a budgeted amount for the
reserves based on a reserve analysis. Over the next year, review the actual
expenses oflandscaping. Mayor Beyer instructed the Assessment District Coordinator to contact Mr. Dietz
and discuss his concerns.Council discussed the need for policy on these issues in order to prepare

PLAZA:Time set for a public hearing on petition by Beam and Associates on behalf of Saint
Joseph Hospital to appeal the decision by the Zoning Administrator on July 17, 1993 denying
Variance 1952-93 to allow the placement of an additional freestanding sign within the front setback
of the recently completed Saint Joseph Medical Plaza office complex located at 1140 W.
La Veta Avenue. The Variance application also requests waivers of the City's Sign Ordinance
in regards to maximum sign area, minimum distance required between signs and between signs
and
property lines.NOTE: This project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines,
Section 15303.APPELLANT STATES THE REASON FOR
THE APPEAL:On July 28, 1992, the Orange City Council granted Variance No. 1932-
92 allowing two additional freestanding signs. The purpose of these smaller monument signs
was to identify specialized group medical practices located in the new S1. Joseph Medical Plaza. The
goal of the signage is to prevent confusion for the patient in locating essential medical services that
are not on the main campus and thus prevent unnecessary traffic in this already busy area.
With the lease-up of the building nearly complete, we find that a third smaller sign is required
to identify
all ofthese specialized groups. "MAYOR BEYER
OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING.The Director of Community Development reported the appellant
is requesting a fourth identification sign for
users in the building.Jim Beam, representing S1. Joseph's Medical Plaza, indicated the proposed
sign would have the names of the group medical practices. The intent is to have two
names on each sign.THERE BEING NO FURTHER COMMENTS, MAYOR
