UNBUDGETED REVENUES Council discussed the
ALLOCATED various options for the
use of $2,180,000 in un-
budgeted revenues that were
described in Jed Christensen's report dated July 11, 1977, after
City Manager Bruce Spragg reviewed the options orally and advised
that two ordinances and one resolution had been prepared, except
for the amounts, to fix the tax rate for fiscal year 1977-78;
to fix the amount of revenue from property taxes and to reduce
the maximum amount payable under the Utility Users Tax. Council
discussed reducing the property tax rate, reducing the maximum
amount payable on the Utility Users Tax, increasing the contingency
fund, and funding some of the unfunded capital projects, and
their various combinations.

bors, 601 N. Figueroa, had
requested discussion of the proposed relocation of the Rescue Mis-
sion from 214 North Sycamore to the Carpenters Union Hall, West
Fifth Street near Harbor Boulevard, in the Santa Anita Community.
The Executive Director of Community Redevelopment, Richard Goblirsch,
reported that negotiations on behalf of the Community Redevelopment
Agency to purchase the Sycamore property in order to sell it to
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
258 JULY 18, 1977
Mr. Stotsenberg, owner of the Santora Building, to be used for a
parking lot in connection with downtown redevelopment were expected
to be concluded within a few weeks; that the long delay was because
of the difficulty in finding a suitable site for relocation of the
Rescue Mission; that the Union Hall is suitable in that the zoning
is proper; and that legally the Agency is not required to parti-
cipate in relocation except for residential properties, however
that there is a moral responsibility to assist in relocating the
Mission.
City Attorney Keith Gow reported that a mission is a permitted
use in the C2 (General Commercial) District, and he summarized
the analysis contained in his written opinion dated July 8, 1977,
as the basis for that determination, although there is not a defin-
itive classification for missions in the Municipal Code.
Mayor Evans opened the public hearing and invited those in favor
of the relocation to comment.
The following persons spoke in favor of the relocation of the
Mission:
Billy C. Hall, Executive Director of the City Center Associa-
tion
Rob Martin, employee of the Mission, 283 Bowling Green, Costa
Mesa
Reverend Lewis Whitehead, Director of the Mission, 1422 West
Raymar
Richard D. Timboe, Member of the Mission Board of Directors,
1018 N. Eastside
Ron Witherspoon, 810 South Sullivan
Terry Betz, 214 N. Sycamore
Roger Moby, 11752 Percheron, Garden Grove
Gilbert Morales, 214 N. Sycamore
The proponents stated that the Mission should not be in the down-
town area, that the Mission helps many people with a variety of
~roblems; that the Mission has been successful in rehabilitatin~
many of these ~eo~le so that they have become assets to the
community; that it will serve the City better if it is on the
"outskirts"; that the Mission offers a program for youth counseling;
and that it is performing a service that is needed in the com-
munity in a positive manner; and that larger facilities are needed
for women and children and others who have nowhere else to turn
for help and guidance.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the Mission relocation:
Lydia Morales, 601 N. Figueroa
Irene Araujo, 402 S. Gunther
Frank Maldonado, 201 S. Gunther
Jose Lopez, 614 N. Bewley St.
Ruby Epps, 626 N. Jackson
Bill Hime, 4602 E1 Don Place
The opponents stated that there is tremendous opposition to the pro-
posed relocation; that the residents have been working hard, with
City Staff, to improve their community and the relocation would be
detrimental to that improvement, and to community morale; that the
Mission would not benefit and would not be utilized by the com-
munity; that it would create problems for the community, particu-
larly the children; that there is a need for the Rescue Center,
but another location must be found; that the community requests
Council to act tonight to guarantee that the Rescue Mission will
not be moved to Santa Anita to insure its continued improvement.

A petition opposing the relocation of the Rescue Mission to the
Carpenters Hall in Santa Anita, with approximately 851 signatures,
presented by Lydia Morales, was received and filed on the unani-
mously carried 7:0 motion of Councilman Garthe, seconded by Coun-
cilman Yamamoto.
Council discussed their philosophical opinions regarding the
relocation of the Mission.
Two motions proposed by Councilman Yamamoto, one to support the
opposition of the community and instruct Staff to stop the reloca-
tion of the Rescue Mission to the Santa Nita Community and to study
further, if need be, a future location for the Rescue Mission;
and another, to support the Community of Santa Nita and instruct
Staff to stop the relocation of the Mission to West Fifth Street,
died for lack of seconds.
Councilman Bricken's motion, seconded by Councilman Ward, to
instruct the Staff of the Community Redevelopment Agency to
immediately meet with the Staff of the Mission to examine the
alternatives to relocation as presently proposed, and to come
back to Council with a suitable plan for such relocation, includ-
ing whatever modifications are necessary, to make the move more
presentable to the community, failed to carry on a 3:4 vote.
Councilmen Brandt, Garthe, Yamamoto, and Ortiz voted against
the motion, with Councilmen Ward, Bricken and Mayor Evans voting
in favor.
Councilman Ortiz' motion to adopt an emergency ordinance to impose
a moratorium on mission uses in the C1 and C2 zones until the
matter is resolved died for lack of a second.
Councilman Brandt's motion to decline to take any action, seconded
by Councilman Garthe, failed to carry on a 3:4 vote. Councilmen Yama-
moto, Ortiz, Bricken and Mayor Evans voted against the motion,
with Councilmen Ward, Brandt and Garthe voting in favor.

The Director of Public Works, John Stevens, summarized his report
dated June 29, 1977, advising that the Water Rate Study for 1977-
78 indicates a need for an average 13% increase in water rates to
raise an additional $410,635 in revenues. He also stated that the
increase would cost the average homeowner 70¢ more per month; and
that a reduction in the lifeline rate, for those who use 1,000
cubic feet or less during the two-month billing cycle, from $2.70
to $2.00 per month is also recommended.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

Further, the Director stated that 13% increase would create a capital
acquisition fund of approximately $300,000 which could be used to
assist in the proposed purchase of a portion of the Garden Grove
system serving an area of Santa Ana.
Mayor Evans opened the public hearing. There were no proponents
who requested to be heard. Opponent, Mrs; Ruby Jarvis, 1500 E.
Warren, stated that she was speaking on behalf of average and
below-average income residents and within that group, particularly
for the senior citizens and the mobile homeowner. Mrs. Jarvis stated
that there are 34 mobile home parks in Santa Ana and that many of
those people residing in mobile home parks, living on restricted
incomes would find it difficult to pay an additional 70¢ per month
for their water; that mobile home park owners will use the rate
increase as a reason to increase their rents as much as $50; and
that the residents have responded to the City's request for conserva-
tion and should not be penalized by a rate increase; that the City
and State are facing a water.crisis and that is not the proper time
to make acquisitions.
Council also received a letter from Marie Ware Mayer, owner of rental
property, protesting the proposed increase in rates.
There were no other communications, proponents or opponents, and
the Mayor closed the public hearing.

APPROVED for the public hearing for
consideration of the
Negative Declaration and Conditional Use Permit No. 77-8, approved
by the Planning Commission on June 13, 1977 to allow a day-care
center in an existing church facility in the R2 District at 1817-
1825 West Third Street.
Planning Director Charles C. Zimmerman summarized the information
contained in the Planning Commission Finding of Fact and the Minutes
of the Planning Commission meeting held on June 13, stating that a
petition containing 40 signatures had been received by the Planning
Commission in opposition to the day care center from residents of the
area. He further stated that the opposition appeared to be directed
toward the church itself more than toward the proposed day care
center; and that the proposed use will comply with ordinance re-
quirements, and will not be detrimental to the community or sur-
rounding uses.
In response to the Mayor's request for comments from proponents of
the proposed day care center, Reverend A. L. Lewter, Pastor of the
First Mission Baptist Church, 1817 W. Third Street, spoke in favor
of the Conditional Use Permit. He stated that the neighborhood
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

opposition seems to be a result of the growth of the church and the
impact of this growth on neighborhood traffic; that he prays the
church will continue to grow; that the church is making an effort
to alleviate the problems and be a good neighbor; and that he hoped
Council would approve the day-care center.
Ruth Martinez, 1814 West Third Street, spoke in opposition to the
center. She stated that she resides and represents the residents
in the immediate vicinity; that the day-care center will in no way
contribute to the general well-being of the residents; that none
of the residents in the area need the center services or will bene-
fit from them; that it will be detrimental to the community because
of the increase in traffic which creates a hazard and risk to the
neighborhood children; that the street is narrow and unsuitable
for on-street parking, and the church parking is inadequate; that
day sleepers will be inconvenienced by the noise; that there is
already an adequate day-care center in the immediate vicinity
(Franklin School); that the residents do not want or require a day-
care center; and that they urge rejection of the proposal.
In rebuttal, Rev. Lewter stated that the traffic problems are
experienced on Sundays; that the church parishioners are not
causing the problems; that the church wants to work with the
neighbors to find solutions to these problems; and that there
adequate parking for the day-care center program.
is
There were no other speakers; the Clerk reported there were no new
written communications; and the Mayor closed the public hearing.
During the Council discussion which followed, Councilmen generally
agreed that it will be desirable for the church and the residents
of the area to work together to rectify traffic and parking prob-
lems; and that Council is sympathetic to both sides.
Councilman Ward's motion, seconded by Councilman Bricken, to approve
and file the Negative Declaration; to approve Conditional Use Per-
mit No. 77-8, affirming the decision of the Planning Commission;
to instruct Staff to monitor the parking and traffic activity in

Planning Director Charles Zimmerman stated that the Planning
Commission had denied the Variance because the proposed twelve
units, with a minimum of 17% open space, is more than the land
can absorb; that Staff could support the conversion if four units
were deleted.
Proponent-Applicant Mr. Hal Davis stated that he is the owner
of the property; that the developer withdrew after the Planning
Commission decision; that the property, originally a medical
center, has been vacant for four years; that he would now like
