"MAN IN WASHINGTON" Mayor Evans stated that
REPORT the Special Meeting had
been called to hear a
report from Bill Morgan,
Washington, D.C., representative for the Consortium Cities,
Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, and Santa Ana; that
the presentation would take approximately one and one-half
hours, necessitating postponement of the Council's further
consideration of the policy for raised street medians until
February 3, at 12:30 P.M., in Room 831.
Mr. Morgan stated that he had been reviewing the "Man in Wash-
ington'' Program with the Consortium Cities for the past week
to get an update from Councils and staffs on priorities and
recommendations for his time allocation for the coming year.
Then, he reviewed his activities contained in his written
report dated January 13, 1975, which was subsequently received
and filed by unanimous informal agreement.
Mr. Morgan stated that attempts to influence federal legisla:
tion had been successful when the targets had been limited
and chosen correctly; that solid Council involvement and
understanding were very necessary for impact in the legislative
areas.
CONSORTIUM ADDITION Mr. Morgan stated that
he would recommend appro-
val of the request from
the City of Pullerton
to join the Consortium; that their problems are basically the
same; that it would strengthen the cities' position; and ~ould
be a good signal to the Congressional people that the concept
has some momentum to it; and that it would require no addition
to his staff.

the Consortium for the "Man in Washington" Program was ~econded
by Councilman Bricken and carried unanimously.

Final Report, as the

Jo Elliott, Chairman of the Committee.
Mayor Evans recom-
mended that if there
were no objections
that the Council
56, Citizens Paramedic Advisory Committee
matter had been scheduled to be heard
recognized Betty
CITIZENS PARAMEDIC Mrs. Elliott presented
ADVISORY COMMITTEE the Final Report of
FINAL REPORT the Citizens Paramedic
Advisory Committee
dated December 20, 1974. She stated that the Committee
worked enthusiastically for a period of about two months; that
the recommendation in the report was unanimous with one
abstention; that the Committee agreed there was a need for
immediate action to afford additional paramedic services to
the citizens of Santa Ana, and requests that one van with a
minimum team of seven firemen go into service immediately.
Responding to Councilman Bricken, Fire Chief Gene Judd stated
that it would cost approximately $200,000 for the addition of
one team and van.
Mayor Evans stated that Mike Davis, the member of the Committee
who had filed a minority report, could not attend the meeting
and had requested the Mayor to report to the Council his
(Mr. Davis') opinion that the need had been established prior
to the Committee meetings; that any kind of input in regard
to free enterprise was absolutely ignored; and that members
of the group had already made up their minds as to what they
desired to accomplish.
Mr. Edward Mackessy, President of the Chamber of Commerce
praised the Fire Department for reducing fire insurance rates
for the businessmen of the community and expressed the
Chamber's support of another paramedic group in the City.
Mrs. Elliott further explained that the Committee recommenda-
tion included expansion of the paramedic program to transport
patients to the hospital, where necessary, for a service
charge that would enable the program to be partially self-
supporting.
Councilman Garthe moved, and Councilman Markel seconded, a
motion to instruct the City Attorney to prepare a measure,
for inclusion on the April 1 ballot, to increase the property
tax rate, in the amount needed to support the paramedic
requirement proposed knot to exceed 10~ per $100 assessed
valuation); and to authorize the City Manager to order a
van and the equipment for another unit and to place in priority
the training of a minimum paramedic team. The motion failed
on the following roll call vote:
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 29 JANUARY 20, 1975
AYES: Garthe, Markel
NOES: Griset, Ward, Evans, Yamamoto, Bricken
ABSENT: None
Prior to the vote on the motion, Councilman Yamamoto stated
that he could not support a motion to increase the property
tax rate and Councilman Bricken concurred, adding that the
proposal should be given a high priority in next year's
budget consideration.
The City Manager reminded Council that a Crime Commission
report is due very shortly and that the expanded paramedic
program might better be combined with the recommendations
of the Crime Commission for a total public safety picture
so that funding can be approached as a cost for total public
safety.
Councilmen Griset, Garthe and Yamamoto favored billing users
of the paramedic unit for ambulance service. Councilman
Ward suggested exploration of other ways of funding the
paramedic service.
Mayor Evans pointed out that there was no data about the
urgency of the need; and that perhaps the funds could be
budgeted.
Councilman Ward moved to refer the paramedic report to staff
to study funding of an additional paramedic unit by other
methods, including joint powers and ambulance charges; to
work on removing some of the arbitrary legislative barriers
of the County Health Officer and the State to facilitate the
program; and to review methods for reducing the workload
for the paramedics. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Bricken, and carried (6-1) with Councilman Markel dissenting.

The City Attorney shall resolve and include in
the proposed Joint Powers Agreement the resolution
to the following questions posed in his memorandum
to Council dated January 16, 1975:
As alternatives to complete cancellation of

RFP's?

E. Requiring I.C.A.A. approval of all major
contracts?
F. Requiring competitive bidding on all
major contracts to keep costs down?
The two dissenting votes were cast by Councilman ~riset and
Councilman Bricken. Councilman Griset stated that the County
of Orange or the League of Cities would be better instru-
mentalities for a project of this kind. Councilman Bricken
found the conditions and terms of the contract not acceptable.

APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE The Mayor opened the
OF CONVENIENCE & NECESSITY public hearing to con~
CONVA-CARE COMPANY sider the Application
for a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity to operate one ambulance in
the City, filed by Jeffrey S. Levinson dba Conva-Care Company.
The applicant stated that for three months he had been attempt-
ing to prove the need and necessity for another ambulance in
the City of Santa Ana; that he operates in the City of Tustin
and has responded for the City of Orange with his 1972 fully
equipped Chevrolet van. He stated that Wind Ambulance, which
held two Certificates of Convenience and Necessity, had gone
out of business, and left a void in emergency service in the
eastern sector of the City; and that he had received numerous
requests from doctors to establish an emergency ambulance
service in that area. He added that his location of 17th and
Tustin would be ideal for serving the eastern area of the
City.
Councilman Yamamoto pointed out that of the eleven ambulance
permits in the City of Santa Ana, only six vehicles are in
operation: Morgan operates two, Southland operates one,
and Schaeferoperates three.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the issuance of
a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity:
John Morrow, 212 West Second Street, Santa Ana
Eric Engman, 2227 South Bristol, Santa Ana
Mr. Morrow and Mr. Engman from Morgan and Schaefer's Ambulance
Services, respectively, claim that ambulance service in the
City of Santa Ana is adequate; that Mr. Levinson was an
employee-manager of the Wind Ambulance which failed because
of bad management; that no financial statement had been pre-
sented by the applicant to prove that he was capable of pro=
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 34 JANUARY 20, 1975
ducing ambulance services; and that if there were sufficient
business, Schaefer's or others holding Certificates of Con-
venience and Necessity would use their Certificates by adding
ambulances.
There were no other opponents or proponents; the Clerk re-
ported there were no written communications~ the Mayor closed
the public hearing.
Councilman Yamamoto stated that he felt that the valid Certifi-
cates would be being used if there were sufficient business
to warrant their use. He also added that if the paramedic
fire unit were to begin transporting patients to the hospital
that the need for private ambulance service would be decreased
and that for those reasons he would oppose the application.
Councilman Markel suggested that there would be a hospital
opening soon on Tustin Avenue; and that there would be suffi-
cient demand for ambulance service to warrant issuance of the
Certificate.
Mayor Evans added that Council procedure is for testimony to
be heard by the Hearing Officer and he believes the Hearing
Officer has given very many more reasons to grant the Certifi-
cate than reasons presented not to grant it. Mayor Evans
expressed his desire to support the Hearing Officer's decision.
On motion by Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Bricken,
the Council voted (6-1) to approve the Proposed Decision of
the Hearing Officer, including the Findings and Conclusions
contained therein, and to instruct the Clerk of the Council
to issue a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
for one ambulance permit to Jeffrey S. Levinson dba Conva-
Care Company subject to compliance with all applicable pro-
visions of the Municipal Code, with Councilman Yamamoto dis-
senting. CA 96
BIKE LANES
REMOVAL OF PARKING
ON FIFTH STREET
Street between Euclid and Raitt
from both sides of Fifth Street
The Mayor opened the
public hearing regard-
ing the installation
of a bike lane on Fifth
and the removal of parking
from the Pacific Electric
Railroad to Euclid Street between 7:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M.
Mayor Evans asked the Assistant Director of Public Works,
John Stevens, to give the Council any additional information
he might have. He stated that the results of the post card
survey indicated that 71% of the persons living or owning
property on Fifth Street in the area of the bike lane favored
the daytime only bike lane and the restriction of parking
during daytime hours. As a result of the notification of
all interested persons of the public hearing on the matter,
four responses in opposition to the bike trail and parking
restriction had been received from the following:
Mrs. Stewart, 3512 West 5th Street
Mr. Joe Genchi, Corner Market at 5th and Euclid
Mr. Burnett, Wholesale Plumbing and Supply Company,
3621 West Fifth Street
Mr. Jack Dexter, Amlings Nursery, 2420 ~est Fifth Street
and an indication of support from parents of the school chil-
dren was transmitted by Mr. Dave Siden, Santa Aha School
District.
In answer to Councilman Bricken's question regarding why only
one half of the distance requires parking restriction, Mr.
Joe Foust, Traffic Engineer, responded that where parking is
permitted there will be a five foot strip of asphalt pavement.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 35 JANUARY 20, 1975
To Councilman Bricken's question asking for the total cost of
the project, Mr. Foust answered that the asphalt would cost
$10,000, the signing and striping $2,500 per mile, or a
total of approximately $17,000.
The Council heard comments in opposition to the bike trail
the parking restriction in conjunction therewith, from the
following:
or
Mr. Valdez, Flamingo Bar, 3642 West 5th Street
Mr. Orin Day, 701 East Avalon, General Manager,
Anaheim Auto Salvage on 5th Street
Mr. C. L. Burnett, Wholesale Plumbing and Supply
Company, 3621 West 5th Street
Mr. Jack Dexter, Amling's Greenhouse, 2420 West 5th
Mr. Elwood Waas, 3929 West 5th
Mr. Alex Lundstrom, 3109 Manitoba
The consensus was that they would favor the use of Hazard
Street as opposed to Fifth Street because of the width of
the street, the traffic hazard, and the availability of
park and school facilities on Hazard. Mr. Dexter is
generally opposed to the bike trail on Fifth because he
feels it would increase the incidence of vandalism which
he has experienced at the greenhouse facility.
There were no other opponents or proponents; the Clerk
reported there were no other written communications; and
the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Staff response to these comments, made by Mr. Joe Foust,
Traffic Engineer, was that moving a portion of the bike
lane to Hazard would produce a zig-zag course for the bike
riders; and that it would create additional cost to improve,
sign and stripe the north-south streets and to provide
traffic signals which would be necessary for the protection
of the riders.
Councilman Ward asked staff what the City has done to
increase safety in the area of Fifth and Euclid. Mr. Foust
said that at Sixteenth and Euclid and at Fifth and Euclid
staff proposed to illuminate the pedestrian crossing, zebra
stripe the crosswalks, reflectorize the lane marks, and
install sodium vapor lighting; and to illuminate the cross
walks at Seventh Street.
The Council instructed the City Attorney to prepare a Kesolu-
tion removing the parking and establishing the bike lane on
Fifth Street as recommended, on motion of Councilman Yamamoto,
seconded by Councilman Nard, and approved [6-1] with Council-
man Markel dissenting. CA 18.6
REVENUE SHARING The Council was
AGREEMENT AMENDMENT advised by the City
BOWERS MUSEUM - OCT. 22, 1974 Manager that a proposed
amendment to the ~oint
Powers Revenue Sharing Agreement not listed on the agenda was
being presented as a matter of urgency because the Board of
Supervisors would have this matter before them at their next
meeting; that it is necessary for the Council to move expedi-
tiously to receive $225,000 in revenue sharing funds; that
approximately $35,000 would have to be provided by the City
and can come only from the contingency fund.
On motion by Councilman Griset, seconded by Councilman
Yamamoto, the Council approved the proposed Amendment to
the Joint Powers Revenue Sharing Agreement unanimously.
