Confidential Information TO: The Honorable City Council DATED: September 24, 1974 FROM: Office of the City Attorney SUBJECT: Relocation of the Senior Citizens Service Center from the North Side of Third Street, Adjoining Ross Street, to the South Side of Third Street in the Western Portion of Birch Park Adjoining Ross Street Our Redevelopment Agency Planning Consultants, KDG, our Redevelopment staff, the Redevelopment Commission, and Redevelopment Agency have recommended that the site for the proposed. Senior Citizens. Service Center be changed from the north side of Third Street adjoining Ross Street to the site on the south side of Third Street occupying the extreme west- ern one-third portion of Birch Park. (See attached map marked Exhibit "A" showing present site and proposed new site in Birch Park). The County of Orange required the .present site to be specifically designated in the Revenue Sharing Agreement with the City of Santa Ana for the funding of the Senior Citizens Service Center, and now requires that that agree- ment be modified to show the new site. This agreement modi- fication has been submitted to the County to be placed on the Board of Supervisors agenda to be approved as early as possible. The modification agreement will be presented to the City Council as well at its next meeting. The staff posed the question to our office whether or not the proposed site, occupying the western one-third portion of Birch Park, could be used for a Senior Citizens Service Center in light of the language contained in the deed to the site which reads: "The above property is conveyed to the [the City] to be used for public park purposes." (NOTE: Harrison B. Heninger and Flora Heninger deeded this site to the City on January 29, 1910. The site con- sists of former lots 9, 10,-11, 12, and 13 comprising the approximate 1/3 western portion of Birch Park). Confidential II i Information u
