Control Number: F.D.D. Monitoring Station, Santa <br />Aha, California 9-2-Calif-598-B); and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the F.C.C. has declared this property to be surplus <br />except for two portions: a 20 acre parcel being retained by F.C.C., <br />and a 48 acre parcel being retained for use by the Bureau of Prisons; <br />and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the Board of Education has requested 20.7 acres of the <br />said surplus land for school purposes; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana has requested the remaining <br />8.6 acres of said surplus property for park purposes. <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City <br />of Santa Ana, California, that the two United States Senators <br />representing the State of California, menlbers of the United States <br />House of Representatives representing the Santa Ana area, and all other <br />appropriate persons and agencies affected by this matter, be sent a <br />copy of this resolution and hereby be memorialized to make all <br />proper efforts to urge the Bureau of Prisons to relinquish its claim <br />to the 58.17 acres of land above referred to, in order that said land <br />may also be used for park purposes by the City of Santa Ana, for the <br />following reasons: <br /> <br /> 1. This site has been recommended for development as a major <br />park in the Master Plan of the City of Santa Ana after years of <br />exhaustive study and research; <br /> <br /> 2. The City of Santa Ana has no major park consisting of <br />more than approximately 20 acres to serve our 143,000 residents, and <br />the rapid physical development of open spaces, and the population <br />increase, make it extremely expensive and difficult to develop any <br />major park other than at this site; <br /> <br /> 3. Any possible use of this site by the Bureau of Prisons <br />would be incompatible with our environment. <br /> <br /> PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana <br />at its regular meeting held on the 6th day of February, 1967. <br /> <br />~TTEST: ~ , <br /> <br />STATE OF CALIFORNIA) <br />COUNTYOF ORANGE ) <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA ) <br /> <br />SS <br /> <br /> I, DORIS M.
