The motion passed by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmen Hubbard, Schlueter, Gilmore, Brewer, Hall Noes: None Absent: None Councilman Brewer made the following statement: "I amconsiderably disturbed over the protest of the Board of Regents to this annexation. To my knowledge, never in the entire history of this state has such a protest because of Freeway inclusion in an annexation been made by the Department of Public Works, an agency of the State, and this is interference in a local annexation matter. "However, the disturbing factor is the realization that an agency of the State, the Board of Regents of the University of California, took this action without ever seeking any information from the City of Santa Ana. How a public body can hastily take such an action without considering all the evidence is of deep concern to me. "I believe we, as a Council, are amiss ii' we do not request an audience with the Board of Regents to present the City's information and evidence and ex- plain why we believe that this annexation in no way jeopardizes present or probable future state property in or near this annexed area. "Since it is obviously evident ~hat this annexation is onlff protested by The Irvine Company and people they have attempted to influence, I must deduce that the Board of Regents acted solely on evidence presented by The Irvine Company. I regret the Board has not requested information from the City to enable us to present the side of the story they have not heard. I move this Council request an audience with the Board of Regents, this Thursday and Friday, September 20 and 21, 1962, in Santa Barbara, and that the Mayor and Manager be authorized to attend the meeting." The motion was seconded by CounciLman Hubbard and carried.
