The City Manager reported that the street work on the interconnection between 4th and 6th would be completed by the end of the week, and that the meters on 4th Street would be removed on the weekend, so that a new traffic system would be in effect in the downtown area on June 23rd. The City Manager reported that several interns would be hired for the summer season only. Councilman Markel requested that the following statement be included in the Minutes of the meeting of June 2, 1969, under "City Hall Project": "Among other things, Councilman Markel also stated that the Court House design made it one of the outstanding architectural show places in Southern California. He aiso stated that the Presbyterian Church people were buying all available property in the square to the east of the Court House and were planning a parklike landscape that will lend a magnificent beauty to the area which is the easterly entrance to the Civic Center. He also expressed con- siderable concern at the possibility of converting the Court House building into a County library, thereby drawing from sponsorship and patronage of many Orange County people from our own Bowers Museum. Councilman Markel expressed disbelief of the fact that since the Council can order construction of sewers, water mains, streets, and fire halls the Council can order City Halls built without consent of the people. Councilman Markel said that the defeat of two recent bond elections was conclusive evidence that the people of Santa Aha are not interested in a City Hall at this time."

Mock was authorized to attend the convention for the State Bar Association at City expense, and Mr. Mock was commended for this honor being bestowed upon him through the office of James Penney, President of the Orange County Bar Association.
