He suggested that the County should be asked to go ahead and make a decision as to whether or not they will approve the League's request for a 50/50 split; that if they declined, then all cities would have adequate opportunity to prepare and submit recommendations to the County for projects; that he had been asking the Department Heads for suggestions of projects which would appeal to the Board of Supervisors in that they would serve people other than residents of the City; for example the Communications Center, which serves Santa Ana, Orange and Tustin; that he understood Costa Mesa was interested in a storm drain that would serve their indus- trial area and the City of Santa Ana.
