Councilman Garthe stated that in the last couple of weeks, he had had the opportunity to see some of the developments in some of the larger cities in California; that one of the finest he had seen in a long time was built in a slum area; that this Plan challenges the Council, Planning Commission and administrative staff all the way to dedicate themselves to doing a job for Santa Aha and to do it in the best possible way.
