Discussion of the City's use and responsbility relative to the Santa Aha College Pool was continued from the meeting of July 5. The Manager stated that the pool had been built by the City in 1958, that the City had entered into an agreement with the College for its use and maintenance; and that after a period of time, the College would purchase the pool for outright ownership. However, the College is not interested in acquiring the pool at this time and the contract is under re-negotiation. The Manager added that the City should build a pool to serve the area north of 17th Street if it were denied use of the College facility. Council informally instructed staff to continue negotiations with emphasis on a more equitable agreement for maintenance of the pool. Councilman Yamamoto inquired about the possibility of installing lights at Rosita Park. The Mayor replied that additional items to the Budget would be considered following completion of the Budget review. The City Manager responded to a question from Councilman Markel, stating that a particular site for the proposed fire station in the vicinity of Santa Clara and Broadway had not yet been determined; and that there was money in the Budget for the purchase of the site. Councilman Ward pointed out that the area had adequate fire protection under the terms of the mutual fire response agreement with the City of Orange. Staff was requested to investigate the possibility of the City's Little League organizations constructing concession stands in some of the parks in collaboration with the Park Department staff; and to submit a report to Council, on the unanimously approved motion of Councilman Evans seconded by Councilman Ward. Council- man Evans referred staff to Mr. Ted Ward, District 30 Commissioner for Little League.
