SANTA ANA The Clerk distributed a SPHERE OF INFLUENCE copy of a speech proposed to be given by the Mayor to the Local Agency Forma- tion Commission (LAFC) on December 12, 1973, urging them to include the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station (H) Santa Ana in the Sphere of Influence of the City of Santa Ana, and citing the rationale for the recommendation. The Assistant to the City Manager referred to a map of the City and pointed out to Council the different islands of unincorporated territories surrounding the City and the Local Agency Formation Commission's recommendation on each. He stated that the Marine base was the only one of any significance or importance and that with regard to it the LAFC was concerned about natural boundaries and fire and police protection. Councilman Griset stated that the City of Santa Ana had a lot more to offer the future development of the helicopter station than any of the other surrounding cities.
