BICENTENNIAL PROGRA~ On motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Council- man Yamamoto, and unanimously carried on a 6 0 vote, Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 73-1SS - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA URGING SANTA ANA CITIZENS TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION BICENTEN- NIAL COMMISSION: and continued consideration of staff recommenda- tions A - C and E, contained in the memo from the Museum Director dated December 10, 1973 entitled "Bicentennial", to the next meeting pending recommendations from the Chamber of Commerce, and any other interested organizations, to the next meeting. Prior to the motion, R. H. Kopel, President elect of the Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Chamber was in a good position to take over and coordinate the Bicentennial event, develop programs, and submit a budget to Council for approval and appropriation, and he requested Council to authorize the Chamber to act as the Coordinator and Project Director for the Bidentennial Project. The consensus of Council was that the Chamber would be well qualified to direct the project; that perhaps it would be unfair to "saddle" the Museum Director, a newcomer to the City, with the responsibility of project director; that participation should not be limited to the Chamber, but should be broad based. Councilman Markel suggested the names of several individuals, who he stated would be qualified and willing to assist with Bicen- tennial programs, including Dr. Dexter Ball, Paul B. Witmer, Ross Crane, Irene Daniger, Lillian Angel, Charles Carrillo, Charles Swanner, Ted Parker, Gene Thomas, Clyde Mendall, Dr. Strasheim. Mayor Patterson suggested Councilman Markel be named as Council liaison for over all Bicentennial programs.
