That a single move to a permanent location would be the best solution; That private investors should be encouraged to bid for the house even if it involved modifica- tion of the guidelines for potential donees; That restoration, preservation and maintenance should not be the responsibility of the City; That one consideration could be the donation of the house plus $12,000 for its relocation by the City, the donation of a permanent site by the County; and the application by the City for Federal Bicentennial funds to establish "Heritage Plaza". Mr. Wayne Schroeder, 2328 North Valencia, Executive Director of the Santa Ana Community Hospital, stated that it would cost approximately $80,000 to restore the Waffle House and $19,000 to relocate it on the new site of the Santa Ana Community Hospital. The letter dated May 29, 1974, from Mrs. Weston Walker, trans- mitting the following action taken by the Board of Supervisors on May 28, regarding the Waffle House was received and filed, on the unanimously approved (6-0) motion of Councilman Griset, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto: "Direct the Department of Real Property Services to contact the City of Santa Ana regarding plans for the removal of the Howe~Waffle House from its present site, and determine if a temporary site cannot be provided by the city. "Inventory county owned parcels in the Civic Center area to determine if any surplus property exists that would provide a suitable location for the structure." (CA 85.1d) TRAFFIC SIGNAL The interim report INSTALLATION AT dated May 28, 1974, WARNER & HALLADAY from the Director of Public Works, regard- ing the effect of pedestrians on traffic signal installation priority was received by Council. The Director stated that the preliminary pedestrian counts at selected locations indicate low pedestrian volume in rela- tion to the minimum pedestrian warrant; and that apparently the pedestrian factor will not significantly affect the priority list for signal installations. He added that the survey would be continued until all 18 intersections have been studied, at which time a new signal priority listing would be presented to Council. The following people spoke in favor of the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Warner Avenue and Halladay: Mr. John Saavedra, 2022 S. Cedar, Chairman of the Advisory Board for the South Community Center; Mr. Juan Gallegos, 2214 South Standard; Fr. John Coffield, 541 East Central Avenue. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 198 JUNE 3, 1974
