GREENBELT PROGRAM STATUS RESOLUTION 75-5 A RESOLUTION 75-53 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA WITHDRAWING FROM THE SANTA ANA RIVER AND SANTIAGO CREEK GREENBELT COMMISSION was adopted on motion of Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman Ward and carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Yamamoto, Ward, Bricken, Ortiz, Garthe ~ NOES: Evans, Brandt ABSENT: None The adoption of the Resolution followed a unanimously approved (7-0) motion by Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman Evans, to waive full reading of the Resolution and to adopt by title only. In a separate motion, the Council supported the concept of a County-wide Greenbelt implemented by interested cities and other public agencies; and adopted a policy to continue the City's leadership role in implementing a Greenbelt Plan in further cooperation with those agencies already involved, on motion by Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Bricken, with Councilman Evans dissenting. Prior to the motions, Council received a report from the Direc- tor of Planning dated April 16, describing the status of the Greenbelt Program and recommending the City's withdrawal from the Greenbelt Commission effective July l, 1975. Mr. Jack Berger, Coordinator of the Greenbelt Commission, stated that the Commission desires that Santa Ana maintain its membership; that the City is physically located in the heart of the Greenbelt Corridor; that it is essential that Santa Ana participate within the Commission, cooperating on a coordinated basis to allow an effective and realistic value development of an implementation plan. He added that the Intergovernmental Coordinating Council, con- sisting of 26 cities, only l0 of which are involved in the Greenbelt Corridor, is not the proper body to carry out the needs of the Greenbelt Program; that there has been marked progress, not only with the City of Santa Ana, hut with some of its neighbors; that Santa Ana's withdrawal would be most untimely because of the programs scheduled for funding and implementation in the very near future and because of a real genuine surge of cooperation among neighboring cities in the program. Acting City Attorney Charles Liberto advised that the Joint Powers Agreement required a member to file a resolution indicating its intention to withdraw on or before May 1 of any year to avoid paying the assessment.
