AGREEMENT - PARK-AND-RIDE Councilman Ward abstained FACILITY - OCTD from voting on the follow- APPROVED ing item because his employer (William Blurock & Partners) is working on the project. The motion of Council- man Brandt, seconded by Councilman Ortiz, to approve the agree- ment and authorize its execution by Mayor and Clerk, carried 6:0: CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF SANTA ANA PARK-AND- RIDE FACILITY - Between City and the Orange County Transit District. (Agenda Item 12 F) A-77-51 Mr. Douglas Dyer, 2104 North Mabury, a teacher at Santa Ana High School, spoke in favor of the preservation of the Smith- Tuthill-Lamb Mortuary building. He pointed out that the build- ing is close to Heritage Square, that it carries out Santa Aha history and heritage; that the building is in good condi- tion; that it would take little restoration to use the building as a public information center, and that it is close to the Civic Center. He said that 1,300 signatures had already been obtained on a petition, and asked when the Environmental Impact Report would be prepared and who will make the final decision on the park-and-ride facility. City Manager Bruce Spragg said that the City intends to prepare evaluations of the feasibility of the various options; that the lead agency prepares the Environmental Impact Report and is generally the agency that constructs the building, which will be the Orange County Transit District, but that the EIR could be assigned to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City; and that there has been a suggestion to design the building in an L shape and utilize the street to the west in order to preserve the mortuary building. On the motion of Councilman Garthe, seconded by Councilman Bricken and carried 7:0 unanimously, a letter dated May 24, 1977 from Jan Stearns, 2636 Elden, F-i, Costa Mesa, supporting preservation of the Smith-Tuthill-Lamb Mortuary building, was received and filed.
