8 . . . Francis Griset, 2324 Oakmont, Santa Ana. Mr. Griset stated that he is a representative of the presbyterian Church. He stated that when a diesel engine is started up in a shed completely open on one side, it has to be immediately moved from the shed because of the fumes; that the Church has the same problems as the Temple, it would have to be refurbished with soundproofing and air conditioning to live with the changes. He stated that the City should own the property surrounding the Transportation Plaza and Park-And-Ride facility. There being no one else to speak on the subject, the Chairman asked for responses from the Agency members. Mr. Yamamoto asked whether staff has been working with the Masonic Temple and the presbyterian Church. The Executive Director reported that staff had met recently with representatives of the Masonic Temple, addressing many of the issues raised here today. The Executive Director stated that the Agency's architect will provide several alternatives to the Masonic Temple in regard to the noise and possible problem created by the lack of air conditioning in the present building. Staff will continue to meet with the Masonic Temple on these problems and will bring the recommendations of the architect back to the Masonic Temple and the Agency for action.
