MINUTES OF THE ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA September 21, 1982 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Bricken at 4:15 p.m., in Room 147, City Council Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza. Councilmembers present were John Acosta, Daniel E. Griset, R. W. Luxembourger, J. Ogden Markel, Patricia A. McGuigan, Alfred C. Serrato, and Mayor Gordon Bricken. Also present were City Manager A. J. Wilson, City Attorney Edward J. Cooper, and Clerk of the Council Janice C. Guy. WORK STUDY SESSION Richard Thompson, President AMTRAK DESIGN CONCEPTS of Archiplan, reviewed site and elevation plans for the proposed development of a new Amtrak station located at Santa Ana Boulevard and Santiago Street. He explained that the overall motif was based on a Spanish theme, and noted the repetition of towers, modeled after the large central tower at the northwesterly corner of the terminal. He pointed out the variation in schematic costs for each floor plan of the depot, indicating that the first floor, which would receive heavier use, was considerably more expensive than the upper floors. Councilmembers then commented on various aspects of the design concept, expressing some concern that the severity and simplicity of the design were too stark; that possibly the central tower should be relocated; and that the segregation of bus and train passenger traffic was essential. The Council expressed a desire to make a "major statement" with the train station, and urged that an interface between the Orange County Rapid Transit System and high speed rail system be pursued. Councilmember Griset summarized the feeling of the design, as compared with the Pacific Federal building in Costa Mesa, stating that this design was more sharply demarcated rather than a rambling Spanish, formal rather than informal, stiffer rather than cozier, and rigid versus relaxed. The Council expressed a need to meet again with the design contractor after the Council's comments had been incorporated into a modified design plan. CA 84.6 At 5:26 p.m., the Council recessed and reconvened in the Council Chambers at 5:32 p.m., with all Councilmembers present. RES. NO. 82-126 Following discussion and input SERV.
