MINUTES OF THE ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING <br />OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA <br /> <br />May 16, 1983 <br /> <br />The meeting was informally convened in Room 831, City Hall, 20 Civic Center <br />Plaza at 12:12 p.m. Councilmembers present were Daniel E. Griset, P. Lee <br />Johnson, Dan Young, and Mayor R. W. Luxembourger. Also present were City <br />Manager A. J. Wilson, City Attorney Edward J. Cooper and Clerk of the <br />Council Janice C. Guy. Councilmembers John Acosta and Patricia A. <br />McGuigan joined the meeting at t2:16 p.m., and 12:39 p.m., respectively. <br />Councilmember Gordon Bricken was absent. <br /> <br />Assistant City Manager Swanson reviewed the City's overall development <br />strategy, noting the City's intent to pursue, not only regulatory, but <br />"enterprise" activities with respect to potential investment. He indicated <br />three major thrusts of the plan as follows: <br /> <br />1. Design and implement supporting City programs, i.e., <br /> redevelopment, rehab programs and developer incentives. <br /> <br />2. Develop an image of the City as an outstanding place to <br /> live, work, and invest; and <br /> <br />3. Develop a "success image" of the City, i.e., that Santa <br /> Ana is capable and can perform. <br /> <br />The Assistant City Manager then provided an update on projects under <br />development within the City. The City Manager noted the overlap between <br />the new redevelopment areas and projected centers of development in the <br />City, explaining that the development centers were a result of natural <br />market forces, with the exception of the North Harbor area and the AMTRAK <br />project, for both of which the City had initiated the impetus. <br /> <br />The Manager reviewed development of the AMTRAK project and indicated the <br />redesign of the building and land acquisition problems had contributed <br />significantly to total project costs, now projected at approximately $14 <br />million. He explained that the City was pursuing several state and <br />federal sources of funding for the project, and that if any excess funds <br />were acquired, they could be channelled into phase II of the project, <br />the parking structure. <br /> <br />Councilmembers had several questions relative to the presentation by the <br />Manager and Assistant City Manager, to which the Manager responded. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT - At 1:21 p.m,, the meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />L~Clerk ol the Co~"uhci'~l. ~ <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 145 MAY 16, 1983 <br /> <br /> <br />
