DISASTER PREPAREDNESS <br /> <br />Chief Montgomery briefed the Council on its role prior to, during, and <br />following a disaster, explaining basic emergency procedures, and then <br />responded to Councilmembers' specific questions. Councilmember Bricken <br />expressed the need for a mock disaster practice session. He also inquired <br />as to the City's plans for a new emergency operations center and indicated <br />that since a facility was, in all likelihood, four years away, that <br />improvements should be considered in the interim. He also asked to be <br />provided with a report on the City's communication capabilities. <br /> <br />INTER-CITY LAISION UPDATE <br /> <br />The Director of Transportation Services outlined the boundaries of the <br />Inter-City Liaison Committee area extending westward from South Coast <br />Plaza and eastward to John Wayne Airport along the City's southern limit, <br />and indicated approximately $20 million had been identified in <br />transportation needs for the area. He reported the City's options with <br />respect to the area were as follows: 1) that the City not proceed with <br />any improvements, 2) that a joint powers authority involving the adjacent <br />cities be created, or 3) that the cities enter into an inter-city <br />agreement. The City Manager indicated that he was opposed to another <br />layer in transportation administration and also indicated some concern <br />with assessing developers to pay for transportation improvements. <br />Councilmembers Bricken and Young urged the Manager to proceed in a "spirit <br />of cooperation" with Santa Ana's neighbors. <br /> <br />Councilmembers expressed their concerns with regard to Consent Calendar <br />Items. Councilmember Acosta requested that several claims be explained, <br />and Councilmember Johnson requested that a mailer explaining Ordinance No. <br />NS-1720 with regard to animals and fowl be inserted in the water bills <br />during the next billing distribution cycle. <br /> <br />The Council recessed at 3:24 p.m., and reconvened in the Council Chambers <br />at 3:35 p.m., with all Councilmembers present. <br /> <br />PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE <br /> <br />INVOCATION - Councilmember Daniel E.
