Councilmembers requested specifics with regard to the $98 million bond issued for redevelopment projects. The City Manager agreed to review the bond proceeds first for the Economic Development Committee, then the Finance Committee, with a final report to the full Council. Educational Liaisons Councilmember Johnson inquired as to the procedure for annexing the portion of the Garden Grove School District in Santa Ana into the Santa Ana Unified School District. The City Attorney indicated such an action would require a vote of the people. Councilmembers agreed this was an area for individual involvement as opposed to staff. Since the City had already committed to providing ~8 million in funding to the Santa Ana Unified School District, the Council agreed no further discussion was required on this subject at the present time. Community/Cultural Facilities/Programs The City Manager explained that the Community Events Calendar had been resolved in Council com~ittee which obviated the need for discussion of this subject. He also indicated staff was pursuing the possibility of relocating the Zoo to Centennial Park. Councilmember Johnson suggested staff investigate improving the appearance of the City's recreation centers. Councilmember McGuigan urged expanded recreation programming to assist in meeting the needs of the Santa Ana School District's virtually year-round school program year. Councilmember Johnson expressed concern that the School District planned to locate temporary classrooms in the City's parks. By the unanimous informal consent of the Council, the remainder of the discussion items were deferred to the afternoon session of the April 21 agenda. Councilmember McGuigan expressed the Council's appreciation to Dr. Jensen for his services. At 4:05 p.m. the meeting was adjourned. //s~a~ice C.
