Councilmember Acosta: <br /> <br />1) requested a report regarding the City's water conservation <br /> efforts; <br />2) inquired as to whether the City might implement a split <br /> schedule for street sweeping by sweeping one side of a street <br /> in the morning and the alternate side in the afternoon; <br />3) provided the City Manager with a list of 27 locations where <br /> illegal banners were hung; and <br />4) indicated he would check with the Mayor regarding services <br /> provided by Council support staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGuigan requested a copy of the water conservation report <br />asked for by Councilmember Acosta. She also indicated she had received a <br />written request for City financial assistance to reduce insurance costs <br />from Lou Leffler for a seniors' program conducted in a City facility at <br />625 Cypress; she requested staff investigate possible sources of funding <br />to assist the seniors. <br /> <br />Councilmember Acosta noted that he had already initiated such a request. <br /> <br />Councilmember Pulido expressed the concern that recent newspaper articles <br />on gang activity tended to glorify gangs as a social phenomenon. He <br />requested media representatives and the public to discourage such <br />reporting wherever possible. <br /> <br />Councilmember Richardson noted that Santa Ana High School had recently won <br />the 4-A Soccer Championship and suggested the team might be recognized for <br />its achievement at a future Council meeting. He also registered his <br />support for City assistance to the seniors group as requested by Lou <br />Leffler. <br /> <br />Councilmember Griset noted that Comcast Cable Television in a recent <br />letter to cable subscribers used the existing franchise fee as part of the <br />justification for its pending fee increase. He requested the Council to <br />authorize the Mayor to communicate the City's disapproval of Comcast's <br />imprecise notice to its cable subscribers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Griset also expressed concern with the Immigration and <br />Naturalization Services (INS) policy which allows convicts to be released <br />into the comnunity pending deportation hearings. He requested the Council <br />to authorize the Mayor to communicate the City's strong disapproval of the <br />policy and to initiate discussions with INS regarding changes to the <br />policy, particularly deportation of convicts to the country of origin as <br />opposed to the present practice of releasing them at the U.S. border. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT - 8:53 P.M. <br /> <br />~nice C. uy- ~/ <br />Clerk of the Counci(]~.
