CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Acosta reported that the City Attorney had informed him that an Overnight Camping ordinance had been forwarded to the City Manager for his review and appropriate action. The Mayor requested that the camping ordinance be provided to Councilmembers. Councilmember Acosta noted that a trust fund had been established for the Mauro Meza family and asked that any contributions be addressed to the Mauro Meza Family Trust Fund, Security Pacific National Bank, P.O. Box 1139, Santa Ana, 92701. In response to Councilmember Acosta's inquiry, the City Manager responded that maps showing the City's new ward boundaries would be provided to the Council at its next Council meeting. Also in response to Councilmember Acosta's concern, the Public Works Agency Executive Director indicated he would investigate safety concerns relative to tree-stump grinding activity at 22nd and Bristol Streets. Councilmember Acosta reported that he had walked in the youth-gang march on Sunday, May 3, 1992 and felt personally moved by the sincerity of the gang members' efforts to work toward peace and harmony. He expressed the opinion that those youths seem to be reaching out for guidance, direction, continuing education, and recreational activities to supplant their negative gang behaviors. Councilmember Norton asked the City Manager if the letter from Jim Walker dated April 26, 1992 might be published in "Eye On Santa Ana." The City Manager indicated he would investigate. Mayor Young reported that the City had lost some momentum toward implementing a youth anti-gang program due to the racial conflicts in Los Angeles last week, but that the City would be moving forward again with the program.
