COMMENTS 90.A. PUBLIC COMMENTS Miles Leach, 2025 W. Tenth Street, expressed the opinion that the Council's vote with regard to ward elections reflected a lack of minority representation on the Council. James McGuigan, 5642 Keelson, reported in his experience, a ward system had resulted in corruption. He also reported that Comcast had once again broadcast an unscrambled pornographic film (at 8:00 p.m. on May 28, 1992 over Channel 3, a Government access channel) and urged the Council to formally protest the airing of the film as well as to more stringently enforce the City's cable contract. Brett Franklin, 919 E. Catalina, expressed concern that the proposed Residential Inspection Program would exacerbate tenant problems and suggested City Manager, the Police Chief, and the Council meet to discuss alternative methods of addressing blatant code enforcement problems. Antonio Villa, 1808 S. Van Ness, asked when the City would respond to his request to extend the time that produce trucks were allowed to park in one location to sell their wares. The Police Chief explained that a 15-minute standing time would produce enforcement problems for the Police Department. Councilmember Acosta indicated he would pursue this matter and would provide the Council with copies of the City of Anaheim regulations on produce trucks. John Raya, expressed concern that the City's proposed citywide redevelopment proposal would meet resistance at the State level. He also urged the Council when considering the proposed amendment to the South Harbor Redevelopment Plan on June 16, 1992, to restore a "fair share" of property tax revenues to the school and college districts. Florence Leach, 2025 W. Tenth Street, expressed the opinion that "machine power politics" was alive and well in Santa Ana. She also expressed concerns regarding the repressive nature of the proposed Rental Inspection Program. Art Montez, 8283 Buena Park, Anaheim, expressed disappointment with the Council's action regarding the ethics reform package and asked the Council to reconsider district elections as well as other elements of the package.
