RECESSED TO HOUSING AUTHORITY - 9:09 P.M. <br /> <br />RECONVENED - 9:10 P.M. - All Councilmembers present. <br /> <br />COMMENTS <br /> <br />90.A. <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> <br />Sal Juarez, 2723 Camden, deplored the negative campaign literature distributed by the Santa <br />Ana Police Association in the recent election and requested the Council prohibit distribution <br />of any campaign literature that is insulting to any country, race, nationality, or group of <br />people. <br /> <br />Sean Mill, 617 S. Starboard, commended the Council on its decision to solicit competitive <br />bids for City trash collection but criticized the Council for acting negatively, in his opinion, <br />concerning small businesses in other actions. Mill opined that the City would be better <br />served if the Council concentrate on solving the issues of drugs, gangs, businesses leaving <br />Santa Ana, and homelessness instead of such issues as billboards. <br /> <br />Alex Vega, 3900 W. Fifth Street, requested the Council allow a group of 80 to 90 vendors to <br />hold a one-time Christmas Bazaar at the Santa Ana Stadium for eight days. <br /> <br />Tim Rush, 1408 N. Olive, indicated the Washington Square Neighborhood was strenuously <br />opposed to a boutique or any other vendor activity at the Santa Ana Stadium. The Mayor <br />expressed sympathy for Vega indicating that although the activity had merit, the location was <br />wrong; he encouraged Vega to work with the neighborhood association leaders to find a <br />location for the proposed bazaar. <br /> <br />90.B. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Richardson commended the American Youth Soccer Association (AYSO) on <br />its positive activities for the community's youth and requested that AYSO Commissioner <br />Tom Anaya and AYSO major sponsor Country Apartments, represented by Liz Reed, be <br />recognized at a Council meeting in early 1993. Councilmember Richardson also requested <br />staff to develop stronger enforcement measures to discourage loud parties. <br /> <br />Councilmember Mills requested the City Attorney prepare a resolution which would change <br />the composition of the Environmental and Transportation Advisory Committee to a body of <br />City representatives only. She indicated that such a body would encourage a neighborhood <br />focus on environmental and transportation issues. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 378 DECEMBER 7, 1992 <br /> <br /> <br />
