COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY <br /> <br />Community Development Agency Executive Director Cindy Nelson discussed her agency's <br />budget proposals on personnel reductions and revenue enhancements. Director Nelson <br />proposed eliminating 18 positions and creating 1 new position for a net decrease of 17 full- <br />time employees. She explained the agency would compensate for personnel cuts through <br />work reassignments. <br /> <br />On the revenue side, Director Nelson reported agency budget reductions resulting from the <br />State budget deficit would be partially offset by anticipated revenue from various Clinton <br />administration programs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Richardson requested staff provide Council with a summary of the <br />Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the McFadden and Main street realignment project. <br /> <br />LIBRARY SERVICES <br /> <br />Library Services Executive Director Rob Richard presented the Library budget proposal, <br />reporting that Santa Ana ranked 11 lth among the 158 public libraries statewide in library <br />spending by dollars per person. Director Richard noted that the City's library system has <br />been chronically underfunded and currently needs in excess of $15 million in new books and <br />additional library space to meet state standards. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tern Pulido arrived at 7:23 p.m. <br /> <br />Director Richard indicated that the Library will continue to focus on Hispanics and youth as <br />its primary customers. He then presented various charts, maps, and demographic data <br />supporting the budget proposal to close the McFadden Branch Library. <br /> <br />Councilmember Richardson requested Director Richard to provide the Council with copies of <br />the statistics and materials used in the presentation, and the Clerk of the Council Office to <br />provide copies of the same materials to any interested member of the public. <br /> <br />The Council then discussed at length various alternatives to closing the McFadden Branch <br />Library including shorter library hours, use of volunteers, and reduction of the Library's <br />book budget. <br /> <br />Rosa Ramirez, 2307 W. Russell, and Cecilia Maciel, Committee for the Immaculate Heart of <br />Mary, asked the Council not to close the McFadden Branch Library on behalf of a group of <br />some 50 adults and children present at the meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Pulido and Councilmember Richardson explained to the audience that the <br />Council was not voting on the McFadden Branch Library closure at this time and would not <br />be voting on this issue until after the budget presentations have been concluded. <br /> <br />crrY COUNCIL ~ 12~ MARCI~ 23, ]~'J3 <br /> <br /> <br />
