BUSINESS CALENDAR <br /> <br />Motion: <br /> <br />Councilmember Alvarez expressed concern about the timeline for <br />completing the agreement between the District and the Discovery <br />Museum. She noted that the Discovery Museum had expressed a <br />willingness to have the City participate in facilitating the agreement and <br />asked Dr. Mijares if the School District could make the same commitment. <br />Dr. Mijares responded that the School District was willing to accept the <br />City's assistance, however, the District needs to quickly bring certainty to <br />the project to obtain state funds. <br /> <br />Council discussion ensued. Councilmember Solorio noted that more <br />facilities would be open after school hours for athletic and recreational <br />uses. Mayor Pulido noted that the City was not giving up green space, but <br />enhancing the area, because currently there are approximately ten acres <br />of undeveloped brown space that will be developed. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem McGuigan stated that she could not support the project <br />because of the loss of open space, the requirement that students must <br />reside in the Santa Ana Unified School District boundaries, overflow <br />parking in the neighborhoods, and traffic impacts. Councilmember Bist <br />thanked Mayor Pro Tem McGuigan for her vigilance in reviewing the <br />project environmental impact report and for fighting for a better agreement <br />for the City and residents. Councilmember Christy stated the importance <br />of protecting the interests of all concerned parties. Councilmember <br />Alvarez expressed concerns relative to delegating any decision making <br />authority to any agency other than the City. <br /> <br />Following Council discussion the following motion was adopted. <br /> <br />1.
