Staff is working with the consultant to determine an appropriate <br />design and ensure adequate parking. <br />Commissioner Cribb <br /> • Concerning the Court of Appeals, asked if the Commission had any input as <br /> to how the Civic Center is treated with regard to ongoing development. He <br /> believes that it will be a serious loss to do the most expedient instead of the <br />' best thing. When someone drives down Santa Ana Blvd. in the area of the <br /> transportation facility you have a wonderful dimension. It is not just parking <br /> spaces but is an exciting space and makes the urban experience more <br /> interesting. If all we do is the cheapest thing we will end up where we were <br /> 20 years ago with nothing but courts and parking lots. He asked to what <br /> extent we have input as to how we address the future of our city and how it <br /> will look. He stated that it appeared that decisions were made for Santa Ana <br /> by people that do not take these issues into account. He questioned why the <br /> existing federal parking lot could not be increased to four levels. <br /> • Stated that litter is becoming an increasing problem particularly in areas <br /> where others are invited to participate. There must be some way to assume <br /> financial responsibility for keeping the streets clean. He ran into a <br /> representative from DGWB who stated that moving to Santa Ana was <br /> becoming a challenge. <br /> • The area around Bowers Museum is dirty and needs to be cleaned. <br /> • Caldwell Auto Body on Fairview has scaffolding that is visible and needs to be <br /> looked into. <br /> • At Jackson and 7th near Willowick Golf Course there is a chain link fence that <br /> has been run into by several cars. The area needs landscaping and lighting. <br /> • Cul de sac located at the end of 7w is owned by Santa Ana. It is closed off <br />' with chain link and has not been kept up at all. <br />i <br />D <br />h <br /> Commiss <br />oner <br />oug <br />ty <br />• Stated she did not understand why we could not wash the streets. In Paris <br />and Japan streets are washed everyday. <br />• Asked for clarification as to when garage sale weekend was. Jeffry Rice <br />advised that it was the weekend of September 1. <br />• Asked for an update on how Commissioner Richardson was. Charles View <br />responded that he had expected to attend that night but had not been able to. <br />COMMISSION MINUTES <br />
