This <br /> is a standard procedure for all Council Committees. The PREY By-Laws will <br /> go before Council for approval. <br /> o MOTIONS: <br /> • Mayor Pro Tern Tinajero - Motion to establish Committee, Motion <br /> passed <br /> ¦ Council Member Amezcua - Motion to appoint Mayor Pro Tern <br /> Tinajero Committee Chair - Motion passed <br /> • Council Member Reyna - Motion to appoint Council Member Amezcua <br /> Committee Vice Chair- Motion Passed <br /> • PUBLIC COMMENTS: <br /> o Pedro Magallon asked when sports lighting to DYSC #2 and #4 would be <br /> repaired. Many lights are not working. Mr. Magallon also asked when <br /> damaged turf to DYSC #4 would be repaired and the timeline for the work to <br /> be completed on the Spurgeon fields. <br /> o Jesus Nieto objected to the changes made regarding recent adult baseball <br /> • lottery and redistribution of fields. Rules have been violated. New league <br /> does not meet the required Santa Ana player resident percentage to be able <br /> to have fields. Small percentage of players are Santa Ana residents and do <br /> not comply with the rules. Certain individuals were given privileges. The new <br /> league is bringing in teams from outside of Santa Ana. Requested Council <br /> committee to do what's best for Santa Ana. <br /> o Manny Quintana indicated he is a resident of Santa Ana for 50 years and was <br /> the first to bring adult baseball to Santa Ana. Some people indicated he <br /> profits from using school fields and blames him for damaging the school <br /> fields. He was the first to use school fields and has letters from different <br /> schools on donations he has made to schools he used. He said he received <br /> a call from Mayor Pro Tern Tinajero and was told it can be proven what he <br /> has done over the years and why doesn't he take his league to Fullerton. The <br /> new lottery only affected him. <br /> o Henry Buenrostro indicated that the new lottery system is good because it <br /> benefits the community, youth and schools. School fields look good and the <br /> lottery system levels the playing field for all leagues. The fields belong to the <br /> community and the city, not the leagues. The Council Committee is moving in <br /> the right direction with this decision. Competition is good as it improves the <br /> quality a program has to offer and holds everyone accountable. Baseball is <br /> alive in Santa Ana and he loves the game. He feels privileged to have played <br /> the game at a high level and would like to give back to the community. They <br /> have former players that maintain the fields the right way to keep them <br /> • looking nice so players feel proud to play on well-maintained fields.
