At this point I <br />think the resolution you have before you this evening is a reasonable compromise and should be approved <br />by the City. <br />A great deal of work and effort has gone into getting the agreement to this stage. We cannot reasonably <br />withhold further approval to the purchaser of the property as they have made a good faith effort to honor <br />the Sexlinger family legacy. <br />This would be a good time for the Council to focus some energy on identifying the few remaining parcels <br />in the City that would make good parkland and begin a dialogue with property owners for some long term <br />acquisition. Too many times we find out at the last minute and have no time or resources to take any <br />action. The citizenry is ultimate loser in having so little park space. The quality of life suffers for us all. <br />As an Associate Board Member for the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society it is my understanding <br />that they support this settlement as well. Thank you all for your consideration. <br />3/5/2014 12:21 PM <br />12:21 PM <br />
