A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA OPPOSING PROPOSITION A AND SUPPORTING
PROPOSITION B IN THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION TO BE
CONDUCTED IN THE GARDEN GROVE UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT AREA ON THE 27th OF MAY, 1975; AND,
INSTRUCTING THE CLERK OF THE COUNCIL TO PUBLI-
CIZE THIS RESOLUTION TO THOSE SANTA ANA RESIDENTS
WHO RESIDE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE GARDEN
GROVE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WHEREAS, voters who reside within the boundaries of
the Garden Grove Unified School District will be asked in
an election to be conducted on May the 27th, 1975 to decide
whether they wish to voluntarily join the Coast Community
College District; or, to allow the State of California to
assign them to a nearby community college district; and
WHEREAS, 27,723 people living in 7,300 residential
units, although geographically within the boundaries of the
Garden Grove Unified School District, are in fact citizens
of the City of Santa Ana; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has already indicated
the community college district to which these particular
Santa Ana residents would be assigned in the event Proposi-
tion A fails or Proposition B succeeds to be the Rancho San-
tiago Community College District; and
WHEREAS, this council feels that the residents of Santa
Ana should be allowed to attend their own local college rather
than be required to travel to the neighboring cities of Costa
Mesa or Huntington Beach to attend a college there; and
WHEREAS, these same Santa Ana Citizens would also be
required to pay an administrative tax override, over and
above their normal tax rate, of 40¢ per $100 evaluation for
4 years decreasing to 20¢ per $100 for an additional 6 years,
assessed by the Coast Community College District for the
privilege of joining their district; and
WHEREAS, there would be no administrative tax override
if assigned by the State to the local community college
district; and
WHEREAS, the local co~m~unity college district has a
lower normal tax rate than Coast Community College District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of Santa Ana recommend to the voters of Santa
Ana residing within the boundaries of the Garden Grove School
District to support Proposition B in the election to be held
on May the 27th, 1975,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the same voters be recommended
to oppose Proposition A on the same ballot which would deny
them the opportunity to attend their own local community college.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the Council is
hereby directed to publicize this resolution to the concerned
voters, and any other persons or groups she deems appropriate.
