30-35%; that the contractor, Great Western Reclamation, was
in the midst of a labor negotiation which would undoubtedly
conclude in a raise in labor cost; that the 23% raise in rates
proposed by staff and agreed to by the contractor would be
a fair settlement. Councilman Ward's motion to adopt the

of the Police Department was so far below the national
average; and that in his opinion it should have been an
important priority for this City.
Police Chief Ray Davis reviewed the highlights of the
report, and commended the Commission for its sincere
interest and hard work to search out the facts; he stated
that basically the solution appeared to be community involve-
ment. In answer to Mayor Evans' request, Chief Davis
described briefly the team policing concept that is being
proposed, adding that it was proving successful for the
77th Street District of Los Angeles, and for the City of
Pasadena.
Chief Davis provided commentary for a slide presentation
of various charts and graphs, extracted from the Commission's
Report, depicting the increase of Part I Crime in the City
for the preceding 10-year period, the ratio of police
personnel to population, and the ever-increasing workload
of the Police Department. The charts indicated that it
would require 84 additional sworn personnel to meet the
national averages of sworn and non-sworn personnel per
thousand population. The Chief stated that the Commission
recommended maximum utilization of non-sworn personnel,
with a total increase of 88 personnel, 64 sworn and 24
non-sworn.
Mr. Richard Miranda, a member of the Commission, said that
he wanted to be on the Commission, and was proud to have
served; that in his view the Police Department is a very
progressive one, wanting to do its job for the City; and
that the challenge is now the Council's.
Mr. William Lauder stated that he had experienced vandalism
of his property; that the young people responsible had been
apprehended and were released without having to make
restitution of Mr. Lauder's loss. He asked how crime
could be stopped when no punishment was required. Mayor
Evans noted that Item 7 of the recommendations of the
Commission addressed itself to this situation.
Mr. Billy C. Hall, Executive Director of City Center Associa-
tion, described downtown Santa Ana as a place where women
are afraid to shop in the daytime as well as at night; and
stated that his Association was in favor of team policing,
and that it would recommend that there be a walking patrol.
Mr. Paul Blake, a South Main businessman, related crimes
that he and his family experienced, and concluded that citi-
zens can hardly walk the streets of South Main without being
molested.
Mr. Zeke Hernandez expressed his support of a Youth Services
Unit within the Police Department. He stated that he would
like to see police officers attend a seminar on body
language to aid them in dealing with citizens; and that
police officers also attend in-service training in community
awareness.
Chief Davis responded to this suggestion by explaining that
the program being proposed would necessitate extensive training.
City Manager Bruce Spragg suggested that Council continue the
matter of funding for study and in-depth discussion. He
pointed out that the Police Department budget represents 30
per cent of the City's total operating budget and 25 per cent
of the combined operating and capital budgets. He stated
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 71 FEBRUARY 18, 1975
that the question is whether 30 per cent of the City's
resources is enough to lower the 270 per cent increase
in the crime rate; and that in his opinion what has been
presented is the most viable program to improve public
safety.
There were no other proponents, and no opponents; the
Clerk reported there were no written communications; and
the Mayor closed the Public Hearing.
The Mayor suggested that Council schedule one or two study
sessions, open to the public, and move forward with the
recommended program as rapidly as possible, in an effort
to determine the best method for its funding.
Councilmen Griset and Ward agreed with the Mayor, and sug-
gested that Council determine sources of funding for the
program as soon as possible.
Councilmen Garthe and Markel agreed that crime is the fault
of society; that if society reforms, crime will vanish; that
justice should be administered in a timely manner instead
of spending more money for policemen.
Councilmen Bricken and Yamamoto agreed that immediate action
implementing the report was a necessity, even though it might
be expensive. Councilman Bricken stated that the program may
be the answer to one overriding fact about law in this
country; namely, adherence to the law is the responsibility
of each citizen and each one must accept the responsibility
for his neighbors' adherence as well; that such accomplish-
ment is worth almost any price, within reason, at this point,
even though it cannot be guaranteed.
Councilman Yamamoto stated that the real solution to crime
suppression involves the social aspect of the problem and
proper training of children in their formative years.
Mayor Evans reminded Council that the matter of funding an
additional paramedic unit was also pending.
Councilman Ward moved that Council adopt the recommendations
of the Citizens Crime Prevention Commission, excluding Num-
bers 5 and 8, regarding establishment of a Grants Manager
position and the continuance of the Citizens Crime Prevention
Commission, respectively, as the principles, policies and
goals of the City Council, and instruct staff to provide
input for funding the proposal at Council's next study session.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Bricken.
Councilman Yamamoto's motion to amend the main motion to
include recommendation Numbers 5 and 8, was seconded by Mayor
Evans, and carried (5-2), with Councilmen Ward and Bricken
dissenting.
The main motion, as amended, was unanimously approved. CA 47.8

PUBLIC HEARING Mayor Evans opened
17TH STREET MEDIANS the public hearing
to consider the
installation of
raised landscaped medians on 17th Street between Ross and
Main Streets.
The Director of Public Works stated that the proposed median
was in conformance with Council adopted policy, dating back
to 1966, and recommended by the Planning Commission, that
it will include the widening of 17th Street on both sides
to provide a 6-lane divided highway; that a landscaped
median is much more effective than a painted one in reduc-
ing accidents; and that 46 businesses are involved in the
proposal.
Mr. Leonard Pamplin, owner of Paramount Men's Hair Styling,
333 W. 17th Street, who had previously written to the Council
in opposition to the proposal, filed a petition, signed by
33 business people on 17th Street, opposing the proposed
median, and spoke vigorously against the proposal. He
stated that customers and potential customers would be so
inconvenienced that all the businesses would be hurt or
destroyed; and that these businessmen had been in their
locations for many years which had helped to build 17th
Street and had provided tax revenues for the City; and that
there is no real need for the raised median.
Om motion of Councilman Markel, seconded by Councilman Garthe,
and unanimously (7-0) approved, the petition opposing the
median proposal submitted was received and filed.
The following persons also spoke in opposition to the median
proposal:
Dave Lemmons, representing Pizza Pete on 17th Street
Wade Herrin, 1505 N. Baker, owner of Arco Station on
17th at Broadway
Jerry Arnold, 8881 Pacific Avenue, representing Alpha
Beta Market
Henry Fernandez, 335 West l?th Street
Aaron Silver, representing Aaron's Clock Shop
Walter Cole, 321 W. 17th Street, Johnson's Orthopedic
Dick Marshall, 617 West 17th Street
Vic Silver, owner of 17th Street property between
Jefferson and Ross
The opponents expressed their opposition citing the same
reasons as Mr. Pamplin. In addition they stated that the
costs for construction and maintenance of the median would
be prohibitive; that medians damage automobiles; that the
businessmen between Ross and Bristol Streets should also
have been notified of the hearing because logically their
area would be next for the same proposal; and that Council
should be more concerned with easy access to businesses on
the street than with beautifying the street.
There were no other opponents and no proponents; the Clerk
reported there were no other written communications; the
Mayor closed the Public Hearing.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 75 FEBRUARY 18, 1975
Councilman Markel moved to receive and file the report and
not to authorize the construction of medians on 17th Street.
The motion was seconded by Mayor Evans, but did not pass,
with Councilmen Griset, Ward, Yamamoto and Bricken voting
No. A discussion of possible compromise followed.
On the motion of Councilman Griset, seconded by Councilman
Yamamoto, the Council authorized the construction of an
arterial raised median on 17th Street from Ross to Main
(4-3), with Councilmen Bricken and Markel and Mayor Evans
dissenting. CA 29.14
