that he, Mayor Garthe and Councilman Brandt have been attempt-
ing to develop the City's position on the matter; that essen-

would be able to retain, at its own option, the choice of
operating its own program or joining with other cities; 3)
Cities should be able to develop the types of things already
started as well as to charge a portion of their costs; that
Santa Ana could utilize non-firemen certified paramedics if
desired; that it would be beneficial if the cities took a
uniform position; that there should be time prior to the elec-
tion for the City to formulate a position. CA 112.22

called to order by Mayor
John Garthe in the Black Star Room of the Saddleback Inn, 1660
East First Street, with all Councilmen in attendance. The fol-
lowing members of the Library Board were also present: Chairman
Bill Hill, Harold Jenkins, Robert Kohl, Ginger Yates. Mr.
Howard Samuelson, Library Director, was also in attendance.
Mr. Samuelson responded to Chairman Hill's request and stated
that the Library is operated efficiently and effectively, but
needs increased per capita support. He distributed a compara-
tive data report of the ten public libraries in Orange County,
indicating that all of them have higher per capita support
than Santa Ana: only one has lower costs per books circulated;
that the City has the third highest number of books circulated
per staff member (over 14,000), the third lowest number of
employees per 100,000 book circulation, and second lowest in
ratio to population.

Mr. Hill stated that the Library bonds will be paid off next
year, and he suggested that the $80 - $90,000 which would be
realized be used for library purposes.
The discussion which followed included a joint powers agree-
ment with the School District for library services, combined
library, park and community center site, main library expansion
increased parking, the opening of the Santa Aha History Room
in the main Library in July, and funding of its staff.
Mr. Samuelson described a proposed community information and
referral service including a listing-.of over 1,000 public,
private and governmental agencies, which would assist people
zn their day to day problems of living.
Chairman Hill stated that a'new bookmobile is needed to replace
the present one, which is 18 years old; and thmt funding might
be available through a federal grant considering the service
it provides to the minority communities in the City.
Mr. Samuelson suggested that Council might want to reconsider
its previous denial of the Personnel Department recommendation
to reclassify certain Library employees who are performing work
above their classifications. He stated that the proposal would
redistribute work more equitably and give greater opportunity
to move from one classification to another.
Mr/ ~pragg stated that the 1-1/2% bond fund referred to by Mr.
Hill would actually generate over $100,000 per year, which
would almost operate a branch library; and that there are four
possible funding sources:
1) Sell the existing old site and build on a site
owned by the City;
2) Use $90,000 reserve fund which has been maintained
for a branch library;
5) Use Community Development funds;
4) Combine all the foregoing and the midyear general
revenue sharing monies.
He added that a branch library could be built if Council decides
it is the highest priority.
Chairman Hill suggested a combined-use building for Library and
Community Center. CA 56.1

rear access (south); and 2) that no provision for drainage
from his land was provided; and that the developer of the
proposed tract has indicated that he will provide drainage
and a sewer line to Mr. McDaniel's property.
Arthur Aune, 2333 North Broadway, Attorney representing Mr.
McDaniel, stated that his client would prefer to see Rene
Drive extended northerly to Pomona; that he had been told
by a gentleman in the Building Department that the only way
it could work would be to run Rene generally easterly, which
would affect the northerly and westerly portion of his client's
property even more adversely; that he had talked with Hugh
Foreman, representing the owner and developer, and if Council
will not consider the extension of Rene Street to Pomona,
then he would accept the developer's assurance that drainage
and sewer problems would be taken care of.
Hugh Foreman, representing the owners and developers of the
proposed tract, stated that they had agreed to provide a
sewer and outlet drainage for Mr. McDaniel's property; that
Mr. McDaniel had previously owned a much larger parcel and
had subdivided it, leaving himself with the present parcel,
with which he claims to have difficulties; that Mr. McDaniel
had declined to sell his property to Mr. Lukens.

problem also. Mr. Foreman responded that they were planning
to use an asphalt ditch to drain Mr. Watson's property down
to Rene as part of the development of the tract.
Mr. Aune stated that. Mr. Foreman indicates all of the problems
have been solved; that it is apparent there are some serious
problems that exist; that further consideration of the over-
all development of the general area is merited; and that he
urged Council to consider it in that light.
