~RANGE COUNTY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
SUPPORTED
Councilman Brandt informed
the Council that the Executive
Committee of SCAG had taken
an action to authorize a
site selection study for a
potential airport; and that
the action had been taken
without advice or consent of the Transportation Advisory Commis-
sion of which Mr. Brandt is a member. Mr. Brandt suggested that
Orange County transportation concerns are not being considered
by SCAG. He also questioned the advisability of the action in
light of the fact that SCAG is not empowered to build an airport
and can only study and report on the subject.
Councilman Brandt moved and Mayor Evans seconded the motion to
notify SCAG of Santa Ana's severe dissatisfaction with the action
of the Executive Committee to authorize a site selection study
for a potential airport.
After discussion of the motion, Mayor Evans proposed a substitute
motion to withdraw membership in SCAG. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Ortiz and carried 4:3, with Councilmen Ward, Garthe
and Bricken dissenting.

by Councilman Yamamoto to withdraw from membership in the Orange
County League of California Cities. The motion was defeated by

League of California Cities of Santa Ana's action to withdraw

of the Orange County
Environmental Management
Agency made an oral and
slide presentation of the
plans that have been
9.5 mile length of the
Santiago Creek from the Villa Park Dam to the Santa Ana River and
specifically for the river area lying within the City of Santa
Ana from the Santa Ana Freeway to the Santa Ana River. The
planners included options for equestrian and bicycle trails that
had been suggested in earlier discussions relating to the estab-
lishment of a greenbelt along Santiago Creek.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
51 FEBRUARY 6, 1978
Mr. Bob Rendy stated that the plan had been presented to the Board
of Supervisors on January 17, 1978 and that they had directed
the EMA, prior to any Board action, to present the plan to the
cities involved and to the interested citizens; that the Board
continued the matter to February 22, 1978; that the desire of the
EMA is to provide a plan to address as broad a range of needs
as possible while ~rovidin~ desirable flood control: and that it
is their obiective to ~resent the ~lan alternatives and the
impacts of each.
Mr. Jim Miller, Project Manager, stated that the Environmental
Management Agency had initiated the study because of the flood
hazard that exists along the Santiago Creek; that the Corps
of Engineers prepared a plan in June 1975 to accommodate a design
storm (estimated 100 year storm) generating 21,000 cubic feet per
second of water; that without flood control, such a storm would
inundate 6,500 acres with more than one foot of water involving
an estimated 16,600 residential structures and cause damage
estimated to cost $87 million; that the 1969 storm was less
than one-third of the intensity of the design storm, but
nevertheless caused considerable damage; that to avoid the
undesirable Corps of Engineers design, the EMA proposes to
raise the crest of the Santiago Dam and to build a retarding
basin north of Chapman Avenue; that the most expensive design
alternative would cost $8.5 million. Mr. Miller continued by
explaining in detail the configurations, right-of-way require-
ments, cost, and advantages and disadvantages of each of the
six proposed alternatives.
Councilman Ward read a statement reflecting the views of citizens
compiled as the result of numerous public meetings and consensus
of Council, requesting further alternate design proposals more
acceptable to the City of Santa Aha including the elimination
of all horse trails within the City limits and bicycle trails
in the creek bed, no public access along the creek bed between
Flower Street and the Santa Ana River, except for emergency
and maintenance purposes. The Councilman further suggested that
additional consideration be given to flow reduction and retention
measures upstream and that further consideration be given to
developing a design without vertical walls to provide adequate
flood protection while maintaining the existing right-of-way and
natural state of the existing channel.
Councilman Bricken concurred with these comments emphasizing the
fact that citizens along the Creek want flood control, but not
at the cost of completely sacrificing the desirable aspects of
the Creek.
On the motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Bricken,
Staff was directed to advise the Flood Control District and the
Board of Supervisors that Santa Ana seeks new alternatives which
can achieve flood control in a manner more acceptable to Santa
Ana residents, carried 7:0 unanimously.
Rudy Montejano, 2360 Riverside Drive, representing the North Santa
Ana Homeowners Association, stated that the Council action taken
was approved by the northeast and northwest area citizens. He
emphasized that the future viability of the City of Santa Ana
depends upon the protection and maintenance of its residential
neighborhoods of all ethnic backgrounds; that the City needs
all of them to maintain itself as a place where people want to
live.
A further motion by Councilman Garthe, seconded by Councilman
Brandt, and carried 6:1, with Councilman Yamamoto dissenting,
was to direct Staff to assure the Flood Control District and the
Board of Supervisors that Santa Ana wishes to achieve improved
flood control measures from the Santiago Creek downstream along
the Santa Aha River to the extent that it will eliminate the
present Federal requirement for homeowners flood insurance.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 56 FEBRUARY 6, 1978
COMMUNITY REQUEST RE Police Chief Raymond Davis,
COP PROGRAM SERVICE TO BLACK summarized briefly his
COMMUNITY -REFERRED TO HRC report dated January 31,
1978 and recommended that
further examination of the concerns expressed by the community
at the January 16 Council meeting be referred to the Santa Aha
Human Relations Commission for a report back to Council at the
first Council meeting in March; and that the examination should
include a review of the handling of the cartoon related incident
and the quality of police service extended to the Black community.
Speaking on the subject from the audience were:
Nathan Hill, 209 E. 20th Street
Mickey Madden, 2319 North Rosewood
Vida Martin, 730 South Lyon
Nathan Hill stated that there is need for a much closer examina-
tion of certain programs of high cost to the citizens of Santa
Ana; that such an examination should not be delegated to the Human
Relations Commission, but dealt with by the elected representa-
tives of khe citizenry. He read the Law Enforcement Code of
Ethics and questioned whether the Community Oriented Policing
program lived up to those standards.
Vida Martin called for the dismissal of the Police Officer who
initiated the alleged racially derogatory cartoon because he is
in her stated opinion unfit to serve in a multi-ethnic community.
Mickey Madden suggested that the Officer had made a mistake, and
that we should learn to live together.
Councilman Ward moved the recommendation of the Police Chief,
seconded by Councilman Bricken, but the motion failed on a 3:4
vote, with Councilmen Brandt, Garthe, Ortiz and Mayor Evans
dissenting.
Following Council discussion, Councilman Bricken moved to direct
the Human Relations Commission to evaluate the Community Oriented
Police program as to the level of service in the Black community,
restricting their investigation or involvement to those areas
outside personnel policies and practices, and to report back
to Council its observations and recommendations; the motion was
seconded by Councilman Brandt, and carried 4:3, with Councilmen
Ward and Yamamoto, and Mayor Evans dissenting. CA 47
