Relations Commission, stated that the proposed Clinic policy came
to the attention of the Santa Ana Human Relations Commission and
was reviewed at its March 21, 1978 meeting; and that Commissioners

REFERRED TO CITY ATTORNEY 7:0 unanimously, the report

available to the City with regard to the enforcement of its own

Office or other options to carry out the same philosophy as
embodied in those ordinances; to instruct the Staff to continue
to work with Postmaster Bakke and the citizens to abate the
noise and to report back to Council on May 15, 1978.
Wayne Miller, 1401 East Avalon, resident behind the Post Office,
stated that he was alarmed that this report was labeled a "Final
Report"; that a number of the suggestions for reducing the noise
such as double-paned windows or air conditioning would be an
expense to the property owner which he feels should be borne by
the City; that he feels there is legal precedent in cases against
the Los Angeles Airport to support City liability for such measures;
and that the noise from the Post Office and objectionable activi-
ties by employees and others in the Post Office area have been
reduced, but that his last complaint to the Post Office was on
April 13, 1978, at 10:45 P.M., regarding the public address system
