STRAY ANIMALS IN SOUTHWEST Mayor Evans recognized
SANTA ANA Mr. Charles Mosley, 1133
STAFF DIRECTED South Spruce Street. Mr.
Mosley had filed a petition
signed by 65 residents, on behalf of the Corbin-Jerome Centers
Advisory Board requesting an increase in Animal Control due to
an excessive number of stray animals in southwest Santa Ana.
Discussion on the petition had been continued from the July 11
Council meeting to this meeting at his request.
Mr. Mosley stated that he had discussed the problem with various
members of the City staff. He suggested that the City develop
a community awareness program, with southwest Santa Aha as the
pilot program area because many people there are willing to work
with Staff to improve the stray animal condition.
Ms. Judy Stricker, 3001 Royal Palm Drive, Costa Mesa, also
spoke, agreeing with Mr. Mosley as to the seriousness and extent
of the problem, particularly in parks where children play in the
same areas with dog droppings. She stated that she had been
involved in humane work for many years, and that the City's
problem is one of the worst in Orange County; that at least two
more people should be hired to deal with the animal control
problem.
Councilman Ward moved to direct Staff to prepare a concentrated
program to solve the stray dog problem. Councilman Brandt seconded
the motion, adding that the Animal Control Staff should consider

ORAL COMMUNICATION Mr. J. Ogden Markel,
PROPOSITION 13 (JARVIS) 1814 South Parton, stated
OBSERVATIONS that he wanted to comment on
how the City's reaction to
Proposition 13 was affecting him and others. By illustration,
he described a request filed with the Planning Department to
change parking conditions on property he owns on South Main
Street, as requiring five months to process and a building
electrical inspection fee that had been doubled since the passage
of Proposition 13. He suggested that these kinds of reactions
were not a proper response by government to the people's approval
of the Proposition. CA 68
