AGENDA ORDER
FAIR HOUSING COUNCIL AGRE]B~ENT
~Consideration of the Orange
County Fair Housing Council
agreement was given earlier in
the meeting (Minutes page 499).
AGENDA ORDER - JOINT WELL FIELD
PROJECT IN SOUTH SANTA ANA
CONTINUED TO JANUARY 15, 1979
the Orange County Water District.
Consideration of the request for
a joint water well field in South
Santa Ana was taken at this time
to acconmodate the speaker from
Neil. C~ine, Secretary-Manager of the Orange County Water District, was intro-
duced by Councilman Garthe. Mr. Cline stated that the Orange County Water
District was formed in 1933 at a time when 100% of the water was supplied by
wells, and when water levels were dropping dramatically; that since that time
the members have worked together to solve water problems and have paid assess-
ments for water use to enable the District to purchase additional water; that
in 1956 the water level was at an all time low, somewhere near 700,000 acre
feet overdraft; that since then the District has been in very good shape; that
there are approximately 1,200 wells in the County, 200 of which are operated by
City and private water conrpanies; and that the County's water demand is about
the same as it was in 1933.
He continued by stating that the request of the Irvine Ranch Water District was
for an additional 20,000 to 30,000 acre feet of water; that the Orange County
Water District has purchased a portion of the Santa Aha River to provide reten-
tion of more surface water; that the Metropolitan Water District of Orange
County has been investigating the offset problem at East Orange County Feeder
#2 which furnishes water in the southeast part of Orange County, and that there
is a proposal to expand that facility to make additional water available for
ground water supply; that during the seven months of summer drain off~ suffic-
ient water could be provided by an injection process and that the same method
could be used in the South Santa Ana field; that the alternate solution being
investigated is to purchase additional water from Metropolitan Water District
for percolation in the Santiago Creek area to raise the level of water in the
basi~ to offset the estimated draw down in the south part of the City.
Mr. Cline addressed the question of drought, stating that during 1975-76, Orange
County was the only area in the State with an adequate water supply; that there
are one million acre feet available below the surface; that it is not unusual
for a City to have wells in other cities; that the District's long range plan
includes use of the future runoff from Riverside and San Bernardino Counties;
that the District will not expand its boundaries except for current members;
and that the District is not sure what the future demands for water will be, but
the District will guarantee that at least 50% of the water requirement will
always be available from the subsurface.
By UNANIMOUS INFORMAL CONSENT of the Council, consideration of this matter
was continued to January 15, 1979, at 3:00 p.m, when Mr. Cline plans to return
to report further on the subject of water supply and distribution to the County.

RELOCATION OF RESCUE CENTER A report from staff regarding
SANTA ANA BLVD. BETWEEN FULLER & GRAND the efforts to locate a suitable
plSAPPROVED; COMMITTEE DISBANDED site for the relocation of the
Orange County Rescue Center from
the downtown area was submitted to the Council for its review and considera-
tion. A memerand~n from Councilman Bricken, as a member of a Task Force
organized to assist the Rescue Center with its relocation efforts, outlining
the evaluations of the various sites available for this use, was submitted as
an additional information item. Councilman Bricken spoke further regarding
the site, on the north side of Santa Aha Boulevard between Fuller and Grand
Avenue, selected and recommended by the Task Force Committee. Of particular
concern to the Committee was how the Center would impact the neighborhood
residents and business people, and the organization as it would be operated.
Following Councilman Bricken's comments, Mayor Evans invited whose wishing
to speak in favor of the proposed location to address the Council.
Speaking in favor were:
Supervisor Philip Anthony
Steve Braselton, Chairman, Orange County Rescue Center
David Flaherty, President, City Center Association
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

DECEMBER18, 1978
Supervisor Anthony complimented the Committee for its participation and sincer~e
efforts to develop a solution to the Rescue Center problem. He stated that the
property proposed as a site for the Center is owned by the County and would
be available as surplus property for the recommended use.
Mr. Braselton en~0hasized that the Center has a right to exist, and that the
proposed site would be acceptable to the Mission as to its location, proximity
to the downtown area, and suitability for construction; that the Mission
(Rescue Center) is now well organized and financially able to purchase the
site. Mr. Flaherty added that the Mission can accomplish more with a better
facility; however, there will never be a perfect site, and that the recommended
site is the best solution among those considered.
Speakers in opposition to the proposed relocation were:
Josephine Andrade, 935 Logan Street
Sergio Ruiz, 1338 N. Custer
Martin Conzalez, 1008 E. Washington Avenue
Lucy Romero, 1042 Lincoln Avenue
Bob Storey, 3081 Moloka Place, Costa Mesa; 1146 E. Washington Ave., business
Preston Guillory, 1006 N. French
Cypriana Billa, 917 Logan Street
Sam Romero, 2034 S. Spruce
Keith Welputt, Attorney for Lyle Blystone, contractor, 1126 E. Washington
Robert Richardson, 1305 E. 14th Street
The speakers expressed recognition for the worthwhile work of the Mission, but
strong opposition to its location in a residential area, stating that children
in the neighborhood would be distressed by the sight of the Center's clients;
that older residents would not feel safe; that the Mission should be located
near the people it serves; that the businesses in the area would anticipate
difficulty in keeping customers and employees; that there would be additional
expense to the City in increased police patrol, street cleaning and traffic
problems in the neighborhood;that there would be potential health problems
from litter, garbage and human wastes; that transients would be encouraged to
move through a residential area; and that location of the Mission in the Logan
area would be unfair to residents who are trying to inrprove their neighborhood.
Mr. Storey presented a petition containing 23 signatures representing the
business people in the area who are opposed to the proposed Mission site.
There were no other speakers and no additional written communications. The
Mayor closed the public hearing. Following comments and questions by the
Council, MOTION was made by Ortiz, seconded by Yamamoto, that the Council not
accept the proposed location as a site for the Rescue Mission.
