OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA
February 24, 1983
Following a tour of the Edvard Munch exhibit at Newport Harbor Museum,
Evelyn Hart, Mayor of the City of Newport Beach, called to order a meet-
ing of councilmembers, staff and public from the cities of Costa Mesa,
Irvine, Newport Beach, and Santa Ana, at 7:46 p.m., in the Community
Room of the Newport Center Branch Library, 850 San Clemente Drive,
Newport Beach.
Santa Ana Councilmembers present were R. W. Luxembourger, J. Ogden Markel,
Patricia A. McGuigan, and Mayor Gordon Bricken. Also present were City
Manager A. J. Wilson, City Attorney Edward J. Cooper, and Clerk of the
Council Janice C. Guy. Councilmembers John Acosta, Daniel E. Griset, and
Alfred C. Serrato were absent.
INTER-CITY LIAISON COMMITTEE Herman Basmaciyan of Basmaciyan-
5-YEAR TRANSPORTATION STUDY Darnell, Inc. outlined the basic
premise of a 5-year transporta-
tion study, for Central Orange
County involving the cities of Costa Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach, and
Santa Aha, i.e., that no funding would be available for capital improve-
ments proposed in the CENTROCCS study other than that available in the
City budgets of the cities involved in the project; and that basic travel
behavior patterns for the area would not change. He further discussed
growth projections for the major land uses in the area, and estimates of
trip-making based on those projections. In response to a specific ques-
tion relative to the John Wayne Airport, Mr. Basmaciyan indicated that
his firm anticipated no major change in that facility, and reported his
studies indicated approximately 15,000 trips per day were generated at
the airport out of 1.3 million per day for the CENTROCCS area.
A1 Hollinden gave a slide presentation which reinforced Mr. Basmaciyan's
statements regarding funding. Through a slide presentation, he demon-
strated how inflation was eroding gas tax revenues, resulting in decreased
purchasing power for capital improvements in each of the four cities.
He suggested that, realistically, possible revenue sources for roadway
construction might be available from the State Motor Fuel Tax, City
parking fees, additional sales tax, development fees, and assessment
districts. He added that trip ends might be utilized as the basis to
calculate developer and/or assessment district fees. Both Mr. Basmaciyan
and Mr. Hollinden responded to questions and comments from the council-
members present.
Mayor Bricken announced to the assembled group that Santa Ana had been
awarded the distinction of an All-America City Award by the National
Municipal League.
