PROPOSED CHARTER AND SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENTS
The Mayor asked if the Councilmembers wished to make any changes to the
proposed Charter and Santa Aha Municipal Code amendments which had been
prepared by the City Attorney.
Vice Mayor McGuigan suggested the Council might wish to reduce the
residency requirements for appointments to vacancies on the City Council
from a year to the same length of time required for residency of
candidates.
Councilmember Acosta expressed the opinion that a longer residency
requirement encouraged a better understanding of the needs of a ward, and
was to be preferred in an appointment process.
By the unanimous informal consent of the Council, Item No. 60.A.
pertaining to the proposed Charter amendments for the November ballot was
deferred to the Evening Session {See Minutes page 245).

Tom Ferrier, 521 S. Birch Street, inquired as to the deadline for placing
measures on the ballot for the November 8, 1988 election and asked if the
measure concerning Ward Elections would be on the ballot.
The Mayor explained that the deadline for ballot measures was August l,
1988 since the Council did not have any more meetings before August 12,
1988, the deadline for submitting ballot measures to the Registrar of
Voters, and that the ward election measure would not be on the ballot.
H~rtley Mill, 617 S. Starboard, indicated he was confused that the motion
concerning ward elections had not passed since the vote was three to two.
The City Attorney explained four votes were required to approve actions .by
the City Council (Charter Section 410).
Sean Mill, 617 S. Starboard, expressed concern with the lack of student
representation on the Recreation and Parks Board, since only the Santa Ana
Unified School District Student Body was represented on the Board and not
the Garden Grove School District in which the students of the Western part
of the City are enrolled.
Carl Barnes, 814 £. Third Street, expressed concern regarding the
continuing problems created by transients in his neighborhood.
