BUSINESS SESSION
MINUTES
Miles Leach, 2025 W. 10th St., expressed the opinion that the Minutes should be a history
of the City, and complained that the Minutes of August 19 regarding the Washington Square
Neighborhood Traffic Protection Plan did not include the position (pro or con) of those who
spoke concerning the Plan.
The Clerk of the Council explained that the long-standing practice of the Clerk's Office was
to list speakers only, not their positions, on non-public hearing items and further clarified
that the Minutes constitutes the record, not the history, of legislative actions (see also
Minutes page 268).

COMMENTS
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 268 SEFrEMBl~ 3, 1991
90.A. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Miles Leach reiterated his concerns that the August 19 Minutes, even as revised, did not
reflect the history of the action taken by the Council in approving the Washington Square
Neighborhood Traffic Protection Plan (see Minutes page 266).
Kim McPeck, 1823 S. Ross, cited a lack of public notice to the Bristol Manor Neighborhood
Association concerning the proposed closure of Baker Street (see Minutes page 267), noted
data had not been collected regarding traffic in the affected neighborhood, and suggested
additional traffic safety measures be investigated for the elementary school at Edinger and
Flower Streets.
Berniece Pohlmann updated the Council concerning her neighborhood's attempt to preserve
large trees which were causing street and sidewalk deterioration on Forest Avenue and
indicated an arborist's report would be forwarded to the City in approximately five weeks.
Councilmember McGuigan expressed concern that trees recommended for removal but not
removed could result in additional liability for the City.
90.C.
CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
In response to an inquiry from Councilmember Norton, the Fire Chief provided the Council
with a report concerning firefighters injured during a 5-alarm fire over the weekend.
Councilmember Norton requested the firefighters be sent an appropriate communication
expressing the Council's best wishes for their recovery.
Councilmember McGuigan requested staff review the signal timing of the pedestrian crossing
at Ross and Civic Center. She also noted the schedule broadcast by Comcast Cablevision
concerning City events contained numerous inaccuracies and requested staff advise Comcast.
Mayor Pro Tern Pulido commended Guy Ball on his recent publication, "Uncle Guy's
Treasure Map to Santa Ana," indicating the map contained some 33 places to see and visit in
the City.
Councilmember Richardson reported he had met with a group of firefighters the previous
week who expressed their approval of the removal of overnight parking in the Willard-Ross
area. He requested staff provide the Council with the Code Enforcement history of two
buildings: one at 1602 N. Ross Street and the second at 425 E. 16th Street.
