COMMENTS
90.A.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Miles Leach, 2025 W. 10th Street, inquired as to whether the City Charter would prevail
over State mandates in the event of conflicting provisions. City Attorney Edward Cooper
explained that the City was pre-empted by State law in many instances.
Richard Meruelo, 8459 Kass Drive, Buena Park, provided the Council with a letter regarding
a 4,290-square foot property that he has been trying to develop into a music retail business
for the last 18 months. Meruelo requested the Council either waive or lower the
transportation fees due on his project as his project called for a decrease instead of an
increase in floor area.
Mayor Young referred Meruelo's request to the City Manager and the City Attorney, asked
the Council to schedule a session to reevaluate the City's transportation fees, requested staff
provide Council with a background memo on the Meruelo project, and urged staff to reassess
the approval process that took 18 months to review a project under 5,000 square feet.
Ron Heike, 1010 W. Santa Clara, thanked the Council for approving the Main Street bridge
closure traffic plan and reported the traffic plan was working well.
Paul Le, 1814 W. Carlton, asked why the City has not made an offer to buy his property
under the Bristol Corridor Project. Community Development Agency Executive Director
Cindy Nelson explained that the City cannot acquire Mr. Le's property at this time because
Le's property falls outside the target area of the current acquisition schedule which is limited
to the sections of Bristol from McFadden to Edinger and from First Street to Tenth Street.
90.B.
CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Lutz commended the Orange County Lumber employees who pursued and
apprehended the suspect in a diamond necklace-snatching incident that occurred on
September 2, 1993 near the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center; admonished
opponents of the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) to temper their campaign with common
sense so as not to unduly alarm residents; and congratulated Recreation and Community
Services Executive Director Allen Doby on the Santa Ana Zoo's "Amazon's Edge" opening
ceremony.
Councilmember Mills encouraged Jim Walker and his colleagues to work with the Chamber
of Commerce to determine what smoking regulations Santa Ana businesses have established
and to collaborate with the Chamber of Commerce in crafting regulations that would be
acceptable to the parties concerned. Mills also requested the Council meeting be adjourned
in memory of Corinne Segerstrom who recently died in a freak accident on the Segerstrom
family's farm.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 306 SEPTEMBER 7, 1993
