CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
At the City Manager's request, Executive Director of Finance and Management Services Rod
Coloma reviewed the chronology of events prior to and since the declaration of bankruptcy
by Orange County. He reported Santa Ana's potential loss was $40.8 million on the $150.8
million which had been invested in the Orange County Investment Pool.
City Manager David Ream said the primary impact of any loss would be on the City's capital
projects, but that federal and state capital projects such as the Courthouse and Interstate 5
Freeway widening would still go forward. He anticipated additional Council actions would
be needed as the bankruptcy process unfolded.
