CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 352 DECEMBER 4, 1995
COMMENTS
90.A. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Miles Leach opined that enforcement of speed limits was a better traffic mitigation measure than
speed bumps; traffic problems were making people sell their homes; diverters were creating even
more traffic; and traffic enforcement responsibility should fall more on Police and less on Public
Works. Leach expressed concerns about Public Works procedures for polling neighborhoods on
traffic plans.
Sal Juarez referred to a recent Register newspaper article on "Ghost Town, Santa Ana" and
contended that the problem was not created by illegal immigration but by lack of code
enforcement and by competition from modern shopping centers; reported that a scaled -down
Northgate Market proposal had been submitted to the City and asked Council to support the
project; and stated he had decided to discontinue his neighborhood improvement volunteer
efforts.
Stan Long requested the December 18, 1995 Council Study Session in the Main Library with the
Environmental and Transportation Advisory Committe (ETAC) be televised in order to increase
public awareness of traffic issues and their mitigation process. (Councilmember Moreno asked
the Council to grant the request. Councilmember Mills noted the logistical problems involved,
encouraged interested residents to attend the December 18 Study Session at the Library, and
suggested any ETAC procedural changes be presented at next month's regularly televised Council
meeting.)
Florence Leach opined that the Council vote on the Santa Ana 2000 Scholarship Fund at the
November 20, 1995 Study Session was inappropriate and asked for written public disclosure on
the administration and financing of the Scholarship Fund.
Anne Long alluded to Stan Long's ETAC request above and opined the public was interested in
knowing both the outcome of and reasons behind a Council vote.
Mayor Pulido clarified that the Council will proceed with the December 18 Study Session as
scheduled and that the Council would not be voting on ETAC issues until the next televised
Council meeting.
90.B. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Lutz reported that Council Services Manager Lorraine Lazarine was recuperating
from major surgery; commended Police Captain Bruce Carlson, Sergeant Paul Gonsalves,
Sergeant Dan Carr, and Officer Leo Carillo for their prompt action in resolving constituent
complaints of loud, unruly parties; and wished everyone "Happy Holidays."
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 353 DECEMBER 4, 1995
Councilmember Mills:
asked staff respond to the Logan Neighborhood Association's request for the City
to remove a burned -out building on the northwest corner of Lincoln and
Washington;
clarified the November 20, 1995 Council vote reallocated the $300,000 Santa Ana
2000 Scholarship Fund by giving $100,000 to the Scholarship Fund (in addition
to $600,000 the City had already set aside) and $200,000 to the City's Library
programs; and
explained this action was designed to address urgent Library budget problems and
to benefit both college and K-12 students.
Mayor Pro Tem Richardson:
- reported that the Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) won a California
School Board Association Golden Bell Award for SAUSD's Healthy Tomorrows
Program, a health screening program provided at Santa Ana elementary schools;
- noted that SAUSD has won more Golden Bell Awards than any school district in
the state;
- announced a Historic French Park Model Block Open House at the 900 block of
North French Street was scheduled for December 6, 1995 at 3:00 p.m., and
- requested the Mayor adjourn the meeting in memory of recently deceased Harvey
Nienow, a Santa Ana resident and patent attorney who served on the Boys &
Girls Club Board of Directors for 20 years.
Councilmember McGuigan reported on her attendance at a National League of Cities (NLC)
session on Disaster Training and the Oklahoma City bombing incident, then asked City Manager
Ream to provide Council with a report on Santa Ana's disaster preparedness program. In
response to McGuigan's query, Planning & Building Executive Director Uptegraff announced
that a staff presentation on the non -judicial board review process for code violations was on the
January 2, 1996 Council meeting agenda. McGuigan delivered her annual holiday greetings and
message to drive safely.
Councilmember Moreno indicated he was going on vacation and would be absent from the
December 18, 1995 City Council meeting, and wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
Mayor Pulido cited several NLC sessions he found highly informative and suggested tapes of the
sessions be made available to interested Councilmembers. Pulido also asked staff to investigate
the feasibility of replicating a Dallas, Texas program that provides playgrounds in areas short on
open space by temporarily closing off public streets at certain times for neighborhood recreational
activities.
