Councilmember Mills requested staffi
- research a trial program in Redwood City to detect gunfire sources, for
possible implementation in Santa Ana;
proceed as rapidly as possible with zone changes in the North Main Street
area adjacent to the Interstate-5 freeway; and
- investigate possible sign code violations by the Gonzales Market at Main
and Edinger.
Mills also noted the November 20, 1995 Council Minutes showed Councilmember Moreno had
made a motion for a vote at a Council Study Session held in the Library despite Moreno's
expressed objection to voting outside of the Council Chambers.
Councilmember Espinoza commented that the Council practice of meeting at untelevised study
sessions created a public perception that the Council is acting behind "closed doors."
Mayor Pro Tem Richardson:
- congratulated the COPS Task Force on the 41% crime reduction in the area
west of the railroad to Flower Street between 1 st and 17th Streets;
reported on his attendance at a briefing on police methods to decrease trafficking
in illegal documents and expressed appreciation to those federal agencies
combating this crime in Santa Ana; and
requested staff notify neighborhoods and the public of upcoming traffic delays
resulting from the McFadden Avenue rehabilitation project between Flower
