Trustee Kelsey gave an explanation for the present meeting,
stating that Colonel Glenn, Major Tull and Major Bailey and
members of the City Council had investigated several sites
for the location of a Flying Cadet Replacement Base, among
them being the Berry Rancho on Newport Boulevard adjacent
to the intersection of Paularino Road. It was stated that
there was a definite interest shown by the Army officials
for the Berry Rancho, consisting of 411.95 acres, providing
certain requirements could be made as follows:
1. Lease. (a) 25 year with option to purchase --~
'(b) Including wells on propertyJ
2. Clear mineral rights or obtain waiver of mineral
privileges during lease period.
(s) Certificate from Department of Interior.
3. Proper proceedings by Coundil showing authority to
negotiate.
4. Certificate of ownership of property or Title Insurance
Policy.
5. Public utility commitments.
/~I Telephone Company, at least six lines.
~' Gas Company--specifications already relayed

8. Right of way for sewer line.
7. Commitments from Board of Buperviaors on County airport
and hangar--need five acres--separate lease between the
County of Orange and U.S. Government.
8. Right of way from Baker Btreet over either Lot 13 or
9. Eight county maps as exhibits.
Attorney George Tobias explained receiving an option to leas~
and an option to purchase the Berry Rancho from M.H. Whittier
Company, Etd., which affords the City of Banta Ana 120 days
within which to enter into a lease and option to purchase
said land at a yearly rental price of $15.80 per acre per
year, the Oity to pay the taxes assessed against the property
during the rental periods, the lease calling for a year
period with option to renew from year to year for a total
period of twenty-five years. The option to purchase at any
time with the twenty-five years is at a price of $800.00 per
acre. Lease was not assignable and the City could sub-let
only to the United Btates Government for military purposes,
with like option to lease from year to year for a twenty-
five year period and an option to purchase. The annual rental
due the Whittier Company would be $~8.00. Whittie~ Compan~
reserves the mineral rights on a fifty-fifty Oasis, only in
case the option to purchase was exercised by the City alone;
if the ~.B. Government un, er the sublease exercises its
option to purchase, all mineral rights reserved by lessor
shall be conveyed to the City and in turn to the U.B. Govern~
merit. The annual re~tal value of $830~.00, provided option
to lease is exercised is to be paid in advance on the first
of August~; and ~he City is' boun~ to exercise its option to
renew th~ lease if the GoVernment 'has e~ercis~d its option.
It was next explained that the present tenant was occupying
the property pursuant to a written lgase which would not end
until 19A9; that the tenant had now spent $~A00.00 on the
present crop and asked $~800.00 to surrender the lease and
that hie additional costs would be $800.00 between now and
August lat. In order to dispossess the tenant by ~ugust
the amount of $8700.00 was stipulated as a pay-off tO b'e
equally divided between Whittier Company and the City.

AUthorizing Execution of
Option-M.H.~tler Company.
If possession is needed prior to Augua~ 1st and amount
equivalent to $25.00 per day for the unexpired time shall be
deducted from the $6700.00; any salvage on the crop harves-
ted shall be divided equally between the City and Whittier
Company. If possession is not required until after August
1st the tenant.shall Deceive $25.00 per day in addition to
the $6700.00 for such time, less any amount obtained through
salvage or harvest of the crop. The option also provided
that if the Government leased the property for less than
five years the unexpired proportion of Whittier Company's
share of the tenant's pay-off must be paid by the City to
Whittier Company. The lease from Whittier Company was to
cover the entire acreage plus the two existing wells with
its machinery and equipment. The present improvements are
to b$ removed by the Whittier Company at its expense. Any
buildings and improvements placed on the property by the
City.or the Government are to be removed within ninety days
after the expiration of the leasing terms.
Trustee Smith expressed his objections as follows:
Objected to the City renting the property for $15.50 per
acre or paying any other sum whatsoever; also objected to
binding the City for a twenty-five year period in the face
of its inability to obtain such an amount through taxation
or otherwise; also ~Je~ to the City assuming the taxes
estimated at $4.4~/~5~ ~ ~$riod of twenty-£ive years;
objected to assuming any taxes whatsoever in connection with
the property; objected to the payment of any damage or ~onus
to the tenant on the property in order to obtain immediate
possession; objected to the City becoming obligated for a
period of twenty-five years for the rental of this property;
objected to the price and the option to purchase of $500.00
per acre; objected to the lease itself and the lease general]
Discussion was l~en had as to the leasing of other property
and Trustee Kelsey and Attorney Tobias stated that the pro-
perry in question was the only property which would be con-
sidered by the Government officials and that the best posSi-
ble deal was obtained from Whittier Company by its option
already explained; that attempts had been made to secure
other property which would ~eet with the approval of the
Government and that attempts had been made to decrease the
rentals and obligations under the Whittier Company lease but
both had proved futile.
Trustee Kelsey objected to Trustee Smith referring to the
lease for a twenty-five year period and stated that it was
merely a lease for one year with the privilege of renewing
from year to year for a period of twenty-five years; also
stating that the City is not obligating itself to pay the
taxes for twenty-five years but only in the event that the
lease ie renewed year after year for a total of twenty-five
years.
Trustee Yost a~d Trustee Hill both expressed their opinions
that the option tendered by Whittier Company and the o
ity afforded the City to deal with the Government in this
project would prove highly beneficial to the City and the
public generally.
Mr. F. A. Jones, rApresen$ing the Santa And Chamber of Com-
merce, gave an expression of the organization he represented
and of the business men generally, ~hat the Council should
enter into the negotiations with both the Whittier Company
and the Government as had been explained.
On motion of Trustee Yost, seconded by Hill and carried,

Rlgh~-of-way
from Berry Rancho.
Attorney Tobias explained that the right-of-way leading into
%he Berry Rancho from Baker Street, which had been of.feted
the City of Santa Aha and submitted to the Government offi-
cials covered Lot la, Block D, ~erry Tract, for a considera-
tion of $78.00 a year and option to purchase for $5000L00.
It was further explained that Lot 12, Block D, Berry Tract
was neither acceptable to the Government officials'or the
City of Santa Ana and~therefore it became necessery to seek
a right-of-way over another piece of property.
The City Clerk has.now received an option from A. B. Roussell!e
covering Lot 18, Block A, Berry Tract, which is acceptable
to the Government. This option to the City is for a yearly
rental for the five acres of $~10.00, the City to pay the
taxes; the privilege to lease said property for $~10.00 plus
taxes-from year to year for six years, at which time the
privilege to purchase is given the City on lmaymen~ of $1.00.
It was stated that the Title Company shows the property ln'th~
name of the First Nationa~ Bank in Santa Aha and A. B.
Rousselle evidences an option from the Bank to himself to
purchase said property, negotiations for such purchase now
being in escrow. The acceptance of this option from A. B.
Rousselle was recommended.

Letter to
Sou. Calif. Edison Co.,
Army Cadet Flying School.
On motion ef Trustee Eelsey, seconded by Trustee Yost and car~
tied, the following message was unanimously adopted and
ordered directed to the Southern 0alifornla Edison Company
Ltd., at Santa Ana,Oall~o~nla:
The City of Santa Aha is about to complete a contract with
the United States Army to provide land and other pertinent
facilities for an Army Flying Cadet School. The fact that
the project is located about two miles from the south city
limits of Santa Aha and approximately seven miles from
Huntington Beach compels us to request that the district
boundary line now existing between Edison Santa Aha and
Huntington Beach districts be changed to include the United
States Army Cadet Flying School entirely within the Edison
5ants Ana.dietrict.
The project ia beh~g financed and promoted by the City of
Santa Aha and we are very much concerned that nothing happensI
in the future to even indicate that it ia anything but a
Santa Aha project.
From an economic standpoint, we are quite sure that both
Edison Company and the City of Santa Aha will more fully
benefit by making the district boundary change as suggested.
Your immediate consideration to our request will be very
much appreciated.
