"Whereas, the southwest section of Santa Ana is
lacking in park sites, and the 17.5 acres owned
by the City in that section is an ideal location,
in the opXnion of this council, for a city park,
but as the municipal elections are immediately at
hand, it is the opinion of this council that
future councils should not be bound by a dedication
by this council of said land for park purposes,
particularly in view of the fact that no funds are
available at the present time for park improvement.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that this council
go on record as favoring the holding of said city
owned acreage for futura park purposes, and that
future councils of this city cooperate in any
available means or plans to eventually have a
city park on said acreage#
