Councilman Markel read the following statement and requested that it be made a parti
of the Minutes:
"Fellow Councilmen: I believe that Santa Aha needs some industry in
order to maintain a good economic beSauce.. My public life in Santa
~na in the past thirty years has always supported that belief, and my
activity on this Council substantiates the fact that I believe in
industrial developaent well located for railroads, for highway, for
water, for sewerage, and wbere the entire development willmake living
in Santa Anabetter.
However, in our transition from a fringe City of a large metropolitan
a~ea to a metropolitan City in our own right I don't believe that we
should abdicate to industry nor to the whims of a few so-called
industrial developers.
I believe that we can m~ke our fine community attractive to industry
by being progressive yet selective, and not by being a community where
anything goes and the sky is the limit.
You and me as Councilmen are charged with a serious part in the future
of Santa Ana, and fully realizing and respectingmyposition I oppose
the adoption of this Ordinance and I vote VNo'
