PARKING RESTRICTIONS (Continued)
Mayor Griset stated that although he would like to see the curbside parking
remain, he felt that with the removal of the parking, traffic would move
much faster and that we need to relieve the congestion.
Mr. Bucker asked Council to consider granting the parking on a temporary
basis until after the widening is completed.
The City Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution prohibiting parking
on both sides of 17th Street between Main and Spurgeon between the hours of
7:00 to 9:00 A.M. and 3:00 to 7:00 P.M., excepting on Sundays and Holidays,
on the unanimously carried motion of Councilman Herrin, seconded by
Councilman Patterson.

At 9:05 P.M., a five minute recess
was declared. Council reconvened at
SANTA ANA POLICE OFFICERS On motion of Councilman Herrin, and
BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION seconded by Councilman Villa, and
unanimously carried, Council referred
to staff the request of the Police Benevolent Association to consider an incentive
rotation plan and conversion to a four day work week (10 hours per day), and set
the matter for public hearing at 7:30 P.M., or as soon thereafter as possible,
on August 21, 1972.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Anthony LaCava, 14792 Carfax
Drive, Tustin, stated that he is the
owner of the rental units at 2501-2505 South Baker Street; that he objects to
installing a commercial trash bin because it is dangerous and cannot be legally
located on his property; that he is being charged for trash pick-up but is not
being serviced, and that it is the City's obligation to provide that service. He
requested that he be given a waiver from the Code requirement, and filed with
the Clerk and each Councilman a letter dated August 7, 1972, setting forth his
position in this matter.
The Mayor referred Mr. LaCava to the Director of Public Works and the City
Attorney for resolution of his problem.
Councilman Patterson requested that his vote be recorded as opposed to holding
a public hearing to consider the request of the Santa Ana Police Officers Benevolent
Association for an incentive rotation plan and a four-day, 10-hour work week
because it is a "meet and confer item".
Mrs. Janice Boer, 912 N. Lowell, referred to Resolution 72-8l in which Council
had appointed certain members to write arguments for and against Bond Proposi-
tions and requested reconsideration of the matter. She further stated that the
Clerk is supposed to advertise for those who would like to write the arguments
and that by the Council writing con arguments themselves they are depriving
citizens of their right to redress for grievances.

AY ES:

ABSENT:
Herrin, Patterson, Markel, Villa, Griset, Yamamoto
Evans
None
Prior to voting, Councilman Herrin stated that his reason for voting against the
request is that it doesn't meet the warrants for a stop sign; that he is very respon-
sive to petitions and needs of the people, but if Council did not follow established
guidelines, the City would have traffic devices at every turn and he depends on
the Traffic Department for recommendations.
Councilman Evans stated that he had knowledge of the area and that he thinks a
stop sign is needed.
PARKING RESTRICTIONS The Council considered the recom-
17TH BETWEEN MAIN ST. & mendations of the Director of Public

Main and Spurgeon Streets after the present widening of 17th Street is completed
and to maintain the "No Stopping at Any Time" restriction on both sides of
17th Street between Spurgeon Street and Penn Way.
Mr. Toppin, 222 E. 17th Street, stated that he employs 13 people who depend on
and need their jobs; that he has between 50 to 75 walk-in customers a day who
use the curbside parking for only approximately 5 to 10 minutes, that most of
his business is during the middle of the day; and that if curbside parking is
eliminated, he will lose most of his business.
Mr. Max Becket, O'Donnell Travel Bureau, ZlZ 17th Street, stated that if the
parking is removed, it would be very bad for his business; that they would have
no other choice but to relocate which is a very complicated process for a Travel
Agency; that removing parking is not going to help the traffic situation on 17th
Street; that the real problem is the design problem of the overpass of the Santa

Prior to voting, Councilman Herrin stated that his reason for voting against the
request is that it doesn't meet the warrants for a stop sign; that he is very respon-
sive to petitions and needs of the people, but if Council did not follow established

the Traffic Department for recommendations.

PARKING RESTRICTIONS The Council considered the recom~
17TH BETWEEN MAIN ST. & mendations of the Director of Public

and need their jobs; that he has between 50 to 75 walk-in customers a day who
use the curbside parking for only approximately 5 to 10 minutes, that most of
his business is during the middle of the day; and that if curbside parking is
eliminated, he will lose most of his business.
Mr. Max Becket, O'Donnell Travel Bureau, ZlZ 17th Street, stated that if the
parking is removed~ it would be very had for his business; that they would have
no other choice but to relocate which is a very complicated process for a Travel

PARKING RESTRICTIONS (Continued)
Mayor Griset stated that although he would like to see the curbside parking
remain, he felt that with the removal of the parking, traffic would move

rotation plan and conversion to a four day work week (10 hours per day), and set
the matter for public hearing at ?:30 P.M., or as soon thereafter as possible,

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Anthony LaCava, 14792 Carfax
Drive~ Tustin~ stated that he is the
owner of the rental units at 2501-2505 South Baker Street; that he objects to
installing a commercial trash bin because it is dangerous and cannot be legally
located on his property; that he is being charged for trash pick-up but is not
being serviced, and that it is the City's obligation to provide that service. He
requested that he be given a waiver from the Code requirement, and filed with
the Clerk and each Councilman a letter dated August 7, 1972, setting forth his
position in this matter.
The Mayor referred Mr. LaCava to the Director of Public Works and the City
Attorney for resolution of his problem.
Councilman Patterson requested that his vote be recorded as opposed to holding
a public hearing to consider the request of the Santa Ana Police Officers Benevolent
Association for an incentive rotation plan and a four-day, 10-hour work week
because it is a "meet and confer item".
Mrs. Janice Boer, 912 N. Lowell, referred to Resolution 7Z-8l in which Council
had appointed certain members to write arguments for and against Bond Proposi-
tions and requested reconsideration of the matter. She further stated that the
Clerk is supposed to advertise for those who would like to write the arguments
and that by the Council writing con arguments themselves they are depriving
citizens of their right to redress for grievances.
