ORAL COMMUNICATION Councilman Evans stated
CHINO HILLS AIRPORT that he had not requested
Mr. Joseph Sammon,
representing proponents
of the Chino Hills Airport, to advise the Clerk of the Council
to carry the item on the Agenda for Council discussion of a
proposal from Mayor Dutton of Anaheim that the City participate
in a joint powers agreement to conduct feasibility studies
relative to the proposed airport.
Mr. Sammon stated that he had followed up on Mayor Dutton's
letter to the Orange County Cities, dated October 29, 1973, to
request that the City Attorney review the joint powers agree-
ment and submit his report to the Council as to its content
and purpose; and that the City Council could then decide
whether or not they desired to enter into the joint powers
agreement.
Discussion by Council included information that SCAG had done
a number of similar studies; that Santa Aha is far removed
from the environmental impact of an airport in Chino Hills;
that a compatible airport for the County is essential for its
growth; that Ontario Airport would be only another 12 - 15
minute drive from the proposed Chino Hills location; that it
is opposed by the County, most County cities and SCAG; that
Santa Ana was on record as favoring the proposal (4 - 3 vote);
and that the joint powers agreement had been signed by the
cities of Anaheim, Chino and Stanton.
Councilman Evans' motion, seconded by Councilman Garthe, to
instruct the City Attorney to contact the Anaheim City
Attorney and provide the Council with a report on the joint
powers agreement and its effect on Santa Ana, failed on the
following roll call vote:
AYES: Evans, Garthe, Markel
