INTER-COUNTY AIRPORT Council continued its
AUTHORITY discussion from the
October 7 meeting regard-
ing the invitation from
the Inter-County Airport Authority to participate in the joint
powers agreement, as a prime city, to determine if there is a
practical solution to the deficiencies in public air service
forecast for the Counties of Orange, southern San Bernardino,
and western Riverside, and to conduct and operate an air
carrier airport if a practical site can be found in the area.
The City Attorney stated that he had delivered a written report
to the Council prior to its earlier Executive Session; that the
most important feature is the fact that if Council takes no
action, there will be no adverse practical or legal effect on
the Authority; that its timetable should not be disturbed;
that the addition of Santa Aha might add only political per-
suasion.
He added that there were many unknown factors; that Staff should
be given opportunity to explore the fact that a sponsor is wil-
ling to spend two to three hundred thousand dollars on the mere
feasibility study unless there was substantial personal finan-
cial gain involved; that there are many aspects tkat require
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 386 OCTOBER 14, 1974
careful scrutiny; for example, the completely open-ended
operating agreements should be drafted with more precision.
The City Attorney suggested that Council defer action until
the title investigations ordered have been completed and the
people really involved, including the extent of their involve-
ment, are known, what their hoped-for financial reward shall
be and from what sources.
The following persons spoke in favor of the City's participa-
tion in the Authority:
Mr. Joseph Sammon, Project Director of the Inter-County
Airport Authority
Mr. George Logan, Attorney for the Authority
Mr. Alfred R. Gray, Executive Secretary, Building
and Construction Trades Council of Orange County
The proponents stated that the site location for the airport
will be determined when the feasibility study has been com-
pleted; that in order to comply with requirements of DOT, FAA,
CALTRANS and SCAG alternate sites must be reviewed; that these
sites will be reviewed; that copies of the Requests for Propo-
sals to conduct the study have been given to the City Manager
for his and Council's information; that, briefly, the voting
system is one vote for each 20,000 population and the city with
the largest population cannot exceed the number of votes of
the total of the other member cities; that Santa Ana is the
only city which has been invited to participate although other
cities have expressed interest in participation; that Santa
Ana could withdraw from the agreement upon completion of the
Master Plan Phase with 30-days' notice with no financial con-
tribution in the meantime; that in all probability the agree-
ments could be revised to accommodate the City; that the build-
ing and construction trades endorse and support the airport
concept.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the City's partici-
pation in the Authority:
Mr. Sam Cooper, 1350 Arrowood Drive, Brea, City
Councilman of Brea and Chairman, Chino Hills
Wilderness Park Task Force
Mr. George Hayward, representing PATCH (Prevent
Airport Through Chino Hills)
Ms. Carolyn Ewing, Mayor Pro Tem of Yorba Linda
The opponents stated that practically all of the elected govern-
mental officials are opposed to the Chino Hills Airport, includ-
ing both California Senators, Congressmen, State legislators
and County Supervisors; that Chino Hills appears to be the only
feasible site for an airport; that Council should proceed
slowly and not rush into a decision without having all of the
pertinent information; that if Chino Hills were selected, that
a thorough study and report had been made in July, 1972 at
a cost of $7,000; and that a saving of taxpayers money would
be effected if Council declined the invitation to join the
Authority.
The opponents added that it is time to be concentrating on mass
rapid-transit; that consultant studies are slanted toward what
the group is looking for with predetermined answers; and that
Santa Ana's name is needed to open doors in Sacramento and
Washington for government funding.

letter prominently displayed in the Yellow Cab Drivers' Room
