POLICY FOR RAISED The Director of Public
MEDIANS ON EXISTING Works provided responses
ARTERIAL STREETS to the questions asked
by Councilman Bricken
at the Study Session held on January 6, 1975, to review the
City's policy with regard to raised medians on existing
arterial streets. He stated that (1) special maintenance
crew structuring would provide no additional benefit to the
maintenance program; (2) uniform landscaping treatment would
not result in a significant cost savings and true savings
would be realized by selecting the least costly maintenance
design in the beginning; (3) the. smaller the median, the more
difficult it is to find acceptable planting material; (4)
the average maintenance cost is $4,000 a mile per year; the
least expensive method is dense shrubbery ($3,000 per mile
per year), followed by turf ($5,000 per mile per year),
ground cover ($6,000 per mile per yea~,,and flowers ($9,000
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 39 FEBRUARY 3, 1975
per mile per year); primarily the City's program consists of
a combination of shrubbery and trees which requires a minimum
amount of landscaping.
Councilman Markel stated that he was opposed to medians
except if they are painted.
Councilman Yamamoto stated that he favored medians planted
with trees and shrubs.
Councilmen Ward and Griset stated that they favored medians
using a combination of bomanite and shrubs.
Councilman Garthe stated that he favored medians using bomanite
and trees for fewer maintenance problems.
Councilman Bricken stated that he favored a mixture of
"hardscape" and "softscape" to keep maintenance costs at
a minimum.
Mayor Evans stated his opinion that the maintenance should
be the responsibility of the Department of Public Works;
and that he favored concrete (rather than bomanite) and
trees. CA 29.14

Mr. Spragg said that the City Charter requires a 10-year
capital improvement program, but that revenue forecasting
had never been sufficient to go along with it. Mr. Spragg
emphasized that most cities are looking toward this kind
of program to take a longer view, but that the first step
toward producing this kind of information would be for
Council to permit the hiring of the personnel to fill the
three Management Analyst positions.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 48 FEBRUARY 3, 1975
BUDGET FORECASTING Councilman Bricken
& PRIORITIES referred to his
memorandum to the
City Manager, dated
January 15, 1975, and emphasized his concern for develop-
ing a forecasting and priority procedure to enable Council
to deal with budgeting with some visibility and a sense of
goals. Mayor Evans stated that Council had considered
budget forecasting last year in connection with a $50,000
item providing for three Budget Analyst positions. The
Mayor asked the City Manager to advise the Council of staff's
progress in implementing a forecasting and priority procedure.
Councilman Ward expressed Council's general desire to obtain
this information. The City Manager said that the most prac-
tical way to achieve the goal would be to start by phasing-in
with a two year forecast initially; that department heads
would be getting their budgets within the next six weeks and
that he would like to get the staff thinking along the lines
of a multi-year budget.
Mayor Evans concluded the discussion by stating that Council-
man Bricken's comments were well-taken and because Council
would soon be faced with the problems of funding an increase
in paramedic services and the recommendations of the Crime
Commission, that the Council would need this kind of focus;
that the Council is in favor of implementing the City Manager's
program; and that budget analysis is the City's highest
priority. CA 65B

USE OF CITY PARKS motion, seconded by

amend the Rules and
Regulations pertaining to the use of City parks and/or
facilities to add a provision, to require that all organized
groups applying for exclusive use of any park facility for
sports shall provide insurance as required by the City of
Santa Aha, with the City designated as additional insured,
carried with Councilman Yamamoto dissenting. The motion
provided that a copy of the insurance policy or certificate
of insurance must be submitted to the City Clerk prior to
any scheduled use of city parks or facilities; that said
insurance certificate or policy shall provide for no cancel-
lation or reduction in coverage until the expiration of
twenty days written notice to the Clerk; that minimum
coverage shall be $100,000 for bodily injury to any one
person, $300,000 for bodily injury to more than one person
which is sustained in the same accident, and $100,000 for
property damage resulting from any one accident; and that
in addition, all players, coaches, and personnel shall be
covered by a minimum of $1,000 per person medical insurance.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 49 FEBRUARY 3, 1975
A prior motion by Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Mayor
Evans, to approve the form of a proposed agreement between
the City and various Little League teams for use of City
park facilities for the Little League baseball programs,
was withdrawn by the maker with the consent of the second.
Still another motion by Councilman Griset, seconded by
Councilman Markel, to refer the matter back to staff, was
withdrawn by the maker and second.
The Council consensus was that the proposed agreement form
was too stringent and would discourage Little League
interest and participation; and that the provision relating
to liability insurance was all that the City required from
the groups using the park facilities. CA 52

that his organization was proud to be the sponsoring organi-
zation of the Bicentennial celebration in Santa Aha. He
said that the Chamber will conduct and direct the activities

NEGATIVE DECLARATION Mayor Evans asked
GENERAL PLAN ADDITION Chuck Zimmerman,
SCENIC CORRIDOR ELEMENT Planning Director,
for a presentation
of the proposed Scenic Corridor Element of the City of
Santa Aha adding a Scenic Corridor Element to the General
Plan.
Mr. Zimmerman explained that the State requires several
General Plan elements, one of which is the Scenic Corridors
~lement; that although the original intent of the State
was to designate State highway routes as "scenic routes"
with the official state designation, it did not preclude
local agencies from developing and adopting local scenic
routes; because of the lack of existing and potentital
State "scenic highways", the plan identifies and considers
local scenic amenities and corridors for emphasis in this
Scenic Corridor Plan. Mr. Zimmerman asked Mr. Sundstrom
of the Planning Department to explain the key factors of
the Plan, which were described as 1) Linkages to parks,
2) Boulevard and parkway development, 3) Urban entrances,
4) State freeway system, 5) Railroad and utility rights
of way, and 5) The Bicycle Plan.
The Mayor opened the public hearing on the proposed Scenic
Corridor Element and the Negative Declaration therefor.
There were no comments from the audience.
Councilman Griset made, and Councilman Yamamoto seconded,
a motion to approve the Negative Declaration. The motion
carried unanimously.
On motion by Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman
Ward, the following Resolution was unanimously approved:
RESOLUTION NO. 75-14 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ADDING A SCENIC
CORRIDORS ELEMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN.
Councilman Griset made a motion seconded by Councilman Ward
to receive and file a Report from the Planning Director
dated January 6, 1975 regarding Landscaping of Raised
Medians on 17th Street, First Street, MacArthur Boulevard,
Bristol Street, Main Street, Flower Street, Warner
Avenue, Harbor Boulevard, and Grand Avenue. The motion
carried unanimously. CA 78.3f

BIKE LANE When asked for a
CIVIC CENTER DRIVE staff presentation
PARKING REMOVAL by the Mayor,
Ron Wolford, Public
Works Director, stated that Council had previously
reviewed the bike lane plan and had adopted it in concep-
tual form months ago following public hearings. He
indicated the routes of Phase I which have already been
constructed. He informed Council that a notification
procedure had been followed and 162 questionnaires were
distributed to the property owners and residents; after
reviewing the results, a compromise plan had been developed~
with parking restricted on only one side of the street.
The Clerk advised the Mayor that no written communications
had been received; the Mayor then called for testimony from
the audience.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 54 FEBRUARY 3, 1975
The following persons spoke in opposition to the proposed
removal of parking:
Victor Rivera, 1532 Civic Center Drive West
John Fuentes, 1416 Civic Center Drive West, Principal
of Taft School
Ignacio de Gonzalez, 2205 Civic Center Drive West
Tony Sanchez, 1420 Civic Center Drive West
Councilmen Ward, Yamamoto and Griset expressed their concern
for the high bicycle accident rate and their feeling that
the benefits of the bike lane exceeded the inconvenience
of the few whose parking would be restricted. Councilman
Yamamoto made, and Councilman Ward seconded, a motion to
instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution approving
the bike lane on Civic Center Drive and the removal of park-
ing along the south side and limited segments of the north
side between Fairview and Flower Streets, and to instruct
the staff to provide some sort of answer for Mr. Victor Ri-
vera's particular parking needs due to his wheelchair con-
finement. The motion failed (3-4), with Councilmen Garthe,
Markel and Bricken, and Mayor Evans dissenting.
Councilman Garthe expressed concern for those persons on
Civic Center Drive who had previously given up property
for the widening of Civic Center Drive and who now were
being asked to give up parking on the street. Councilman
Bricken favored a bike path through the Civic Center Plaza
and further routes to be coordinated with redevelopment.
Councilman Ward suggested that an alternate route be con-
sidered to replace the bike lane proposed for Civic Center
Drive, and requested a study session for further discussion
of the matter. The staff responded that an alternate
plan could be developed for Santa Aha Boulevard, but would
require elimination of parking on both sides. CA 18.6

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT that this was the time
THREE-YEAR PLAN and place for the
combined public hear-
ings for the Negative Declaration and the Community Develop-
ment Three-Year Plan and the Application for funds under
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
The City Manager stated that since the Negative Declaration
is concerned with a plan, there is no discernible impact
to the environment; and that Negative Declarations or
Environmental Impact Reports would be prepared for each
particular project of the plan presented to Council in the
future.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 55 FEBRUARY 3, 1975
City Manager Spragg referred to his written report to Council
dated January 31, 1975, and described the proposed plan
for use of the Community Development Funds ($4,670,000
for the three years commencing 1975 through 1978, and
$7,200,000 for the three years commencing 1978 through
1981 for a total of $11,870,000) allocated under the
Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
He stated that the Plan is divided into nine Program
Categories as follows:
1. Development of Neighborhood Plans
2. Redevelopment Project
3. Senior Citizens Housing Project
4. Water System
5. Housing Replacement Program:
A. Central City Area
B. Other Areas
6. Rehabilitation Loans
7. Neighborhood Improvements
8. C-5-F Storm Drain
9. Contingency & Administration
He stated further that no specific plans have been considered
in the Delhi Area except the eventual moving of the Corpora-
tion Yard to the Fruit Street area which cannot be accomplished
for two to three years; that the City will not propose any
redevelopment project which does not meet with the approval
of the residents of the area.
The City Manager concluded by describing in greater detail
the nine proposed programs as set forth in Exhibit B of
Resolution No. 75-8, stating that the thrust is to preserve
and improve the housing conditions in the City, to make
the environment better, and to arrest blight and slums;
that the staff proposes to work with citizens advisory
groups and to seek their input and support for the programs.
Mayor ~vans invited comments from the audience on both the
Negative Declaration and the Community Development Three-
Year Plan. The following persons spoke:
John Saavedra, 2219 S. Cedar, representing Delhi Homeowners
Association
Ray Villa, 2106 N. Bristol Street
Gloria Gallegos, 2331 S. Evergreen
Mr. Valenzuela, 418 E. Stanford
Roy Uno, 4405 Sunswept
Alex Nalle, 2212 N. Flower
Billy C. Hall, representing the City Center Association
Josephine Esparza, 625 Adams
Dana Daniels, Orange County Human Relations Commission
Although no overall opposition to the Negative Declaration
or the Three-Year Plan was expressed, John Saavedra spoke
for the residents of the Delhi Area in opposition to the
formation of a Redevelopment Project Area in the Delhi Community,
and filed with the Clerk of the Council an eight page 'petition
signed by area residents requesting the City Council to reject
any plans, studies, or recommendations to create a Redevelopment
Project in the area. He also requested establishment of a
community advisory board, for the use of Community Development
funds within the area, as soon as possible.
Mr. Villa asked who would be administering the Community
oevelopment funds and he suggested that it should be the
Community Relations division of the Manager's staff because
it does deal with housing. He requested that Community
Development funds not be diverted into the Community
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 56 FEBRUARY 3, 1975
Redevelopment Program; and that EDA (Economic Development
Administration) funds be sought by application so that
the CD funds could be used exclusively for Community
Development because there is not enough money.
Ms. Gallegos expressed dissatisfaction with the school, the
park and the pool provided for the Delhi Area.
Mr. Valenzuela favored moving the Corporation Yard because
of the accident potential from too many trucks in and out
of the area.
Mr. Uno opposed 40 per cent of the funds being spent in the
downtown Redevelopment Area when other areas needed immediate
relief.
Mr. Nalle spoke in favor of the funds allocated for the
downtown area to improve the tax income by attracting new
business into the downtown area.
Mr. Hall concurred, stating that the City needs the tax base
from the commercial district or the cost of City services
must be borne by the individual homeowner.
Ms. Esparza stated that Delhi could wait to move the Corpora-
tion Yard.
Ms. Daniels stated that local Human Relations Commissions
have the option of reviewing Community Development Plans and
would be reviewing Santa Ana's Plan. She suggested that
citizens contact the Commission.
There were no further opponents or proponents and the Mayor
closed the hearing.
The City Manager pointed out that the Central City (downtown)
statistically has the highest percentage of families below
the poverty level, of the unemployed, of families receiving
public assistance, of overcrowding, highschool dropouts,
density per residential acre - Orange County's social disas-
ter area.
Councilman Garthe moved to receive and file the Negative
Declaration, including all relative comments. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Bricken and carried unanimously.
The following resolution was read by title only by the Clerk
following a unanimously carried motion by Councilman Bricken,
seconded by Councilman Garthe, to waive full reading and
