deposit of $1,162 for
street and sidewalk improvement be waived until such time
as construction commences, and that authorization to turn
on utilities be given. The request was referred to Staff
for investigation and report, at the next Council meeting
(July 14), on the motion of Councilman Evans, seconded by
Councilman Ward, and carried (?-0) unanimously. Mr. Keller
told Council that he had moved a house onto the property;
that he did not know about the cash deposit requirement
until the final inspection had been made and he called for
the utilities to be turned on; that he had borrowed money
for this investment; that it would be a hardship for him
at this time to make the payment; that he has tenants ready
to move into the house; and that since the City will not
allow the improvements to be put in at this time, he feels
that it is unreasonable for this money to be deposited now.

Councilman Bricken stated that the record should indicate
that his vote of approval, at this time, is in support of
the Amphitheatre only.
Extensive presentation of the proposal had been made to
the Redevelopment Agency on June 11, 1975.
Mr. Tom Moon, 2604 East Washington, Orange, spoke on behalf
of the Orange County Cultural Center, Inc., in opposition
to the plan; he wished to make the Council aware of the
progress of his organization that has acquired a 52 year
lease for 4½ acres of property in "The City" shopping cen-
ter complex, in Orange, from the Tishman organization to
construct a 3,000-seat music center and a small 800-seat
summer theatre for the performing arts; that the project
has the approval of the Board of Supervisors; that he doesn't
feel the County could support two theaters 1½ miles apart;
and that the cultural center site has convenient freeway
access.
Mr. Billy C. Hall, City Center Association, asked whether
the Orange County Cultural Center continues to have the
support of the rest of the cities of the County now that
a site has been selected; that the City of Santa Ana, as
the County seat, may now be a more acceptable location to
the other cities in the County.
Mr. Moon responded stating that the Association had held
two benefit concerts that were 95% sold out, and that their
membership roll has been increasing steadily.
Councilman Yamamoto stated that he did not support the
motion because he felt that Mr. Kresky had not shown his
ability to develop such a project, and that the City should
proceed with caution in such matters.
