AGENDA ORDER - ORAL COMMUNICATION A petition containing 36
THORNTON PARK LAKE signatures requesting the
PETITION FILED City Council to reopen for
consideration the matter
of constructing a lake at Thornton Park was received and filed
on the unanimously carried 7:0 motion of Councilman Yamamoto,
seconded by Councilman Garthe.
Charles A. Wersin, 3130 South Townsend, cited a newspaper article
in "The Register" of May 4, 1977, which he said stated that resi-
dents of the area were 2 to 1 in favor of Thornton Park Lake, but
that the City had shelved the matter for a year and a half. He
presented his petition requesting reconsideration, stating that he
was advised that the 1,500 questionnaires distributed to residents
of the area by the Recreation and Parks Department generated
only 132 responses. He further stated that neither he nor most
of his neighbors had received the questionnaire; that the number
of responses was not a sufficient basis for determination of
the desires of the residents; that residents are in favor of the
lake, but whether or not the lake is developed they want some-
thing done with the park.
Executive Director of Community Services Manuel Rede stated that
the Staff is aware that the survey was limited; that no final
decision has been made regarding the lake and park development;
that the survey will be extended to ensure that the neighborhood
is polled; that the availability of reclaimed water will be a
factor in the final decision; and that he will be happy to meet
with Mr. Wersin to review the proposed budget for the Recreation
and Parks Department, and would welcome Mr. Wersin's participa-
tion in the upcoming budget hearing on Saturday, June 11, 1977.
Mayor Evans requested: 1) that Staff go ahead with the resurvey
of the area and ascertain whether that survey could be evaluated
prior to finalizing the budget; 2) that the Clerk of the Council
provide Mr. Wersin with the dates of the budget hearings; and
3) that Staff provide Mr. Wersin with copies of the budget items
pertaining to Thornton Park. (Agenda Item 47) CA 52
Councilman Ortiz arrived during the foregoing presentation.

by Garden Grove to affect the outcome of negotiations between
the two cities concerning Garden Grove's proposal for deannexation
of Willowick by Santa Aha; and that the people who are required
to pay the surcharge are being unfairly used by the City of
Garden Grove.

tions concerning Willowick. CA 12

no conflict with either side; that senior citizens would be
supportive of the medical facilities; that senior citizens
projects are difficult to locate because of constraints and
