Clerk of the Council Florence I. Malone announced that Notice
of the Filing of the Assessment and of the time and place for
hearing were duly and regularly published, posted and mailed,
all as prescribed by law, and that the following affidavits
showing such compliance are on file in the Office of the Clerk
of the Council: 1) Affidavit of Publication; 2) Certificate
of Mailing; 3) Certificate of Posting.
Director of Public Works John Stevens, referring to his report
dated November 3, 1977, announced that of the total cost of
$389,250, approximately 53% is to be paid by the City and 47%
is to be paid by the property owners receiving the benefit; that
the 47%, in the amount of $175,098, was spread among the prop-
erty owners at the rate of $14.92 a front foot; and that the
average assessment for an interior and corner lot is $716.16 and
$1,191.74, respectively.
Clerk of the Council Florence I. Malone read three letters
filed with her prior to the hearing concerning the assessments
in the subject district from:
Madge L. Dowling, 5507 West Silver Drive and David Lee
Foster, 5512 W. Silver Drive (Assessment No. 44 and 82,
respectively)
Pastor George R. Dunivent, Silver Acres Church, 5218 W.
Silver Drive (Assessment No. 61 &62)
Nancy L. Foster, 5512 W. Silver Drive (Assessment No. 82)
Pastor Dunivent was present at the meeting and stated that he
had no objection to the improvement, but that his protest con-
cerned the assessment for the driveway extension; that the
assessment of $290.00 was higher than the $120.00 estimate
given.
Also present to comment was Louis Norman, 13362 Nina Place,
Garden Grove, who stated that he would like a more detailed
breakdown of costs (Assessment No. 17, 24 and 25).
He further stated that a chain link fence in front of his
property at 5221 Roosevelt Way had been removed by the con-
tractor, and he requested that it be replaced; that a survey
pin in his driveway had also been removed, and he requested
that it be put back; and that he estimates his assessment
is approximately $3,000 more than it should have been.
In responding to the comments, the Director of Public Works
stated that between the time that estimates were given for
assessment charges and the time the project was bid (August
1976 - July 1977) the price of asphalt went from 55¢ to
$1.00 per square foot; and that in the case of Silver Acres
Church slightly more work had been done than had been originally
anticipated.
The Director of Public Works also stated that Mrs. Nancy Foster's
letter was correct, the property description on her assessment
notice did have an error, which has been corrected, and the
assessment has been adjusted to reflect the correction.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 403 NOVEMBER 7, 1977
In response to Mrs. Dowling's and Mr. Foster's letter object-
ing to being assessed for the retaining wall at 5502 W. Silver
Drive, the Director of Public Works stated that the total cost
of $1,500 for the wall had been spread over the entire Dis-
trict (approximately $6.00 per assessment) because the retain-
ing wall was necessary for proper drainage and the original
agreement was that the City would be responsible for the costs
for street work, pavement, street trees and lights and the
residents would be responsible for concrete work and the retain-
ing wall was ancillary facility to the sidewalk.

Robert Cielnicky, 9771 E1 Tulipan Circle, Fountain Valley,
reported that Dr. Allred is seeking to construct a facility
that will offer abortion services; that the Council may wish
to determine whether such a facility is a detriment to Santa Ana;
what effect increased abortion services have on the well-being
of the community; what effect abortion has on the well-being
of the patient; that the Council may wish to determine the
economic effect on the community now and in ten years in the
future. He requested Council to withhold the building permit
until the abortionist has provided an impact statement to
determine if it can be shown that the best interests of the
community are served, "then let it proceed; but human life
deserves at least that consideration".
