The Council was alerted by the Director that some formal organizational structure would be needed to coordinate the use of space in the Santa Ana High School auditori~, and that possibly with the assistance of Santa Ana College officials who had experience in oversight of such facilities, a monitoring body with m~mbers appointed by Clty Council might be created to broker events.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 132 APRIL 1, 1985 Greenville School Parking The City Manager presented a plan to add more parking on the MacArthur Boulevard side of Griset Park which would provide parking for the Park, as well as a pick-up and drop-off point for parents bringing their children to Greenville School by auto. Because of the shared benefits, he rec~L~ended the cost of this project be equally shared by the School and the City. Councilmembers c~L¥~nted on the plan and agreed that additional parking was not the solution to the concerns expressed by the parents of the Greenville school children. Council further agreed that improved circulation se~a~ed to be the significant factor, and referred the plan to staff for further study and genera- tion of a plan with improved circulation as the primary element for consideration. Telephone Syst~ in Chambers David Borik of Manag~nent Services introduced Jack Sain, a representa- tive of ASI Telesystems. The firm was awarded the bid for the installation of a new Citywide telephone system. Mr. Sain encouraged Councilmembers to express their telephone needs for Council Chambers and meeting roc~ 147, either to his firm directly or through Mr. Borik. Councilmembers noted the need for an increased number of lines into Room 147 and individual telephones for each Councilm~a~ber in Chambers with extra sensitive voice detectors so Councilmembers could use Chamber phones without disrupting on-going Council activities. Mr. Borik indicated that no telephone modifications to Council Chambers or Room 147 would occur without prior Council approval.
