WORKSTUDY SESSION
Bi-Annual Council Conference
Councilm~a~bers discussed possible dates and locations for their
bi-annual conference to discuss next year's policy initiatives.
Following a brief discussion, the Council tentatively decided on
August 9-11, 1985 at an out-of-town location, any place between San
Diego and Santa Barbara to be arranged by staff. The City Manager
indicated the Councilmembers would review possible agenda it,s for
the conference prior to preparation of the final agenda.
Capital Im~rov~ents Financing Program
David Ream, Project Director, for the Citywide Capital Improv~nents
Financing Program, provided a brief overview of the City's proposed
Financing Program, explaining the proposed bond issue would provide
sufficient funds for imple~nentation of projects contained in the cur-
rent master plan, as well as provide an impetus for significant pri-
vate investment. He reported that 12 financial consultants and six
bond counsels had responded to the City's Request for Proposals for
the Financing Program, and that staff was reco~ending an extr~ely
experienced team composed of Jones, Hall, Hill & White as bond coun-
sel; Rausch, Pierce Refsnes, Inc. as financial consultant; Goldman
Sachs and Ccmpany as Managing Underwriter; and four Co-managing
Underwriters including Drexel, Burnham and Lambert; First Boston Cor-
poration; Salomon Brothers, Inc.; and Shearson Lehman/knerican Ex-
press, Inc.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
222 JUNE 3, 1985
Councilm~nbers discussed, at length, various aspects of the proposed
financing program, including, but not limited to, the following: the
criteria for payment of the bond program's financial advisor, floating
of a single or multiple bond issues, establishment of projects to be
financed under the bond program, levels of current City indebtedness,
possible impacts of the Robinson Bill (ACA 29) which would constrain
goverr~nental units from sales to development corporations, and concern
with the public's reception to the Bond Financing Program.
Councilm~m%ber Hart was particularly concerned that the financial
advisor's fee not be dependent upon the sale of the bend issue. The
City Manager urged that the Councilm~nbers stay abreast of ACA 29 and
be prepared to testify regarding the City's position, if necessary.
Con~nunityNewsletter
The City Manager briefly reviewed the contents of his m~no, dated
June 3, 1985, entitled "City Newsletter Concept/Santa Ana Pride," and
showed the Councilm~ml]bers several examples of prior newsletters which
had been published by the City. He stressed that the newsletter would
not be a newspaper, but an informational tool via which the City could
communicate its '5~essage" to the residents.
Councilmsmbers discussed the concept of the newsletter and inquired in
particular into several aspects, including but not limited to,
personnel costs, publishing the newsletter in Spanish, the cost of bi-
lingual publication and reasons for the discontinuation of previous City
newsletters. Councilm~mber Johnson urged Councilm~bers to proceed
with a newsletter, noting that Council Referral 84-23 - Citywide News-
letter had been proposed almost exactly one year ago on June 4, 1984.
Councilmember Luxembourger expressed his concern that the community
would not accept a City newsletter.
MOTION:
Authorize staff to proceed with publication of
City Newsletter, "Santa Ana Pride," consolidating
such current City publications as the Economic
Development and water billing "stuffers" into the
publication; to consult with representatives of
the Hispanic media regarding the best method for
reaching the Hispanic community; and to report to
Council in 90 days on the success of the
publication.
