COUNCIL AGENDA ITEMS
Councilmember Acosta acknowledged receipt of Mr. David Fraundfelder's
letter which raised issues related to various addresses in the French
Park area of the City. He requested a report from staff addressing
those issues. He also noted that he has received a number of
complaints concerning Jacaranda tree droppings. The City Attorney
informed Councilmember Acosta that he was not aware of any liability
to the City as a result of these tree droppings. Councilmember
Acosta requested a report from staff on the parking situation of the
Joe Suchy family of 2608 West Montecarlo. This family has been
receiving citations for parking their vehicle on the street when
street sweeping is scheduled because of inadequate parking available
within their condominium complex.
Councilmember Dan Young expressed his concern with obtaining the
maximum possible input from the affected community with respect to
the City's plans for Henniger Park. He requested that the plan be
communicated to all involved residents in the neighborhood and in
particular to the Citizen Action Committee. They should also be
provided with a status report on code enforcement activities in their
neighborhood. He also requested that staff look into the South Coast
villa Condominiums plan to allow overnight parking on Bear Street.
The Councilmember stated he feels that there seems to be a need to
relate Code Enforcement staff to specific neighborhoods, a
geographical organization of Code Enforcement staff, so as to promote
interaction between community and Code Enforcement personnel.
Lastly, Councilmember Young requested from staff an update of bike
trail activity.
Councilmember Johnson expressed concern that staff continue to work
to remove illegal signs in the area of South Bristol.
Councilmember Hart expressed his interest in staff responding to the
Fraundfelder letter mentioned earlier in this portion of the meeting.
Councilmember McGuigan noted the volume of duplication of backup
material councilmembers are receiving as part of their agenda
packets. The duplication does not seem to be improving the
readability of the material and as such practice should be
discontinued. She also noted that Proposition 43 on the June Ballot,
if passed, would be of benefit to the City. She noted receipt of a
petition from residents living on Mar-Les Lane and
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 205 MAY 19, 1986
Mar-Les Drive and staff indicated they are already looking into the
matter. She referenced a recent communication from the Library Board
dealing with proposed fee changes. She does not want any fee change
to go into effect until the Council has had a chance to review such
changes with the new Library Master Plan. Lastly, Councilmember
McGuigan raised the issue of parking problems at a shopping center
located at 3701 McFadden. She asked staff to look into this matter.
Councilmember Luxembourger commented on the excellent quality of the
color coded maps contained in the agenda packet. He expressed
concern about the City's weed abatement posting procedures and the
possibility of the City fencing off boarded-up property. Lastly, he
requested that the Council be copied by staff when the respond to the
letter from RCTD dealing with the Odd Fellows lot.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. James G. Harker, representing Santa Ana City Employees
Association addressed the Council on the issues of the impact of
changes in the Fair Labor Standards Act, modifications of
