CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
League Transportation Super Committee Update
Mayor Young reported to Councilmembers that he had agreed to serve as the
Chair of the Orange County League Super Committee on Transportation. He
indicated the purpose of the committee was to identify transportation
projects in priority order in each of Orange County's cities, for the
purpose of arriving at a consensus on a county-wide transportation funding
policy and strategy plan. The Mayor noted the Committee would be holding an
all-day workshop on April 25, and that the Committee had set September as
its goal for a finished product. He indicated he would provide updates to
the Council as the Committee's work progressed.
Proposed 1987-88 CDBG Program
Cindy Nelson, Acting Executive Director of the Community Development Agency,
explained that although the City would receive $3.894 million in Community
Development Block Grant funding for fiscal year 1987-88, requests in excess
of $15 million had been lodged with staff for use of these funds. She
indicated those requests had been reviewed by a Citizen's Advisory
Committee, that a public hearing would be held on the proposed CDBG Program
on April 20, 1987, and that adoption of the CDBG Program was projected to
occur on May 4. Nelson then reviewed staff's recommendations with respect
to specific project funding, and responded to Councilmembers' questions.
Legislative Assistants
Deputy City Manager Perkins reviewed the results of a survey of local
government Council support alternatives. Due to Councilmember Acosta's
interest in this matter and absence from the meeting, the Council agreed to
continue discussion of this matter to a subsequent study session.

Crime Prevention Program - Illegal Discharge of Firearms
Deputy Police Chief Hansen presented a proposed Crime Prevention Program
with respect to the illegal discharge of firearms in the City. He indicated
the proposed program would link education and enforcement efforts, with
media information distributed just prior to the major holidays at which
illegal shootings increased, and would entail the assignment of additional
personnel during these periods.

19.C.) until the Evening Session, in order to better inform the public
regarding the program.
