HomeMy WebLinkAbout05-07-1990 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA MAY 7, 1990 The meeting was called to order at 4:21 p.m. in Room 423, City Hall, 20 Civic Center Plaza, by Mayor Pro Tem John Acosta. Councilmembers present were Ron MRy, Patricia A. McGuigan, Rick Norton, and Miguel A. Pulido. Also present were City Manager David N. Ream, City Attorney Edward J. Cooper and Clerk of the Council Janice C. Guy. Councilmember Daniel E. Griset and Mayor Dan Young joined the meeting at 5:18 p.m. and 7:33 p.m., respectively. COUNCIL STUDY SESSION ARMING OF PARK RANGERS (ITEM 85.A.) The City Manager reported that on March 26, 1990, the Recreation and Parks Board had unanimously recommended that the City's park rangers be armed and supervision of the rangers be provided jointly by the Recreation and Community Services Agency and the Police Department. The Manager indicated that he was in concurrence with that recommendation, and that the program would be implemented by December 31, 1990. Councilmembers discussed various aspects of this proposed change. Councilmember Norton inquired as to why the program could not be placed in operation more quickly, since the five park rangers impacted by this policy change had all carried firearms in previous positions and surplus firearms were currently available in the Police Department. The City Manager responded that, in his opinion, the change must be implemented in an incremental manner, in order to ensure a smooth transition of supervision and recertification in firearms handling. GRAFFITI REMOVAL ASSESSMENTS Lorraine Lazarine, Council Services Manager, provided an update to Council regarding legislation currently under study at the State level which would allow the establishment of graffiti removal assessment districts. Councilmember McGuigan reported the Air Quality Management District was promoting a ban on aerosal spray cans which potentially could reduce graffiti painting and perhaps eliminate the need for such districts. Councilmembers discussed the City's procedures for removing graffiti from private property. Councilmember Norton inquired as to the feasibility of posting signs at the point of sale indicating aerosal spray cans are not to be sold to persons under age 18. WATER CONSERVATION Mayor Pro Tem Acosta suggested the City review its landscaping requirements for the purpose of promoting water conservation.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 139 MAY 7, 1990 Mayor Pro Tem Acosta requested an update from the Planning Department regarding the Swap Meet at 201E. Fourth Street. He reported that the promoter of the Cinco de Mayo event at Centennial Park had failed to keep the grounds clean and encouraged staff to bill the promoter for City staff time expended on clean-up. He noted that the pavement was collapsing approximately two houses south of 2111 N. Flower. Acosta also reported that he had met with the Orange County Marshall regarding possible installation of a pedestrian crossing signal at the crosswalk just north of the Court House. He requested this issue and changing the stop signs at Ninth and Bush from two-way to four-way be discussed at the Council's next study session. In response to Acosta's inquiry regarding clean-up responsibility at accident scenes, the Police Chief reported the responsiblity was assigned to the tow truck companies who serviced the accidents. Councilmember May encouraged the formation of an Orange County Task Force to develop anti-gang programs. Councilmember Griset indicated he had pledged $2,500.00 to a campaign in opposition to Measure "A," and requested the Councilmembers help defeat this pending measure. Councilmember McGuigan commended City staff, downtown businessmen, Fiesta Marketplace, and the press for their participation and support with regard to the alcohol-free celebration of Cinco de Mayo at the Fiesta Marketplace facility.

Acosta clarified that the Council had authorized the purchase of a narcotics detection dog, not the addition of a new staff position. The City Manager responded that in Council meetings subsequent to the authorization of the purchase, the Council had decided not to include the item in the budget and thus no funds were allocated for this purpose.
