COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
Cindy Nelson, Executive Director, Community Development Agency, explained
fundi, ng alternatives for public facilities had been severely constricted
by the passage of Proposition 13. She pointed out that Community
Facilities Districts, which all ow outlay for both capital projects and
services, were used extensively by new communities to provide public
facilities, and indicated staff was recommending use of this financing
tool by Santa Aha. She then introduced Don Owens whose firm conducts
feasibility studies regarding establishment of Community Facilities
Districts.
Deputy Fire Chief James Montgomery briefed the Council on the proposed
fire facilities fee of $.32-per-square-foot applicable to all new
developments in the City three stories and higher, noting that this fee
would not apply in areas within a Community Facilities District. He
identified current fire facilities requiring enlargement or updating to
accommodate state-of-the-art fire fighting equipment which would be
improved with the funds raised by the fee.
Staff responded to Councilmembers' questions regarding "fair share"
systems, applicability to arena and museum district development, exclusion
of parking garages, and the issuance of bonds to provide "up front" funds.

action concerning the award of the Cable TV consultant services contract,
and to allow the Cable Board to review the qualifications of the second
bidder.
Wayne Rash, a long time resident of Santa Ana, delivered the following
eulogy concerning William Baron, Assistant Clerk of the Council, who
passed away suddenly on July 30, 1990:
I didn't feel the evening should pass without an acknowledgement,
especially to the viewing public, of the loss of a very special
member of the City family. All of you know to whom I am
referring, and perhaps many in the audience do, from the news
accounts that appeared last week. I am referring to our
Assistant Clerk of the Council, Bill Baron. His loss, as all of
us know, was extremely unexpected and quite a shock. The man was
still of a relatively young age.
I think the qualities that most everyone will think about with
respect to Bill, and some of which I am sure were brought out
during the service that was held last week for him, were: a very
warm and engaging person, a wonderfully self-depreciating wit
about him, his references to being one of the "bureaurats," as he
would occasionally say. These were the kinds of things that put
him beyond just being another municipal government functionary
and, indeed, made him someone that everyone who got to know him
enjoyed and cherished.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 244 AUGUST 6, 1990
I would suggest that we are still somewhat in a state of shock
over his departure. We can no longer look over to the Clerk's
table and expect to see him pretty much at every Council meeting.
But we will always be warmed and brightened by the memory of his
special qualities, of his enjoyment of life, and his real sense
of service, both in the public sector, when he was out here
helping the City Clerk record the momentous, and sometimes not so
momentous, events of this august body, and in his service behind
the scenes during the approximately five and a half year period
that he occupied the post. I would suggest that the Council
could rightfully adjourn tonight's meeting, when that time comes,
in his memory.
