COMMENTS
90.A. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Rachel Castro, 2411 W. California, inquired about the process to amend the City's laws to
permit pushcart vending in the City's parks. Mayor Young referred Ms. Castro to Assistant
City Manager Debra Kurita and Councilmember Acosta for assistance.
.CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 220 JULY 6, Lq92
Jim Cast, 2525 N. Pacific, expressed the opinion that the City seems to be ignoring the
ballot results regarding neighborhood traffic protection plans in the establishment of City
speed limits (Item 21.D) and cited a lack of accessibility to the Environmental and
Transportation Advisory Committee meetings.
Suszan Ales, 2138 N. Candis, inquired as to the period that neighborhood ballot results
regarding traffic plans were effective. The Mayor indicated the City had no policy on the
matter. Ms. Ales expressed a need for such a policy.
Dolores DeRosa-Otting, 2130 Canyon Drive, Costa Mesa, repeated concerns she had
expressed at the last Council meeting concerning overcharges by Waste Management, Inc. to
the City for trash collection and urged the City to consider an open-bid process for the City's
trash contract. The City Attorney indicated that the City was currently negotiating a new
trash contract with Great Western and that the option of competitive bidding would be
considered should those negotiations fail.
Councilmember Norton requested the City Attorney provide him with a copy of the City's
current contract with Waste Management, Inc.
Miles Leach, 2025 W. Tenth Street, noted what he considered to be inconsistencies in the
City's procedures citing in particular that voting was permitted on a household instead of an
individual basis in the determination of neighborhood traffic protection plans; that
neighborhoods exercised power over the City Council but ward elections were not permitted;
and that Washington Street was designated as both an arterial and a collector street.
Margaret Farris reported continued personal harassment and threats to her life.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
In response to Councilmember Norton's inquiry, the City Attorney indicated the City's "no
camping" ordinance, if adopted, would be effective in September.
Councilmember Acosta suggested that Project PRIDE provide long-term programs in addition
to summer programs. In response to Acosta's inquiry, the Clerk of the Council indicated
City ward maps would be provided to the Council at its next Council meeting.
Councilmember McGuigan noted that three Santa Ana residents would be competing in the
National Jesse Owens Track and Field Competition. McGuigan also advised the listening
audience that next Monday was "Santa Ana Day" at the Orange County Fair and encouraged
everyone to attend the Fair and visit the Waste Management Commission booth for
information regarding recycling. She reported she had been favorably impressed by
Kindervision, a firm which videotapes and fingerprints children to assist with their recovery
in the event they become lost, and requested the Police Chief investigate.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 221 JULY 6, L992
Councilmember McGuigan reported that recycling activity at 3320 W. First Street was
intruding into the adjacent residential neighborhood and requested staff review the City' s
recycling ordinance with respect to siting recycling facilities.
Councilmember Richardson requested that the Recreation Needs Assessment Report and
gymnasium needs be scheduled for consideration at future meetings of the City/School
Liaison Committee.
Councilmember Richardson requested that the Council meeting be adjourned in honor of
Barbara Houghton, a long term Santa Ana resident and community activist, who had assisted
greatly with the relocation of the Harmon-McNeil House to its present location in French
Park.
Mayor Young congratulated Mayor Pro Tem Pulido on his recent marriage.
Mayor Young reported he was privileged to be present for the presentation of a gift of $1
million dollars from the Leo Freedman Foundation to the Bowers Museum; noted that the
Museum would be reopening in October, 1992 after a major reconstruction; and urged
residents to attend the opening of the Museum. He also reported the design contracts for the

restaurant in the City, was proceeding at an incredible pace to achieve its goal of opening on
October l, 1992.
