OFF-AGENDA ITEM
MINNIE STREET NO PARKING REGULATION
Lourdes Sanchez, 1126 S. Minnie Street #1, speaking on behalf of a group of Minnie Street
residents in attendance, related the benefits that the No Parking regulation on the westside of
Minnie Street had brought to her neighborhood and asked the Council to retain the No
Parking regulation.
City Manager Ream explained that:
the Minnie Street No Parking regulation was requested by Minnie Street
property owners and tenants to provide a safer and cleaner environment for the
neighborhood;
Hermandad Mexicana Nacional argued on behalf of other tenants that the
regulation would leave insufficient parking in the area;
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 227 JUNE 7, 1993
the No Parking regulation was implemented but the restriction was to be
removed if Hermandad Mexicana Nacional found the restriction created a
parking shortage in the area;
based on Hermandad Mexicana Nacional's recent finding of insufficient parking,
the No Parking regulation was set to expire on June 9, 1993.
After extensive Council discussion on the matter, Councilmember Moreno made the
following motion:
Motion: 1. Approve.
Retention of No Parking regulation on Minnie Street's westside pending the
conduct of a neighborhood poll on a new parking plan
2. Authorize.
Staff to conduct a poll in the Minnie Street area to determine whether the No
Parking regulation should be implemented on one side, both sides, or no side of
Minnie Street.

COMMENTS
90.B.
CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Norton invited interested individuals to apply for the Housing Advisory
Commission seat vacated by Donna Marcos.
In response to Councilmember Norton's query, City Manager Ream indicated that Governor
Wilson's decision to extend the temporary half-cent sales tax to December 1993 would not
result in more revenue to the City. Councilmember Moreno explained the mechanics of sales
tax distribution by the State.
Councilmember Lutz thanked the Wilshire Square Neighborhood Association for organizing
Wilshire Square's 5th Home Tour and commended the residents of Wilshire Square, French
Park, and Floral Park for showcasing the vibrance of Santa Ana's neighborhoods.
Councilmember Richardson expressed delight over the large turn-out for the Wilshire Square
5th Home Tour despite the rains; thanked the Police Department for the prompt response to
his request to remove the pay phones located outside Kong's Market; and asked Council to
consider naming the City-owned tennis courts located across Santa Ana High School in honor
of Neal Machander, who will be retiring after 39 years as Santa Ana High School's tennis
coach.
In response to Councilmember Richardson's query, City Manager Ream indicated that, based
on the May 18, 1993 City Council-Redevelopment Commission Joint Meeting, staff had
decided to shelve the Community (Educational) Facilities Improvement Plan at this time but
would revive the Plan if so directed by the Redevelopment Agency.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 230 JUNE 7, 1993
Councilmember Pulido commended Wilshire Square resident Mark La Font for the
exceptional beautification work on the pond on La Font's property.
Councilmember Mills asked City Manager Ream to devise a way of giving advance notice to
residents regarding collection of dog license fees, e.g., through the water billing system.
Mills also requested Ream work with the Environmental and Transportation Advisory
Committee to develop a formal City policy on tree removal.
Councilmember Moreno recommended that the area to be vacated by the old Corporate Yard
(after the new Corporate Yard opens) be used for Delhi Park's expansion, and asked the
Council to support his proposal to fund a new Delhi community center in the FY 94-95
budget.
Mayor Young reported on his recent Sacramento trip:
The mayors of the 10 largest California cities met with Senator Roberti, Speaker
Brown, and Governor Wilson to discuss the unique problems facing big cities
regarding the State budget and other legislative issues;
Following those meetings, a number of State budget revisions favorable to local
governments ensued, e.g., the Governor's decision to reduce the amount to be
transferred from redevelopment agencies to the State from more than $300
million to $68 million; and
The 10 mayors committed to organize themselves into a formal group that
would meet on a quarterly basis to focus public attention on big cities' special
problems on local government legislation, city government reorganization,
redevelopment law, and other macro issues.
Mayor Young noted that Community Development Agency Executive Director Cindy Nelson
had been elected President of the California Redevelopment Association and requested
Nelson to keep the Council abreast of pending legislation relative to redevelopment law
reforms.
Young then expressed his strong desire to work with the big cities' mayors group and asked
for the Council's support in formulating an agenda that would best represent the City's
interests.
