Judy Edge expressed her opposition to having "light rail" in Santa Ana whether it is on Bristol or Main Street. 90.6. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Christy • Requested staff to come up with a five-year plan for arterials, traffic mitigation, and widening streets in conjunction with the City's efforts to attract and keep businesses. Mayor Pro Tern McGuigan • Noted that the names of the new Councilmembers have not been included on some of Channel 3's banners and mastheads. Councilmember Alvarez • Noted that the City should look at its policies relative to award of contracts and that both Santa Ana businesses and residents should be supported, and should benefit from monetary commitments made by the City. • Stated that she supported the agreement for the California -Mexico Trade Center but she expressed concern that there were no 1 performance standards or check -points established. She further asked staff to look at the opportunity for creating jobs for Santa Ana CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 72 FEBRUARY 20, 2001 residents and for supporting Santa Ana businesses. Mayor Pulido • Expressed his support for the California -Mexico Trade Center noting the city would benefit from the incorporation of new businesses, increased job opportunities, increased revenue from the business license tax and increased sales revenues. • Noted that the issue on the pending CUP was not the granting of a liquor license but the ability to extend this license to the restaurant's exterior and whether this action would encourage alcoholism. He pointed out that the real problem was the off -site sale of beer and wine. He asked the Latino Health Access organization to join with the City in keeping down the issuance of such licenses.
