(REMOVED AND HEARD SEPARATELY)
3.15 RESOLUTION NO. 9430
TAPE 770
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Orange approving a Traffic Signal and
Easement Agreement between the City of Orange and Syufy Enterprises, a California
Limited Partnership.
Councilman Slater stated, "The reason I pulled this item is that I believe there are some
issues regarding this proposed signal at the entrance to the SyufY project that we need to
approve today to move this forward. I guess sometimes you make a decision that you
regret but I've had some heartburn about this signal ever since it was first proposed, and
finally I guess I decided that it was the appropriate thing, but the more I thought about it I
think I should have gone with my initial gut reaction in opposing this signal, and here's
the reasons why.
PAGE 6
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
March 27, 2001
3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
Especially when driving by it, these two signals that are proposed would be the closest
I've ever seen any signals back to back. Staff seems to be presenting the picture that the
main reason for the signal is to help out the King's Fish House. And it just doesn't sit
right with me to approve a signal to help one particular restaurant, which by the way
every time I'm in it seems to be doing quite nicely. It seems like it's a very growing
concern there. So to provide a signal just for this restaurant, when I think probably
basically it was the design of the center in the first place and the traffic circulation that
leads to this whole issue to begin with. And then there are potential safety concerns also
that I think Traffic and Engineering have addressed. However, there is I believe a
potential of traffic backing up into the intersection of Main and Katella. And also, I
guess, I can't buy the argument that people coming from westbound on Katella or the
Anaheim area would not stop at this restaurant just because they weren't able to make a
left turn directly into it. They can certainly make a left turn into the signal prior to that,
which gets you into the main parking lot. And I think as busy as the movie centers are,
it is probably the same distance to walk to King's Fish House as it would be to buy a
ticket to go to a movie. Anyway, I have spoken to the City Attorney's Office, and he
probably would like to say something about it but he's suggesting that if we change our
direction on this, and I may be alone on this, but if we do change direction on this he may
recommend a continuance so that we can analyze how this would impact the City from
the applicant's perspective. So, anyway, I can't further support this project."
Councilmember Coontz stated, " I think this has been a problem, an access problem for
quite a while. We do have problems with the City of Anaheim whenever Anaheim has
any activities going on there's been a difficulty to our own commercial establishments on
Katella, as far as access is concerned. But even though, as I understand it, and maybe we
have to have some more information from Linda Boone, our Economic Development
Director. Yes the Fish House did put money into this but then it does benefit all of the
east end of the Syufy project, which is where the restaurants are. And having gone into
that area for a long period of time, I know it's been a problem and we've discussed this
before. It's come all the way to the Resolution. I think it's extremely helpful. There is a
curb, there's a lack of knowledge about what's there in Orange in that area after you
come from Anaheim and I think it's a help. And of course, anything that we can do for
the economic benefit of that area would be a positive. Perhaps it was overlooked at the
time of the design, but this is why there was a request to put this through. That's all I
have to say about that."
Councilman Alvarez stated, "Questions for staff - I was looking at the layout that we
have as part of our staff report. Two questions - I'm curious as to the distances between
the intersection at Main and Katella and the proposed signal. That's question one.
Question two would be, how does adding this signal affect the Super Street status, if it
does, of Katella Avenue. If! understand right, the whole theory behind that Super Street
was to not to continue to add signals but to be able to synchronize the signals and
minimize the need for them in order to move traffic east and west."

3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
The City Manager stated "in regard to specific issues on traffic, we can have our Public
Works Director, Mr. Thomas, address that and he may be the appropriate one to address
that particular issue and then overall, Linda Boone, our Economic Development Director
is also here to address some of these. And they were all thoroughly looked at, in fact
proposed by traffic engineering studies by the proponent by this before we moved
forward on this shared cost, and then further reviewed by our own traffic staff pretty
thoroughly. Mr. Thomas and then Linda Boone."
The Director of Public Works stated, "I don't have the precise distance of the signals,
approximately 450 feet I believe from Main to the proposed signal location. As far as the
Super Street, or as they're now called, Smart Streets are concerned, signal progression is
a significant element as are the widenings at various intersections to provide additional
turn lanes and one of the other features of Smart Streets are raised medians to control
access to adjacent properties and limit access as much as possible to signalized
intersections. At the present time, Katella does have funding for Smart Street
improvements, but not in Orange. In our review at that particular project when it was
proposed, and the comments that we made at the time, were that we didn't feel that those
improvements were really necessary on the Orange segment and we were very concerned
about the impact the proposed Smart Street improvements would have on our adjacent
retail properties, because we rely very heavily on driveway access, whether that's good or
bad, because a lot of driveways we use two-way left turn lanes rather than raised medians
to provide access and it has worked successfully for us and the volume on Katella,
although it's a six lane facility, the maximum is about 32,000 cars a day which is not
what you might expect on a facility of this width nor is it comparable to the volumes
further west. So we are not included and we are not likely to be in the foreseeable future
since all of the funds in Measure M for the Smart Street program are committed if not
over subscribed for the balance of Katella, Moulton Parkways, and I believe Harbor is the
other street that was funded out of some 27 or 29 streets in this category."
"As far as the operational aspects of this are concerned, this only controls traffic in one
direction, that's westbound as it's a free movement - eastbound. It is a left turn in and
right turn out only. There are no ped crossings, so that means the amount of green time
devoted to the left turn movement is going to be fairly short, even if the pocket is fully
loaded. You're probably looking at no more than about 15 to 20 seconds, and typically,
for a crossing of a street like Katella which is controlled by the pedestrian timing, that
time would be on the order of 35 seconds or so to successfully cross that roadway
because of its width. It's never good to have closely spaced traffic signals from an
operational standpoint, or irregularly spaced traffic signals. It does inhibit the flow of
traffic, but unfortunately, in an urbanized setting, those ideals conditions are seldom
achieved, and where the type of land use that predominates the area is strict commercial,
or commercial that depends very heavily on access to the adjacent roadway, it's even
more difficult to achieve that ideal. Our feeling is that the signal is designed in the best
manner possible for the conditions out there to minimize the operational problems. We
don't feel that a back up situation is going to occur to the extent that's it's going to create
PAGE 8
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
March 27, 2001
3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
problems at Main, at least not under current conditions. And it does provide an enhanced
situation for access to the site. Relying on U-turns has its problems even though there is
a left turn arrow at the intersection. Heavy U-turn movement at the intersection of two
multi-lane streets like this is not a real good circumstance either and that's the other
option - there is an access I think off Main further north. You'd have to be fairly familiar
with the area to be able to recognize that, however. So weighing all those considerations
from an operational standpoint, we feel that what's presented to you is the best we can
achieve under the circumstances for the goals that are intended. The agreement that is
before you this evening really ties up some loose ends from the action that was taken in
January. It commits the owner of the property to pay for the annual operation and
maintenance of the signal. Grants an easement to the City for access to the facilities that
are on their property for maintenance purposes. It validates or verifies their commitment
to abide by the public contract code, which they are doing. And basically is the
document that we need in order to assure that the developer is assuming their fair share of
the burden of this particular installation in terms of its operation and maintenance costs.
If there are any questions, I'd be happy to respond."
Councilman Alvarez stated, "Mr. Thomas you kind of raised a few more questions for
me. Correct me if I'm wrong, when this development was developed by City laws, it had
to come up with a traffic plan for the traffic flow as far as traffic flowing in and off the
property. I know that had to be done and I'm really questioning what goals we're
meeting by adding another signal if the developer paid to have that, and now what we're
doing is adding another signal because he essentially took a design that's not functioning
for them now when it comes to traffic. That's kind of the conclusion I'm drawing now."
Mr. Thomas stated, "I think the issue that's there is the site plan that was approved did
not have the on-site circulation that would allow full access to the west end of the site to
that signalized main entrance and this particular installation addresses that issue for those
activities in about as effective a manner as it can be done under current circumstances."
Councilman Alvarez stated, "my final question, has the City spent any money so far on
this project. What commitments, as far as the City side of it, I understand SyufY is
looking to pay for everything, but I'm curious what we have paid so far."
The Economic Development Director stated, "it's been well over a year ago that staff
started getting inquiries from the businesses and the landowner at the Stadium Promenade
and they came to us because they said that they got repeated complaints from customers
who would come into the restaurants and say, I can't believe I took my life in my hands
trying to get here. Now that's an exaggeration but these are the kinds of stories we got.
And the constant complaints from the customers is what motivated the restaurants to
come to staff and say, do something, because people are going to go someplace where it's
more convenient. And staff has spent a great deal of time, not just Economic
Development, I think almost every department staff in the City has worked on this deal
and we researched it and analyzed it so many months that the property owner will tell you
PAGE 9
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
March 27, 2001
3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
that they were very irritated with us. But you're right, there were some pros and there are
some cons and the only way you work something like this is to analyze it and research it
and collect the facts. We did have a study, a traffic study, that we paid for, by Katz 0
Kitsu Company and the conclusion, and that was reviewed by our City Engineer, and the
conclusion of that was that this left turn lane would not significantly impact the Katella
traffic. And after staff got that report, I think we had a little more comfort. But in the
end, what it came down to for us was the benefits of the light are that people can make a
left turn lane in to the center instead of going down to Main Street and making a U-turn.
And I need to correct Harry because if you make a left at Main and then try to come into
the property from the north, it's illegal. It's a double yellow line there and you can't
cross it. Sometimes people did that, thinking that looked like a good way to get in. And
we really investigated trying to take away that double line, because we thought, well, if
they can get in by a U-turn and by turning left and coming in from the north, that should
be sufficient. But all the traffic people told us that that was a more dangerous situation
because of the trucks coming out of the oil business there. That just couldn't be done.
But this particular light worked. And we felt like that the negatives - and that is the
people going west on Katella would be stopped whenever there is somebody that wanted
to turn left into the shopping center were outweighed by the benefits. And I think, we've
said a lot about convenience, but the real issue here is safety, and people making
maneuvers that they're not comfortable with or might cause danger. After all the analysis
and the traffic study, we went to the Traffic Commission on December 13th and they
approved the installation of the light, and they didn't do it quickly or without much
thought. It was debated at length and I think they did a very thorough job. Again,
looking at the pros and the cons which we all admit that there are. Then on January 23'd,
we presented the light to the Agency Board. At that time we approved $85,000 from the
Agency and SyufY, who was the landowner, committed $45,000. Part of the reason we
wanted to put money for the signal was because when we had done the improvements to
Katella, the sidewalks, the palm trees and all the stuff that makes it look so beautiful, the
company had not used all the money that they had been allocated. So we thought that
was fair to take the money they had saved to use to install the light. After it was passed
on January 23'd, then we raid to prepare the final plans. Bids were advertised and it was
awarded on February 15t. The award of the contract was to Steiny and Company and
they are set to pull permits. At that January 23'd meeting, I'd like to add, that Gordon
Biersch, Acapulco, Chili's, Kings Fish House, all testified. It's just not the two
restaurants that think it's a good idea. One of the reasons we made a significant
investment in improving the vision and the beauty of that street was to try to draw people
coming from Anaheim. The Pond draws a lot of people and it is about convenience. And
we want to make it more convenient for them not to stop at the brewery that's on the
other side of the bridge. I think that we will all admit that if we had to do it again, we
would have like to have seen a different plan. The landowner is very candid about
PAGE 10

3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
saying, they made a mistake, they made a big mistake. But what we have to think about
is, do we just say, you made a mistake so we're going to abandon you and not help you
and it's just over and done with and write the center off? We thought that given the
tremendous investment in that center, $85 million, mistakes were made, absolutely, but
this is worth fixing it. In addition, I want to say that as a part of our agreeing to this, the
City, the landowner has agreed to put over a million dollars into the center to correct their
mistakes. They are going to completely refigure the parking lot. They're going to, and
I've never known this to happen, but the developer is actually going to eliminate square
footage so that it flows better. And this is just one small part of, I shouldn't say small, it
was one large part of trying to fix the mistakes that admittedly were made at that center."
The City Manager stated, "I don't want the audience nor the Council to go away with the
impression that the City has invested significant amount of money in this project. Going
back if you recall originally, we did appropriate some money from some of our flood
control monies that had accumulated and also a small amount of redevelopment monies.
But the vast majority, high ninety percent figures, were invested by the company itself,
by SyufY Enterprises. What money we were really putting forth was the beautification of
Katella Avenue when we re-zoned it so that it could have entertainment uses. That is the
primary area where our money was invested, not in the project itself. So this is just
another small amount we have invested in this project, but I'm not sure if we're even
close to hitting the $1.5 million for an $85 million project."
The Economic Development Director stated, "there is no redevelopment money in this
development at all."
Bob Bennyhoff, 10242 Morada Drive, Orange Park Acres, spoke about the dangerous
turn into this center and that the signal will be a benefit.
Councilmember Coontz stated, "I consider this to be a remedy. I think something was
said about the fact that this was their proposal, for the development. But it did go
through all the processes of the City of Orange and so you can't blame the developer,
because you know how many applications that we have that are exercised all the way
through the system - Design review Board, Economic Development, in this case Traffic,
before it ever comes to us, Planning Commission; and I think this was something very
new to us and it is very difficult to get in and out of there. Of course, if you come out on
the east end, you've got to go east on Katella. You can not make a left hand turn and go
north, which is what I like to do. So access in any direction is difficult, access and exit.
So I think we've learned a lot from this. This was very new to the City of Orange. This
is an area that we were not proud of a number of years ago. It has changed Katella
entirely with the Katella Corridor. And we also had some competition with Anaheim,
who denies access very often in their activities that are going on at the Pond to the east
end of Orange. And people are adamant that they come over here and it is not always
easy for them do so. So the more that we do in that respect, the better it is for economic
development and our City."

Councilman Slater stated, "Question - I've heard two different numbers in how much
we're being asked to spend on this project. It's not the developer paying for all this. Is it
$60,000 or $85,000?"
The Director of Economic Development stated, "It is kind of confusing. This is
redevelopment money that goes into street improvements. It's tax exempt funds. What
we were doing is taking $31,812.95 that was left over, that were new funds, and then
$53,182.05 that was left over that they had saved by doing the construction. The two
figures together gives you the $85,000."
Councilman Slater stated, "I'll just conclude, I still feel as I do I think that's a great
restaurant too. I go there quite often and I wish them all the success in the world. From
what I can tell they're not struggling. I guess I would want to really see what kind of an
impact or how they are doing before I could really determine if this was necessary or not.
But irregardless of that, once a signal goes in it doesn't come out and I know the rest of
my life, I'll be looking at it and Ijust can't in good conscience support it."
Councilmember Coontz stated, "The question is, we keep mentioning that King's Fish
House, but the only reason, they're very entrepreneurial and they have a number of
restaurants, but as I understood it, they're just the front runner in seeing to it that
something got done. The changes would benefit that whole development there, not just
King's Fish House. That keeps being mentioned, but has absolutely nothing to do with it
other than the fact that they were the lead in determining that there was a problem. Is that
correct? That's what I wanted to be sure of."
Mayor Murphy stated "Just a couple of observations, this would have been a really
healthy conversation to have back in January when before we made the commitments and
spent the front end of the money to do the engineering and put out the bids and award the
contract. I frankly still feel the same way I did in January when I voted for it, and that is
that it's a combination of private enterprise plus the City's responsibility in terms of
projects and safety of access as well as making an environment such that businesses can
thrive so that they can generate sales tax dollars which then comes back to the City in
terms of how we fund our services. And it seems to me, given the lessons learned, that
this investment, and it is a tandem investment between SyufY the owner, on behalf of the
tenants there, all the tenants, along with some funds that were saved from the previous
project, and an additional twenty some odd thousand dollars. is a reasonable thing to do
as an addition to try to improve a situation right now that has safety issues number one,
but also implications from a business standpoint as well. I would support moving
forward on this and would encourage the Council that when we do want to talk about
these things that we make sure that we do it up front on these things and not let half the
PAGE 12

money get spent before we come back to it. Now certainly anyone has a right to have a
change of opinion, and I respect that and your thoughts, but I would just encourage that
we do some of this homework up front and then allow, once we do give the direction,
allow the process to follow through. I would support the suggested Resolution and
welcome comments from some of my colleagues."
Councilman Alvarez stated, "I think we're really having a problem with this and I don't
think I supported this quite frankly. I don't see our voting record on here. The
breakdown of the money really is not quite as simple as it's shown here. If you look on
the staffreport dated January 23'd, there is the $53,000 that's reappropriated funds from
the original owner participation agreement, which I assume that was with SyufY and then
the Agency throws in new funds of an additional $31,812 and then the folks the SyufY are
going to drop in another $42,000 for a grand total of $127,000 for one signal. I didn't
realize signals cost that much, but it just seems like a huge investment. It reminds me
almost when we were looking at those blinking crosswalk lights. It's a huge investment
and I really don't see the benefit for the public."
Councilmember Coontz stated, "Isn't SyufY putting III a million dollars or more.
Actually we're punishing economic development."
The City Manager stated, "I just want to urge the Council here to realize the allocation of
the money and although I know you're trying to be conscientious and prudent with the
dollars, again reflect on the amount of money that we have not invested in this shopping
center. Given our environment and the close balance that we have with our operations
going forward, we don't want to do anything that will jeopardize the further operations of
that center. It's difficult to calculate the actual return on investment, ahead of the fact,
but when you look at the dollars invested, it is truly miniscule compared to the
investment in the center."
Councilmember Coontz stated, "Does that include the future investment that you
mentioned that they're willing to put into it? A future investment of how much?"
The Economic Development Director stated, "well over a million dollars."
The City Manager stated, "We actually have a hotel site going in there."
The Economic Development Director stated, "Yes the hotel is another issue. But I would
like to agree with Councilman Alvarez that it is a very expensive light, but that is what
we wanted to do to make it have the absolute least impact on Katella that we could. It's a
light only triggered if someone goes in there and it's coordinated with the other light and
all the bells and whistles. This light does absolutely everything in order to impact the
traffic the least amount possible."

3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
Councilman Alvarez stated, "I wonder if we should just continue this and give us a
chance to look into it a little deeper. Is there an urgency in having the signal?"
The City Manager stated, "Linda can you advise us as to what stage we are on this thing.
This was only a clean up item as far as legality of approving a Resolution on this item.
We've gone through with Engineering and what part of construction are we at? What
kinds of commitments have we made?"
The Economic Development Director stated, "We've awarded the contract and they have
fulfilled everything in order to pull the building permits. So I guess we need to talk to
Public Works - can we keep them from pulling building permits and continuing?
Because then what would happen is they would build a light and we just wouldn't get
reimbursed for the maintenance."
The Director of Public Works stated, " The permits that are involved would be an
encroachment permit to construct in the public right of way and an electrical permit for
the project itself. Those are basically administerial actions. If they meet all the
requirements for the issuance of those permits, we don't really have a basis to deny those.
And I think they have fulfilled all their contractual requirements. As I indicated earlier,
the primary benefit of this agreement is to the City as things stand now because of the
prior actions that were taken and you heard the description of those. From a purely
engineering standpoint, our primary concern is to make sure the developer is obligated to
pay for the operation and maintenance costs and provide the easements so that we can
legitimately get access to the property to maintain the facilities that are within their
driveway area. There are some other elements in this agreement that are also beneficial.
The formal approval of the plans and specs provide some design immunity protection in
the event of future claims down the road, which can happen with any public facility and
we routinely plans and specs at the Council level for that reason. So these are the factors
that need to be weighed. I might point out that probably about half the cost of the
installation is the construction of the left turn pocket, because that requires modification
to the existing median, paving, new curb and gutter and a number of construction items.
So there is more work involved here than what might ordinarily be the case with a
standard signal installation. We can provide more detailed information on that if that
would be helpful. I don't know if it would change anything, but at this point in time,
from a staff standpoint, and staff wouldn't recommend this if we didn't think it was in the
best interest of the City. I think this agreement in particular is an important one from a
City perspective to have approved and move forward.
The City Attorney stated, "I guess I have a little bit different perspective. Obviously one
of the requirements of the agreement that was entered into I think it was between the
Agency and SyufY was that they would enter into this other agreement providing us the
easement and access. That hasn't been done yet. And I think because it hasn't been
done, that's a significant, and maybe not through any fault of their own, but I think that's
a significant provision in the agreement between the Agency and Syufy. So might
PAGE 14

3. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
thought on this was that if we don't' have the votes to approve this, give us two weeks,
come back to the City Council and say, okay, here's what the ramification are. It may
well be that based upon what little I know of this, we've already approved the project,
the contract has been awarded, so there's really no way, unless the Council votes 3-1 the
opposite way, to stop the project from going forward. And it could be the project goes
forward and the only thing that doesn't happen is that we don't have our easements. But
I would like the opportunity to take that look and give the Council some advise on that if
there's not three votes to approve that tonight."
Mayor Murphy stated, "Can you clarifY the easement. It's a question from Councilman
Alvarez. Since he's a little under the weather, I'll speak on his behalf for a moment.
He's asking about the easements that are being referred to, where they are physically
located."
The Director of Public Works stated, "The easement is located within the driveway area
and the facilities that are being installed there are the vehicle protectors that are
embedded in the pavement or will be embedded in the pavement of the driveway and I
believe there are also some ofthe signal poles. It looks to be perhaps one signal pole that
is on the private property and there are some pull boxes and conduit connecting the
detectors and the signal pole installation to the balance of the traffic signal. Those are the
facilities that are on private property. The easement is necessary to provide access so that
we can maintain those facilities in the even they need to be replaced, repaired or whatever
the situation may arise."
Mayor Murphy stated, "Well I still honestly feel that based on all of what we know that
we really need to move forward on this thing and I'm going to throw a motion on the
table that we adopt Resolution No. 9430."
Councilmember Coontz stated, "I will second it on the basis that there has been a lot of
work put into this. There's been a lot of opportunity for the Council to discuss the
aspects of this with the different City staff, if they felt they had a problem, and I think the
time is of the essence right now. We've made commitments as a Council and we need to
move forward."

and completion of major capital improvement projects, and summarizes the results of the City's
financial operations.
The City Manager briefly reviewed the Second Quarter Report, reporting that in addition to some
adjustments to certain accounts, the primary issues are the recommendation of two new full-time
positions - a Police Communications Manager and a Traffic Signal Technician, and a $1.6
million adjustment to the Workers Compensation fund. He further reported that when a position
becomes vacated, it is carefully scrutinized and a cost benefit analysis is done to determine if the
position needs to be filled.
Councilman Slater stated there are good and necessary recommendations in this report and asked
what the unappropriated general fund reserves would be for the year. The City Manager stated
they are currently balancing those figures as the City goes forward into next year's budget and
suggested discussing this issue at the next Budget Study Session on April 9th.
Councilman Alvarez stated it was nice to see a greater emphasis on customer relations in the
departments' work plans.
Councilmember Coontz stated there needs to be more information provided to new employees
regarding the organizational aspects of the City. The City Manager assured her that this would
be included in the orientation for new employees
Mayor Murphy pointed out the money for the new position of Traffic Signal Technician is
actually a transfer of funds from an external source to an internal source, as the work this
position will perform was originally done with outside consultants and will now be performed in-
house and on a more efficient basis.

14. PUBLIC HEARINGS
14.1 2001-02 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AND
HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS ACT PROGRAM (C2500.G.1.3)
Time set for public hearing to consider the funding recommendations of the CDBG Program
Committee and to approve the City of Orange 2001-02 CDBG and HOME Programs. The City
is proposing to allocate a total of $1,619,750 in CDBG funds for a variety of community
development activities. This total includes the FY 2001-02 CDBG entitlement of $1,465,000
and $154,750 of unexpended CDBG funds from prior years. In addition, the City is proposing to
allocate a total of $527,000 in HOME funds for property acquisition, housing development and
rehabilitation.
The Housing Manager explained the City receives an annual grant from HUD for activities that
benefit low and moderate income residents. The proposed recommendations are from the CDBG
Committee members who have worked for several months reviewing proposals and requests.
The Housing Manger thanked the Committee members - Jan Mickelson, Bea Vega, Mary Ellen
Manning, Richard Ledesma and Victoria James for their efforts. The Committee gave high
priority to City projects and also to projects of non-profit agencies based upon the projects'
benefit to low and moderate income residents, the agency's demonstrated capacity to carry out
the proposed activity and the reasonableness of the request.

March 27,2001
14. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
She explained there are three categories of funding - Administration (which can utilize no more
than 20% of the total funds), Public Facilities and Improvements (65%) and Public Services
(15%).
The proposed 2001-02 CDBG budget of $1,619,750 consists of the current $1,465,000
entitlement and $154,750 in CDBG funds available from cost savings from prior years. The total
amount of funding exceeds the amount requested by approximately $250,000.
In response to questions regarding the Christmas In April Agency, the Housing Manager
explained this Agency received additional funding because their per unit cost is less than $2,000
and the CDBG Committee hoped they could expand the scope of rehabilitation work that is
proposed and help additional Orange residents.
Cy Baumann, 615 Cypress, Santa Ana, President of Christmas in April, stated they accept
referrals, many from the Senior Center and City agencies. They also actively solicit and recruit
from word of mouth and publicity. They are also trying to address handicap accessibility issues.
Councilman Alvarez asked about agencies that work with the Orange Unified School District.
It was pointed out that agencies such as Operation Clean Slate, the YMCAlYWCA, the
Assistance League and Lampson School have all made requests for funding in the past.
The Housing Manager further reported on the HOME program. The City's 2001-02 grant is
$527,000 and it is recommended to reserve those funds for future development, acquisition and
rehabilitation of affordable housing projects, with specific projects brought back during the next
year. The City does not have to identifY the specific projects at this time, but there is a two year
period in which the money needs to be spent.
MAYOR MURPHY OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING
The following individuals thanked the Council and CDBG Committee for supporting their
funding requests:
