CITY COUNCIL MINUTES November 14, 1995
2. CONSENT CALENDAR (Continued)
The City Attorney indicated that staff recommended all bids be rejected and new bids be
solicited. The second lowest bidder filed a protest relative to two deficiencies by the low
bidder stating that the bidder failed to execute the bid properly and the bidder will not be
performing at least 50% of the work as required by the specifications. The issue is
whether these variances would constitute a substantial deviation and create a competitive
advantage for the low bidder. Since only 23% of the work will be performed by the low
bidder, waiving the 50% requirement may bring into question the integrity of the bid
process. The specifications were clear in that 50% of the work must be done by the
bidder.
Council discussion ensued regarding the bidding process and how problems of this type
can be resolved before being placed on the agenda. Also, a report was requested relative
to pricing differentials which could be offered to a City bidder compared to a bidder
outside the City.
The City Manager eXplained that the protest letters had been received late. A report will
be prepared to address any modifications that can be made regarding pricing differentials;
however, there may be legal precedence precluding the City from offering bidders any
incentives.
Because of the length of time involved with bidding this project, Mayor Coontz requested
that staff prepare a brief description of the Depot Park project.

REPORTS
TAPE 710 6.1 Staff
report from Community Development Department on the November 9, 1995, Cal Trans public hearing for
the proposed Southern Pacific Railroad Tustin Branch Bicycle Trail and consideration for filing
of a Transportation Enhancement Activities Grant application. (B5000.0)The Manager of
Advance Planning reported Caltrans held a public hearing; all property owners adjacent to the
right-of-way were noticed; the City Council has been provided with copies of the sign-
in sheets and written comments from the hearing; and summarized results of the Caltrans
public hearing. Field trips and attempts by Caltrans to address questions have provided a level of
comfort to residents that improvements proposed will improve their living environment and
provide the best of potential alternatives for the right-of-way. The trail will be two-
fold, both a riding trail and walking trail. The plan will include call boxes which will be
evaluated by the
public agencies involved.Police Captain Richards indicated they will provide surveillance of bicycle
and vehicular patrol.Mayor Coontz recognized the following people who
spoke in favor:Linda Hidy, 3748 E. La Veta Avenue, stated that her property backed up to the trail and
was in favor of the project. She felt there were security advantages and it would enhance
the connection to the community and offer
recreational opportunities.Betty and Niles Koines, 18022 Weston Place, Tustin, represented the Foothill
Community Association and expressed support for the
project.Carol McCauley, 13591 Saigon Lane
Speaking in opposition:
Dana Bosch, 1598 N. Morningside, voiced opposition to the project because she felt children would
hop the walls to cut through her neighborhood and a security problem would exist. She stated
that many of her neighbors were opposed to the project and felt the police could not patrol during
the day. Ms. Bosch asked if taxes would increase; if the City could afford to maintain the trail;
and if there would be a signal at Tustin Avenue. She also inquired about the nurseries behind
the Edison property.PAGE

6. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS (Continued)
The Manager of Advance Planning explained that a condition of the tract states that the trail will
use the east-west street on the south edge of the tract. This should reduce any need to hop
fences to cut through the area. The project will be paid entirely from grant funds and when complete
the estimated cost for the portion in the City of Orange will be $65,000 to $75,000 per year as part
of the parks maintenance program. There will be traffic signals at all street crossings which will
be activated by trail users. The nursery leases are short-term and can be terminated within
a short period of time. The trail will be a minor adjustment to the boundaries of the
nursery operations.Mayor Coontz noted there was a letter from Howard DeCruyenaere in support of the
trail and suggested that the Manager of Advance Planning contact Ms. Bosch to discuss specifics
of the legal implications of
her tract.RESOLUTION
NO. 8548 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Orange, authorizing the application for
funds for the Transportation Enhancement Activities Program under the Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 for the SPRR Tustin Bicycle

REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER TAPE 1597 The
following oral reports were added to the Agenda:7.
1 Recommendation for Investment Advisory Services (C2500.F)The
City Manager reported that the City Council authorized staff to look at hiring an in-house
investment manager to assist the City Treasurer and additionally directed staff to look at hiring an
outside advisory consultant in the interim to evaluate the portfolio. The Investment Advisory
Committee has recommended that an outside consultant not be hired on a permanent basis. The
function should be kept in-house for greater control and effectiveness. In April, an
outside investment consultant analyzed the City's investment portfolio and found it to be sound in terms
of safety, liquidity and yield. Since January, the City has purchased only U. S. Treasuries. The
City Manager reported on the conservative mix of investments and stated that, following a
careful review of the City's financial investments, staff does not feel there is a current need to hire
outside consultants. Staff will evaluate the process for an in-house investment manager and
not hire outside consultants until such time as the mix of investment is changed
for yield.

7.2 Orange County Bankruptcy Update
The Senior Assistant to the City Manager reported a recent meeting of all cities was held to get
detailed instructions on submitting remaining claims and to discuss strategies for timing to enter
into the proposed settlement agreement with the County. It was the consensus of all cities that
the agreement be considered in December. At that time it will be known if the County has
standing to sue Merrill Lynch in bankruptcy court. This will also keep pressure on the County to
provide the best information relative to County-administered City accounts. Staff will
present recommendations relative to the proposed agreement at the Council meeting of December
