I1400.0)
NOTE: Mayor pro tem Smith recused herself due to a potential conflict of interest with her
employment; as her employer has a working relationship with the U.S. Department of
Immigration; and left the dais.
Discussion - Councilmember Dumitru stated his reasons for sponsoring these resolutions:Resolution
No. 10481 - He stated the American citizens are frustrated by the federal government's
lack of action on the illegal immigration issue; and desire for enforcement in California, expressed
by voters in 1994 with overwhelming support for Proposition 87 that has since been
overturned by the courts. He noted that since the passage of Arizona's SB 1070,other states
have followed Arizona's lead and introduced their own bills mirroring that law.Page 9
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 8, 2010
5. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS (Continued)
He addressed some of the public's concern that this legislation would lead to racial profiling,
stating that the bill specifically prohibits this action as a cause for checking a person's
residency status. He added that his main concern is that persons residing here in the United
States are here legally, regardless of dialect, ethnicity, or color. He shared his father's story of
being a legal immigrant and commented that illegal immigration is a slap in the face to any
legal immigrant that followed the proper course of action to pursue legal residency. He added
that Arizona passed HB2162 to specifically forbid racial profiling.
Resolution No. 10482 - Hestated that this resolution memorializes what is already being done in
the City of Orange in being a rule of law city -working with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (
ICE), and under US Immigration Code Title 18, Section 1373 checking an arrested
person'slegal status. He stated the resolution states support for the City police department
and their work to enforce the law. He noted council's past actions regarding the day
laborer issue and its related safety issues, and the boarding house issue.He
added that he had received over 1200 e-mails, the majority in support of this action.

5. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS (Continued)
Mayor Cavecche stated that United States cannot have open borders if the welfare system
continues in its present form. She noted that Arizona is having an extremely difficult time with
crime, and that it was incredulous that cities in California would take derogatory actions
toward Arizona; and that once Los Angeles decided to take action against Arizona, it opened
the doors for all cities to take action. She stated that the City of Orange is not a racist
community, and noted the contributions of the Hispanic community in the City's history. She
reiterated that the resolutions basically say that Orange supports Arizona businesses and
residents and restates what the policy is of this city in enforcing laws.
Councilmember Murphy stated his appreciation for the mutual respect shown at the meeting
and the spirit of the debate, but had no reservations with supporting the resolutions as they are
a way of supporting Arizona businesses and residents in their efforts to address the impact of
illegal immigration and encourage free trade, and confirms support for federal immigration
laws. He commended Councilmember Dumitru for bringing this item forward.
Councilmember Bilodeau stated his agreement with passage of these resolutions. He shared
his story regarding his immigrant parents and himself being afirst-generation,
American-born citizen in his French
Canadian family.Councilmember Dumitru expressed his appreciation for the civility of the debate
and the opportunity for everyone to have a voice, noting the importance for voters to know
where the Council stands on issues. He noted that while some agencies cite Arizona law
as being unconstitutional, boycotting a state is also unconstitutional; and also supports
the enforcement of immigration laws and the Orange Police efforts in checking
immigration status.RESOLUTION

7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS (Continued)
Councilmember Bilodeau stated he had reviewed the traffic study and was satisfied that the
parking could accommodate traffic during simultaneous use, adding that he supported the little
league's request.
Councilmember Dumitru stated that he interpreted the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
as precluding simultaneous baseball and soccer use from occurring; that the use of the fields
was intended for one sport at one time. He added that he supported the little league's request.
Councilmember Murphy stated his recollection of the original discussion centered around
using the fields for one sport at a time; noting his preference was for an interpretation of the
MND rather than going back through the entire CEQA process. He stated his approval of the
baseball teams using the soccer fields for practice at identified times.
Mayor pro tem Smith stated her concern for impacts on the neighborhoods. She suggested that
if the MND were to be reviewed, the proper process for amending it should be followed.
Mayor Cavecche added that this was a unique situation, and that her concern is keeping the
number of players in check for parking, but did not mind spreading people out to other fields
for the same use.
Stephen Crouch, registered civil engineer and SSLL volunteer parent, stated that he prepared a
revised parking study to include the use of the baseball fields and the soccer fields by the little
league simultaneously, and that there exists adequate parking for the requested use.
City Attorney David DeBerry reported that traffic impacts are not relevant to this council
decision, but only the interpretation of a specific mitigation measure; as traffic impacts were
studied as part of the original MND and not subject to challenge at this meeting.
Councilmember Bilodeau stated his request that SSLL work with staff on the fields, including
ensuring that soccer fields are repaired or temporary back stops are installed
MOTION -Bilodeau
SECOND - Dumitru AYES -
Smith, Murphy, Cavecche, Dumitru, Bilodeau Moved
to override the staff interpretation and find that mitigation monitoring program permits South
Sunrise Little League to use soccer fields for practices simultaneous with use of baseball fields
for games.Page
