POBLIC CONCBFaiS Kathy Weil, 1702 Summerville, Civic Liaison for the Tustin Meadows Community Association, read the following resolution into the Coun- cil minutes which was passed by the Association Board: BULLET TRAIN RESOLUTION RESOLVED that the Tustin Meadows Community Association strongly urges the Tustin City Council to actively oppose the construction and operation of the "Bullet Train" System. '11j .~ The Association's opposition to the "Bullet Train" is based on the following: • 1. Assembly Bill 3647, which makes possible this System, was approved by the State Legislature without proper public input and safeguards. 2. The construction of the System would create excessive noise and visual impact that would far outweigh any transportation bene- fits to the people. ~_ d 3. The construction of the system would lower the value of the residential property in the City of Tustin. 4. The strong possibility that the System would become a burden to the taxpayers. The Association asks the Council to oppose the "Bullet Train" by taking the following action: 1. Make the City's opposition known to the four-man review commis- sion chaired by Jesse Unruh. 2. Urge the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to oppose the Bullet Train on the basis that the System will create many problems and solve few. 3. Follow the lead of the San Clemente City Council by joining the Association for Bullet Train Review. 9• Join with the Tustin Meadows Community Association in communi- cating our concerns to our Legislators in Sacramento. Zt was moved by Greinke, seconded by Kennedy, to support the resolu- tion of the Tustin Meadows Community Association opposing the Bullet Train.
