PROPOSED REORGANIZATION NO. 53 The City Manager presented an updated staff report as contained in his inter-com dated April 27, 1983, and responded to Council questions. The City Manager noted that the map included in the staff report points out that regardless of the outcome of the proposed reorganization, some future military housing will be within Irvine city limits anyway. In response to Councilman Edgar, Brian Austin, Irvine Company representative, stated that the Irvine Company owns the parcel of land north of Irvine Center Drive, east of Peters Canyon Channel. Mayor Hoesterey opened the continued public hearing at 7:17 p.m. There were no speakers on the matter. The City Manager recommended continuance of the matter to May 16, 1983. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 5-2-83 Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy noted that a major concern of military personnel at the last public hearing was the dividing of the residential community from the main part of the base and that they desired to stay in Tustin to maintain the present high level of service. Now we learn that a development is proposed for residential units within the City of Irvine adjacent to the parcel under debate, which would result in the residential~com- munity being split between two cities regardless of the proposed reorganization. She suggested that staff meet with the City of Irvine to discuss these concerns. She continued that the Coun- cil is supportive of the military, and she knows of no plan, nor would she support one, that would hamper military operations in the City of Tustin. It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that the open public hearing be continued to May 16, 1983. In response to Councilman Saltarelli, the City Manager stated that it is the City's opinion that a valid protest has not been filed by the United States Navy. Councilman Saltarelli stated his support of the continuance and requested that staff discuss the reorganization and the realignment of the road with the City of Irvine and the Irvine Company. After further discussion, the motion carried 4-0, Greinke absent. 24 V I. CONSENT CALENDAR Kennedy registered an abstention on Item No. 8.

PRIVATE ALLEY BETWEEN PROSPECT AVENUE & PREBLE DRIVE, NORTHERLY OF THIRD STREET The Director of Public Works presented the staff report as con- tained in his inter-com dated April 15, 1983. May~r Hoesterey and Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy concurred with the staff report that expending public funds on private property could establish a precedent. Councilman Saltarelli expressed a counter view that although it is a private driveway, it is used a great deal by the public when leaving the post office. Therefore, the property owners suffer an economic disadvantage because of the location of the post office, and the constant use of the driveway causes it to be in a state of disrepai r. He stated that the public heal th and safety require minimal expenditure in this instance, by means of hotpatching the deep holes to keep it relatively safe, and favors obtaining cost figures to repair this alley. Councilman Edgar stated his support of this position and sug- gested using Redevelopment funds for same. Majmr Pro Tem Kennedy expressed concern over precedents and expending public funds on private property. After further discussion, it was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, to direct staff to report back with cost figures to repair subject alley and that the City Attorney provide a legal opinion on the matter. Carried 4-0, Greinke absent. 95 3. BULLET TRAIN The City Manager provided an oral report on legislative matters pertaining to the Bullet Train.
