REQUEST FOR PURCHASE OF MOBILE RADIO TELEPHONES (Unbudgeted Item) In response to Councilman Saltarelli's comments re budget con- straints, Police Chief Thayer responded that although the equip- ment would not be used every day, if and when the need arises, it is extremely worthwhile; and he could not evaluate whether or not the City should defer purchase until next fiscal year.

The City Attorney stated it was advisable to obtain the additional insured coverage. It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to authorize City payment of the $200 to designate the City of Tustin as additional insured on the Jaycee'$ parade insurance policy. As recommended by the Director of Finance, the motion was amended to authorize staff to explore the feasibility of includ- ing the Tiller Days Parade with the Street Fair liability insur- ance policy.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 9-21-81 2. VARIOUS CONCERNS - COUNCILMAN EDGAR a) Councilman Edgar expressed regrets on being unable to attend the September 16, 198~, Special Meeting at which the Housing & Community Development Program was approved. b) The City Engineer concurred with Councilman Edgar's sugges- tion that the proposed HCDA "B" S~reet project be identified ~ in detail by establishing a simple priority to complete the work from Nisson to Mitchell before attempting work on "B" Street from Mitchell to McFadden and that storm drain proj- ects be coordinated with s~reet improvements in that area. Council concurred. 81 c) Councilman Edgar complimented the Police Chief on his report and requested that in the future it include a footnote as to the number of speeding citations issued on residential streets. Following Council/staff discussion, Chief Thayer indicated he would advise Councilman Edgar if providing the figures would be feasible in terms of staff time. d) In response to Councilman Edgar, the Community Development Director reported that most Housing Element violations occur under the Housing & Dangerous Buildings Code for which the City is not staffed nor has the capacity to correct. 3, COUNCILWOMAN KENNEDY a) In response to Councilwoman Kennedy's request for an update on the City's procedure for dealing with overcrowded resi- dences, particularly on E1 Camino Real b~tween 1st and 2nd Streets, the Community Development Director responded that the problem exists throughout the City and relayed some of the legal problems involved in dealing with such matters. The City has been successful in a number of cases of major, flagrant overcrowding by exerting moral pursuasion on a given property owner or by discovering a technical code vio- lation of the UBC and thereby declaring the structure sub- standard and ordering it to be vacated. However, in many instances where overcrowding exists the City is not that fortunate where (a) the property owner is cooperative, or (b) there is a technical violation. Staff indicated they would investigate the specific location. b) Councilwoman Kennedy informed Council that she had received several complaints regarding chemical fumes in the air in South Tustin, and staff is working with her on this. The Community Development Director and Community Services Direc- tor are working together to set up a procedure whereby resi- dents will be informed through "Tustin Today" on the proper steps to follow, who to call, etc., on such matters. Coun- cilman Saltarelli reported that people on Royal Oak and Greenmeadow had also complained about the lames which he believed were caused by fertilizer used on the U.S.M.C. base. 4. NORTH TUSTIN SPECIFIC PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE i In accordance with Councilman Saltarelli's comments and recom- : mendation and following Council discussion, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Saltarelli, to cancel Council participation on the North Tustin Specific Plan Advisory Committee, with staff to monitor the Committee's activities, maintain County/City com- munications, and report to Council as necessary. Carried 5-0. 81 5. VARIOUS CONCERNS -MAYOR SHARP a) The City Attorney assured the Mayor that problems with the Boys' Club lease agreement have all been worked out to the satisfaction of all parties involved. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6, 9-21-81 b) In referenceto the the City named as a high priority site for the Industrial Waste Transfer Station being considered by the County Environmental Management Agency, Mayor Sharp reported he had contacted Supervisor Stanton on the matter and had received a satisfactory response (copies of which he distributed to Council). Councilman Edgar also contacted Supervisor Weider, but feels the City should still continue to monitor the matter very closely. Mayor Sharp indicated he specifically would like the press to note that the City has taken some action on the matter and believes that it will get due consideration before anything really happens. XI. ADJOURNMEMT It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterey, to adjourn at 5:02 p.m. to the next regular meeting on October 5, 1981. Carried 5-0.
