PUBLIC
HEARING 1. ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN INHABITED TERRITORY DESIGNATED "IRVINE
BLVD. DEAN STREET ANNEXATION NO. 121 TO THE CITY OF TUSTIN
Mayor Saltarelli explained that this was a Public Hearing to
hear comments for or against Annexation 121. Any protests must
be submitted in writing. He opened the Public Hearing at 5:32
P.M.
Mayor Saltarelli explained that the benefits of being annexed
are: 1) Th~ City provides more minicipal services than the Coun-
ty does; 2) Any registered voter within the City limits can run
for office of Member of the City Council; 3) There is a finan-
cial benefit from being in the City because with the advent of
Proposition 13 all property taxes are the same whether you are in
the City or not you are taxed at 1% of the market value of your
property based on the assessment beginning in 1975 with a 2%
limitation per year; 4) The City of Tustin provides for free
trash pickup for single family residences; 5) We provide about
8 times the service relative to Police as you get with the County
because of the number of cars that we have on the streets at all
times and the size of the service area; 6) We provide street
sweeping and other types of services which the County does not
provide; and 7) The Recreation fees for classes are cheaper for
City residents than for County residents.

voters or if the owners of 25% of the assessed valuation of
property within the annexation area filed a protest to the

Staff reported that there were 156 verified registered voters
who signed the petitions in opposition to the annexation out of
364 registered voters on the May 5, 1980 Index of Registered
Voters. This n~nber; was over the 25%, which would require an '
election to determine the outcome, but less than 50%, which
would have terminated the annexation proceedings.

course of action to the January 5, 1981 regular Council meeting
in order for staff to obtain the latest Index of Registered
Voters and calculate the percentage of valid signatures and also
the percentage of assessed valuation ownership opposed.
Councilwoman Kennedy told the audience that the Council would
not railroad this annexation through and she gave them her tele-
phone~number for them to call at any time for information.
The motion carried 3-0, Sharp absent and Edgar absent for the
