2. TUSTIN LIBRARY LEASE AGREEMENT
Mr. Gill stated that the Orange County Board of
Supervisors has issued a negative report concerning
their leasingof a library site in the Tustin

the location of aCommunity Center for the City.

Orange County Board of Supervisors be discontinued
for this site.
3. CITY BUS
Mr. Gill reported that a bus could be contracted
for and leased for a cost of approximately $100
per day and presented a proposed route that could
be accepted or modified as required. This route
would serve all schools and shopping centers
within the City. He requested that the City
Administrator be permitted to proceed with the
implementation of a city bus service on a trial
basis of 4 6 months.
Advertising for the bus system could be handled
by a direct mail program by the City and, since
this program would require subsidization, the
various shopping centers might cooperate by
issuing wooden nickels, etc., to their customers.
The Chamber of Commerce also might be enlisted to
assist. Miss Marie Hickman, Tustin Chamber
Manager, stated that there was a possibility they
could help with the advertising program but not
with financial assistance.
This system could be in operation in approximately
one month but, Mr. Gill stated, the Orange County
Rapid Transit Dmsr~has not been consulted on
the proposed bus route.
Of the two names suggested for the bus (Buffalo
Bus or Nickel Bus), Mr. Langley expressed his
preference of the name "Nickel Bus."
