4. STEERI#G COI~ITTEE FOR A SENIOR crdITER - ORAL REPORT
Council concurred with Mayor Hoesterey's request that subject item
be considered at this point in the agenda.
Janet Schwartz, 10292 Overhill Drive, unincorporated Tustin area,
stated that she has been an active volunteer in a variety of Tustin
community service organizations for a number of years, and appears
this evening as a spokesperson for the Steering Committee for a
Senior Center (SCSC) - a small, informal committee of area senior
citizens which has been meeting since August 1983 to conduct a
feasibility study for the development of a senior citizens' center
in Tusttn. This committee was purposely composed of a small number
of senior citizens of diverse backgrounds and divergent views to
benefit from a wide range and cross-section of opinions. In addi-
tion, the committee has had the benefit of the time, interest, sup-
port and cooperation of Mayor Ron Hoesterey and Mayor Pro Tem
Ursula Kennedy who have met regularly with the Co,m, ittee and given
advice and counsel.
Mrs. Schwartz introduced the following Committee members:
Rose Zuccarelli, President, Tustin Chapter, American Association of
Retired persons, Inc., and active leader and volunteer in all
sen~or affairs in Tustin.

Nick Ogden, Center Manager for TLC (Transportation, Lunch and Coun-
seling), under the auspices of Fee~ack Foundation, Inc.
Ruby May-, Tustin represehtative on the O.C. Senior Citizens' Coun-
cil, former representative of the State Senior Citizens' Legisla-
tive Council in Sacramento, and active leader and volunteer for
many years in numerous Tustin senior activities.
Ken Hoesterey, Board of Directors menber, Tustin Chapter, A~ertcan
Association of Retired Persons, Inc., retired business executive
and concerned senior citizen.
Ruth Jacobsen, committee advisor, recognized leader in senior citi-
zen affairs, and one of the organizers of the Anaheim Senior Citi-
zens' Center.
Mrs. Schwartz described the committee's formation and its develop-
ment of a step-by-step approach for reaching the goal of a senior
citizens' center in Tusttn. The committee reviewed the desira-
bility, need, feasibility, and benefits of promoting such a center,
and confirmed the validity of demands by seniors for a facility in
which full-time programs could be developed each day of the week in
a place of their own.
The committee then reviewed the needs analysis study conducted in
1981 by the Tustin Senior Citizens' Council and City staff me~bers,
which showed that the majority of seniors listed the need for a
Tusttn senior citizens' center as the hUnt, er one priority. The
committee's own survey found this remained the first concern of the
senior population.. The committee then visited senior citizen cen~*
ters in neighboring Orange County communities, and accumulated
information on such centers all over the county. The committee
investigated possible sources of funds, capital and operating, for
a senior citizens' center and its programs, and is convinced that
both private and public funds are available.
Mrs. Schwartz si~ted that the committee is now at the point v/here
it needs the support, involvement, and expertise of others in the
community in order to proceed further effectively, and it plans to
publicize efforts which have been made thus far and ask for volun-
teers to serve on a series of major sub-committees.
Mrs. Schwartz requested the Tustin City Council's public endorse-
ment of efforts to establish a Tustin senior citizens' center and
authorization for the City Manager and staff to work closely with
the senior committees and provide the needed expertise to assist
seniors in reaching this goal. With such an endorsement and policy
.commitment by the Tustin City Council, the steering committee will
be given further incentive to diligently pursue the steps needed to
establish an outstanding and worthwhile Tustin senior citizens'
center in the relatively near future.
City Council nm,bets individually expressed endorsement in prin-
ciple of the Committee's efforts to establish a Tustin Senior Citi-
zens' Center.

XI. RE~ORTS
1. PtAIIMII~ COMISSIOll ACTIOII$- FEBRUARY 27, 1984
Councilman Saltarelli expressed concern regarding Public Hearing
No. 4 - Use Permit 84-3 on the February 27, 1984, Planning ~ommls-
sion Action Agenda. He stated that although the Planning Con~ts-
sion conditionally approved Use Permit 84-3 in that the previously
approved arcade (Ski Fever) must vacate the premises, which it evi-
dently has, he is concerned that such action in effect authorizes
an additional a~cade as opposed to replacing it. Councilman Salta-
relli also stated that he was annoyed that prior to Planning Com-
mission approval of Use Permit 84-3, there was advertisement of an
arcade opening, which he felt was presumptuous. Therefore, he
brought the matter to Council's attention for discussion and possi-
bly agendizing the matter for further review. Councilman Edgar
concurred.
After further discussion, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Salta-
relli, to appeal Use Permit 84-3.
Maurtce Lebanoff, 11821 Hetdi Drive, unincorporated Tustin area,
spoke in favor of Use Permit 84-3 and responded to Council ques-
tions.
· Councilmen Edgar and Saltarelli reiterated their concerns on the
matter. Following further Council/staff discussion, the motion
failed 2-3, Greinke, Hoesterey, and Saltarelli opposed. ~
Regarding Planning Commission Public Hearing No. 2 - Use Permit
84-2 (Northeast Corner of Seventeenth and Yorba Streets) - Council-
man Edgar requested that staff analyze any cost savings if the City
were to cooperate with the builder to place conduit underground now
in permanent position for the eventual utility undergroundtng of
Seventeenth Street, recognizing that it would be paid from the
General Fund. This would eliminate ripping out sidewalks, gutters,
etc., in the future that the builder would install in conJunctiqn
with this development. Council concurred.
It was then moved by Greinke, seconded by Edgar, to ratify the
balance of the Planning Commission agenda, garrled 5-0. 80
