Kathy well, 1702 Summerville, Civic Liaison for the Tustin Meadows
Community Association, read the following resolution into the Coun-
cil minutes which was passed by the Association Board:
BULLET TRAIN RESOLUTION
RESOLVED that the Tustin Meadows Community Association strongly
urges the Tustin City Council to actively oppose the construction
and operation of the "Bullet Train" System.
The Association's opposition to the "Bullet Train" is based on the
following:
Assembly Bill 3647, which makes possible this System, was
approved by the State Legislature without proper public input
and safeguards.
The construction of the System would create excessive noise and
visual impact that would far outweigh any transportation bene-
fits to the people.
3. The construction of the system would lower the value of the
residential property in the City of Tustin.
4. The strong possibility that the System would become a burden to
the taxpayers.
The Association asks the Council to oppose the "Bullet Train" by
taking the following action:
1. Make the City's opposition known to the four-man review commis-
sion chaired by Jesse Unruh.
2. Urge the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
to Oppose the Bullet Train on the basis that the System will
create many problems and solve few.
3. Follow the lead of the San Clemente City Council by joining the
Association for Bullet Train Review.
4. Join with the Tustin Meadows Community Association in communi-
cating our concerns to our Legislators in Sacramento.
It was moved by Greinke, seconded by Kennedy, to support the resolu-
tion of the Tustin Meadows Community Association opposing the Bullet
Train.

At ~he request of Councilwoman Kennedy and the City Manager, an

In response to Councilman Saltarelli's request, Council con-
curred that the- City Manager send a copy to the Tustin News
Editor of. his letter dated November 5, 1982, to the Chamber of
Commerce President responding to an article which appeared in
the November, 1982, issue of the Chamber's "Tustin Advocate,"
which inferred that cities will unilaterally raise property
taxes to fund the cost of employee retirement. 97

Councilman Gretnke explained that the reason we have not com-
pleted the final paving on parts of E1 Camino Real and Main
Street is a safety factor. Staff wants to keep the traffic
flowing as slowly as possible during construction.
Mayor Edgar commended the City Awards Committee for a fine
Awards banquet and asked that letters of commendation be sent to
the
Xll.
Mayor Edgar reported that the City Attorney had given the opin-
ion that it was probably invalid to fund any Christmas decora-
tions for the downtown area from the Redevelopment Agency but it
would be appropriate to fund it out of the general revenue. He
also reported that Gene Carter of the Edison Company has sug-
gested that Council should be very alert as to legal authority
for expending energy for decorations. 81
Mayor Edgar suggested that the ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrat-
ing completion of the downtown area improvements should be held
in early January, perhaps January 15 at 10:00 a.m. The Well
Wishers have volunteered to help and we should involve the Cham-
ber of Commerce, the Historical Society, and any other groups
that would like to help. A cum~ittee should be formed that
would include those participants that would like to help. Coun-
cil concurred. 95

Kathy Weil, 1702 S~mmerville, Civic Liaison for the Tustin Meadows
Co~nunity Association, read the following resolution into the Coun-
cil minutes which was passed by the Association Board:
BULLET TRAIN RESOLUTION
RESOLVED that the Tustin Meadows Community Association strongly
urges the Tustin City Council to actively oppose the construction
and operation of the "Bullet Train" System.
The Association's opposition to the "Bullet Train" is based on the
following:
Assembly Bill 3647, which makes possible this System, was
approved by the State Legislature without proper public input
and safeguards.
The construction of the System would create excessive noise and
visual impact that would far outweigh any transportation bene-
fits to the people.
3. The construction of the system would lower the value of the
residentiaI property in the City of Tustin.
4. The strong possibility that the System would become a burden to
the taxpayers.
The Association asks the Council to oppose the "Bullet Train" by
taking the following action:
Make the City's opposition known to the four-man review commis-
sion chaired by Jesse Unruh.
2. Urge the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
to oppose the Bullet Train on the basis that the System will
create many problems and solve few.
3. Follow the lead of the San Clement. City Council by joining the
Association for Bullet Train Review.
4. Join with the Tustin Meadows Community Association in communi-
cating our concerns to our Legislators in Sacramento.
It was moved by Greinke, seconded by Kennedy, to support the resolu-
tion of the Tustin Meadows Community Association opposing the Bullet
Train.
