ISIPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR SENIOR CITIZENS COORDINATING COUNCIL Royleen White, Community Services Director, reported that the Senior Citizens Coordinating Council will represent the groups in Tustin that provide services to our seniors, and they will also be an advo- cacy group for senior needs. Councilwoman Kennedy was pleased with most of the plan but asked that the majority of the representatives of the coordinating council be made up of seniors and that the coordinating council be able to come directly to the City Council for requests for action. CoUnciln~n Edgar said that since this was an advisory council made up of different groups, it doesn't matter which group is in the majori- ty. Councilman Hoesterey commented he would h6pe that a Senior Citizens Coordinating Council would be comprised of a majority of senior citi- zens. Royleen White, Connnunity Services Director, pointed out that in re- gard to requests for action, she would prefer to coordinate with the Senior Citizens Council and then report to the City Council. Councilwoman Kennedy asked if the representatives had to be residents of Tustin. Ms. White responded that it would not be a problem to have the senior clients who are serving on the council to be residents of Tustin but it might be a bit difficult for some of the agency staff or volun- teers to be required to be residents. Councilman Edgar suggested that it should be left to the discretion of the Community Services Director. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to approve the plans in- cluded in the Community Services Report dated October 10, 1980, and to direct staff to implement as indicated. Carried 5-0. 2. ORANGE COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT BUS STOP/LAYOVER Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer, reported that the only additional in- formation that he had on the item was a communication from the Larwin Square Merchants which was included in the Council books. Mayor Saltarelli asked if the problem could be solved by having the buses to warm up in the Larwin Square parking lot between the hours of 12 midnight to 6 a.m. They could enter the parking lot from Cen- tennial Way and exit from First St. The City Engineer pointed out that the pavement in Larwin Square may not be able to sustain the load from the buses. Rik Vollaerts, public relations counsel for the. Larwin Square Mer- chants Association, said that they had discussed the possibility of using the Larwin Square parking lot from 12 midnight to 6 a.m. and if approved, it should be the responsibility of the OCTD to repair the pavement if needed. Steve Bjornson from the Orange Co%nnty Transit District (OCTD) pre- sented a handout to the Council opposing any relocation and/or the splitting of existing layover zones at Larwin Square. He said that they have a policy that they do not enter into an agreement for added cost for pavement repairs. He was not certain that the buses could make the turning space in and out of Larwin Square. Council Minutes Page 4, 10-20-89 VI. NEW BUSINESS There were differences of opinion about what time the buses should use the Larwin Square parking lot. Mr. Nicholas favored 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. and Mr. Vollaerts objected to using the parking lot during the time that any business was open. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Saltarelli, to continue this item for 2 weeks to determine if Orange County Transit District and Larwin Square can make an agreement and also to see if the buses can maneu- ver the turns into and out of Larwin Square. Carried 5-0. 3. APPRAISAL OF 41.75' x 200' STRIP OF PROPERTY AT BOY'S CLUB SITE The appraisal was received from John C. Donahue, Real Estate Apprai- ser, with the current fair market value of this 9,913 sf property being $67,500 and its annual fair market rental on a long term net basis being $8,100. It was moved by Sharp, seconded by Edgar, to refer the report back to staff for them to negotiate with Mr. Foster through the City Attorney and then report back to the Council. Carried 5-0. 1. ANNEXATION AGREEMENT - CITIES OF TUSTIN AND IRVINE AND IRVINE COMPANY Mike Brotemarkle, Community Development Director, reported that the City of Irvine has requested three minor changes in the agreement: I. Deletion of Item D on page 1. 2o Change first line of Item 9 on Page 4 to read: "Company agrees to take all reasonable steps to notify any person who purchases from Company a property for a residence," and to delete the last sentence from Item 9, Page 4. 3e Addition of Section 12 on Page 4 to read: "If for some reason the U. S. Marine Corps does not approve the annexation or objects to the exchange, this agreement will be null and void, however, this does not preclude entering into a new agreement. Councilman Hoesterey questioned the wording of Item 8 on Page 3. He was concerned that a developer might develop a tract to the ultimate width and thereby create a situation where the road would be 2 lanes for a few miles, then become 6 lanes by his tract, and then go back to 2 lanes. Mr. Brotemarkle said that he would change the wording so that this type of situation would not occur. It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, to refer the annexation agreement to the City Attorney for final draft and recon- ciliation with the changes listed above and authorize the Mayor, City Clerk and City Attorney to execute the final agreement upon comple- tion. Carried 5-0. Mr. Brotemarkle, Community'Development Director, said that as an ad- dendum, we have prepared a new resolution on the Assembly Bill 8 is- sue regarding this. We did pass Resolution 80-109 when this was con- sidered two separate annexations but LAFCO now considers it a single MORGA Reorganization, so it is now MORGA Reorganization No. 53. We need to pass Resolution No. 80-113, which Council received today. RESOLUTION NO. 80-113 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Tustin, California, AGREEING TO THE EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY TAXES IN CONJUNCTION WITH MUNI- CIPAL REORGANIZATION NO. 53. Council Minutes Page 5, 10-20-80 It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to adopt Resolution No. 80-113. Carried 5-0. 2. REQUEST TO FILL VACANCY OF ONE POLICE OFFICER It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to authorize filling of one Police Officer personnel vacancy. Council agreed that staff should ask the City Attorney to look into the possibilities of having a Police Officer sign a statement that he would stay a certain length of time with the City after completing the Police Academy or he would .pay the City for the cost of the training at the Police Academy. They also asked for the statistics on how many women and how many men drop out of the Academy. It was moved by Kennedy, seconded bY Edgar, to authorize the filling of one Police Officer in the Police Department. Carried 5-0. 3. WALTER T. FLAHERTY'S OCTOBER 7, 1980 LETTER REGARDING TUSTIN MEAT CO. Mr. Brotemarkle reported that staff would continue to enforce the or- dinances but in regard to some of the complaints, in staff's opinion there is nothing they can do because legitimately there is no problem in regard to violation of the Ordinance. Both the Meat Company and Ginny's Antiques are non conforming uses. Council concurred that staff should d~aft a fair and polite response to Mr. Flaherty for the Mayor's signature' 4.
