Oral Former Mayor Al Pinkley.commended the City Manager
Communications and Finance Director for their work in preparation of
the tax rate analysis. Mr. Pinkley further expressed
appreciation to outgoing City Attorney Roy June for
his many years of service to the community.
Henry Roberts, 351 East Las Palmas, Fullerton,
addressed the Council regarding the difficulty he is
experiencing in collecting signatures for a rezone
petition due to the fact -that the property owners are
traveling in various parts of the world. Mr. Roberts
indicated that he does have a written authorization
from the property owners to act on their behalf with
respect to the subject property, and this letter of
authorization was read by the Planning Director. Mr.
Roberts requested the Council to initiate the rezone
on his behalf for the reason stated that new City
.procedures require signatures of all property owners
on the application. After lengthy discussion, the
Planning Director and City Attorney were requested
to determine whether the letter of authorization
would suffice in permitting Mr. Roberts to initiate
the rezone.
Carl Romahn, 2870 Alanzo Lane, Costa Mesa, expressed
several concerns with respect to the Mesa del Mar
residential tract. Mr. Romahn spoke of traffic and
long term parking problems which in turn created
difficulty in the street.sweeping operations. Also
mentioned was the problem of a single-family resi-
dence which houses boarders. After discussion, the
Mayor responded to Mr. Romahn that'an investigation
into his complaints would be conducted.
Roger White, requested approval of a business permit
for temporary use of a lot on Harbor Boulevard for
meetings in connection with the John Chambers Revival.
The City Manager recommended that this request be held
to the next meeting due to the fact that the City
staff has not had sufficient time to make their
recommendations. Mr. White indicated that this delay
would probably preclude their program. The Council
concluded that they did not have sufficient informa-
tion to vote on the matter at this time and therefore
no action was taken.
Councilmanic Mayor Hertzog discussed the appointment of Robert
Comments Campagna to serve as Acting City Attorney until a
permanent appointment is made. The City Attorney
responded on behalf of Mr. Campagna that he would
be willing to serve in this capacity. On motion by
Councilman McFarland, seconded by Mayor Hertzog, and
carried, Vice Mayor Hammett absent, Robert Campagna
was appointed Acting City Attorney effective Septem-
ber 1, 1977.
