1996-0701_ORANGE, COUNTY OF_G1a_Item Minutes Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Hart opened the Public Hearing, and the
following persons responded:
(1) Pauline Leonard, 27589 Brookside Lane, on behalf of the Mary Erickson Foundation
and San Juan Housing Advocates, expressed appreciation to City staff for their
assistance and to the Capistrano Valley News for their graphic depiction of the City's
budget situation. She noted the large amount of increased funding proposed for
Police Services and inquired whether the additional police protection was really
necessary. She supported expenditures for the City's parks and their maintenance but
opposed the sale of City-owned property to relieve debt service. She urged that
housing opportunities for low- and very low-income people be made a priority for
1996-97. She suggested that units abandoned by HUD be acquired for rental units
now. She noted that many non-profit builders are willing to assist the City in this
effort. She recommended that the rental scale in Little Hollywood be re-evaluated.
