Councilman Addiego stated that he was not
at the meeting for the first reading of
this Ordinance, however, he had listened
to the thirty minute discussion.
He stated that he was in concert with the
Council on the acquisition of the
Mazzanti property, but that was as far as
he could go with the measure. He stated
that he was concerned that the City was
playing a little fast and loose in regard
to the amount and ambitious nature of the
bond measure. He stated that going to
the people for an increase of property
tax through this bond mechanism was an
extreme measure; and that this building
was a good example of a successful
example of a bond measure when thirteen
years ago a bond measure to accomplish a
worthwhile goal had come up short of the
two-thirds vote required.
He stated that he was so committed to
acquiring the Mazzanti property that he
did not want to take any chances by
tacking development of the park, plus
the purchase of the California Water
property - which no one could convince
him that the California Water property
was threatened with development as was
the Mazzanti property.
He stated that in June 1974 there had
been a $4,500,000 bond measure for a
worth while cost designed initially to
take care of a problem at the Police
Station, but the City started tacking
things on and before it went to the
people it included Fire Administration
being relocated, and the closing of Buri
Buri Station which was not the original
intent of the bond measure - the others
could have waited. He stated that for
those reasons he was opposed to the
$5,000,000 bond measure.

RECREATION & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
He stated that Councilman Haffey had
stated at the last meeting that there
were State bond monies that could be used
for development in the future. He stated
that a master study had not been done,
which would included the California
Water property, and he was concerned with
the long term maintenance of the pro-
perty, and perhaps losing the Mazzanti
property.
Councilman Haffey stated that he was
disappointed in Councilman Addiego's
expression of opposition, not so much in
the philosophy, but in the fact that he
waited until the adoption of the ordi-
nance to voice his opposition. He stated
that there were times when Councilmembers
could not attend a meeting, however
Councilman Addiego could have found other
ways to express his opposition.
He stated that it would be unfortunate
for the Council to go forward on a 4-0
vote, and Councilman Addiego might go
forward and lead the opposition to the
measure. He stated that any type of bond
measure was difficult if one member of
the Council was against it, and wished
Councilman Addiego's concerns had been
voiced earlier.
Councilman Addiego stated that one month
had passed since the meeting he had been
unable to attend, where it had been
stated that there was a great deal of
work to be done on the measure. He
questioned what had been done to get the
election going.
Mayor Drago stated that nothing had been
done, however, he felt that it was
imperative that the Council be united on
this election.
He stated that he had also expressed con-
cerns about leasing the California Water
property rather than purchase, however,
the different service clubs or the public
that came to the meeting wanted to
purchase the property with development.

RECREATION & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Councilman Addiego stated that he was
very concerned about moving too fast on
the item, and he was not going to lead
any opposition against the measure. He
felt that the members of the public that
had been vocal on the measure were not
a good assessment of the public.
He stated that the Council knew that they
did not have the money to purchase the
Mazzanti property, and there was concern
that the property could be sold.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that originally
she had just been for the acquisition of
the Mazzanti property so that it would
not be lost to the City. She had
realized that if money was committed to
expand the park through a bond measure,
the City could not come back later for
further money to improve the park and
purchase the California Water property.
She stated that for many years the park
had been undersized for the needs of the
community, and a master plan should be
designed to include the various
fields needed.
Discussion followed: the need to alert
the voters to support the measure;
leasing the California Water property
which was zoned open space; the main-
tenance of wells on the property; that
Orange Park was designed for 7,000 people
vs. a current population of 52,000;
improvement of the Corporation Yard which
was not a part of the bond measure;
acquiring only the Mazzanti property and
allowing future Councils to act on impro-
vements to the park; that the Mazzanti
contract had a five year condition before
there would be a vacation of the proper-
ty in the event the bond measure was suc-
cessful; that the Council had to take
action by 1/15/88 for the election to
proceed; that the bond measure required a
two-thirds vote; that Councilman
Nicolopulos was the only Councilperson
