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. 1/13/88 Page 8 RECREATION & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16. Staff Report - Continued. 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. 1/13/88 Page 9 RECREATION & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16. Staff Report - Continued. 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 1/13/88 Page 10 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN RECREATION & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 16.
