Administrator and Council had made the decision to cut half of the funding for the DARE Progran,
which removes the program from all middle schools, private schools, and also from the parenting
program. He stated that he teaches 15 classes a week with approximately 25 children in each
class. He explained the program and the need to teach the students before they reach middle
school and before high school. He requested that the Council listen to the children's essays before
cutting the program.

Pearce, Ashlee Blake, Tania Cardosa, and Brian Rayhanabad read their essays on what DARE

The City Administrator stated that decisions had not been made on the 1996-97 budget, and
explained the process that would take place. He stated he wanted to make it clear that no decision
had been made and that discussions were on -going.
Coni Kohan spoke in support of the DARE Program stating it was preventative maintenance.
Fred Speaker, Planning Commissioner, requested that the item regarding the May 20, 1996, City
Council Approval of The Settlement Release and Exchange Agreement between the city and
Marow for acquisition of 20 Encyclopedia Lots be reconsidered because it had not been fully
explained to the citizens. He listed discrepancies and stated that, for example, the item lists 20 lots
yet includes 23 parcels. He requested reconsideration of the item due to the need for additional
research so that matters would be done right for the city and its citizens.
Timothy Ryan stated that prior to the meeting he distributed a memo in support of the request for
reconsideration of the May 20, 1996, City Council approval of the Settlement Release and
Exchange Agreement between the city and Marow for the acquisition of 20 Encyclopedia Lots. He
stated he also distributed a paper showing the Fairview Tract, where he resides, and the lots in
question. Mr. Ryan stated that he had been interested in purchasing four lots and had contacted
the city's real estate staff in 1994, again in 1995, and was not informed nor was made a part of the
present negotiation. He stated he discovered the city had taken action on the lots after he had
contacted an attorney on May 22, 1996.
Michael Doyle, real estate broker, retained by Timothy Ryan in October, 1995, to assist Mr. Ryan in
acquiring the four lots adjacent to his property in the Fairview Tract. He informed Council he had
called Paul Larkin, City Real Estate Agent, and was informed that the parcels had been included in
negotiations with a party whom he could not disclose and to negotiate with the party after the trade
was closed which would be about 90 days. Mr. Doyle questioned several conditions of the
Settlement Release and Exchange Agreement between the city and Marow and stated the citizens
would be better served through a procedure such as auctioning off the parcels as Seal Beach has
done. He urged Council to reconsider this Exchange Agreement.
Don Caldwell, speaking as a mobile home owner and not as a member of the Mobile Home Review
Board, stated he truly believed in the Mobile Home Review Board. He stated his concern was the
membership composition. He referred to the Request for Council Action dated June 3, 1996 and
stated opposition to the staff recommendation that would include highly paid management
company representation on the Board. He informed Council t`,at the Board approved the bylaws
except for Article 1 Section 3 pertaining to this issue.
In response to Mayor Sullivan, Mr. Caldwell stated he would want the language to read "mobile
home park owners or resident managers who are not members of a professional management
company".
B. J. Griffin read an essay in support of the DARE Program.
Steve Gullage, Mobile Home Homeowners' Association President, spoke in support of continuing
the DARE Program. He addressed Council regarding the Agenda Item pertaining to Ordinance
No. 3332 and stated he opposed any changes in the committee representation as it would destroy
the original intent of the committee.

06/03/96 - City Council/Redevelopment Minutes - Page 5
Jinx Varona spoke in support of maintaining the DARE Program. He stated the DARE Program
helps kids without a strong family base and that the funding needed to be increased, not cut.
Dean Albright stated he had worked on committees with other concerned citizens since 1970 and
showed books containing the city budget and brochures. He presented a history of how the trash
fee started and recommended open bidding on trash disposal contracts to keep the cost down. He
stated the citizens are charged for recycling. Mr. Albright stated there should be open bidding for
cable television. He stated the industrial base should be expanded and tax incentives should be
given to bring businesses to Huntington Beach.
Administration To Prepare Response To Mr. Albright
Councilmember Bauer requested that Administration respond in writing to Mr. Albright's comments
and also that copy of said response be provided to the Council.
Ron Russell, Pride Foundation Chairman of the Board, spoke in support of the DARE Officers and
stated it was the first time he had heard that no decisions had been reached. He stated that he
had been informed that the new officer that had been assigned to DARE had his class canceled
and that the two low -seniority -ranking officers had been told they would not be returning to the
DARE Program next year. He stated that the Pride Foundation had offered to pay the expenses
for four DARE officers to attend the convention this year at no cost to the city, but the offer had
been declined due to the uncertainty of the DARE Program. He spoke about the fundraising events
that would continue to be held, and stated support was needed. Mr. Russell stated the Pride
Foundation has a coalition with the school districts and currently works with the public and private
sector to form another coalition to support the program.
Mark Porter, Mobile Home Review Committee Chairman, questioned the last two paragraphs on
the first page of the Request for Council Action for the Agenda Item pertaining to Ordinance
No. 3332. He stated the true picture was not presented and that the key issue was that the mobile
home owners wanted to meet with park owners rather than an employee or representative in order
to have a direct line between residents and park owners to present their concerns.
Vickie Talley, Executive Director of the Manufactured Educational Trust, stated she was present at
the request of the mobile home park owners who sit on the Mobile Home Review Committee. She
expressed concern that discussion of the bylaws had gone on over a year, that the language be
kept simple, and that the Council approach the most qualified persons. She stated that of the
sixteen parks, many owners were retired and not managing park owners and requested Council to
allow flexibility. She recommended the nine -member committee consist of the following: three
members representing mobile home park ownership, three members representing residents, and
three independent members not affiliated with mobile home parks. She requested that resident
managers not be on the committee as they would be swayed too much by the residents.
In answer to Councilmember Harman's inquiries on using volunteers and seniors or retired police
officers to teach the DARE Program, Officer Lynn stated that using police officers lends more
credence to the program and that other cities had tried using people other than officers for the
DARE Program without success. He stated that the presence of police officers in the classroom is
a large part of the program.
