Margaret Carlberg, representing the Amigos de Bolas Chica, spoke to Council regarding Study

its boundaries. (00:01:30)
Don MacAllister, President, Huntington Beach Council on Aging, spoke regarding a decision
by Judge Velasquez on the Parks Legal Defense Fund v. the City of Huntington Beach
(Huntington Beach Senior Center). He expressed concerns related to the Judge's findings on
available school sites, recreational use in Central Park, Charter City decisions, and a large,
growing population of senior citizens without a place to accommodate their needs now, and in
the future. He urged Council to clear up administrative items and appeal the Velasquez
decision. (00:04:18)

center. He expressed concerns relating to what he described as disturbing language in the
decision about senior center usage not satisfying the customary notion of a park site. He
informed Council that a high percentage of regional senior, centers are located in parks, voiced
concerns about the Judge's possible ties with environmental activism, and a disregard for
people who voted in favor of the location in Central Park. He urged Council to support the
voters' decision. (00:06:18)
Ralph Bauer spoke regarding the Parks Legal Defense Fund v. the City of Huntington Beach,
and discussed efforts that began with a bond initiative 40 years ago that resulted in Huntington

begrudge old people a place to gather and meet. He urged Council to examine the identified
deficiencies and appeal the court's decision. (00:09:32)
