adequacy is still an issue that needs to be addressed. The move -in plans and logistics are being
• worked out, with the move planned for the week of October 11.

workers compensation. Most areas in the city will have fully automated service.
Public Comments
None present.
Other
♦ Discussed the proposal to move the OC fairgrounds to the Great Park in Irvine. City acted to
admonish the State for this plan, in part because it was not researched and presented accurately
to the state government. City controls zoning for this area and does not plan to change it.
♦ Discussed Proposition 1A and the need for it to pass in order to resolve the financial threats to
local government funds. City indicated that one opponent appears to be the California Teachers
Association because it believes that this measure would reduce schools funding. The impacts to
local agencies will be significant if this measure does not pass.
