ORANGE COUNTY AGENDA

Anaheim City Council

* JAIL AGENTS: Council members will consider requesting the U.S. attorney general to fast-track a plan placing full-time Immigration and Naturalization Service agents at the city jail. The action could lead to expansion of the city’s citizenship screening program, which began in November 1996. The council also will consider an alternative INS proposal to devise a video teleconferencing program, saving money by reducing the need for agents in the jail.

* When: Tuesday, 5 p.m.; Study session at 2 p.m. on the next year’s budget proposal.

* Where: City Hall, 200 S. Anaheim Blvd.

* Information: (714) 765-5166

Fountain Valley City Council

* VACANT SEAT: Council members will decide how to fill the seat left vacant by James D. Petrikin. The councilman resigned last month amid allegations he was violating election codes by living outside city limits.

Council members have two options: They can leave the seat vacant until the November election or appoint a replacement. Council members have said they intend to put the seat up for election in November. The winner of the seat would finish Petrikin’s term, which lasts through 2000.

* When: Tuesday, 7 p.m.

* Where: City Hall, 10200 Slater Ave.

* Information: (714) 593-4400

Fullerton City Council

* TREE TRIMMING: In a cost-cutting effort, council members will consider hiring a private company to trim city trees. West Coast Arborists may get the contract.

If approved, city tree trimmers’ jobs will be in jeopardy as some may have to be laid off or take on other duties.

* When: Tuesday, 4 p.m.

* Where: City Hall, 303 W. Commonwealth Ave.

* Information: (714) 738-6300

Laguna Niguel City Council

* LETTERHEAD FLAP: Councilmen Eddie Rose and Mark Goodman will ask their colleagues to censure Councilwoman Patricia C. Bates for sending out a mailer promoting her campaign for Assembly on city letterhead. Rose and Goodman have said the mailer looked like an endorsement and was improper use of city stationery. Bates said her printer made a mistake, and she never intended to mislead voters. Rose and Goodman already had endorsed another Republican candidate in the 73rd District race.

* When: Tuesday, 7 p.m.

* Where: City Hall, 27801 La Paz Road.

* Information: (949) 362-4300

Orange Planning Commission

* MASSAGE RULES: Commissioners will consider changing local codes to allow massage therapists to operate in business and commercial zones.

Until recently, the city designated massage parlors as adult businesses, limiting them to industrial zones. The City Council recently modified the law to recognize massage therapy as a legitimate business, with licenses for those who meet minimum training requirements. The change was intended to give officials more regulatory control over the businesses.

* When: Today, 7 p.m.

* Where: City Hall, 300 E. Chapman Ave.

* Information: (714) 744-5500.

Santa Ana City Council

* FOR SALE: The City Council will consider selling a small parcel of land on Westminster Avenue to the Diocese of Orange. The city acquired the property in 1996 for widening of Westminster Avenue, between Fairview Street and Harbor Boulevard. But it only used part of the parcel at 5026 Westminster Ave. for the road project; now the city proposes the remaining land be sold to the Diocese of Orange for $71,820.

* When: Today, 6 p.m.

* Where: City Hall, 22 Civic Center Plaza

* Information: (714) 647-6900

San Juan Capistrano City Council

* BUILDING HALT: City Council members will consider adopting a moratorium on large building projects, giving the city time to update its General Plan--last revised in 1974. The proposal would halt only those projects that include more than 12 housing units or more than 10 acres of retail or commercial development. Exemptions are previously approved projects and grading permits as well as churches, schools or other public uses.

* When: Tuesday, 7 p.m.

* Where: 32400 Paseo Adelanto in San Juan Capistrano.

* Information: (714) 493-1171
