Tustin council approves consent calendar, property sale, fleet agreement and youth-center mural

The Tustin City Council voted unanimously on April 7 to approve its consent calendar and three pulled items: a purchase-and-sale agreement for 150 East 1st Street, a fleet-management agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management Inc., and a public-art mural for the Tustin Family & Youth Center.

Council member Fink described the property at 150 E. 1st St. as the old war memorial building that has long been used as a preschool and said the sale to CAZ LLC is intended to reactivate the asset while preserving memorial plaques in city parks. Fink moved the item and the council approved the purchase-and-sale agreement 5–0.

Mayor Pro Tem Schnell introduced the agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management, saying the vendor’s scale will allow the city to pursue better leasing terms, lower acquisition costs and improved disposition options for the city’s roughly 196 vehicles. "This program is going to allow us to look at ways that we can be more efficient with every single dollar that we bring into the city to acquire, manage, service over 196 vehicles that are used across the city," Schnell said before the council voted to approve the agreement.

Council member Fink asked staff to display renderings before the vote on the Tustin Family & Youth Center mural project so the public and remote viewers could see the design. Councilmembers praised the mural and the public art commission; the council approved the mural project in a unanimous roll call.

Clerks' roll calls recorded affirmative votes from all five council members on each motion. No motions failed, and no abstentions were recorded.
