The council voted 4 to 1 for the $30-million bond package, including the application submitted by Urbatec, the Santa Monica-based builder chosen for the redevelopment project. The shopping center plan generated a year-long debate in the city, much of it centered on Ace Muffler. The thriving business already has been forced to move, to make way for a street-widening project begun in 1981. The owner, Miguel Armando Pulido, had not yet completed a new, $200,000 shop when he was told he would have to relocate again, because of the redevelopment project.

This time, Pulido and his sons filed two lawsuits against the city, seeking to block the development. The suits maintain that the muffler shop could be a valuable addition to the shopping center, but Urbatec refused to permit it to stay. Acting as spokesman for his father, Miguel Angel Pulido said Monday's council decision was a slap in the face to Ace Muffler. "It leaves us wondering why the city is offering so much support to Urbatec," he said, referring to the city's plan to buy the property for $5 million, then sell it to the developer for $1.8 million. "We though Urbatec would have to do something on its own," Pulido said, "but now the city's simply saying, 'Here it City Manager Robert C.

Bobb told the council he is "personally involved" in trying to solve the Ace Muffler problem. "We are continuing (to seek) ways of maintaining a relationship" with the Pulidos, he said. Mayor Robert Luxembourger voted against the bond measure. Councilmen John Acosta and Gordon Bricken were absent. Pulido said the family has scheduled a meeting today with Robert Dornan (R-Garden Grove) to discuss the situation and a federal investigation initiated by Dornan's predecessor, Rep.

Costa Mesa Cypress Choice ofHertzog as Mayor Breaks Council Deadlock In a compromise move, the City Council on Monday night named Norma Hertzog mayor of the city and newly elected Mary Hornbuckle vice mayor.

Kanel was first elected to the council in 1964 and served until 1976, including a stint as mayor.

In 1976, he unsuccessfully ran for Laguna Beach Council to Consider Senior Citizen Apartments Project City officials want a better look at how a proposed low-cost senior housing project would fit in a vacant eucalyptus grove. The City Council tonight is scheduled to consider whether to hire an architect to draw up conceptual plans for 12 apartments near Thurston Park. Some nearby residents argue that 12 apartments are too many. Several senior citizens say the number isn't enough to meet the city's senior citizens' housing needs. Originally, 24 units were proposed but city officials decided that 12 was a fair compromise.

The plan calls for the apartments to be built on a lot near Laguna Canyon Road, in a flat, woodsy, residential part of the city. The City Council has agreed in principle that there should be senior housing in the city, and city officials have called the Thurston Park site the best location. Under the proposal, a dozen 350-square-foot studio apartments would be built in either one or two stories. A one-story building would cover 40 of the lot and a two-stories building would encompass no more than 25. The cost of the building is estimated at $540,000 and is proposed to be built by private developers or a nonprofit corporation through developers' fees and federal Community Development Block Grant funds.

Plans call for the city to donate the land. members of the council. She may become the pivotal sway vote between two factions of the council: last year's mayor, Donn Hall, and Arlene Schafer on one side and newly elected members, Hornbuckle and Dave Wheeler on the other. Privately, council members said that Hall and Schafer would not accept either Hornbuckle or Wheeler for the mayor's spot. And Hornbuckle and Wheeler would not vote for either Schafer or Hall.

Jane Galbraith Buena Park City Agrees to Buy Church That Will Be Razed for Office Complex The city Monday night agreed to buy the Pentacos-tal Church of God, which it intends to tear down, and to sell the displaced parishioners another piece of land for a new church. The small church is situated in the Phase Two area of the Superblock office complex and is one of the last pieces of property the agency needs to buy before it owns all the land in the project area, said Felice Acosta, city redevelopment agency director. The vacant land on the northeast corner of Stanton Avenue and 4th Street where the new church will be built is owned by the Buena Park Library District. The agency plans to buy the land from the library district and sell it to the church for $160,000, Acosta said. The agency also intends to finance $60,000 of the sale for 12 over 30 years, she said.

"In essence, we are financing the construction of a new church by providing them with enough cash with the sale of their property, instead of their having to go out and get financing," she said. By law, redevelopment agencies must help people displaced by redevelopment to find new sites. This case is unusual because the new site also is in a redevelopment district, and therefore eligible for favorable financing. The land where the church now stands eventually will be developed into the second building in the Superblock complex a $20-million, 8.2-acre office park.

6 election. They replaced Vice Mayor Eric Johnson and retiring council member Ed McFarland. Hall, 55, who has served on the council since 1978, placed third in the balloting for the three available seats. Hornbuckle and Wheeler were backed by a coalition of homeowners groups which claimed the incumbents do not listen to residents and are too growth-oriented. Dan Nakaso Stanton Proposal for Recycling Center to Be Weighed by City Council A plan for a recycling center for aluminum cans and newspapers will go before the City Council tonight.

Pomona-based Garden State Paper Company Inc. has proposed to run a center at Laguna Canyon Road and Woodland Drive and pay rent to the city based on the amount of tonnage it collects. Although the city probably would get relatively little rent, said Rob Clark, assistant to the city manager, the effort would "be contributing to the recycling effort and this, of course, would reduce the amount of trash that would have to be picked up." Several years ago, a group of volunteers attempted a similar center in the canyon area. The effort died, however, primarily because the aluminum and newspapers were donated. Under the latest plan, the center would pay for materials on the basis of current market rates.

Garden State Paper then would pay the city monthly rates depending on a sliding scale $1 per ton for the first 100 tons; $1.50 per ton for the second 100 tons and $2 for each additional ton. The firm has proposed to run the center between two and five days per week. The city's Energy and Environment Committee, which has recommended approval of the plan, also had considered a curb -side program in which residents would set out their aluminum cans and newspapers and a private firm would collect it. Dan Nakaso Police Seeking Information on Missing Riverside Woman Police still have no suspects or leads in the disappearance of a Riverside woman, who was last seen walking out of a bar in Orange more than a week ago. "We're at a loss right now," Detective Bob Taylor said.

"We don't know what happened, but they're very suspicious circumstances. Her family and friends are at a loss, too." Taylor said that on Nov. 11, Jesslyn Rich, 35, and several friends went to Charlie's Wild West, a nightclub at 3422 E. Chapman Ave. After a few drinks, she left alone through the bar's front door at about 9:30 p.m.

She hasn't been seen since. Her 1984 Nissan sports car was left in the bar's parking lot. Police later impounded it, Taylor said. Rich, an employee of the California Institute for Men in Chino, didn't show up for work on Tuesday, her next work day. Rich is separated from her husband and lives with her two daughters, ages 11 and 14, the detective said.

Taylor described Rich as white, 5 feet 3 and about 120 lbs, with blond hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a lavender, short-sleeved sweater and burgundy pants, and carrying a purse. Taylor requested that anyone who might have information about Rich call him at 532-0252.
