ORANGE COUNTY AGENDA

Anaheim City Council

* GRANT APPLICATION: The council will consider seeking a grant worth more than $600,000 from the U.S. Department of Justice.

If awarded, the money would help the Police Department equip patrol officers with mobile computers.

Officials said the computers would help officers spend more time on their patrols and allow quicker responses to service calls.

* When: Tuesday, 5 p.m.

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

* Information: (714) 765-5166

*

Huntington Beach City Council

* AFFORDABLY MOBILE: Council members will discuss a proposal for city officials to join a nonprofit group in seeking a mobile home park that could be used as affordable housing. This would be a pilot project to acquire more housing for low-income residents.

* When: Today, 7 p.m.

* Where: Civic Center, 2000 Main St.

* Information: (714) 536-5227

*

Laguna Beach City Council

* TRASH FEES: The council will consider a plan to change garbage collection in the city by providing residents with three carts for various types of refuse and recyclables, and by raising fees.

The five-year contract with Waste Management Inc. would set the single-family-home rate at $13.07 per month. If the plan is approved, the new rate will take effect Nov. 1; the carts would be distributed in April.

* When: Tuesday, 6 p.m.

* Where: City Hall, 505 Forest Ave.

* Information: (949) 497-3311

*

Orange Planning Commission

* HISTORIC CHANGE: Commissioners will consider plans submitted by Ralph and Linda Zehner to build two duplexes, a cottage and a single-story garage behind their house on East Culver Avenue.

Their plans have been debated widely as the first substantial changes to an Old Towne property since the district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places last year.

* When: Today, 7 p.m.

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

* Information: (714) 744-5500

*

South Orange County Community College District

* NEW GUNS: Campus security officers are seeking new weapons under a proposal that will be considered by district trustees.

Since 1976, officers in the district have carried .38-caliber revolvers. They are seeking 9-millimeter semiautomatic weapons, which unlike their current weapons have safety devices.

Presidents of both Irvine Valley and Saddleback colleges recommend the upgrade, which would cost about $19,000.

* When: Today, 7 p.m.

* Where: Irvine Valley College, Student Services Center, Room 240, 5500 Irvine Center Drive, Irvine

* Information: (949) 582-4840
