City of Santa Ana, 205 Cal.App.2d 194, 197-198) (2) 22 Cal.Rptr. 707 that the person authorized to remedy the condition had knowledge or notice of the dangerous condition, (3) that such person for a reasonable time after acquiring that knowledge or receiving notice failed to remedy the condition or to take action reasonably necessary to protect the public against the condition.
