Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He had previously spoken against this
project in prior meetings and is still opposed. There is still only
one -half million dollars that needs to be covered for disaster repairs whereas
the bulk of the money is being spent for new development to present a positive
impression on the large users of the facility and also some other overhead
such as the $2.7 million for a housing program when the report states the City
does not have any current plans as to what they are going to do with the
money. In view of the fact that the City budget shows that the Stadium will
begin and end the budget year with a balance of $3.6 million, he still takes
issue that there is no reasonable way to come up with $500,000. He then spoke
to and questioned certain aspects of the agreement.
Council /Agency Member Feldhaus then posed questions for purposes of
clarification which were answered by City Manager Ruth.
Mayor /Chairman Daly closed the public hearing.
Mayor /Chairman Daly. He referred to the public comment made that there was no
need to do this. He disagreed. He feels this is an important project. The
taxpayers have a major investment in Anaheim Stadium and as the recent
earthquake illustrated, there are occasional endangerments to that investment.
They have to take strong and financially prudent steps to make sure that asset
is preserved and enhanced for future generations and this plan is doing that.
It is a very conservative plan involving approximately 150 acres of the
property of Anaheim Stadium. They are taking sound action.
Council /Agency Member Pickler offered Resolution No. ARA94 -20 for adoption.
