oxpandod redevelopment boundar:tes. He reported that a Pro,jeot Area ~ommitt~e w~ss preseni:ly
being Sormed and the.t everyone within the pro,jeot bound~ries had been notified.
Commissioner Farano oxpressod deep oonaerr~ thnt the people with~.n ttie pro~eat aree bo given
overy oppor~tunity to under°tand tY~e pr~gram and provlde input tc prevant frustrati.ons. He
noted thai;, realizi.ng how long it had taken the Planning Coaw~lssi.on i;o understand the pr~oeed-
ings , he fel~t that i;Yie oitizoris wight requiro e~ littlo longor and that , in his opinion , the
five weeks left beforo the final publia he~ring was not enough time, even for a simpler projeot
than redevelapment.
Commissioner King indioat.od that he felt the people should probably be able 1;o vote on the
pro~eot at ttie polls. Commisstoner Iierbst added that if. tho program was initiated by City
government it oould ohange with the whims and desires uf the oleated offiaials; howevor, if
the people voted for it to be a oertsin way it would probably be e~ more stable pro~eat.
Commissioner Tolar questioned where the i•~development funds would bo spent end indioated the~t
i;he Planning Commi~sion had been very expliait in their past eotians to limit Beta to providiiig
transportetion oorridor9 only. Thereupon, Mr. Fernald indioated that the Redevelopmont Agency
aooepted oomplete resporisibil~~y to look at the pro;jeot area and arrive at a schedule of items
to be inuluded.
The Plannin~ Commission ooncurred lii a clarifioation of their past aotions rdge~rding Beta, th~t
they intended to furthor support Alpha by approving Beta to provide transportation oorridors
only; er.d that they were not in agreeu~ent with the time Lable being pre3ented with respeat to
Beta at this timo.
Mr. Slaughter exp].ained that tne Pro~eot Area Committee oould not be formed withou~ a
prelimint~ry plan defining the pro~oot aree, whioh ~as the metter bofore the Commi~sion at thia
time; end that if the mei;ter was a b~sllot issue, the entire City oi' Anahadn would be voting on
it when the daoision rightfully belonged with the people in the pro;}eot area only.
