Subject plans were reviewed by the Redevelopment Commission and for-
warded to the Agency for action. Mr. Priest noted that the Commission
did express concern with only one elevator in each building and felt
it would be helpful to have some means of access from one building
to another,but was not sure that it would be economically feasible.
Mr. Priest indicated that proposed plans were posted on the wall in
the Chamber and noted that Mr. Robert Coles, Design Consultant, and
Mr. Christopher Jones, Architect, were present on behalf of Shapell
to answer any questions.

In reply to questions of Agency Members, Mr. Robert Coles noted
that sound attentuation received a lot of attention from the HUD
staff and that patios and windows have an additional glass top
balcony railing to reflect sound and at the same time provide the
visibility desired. As to the modification of plans, he dis-
couraged any substantial design changes as proposals are submitted
to HUD on a competitive basis, HUD is. limited and quite specific
in their selection, and there are limited number of dollars involved.
The developer and HUD are somewhat committed to the proposal as
submitted and he recommended that in the interest of all concerned
the Agency should.stay close to the original submission.
As to the economics of the building relative to the rental schedule
approved by HUD, Mr. Christopher Jones replied that the rent of
$236 per month includes utilities and the necessary amount of money
to make the job operational. He noted that the rents are based on
market limitations by area, as well as guidelines set by HUD. He
commented that at this point, he did not know if any added improve-
ments to the plans would increase the rent or if the market for
this area would permit a rent increase.
Mr. Coles added that, based on his own experiences and attempts
to obtain rent increases for similar projects, he did not feel
that there was a chance nor were there any regulations at the
present time that would permit it. He encouraged the Agency to
work within that amount allocated by HUD and spoke highly of
what the Section 8 Housing Program offers the senior citizens
in the way of decent living and protection against unreasonable *-■►
or unwarranted rental increases.
There being no further questions, Mr. Seymour moved to approve
the preliminary construction drawings for Shapell Government
Housing, Inc. Mrs. Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
DESIGNATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO REVIEW AND APPROVE RELOCA-
TION ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS In an effort to provide relocation
assistance and payments to displacees as quickly as possible and
to protect their confidentiality, Mr. Priest recommended that the
Executive Director be declared designee for reviewing relocation
assistance claims and approving payment of all claims up to $15,000.
The Anaheim Redevelopment Commission has recommended approval.

brought to the Agency for action with a claim number only, a
method devised in order to protect confidentiality of applica-
tions and records as specified by Community Redevelopment Law.

noted that should a new Executive Director ever be appointed and
the Agency so desired, this Resolution could be rescinded.
