Deputy City Attorney M. E. Slaughter briefly reviewed modifications to the proposed contract with Pepsico noting that it had been retyped into city contract form. Copies of said contract with modifications were distributed to Agency Members prior to the meeting. In reply to questions by Mrs. Kaywood, Mr. Priest indicated that he would confer with the contractor and the Parks, Recreation and the Arts Department relative to disposition of sod and underground sprinklers and the use of energy conservation lighting. Mr. Roth commented that although he realized the Agency had a commit- ment to the downtown businesses affected by redevelopment, he just did not feel comfortable expending nearly one -half million dollars for just eight businesses and expressed concern with the financial capabilities of those businesses to meet the rental payments in the redeveloped area in two years. Mr. Thom commented that a commitment was made to these particular merchants of the downtown area some time ago and that the Agency should live up to that commitment. He added that although there is no guarantee that they will return to the downtown area, the merchants have indicated their intentions and have been advocates and proponents of the redevelopment effort. He, therefore, offered Resolution No. ARA77 -84 authorizing a contract with Pepsico Building Systems, Inc. RESOLU N O. ARA77 -84 A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT OF A CONTRACT FOR LEASE (PEPSICO BUILDING SYSTEMS, AGENCY APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MODULAR UNITS AND PREPARATION OF SITE. INC.) Before a vote was taken, Mr. Seymour further added that he shared Mr. Roth's concern, indicating that there was no way this temporary shopping center could justify itself from an economic standpoint. However, he felt that so long as legally prepared rental agreements exist with the merchants indicating their intentions to move into the mini -mall and back into the redeveloped downtown area, he was prepared to meet the moral commitment. 77 -124 ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - November 1, 1977 - 1 :00 P.M. Mrs. Kaywood pointed out that one of the major criticisms of other redevelopment projects was that they came in and ran everyone out of town, and she did not want to see that approach taken in Anaheim. She felt these downtown merchants would return to the redeveloped area in two years given assistance and incentive. A vote was taken on the foregoing Resolution No. ARA77 -84 offered by Mr. Thom.
