ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - November 1, 1977 - 1:00 P.M.
and further recommended that the Executive Director be authorized to
sign the rental agreements for lease of space in the shopping center.
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.

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.

161: SQR STORE - GOODWILL APPRAISAL REQUEST Mr. Dan Holden,
Attorney, 300 South Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim, representing SQR,
spoke to the evaluation of goodwill. He advised that they believe
the law requires that an appraisal be made of goodwill and following
a brief summary of past discussions with Agency staff, he requested
consideration be given to the goodwill appraisal of the SQR Store.

Project Area Committee at their meeting of October 25, 1977, expres-
