REPORT - FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
Demands against the Redevelopment Agency and the Housing Authority, in
the amounts of $21,886.99 and $1,664.25 respectively, in accordance
with the 1975 -76 Budget, were approved.
I. ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY The following matter was considered
by the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency:
ORANGE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AGREEMENT Chairman Thom briefly sum-
marized the discussion held on October 7, 1975, pertaining to the
proposed agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and the Orange
Unified School District for the construction of an elementary school
in the Project Alpha area, and the tie vote to the proposed resolution
authorizing the execution of such an agreement. He noted that concern
had been expressed that a "Butler Building" was proposed to be utilized
for the facility which would indicate an all -metal structure. Further,
that there was an apparent discrepancy in the site plan and the grading
plan presented. He pointed out that in accordance with the terms of the
proposed agreement, no money would be expended to the School District
without approval by the Redevelopment Agency of the various plans
for the facility and, therefore, the Agency would retain control.
Community Development Director Knowlton Fernald advised that
because the School District had an abbreviated schedule, they anti-
cipated submitting for approval several drawings rather than one, the
first one having been the site plan illustrating the general location
of buildings, circulation, access and parking on the property, which
he had recommended for approval on October 7, 1975, recognizing that
the grading plan would be more precise and would be subsequently
submitted for approval by the Agency. He inquired of the City Attorney
whether the proposed drawings of the various elements of the facility
would have to be approved prior to the disbursement of any funds.
Chairman Thom called attention
the proposed agreement., indicating
of $190,000 each would be payable o
contract for the grading; the seco
120th day following the award of th
the third payment would be payable
by the School Board.
to Sections 201, 202 and 203 of
that the first of three payments
n the 60th day following award of
nd payment would be payable on the
e contract for construction; and
within 14 days of final acceptance
In response to question by Mr. Fernald, City Attorney Alan Watts
cnnrl,rred that the plan was the only drawing which would have to be
approved prior to the first disbursement of funds according to the
proposed agreement.

Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, Continued
Chairman Thom called attention to a letter dated October 13, 1975,
from the Rancho Yorba Homeowners Association, expressing concern as to
the tvAe of construction to be employed in the proposed school facility.
At the invitation of Chairman Thom, Mr. Rudolph Landa, representing
LeRoy Rose & Associates, Architects, addressed the Commission advising
that the structural system proposed was designated as a space grid type,
which was a steel truss system with prefabricated steel columns im-
bedded in permanent foundations. The classrooms would have standard
9 -foot ceilings, with a 13 foot ceiling in the learning center. This .•.,
is a permanent type of structure, not to-- relocated nor demounted.
The building would be covered with exterior`plaster with -a redwood
facia and a stone veneer wall placed next to the aluminum framed,
double = glass - doors at the front entrance. The 30,000 square -foot-
building would be carpeted throughout.
In response to question by Commissioner Kaywood, Mr. Landa stated
he was unaware of any schools of similar construction in the Orange
Unified School District, however, 2 high schools had been constructed
approximately 13 years ago in the City of La Puente. He advised that
the completed structure would be compatible with surrounding residen-
tial development in the area.
Mr. Landa displayed a colored rendering of the building elevation
and described how some of the interior walls would be adjustable to
suit the individual functions. He concurred with a remark by Commis-
sioner Seymour that the so- called "Butler Building" would be comprised
of a skeletal structure around which the facility is constructed.
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether the School District was
contemplating use of this type of construction for any other planned
facilities.
Mr. Harry Platt, representing the Orange Unified School District,
briefly noted the history and success in California of the structural
method proposed: and advised that approximately four manufacturers in
the United States currently were involved in this type of construc-
tion. Orange Unified School District used a tilt -up steel wall
construction for the Canyon High School,and he was of the opinion
that the evolution of school planning in the district would probably
be oriented toward the modular type of facility proposed.
Mr. Fernald advised that the purpose of using this type of
construction was to improve the cost effectiveness and timing for
constructing school facilities, and he noted that a large number of
schools across the country have been constructed in this manner.
The system involved the application of systems and manufacturing
techniques to the construction of facilities on the site, and
simplifying the structure and mechanical systems while allowing
flexibility for the utilization of space within the structure.
Responding to question by Commissioner Sneegas, Mr. Landa
reported that the air conditioning equipment would be mounted on
the roof of the building with screening provided, the design for
which would be submitted to the Planning Department for approval.
The City Attorney pointed out that the proposed agreement
provides that prior to approval of the plans by the School District,
including grading plans, building plans, etc., said plans must be �*
submitted to the Redevelopment Agency for review. Noting there is
a substantial difference between reviewing and approving the plans,
he suggested that if, in fact, the Agency desires to approve the
plans as distinguished from reviewing them and submitting comments
to the School Board for consideration, then review of the plans in
total prior to disbursement of any monies should be discussed.
Mr. Jim Barisic, Vice President, Anaheim Hills, Inc., requested
permission to address the Council and advised that in the area of
their developments, sites had been earmarked for Orange Unified
School District facilities. They did not wish to become involved

Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, Continued
in space planning or structural design, however, it was his company's
primary concern that this and other future schools in the area be
architecturally compatible. He related that Mr. Rose, the Architect
for the proposed facility, had explained to their satisfaction their
meaning of the term "Butler Building ". It was his opinion that there
should be a review of specific renderings of all elevations for the
structure and of materials and color codes to be utilized.
Commissioner Seymour inquired whether a listing of specifications
was available.
Mr. Landa advised that the specifications would be developed in
increments, and stated he would be able to submit a realistic drawing
of the elevations and an outline of materials to be used within one
week.
Commissioner Seymour expressed the opinion that the concern
indicated by Anaheim Hills, Inc., and the Rancho Yorba Homeowners
Association, and Commissioner Kaywood's concern pertaining to the
architectural aesthetic values should be.answered, rather than
amending the proposed agreement, and if these basic assurances could
be provided in the manner suggested by the Architect, he would be
prepared to act favorably on the proposed agreement.
Commissioner Seymour thereupon moved that action on the proposed
agreement be continued two weeks (October 28, 1975, 1:00 P.M.) to
allow a rendering of exterior elevations and an outline of materials
to be utilized in the structure to be submitted to the Planning and
Community Development Departments for reports and recommendations,
to include plans for shielding any roof - mounted equipment. Commis-
sioner Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
II. ANAHEIM HOUSING AUTHORITY The following matter was considered
by the Anaheim Housing Authority:
