I. ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY: The following matters were considered by the
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency:
FEASIBILITY AND TECHNICAL STUDY, PROPOSED LAKE - DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT:
Memorandum report dated November 4, 1975, from the Community Development
Director was submitted together with proposals from the Harvey Mudd College
dated October 28, 1975 (copies furnished each Commissioner).
Community Development Director Knowlton Fernald reported on recommendation
by the Community Redevelopment Commission that a study of the feasibility of a
proposed lake in the future downtown development be authorized, to include lake
design, water uses and appropriate technology and problems associated with the
proposed lake. The Commission recommended that the Harvey Mudd College,
Engineer Clinic, be employed to conduct the study in accordance with their
proposal entitled "Urban Lake Design ", in the amount of $9,600, to be completed
by June, 1976; further that the staff be directed to prepare a contract with
the College for that purpose.
In reply to questions by Commissioner Thom, Mr. Fernald stated in his
opinion, the fee quoted for the study would be a significant savings as
compared to a different type of contract with an engineering firm. He had
reviewed work by the College and was of the opinion they do an excellent job
for a reasonable fee.
Mr. Dan D'Urso, Interim Assistant Director - Redevelopment, advised that
the firm had done some preliminary work on the project such as conducting
discussions with Orange County Water District representatives, and City Water
Division and other staff members.
RESOLUTION NO. CDC75 -46: Commissioner Sneegas offered Resolution No. CDC75 -46
for adoption, authorizing the employment of Harvey Mudd College Engineering
Clinic to conduct a study to determine lake design, water uses and appropriate
technology and problems for a proposed lake in conjunction with the development
of the downtown area, at a fee of $9,600.

PROPOSED AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES BY HOUSING AUTHORITY A14D TRANSFER OF FUNDS:
Mr. Fernald referred to previous request for transfer of Redevelopment funds to
the Housing Authority, which was deferred pending further investigation as to
the legalities involved. As a result of working together with the City
Attorney's Office, a proposed cooperative agreement between the Redevelopment
Agency and the Housing Authority was prepared for provision of services by the
Housing Authority (copies furnished each Commissioner). It was Mr. Fernald's
recommendation that the proposed agreement be approved, and transfer of funds
authorized in the amount of $19,416.
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether any provision had been made for a
detailed accounting as to the use of the requested funds.
Mr. Fernald advised that at the time the Housing Authority Budget was
adopted, there was an evident deficient of $19,500 and it was recognized at
that time that in order to have the application for HUD funds accepted, it
would be necessary for the City or the Redevelopment Agency to make up the
difference. He pointed out that basically, the transfer of funds was related
to the fact that the Agency would receive the services as indicated in the pro -
posed agreement. Since that time, the grant had been received from HUD.
At the invitation of Chairman Thom, Mr. Ben Bay, 2148 West Grayson Avenue,
Anaheim, addressed the Redevelopment Agency noting that at the time the issue
was discussed by the Community Redevelopment Commission, the matter of a
detailed accounting to the Redevelopment Commission or the Redevelopment Agency
of these funds was discussed at length. He was of the opinion, from an ethical
standpoint, that there should be clear cut provisions to insure a detailed
accounting by the end of the year, indicating exactly how this amount has been
expended, which would justify the transfer from redevelopment funds.
Commissioner Thom saw no reason why such a provision could not be
emphasized by inclusion in an action taken to authorize the agreement and
transfer of funds. He noted that as Arthur Young & Company complete their
audit of Financial and Management Practices within the City, they would in all
probability recommend internal controls for future transactions of this nature.
Mr. Fernald noted that the requested funds were basically to be utilized
for overhead expenses such as salaries and operating costs, and the proposed
contract provides for services to the Redevelopment Agency by the Housing
Authority staff. The contract also covers use of grant funds for Housing
Assistance payments in cases of relocation. He advised that there were two
sources of funds which would be utilized to assist the redevelopment process,
i.e., relocation funds to assist the Redevelopment Agency in the relocation
process, and assistance being provided by the Housing Authority staff. This
would be accounted for and reported to the Redevelopment Agency at a later
date.
Commissioner Sneegas called attention to Section 3 of the proposed
agreement, compensation and method of payment, being of the opinion that the
accounting was provided for, if the contract was fulfilled.
RESOLUTION NO. CDC75 -47: On the recommendations of the Community Development
Director, Commissioner Kaywood offered Resolution No. CDC75 -47 for adoption,
approving the proposed agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and the
Housing Authority, to include a provision for the submission of an itemized
accounting of the $19,416, and directing the staff to prepare the necessary
documents for execution by the Agency; and further, upon execution of the
agreement, that the Treasurer be directed to transfer the funds to the Housing
Authority in accordance with provisions of the agreement.
