PRESENT: ABSENT: PRESENT: INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT MEMBERS: Kaywood, Pickler, Overholt, Bay and Roth INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT MEMBERS: None CITY MANAGER: William O. Talley CITY ATTORNEY: William P. Hopkins SECRETARY: Linda D. Roberts EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Norman J. Priest Chairman Roth called the special meeting of the Industrial Development Authority of Anaheim to order at 12:55 p.m. MINUTES: Authority Member Roth moved to approve the minutes of the Industrial Development Authority meeting of September 22, 1981. Authority Member Overholt seconded the motion. Authority Member Bay abstained because he was not present at that meeting. Authority Member Pickler abstained because he was not an Authority Member at that time. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Norman Priest, Executive Director of Community Development, briefed the Council on his report dated July 13, 1982, recommending that the Industrial Development Authority, by resolution, decline to accept for further processing the application for financing from Ryder Truck Lines, Inc. The Chairman asked to hear from the applicant. Mr. John Mangu, Vice President, Properties and Real Estate, Ryder Truck Lines, first referred to Page 8, Paragraph Number 4, of the application for financing, and stated that instead of the $1,500,000, it should have been $2.5 million, since they did not anticipate a decrease in revenue, but an increase. Further, the number of employees indicated, 23, was conservative. He then elaborated upon the purpose of the application and in concluding, stated that approval would not obligate the City in any way, or limit any of the City's bonding of other functions. It was lending the City's name so that they would be able to proceed with a capital expenditure and hopefully increase the number of jobs in Anaheim, as well as construction opportunities. He urged that they not concern themselves with the fact that perhaps the State would turn them down later, since that was not pertinent at this time. He then answered questions posed by the Authority. Before proceeding, Authority Member Overholt explained that on occasion, he had represented Gerald Bushore, who was in the Chambers audience, as his attorney, but he was no longer his attorney and wanted to vote on the issue. City Attorney William Hopkins stated if he (0verholt) had a financial inter~st in the matter, he would be prevented from participating; Authority Member Overholt stated he had not had, nor would have any conflict, and thus, would participate. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF ANAHEIM ~uly 20, 1982, 12:30 P.M. Authority Member Bay stated it was his hope that the use of Industrial Revenue Bonds in the City would commence with a case where there was absolutely no question of the public benefit from the use of those bonds. This one, in his opinion, and also in staff's opinion, was not strongly oriented toward the public good in his interpretation for the use of Industrial Revenue Bonds. He wanted to see a very definitive public good before voting "yes" on the first subject application, and this was not strong enough for his "yes" vote at this time. Authority Member Bay moved to decline to accept for further processing, the application for financing from Ryder Truck Lines, Inc. Before action was taken, Authority Member Overholt stated he agreed with Authority Member Bay. He did not think the particular project qualified for the kind of relief requested. Authority Member Kaywood seconded the foregoing motion to deny.
