ITEMS OF PUBUC INTEREST:
Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He recently talked with the management at Norm's Restaurant who
told him that Norm's did not seem to be involved in any discussions with the City relative to relocation of
their restaurant due to the impending freeway widening and interchange project. He feels it would be a
shame to lose Norm's which is a popular, tax-producing business in the City.
Chairman Daly. He believes it is fair to say that there have been hundreds of conversations with various
City officials and the owners of Norm's Restaurant.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. The Chairman is correct. Staff has had
numerous discussions with the management of Norm's at the corporate level, not only her department, but
also other departments relalNe to potential sites for relocating the restaurant. The key element is, Norm's
is trying to resolve their differences with Caltrans. The restaurant has looked at many sites in the City but
have not selected any one in a definite way pending the Caltrans resolution of the legal issue involved.
Chairman Daly. If the restaurent is purchased by Caltrans, there are also relocation benefits the restaurant
is eligible for. Staff has made it clear they would like to see the restaurant relocate somewhere in the
vicinity if at all possible because it is a popular place.
