RA1996/07/09ANAHEIM CIVIC CENTER, ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY JULY 9, 1996 PRESENT: ABSENT: PRESENT: AGENCY MEMBERS: Tom Tait, Bob Zemel, Frank Feldhaus, Lou Lopez, Tom Daly AGENCY MEMBERS: None ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER: Dave Morgan CITY ATTORNEY: Jack White SECRETARY: Leonora N. Sohl EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: Lisa Stipkovich A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency was posted at 12:33 p.m. on July 5, 1996 at the Civic Center Kiosk, containing all items as shown herein. Chairman Daly called the regular meeting of the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency to order at 6:15 p.m. FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY in the amount of $49, 628.88 for the period ending July 1, 1996 and $376,455.92 for the period ending July 8, 1996, in accordance with the 1996-97 Budget, were approved. ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: There were no additions to agenda items. ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST: Jeff Kirsch, 2661 W. Palais, Anaheim. He is speaking at this time relative to Item A13. on the Council Agenda (FY1995/96 write-off of uncollectible Miscellaneous and Paramedics Accounts Receivable) only as it may relate to the Community Development Department. He notes one account, Waltz & Waltz ($271.80), the same organization he believes is currently involved in a Redevelopment funded project to rehabilitate the Gdmshaw House. It seems inconsistent to him, if it is the same company, that they should be receiving taxpayer money in the form of Redevelopment loans and then to have an uncollectible amount owing the City. Bill Sweeney, Finance Director. He first clarified for the Chairman that nothing would preclude collecting those funds in the future. Wdting off uncollectible amounts is an accounting transaction done at the end of each fiscal year according to generally accepted accounting principles. However, the amounts are not forgiven and staff is not recommending that be done but just clarifying the amounts as uncollectible at this time. Chairman Daly. Perhaps staff could report back to the Redevelopment Agency the status of the funds owed by Waltz & Waltz and make a recommendation to the Agency.
