CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS I - 3~ On motion by Chairman Daly, seconded by

the reports and recommendations furnished each Agency Member and as listed on
the Consent Calendar Agenda.
161: Approving the schematic drawings, including station design
specifications and landscaping, for the Anaheim Canyon Station, a
Metrolink commuter rail station; and authorizing the Executive Director
to approve the final design development drawings provided they conform
to the schematic drawings.
Chairman Daly. This station will give employees another alternative to
reaching their jobs in Anaheim's North East Industrial Center. It will also
help employers to attract employees. It has been a challenging project and
the City has received a lot of cooperation from Catellus Development.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. She referred to
the rendering displayed in the Chamber noting that a representative from Boyle
Engineering was present to answer any questions. The proposed station is a
start and is designed so that it can be added to later on according to
ridership. She clarified for the Chairman that the objective of having the
station available by April is achievable if they receive favorable bids and
get cooperation from the bidders. If the schedule is maintained, the station
should be opened the end of April, 1996.
Additional questions were then answered by Mrs. Stipkovich and Richard
Bruckner, Redevelopment/Economic Development Manager.

123: Approving the Negotiation Agreement with the North Orange County
ROP, in connection with the relocation of a portion of their facilities,
administrative and classroom functions to downtown Anaheim, within
Project Alpha.
Agency Member Feldhaus. He has some concerns relative to relocating the North
Orange County ROP to downtown Anaheim within Project Alpha. They are trying
to develop the downtown area to have activities both day and night. The
original concept was for a "walk-through" environment and a promenade. If ROP
is to be relocated within the heart of downtown where they are trying to
accomplish such activities, he would have a problem with that, but if the
location is someplace else not in the core area, that would be more acceptable
to him.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. The agreement
just refers to downtown and not necessarily Project Alpha. It is not excluded
but it is not limited to that area. The staff report might say Project Alpha,
but the actual document refers to only downtown Anaheim.
Agency Member Feldhaus. His concern is that the whole purpose of
Redevelopment is to freeze the tax base and get tax increment funding to help
develop and revitalize an area. If they are to bring in another non-tax
paying entity, he feels it stymies the purpose for taking downtown Anaheim in
the first place.
Lisa Stipkovich. This is only permission for the Agency to negotiate.
Anything they would propose to do as a permanent agreement would have to be
brought back to the Agency to see if it is site acceptable before drafting any
further documents.
Agency Member Feldhaus. With that understanding, it would be acceptable.
123: Approving an Agreement with McNamara and Van Blarcom for legal
assistance in dealing with environmental issues and preparing legal
documents for various Comunity Development projects.
End of Consent Calendar. MOTIONS CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Daly moved to adjourn, Agency Member Zemel seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED. (6:05 p.m.)
