discussion under that item).
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS i - 2: On motion by Agency Member Daly, seconded by
Agency Member Feldhaus, the following actions were authorized in accordance
with the reports and recommendations furnished each Agency Member and as
listed on the Consent Calendar Agenda. Agency Member Daly offered Resolution
Nos. ARA95-1 for adoption. Refer to Resolution Book.
1. 123: RESOLUTION NO. ARA95-1: A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY APPROVING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A COOPERATION AND CONTRIBUTION
AGREEMENT FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION WITH THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AND SEVERAL
PROPERTY OWNERS. (Construction of a new traffic signal on La Palma Avenue,
west of Imperial Highway, at the location of the entrance driveways to the
Cinemapolis theaters and the Imperial Promenade shopping center.)
Mr. Charles Cintron spoke on the first Consent Calendar item noting that he
has two Togo's in the Anaheim Hills area. Imperial Highway and La Palma is an
extremely heavily traveled area with many serious accidents. It is only going
to get worse as businesses recover and office space is re-leased on La Palma.
With property owners picking up 75% of the cost of the proposed signal, this
is an effective way for the City to stem injuries at that corner. He is in
support.

PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY:
Publication North County News - 12/27/1994 and 1/3/1995
Published Mitigated Negative Declaration - 12/21/1994
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. She briefed the
subject report which explained the recommendation in detail and in concluding
note that the Agency/Council would be reviewing all bid documents,
construction drawings and concept plans as they did with all Redevelopment
Agency projects. This sets up the relationship between the City and the
Redevelopment Agency and authorizes the Agency to be the entity to both design
and develop the building and also identifies various funding sources that the
City would commit including block grant funds as well as Park and Recreation
fees and any other fees the City would determine through budgetary authority
to put into the project.
Mrs. Stipkovich then commented on a question raised earlier by Council/Agency
Member Feldhaus relative to one of the funding mechanisms being Agency bond
funds and if they would be affected by the situation in the County. The
report does state that the bond funds that Redevelopment will be using are
necessary in order for the project to be completed and whether the bond funds
in the County Pool will still be available. Luckily, there was a larger chunk
of bond funds in a State Pool and in a separate account so they do have
sufficient bond proceeds to cover the proposed amount for the project, the
$3,000,000. Relative to county grant funds, those have not been committed and

the agreement allows if in the future they were to get those funds, they could
be allocated to the project.
Chairman/Mayor Daly. He asked if the action tonight set limits on the size of
the project or any of the funding potentials for the project.
Lisa Stipkovich. It does to the extent they have attached the proposed
phasing plan which they have already approved and the proposed budget for
phase one. To that extent, the money is an upper limit which will be
adequate. If not, they will come back and ask the Agency/City to amend the
co-op agreement. If it is City dollars going into the co-op agreement, it
does allow for some of that to occur just by their budgetary authority. It is
only the expenditure of Redevelopment money that requires the public hearing.
Chairman/Mayor Daly asked the next step in the sequence after this evening's
public hearing if City Council decides to forgo the co-op agreement between
the City and the Agency?
Lisa Stipkovich. The architect is starting the design process. The next step
would be for concept plans to be submitted to the Agency for review along with
the budget. They anticipate bringing the next item forward in approximately
60 days. She also confirmed for Council/Agency Member Lopez that there will
be minimal spectator space to watch basketball games or other events but that
is not yet finalized. After talking with various groups, this could be
modified. There is no final design as yet.
Chairman/Mayor Daly opened the public hearing and asked to hear from anyone
who wished to speak; there being no response he closed the public hearing.
Council Member Feldhaus offered Resolution No. 95R-5 for adoption, approving a
Cooperation Agreement with the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency regarding
development of the Downtown Community Center and making certain environmental
and other findings with respect thereto. Refer to Resolution Book.
