A complete copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim Redevelopment
Agency was posted at 1:50 p.m. on July 16, 1993 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 5:45 p.m.
FINANCIAL DEMANDS AGAINST THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY in the amount of
$340,144.25 for the period ending July 16, 1993, in accordance with the
1992-93 Budget, were approved.
ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST:
Don Floriani, Chez Grand'mere (Child Care Center). He is speaking as a
businessman in Anaheim. A few years ago, there was a redevelopment plan to
create a downtown school for the care of children. Redevelopment funds were
allocated to enhance the old train station to house the center. Two years ago
the Parks and Recreation Department went out for bids and their school was one
of the bidders. The Central Orange County YWCA was the successful bidder but
subsequently was unable to live up to their obligations. A few months ago,
the Parks and Recreation Department again went out for bids and they again bid
the project. He understands these are two other bidders - one was the non-
profit Anaheim Family YMCA and another private preschool institution. They
were notified that the Anaheim Family YMCA was going to be the successful
bidder. The statement they heard was that they were not as good as the
Anaheim YMCA in operating child care in the City. He then referred to a
letter which he had previously submitted to the Council and also faxed a copy
to Chris Jarvi, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services and Mark
Deven, Recreation Superintendent wherein he made several points regarding the
YMCA especially that they have no history of operating infant or toddler care.
They have had no success and the one attempt ended in failure. He got a copy
of the proposal submitted by the "Y" but not the evaluation sheets. He was
told the evaluation sheets were confidential and he was not entitled to them.
His suspicion is that they did not exist.
Mayor Daly. He interrupted noting that when Mr. Floriani is finished, he will
ask staff to comment on his statements. He does not know if the City Attorney
will encourage much comment this evening since a recommendation is coming to
the Council next Tuesday on the subject. Mr. Floriani's input is helpful but
he does not know to what extent staff will be able to respond.
Mr. Floriani. His point is - in his letter he has asked that they not approve
the recommendation of staff and on the basis of the facts he has stated.
There are many more items that have come to pass but which he cannot prove.
He does not want to discredit the Anaheim Family YMCA, but is speaking as a
businessman put into competition with a non-profit organization that depends
upon the goodwill of the citizens of the City to operate. It is an
organization that has really no record to go by other than failure and is
being chosen over their organization which he knows to be successful - a
private business funded by himself and friends with 8 years of successful

experience and over 5 years experience with infant and toddler care. They are
also a tax paying organization - the "Y" will not be paying taxes.
Council Member Pickler. He just received the letter yesterday. Staff is
going to be submitting a report. He does not think they should comment
tonight. It will subsequently be on the agenda and at that time, if
Mr. Floriani wants to come back, they can listen to what he has to say. He
suggests that they wait until then to make their comments.
Mr. Floriani confirmed for the Mayor that he has not had a chance to discuss
the matter with staff.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. Although this
is in a redevelopment project area, the selection process has been handled by
Parks and Recreation and Mr. Floriani correctly addressed his letter to
Mr. Jarvi and Mr. Deven. Community Development has been involved in
discussions with Parks and Recreation regarding the selection and she knows
they are working on a staff report and a proposal to bring forward. She does
not believe it will be next Tuesday. Her guess is, it is a few weeks away.
She will make sure the Parks and Recreation Department is aware of all the
comments made and will take those into consideration in the decision making
process.
Chairman Daly. It will be helpful if the City Manager would arrange to have
Mr. Floriani meet with Parks and Recreation staff; Mr. Floriani. He is
available whenever they want to talk.
