161/121: CONDEMNATION HEARING - 411 EAST LINCOLN AVENUE: To consider the
acquisition of property generally located at 411 East Lincoln Avenue (William
Monroe).
The record contains copies of the Redevelopment Plan and the Agency Members
had the benefit of all the testimony previously taken at public hearings in
connection with the adoption of that Plan.
Chairman Roth asked if anyone wished to speak to the proposed acquisition.
Mr. Bill Monroe, proprietor, H.R. Fox, 1655 South Euclid Avenue,
Anaheim, present business address. He knew redevelopment was
going to happen and that there was going to be a monetary loss
involved. When business began to suffer, he felt it was only a
matter of calling on Redevelopment to work something out since
they had been in business in downtown Anaheim for many years. ww *
He did not anticipate any difficulty. Subsequently the streets
to the east and west of his business were blocked off. His
business did suffer. He called the Agency and indicated they
were ready to move but he was told he had to wait. His business
again dropped. He wrote a letter to the Agency explaining the
situation but nothing happened. He had to close the sales
portion of his business and lay off employees. He lost about 85
percent of his total business and 80 percent of the profits.
The people who came out to appraise his property were very good,
qualified and fair. He agreed with them and accepted what they
recommended. They represented the Agency in a very
business -like manner. Within the Agency itself, however, he
felt there was no concern for human beings. The people had to
be considered, their businesses and lives. The situation could
have been different if he and the Agency could have gotten
closer together in the beginning. He thought that Port and
Flors was going to help him find a new location and help him
move. He does not think the average merchant downtown has any
idea what the Agency is supposed to do and not do. He does not
either. They finally moved and his business now is about the
same as before he moved after the loss. He still has about 15
percent of his business left and within a year it will probably
be up a little more, but he now has a higher overhead factor.
He pays much more rent. His former location was ideal with low

overhead and high volume. The situation has changed his life
style completely. He also explained the difficulty in obtaining
insurance for employees, when fewer employees are involved.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, Chairman Roth closed the
hearing.
Jack White, City Attorney, explained for the Chairman that the action being
proposed would not preclude additional discussions with Mr. Monroe about good
will. He would anticipate some rather lengthy discussions regarding the
acquisition before the matter ever reaches Court, if it ever did.
Agency Member Pickler offered Resolution No. ARA86 -19 for adoption. Refer to
Resolution Book.
RESOLUTION NO. ARA86 -19: A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY

PROJECT AREA. (Authorizing the law firm of Oliver, Stoever & Laskin to
