tion of the most appropriate financing mechanism, determination of the
entity to own and operate the structure,and to negotiate terms and
conditions of use with lessees, i.e., Village Center Associates, Chamber
of Commerce, Mazza Properties, E1 Camino Bank Building and the Senior
Citizens Center.
Mr. Priest further reported that proposals for all five parcels under
consideration had been received from Mazza Properties, Inc., and staff
meetings were currently under way with that corporation to determine
whether or not a viable development proposal could be coordinated for
Parcels 4c, d and 3. He noted that the existing E1 Camino Bank Building
was under proposal for restoration. The Chamber of Commerce proposal
was to construct a facility for their use, and the Village Center Asso-
ciates, a group comprised of local business people, was projecting a
commercial office facility with restaurant and auxiliary uses.
In addition, Mr. Priest advised that Weiner, Jacobs and Harrison, owners
of individual lots within Parcel 4b, had presented a development proposal
which was not favorably acted upon by the Community Redevelopment Commis-
sion, and he noted that all those who had submitted proposals were present
in the Council Chambers, with the exception of Mazza Properties,
Chairman Seymour asked if any Agency Member or any interested party
wished to be heard.
Mr, Floyd L. Farano, Attorney.representing the Chamber of Commerce and
also Mr. Obie Moore, addressed the Agency advising that they had dis-
cussed certain issues with Mrs. Weiner, and she had contacted him this
date requesting additional time to consider various aspects of the pro-
posed Chamber of Commerce development.
Mrs. Weiner came forward to state that she had been in touch with both
Mr. Farano and Mr. Priest, and she confirmed that her family needed
additional time to explore and study options available to them in connec-
tion with the development of Parcel 4b.
Brief discussion was held, and Chairman Seymour pointed out that the
Chamber of Commerce represented the City's business community at large.
He noted that a number of business people had exhibited faith in the
Redevelopment program and had weathered the transition period for some
years; and he expressed his pleasure that several small businesses were
involved in the project under discussion.
Mr. Seymour thereupon moved that a 90-day Exclusive Right to Negotiate
Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and Village Center Associates
