Flocken, President of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, read a resolution unanimously adopted by the Chamber's Board of Directors on July 8, 1976 (copies furnished each Agency Member).

Also called for in the reso- lu is an acceleration of those projects which are currently under way. He advised that the Chamber of Commerce desires to cooperate and looks to the Redevelopment Agency for dynamic leader- ship. Mr. Seymour expressed appreciation for the concern evidenced by the Chamber of Commerce, and he empathized with the frustrations which members might feel as a result of the redirection of the redevelopment effort. He called attention to the action just taken to establish a schedule for public hearings to receive all possible . input prior to implementation of the redirection, and stated that the Agency encourages the participation and cooperation of all Chamber of Commerce members arfl other interested parties. Relative to existing projects, Mr. Seymour further advised that the Steering Committee met on July 7, 1976, with representatives of the proposed Village Center Project, who indicated the redirection of the redevelopment effort favored early commencement of that project and rendered it more economically viable and financially successful. He stated he would be glad to meet any time with rep- resentatives from the Chamber of Commerce to exchange views and ideas. Mr. Roth expressed concern relative to the time schedule, being of the opinion that redevelopment progress would be delayed. He noted comments made to him by merchants in the downtown redeve- lopment area and suggested that the Chamber of Commerce work with merchants and business people to reassure and advise them that they are involved in the redevelopment of the downtown area and are deeply concerned for its future. Mr. Flocken pointed out that the Chamber members have ideas about redevelopment and are anxious to discuss the matter with people in the downtown area and to give their views at the meet- ings. Mr. Seymour stated that he felt it was more the responsibility of the Redevelopment Agency to contact existing businesses and residents in the redevelopment area. No action was taken on the resolution submitted by the Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Fernald advised that copies of the Redevelopment Agency Steering Committee report dated July 13, 1976, had been distributed to Commission Members, having been submitted to and approved by the Agency at its regular meeting held July 13, 1976. He summarized the discussion and action taken by the Agency to accept the report and approve the tentative schedule for the process of holding public hearings to establish a consensus Redevelopment Plan amendment prior to amending the General Plan and theRedevelopment Plan in accordance with the redirection of Redevelopment Agency policies. The target date for completion of the Redevelopment: Plan Amendment is August 11, 1976, and the purpose of this meeting was to determine the kinds of meetings desired and a thirty -day schedule for the dates, times and location where they will take place, and a method for notifica- tion of such meetings to the public. 75 -25 Anaheim Redevelopment Agency Adjourned Regular Meeting, July 14, 1976 Commissioner Fry was of the opinion that meetings should be held at least twice each week, due to the tight schedule established and he suggested the Management Control Center as a central loca- tion for the meetings. Chairman Morris noted that the Project Area Committee (P.A.C.) and the City Planning Commission should also participate in the public meetings. Mr. Gerald Bushore, Vice Chairman of the P.A.C., reported that the Committee would be holding a special meeting Tuesday, July 20, 1976, and the next regular meeting would be held July 27, 1976.

Mr. Fernald requested direction regarding methods of public notification. Commissioner Moss requested that any letters of notification be positively worded so as to get the largest possible number of people involved. Mr. Seymour requested that the P.A.C..representatives advise the Agency as to what degree of assistance they can give in getting the word to the people. Mr. Bushore suggested forwarding a certified letter to property owners in the redevelopment area, and perhaps a regular subsequent mailing summarizing the action taken. Mrs. Jane Cook suggested that the initial letter detail what components for the Amended Redevelopment Plan must be adopted in thirty days, and which components are amenable to subsequent alter- ation, in order to avoid confusion. At the conclusion of discussion as to possible means of public notification, Mr. Thom stated that the purpose of the'Redevelopment Agency Members meeting with the Community Redevelopment Commission today was to insure that the timetable adopted by the Agency was recognized by the Commission as workable; and having accomplished that goal, he entertained a motion to adjourn the Adjourned Regular Redevelopment Agency meeting.
