ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - March 7, 1978, 1:00 P.M.
Mr. Priest related that the Community Development staff reviewed the
project and determined that it would have a significant influence on
the Redevelopment Project. He also commented that the Community Re-
development Commission reviewed the proposal and recommends Agency
approval with comments by Commissioner Fry that there is probably
no more important improvements of benefit to the Redevelopment Alpha
Project than the Pearson Park Pool reconstruction. With respect to
the requested $175,000 loan, Mr. Priest advised that the Commission
recommends this be taken under consideration in early summer, pending
the outcome of the Jarvis Initiative on the June ballot.
MOTION: On motion by Mrs. Kaywood, seconded by Mr. Kott, the Anaheim
Redevelopment Agency authorized the expenditure of $100,000 for recon-
struction of the Pearson Park Pool and directed staff to prepare the
appropriate documents.
Prior to voting on the foregoing motion, Mr. Seymour stated that it is
his understanding, reviewing the funding situation for the new pool,
that the County has verbally promised certain funds totalling between
$210,000 and $230,000 towards completion of this project. Since
these would be an important part of the funding program for the entire
pool, he inquired whether there would be any objection on the part of
fellow Members to making the Agency's participation subject to finali-
zation of the County funding portion.
In this connection, Mr. Ruth stated that the County has approved
$180,000 total in two grants and they are currently in the process of
preparing the necessary agreements. He indicated that his department
would have no problem with the Agency granting approval contingent
upon the County funds.
In further response to Mr. Seymour, Mr. Ruth explained that the
$175,000 loan was requested to expedite the pool reconstruction
program, recognizing that the Parks, Recreation and Arts Department
would repay this out of Park and Recreation in -lieu fees. This
amount will be budgeted from the in -lieu fees in any case.
With permission of Agency Members Kaywood and Kott, Mr. Seymour re-
quested that the foregoing motion be amended to include that the expen-
diture of $100,000 for the Pearson Park Pool reconstruction by the
Agency would be contingent upon finalization of the County funds.
Chairman Thom called for a vote on the foregoing motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
