URBAN DESIGN PLAN AND REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM CONSULTANT CONTRACTS:
Mr. Fernald reported that four contracts have been recommended by
the Redevelopment Commission for approval by the Agency as follows:
1. Wallace, McHarg, Roberts and Todd - Architects and
Urban Planners.
2. Marshall Kaplan, Gans and Kahn - Community Analysis
Consultants for Social Planning.
3. Wilbur Smith & Associates - Transportation and
Parking Analysis.
4. Larry Smith & Company, Inc. - Economists.
Mr. Fernald advised that although four separate contracts
are presented, this planning is basically projected with a team
approach. Each contract is interrelated by means of a joint time
schedule which lists all tasks to be performed by each Consultant
and those which they will perform together, as well as the time
frame within which these are to be completed. Emphasis has been
placed on an early completion of the planning job, by performing
tasks concurrently rather than sequentially, with completion of
the planning in six months, plus the time needed to complete
presentation materials.
Tc insure that information is disseminated to those
involved as quickly as possible, weekly progress meetings will be
held and immediately afterwards meeting notes will be mailed

together with a tentative agenda for the following week's meeting.
One other innovation introduced into this process is the immediate
involvement of developers and their design consultants so that at
the end of the six month period a development plan will have been
evolved which has very good implementation possibilities.
The work to be performed pursuant to these contracts has
been divided into four basic categories and the following not to
exceed sums allocated for each category: basic tasks - $112,500;
supplementary tasks - $48,000; presentation material - $25,000;
continuing consulting - $15,000, with a total overall amount of
$200,500. Payment to the consultants under the contracts will be
based on monthly billings for reimbursement of time and costs
incurred.
These contracts do include stipulations that the key
people in these firms who were originally interviewed will be
heavily involved in the work and will participate in weekly meetings
and presentations.
During discussion which ensued, Mr. Fernald replied in
answer to Mr. Seymour that the item listed on the time schedule as
"Action Area Identification" relates to those areas involved in
directing the program once information has been assembled and
problem areas identified.
Also in reply to Mr. Seymour, Mr. Fernald briefly
explained the type of data to be developed out of Step No. 4
"Economic Evaluation and Concepts ".
Mr. Seymour remarked that in his opinion when the
presentation materials are prepared, a portion of these should
outline and reflect the projected economic impact of redevelopment,
i.e., the effect of additional retail sales dollars and additional
jobs and what these would mean to the citizens of Anaheim. He
felt economic justification for the Redevelopment Program must be
demonstrated to those citizens not living in or near the affected
I area.
Mr. Fernald agreed with this comment and advised that
although this is not specified in the contract it should be
included under supplementary tasks.
City Attorney Watts advised that according to these
contracts and staff report, the Redevelopment Director will decide
when and whether or not to utilize the supplementary tasks. He
inquired whether this was within the Agency's intent or whether
they wished to retain that decision making ability.
The Agency Members indicated, by general consent, that
they would prefer the Redevelopment Director to retain that latitude.

contracts with Urban Design Plan Consultants Wallace, McHarg,
