PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE (PAC) - GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING MEMBERS:
Redevelopment Director Knowlton Fernald offered to answer any
questions by the City Redevelopment Agency relative to his
staff report submitted April 1, 1975, pertaining to Guidelines
for Selecting Members of the Project Area Committee (PAC).
A typoggaplUtaL error was observed by Mrs. Kaywood on
page 4 of the report, Section E, "Removal from Office ", last
line in the second paragraph. On the recommendations of the
City Attorney, the word "of" was deleted in favor of the words
"and /or ", to provide that a replacement member shall be a
representative of the same interest group as the former mem-
ber, i.e. the Central City area and /or the northeast industrial
area.
Mr. Fernald noted it was the intent that the terms of
office on the committee be limited to one two -year term to
provide changes in the membership.
Mr. Seymour moved that the guideline procedure be approved
as recommended. Mrs. Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED.
ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH FACILITY PROPOSAL - WILLIAM BRASHEARS
DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION: Mr. Fernald read his staff report
just received by members of the Redevelopment Agency,
recommending that the proposal dated February 24, 1975,
submitted to the County of Orange for the County Health
Department building, be withdrawn; that the Agency approve an
Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement with Dr. William Bra -
shears for the purpose of locating the Health Department
facility near the corner of Anaheim Boulevard and Chartres
Street (Exhibit "A" attached to the proposed agreement); and
that the Agency approve in concept that the same terms orig-
inally offered to the County regarding the site and parking
cost be extended to Brashears in conjunction with his pro-
posal.
Responding to questions by Mr. Seymour, Mr. Fernald
reported that the vacant, privately owned parcel located at
the northeast corner of Anaheim Boulevard and Broadway,
previously considered for the facility, was insufficient for
the structure; therefore, it would be necessary to acquire
additional property if this site were selected. The parcel
owned by the City, depicted on Exhibit "A" and located on
the north side of Chartres Street west of Anaheim Boulevard,
contains 42,000 square feet, and is presently developed with
the building housing the Parks Division of the Racks, Recre-
ation and the Arts Department and a parking lot. The adjacent
property, fronting on Anaheim Boulevard, is available for
purchase, however, it may take ninety days or more for
acquisition. Paragraph "H" of the proposed option agreement
contains terminology which provides that by mutual consent
of the parties, the site can be transferred to another loca-
tion within the Project Alpha area.
Mr. Seymour stated that when the previous proposal for
the health facility came before the Redevelopment Agency, he
voted against it due to the fact that the property would be
removed from the tax rolls, and sufficient information was
not available pertaining to the economic impact of the pro-
posed facility on the community. He indicated he was in
favor of this new proposal, based on the economic research
which has been done, and the proposed construction and lease
of the facility by private enterprise, thereby keeping the
property on the tax rolls. In his opinion, however, the
75 -26
Redevelopment Agency, April 8, 1975, Continued:
proposal to the County should include more than one site.
Chairman Thom pointed out that the Cities of Garden
Grove and Santa Ana were attempting to attain the health
department facility in their cities, and he felt that the
best possible proposal should be submitted to the County.
He noted the catalytic effect the facility would have on the
redevelopment of the downtown area.
Mr. Fernald advised that the possible sites for the
development were narrowed down to the one City -owned parcel
because it can be acquired within ninety days which seemed
of importance to the County. He pointed out that alternate
sites could be discussed at the hearing before the County
Board of Supervisors, and could be emphasized in the letter
requesting withdrawal of the former proposal.
(Mr. Pebley entered the Council Chamber, 1:20 P.M.)
Mr. Seymour moved that the Agency proposal to the County
dated February 24, 1975, for the County Health Department
building be withdrawn. Mrs. Kaywood seconded the motion.
