clear of all liens and encumbrances. In the event the project does not go through the Agency will not have conveyed the land to Mr. Van . Ingen, and the Agency will have first rights to acquire his parcels. The Agency will, of course, be obligated to give back the $210,000. In addition, as the Agreement spells out, the pedestrian mall is a part of Mr. Van Ingen's responsibility. Mr. Leo Friis, 600 North Clementine Street, Anaheim, owner of property located at 301 North Parton Street, Santa Ana addressed the Agency. As a property owner effected by the proposed development, Mr. Friis expressed his concern as to when the Agency is to purchase his property. In response to Mr. Friis' query, the Executive Director stated that the Agency previously authorized Staff to conduct appraisals. Those appraisals have been completed and if the Agency approves, Staff will proceed with acquisition. He anticipates delivery of the site to Mr. Van Ingen to be in 9 to 12 months. Upon approval, acquisition will commence immediately and Staff will be contacting property owners of effected parcels within the next week. Prior to adoption of Resolutions 78-16 and 78-17, Mr. Yamamoto expressed his concern with the hiring of out-of-town talent rather than local talent to further our redevelopment plans. Therefore, he informed . the Agency, he could not support a motion that would approve proceeding with the proposed development activities. Mr. Evans stated that it was certainly understood that anyone is free to make proposals and it appears the Agency has an opportunity at this time to conduct something constructive, and he supports proceeding with the project. Mr. Brandt reminded the Agency that the money that is going to be spent on the project will ultimately be used to buy property from Santa Ana homeowners and businesses. In response to a query by Mr. Yamamoto as to whether Mr. Van Ingen was a local developer, the Executive Director explained that the offices of Heritage Development are located directly to the east of the Civic Center. This, he further explained, is considered to be a local develop- ment company.
