CAPITAL IMPRO~S PROGRAM -
Planning Director Van Stevens and Senior Planner Steve Lafer
introduced and explained the fifteen year Capital Improvements
Program submitted to the City Council by the Planning Cummission.
The program was discussed at length by the City Council and the
Staff.
Leonard Hines and Hal Winter, representing the Downtown Santa Aha
Association, expressed regret that improvements, such as parking,
lighting and a mall, in the Central Core Area had not been included
in the first phase of the program. The Central Core Area was
described by Mr. Winter as being the area between First and Tenth
Streets and between Mertimer and Flower. The Planning Director
explained that without specific plans it was impossible to estimate
costs, noting ~hat the City Center Plan had not yet been adopted as
a part of the General Plan.
Mr. Hines stated the Downtown Association could come up with plans
and asked that they be included in the first phase of the Capital
Improvements Program. The Planning Director suggested that the
Staff could proceed and request the Planning Ccmmission to go into
hearings on the City Center Plan, proceeding with the assumption
that monies will be available.
Prank Bueche spoke in favor of the Capital Improvements Program and
urged that it be put into effect as rapidly as possible as a complete
program. Council discussed at length financing resources and bonding
procedures.
A motion by Councilman McMichael, seconded by Councilm-n Gilmore,
that the Council go on record as approving the Capital Improvements
Program as submitted by the Planning C~--~ission without taking
action at this time with regard to time priority of individual
listings, was adopted unanimously on roll call vote.

make a study and recommendation.
Councilman Gilmore suggested that the Capital Improvements Program
be placed on the September 19 agenda for the afternoon session and
that all the Department Heads be present so that the City Council
might ask questions on specific items.
