Richard Goblirsch, Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency, stated that the Agency had acquired some six parcels of land; had relocated 35 families; had experienced no prob- lems with the acquisition or re-location; and that with the exception of moving the utilities, the site is ready to convey to the developer. He further stated that the sales price is $160,000 predicated on a unit price of $800, representing the fair market value for the site. In response to the Mayor's inquiry, the Clerk reported that there had been no written communications in regard to this public hearing. The following persons responded to the Mayor's invitation for public comment: Mr. George Estrada, Vice President of the Delhi Homeowners Association. In response to a series of questions by Mr. Estrada, Mr. Goblirsch stated that the total cost of the property acquired for the site was $500,000; that the proposed project could inflate the value of the surrounding properties; that displaced persons had been relocated and there were no displaced senior citizens who desired residency in the proposed development; that funds borrowed from the west side storm drain project to acquire the site would be reimbursed over a three year period; that 66 parking spaces are adequate for the site because few senior citizens own cars; and that the center of the City's bus transportation system is at Santa Aha Boulevard and Flower Street, within walking Jistance of the project.

Hall, Executive Director, City Center Association, stated that his organization belongs to the California Downtown Association which encompasses the State of California, and that reports from other cities have shown that projects such as this one planned for Santa Ana have been very successful, and have improved the economic health of the adjoining shopping areas; and also that the people of the Delhi area have categorically rejected any efforts to redevelopment projects in their area. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 523 DECEMBER 15, 19~ Mr. Howard Way, Chairman of the Project Area Committee, stated that there has been no objection in the community to the Senior Citizens Housing Project. Mr. Gene Jacobs, Attorney for the Redevelopment Agency, stated that the developer "would be lucky to make any profit"; that Santa Aha is fortunate to have the commitment from HUD; that the high rise concept~is very convenient for senior citizens; that it is already a matter of law that qualified persons dis- placed by the project have priority admittance to senior citi- zens housing, and there is no problem in adding that provision to the developer's contract. The Public Hearing was continued to 2:00 P.M. January 5, 1976 in the Council Chambers, on the motion of Councilman Evans, seconded by Councilman Ortiz, and carried (7-0) unanimously.
