Prior to the Agency action, Mr. Joseph Gilmaker, 308 W. 4th Street,
Santa Ana, stated that he was opposed to the expenditure of millions
of dollars of taxpayers' money which will necessarily fund any proposed
redevelopment; that engaging consultants at a cost of $40,000 to prepare
economic and planning studies is placing business and buildings first
and people last; and that he was not against redevelopment of the down-
town area but the answer was a free enterprise plan or cooperation of
property owners.
Commissioner Griset stated that the Redevelopment Agency was interested
in benefiting the entire City of Santa Ana and that the State Redevelopment
Act provide s a minimum of disadvantage and the finest opportunity of
combining a partnership of property owners without additional taxation to
the citizens of Santa Ana.
Commissioner Evans stated his opinion that the Redevelopment issue should
have been taken to a vote of the people.
The Outline of Activity
Schedule of the Redevel-
opment Agency dated March 4, 1974, was received and filed on motion of
Commissioner Evans, seconded by Commissioner Garthe.
