CONTRACT FOR APPRAISAL OF FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT - McDONNELL
DOUGLAS AND SANTA FE DEVELOPMENTS
In response to questions from Mr. Luxembourger regarding those
people owning property within Parcel #1 of the McDonnell Douglas
and Santa Fe Development Site, the Executive Director/Development
Services stated that staff was taking different approaches in
negotiations with each of the property owners in Parcel #1, He
added that as the City's Engineer, Mr. George Alvarez, had
indicated it would not be necessary to take any of the property
on Lyons Street for street widening. He pointed out that staff
was now asking that the Agency approve a contract for the
appraisal of fixtures and equipment in this area so that staff

,
could continue negotiations with the property owners with full
knowledge of what the costs would be, thus permitting staff to
negotiate more intelligently and fairly.
Chairman Griset indicated that the Agency members were very
concerned that the people on the west side of Lyons Street not be
condemned out for street widening, to which the Executive
Director/Economic Development stated that the Transportation
Department had been very positive that none of the property on
Lyons Street would be condemned for street widening purposes.
Mrs. McGuigan spoke of several letters of dissent that Agency
Members had received recently regarding the McDonnell Douglas and
Santa Fe developments. The Executive Director/Economic
Development assured her that everything was being done to arrive
at an equitable solution for these property owners but that the
question of a major entryway into this development site was very
important and that every effort should be made to honor McDonnell
Douglas and Santa Fe's request that the land for this entryway be
acquired.
Chairman Griset stated that he was uncomfortable with the thought
that the Agency might be sending the wrong signals to the
property owners in this area.
Vice Chairman Johnson stated that he also was most alarmed when
this question was first raised but that he had since been in
contact with some of the property owners and had found a change
in their points of view in that they now could see a possibility
of making improvements in their properties that they would
otherwise be unable to do.
After further discussion in which Agency Members asked staff to
continue to work for equitable solutions for the property owners,
it was moved by Mr. Luxembourger, seconded by Mr. Young and
carried unanimously (6:0) that the Agency authorize the Chairman
of the Redevelopment Agency to execute an appraisal contract with
Jeffery A. Donahue, for a fee not to exceed $36,000.00, for an
appraisal of fixtures and equipment within the McDonnell Douglas
and Santa Fe Development Sites.
STATUS REPORT - DEPUTY CITY MANAGER/DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
The Deputy City Manager stated that he would like to make a brief
status report to the Agency and discuss the possibility of
establishing a new set of goals for the City, now that most of
the goals of five years ago had been realized. He added that
he would make a short slide presentation showing 30 projects in
the City which had a value in excess of $1 billion. He stated
that looking at these slides would help the Agency to see what
had been accomplished and to set new economic goals in the last
part of 1985. During the slide presentstion the Deputy City
Manager/Development Services gave the following relevant

The Deputy City Manager stated that the above-mentioned
developments would be worth approximately $1 billion, and that,
because of this, 1986 would be a very important year in the
history of Santa Ana. He added that, in his opinion, since the
City had undergone such dramatic changes, it was now time to
establish new goals.
Mr. Young stated that, in addition to the large projects with

which the City is now concerned, more attention should be given
to the smaller things that the people in the community consider
to be important; to which the Deputy City Manager/Development
Services replied that he hoped to involve not only the entire
City staff but also the members of the various City Commissions
and Boards in this projected goal-setting program.
Chairman Griset thanked the Deputy City Manager/Development
Services for his report.
