Following the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, Chairman Griset gave the invocation. The roll was then called: PRESENT ABSENT John Acosta Daniel Griset, Chairman P. Lee Johnson, Vice Chairman Robert Luxembourger Patricia McGuigan Dan Young Wilson Hart Others in attendance: Robert C. Bobb, City Manager Rex Swanson, Deputy City Manager/Development Services Edward J. Cooper, City Attorney David N. Ream, Executive Director/Economic Development Mellmary McNeely, Agency Secretary MINUTES It was moved by Vice Chairman Johnson, seconded by Mr. Luxembourger and carried unanimously (Mrs. McGuigan abstained on the Minutes of August 20, and September 3, 1985 because she did not attend those meetings) that the Minutes of August 5, 1985, August 10, 1985 and September 3, 1985 be approved as received. Mr. Acosta arrived at 5:40 P.M.; Mr. Young arrived at 5:45 P.M. 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 I I , 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.

Mr. Young stated that, in addition to the large projects with -5- 8 I I 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.
