CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE Councilman Camphouse reported as follows on the conference he and the Director of Public Works attended on Urban Renewal and Redevelopment, sponsored by the California State Chamber of Commerce League of California Cities on May 22, 1958 in San Francisco. He further informed Council that Mr. Carozza would prepare a detailed written report. ;g S f "The greatest misconception is the fact that the term "urban renewal redevelopment" applies only to slum clearance. As we think of the long range view of Arcadia, it occurs to me that we, as a forward looking Council, can prevent any form of deterioration in the community; that we are doing service and part of the task for which we were put into office by the people. "The greatest impact of this urban renewal program is that it is basically a type of program that functions on a free enterprise basis; this is something to be done by the people for the community rather than the government to do for the people. The conference was highlighted by competent officials discussing the various phases. The outstanding aspect of the entire conference was the 'Jacksonville Story'; ;being elaborated upon by the showing of pictures. This project is a tribute to American genius and ability; the fact being stressed that any community can do what- ever it desires if it is wanted badly enough. "Much misconception about urban renewal and redevelopment is being gendered by the objecting public and we meet much of this when we attempt to make zone changes which would benefit the community. The objectors think only of themselves. Relative to the hearing to be held on the budget, the statement was made at the conference that just economizing and cutting down the tax rate is not enough - does not produce a healthy climate for any community. People are inclined to misconceive the purpose and our task when we work on the budget. California State Legislature has provided this new type of amortization which is called tax evaluation; where the facility produces a greater revenue to the community extra revenue is used to amortize the cost of the facility. As an example, the City of Jacksonville built a tremendous 'gater bowl', a 12,000 sportorium (covered and closed); cleaned up their entire water front area and have built a $13,000.00 City Hall. They are now in the process of building a tremendous auditorium. At one time they had the site all selected and the land cleared on which to build the auditorium when someone conceived the idea that the land would serve the community better if it were used for private enterprise; the result being that the Atlantic Coastline Railroad built their home offices on this site - they are now receiving double benefit and they will soon have their civic auditorium also, on another site. "I would like to suggest that the Jacksonville, Florida and request called "the Jacksonville Story." City Manager communicate with a copy of the press release 4. 5-26-58 1 1 I 1 ADJOURNMENT 4270 ." '~"" f ("\ ~ " ,~ Councilman Camphouse then suggested that Council schedule the first meeting in the fall with the Planning Commission on a Saturday for an all day meeting; that possibly meetings could be scheduled on a quarterly basis; that both agencies could view the City and perhaps make improvements by taking the closer look. Councilman Camphouse further suggested that the Council meet with the Recreation Commission at least twice a year, once in the fall and again in the spring (before going into the next fiscal year); perhaps carry out some of the matters discussed during the last campaign which would be beneficial, and make provisions that would eliminate any conflict of interests relative to the youth programs. Mayor Phillips expressed appreciation for the report and stated that the suggestions would be kept in mind as they are very worthwhile. Councilman Camphouse moved that the meeting adjourn, which motion was seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried unanimously, cQj~rP~ Mayor ~ ATIEST: eL~~)j/U~ City Clerk 5. 5-26-58
