Railroad tracks to the south, Fifth Avenue to the east and Second Avenue to the west, and that portion of the Project Area 325 feet west of Second Avenue between Santa Clara Street and Wheeler Avenue in the Central Redevelopment Project Area, and the Certification of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact thereon. Staff exhibited projectura1s of the subject area and circulated lists of,property owners, land use, acreage, square feet -and the current assessed valuations of land and improvements. The price paid for the parcels owned by the City was discussed along with present improve- ments if any. The possibility of closing Third Avenue and relocating the Continuation School was also explored. Staff submitted areas of concern for the Agency to consider ... whether or not the Agency desired one single agreement to coordinate the entire site area including the so-called Coke interests ... and how Republic would handle the hotel project under one site plan ... and under the single agreement concept how Republic would handle the five parties who want to participate in their own development and still be consistent with Republic's responsibility for overall coordination. Also condemnation proceedings to assure the Agency that Republic has made every effort to purchase the property. Charles Vose, attorney at 1000 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, represent- ing Republic Development Company, noted areas on appropriate maps which have been taken into consideration for specific types of development. He noted that Republic has the financial resources to move ahead with the entire project and one of the more difficult problems to solve is the acquisition of residential property which is more costly and it may be necessary to acquire through condemnation. He understood the concerns of the Agency about eminent domain which is costly and it is to Republic's best interest to acquire the property outside of condemnation and that any language by the Agency in this regard would be acceptable to Republic. Mr. Vose also submitted in part that it is more practical to have one developer in control of the site and noted that the proposed agreement requires the developer to -1- 11-8-79 REPUBLIC DEVELOPMENT can't.

I RECESS AND RECONVENE Staff reported on the request of the City of Monrovia for the deannexation of certain property proposed to be included in a sub- division located north of Hillcrest Boulevard. The Monrovia City Council approved the tentative map of this tract contingent upon detachment from Arcadia and annexation to Monrovia those portions lying within Arcadia. The lots will be on the average of 34,995 sq. ft., and the homes would have access from Hillcrest in Monrovia and would sell for approximately $200,000. The City Departments do not have any objections. The Fire Department -2- 11-8-79 DEANNEXATlON (MONROVIA) con' t.. I MUNICIPAL DATA SYSTEMS L rr ;1 v' / ,;, . ADJOURNMENT TO DATE CERTAllI I 24:9894 noted it would be an advantage in that area that would not have to be serviced by it and deannexation would actually resolve access difficulties to existing proper:ty on the, border ,1iQe. During this consideration the developer responded to questions. It was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried on roll call vote as follows that the request be granted; that staff be directed to prepare a Environmental Impact Report and the appropriate Resolution consenting to the deannexation. AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Gilb, Parry, Pellegrino, Saelid, None None Margett The Finance Director explained that the Joint Powers Authority with eleven cities was organized in 1970 and has contracted with the City of Anaheim since July 1, 1976 - to provide data processing needs (finance, payroll, water, utility, busines license, and management information.) Costs have increased 26% in three years (from $55,840 to $70,429). Internal problems encountered by the City of Anaheim were explained, due mostly to increased burdens and growth of the Anaheim area itself. Staff recommended a change to be effective in July 1980 to the firm of Science Dynamics at a cost of $70,000 per year for the same services. There would be no increase in cost for four years. There would be 12 full time employees dedicated exclusively to MDS. A complete break- down of services was charted for Council review. It was noted that the Executive Board of MDS will act on this November 21 and a resolution would be necessary to effect the change. It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried on roll call vote as follows that the City Council approve the proposed concept as presented. AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Gilb, Parry, Pellegrino, Saelid, Margett None None The meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m. to 10:30 a.m. November 16, 1979 in the Conference Room. --If A .~~ ~~ Christine Van Maanen City Clerk -3- 11-8-79
