TRANSCRIPT HAS BEEN PREPARED ON THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZED PROCEEDINGS.
Discussion ensued on the terms and conditions of the proposed agreement
between the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency and Goldrich & Kest Associates
for a senior citizen development. Robert Hirsch spoke at length submit-
ting in part that it is their recommendation that consideration be given
to constructing two smaller units rather than one say for 120 units or
more; that HUD or the California Housing Finance Agency would probably
be more favorable to this type of facility. He cited an instance where
HUD would not accept more than 50 units in one given location; that it
will undoubtedly be difficult to locate a site large enough for more
than that number and that HUll would probably only consider the smaller
number of units under Section 8 Subsidy Program .. that it would be pos-
sib Ie to submit a second application but it would be their recommenda-
tion to focus on obtaining maximum funding the first time around.
Including the land units would cost approximately $50,000 each to con-
struct ." land cost is somewhere in the $10,000 per unit bracket and
in Arcadia it will probably be a problem because of the higher density
of the land .., that the most they could probably obtain in funding
would be 90% or about $45,000 ... perhaps less,

Mr. Hirsch explained that the units would not be sold ,.. that the
company manages their own units and explored in detail how the manage-
ment fee is established by HUD. In response to questions Mr. Hirsch
said in part that they would eventually record a covenant restricting
the property to senior citizen use for a period of say 40 years
that the City is entitled to be given a guarantee that when the loan
is paid off it will remain for the same use.
(
Steps necessary to commence the program were explained; following the
execution of an agreement they would endeavor to locate the land with
the help of the Agency; the architects would then design a type of fa-
cility; the Senior Citizen Committee would review the design and then
the Agency.. if approved then the tons of paper work required would
be accomplished and submitted to HUD and/or the California Housing Fi-
nance Agency.. there would then ~e a waiting period, If all goes well
and the project is completed a Certified Public Accountant will examine
their books, certify to his audit to ascertain whether or not they have
spe nt more than the 90% loan. During these proceedings a replacement
cost is also placed on the facility.
The proposed agreement provides for the Agency to review the concept
plans, the architectural design; the Agency and the developer have to

agree on the site and the developer would be required to put up a de-

it also would provide that if an adequate site is not located, or if
the concept plans have not been prepared, or if a satisfactory Disposi-
tion and Development Agreement has not been negotiated during the speci-
fied period, the agreement would be terminated. It was suggested that
