RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Mr. Gasson announced that Fred Kaufman has been selected by the City to be
a part of the negotiating team for the redevelopment project. He is to
report to the EDDA periodically as to the status of the negotiations.
American City Corporation -Mr. Gasson noted that the EDDA will not enter
into a contract with the American City Corporation. It was also noted that
the intended $25,000 for this contract is still in the budget.
RELOCATION POLICY AND PROVISIONS -Mr. Neal stated that the proposed relocation
benefits should le presented as issues to be discussed or addressed. It was
recommended that a spread sheet be prepared with costs as they are associated
to various benefits. This could be taken from examples of the other urban renewal
authorities in the area. Mr. Coleman's suggestion to expand the philosophy
will be included in this revised recommendation. One additional suggestion
was that businesses have access to financial expertise regarding the decisions
about relocation. Mr. Pendleton will chair this sub committee, with Mr. Neal
and Ms. Owens as members.
Chairman Gasson called a Special Meeting on February 26, 1983, at 12:00 PM to
further discuss relocation issues.
Negative Publicity Regarding the Redevelopment Project -Mr. Kaufman moved,
seconded by Ms. Owens, to make contact with Broadway merchants who are unhappy,
uninformed, and uncomfortable with the redevelopment project. The purpose
of this would be to create good will and provide them with positive information.
The motion passed unanimously by voice vote.
Broadway Design Guidelines -A tentative meeting on February 4, 1983, is scheduled
to review the design guidelines for Broadway. Mr. Ensign will be in attendance
to answer any questions.
