Board Chairman Holthaus called the special meeting to order at 5:15 P.M.
After reviewing all four alternatives for the Little Dry Creek Project,
the Board enthusiastically recommended in favor of Alternative Number
Three. Vote: 8 in favor, 0 against, 1 abstention. (Mr. Neal and Mr.
Maxwell left prior to the vote .) The support of Alternative Three is
conditioned upon the following actions:
1) That the City secure a commitment to the private portion of
the project from a developer by June 1, 1982;
2) That the project be implemented in such a way that no property
owner or tenant is hurt and that, to this end, the developer
should deal directly with the tenants and owners. Specifically
this means that tenants should be relocated into alternative
facilities which will meet their business or housing needs or
that they should be provided an alternative solution to the
displacement problem which is accepted and approved by them
(within reason). Members of the Board are willing to assist
with the relocation in any way possible.
The Board reviewed the draft of the Urban Renewal Relocation Plan and
adopted the following recommendations concerning it.
1) On page 46, paragraph I.a., notice to business owners should
be lengthened from the proposed 90 days to 6 months.
2) On page 46, paragraph 1.e., the $10,000 maximum of benefits
to displaced business owners should be removed. Compensation
should be allocated on a case by case basis commensurate with
the specific needs of each business.
Respectfully submitted,
