Mr. Art Morales addressed the Agency inquiring criteria of Comments
major developments in the redevelopment area, i.e., as to A. Morales
size, etc., before they would be required to build a
reservoir to serve the development. Staff responded that it
would depend on the size of the project and the capacity of
present reservoirs to serve the area. At this point in
time, no specific answer could be given without further
studies.
Mrs. Gayle Avakian addressed the Agency regarding the Comments
article in the Los Angeles Times about the problems at the G. Avakian
Rainbow Angling Club property. She requested that General
Counsel and the Agency look into where the responsibility
for this project lies. She also requested who would take
responsiblity for redevelopment in the City at the present
time so that the citizens would be assured of quality
workmanship. General Counsel apprised her that the Rainbow
Angling Club project was given financial assistance through
Mortgage Revenue Bonds and that the Agency only lent their
name to the project for this assistance. It was not one
that the Agency looked into and approved and initiated to be
built. That under the bonds issued there were certain
criteria and procedures to be utilized by the various
lenders, and since that time, it was learned that some of
those procedures were not properly followed. He further
stated that all redevelopment considered at the present time
was definitely the Agency's responsibility and that once the
agreements were made there was follow-up and definite
assurances that the projects were completed as stipulated
under the agreements.
Marc Sheldon addressed the Agency and stated that according Comments
to the Times article, the low interest loans for the homes M. Sheldon
at the Rainbow Angling Club were computed and then added to
the price of the homes. He furher stated that if the West
End Specific Plan was approved then the City was "running
out" all the little businesses in that area.
