FINANCIAL
a) New Accounting Procedure - Mr. Denny Haynes suggested
policy should be established for a new bill-approving system for
the Agency. He presented two bills, currently due, for approval
for payment.
On motion by Mr. Poehner, seconded by Mr. Stewart, and
carried, the Agency approved payment in the amount of $112.50 to
Eugene B. Jacobs for litigation services against the Environmental
Protection Agency held in March and April, and payment in the
amount of $425.00 to Soils Engineering Company for a survey on
Parcel C.
The Agency requested that, in the future, staff prepare
a list of bills due, and submit to members prior to each meeting.
Mr. Haynes advised that details of all bills are available for
closer scrutiny by Agency members at his office upon request.
The necessity of appointing a committee to review these
bills each month prior to the meeting was discussed, and it was
the consensus of members that a committee was not needed at the
present time, but would be considered at a later date as they
become more voluminous.
CHAIRMAN CASPER AT THIS TIME MOVED ITEM (b) UNDER "FINANCE" TO
FOLLOW ITEM (c) UNDER "PROJECTS" WHERE IT COULD BE MORE APPRO-
PRIATELY COVERED.

PROJECTS
a) Alterations to Building-Downtown Project Area - Mr. Foster
reported on the activity by Pacific Telephone on their property at
2120 "L" Street, as noted in a memo dated July 25, 1975 to him
from the City Planning Director, with copies to each member. The
work is mainly interior and considered minor, however, he felt
members should know that the Company is moving their antennas
from their location west of Chester to "M" Street, so it looks
like an awful lot of work.
b) Status of Parcel "C" - Mr. Foster reported escrow on
Parcel "C" will close at 8 a.m. Thursday, August 28, at which time
we will pick up a check for $100,000 and deliver it to the Treasurer.
Devco has already gone to bid, and bids are in. (Amounts not known,
but when available, will advise.) Work will start on September 2nd--
right on schedule.
c) Status Report on Griffith Company - Mr. Foster reported
that John S. Griffith Company had signed the Disposition and Develop-
ment Agreement for the Downtown Shopping Center. Copy should be
received from Mark Breakstone next week. A copy is also being
mailed to Brock's; if and when Brock's agrees to the conditions
therein and signs it, the D.D.A. will come to the Redevelopment
Agency for acceptance. (A copy will be given each member to
study, as it is important to understand it.)
CHAIRMAN CASPER AT THIS TIME MOVED THE MEETING BACK TO ITEM
UNDER "FINANCE" WHICH HAD BEEN BYPASSED FOR PRESENTATION AT THIS
TIME
FINANCE (b) ~ - Mr. Foster stated that the Treasurer had
~ed several times that we should take a look at the tax
increment flow of the project area that now exists, to see what
we can anticipate coming in, what we will need, and what would
happen if we expanded or did not expand the boundaries, etc.
He stated this is a decision-making process and all should be
involved, and suggested a "workshop" be held Tuesday, September
at 4 p.m. Agency members concurred. Notices will be mailed.

GENERAL

1975, containing a recommendation by the Executive Director,
City Attorney and Agency Counsel that a second appraisal of this
