Lew Bennett, 403 Ocean Avenue, spoke regarding appraisal of the trailer
park property. Gil Nelsen, 1001 Seal Way, questioned redevelopment
agency financing for the trailer park project and suggested HUD Block
Grant Funds Instead. Jean Dorr, 231 - 6th Street, disagreed with Mr.
Nelsen's statements regarding HUD Grants. . Alan Schneeberg, associated
with the Western Center on Law on Poverty, clarified the use of
appropriate federal funding programs and the application of redevelopment
agency authority and tax increments. Mr. Schneeberg referred to a law
suit recently filed against redevelopment agencies in Los Angeles that
he participated in and that their analysis concluded that the Seal Beach
Redevelopment Plan as presently amended would not be subject to
challenge but rather this was a model plan for other cities use in
redevelopment and replacment housing programs. Mr. Schneeberg
expressed concern that the lower income people that live in the Trailer
Park which are his clients, would have to pay higher rents to absorb the
cost of dedication fees required by the Agency.
Agency Member Blackman suggested that the Agency recess until after
the Council meeting for further oral communications from the audience
due to the late hour. Mr. Nelsen was recognized by the Chair to make
a brief statement that he had been referring to HUD 235, 236 and 701
Programs. The City Attorney responded to Mr. Kredell's querie regarding
the progress of the sale of the notes.
