ARDEN-GUTHRIE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY (Community Development Commission) Commission Member Hernandez stated that he did not support Motion D of this item which would cul-de-sac the streets in the complex. Commission Member Miller indicated that studies of the Implementation strategy have shown a need to slow down the traffic within the complex. She said that was a major reason for requesting the streets be cul-de-saced. Commission Member Hernandez felt that the management of the complex was more essential in the revitalization of the neighborhood instead of the streets. Commission Member Oberhelman discussed his objection to the Agency purchasing two (2) units at the cost of $400, 000 for a multiple-use neighborhood facility. He felt the cost for the facility should be divided amongst the four-plex owners. Kenneth J. Henderson, Executive Director, Development Department, explained that it would be difficult to implement such a plan since the majority of the owners would not be willing to participate in the cost. He stated that the primary reason for purchasing the units was to provide 24 hour a day management services in the target area and to also give financial support to the complex. He said the Agency contribution to the project would be reduced after one year. Commission Member Pope-Ludlam expressed concern regarding the 'Funds being proposed for this project and the 20% set-aside funds available from the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) . Mr. Henderson indicated that for the current fiscal year, the Agency anticipates approximately $5 million being paid back to the Agency relative to repayments from projects such as Highland Lutheran and Casa Ramona Housing. Mr. Henderson stated that the funding for Arden Guthrie would not impact any other program. Commission Member Pope-Ludlam questioned the amount of funds available for housing for the next year. Mr. Henderson said the Agency would have approximately $3 million in new 20% set-aside funds. Discussion ensued regarding the funding source for the Arden Guthrie Program. JOINT REGULAR MEETING COMMISSION MINUTES KJH:1mp:cmin8jr2 - 7 - AUGUST 16, 1993 16 Commission Member Hernandez expressed concern regarding the request to remodel the proposed multiple-use facility units when they were previously remodeled within the last year. Commission Member Oberhelman reiterated his previous comments regarding financing for the multiple-use facility units. He stressed that if there was not a high-level participation rate amongst the owners, that maybe the project should be tabled. He felt the money proposed for the facility should be kept available for other projects. Mayor Minor asked if the motions could stand alone and be approved individually. Mr. Henderson explained that the components of the project could be changed but not separated. He felt it was important to understand that all the components have a specific role in the project. Commission Member Hernandez stressed the importance of the management team's effectiveness being the main necessity to making the project work. James Machuta, 25641 Resedo, San Bernardino, spoke briefly on the need to revitalize the area. He expressed concern regarding new gang members moving to the area and requested the city show some type of activity which would indicate that they were trying to offer assistance to the owners. Ron Jurgeson, 1820 West Orangewood, City of Orange, stated that he had invested over $400, 000 of his own money to help rehabilitate the area. He indicated that he was very concerned about the vandalism and other negative activity that had taken place in the complex. He requested the city take a holistic approach on the matter and approve the form motions. Commission Member Pope-Ludlam stated that the management team was essential to the success of this project and emphasized on the need for the park. She felt that $400, 000 was a large amount for the units and that modifications should be made within the motion regarding the cul-de-sacs. Ms. Evelyn Kinney, 248 East 18th Street, San Bernardino, spoke on the negative impact the Arden Guthrie Complex had on the community. She stated that placing a park in the complex would only cause more harm. Jeff Wright, Citizen, recommended that a town hall meeting be held with residents of Arden Guthrie and the surrounding community to discuss this proposed project. He also questioned the cost of the project and whether or not the funds would be well spent. Commission Member Miller informed Mr. Wright that several meetings had been held in the community to discuss the project.

Commission Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Commission Member Miller, to approve the acquisition or leasing of those specific properties necessary for development of a neighborhood mini-park facility within the Arden-Guthrie "Focus" Neighborhood, and allocate 520, 000 in available FY 1993-94 Housing Set-Aside funds for said pur
