PUBLIC COMMENTS:
a) PA8 - Baristo/Farrell : John Adams, Tribal Council Planning
Consultant, summarized letter of the Tribal Council rela-
tive to the project, noting that about, 45% of the project
area is owned by Tribal Members, and about 60% of it
is vacant land ; that the Tribal Council memorandum to
the Planning Commission indicated that only one of the
criteria for blight was met, and the 70% vacant land
area far exceeds what is spelled out in State Law regarding
predominantly urban area; that the 'Tribal Council does
not endorse the project area as proposed because of the
commitment of substantial vacant acreage to a project
that is highly questionable as to purpose, intent and
criteria of the Community Redevelopment Law; that 70%
of the privately owned land is owned by Indians ; and
that the Tribal Council needs more information to address
its concerns.
LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
1 . BARISTO/FARRELL REDEVELOPMENT AREA
Redevelopment Director reviewed his report, dated April 3,
1985, which was reviewed in detail at the last study session.
He stated that the Survey Area had 510 acres; that preliminary
studies related primarily to proposed boundaries ; that the
Planning Commission approved the area and established the
boundaries; that the Agency is required to transmit certain
information detailed in the preliminary report to the County
and taxing agencies ; that approximately four months remain
of studying relative to the affect of the project on taxing
agencies and what should be done in the area; that a public
hearing would not be held before October; and that staff
is in the process of arranging a meeting with the Tribal
Council to explore its concerns. Ile recommended that the
Agency approve the two proposed resolutions, which authorize
establishing the base year, transmitting documents to taxing
agencies, and payment of filing fee to State Board of
Equalization; as well as authorizing preparation of the
preliminary plan.
In response to questions by Council , Redevelopment Director
stated that it is correct that Rancho Mirage and Cathedral
City have set up extensive redevelopment areas, using the
same redevelopment consultant, -involving great amounts of
vacant land, several thousand of which were Indian-owned;
that there was comment about that by the Tribal Council in
the past, but the Tribal Council consultant was not aware
that those issues were going to public hearing for project
formation; that Project Areas 5, 6 & 7 were set up before,
and do not single out Indian-owned lands ; that the
redevelopment consultant has assured the City that it is
within the State Law, and it 'is proceeding correctly.

A Regular Meeting of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City
of Palm Springs, was called to order by Chairman Bogert, in the Council
Chamber, 3200 Tahquitz-McCallum Way, on Wednesday, May 15, 1985,
at 7:30 p.m.
ROLL CALL: Present: Members Birer, Foster, Maryanov, Smith and
Chairman Bogert
Absent: None
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
It was moved by Foster, seconded by Smith, and unanimously
carried, that the Minutes of April 3, 1985 be approved.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
a) Jeremy Crocker, 330 W. Arenas Road, read a statement
commenting on acquisition of property by the Agency,
and use of eminent domain, which in his opinion, would
shake the confidence of real estate investment in Palm
Springs.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1 . PA6B14 - LAND ACQUISITION
Recommendation: That the Agency determine interest and neces-
sity to acquire fee interest in certain real property on
the west side of Chaparral , south of Vista Chino.
Redevelopment Director reported that negotiations have been
unsuccessful to acquire the Bartholomew parcel ; and staff
believes it is necessary for the development of the hotel
on the corner property. He stated that redevelopment law
provides that if it is impossible to reach a negotiated settle-
ment, and acquisition of the property is in the public
interest, it can be acquired and the court will determine
the value, and adopt an order of prejudgement; possession,
in order to make it available to the developer in a timely
manner; that similar actions have been provided for both
Agency and City Council action (Council action recommended
by the Agency' s Legal Consultant) ; and that funds would be
deposited with the Court, representing the appraised value,
until the matter is settled by the Court.
In answer to question by the Agency, the Redevelopment Director
reported that the funds deposited with the Court can be drawn
by the property owner until the final settlement, and if
that is more than the deposit, the property owner would receive
the additional amount, plus interest; that the owner does
not prejudice his rights by drawing the funds; that the
appraised value was $115,000, prepared by George Fisher,
and the property consists of a 13 unit former hotel , operated
like an apartment house with monthly rentals; that the site
originally consisted of 9 hotel units, but later remodelling
created the 13 units, and the owner lives in one of the units;
that the property owner, because of residing on the site,
is eligible for relocation benefits, beyond tho ,,pp'rrised
value; that the tenants are primarily workers in nearby hotels;
that there has been low maintenance of the site, although
there has been a cleanup in the last few months, including
r�

filling the swimming pool ; that the main basis of the appraisal
was economic value; that the property owner supplied another
appraisal , which was used in an attempt to negotiate a price,
however, a medium value could not be reached which he felt
the Agency could legally settle upon, and the owner may choose
to submit it in Court.
Mayor declared the hearing open.
Gordon Suker, attorney representing the Bartholomew family
(of which several members were in the audience) stated that
the fourth "Whereas" clause of the proposed resolution cites
the wrong code section number; that none of his clients have
ever been contacted by the developer, which is required by
State law, and it is not in the public interest to acquire
the property, nor is it in the interest of the City to build
another 100+ hotel ; that negotiating requires the developer
to do something, and he has never contacted him or his client;
that he challenges the statement that this is a blighted
area, rather it is a lovely, quiet, well-maintained hotel ;
that "necessity" has not been tested; and the owner is ready
to negotiate with the developer. He stated that the Redevelop-
ment Director sent a letter in October stating that the fair
market value was $146,730; that the owner' s appraisal was
$246,860; that the Redevelopment Director offered $165,000
in December, 1984; that the fault in negotiating is because
the City did not follow the procedure and have the developer
initiate the negotiation. He urged that the Agency table
this matter, and have its staff and legal counsel and explore
the law and see if the developer can do something to make
' his project proceed.
There being no further appearances, Chairman declared the
hearing closed.
In answer to questions by Agency, Redevelopment Director
reported that there is no question that there has not been
contact between the developer and the owner, or her attorney;
that Mrs. Bartholomew contacted him over a - year ago about
the possibility of selling her property, and he spoke with
her about the possibility and who might be interested; that
he served as an intermediary, until negotiations became more
serious, and she retained Mr. Suker to continue the negotia-
tions; that a property study was made some time ago by Mr.
Fisher, which indicated a value of $146,700; that Mrs.
Bartholomew had an appraisal done, which came to $246,860,
however, in studying it, several errors were found; and,
in an attempt to reach a settlement, an offer of $165,000
was made. He stated that the Agency has a legal responsibility
to not give away public funds, if it becomes involved in
the negotiations, even though it may later become a total
expense of the developer. He also reported that attempt
has been made to negotiate with Mr. Suker, as high as $205,000,
but he was not successful with the client, nor the Redevelop-
ment Director with the Agency; at which point Mr. Fisher
was retained to perform a full , in-depth appraisal , which
resulted in the $115,000 appraisal . He stated that the Agency
is not allowed to instruct the appraiser as to what the values
are; and the amount determines how much must be deposited
with the Court. He stated that the Agency must determine
if it wishes to continue this matter until the developer
` II CRA Minutes
5-15-85 Page 3

reaches agreement with the owner, if Mr. Suker is correct
that statutes have not been followed.
City Attorney stated that in the broad sense, the Agency
has the authority to acquire property for land assembly and
transfer to a developer for development; that it is his under-
standing that the Agency may act on behalf of the developer
to enter negotiations; and if the Agency feels unsure or
adverse to that point, it may wish to carry over the item,
pending comment by its outside legal consultant. He stated
that the question of value does not enter into the proceedings
before the Agency at this time, other than to establish that
an offer has been made, and made according to a full appraisal ,
and not just a study appraisal .
Executive Director reported that the Agency' s legal counsel
has reviewed the proceedings and did not find any problems
with it; that appraisal procedures were followed, and any
offer other than the full appraisal would be a gift of public
funds, and he believes the offer is valid and will stand
up in Court.
Member Birer stated that he preferred a delay to hear from
the legal counsel , and stated that eminent domain is something
to be used when all negotiations fail .
Member Maryanov stated that the property owner made the first
contact, and the issue is a question of price, for which
there is a legal procedure to make that determination; and
that he preferred to have the legal opinion before taking
the action proposed.
It was moved by Smith, seconded by Maryanov, and unanimously
carried, that this matter be continued, pending review and
comment by legal consultant, Stover.
LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
2. PA1B2 - MORRISON SITE LEASE
Recommendation: That the Agency approve a lease agreement
with Dina Lamb, for property at 435 N. Palm Canyon, for one
year, at 75t per square foot; and terminate Agreement #74.
Redevelopment Director highlighted his report, and noted
that Mrs. Lamb desired larger quarters, and therefore moved
from her previous store on the property.
Resolution 337, approving the lease agreement, as recommended,
was presented; after which, it was moved by Foster, seconded
by Smith, and unanimously carried, that Resolution 337 be
adopted; and that the lease for the previous site, known
as Agreement 474, be terminated.
3. PA1B2 - WALKWAY
Recommendation: That the Agency quitclaim its interest in
easement for walkway from the Catholic Church parking lot
to Palm Canyon. Redevelopment Director highlighted his report,
and noted that the Agency cannot hold property in its name
as long as the City, and the easement more appropriately
should have been made to the City rather than the Agency.
Easement originally granted tolthe Agency by Paul Sislin.

will settle the matter of value, and staff will work with
the property owner regarding relocation. He stated that
the Agency's legal consultant had reported that a direction
negotiation between the property owner and the developer

Director, and reported that the PAC requested at the time
of adoption of the project area plan that it be given one
year in which to develop a recommendation relating to the
use of eminent domain ; that it has met a number of times
over• the past year, and is recommending the exclusion as
noted.
Mayor/Chairman declared the hearing opened.
Jeremy Crocker, 330 W. Arenas Road, spoke in opposition to
the use of eminent domain, stating that if it is used anywhere
in the project area, it will lead to its use throughout the
area.
George Goldberg, 1445 "Cesspool " Drive;, stated that it is
being used to gain influence for others, and alluded to a
conflict of interest for an unnamed person.
Clarence Dauphine, 879 Gateway, questioned guarantee that
future Council would not use eminent domain ; that he is opposed
to its use in the residential area, but partially favors
its use in other areas, if it would not spill over to the
residential areas. He stated that if the two tracts are
deleted, perhaps the name of the project area is incongruent.
There being no further appearances, the hearing was closed.
Redevelopment Specialist stated that the plan is in place
for thirty years ; that the decision carries with the life
of the plan; that the residential areas remain in the project
area, in order to enable improvements through tax increment
financing; and that any change in the plan would require
notice and another public hearing.
Councilman Maryanov stated that the public necessity must
be shown before any eminent domain proceeding occurs; that
it is not a taking of land, rather a payment therefore at
market value; and the property owner has remedies.

easements; that such consideration could be tabled, but not
