At this time, Council/Commission Member Santangelo advised that in April he

May to the Fair Political Practices Commission. The Commission indicated an
answer would be back in three weeks. He said he has checked with City Attorney
Thorson who indicates he still has not received an answer. Council/Commission
Member Santangelo strongly felt this was a very poor Government process and
should be changed. He also said that City Attorney Thorson felt he should not
participate in this issue due to a possible conflict of interest. Council/ -
Commission Member Santangelo left his seat during the following proceedings.
City Clerk Young acknowledged that the Proof of Publication was affirmed at
the Joint Public Hearing on June 14, 1988.
Mayor/Chairman Boggs asked the City Clerk if any correspondence had been
received on this matter. City Clerk Young confirmed the following
correspondence had been received:
A letter from the Project Area Committee expressing several concerns over
the Disposition and Development Agreement; a letter from Mrs. Naomia Sweet,
owner of the property located at 7534 Firestone with a positive attitude toward
the sale of the property to DCH Investments, Inc.; pictures submitted by Mark
St. Julien, 7542 1/2 Firestone Blvd., of the Downey Mobile Home Park and
residents; and a petition from the residents of the Downey Mobile Home Park
expressing concern over their, future. There being no objections, received and
filed.
Redevelopment Manager Wager presented the staff report as set forth in
Agenda Memo dated June 28, 1988, entitled "Disposition and Development
Agreement-DCH Investment, Inc., Property Located: 7534 Firestone Boulevard".
Mr. Wager said it was staff's recommendation to approve the sale of real
property to DCH Investments, Inc. and authorize the execution of a Disposition
and Development Agreement by the Commission.
Mr. Kurt Yaeger, Community Development Counsel, discussed the following
concerns over the Downey Mobile Home Park from staff 'standpoint: The trailer
park is not a part of the project before the Council/Commission for considera-
tion as there are no displaced tenants caused by this project; if in the future
the developer were to take steps to modify or terminate use of the trailer park,
there is a statutory procedure in which the tenants must be given a long period
of notice of its intention to terminate the use and the tenants are entitled to
a hearing before the City Council, at which time an impact report is submitted
which must address relocation plans of the developer; and that the Disposition
and Development Agreement provides that if relocation claims are asserted, the
Redevelopment Agency will be indemnified against the claims by the developer.
Mayor/Chairman Boggs called for those in the audience who wished to speak
regarding the Disposition and Development Agreement.with DCH Investments, Inc.
Mr, Mark St. Julien, 7542 1/2 Firestone Blvd., resident of the trailer
park, emphasized the residents have been given no reason to believe the trailer
park will not be affected by this project. He thanked the Community Development
Department for assisting the mobile home park residents in understanding their
rights under the redevelopment laws. He also advised there would be no claims
if they were dealt with fairly.
Council Minutes 6/28/88 -2-
S4"1
R., c 2
Mr. John Gonzalez, 12350 Orizaba Ave., favored progress in the City of
Downey, but believes the future of the trailer park should be in writing.
Mr. Charles Stevens, 7542 1/4 Firestone Blvd., read a letter he wrote to
the President of the United States regarding this redevelopment project and its
affects upon the residents of the trailer park. He gave a brief personal
history of each resident in the trailer park.
Mr. Lysle Broadwater, 7621 Second St., residing within a block of the
subject area, questioned whether this is a blighted area and said there is
enough noise in the neighborhood already.
Marion Deaton, 7538-1/2 Firestone Boulevard, is stressed over this
situation and does not have the funds to move her trailer.
Erin Tanner, 1801 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, said DCH has no present
plans to evict any of the mobile homes sub -tenants either now or in the future,
and DCH has agreed to purchase the entire property, but not for the purpose of
removing or evicting the mobile home sub -tenants.
Mr. Bob Verderber, 12828 Verdura, discussed the background of DCH Corpora-
tion concerning its import and export of automobiles, cosmetics, and agriculture
in southeast Asia, China, and the United States. He expressed his opposition to
the City offering redevelopment funds to underwrite the transaction of a wealthy
corporation in establishing an automobile business in the City. He noted that
other automobile dealerships have been established on Firestone without help
from the City.
Myrtle Risley, 7938 Phlox Street, hopes the Council will not confirm this
plan and said the people in the mobile home park need assistance to relocate.
Mr. Cuy Sterner, 10303 Downey Avenue, feels staff did an excellent job in
providing a DDA that involved the present property owner without requiring
eminent domain, but should have included relocation benefits to the muffler shop
that has been in business for a long time, as well as protection for residents
of the mobile home park.
It was moved by Council Member/Commissioner Cormack, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Paul, and carried by a 4-1 vote (Council Member/Commissioner

Amendment to the City Council Minutes of June 28, 1988, page 3, following
paragraph 10, amended July 12, 1988.
Mr. Joe Cefaratti, representing DCH Investments, Inc., spoke in rebuttal to
a previous statement that DCH was "double dealing." He stated that negotiations
broke down with Mr. Anderson and he was hired as a broker to try to find a piece
of property since they were not able to put anything together with Mr.
Anderson. He stated that he approached South Gate, Santa Fe Springs, and
Downey, and found Downey the easiest to work with so they decided to purchase
the property in Downey.
Mayor Boggs asked when the negotiations broke down.
Mr. Cefaratti responded that it had been the end of the year (1987) and
that they were at a deadlock, that there was a letter of intent and Mr. Andrews
refused to abide by a portion of it.
Mayor Boggs stated that she had a document showing meetings scheduled in
January, February, March, and April of this year (1988) and that all meetings
took place except one that was cancelled one hour before the time on April 7th.
Mr. Cefaratti responded that they were trying to clear up the problem that
was not being abided by in the letter of intent. They were just deadlocked on
it, and that in the meantime he was looking for other properties in case it did
fall apart.
