Chairman Souder stated this proposal has been brought forward as a result of Vice Chairman Wilson's
comments several meetings ago and the meeting of the mayor and mayor pro tem with the planning
commission chairman and vice chairman. The timing is perfect and the dollars are available to make
this a good opportunity to form a CRA project area.
Vice Chairman Wilson agreed, saying she felt a lot could be done with Las Tunas Drive. As she
mentioned previously, the city cannot stop certain businesses from coming into the city but it can
make the environment more interesting to attract a variety of new businesses.
Mr. Breazeal said another cosmetic fix would be destined for failure. If the Agency proceeds, he
agreed with Mr. Gillanders that the Agency needs to be aggressive and spend the kind of money to
form an area that has the potential for viability which should include an area larger than the Las
Tunas frontage.
Chairman Souder indicated that Mr. Brook previously expressed support of this type of project.
Chairman Souder asked for consensus to proceed with the Executive Director's recommendation to
accept the proposal from Mr. Montgomery to analyze the project area and to provide his
recommendation as to the feasibility of such a project to encompass the area of Las Tunas Drive from
Woodruff to the north, Workman to the south, Rosemead to the west and Rowland to the east.
Vice Chairman Wilson moved to approve a proposal from Mr. Montgomery at a cost of $5,000 to
determine the feasibility of the formation of a CRA project area to include the area of Workman to
Woodruff and Rosemead to Rowland, seconded by Mr. Breazeal and unanimously carried.
