Chairman Edgar stated the legality of the waiver was a matter for the
civil courts to decide. He directed staff to get a specific count of
how many tenants were eligible for relocation benefits.
Mr. Hudson suggested perhaps the rent payments for November and December
be held in a trust account adminstered by the City Attorney. When
tenants are ready to move, the money could be released to the tenant to
be used for deposit and payment at the new location.
Chairman Edgar stated the Agency wished to study all the information
presented and would respond at the next meeting and asked if anyone from
Cai-State was present to react to the statements made by the tenants.
Steve Price, relocation coordinator, stated that the trees which had
caused resident concern had been trin~ned. He stated Cai-State was
trying to work out solutions when specific problems were presented. The
letter and pictures presented to the Agency should have been made
available to Cai-State. Cai-State was looking into the possibility of
turning one of the vacant apartments into a playroom for the children,
and another into a laundry room. He stated that Cai-State was trying to
find solutions to impossible problems and lack of neighbor-to-neighbor
consideration and sabotage were making the situation even more
difficult.
Chairman Edgar questioned how much longer the construction would be in
progress.
Mr. Price estimated 2-1/2 ~ 3 months and stated 30 tenants were eligible
for relocation benefits.
Chairman Edgar asked when people would be able to find sufficient
parking.
Ed Brinck, construction manager, stated the visible construction, that
which was causing the present inconvenience, would last 2-1/2 - 3 months
barring serious problems with rain.
Betty Wagner, housing coordinator for the E1 Toro Marine Base, stated
that of the ten Marine families living at Windsor, one had relocated,
f~ve had been reimbursed, two were undecided, and two had not made their
plans known to her. She presented copies of letters to Cai-State from
Marine tenants for Council information.
Chairman Edgar stated the problem would be considered as a continuing
item. He requested a Cai-State representative be present at the next
meeting and have an exact count of those eligible for relocation.
Dr. Flaherty, 190 E1 Camino, asked if the alley between "C" Street and
E1Camino Real would be abandoned as discussed at a previous meeting.
Mr. Brotemarkle stated that the owners of the involved properties were
preparing the necessary documents. A formal abandonment could not be
considered until the documents were complete.
