Page Two
The Chairman stated that he felt the Agency should give considera-
tion to the possibility of creating additional recreational facilities
in the City of Santa Monica, such as a tennis foundation, for the benefit
of not only Project residents, but all citizens of Santa Monica.
hr. Harding moved, seconded by Mr. Schimmer, to request the Executive
Director to consider and report back to the Agency on the following items:
(1) The Agency should reiterate its stand with regard to access to the
beach from behind the Project; (2) The Agency should explore possibili-
ties of a non-profit tennis foundation which any citizen of Santa Honica
could join, in an area near the Project such as the parking lots on
Neilson Way, across from Santa Monica Shores, and (3) The Agency should
explore the possibilities for providing further recreational facilities
in the area for the people of Santa Monica. The motion carried with a
unanimous voice vote.
Taxes - First Installment Parcel
The Director stated that in previous years, Tenneco, Inc. had paid
in full taxes owing on the First Installment Parcel on December 10th of
each year, which made it possible for the Agency to receive its apportion-
ment of the tax revenues by early March of each year, and then repurchase
outstanding Tax Allocation 3onds. However, he added that Tenneco's policy
had changed in the last year and that the taxes on the First Installment
Parcel would not be paid in full until April 15th of each year, after
which the Agency would receive its tax revenues ($195,758.81 for 1970-71)
from Los Angeles County.
