Architects and Planners. (Councilmember Jennings entered at 7:53
P.M.) Mayor Yannatta Goldway requested that the record reflect
that her feeling on the addit10nal funding left over for the
community, which would be discussed at a future time, was that a
significant port1on would be allocated for some sort of endowment
program for the arts in the community: that there would be the
opportunity within the controverS1al redevelopment project to
provide a good deal of activity for the community to come together
and enjoy itself and to enhance the cultural life of the entire
City. The following persons spoke in regard to the matter: Lecora
Morton, Liucija Baskauskas, Jack L. Silvas, Wayne Hall, Greg
Broughton, and Bernice Marshall. Discussion was held.
Councilmernber Zane moved to approve the proposed beach 1mprovement
plan, noting 'that staff would prepare schematics and fuller
explanation of all proposed traffic signals, traffic flows, and
statistics along the beach and around entrances, and to authorize
staff to file an amended coastal development permit. Second by
Mayor Yannatta Goldway. With the consent of the second,
Councilmember Zane included in his motion the suggest10n of the
Executive Director/City Manager to approve the off site plan and to
direct staff to prepare a coastal application and to direct the
City Attorney to prepare appropriate legal documents to be brought
back to the Agency and Council for final approval. The motion was
approved by the following vote:
Council/Agency Vote: Affirmative: Councilmernbers Conn,
Edwards, Press, Zane and
Mayor Yannatta Goldway
Negative:
Councilrnernbers Jennings
and Reed
Counc11member Jennings requested that the record reflect that his
reason for voting no was because he did not believe that such a
large sum should be spent on beautifying the beach when people were
starving to death and going without housing in Santa Monica, and
that he did not believe that adequate attention had been given to
the needs and des1res of a large number of low and moderate income
persons who come from outside of Santa Mon1ca to use the beach.
Councilrnember Reed requested that the record reflect that her no
vote was cast because she believed that proceeding in this manner
was against the intent of the Redevelopment Agency mot1on of Apr1l
6, 1982, in which the Agency committed itself to proceed with off
site lmprovements and housing in a parallel program. Councilmernber
Zane noted that he voted yes because he believed the expenditures
were necessary in order to secure the appropriate Coastal
Commission approval of the amended permit.
At 9:28 P.M., Councilmember Conn moved to ajourn the Joint meeting
of the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency. Second by Mayor
Pro Tempore Edwards. The motion was approved vote:
Council/Agency Vote: Unanimously approved 7-0
