Councilmember Mercer reported on the LAVWMA meeting at which time it was deter- mined to continue with the Phase II Reclamation Study. He stated that DSRSD made a presentation opposing the continuation of this study and that he concurred with this conclusion, but by a 2-1 vote of the City Council at that meeting, he voted in favor of the study. Mayor Brandes reported that the Urbanization Line Committee, consisting of him- self and Councilmember Mercer, Planning Commissioners Geppert and Jamieson, and City staff, unanimously recommended that the Urbanization Line of the General Plan be eliminated. He stated this change will require a General Plan amendment, which is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission on November 14, and by the City Council in December. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Howard Neely, 448 Amador Court, member of the Housing Authority Board,. stated that with regard to the Housing Authority not making a presentation to the City Council this evening as requested, the Chairman had advised the Mayor by letter that the Board felt it would be better not to make a presentation until receipt of additional infor- mation from HUD on this matter. Mr. Neely stated he was exasperated by the various attitudes of press, Council and staff, and the community. He stated the General Plan regulated everything; that before the General Plan everyone had average things. Mr. Neely stated that the Housing Authority Board had requested semi-annual or annual meetings with the City Council to discuss and review any topics of interest or concern but that the City Council had determined not to meet with the Housing Authority Board when they last requested such a meeting. Mr. Neely reported on the status of HUD grants and the need for further review and modification of the project plan in order to reduce costs and obtain the Federal Grant. He stated that until this was done it was inappropriate to make a presentation to the Council and that Mayor Brandes had been so advised, however, he instructed that it be placed on the agenda. Mr. Neely stated that it was disturbing to hear that the City Council wants to dissolve the Housing Authority. He added that Komandorski and Kottinger had been worthwhile pro- jects in the past and would continue to be assets to the community in the future. Mr. Neely advised that the Housing Authority is again going to discuss the Komandor- ski project with HID and the architect in an attempt to reduce costs. Mr. William Kovac, 3124 Weymouth Court, stated he was opposed to McDouald's Res- taurant because of the traffic problem this business would generate. Mr. Kovac stated that the homeowners in his area were meeting with the new principles of the proposed shopping center to work out various changes to the satisfaction of all involved. He stated the homeowners did not want to delay the project but were not willing to waive away their rights.
