He informed Council that Mr. Mitchell is one of the fore- most experts on redevelopment in the country and had had a great deal of experience in the matter. In his opinion, Mayor Shenkman believed that the time had come to get started on some type of program regarding redevelopment in the downtown area of the City. Mr. Mitchell would, he believed, be able to give Council some input on the subject. Dick Mitchell addressed Council and staff and stated that he had been involved with Housing and Community Development for the past 25 years in various programs. Mr. Mitchell summarized his past experiences in the field of redevelopment. He informed Council that, together with Pete Wilson, he had been working on some ideas which would give the City the opportunity for growth and at the same time reach the segment of the housing market which has a difficult time getting housing. He stated that his recent career had been more concerned with creating jobs rather than relying on subsidy services and that within the framework of community develop- ment progress there were a great variety of programs. He stressed the importance of knowing what the community would like to happen, from which direction could be taken. Mr. Mitchell referred to the City pier and the old civic center site in particular, using the Santa Monica Pier as a prime example of the problems which the City faced. He spoke of the possibility of the old civic center site becoming a development for senior citizens and low-income families, all of which he believed was feasible. With regard to the Main Street area, Mr. Mitchell stated that he understood that the City staff was exploring the feasibility of rehabilitat- ing some of the older buildings and dressing up the area, relying on the part of private incentive measures which might be utilized. He referred to HUD 312 - Rehabitation Program Facilities, which he believed might be utilized as being the best route to take, since loan money is offered at three per cent. Mr. Mitchell stated that he has heard various considerations of the community redevelopment process but stressed that the process can only carry out a program which the City wishes it. to. In conclusion, Mr. Mitchell stated that he believed there was a tremendous potential for redevelopment, which he believed was a day-to- day occurrence.
