as submitted
Auto Director Quaschnick reported that following an inquiry by Jim
Dealership Glaze Auto Center as to,the availability of the three-acre site at
Transactions the southeast corner of Texas Street and Oriental Avenue, Agency
staff requested the Agency's economic consultant to provide
information as to similar transactions between auto dealerships
and redevelopment agencies. The Consultant's report was distributed
earlier and is included in the staff report for this meeting.
Additionally, Agency staff requested its consultant to assist in
negotiations due to the firm's considerable experience in assisting
public agencies in implementing auto dealership projects and to
avoid diminishing Agency staff efforts on previously approved
projects. Mr. Jim Glaze, Sr. has requested that the Agency
consider an Exclusive Right to Negotiate for the property. Such

area. Mr. Glaze intends to pursue these franchises during the
negotiating period and without this document, the franchisers will
not consider the subject site as a viable near-term location. Member
