The State of California Community Redevelopment Law states that a project area committee needs to be formed for the redevelopment project area if "a substantial number of low-income persons or moderate-income persons, or both, reside within the project area, and the redevelopment plan as adopted will contain authority for the agency to acquire, by eminent domain, property on which any persons reside." At this same meeting, the Mayor and Common Council adopted procedures for the formation of a Project Area Committee (PAC). The adoption of a PAC is in accordance with Section 33385 of the Community Redevelopment Law. The procedures outlined the make-up of the PAC, how members are elected, eligibility requirements for PAC membership and their responsibilities. On February 5, 2004, Agency Staff sent a newsletter, to all property owners and property addresses within the Central City North Redevelopment Project Area informing them of the proposed plan to amend the redevelopment plan to reinstate the power of eminent domain. The newsletter stated that since the proposed amendment to reinstate eminent domain would include all properties, a project area committee (PAC) would need to be formed. The newsletter also stated that there would be a public PAC formation meeting and a follow-up public meeting for the purpose of electing members to form the PAC. Approximately 1,500 newsletters were mailed out. On February 19, 2004, Agency Staff conducted a public meeting for the formation of a PAC. Four (4) individuals who had interests within the project area attended this meeting. Staff informed them of the purpose of the PAC and what their responsibilities would be as members. Each person was given the approved PAC procedures and encouraged to participate in forming the PAC.
