Vernon business corridor and appropriate surrounding areas. The preliminary steps required to initiate redevelopment planning consist of the following activities: 1. Develop a detailed schedule of redevelopment planning activities; 2. Develop and issue a Request For Qualifications (RFQ) for professional redevelopment planning services, evaluate qualification proposals and recommend an appropriate planning firm; 3. Develop an Agency staff services plan; 4. Develop a comprehensive redevelopment planning budget and financing plan; 5. Develop citizen participation options. - It is estimated that these activities can be accomplished within the next three months. Subsequently, staff will recommend a detailed action and financial plan for Commission consideration. It is important to note, that a Redevelopment Survey Area will not be initially recommended by staff. Instead, staff believes it is appropriate for the chosen planning firm in cooperation with the Commission appointed citizen's group to recommend appropriate Redevelopment Survey Area options to the Commission at a later time. '- Since it is appropriate that these activities be initiated concurrently with the NArB proposal, it was not possible to first submit them to the Redevelopment Committee for review. However, the matter was discussed with the Committee's Chairperson. It is, therefore, recommended that the Commission authorize the staff activities described above. ,.,- "-" 2
