A discussion ensued. Commissioner Estrada asked Dennis Barlow, Agency Counsel that on the staff report it mentioned that the Agency had two options; (1) to pursue revesting title and sue Burris for speculative profits, or (2) retire the DDA with Burris and enter into a new agreement with the current owners of the property. She said that it was obvious that the latter has been chosen and she wanted to know why this had been done. 2 August 7, 1989 l817R c o o o o Dennis Barlow stated that the DDA required that the property not be held for speculation, nor for profit in resale, but for development and said that, it has been the Agency's intentions to get the property developed. He said that if the property owner sells it at a profit, and the buyer takes the property and also sells it for a profit without developing it first, the property then has increased in value but still there is no development. He said that the way the agreement is set up is that every time that the property is sold the Agency must give approval first, but that in this particular situation the property was sold several times without the Agency being notified or being made aware or giving approval. He said that the Agency's options are to sue T. J. Burris or the owners at that time, and each subsequent Dwner because those agreements show up in the title report. He said that by doing this the Agency would be involved in extensive litigation. He said that the reason why staff is recommending the second option it to get the property developed since the new owner is willing to develop the property and enter into an Agreement with the Agency. Commissioner Estrada made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Renly, to approve the execution of an Owner Participation Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency, Teong Kay and Joyce Kay. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Member Estrada, Reilly, Flores, Minor, Pope-Ludlam, Miller. Noes: None. Abstain: None. Absent: Mauds 1 ey. 6.

COMMISSIONER MINOR RETURNED TO THE COUNCIL TABLE 3 August 7, 1989 l8l7R o o c o o 8. IIatermanlI-10 On-and Off-Ramps A discussion ensued. Mayor Holcomb stated that the general rule in Redevelopment, is that it is always best to have debt. He said that when a grant is involved the project looses tax increments, and that debt creates tax increment thus allowing a continual flow, but that once there is no debt, there is no more tax increment. He said that it was his recommendation to structure the loan as a debt in order to be recognized by the County during auditing. He said that the loan should be from the Agency to the City and and in turn the City will loan it to the project area. Commissioner Miller made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Pope-Ludlam, to commit the 100% loan to the City and the City will loan to Tri-City Project Area as a means of financing the $1,250,000 cost of constructing a new offramp for westbound 1-10 at Waterman Avenue, from Southeast Industrial Park Project Area capital reserves.

Request to initiate Redevelopment Planning for the Mt. Vernon business corridor and adjacent areas. Mr. Steven H. Dukett, Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency addressed the Commission and stated that the basic concept is to get approval of considering a redevelopment plan for the Mt. Vernon Business Corridor area. He said that special meetings need to be conducted by the Redevelopment Committee in the community in order to get Citizens feedback. He said that as a result of those meetings a recommendation will be submitted back to the Commission proposing a survey area. He said that a survey area is a technical term used in the Redevelopment Law which applies to specific geographic areas to be studied. He said that this is the first step by the Mayor and Common Council towards implementing this concept. He said that it does not commit the City to the final adoption of a redevelopment plan, but that it suggests that the survey area can be studied. He said that there will be 12 to 18 months of activity thereafter with considerable community involvement prior to the recommendation of a Redevelopment Project Area being submitted to the Commission for consideration. He said that project areas are selected from survey areas and are often smaller in actual area. He said that this preliminary step would enable staff to begin the socia-economic and physical review of the area. Commissioner Estrada stated she had met with Commissioner Flores and Mayor Holcomb and that together they had outlined a general area that they would like to take to the community for their consideration. She said that instead of selecting the survey area and then going to the community they felt that they could define the boundaries of the perimeters of the area that they wanted tD look at for a survey area. She said that upon working with the community the survey area could be determined, thus facilitating the selection of a project area by having had community input and support all along. She said that this process will get started as soon as staff prepares a schedule of meetings and their locations. She said that as part of the meetings, individuals will be selected who are interested in participating in an advisory capacity to the project area. Commissioner Flores stated that anyone who is interested in becoming involved in this project is welcomed. He said that they are soliciting the public's input. He said that they would like to have residents as well as business owners be involved. Commissioner Estrada stated that although all of the project areas may be of interest to all of the residents of the City, naturally the people that are going to be participating in the advisory committee should probably be individuals who reside in the Mt. Vernon general area. She said that she would hope that residents from that geographic area will actively participate as opposed to general citizens throughout the City. Commissioner Estrada made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Flores, to authorize staff to consider redevelopment survey and planning of the Mt. Vernon business corridor and surrounding area; and refer the matter back to the Redevelopment Committee to conduct community meeting(s) for the purpose of obtaining preliminary survey area boundary recommendations and community support for the formation of a new redevelopment project in the greater Mt. Vernon business corridor and surrounding area. 6 August 7, 1989 1817R o o o o o The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Member Estrada, Reilly, Flores, Minor, Pope-Ludlam, Miller. Noes: None.
