II
09/2312002
City Engineer Ray Casey introduced key members of the team working on this
project and provided a recap of pertinent activities thus far and an overview of
the resolutions.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated that at the last Redevelopment
Committee meeting, members of the committee had been apprised of extra funds
that had been directed to the Economic Development Agency. She asked
Special Counsel Sabo to comment on the feasibility of using these new-found
funds instead of the $250,000 from the Mount Vernon Corridor bond proceeds.
Mr. Sabo advised that these funds were related to a 1989 bond issue that had a
provision that once the outstanding bonds were less than $5 million there was a
mandatory call, which meant selling off the mortgages, liquidating the
investments, and collapsing the bond issue. Over the last two weeks this had
been done, and the Agency had netted, as of right now, about $2.8 million after
selling off all the assets and paying off the bonds. He added that there is
another phase which will net about $250,000, so the total net should be about $3
million.
Mr. Sabo stated that there was a similar issue in 1989, and the same use
restrictions that applied to the proceeds then, would apply now. He advised that
staff and counsel were researching their prior memos and opinions for
verification of what they did, but it appears most of these proceeds should be
available for general type purposes. He added that some of the funds might be
limited to housing related matters, but most of the proceeds would be available
for other types of uses--so it is very possible they could be used for this project.
Council Member/Commission Estrada requested that City Administrator Wilson
meet with Gary Van Osdel, Executive Director of the Economic Development
Agency, and she would meet with the Mayor, to investigate this possibility.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Anderson, that said resolutions A, B, and C be adopted;
and that the Director of Finance be authorized to amend the FY 2002/03
expense and revenue budget to reflect all grants and SAN BAG project costs
($12,954,200), which excludes the balance of the City and Agency grant match
portions ($385,400 each for a total of $770,800) that the Director of Finance is
authorized to include as part of the FY 200312004 budget process.
The motion carried and Resolution Nos. 2002-312, 2002-313, and 2002-314
were adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members/Commissioners
