Mayor/Chairman Valles Arrived At 10:01 a.m., Mayor/Chairman Valles arrived at the Council/Commission meeting. It was recommended that areas that generate revenue, as well as areas in which the City had already invested large amounts of money should also be considered. 2 05/13/2003 The Council discussed several areas that they felt should be included on the application such as: Uptown, Arden Guthrie, Baseline, and 40' Street. Ms. Pacheco advised that the application had to include the designated areas in which they would be doing business and the activities they would be funding, and that it must be submitted before June 30 of the current fiscal year. Council Member/Commissioner McGinnis Excused At 10:27 a.m., Council Member/Commissioner McGinnis left the Council/Commission meeting. Council Member/Commissioner Longville made a motion, seconded by Council Member/Commissioner Estrada, that the Mayor and Common Council approve neighborhood areas A-D for use of Section 108 Loan Funds, and that they add Arden Guthrie, the Westside, and Uptown. (The vote was taken following discussion.) Council Member/Commissioner Estrada questioned whether there was some way to stipulate that the focus would be on the areas proposed by staff with attention given to the added areas so they could guarantee some kind of support for those other project areas. Council Member/Commissioner Longville stated that she could amend her motion to add: "that priority be given to those areas where no other resources are available." City Attorney Penman advised that "no other sources" was a very broad term. Council Member/Commissioner Derry requested that the Council consider the expenditures the City is making to the 40' Street Redevelopment Project Area. Council Member/Commissioner McCammack inquired whether the Uptown area could be taken as a separate vote, stating that she would have to abstain due to the fact that she owns property in the Uptown Redevelopment Area. Ms. McCammack explained that the City did not have to spend the money in all the proposed areas as long as they were listed on the application. She stated that staff and the RDA Committee would then have the ability to prioritize the areas based on the variables they had discussed. Council Member/Commissioner Longville recommended that staff bring back the motion including the criteria that will be used to determine the priorities. 3 05/13/2003 Ms. Pacheco indicated that it was not necessary to provide that information on the application. She stated that she only needed the selected areas and the boundaries and she would return to the Council on June 2, 2003, with the specific motion. Council Member/Commissioner Longville amended her motion, seconded by Council Member/Commissioner Estrada, that the Mayor and Common Council approve neighborhood areas A-D for use of Section 108 Loan Funds, adding the Arden Guthrie soccer complex area, the Westside, and the 40" Street Redevelopment Project area.
