PUBLIC COMMENTS: a) Comments re Item 1. Howard Lapham urged that the item be continued, stating that there is no hurry, and offered to meet with the Council , Mr. Strebe, and others, to develop alternative solution to transfer of debt from other project areas. LEGISLATIVE ACTION: 1. PLAZA THEATER FUNDING Recommendation: That the Agency consider making certain findings re allocation of benefit from the Plaza Theatre among various CRA project areas; and allocating outstanding debt related thereto equally to PA1 CBD; PAS Baristo Farrell ; and PA9 Citywide. In answer to question by the Agency, Director of Finance stated that the urgency is that if the debt is not created by June 30, the funds will be lost; that the debt could later be reversed; and that there are some outstanding loans in PAS and PA9, but without this additional debt, the tax increment loss would be about $200,000. Agency Member- Schlendorf stated that she did not understand the necessity for the transfer; that shie understood the flaws of the redevelopment system; that: if the wording is nebulous and unfair, the Agency should pursue with the League of California Cities legislation to make changes to language that is more definitive, and which the Agency could be more comfortable. Chairman agreed that he would not have :structured the project areas as they are, but felt action should be taken, followed by studying the entire issues of redevelopment, including possible revised policies, and if need be, come back and reverse this action. In answer to question by the Agency, Director of Finance reported that Assessment District 157 is not contiguous to PA9; and the Agency has had a long-standing policy not to use property tax increment in residential areas for street improvements; and that $300,000 was contributed by the General Fund toward A.D. 157. Tlk CRA Minutes 6-17-92 Page 2 1. PLAZA THEATER FUNDING (Continued) Agency Member Hodges stated that PA9 is scattered throughout the City, and there would not be a- single project that will benefit the entire P/1,9; and that. "she was disappointed that the issue was not raised as an option when the A.D. 157 was considered, rather than taking funds from the General Fund. Executive Director stated that the reason for not bringing it forward as an option was the policy that residential streets would be accomplished through assessment districts; and noted that the Director of Economic Development is preparing a report concerning each project area, which will be forthcoming in a study session. City Attorney stated that use of tax increment for infrastructure is acceptable, but is easily drained away for such purposes, and when there is an opportunity for use of the increment toward economic growth, the money is not available; that many agencies have similar policies that increment not be spent on infrastructure, rather on economic development activities. It was moved by Lyons, seconded by Maryanov, and unanimously carried, Reller absent, that this matter be continued to June 23, for further review. 2. PA1B8 ' Recommendation: That the Agency approve Disposition & Development Agreement with John Wessman dba Wessman Development Company for acquisition and development of the former Bullock°s property on South Palm Canyon, across from La Plaza. Chairman stated he would abstain due to a client relationship, and turned the meeting over to the Vice-Chairman. Executive Director reported that the agreement has not been finalized, and recommended continuing this matter to June 23. It was moved by Hodges, seconded by Schlendorf, and unanimously carried, Reller absent, and Maryanov abstaining, that this matter be continued to June 23, 1992. 3. 1992-93 BUDGET Recommendation: That the Agency approve continuing appropriations from 1991-92 to 1992-93 fiscal year; and adopt the 1992-93 Agency Budget. Director of Finance reported that the budget resolution identifies expenditures, and is not a part of the larger document dealing with transfers. Resolutions 863 and 864, as recommended, were presented; after which, it was moved by Schlendorf, seconded by Hodges, and unanimously carried, Reller absent, that R863 and 864 be adopted.

PUBLIC COMMENTS: Nome LEGISLATIVE ACTION: 1. PLAZA THEATER FUNDING (Joint haeeting as Agency and City Council) On June 17, the Agency continued consideration of resolution making certain findings re allocation of benefit from the Plaza Theatre among various CRA project areas; and allocating outstanding debt related thereto equally to PA1 CBD; PA8 Baristo Farrell ; and PA9 Citywide; and the City Council continued its companion resolution. Assistant City Manager reported that the action would take the debt owed for the Theater and spread it against the three project areas; that ,traditionally, the Agency has not used tax increment for street improvements, rather limited it to redevelopment kinds of activities; that the Theatre must be purchased by 1998; that the possibility of creating debt in the other project areas was looked at to avoid losing tax increment funds from those areas, and spreading the debt for the Theatre is a legitimate means of doing that; and that the action can later be (124- rescinded. 074) In answer to questions from the Agency, the Director of Finance reported that the tax increment from PA8 and PA9 combined is about $250,000 annually; that the redevelopment plan, which extends over 30 years, sets a ceiling as to how much tax increment can be accrued, however, it is set at very high levels; and that there is existing debt for PA8 and PA9, but the tax increment exceeds the level of debt. Assistant City Attorney Marticorena stated that the tax increment calculation is made on an annual basis, and that if sufficient debt is not shown, the revenue for that year would be lost, although it could be increased the next year; that the project area level of increment is usually set far in excess of what a project area will ever generate; that if debt were set to ever approach that level , then it could not go beyond that amount, but generally it is in excess of what could be expected during the term of the project area; that the redevelopment plan sets forth broad guidelines, and the subject proposal is consistent with those guidelines, and would not be an amendment to the Plan; that finding that the Theatre provides benefit to other project areas is a reasonable finding and consistent with redevelopment law; that it is specifically reasonable finding that it benefits the entire CBD Project Area, and certain areas of PA9, i .e. , those areas relatively close the CBD. CRA Minutes 6-23-92 Page 2 1. PLAZA THEATER (Continued) Mayor stated that the Agency will lose money eventually if it does not have debt for the project area; that he felt the Agency has a responsibility to provide the funds for the previously imposed! obligation to purchase the Theatre; that the City Attorney has indicated this is a legally appropriate means of doing that; that the CBD affects the entire city; that staff will be bringing back a report in the next few weeks which discusses all of the project areas in terms of plans, funds, etc; and that the creation of the debt is reversible. Councilmember Schlendorf stated that she found it difficult to believe that the Agency would actually lose funds, since it has not yet accrued them; that there may be other ' methods of paying for the Theatre in seven years; that she was concerned about moving funds out of a project area, and then assessing property owners for improvements that could have been funded by thoseincrement revenues, e.g. , PA9 street improvements; and that she felt it was being responsible to take the action proposed. Resolution 865 (Agency) and Resolution 17893 (Council ) , approving actions, as recommended, were presented; after which, it was moved by Lyons, seconded by Maryanov, and carried by the following vote, that R865 and R17893 be adopted: AYES: Lyons, Reller & Maryanov NOES: Hodges and Schlendorf ABSENT: None 2. PAIIO - UESSRJU (Former BulVocE,,;°s _Sii:e) On June 17, the Agency continued consideration of approving DDA with John Wessman dba Wessman Development Company for acquisition and development of the former Bullock' s property.
