He demanded the JULY 1, 1997 PAGE 2 City demonstrate the type of blight required by law He presented a videotape displaying areas earmarked for inclusion in the redevelopment area. Heinz Gehner, D.B. Chamber of Commerce President and local business person, spoke in favor of the concept of redevelopment. AMIAnsari asked if another speaker may utilize the balance of Mr. Gehner's 12 minute allotment for speaking in favor of redevelopment. ACA/Susskind responded that the Council and Redevelopment Agency agreed to have one speaker represent each side of the redevelopment issue. If additional speakers are allowed, Council and Redevelopment Agency would be conducting another public hearing. In response to AM/Ansari's question regarding why the Gateway Corporate Center would be considered urbanized, Felice Acosta explained that redevelopment law states that "no more than 20% of a project area may be comprised of vacant, unurbanized property. If a property is surrounded or nearly surrounded by developed property, it may be considered as urbanized." The fact that the property was subdivided and not developed in 9 or 10 years is evidence of economic blight. Therefore, this project meets the test of the law. In response to AM/Ansari's question regarding Mr. Kane's statement that the City will lose $20 million from its General Fund, Ms. Acosta stated that D.B. properties have declined in value in the past three years, The City will receive a pass-through to help offset loss of tax revenue. Approximately 35% of the 100% of increase will go to various taxing agencies, including the City. Of the remaining 100%, 20% will be set aside for housing and the remainder will go to the Redevelopment Agency to conduct redevelopment activities within the redevelopment area. If the City does nothing and commercial property values continue to decline, the City will be in a worse position financially. Residential property values have continued to increase. As a result, D.B. has a very healthy residential community and a very depressed commercial area. In response to AM/Harmony's question as to why Eric Stone's property is included in the project area, Ms. Acosta explained that Mr. Stone acknowledged that there are two legal assessors parcels - the parcel included in the project area contains a large flood control channel, which is developmentally problematic. In response to AM/Harmony as to why the SunCal property adjacent to Tin - Dr, was removed from the project area, Ms. Acosta stated that the property was originally included to facilitate access to the commercial areas as they are developed. However, it was later determined that public access would not be permitted through the area and; therefore, did not meet the criteria for JULY 1, 1997 PAGE 3 inclusion within the redevelopment project area. Regarding the Sandstone Canyon project, which has been approved for private access and is still included in the project area, she responded that the Canyon is included in the project area because of severe geotechnical problems associated with the development. PWD/Wentz explained that in reviewing the Arciero project and as drainage plans unfolded, there were, along the roadway access, some areas of potential landslide. Mitigation measures were addressed and reviewed by the County and others. The project remains in the Redevelopment Project Area due to landslide potential. Ms. Acosta explained that the Patel property is included because of the geotechnical problems. The City has identified properties that have problems that may be rectified by redevelopment. In response to AM/Herrera's question regarding the 20% low income housing obligation, Ms. Acosta indicated that redevelopment law requires that redevelopment agencies set aside 20% of their tax increment dollars to improve low and moderate income affordable housing within their communities unless findings can be made that no need exists, Within D.B., some $ 90 million may be generated over the life of the plan if the projections are accurate. She explained that the County median income for a one person household is $35,900, for a family of four - $51,300. The law allows for housing assistance in many forms (housing rehabilitation, first time home buyers programs, senior citizen housing) for households up to 120% of median income. Funds can be allocated to the L.A. County Housing Authority for distribution. AM/Herrera stated that the City concluded it does not have a large area for construction of new low and moderate income housing. As a result, would the City have the option to utilize other plans throughout the City. Ms. Acosta responded that the City would have the ability to expend dollars to improve housing on a citywide basis as opposed to building housing. Chair/Werner asked who pays if the redevelopment agency project fails. He spoke about the use of bond money versus a "pay-as-you-go" basis and asked whether future Agency Board Members can be precluded from entering into a bond financing program during the life of the Redevelopment Plan. He asked for staff to provide restrictive approaches to eminent domain. In lieu of restrictive approaches to eminent domain, he asked that the use of condemnation in this Redevelopment Plan be prohibited. ED/Belanger stated that if the Redevelopment Project Area is adopted, the loans the City has made to the Redevelopment Agency would be debts of the Agency and increments, as they became available, would be used to repay the debts. JULY 1, 1997 PAGE 4 Ms. Acosta further stated that if the Redevelopment Agency chooses to issue bonded debt; it is a debt of the Agency and not a debt of the City. The bond investor assumes the risk. Many agencies insure bonds or provide Letters of Credit to local banks. AAA/Susskind stated that the proposed Redevelopment Plan includes a clause to preserve the option of using eminent domain in instances where the Agency determines it is a public benefit to do so. Following adoption, the Ordinance and Plan could be amended to remove the power of eminent domain which requires a full public hearing notice or Council could state its policy that it has no desire to use eminent domain and the issue will not be rescinded without a public hearing. With respect to issuance of bonds, bonds are not usually issued until the project area has enjoyed a few years of tax increment receipt to determine that the bond holders can be assured that security exists for any risk they may assume. ED/Belanger stated the Redevelopment Agency has the ability to lower its limit of bonded indebtedness. AM/Ansari asked for identification of the commercial building referred to in the Project Area as requiring "extensive rehabilitation." She asked why the City's Building & Safety Division did not abate the illegal condition, if it exists. She asked if eminent domain could be eliminated from the Redevelopment Plan right away. She asked what types of businesses and buildings would be subject to eminent domain. Further, she asked if the Redevelopment Plan might be more successful if it was held over for an additional 6 months and a public outreach program was conducted. She asked what cities have successful redevelopment agencies and if there had been more public input than there has been in D.B. Ms. Acosta indicated that the commercial building requiring extensive rehabilitation is Assessor's Parcel #8719-010-009 located on Washington Ave. Hitta Mosesman displayed photographs of buildings located in the proposed Project Area which exhibit deterioration and deferred maintenance. AAA/Susskind explained what may occur if adoption of the Redevelopment Agency is postponed. In response to AM/Ansari, Ms. Acosta responded that during the adoption process, communities such as Carson, which has had a successful Redevelopment Agency since 1971, held town hall meetings but did not have Ad Hoc Committees. Burbank's Redevelopment Agency received overwhelming support from the Project Area Committee and the community. Fontana's pian adoption took approximately 2 1/2 years, which adversely affected its success. JULY 1, 1997 PAGE 5 AM/Harmony asked why the City does not enforce its Property Maintenance Ordinance and ask property owners to rehabilitate their properties. He felt that $90 million for low and very low income properties would impact the community. He said the Gateway Corporate Center property is so valuable that property owners are not in a hurry to develop the property and will not sell the property until the values increase. He further stated that politicians do not know how to "pay-as-you-go" and indicated that his research shows that the City's sales tax revenue has increased every year. Ms. Acosta stated that the project area exhibits deterioration and deferred maintenance as well as very strong economic blight. There is a reason the City's commercial property values have declined and vacancies have increased while the residential property values have not declined. The Gateway Corporate Center property owners are actively marketing their sites and have, within the last 3 months, dropped their sales price by 10% to entice buyers because they are concerned about the lack of development potential. The report notes on Page B-19 that the Gateway Corporate Center suffers from depreciated values. With respect to the retail sales, evidence provided to Council clearly shows that D.B.'s retail sales are in decline, especially compared to the surrounding communities. More and more residents are purchasing outside the community and bypassing local merchants. AM/Herrera asked for clarification of "blight" and whether every building within the project area must suffer from blight. Ms. Acosta stated that opponents of redevelopment for D.B. have focused on deterioration. Deterioration is only one element of physical blight. Physical blight - substandard design, lack of parking, lack of access, etc. - and economic blight - depreciating property values, vacancies, high crime rate, etc. - have a number of characteristics. The law requires that a project area must have at least one physical and one economic blight condition to constitute a blighted area. AM/Herrera asked Ms. Acosta to confirm that Redevelopment Agency monies will not necessarily be spent on every building within the project area. Ms. Acosta said that a project area will not generate sufficient revenues to spend money on every property. In the initial years of redevelopment, resources will be very limited. AM/Herrera felt redevelopment would greatly benefit the City and that all commercial areas should be incorporated. Redevelopment Agencies allow cities to enter into more partnerships with local businesses and school districts. Monies could be used for additional sports lighting, building a senior center, etc. If D.B. expects to compete effectively with other cities and retain its businesses, it must have a Redevelopment Agency. JULY 1, 1997 PAGE 6 VC/Huff talked about a 2 -page facsimile being sent to D.B. citizens allegedly from concerned citizens who oppose redevelopment. He felt that to oppose redevelop-ment is to oppose fiscal prudence. Chair/Werner spoke about the positive aspects redevelopment affords including creating incentives to entice businesses to locate in the City.

PUBLIC COMMENTS: Jerry Hamilton reminded the audience about observing Independence Day and encouraged residents to vote In all future elections. Clyde Hennessee expressed opposition to the City supporting non-profit organizations. Barbara Beach-Courchesne said she was not duly notified about the redevelopment public hearing and demanded that tonight's actions be rescinded. She asked when the Redevelopment Agency would repay the money given to it by Council. Dr. Lawrence Rhodes concurred with Mrs. Beach-Courchesne regarding notification. He asked the City to remove dead trees and prune the remaining trees along Washington St. He would like to consult with the City regarding investments and Consent Calendar Item No. 6.6. and commented on United Parcel's delivery service in D.B. Terry Birrell asked why Consent Calendar Item No. 6.4., Voucher Register, was not reviewed by the Finance subcommittee. She requested the item be continued to July 15, 1997 to allow public review. Lydia Plunk spoke regarding Proposition A Funds and the Wildlife Corridor Conservation Authority. Frank Dursa agreed that the Voucher Register (Consent Calendar Item No, 6.4) should be continued for two weeks until it is reviewed by the Finance committee_ He asked if City Hall telephone records are public records. ACA/Susskind stated that, with respect to Mrs. Beach-Courchesne's concerns regarding public notification, owners of record were notified and extensive public notices were published and posted as required by law. She indicated her understanding that Mrs. Beach-Courchesne and her Homeowner's Association is not listed as owners of record of any property within the project area and, therefore, are not entitled to notification. CM/Belanger responded to the request for City Hall telephone records that the City Attorney advised staff that information used by staff or Council to formulate decisions is not available to the public. That notwithstanding, the requesters were informed last Thursday that the telephone records' copies JULY 1, 1997 PAGE 10 were available to be picked up at a specified charge. In regard to the lack of a Finance Committee meeting for review of the Voucher Register, he indicated that there is no legal requirement for a Finance Committee to pass judgement on a Voucher Register. Due to publication of an incorrect date, the Finance Meeting was cancelled. The registers were available on Thursday, June 26, 1997 for public consumption. C/Ansae indicated she examined the Voucher Register on Thursday and she presumed MPT/Herrera also perused the Voucher Register. She requested that the City Manager's secretary notify the Finance Subcommittee members about what had occurred. CM/Belanger reported that the South SR 57 HOV lanes scheduled to be opened in November, 1997, are scheduled for opening on August 15, 1997.
