CRA 2000-08-14MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
CYPRESS REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
HELD
August 14, 2000
Agency Vice Chairman McGill called the meeting of the Cypress Redevelopment
Agency to order at 5:45 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 5275 Orange Avenue,
Cypress, California.
PRESENT:
Agency Board Members Keenan, Sondhi, Agency Vice
Chairperson McGill
ABSENT:
Agency Board Member McCoy and Agency Chairperson
Piercy.
A Joint workshop with the Cypress City Council and Cypress Redevelopment
Agency was presented by Community Development Director Alice Angus. The
items for discussion were Redevelopment Plans Time Limits. The Agency
provides an annual report on the activities and financial status of each Plan Area
within the City. The adopted Redevelopment Plan, which consists of the Lincoln
Avenue and Los Alamitos Race Track Redevelopment Plan and the Civic Center
Redevelopment Plan and Plan Amendment, has time limits to pursue eminent
domain, incur debt, pursue Redevelopment activities, and pay indebtedness.
Within the next year or two, time limits for eminent domain will expire in each
Project Area. It is recommended to direct Agency staff to pursue a consultant
and prepare Amendments to the Redevelopment Plans to extend the time limits
to commence eminent domain proceedings.
Ms. Angus discussed the time limits, extensions, etc. at the request of Council
Member Sondhi and Council Member Keenan. The City Attorney stated that this
is basically a routine administrative measure, as the eminent domain power is not
coextensive with the life of the project area. He reiterated that the intent is not to
use authority, as it is simply an allowance of adequate time for review prior to the
expiration of the time limits.
ADJOURNMENT: Agency Vice Chairperson McGill adjourned the meeting at
6:00 p.m.
