Minutes 2003-09-2217 MINUTES CFA REGULAR MEETING OF THE CYPRESS CITY COUNCIL HELD September 22, 2003 A regular meeting of the Cypress City Council was called to order at 5:00 p.m. by Mayor McCoy in the Executive Board Room, 5275 Orange Avenue, Cypress, California. PRESENT: Council/Agency Board Members McGill, Piemy, Sondhi, Mayor/Agency Chair McCoy ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tem/Agency Vice Chair Keenan STAFF PRESENT: City Attorney, Director of Finance and Administrative Services, Community Development Director, Public Works Director, Chief of Police, Recreation and Community Services Director, Assistant Community Development Director, Administrative Services Manager, Housing Coordinator, and City Clerk. The Community Development Director stated that there are currently three Redevelopment Project Areas in the City, which are the Civic Center Project Area, Lincoln Avenue Project Area, and Los Alamitos Race Track and Golf Course Project Area. He stated that under the current provisions of California Redevelopment Law, the three project areas are separate legal and administrative areas. He stated that staff would like the Agency Board to consider potential amendments to the redevelopment plans to accomplish a merger of the three project areas into one, update the project list for each project area, update the plan language in the Civic Center Redevelopment Plan, and consider the potential of adding certain properties within or adjacent to the Lincoln Avenue Redevelopment Plan. The Community Development Director stated that there is a revenue/expenditure imbalance created by the fact that the Civic Center Project Area generates the majority of tax increment revenue but is not where redevelopment needs primarily exist. He stated that a merger of the project areas would allow tax increment funds generated in one area to be spent in any of the other project areas, which would enhance the ability to pursue meaningful redevelopment projects in all of the areas. The Community Development Director stated that redevelopment law allows the merger of the project areas through a plan amendment. There would still be three separate project areas in regard to when they were adopted, and each area would have its own goals and objectives. This process would involve a joint public hearing between the Redevelopment Agency and the City Council, and would take approximately nine months to complete. The Community Development Director stated that the merger would also provide an opportunity to update the project list for each project area, which has not been updated since the original formation of each plan. The amendment would allow the opportunity to address outdated language and land use exhibits in the Civic Center Redevelopment Plan, and would provide an opportunity to add some properties along Lincoln Avenue that were not included with the adoption of the original plan. The Community Development Director stated that adding properties to the Lincoln Avenue Project Area would also marginally increase the cost, He stated that authorization is being sought to solicit a Request For Proposals for consultants to start the merger process, Council Member McGill stated that he was not comfortable having an indefinite time frame for indebtedness. 18 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 22, 2003 The Director of Finance and Administrative Services stated that there is a time limit on the project area for how much time debt can be incurred so there is still an ending time. Felise Acosta, Rosenow Spevacek Group, stated that any time limit would be extended to the end of the term of the plan. When the plan can no longer be implemented, debt can no longer be incurred. Council Member Piemy asked if the properties identified on Lincoln Avenue are interested in becoming a part of the redevelopment project area. The Community Development Director stated the RFP would be sent out and then staff would meet with the property owners on Lincoln Avenue again to provide them more detailed information. It was the consensus of the Council to authorize staff to proceed with a RFP to merge the three project areas and potentially add properties to the Lincoln Avenue Redevelopment Plan. The City Attorney reported that the City Council would be meeting in Closed Session regarding Conference with Legal Counsel - Existing Litigation, pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(a), Quitmeyer v.
