staff has every intent to negotiate with this property owner to arrive at a mutually
satisfactory agreement for presentation to the Agency Board.
The Deputy Director stated that the Sorrento project, which was formerly an oil tank
storage farm when it was added to the Civic Center Project Area, was determined to be
blighted at that time. He stated that without inclusion of this area in the project area, it is
very unlikely that the Sorrento homes would have been built. He stated that the Agency
does not have the ability to affect Mello Roos taxes, which are a separate financing
mechanism that was put on the tract at the time it was developed to fund the
infrastructure improvements inside the housing tract.
The Director of Finance and Administrative SeNices provided information on the Mello
Roos taxes for the Sorrento project infrastructure improvements.
The public hearing was closed.
The meeting was recessed at 9:00 p.m.
The meeting was reconvened at 9:06 p.m.
The Deputy Director stated that the merger and amendment does not directly affect the
debt position of the Redevelopment Agency. The merger does strengthen the overall
financial position of the Agency, which would facilitate the ability to payoff debt in the
future.

Member Seymore, that the Agency and City Council conduct a Joint Public Hearing to
consider the certification of the EIR and adoption of the Merged Plan. After the close of

the proposed Merged Plan, it is recommended that the Cypress Redevelopment
