Resolution No. 19-2008 authorizing the expenditure of $0,000 in tax increment revenues for a minor rehabilitation of the City-owned residence located at 109 Longford Drive into a Gi ecn Model Home. Manager of Housing and Redevelopment Fragoso advised the City had acquired a house at 109 Longford Drive in 2003 through eminent domain. The house had been leased to Shelter Network, which was unable to find a family large enough to comply with the City's standard requirement. Shelter Network would terminate the lease effective October 31, 2008. Manager Fragoso further explained the City saw an opportunity for this home to be a "green model" that would allow residents to see first hand the variety of green building products available. Green vendors, includin¢ Green Building Exchange and Building Quality Communities, had secured contributions such as solar panels, wood floors, a tankless water heater, windows, roof solar tubes, insulation and paints. In addition, on October 4, 2008, the City in collaboration with FritoLay/Pepsi would have a substantial volunteer workday to paint the house, install new windows and add landscaping features. The house was planned to serve as a green model for approximately one year. During this time, the home would be open to the public for the purpose of encouraging residents to "go green." The house would be available for purchase thereafter. Vice Chairwoman Matsumoto thanked the representative from Frito-Lay for funding and also expressed appreciation to the volunteers who would be participating on October 4, 2008. Boardmember Addiego questioned the process through which the City had initially acquired the property. He further questioned whether residents living near 109 Longford had been notified of the green model project. Manager Fragoso explained the City acquired the property through eminent domain and had compensated the previous owner. Regarding notifying neighboring residents of the green model project planned at 109 Longford, she explained Community Development Coordinator Adams had visited the neighborhood that day to knock on doors, explain the project and leave fliers advising residents of plans. Chairman Gonzalez hoped the home would be available to low-income families after a year's time and Vice Chairwoman Matsumoto added perhaps it could first be made available to teachers or employees of the City.
