Item No. 2: Boardmember Matsumoto questioned the cost of pavers in the Breezeway on Grand Avenue. Director of Economic and Community Development Van Duyn advised the improvements were intended to bridge a 5 - 10 year range, as ultimately there would be additional development on the property. The pavers achieve aesthetic and ADA compliance related functions. In addition the pavers matched the apron of the Miller Avenue Parking Structure, which would add some continuity to the Downtown Area. Item No. 4: Boardmember Matsumoto questioned why additional funds were needed for the project given the current economic environment where prices were generally more favorable. Community Development Manager Fragoso responded that although it is generally rumored that costs are down, it is not her experience on recent bids that this is the case. She further explained the additional advance was necessary because the restaurant owners were unable to complete certain work at the rear of the property, including demolishing, makeshift storage, providing a screen for HVAC equipment and drainage work in the alleyway. Boardmember Matsumoto stated these items should have been caught and factored in at the time of the original loan. Community Development Manager Fragoso stated this was the last loan to the property.

Community Development Consultant Sanchez explained this was the last parcel in an assemblage of properties in the Downtown District that would be acquired for the purpose of developing the area. Boardmember Matsumoto requested clarification on phases planned for future development of the property. Director of Community Development Van Duyn advised that the Board was not being asked to make any decisions with respect to phasing yet, but potential plans for the area if all the properties were acquired included multiple units and restaurant property. Boardmember Addiego commented that the acquisition of the property boded well for revitalization of Downtown Area. Chairman Mullin questioned whether the assemblage of properties would preclude development at the 1St National Bank property for a landmark office type use. Executive Director Van Duyn advised it would not negatively impact potential expansion of the Baden Avenue Side of the First National Bank property.
