Motion - Continued. advice of residents and community organi- zations before the proposed redevelopment plan can be submitted to the City Council. She presented the following alternatives: 1) select representatives from Planning Commission, Parking Place Commission, Historic Preservation Commission and members from residential, commercial and industrial areas; 2) rede- signate the Citizens Review Committee for the Downtown Commercial Rehabilitation Program; 3) staff holds public meetings. Boardmember Nicolopulos stated that perhaps Alternative 3 would be best, because it might be difficult to recruit sufficient people to do the job. Boardmember Drago felt that Alternative No. i would be better, because it was less cumbersome than having public hearings for everything; and all groups would be represented. Vice Chair Halley stated that he also preferred Alternative No. i because it pulls all the bodies and representatives together. Boardmember Addiego stated that he had never been convinced that a person from a board or area necessarily represented the whole body. Chairwoman Teglia stated that she opposed Alternatives i and 2, and supported No. 3. She stated that she felt that there should be two members from each board rather than one, and liked the idea of staff holding public meetings. Vice Chair Halley suggested going with Alterative No. 1, and take the aspects of Alternative No. 3, and make it work by inviting all of the City to meetings. Boardmember Nicolopulos stated that he favored Alternative No. 3 because meetings take a great deal of an indivi- dual's time. 12/14/88 Page 3 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 9. Motion - Continued. Boardmember Drago stated that the Agency had decided eight months ago not to have a committee period, and now the Agency was going completely the other way. Discussion followed: that No. 3 would happen regardless; that this was an important project, and it was critical as to how the Agency proceeded; that because two of the Parking Place Commission established a quorum, only one member of that Board would be required to attend the meeting; all other Boards affected would have two members in attendance at meetings; that this should be taken to the Downtown Merchants and the Oldtown Homeowners Assn., etc. M/S Drago/Nicolopulos - To select Alternative No. 3. Carried by majority voice vote, Haffey voted no. 10.

Request for the Agency to grant Assistant Director Smith related the funds in the amount of $120,000 to following: that the County was the Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition foreclosing on this building and intended to convert the second floor of 222 to turn the building over to Grand Avenue to 11 studio apart- Mid-Peninsula Housing to operate; that a ments, capable local restaurant operator had been secured to lease the first floor restaurant space; that the operator wants to commence remodeling immediately and it would take 60 days to complete if only the first floor is done; the intent is to clean, paint, recarpet and repair as necessary the second floor; that they would prefer to convert the existing 22 single rooms to 11 studio units; (a copy of the staff report is on permanent file in the Clerk's Office). She stated that the conversion to studio units will cost approximately $120,000, and there was an outstanding debt on the building of $800,000 owed to the State and the County, and that was why they 12/14/88 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 12. Request - Continued. were requesting funds from the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. She stated that the State Redevelopment Law requires 20% set- aside of tax increment for low and moderate income housing, and that this project did qualify for Agency funds. Vice Chairman Haffey stated that he liked the concept of the proposal, and knew that the 20% set-aside funds would grow over the years and a planned approach should be established for over requests for these funds. Boardmember Nicolopulos questioned if there could be a stipulation on the approval of funds, that it was a loan that had to be repaid. (Cassette No. 3) Assistant Director Smith stated that repayment could not occur until the building was sold and the State and -- County loans were satisfied. Boardmember Addiego stated that he wanted to look at the downtown property with the idea that the owner go half way in funds for other hotels. She felt that there should be competition for these funds awarded by the Agency. Ms. Fran Waxstaff explained that the pre- sent yearly rental of the rooms by the day and week were $60,000 per year, however, in compliance with State rental guidelines the yearly rental would only yield $36,000. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To approve payment of $120,000 with a the condition that the funds would be repaid if sold, and staff is to come back with a long range program for spending the 20% set-aside for low and moderate income housing.
