Motion to approve Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Boardmember Yee stated the minutes, page 4, 10th 6/12/96. line down where it says Boardmember Yee stated he would vote no if that was the case - he did not say that. His memory was that Vice Chairman Fernekes indicated that if the parking lot exists as shown on the plan, he would vote no. He asked the Clerk to correct the minutes. Clerk Battaya stated she would listen to the tape and correct the minutes accordingly. Boardmember Penna stated the minutes should have reflected that he did not participate in the discussion. Clerk Battaya stated she showed Boardmember Penna absent and that he arrived at the podium later in the me~ting. Boardmember Penna stated he was present, was not absent and was seated in the audience. Clerk Battaya stated that Boardmember Penna never came up to the podium and she had chided him later that evening on that subject for, unless the Board- member steps up to the podium, he is absent. Counsel Mattas stated Boardmember Penna did come up to him at the last meeting during the dis- cussion of the Giorgi property and asked him whether he should participate after he had indicated earlier that he might have a potential conflict of interest. He advised him to not go on the dais at that point of time. In subsequent conversations with the City Clerk - in future he will ask the Chair for a suspension of the proceedings just to record a Councilman's presence and to indicate an abstention on that item. The Clerk indicated she will add to the record after the 7:48 entry that Councilmember Perma was abstaining from certain items. Clerk Battaya stated, what she said was that she would make known what the City Attorney said on 6/26/96 Page 2 AGENDA ACIIQ_N T_A_K_EN ~ ~0 1. Motion - Continued. the record, however, she showed the Boardmember as being absent and the Attorney is saying the Boardmember is abstaining because he never came up and sat at the podium, says he is here, she takes a roll call, and says he is excusing himself from the podium - which is the regular procedure. Counsel Mattas stated that the Boardmember was present in the room and did not proceed to the dais on his advise, so he would record him as being present and it is important to the Boardmember that his abstention be recorded. Clerk Battaya stated she is in charge of the record by State Code and when and Board or Council Member Penna comes to the podium he is then present at the meeting and she records the time. If he is in the audience, he normally comes in and talks to the City Attorney then goes off - and still has not appeared on the dais, she shows him as absent, shows the time when he stepped to the dais and she did not show the Counsel's comments be- cause, after showing him absent, she could not then show the Boardmember as abstaining when he was not physically there. She told the City Attorney she would reflect his comments on an abstention and correct the $7,000.00 error to $70,000.00 in the minutes. Counsel Mattas stated that is appropriate and it will show Boardmember Penna's intent and they will make sure that situation does not occur in future. M/S Mullin/Penna - To approve the corrected Min- utes of the Regular Meeting of 6/12/96. Carried by unanimous voice vote. 2. Motion to confirm expense claims of 6/26/96. Boardmember Mullin asked about the nearly $900,000.00 expenditure to Tipton Management -- are if they are the general for all these projects for low and moderate income for the Redevelopment Agency. Executive Director Wilson stated that the project is for the Metropolitan Hotel, that is an amount that has been deposited and when Tipton begins con- struction there will be a draw down and admin- istering of funds.

Boardmember Yee asked if the concrete could be softened by planting grass to improve the landscaping. He again expressed concern with the $1.00 lease for 3 years for the ultimate decision is Mr. Giorgi's if he does want the lease after 3 years. He questioned if the City should keep the parking lot and still has a problem with the benefits Mr. Giorgi gets when the City has spent a great deal of money on the parking lot. He stated if Mr. Giorgi has plans to utilize the parking lot, let him demonstrate that, allow it to happen and not wait three years from now to see what he is going to do. Executive Director Wilson stated staff has some direction and in Closed Session there is another subject that will have an impact on this, so he will continue it to the next meeting. 6/26/96 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 3. Resolution - Continued. Boardmember Yee stated he had proposed this to the City Manager, for if Mr. Giorgi has a plan to utilize the parking lot for a commercial development, he wanted him to have the opportunity to expand his business and his customers can still use the parking lot regardless of who controls it. 4.
