ADMINISTRATIVE BTJSINESS
3. Resolution No. 6-2010 authorizing the Executive Director to waive rent increases
for Sitike Counseling Center for one year.
Redevelopment Consultant Sanchez presented the staff report explaining that Sitike
Counseling Center rents space from the RDA. Due to the current economic climate the
Center had submitted a letter requesting a waiver and rent reduction. Accordingly, staff
was recommending that the board waive the rent increase.
Boardmember Gonzalez requested that the Resolution reflect a continual waiver of the
escalator.
Chairman Addiego noted the Center had also requested lower rent and questioned whether
the Agency could grant such relief.
Boardmember Garbarino concurred.
Vice Chairman Mullin expressed support for reducing the Center's rent but questioned
whether this would set precedent with respect to other properties.
Director of Economic and Community Development VanDuyn responded the Agency did
not have many commercial tenants so there was relatively little danger in this regard. He
further recommended that the Agency maintain annual review of the escalator as opposed
to granting a waiver.
Agency members agreed maintaining review of the escalator was preferable.
Boardmember Matsumoto joined the meeting and Consultant Sanchez recapped the staff
report.
Executive Director of Sitike Counseling Center Rhonda Ceccatto appeared and thanked the
Agency for considering a rent reduction. She explained the Center was experiencing
increased demand while facing potential staff reductions. Arent reduction could help
alleviate this problem. Accordingly, Ms. Ceccatto requested an 11 % rent reduction on
behalf of the Center.
Agency members agreed on the 11 % figure.
Motion- Vice Chairman Mullin/Second-Boardmember Garbarino: to approve an 11
decrease in Sitike Counseling Center's rent subject to annual review. Unanimously
approved by voice vote.
Motion-Vice Chairman Mullin/Second-Boardmember Garbarino: to approve Resolution
