WORKSHOP (Continued)
Gerald Trimble, San Diego resident, representing Keyser Marston Associates, spoke about cities
with separate public redevelopment agencies; and suggested forming a group of business
partners to provide advice regarding development.
Gary Nordstrom, San Diego resident, provided his background with the Urban Development
Corporation, and provided his perspective on the purpose of the CVRC formation.
Chris Lewis, Bonita resident, former member of the Urban Development Corporation and
CVRC, commented that this was the wrong time to consider disbanding the CVRC. He
commented on the synergy of experts between CVRC Directors and City staff, and their ability
to work with the private sector to market and attract business to the City.
Councilmember Bensoussan stated that she was not in favor of disbanding the CVRC, and she
suggested that the CVRC look at ways to re-define the scope and structure of the organization in
away that would maximize the City's ability to be proactive.
City Manager Sandoval commented on the value of the CVRC to provide knowledge of what it
takes to finance a project, types of construction costs, and creating a strong business network.

City Development Corporation (CCDC). He commented that the current structure of the CVRC
was being under-utilized by the City.

Councilmember Aguilar stated that the City should be focused on finding other ways of
revitalizing the City. She questioned what value the CVRC had added, and stated that there was
no reason for the CVRC to exist as a corporation.
Mayor Cox asked staff about the estimated costs to the City of coordinating a group of
volunteers, and whether associated costs to the City would differ from that of the City's Planning
Commission. She suggested expanding the territory under the CVRC's scope to include the
bayfront. Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director Halbert responded that
regardless of the option the Council chooses to take, the cost of doing business as it's done today
is the cost of the resulting redevelopment, and the added costs of a 501(c)3 was nominal.
Councilmember Castaneda commented on the need for refinement in the development review
process and suggested looking at economics rather than fiscal development. He suggested that
the CVRC provide guidance to the Council on a focused direction for the corporation.
