Redevelopment Plans are among the priority work items for the Cormnunity Development staff this year. The
purpose of the amendments are to continue blight elimination activities by extending the life of the project areas and
improving their financial ability to undertake necessary projects. Timing of the amendments is important due to
anticipated development prqjects which will require redevelopment assistance. Staff reconunends approval of the
resolution. (Community Development Director) 4/Sths vote required.
Member Salas wanted to know if there was any reason why the Port wasn't contributing to supplement some of the
consulting fees since it was a.joint project with benefit to both parties.
Chris Salomone, Cormnunity Development Director, responded that on the. master planning process the Port, Rohr,
and the City were developing an MOU. On the master planning, we will share equally in the cost; the Port has
agreed to that. This is a redevelop~nent amendment, and the City will retain full nnthority and discretion to use the
tax increment generated. The Port will not have jurisdiction over how that is used, how those development
agreements are done, or what those funds go to pay for. So there is a rationale for us to pay for it because we will
ultimately have discretion. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't ask them, he felt that they will consider doing that.
