SUBMITlID BY, C_"," ",wl~mool ""'~' REVIEWED RY, ~.œ';~ D;.ct"J,(¡ ~ -----" - V- V...Jl ..~ BACKGROUND: Amendment of the Bayfront and own Center Redevelopment Plans are among the priority work items for Community 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, particularly in the Bayfront, due to anticipated development projects which will require redevelopment assistance. The following report discusses the proposed amendments, consultant selection process, and staff's recommendation for award of contract to Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc. RECOMMENDATION: That the Redevelopment Agency adopt the attached Resolution: A, Approving a contract with Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc. for consulting services to 1) amend the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan to add the Chula Vista Tidelands, extend the Plan's 1999 termination date to 2014, and to incorporate the adopted local coastal program land use plan as the Redevelopment land Use Plan, and 2) to extend the Town Center I Redevelopment Plan's 2001 termination date to 2016. B. Appropriating $80,597 from the Bayfront Professional Services Account for said contract. BOARDSICOMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: Staff has been working with Port District staff and tenants toward expediting development of the Port District tidelands west of ROHR. This area was omitted from the original Bayfront Redevelopment Plan since it is under the jurisdiction of the Port District. Recently, City and Port District staff have been discussing the benefits of adding this territory to the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area in order to encourage new development and to provide incentive for redevelopment. ..!J-( - - Page 2. Item .J Meeting Date 05-20-97 In 1996, the consulting firm of Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., (KMAI in collaboration with the law firm of Kane, Ballmer and Berkman were retained by the City for the purpose of determining whether the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan could be amended to include the Chula Vista Tidelands which are under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Unified Port District. Due to the large amount of vacant land on the tidelands and amenities in the area, there was some question as to whether the new blight criteria in the Community Redevelopment law could be met. Keyser Marston's final report determined that the Tidelands area could qualify for redevelopment assistance and could be added to the Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area. Specific amendments proposed at this time include the following: Bayfront Amendment of the Redevelopment Plan to add the Chula Vista Tidelands, comprising approximately 80 acres, to the Project Area. This area is under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Unified Port District and includes a number of blighting conditions which have discouraged development. Attraction of new development in this area will require public assistance. The port District is amenable to inclusion of this area in the Bayfront Redevelopment Project. Amendment of the Redevelopment Plan to extend the 1999 termination date. The Bayfront Redevelopment Project was approved in 1974 for twenty five years. The Project can be extended until 2014 under the Current State law which allows a maximum of forty years. An additional ten years is allowed for the repayment of debt. Amendment of the Redevelopment Plan to incorporate the City's adopted local Coastal Plan. The original redevelopment plan includes a land use plan prepared in the 1970.s which is not in compliance with the City's local Coastal and General Plans, Other provisions of the Plan will also have to be brought into compliance with changes in State law since 1974. Town Centre I The Town Centre I Redevelopment Project was approved in 1976 and is due to terminate in 2001 (25 years from the date of approval). Under State law, this project can be extended to a maximum of 40 years (2016) with an additional ten years to repay debt. Several major projects are currently under consideration in this area which will extend beyond the current expiration date. In addition, the area continues to require staff assistance to generate new developments and secure new tenants. Redevelopment Plan amendments require considerable research, the preparation of documents, reports and notices in compliance with State law, public hearings, community meetings and coordination with the taxing agency. Because recent changes in the Community Redevelopment law concerning eligibility criteria for determining blight require specialized expertise and because the Council has expressed a desire to accomplish the amendment this year, staff recommends that a consultant with the appropriate expertise be retained. J.;1. Page 3. Item J Meeting Date 05-20-97 Consultant Selection Process A request for proposal for the preparation of amendments was sent to at nine professional consulting firms. Three firms responded: Keyser Marston Association Inc., Rosenow Spevacek, Inc., and Katz Hollis. All are respected consultants in the redevelopment field. Proposals were: Keyser Marston Associates $111,400 Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc. 68,780 + mapping & printing Katz Hollis 49,500 + cost of mapping + financial analysis Only three firms submitted proposals; therefore, only one interview session for selection was necessary. On April 25, 1997, a selection committee consisting of two Community Development staff members, one City Planner, and one Principal Management Assistant interviewed the three candidates. The consultants's approach to the amendments (particularly blight findings), experience, schedule, and fees were considered in the selection process. Based on a point system, Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc. ranked the highest. Rankino Results (3= highest and 1- lowest) CONSULTANT INTERVIEW PANEl RATINGS TOTAL #1 #2 #3 #4 Keyser Marston Assoc. (KMA) 1 2 2 2 7 Rosenow Speyaeek Group, Ine, (RSG) 3 3 3 3 12 Katz Hollis 2 1 1 1 5 It was determined that KMA could do the job very well, but, the proposal cost was too high compared to RSG, who could do the job equally as well. All panel members concurred that the team formed by RSG could work very well with City staff and that the project manager, Kathleen Rosenow, has an excellent understanding of the physical and economic blight and urbanization contained in the Community Redevelopment law. Katz Hollis' proposal cost the least up-front; however, their proposal did not include the cost of mapping or economic analysis which would increase their costs significantly. The panel's low ranking of this consultant reflects a concern with their assumptions regarding blight and urbanization findings necessary for the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan Amendment to add the tidelands. Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc. has successfully completed work for the City of Chula Vista in the past, including the Town Center II Plan Amendment and Southwest Redevelopment Plan approval. RSG's last contract for the City was completed in 1994 (Redevelopment Plan); therefore, they have not had an active contract with the City in the last 12 months. ..1-.3 " - . Page 4, Item Æ Meeting Date 05-20-97 An agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and RSG (on the standard two-party agreement form which has been approved as to form by the City Attorney's offices! is attached to the Resolution. The agreement includes the consultants scope of work, amendment schedule, and consultant's fee. A copy of the detailed scope of work, project budget, and tesumes for the project manager, Kathleen Rosenow and project team members, Ramona Castaneda and James Simon are attached as Attachement I of the staff report. A summary of the scope of work follows: RSG will complete a preliminary analysis to identify remaining blight and financial capacities of Bayfront and Town Centre I Redevelopment Project areas to determine how the proposed amendments should proceed. Items such as a land use survey, a field survey of current development conditions, and a financial analysis of each project area will be conducted. A schedule for notices, public meetings, and City actions will be prepared. Tasks 1 through 5 of the detailed scope of work are included in the Preliminary analysis. The actual Amendment Process will follow the preliminary analysis. A preliminary plan will be prepared, taxing jurisdictions will be contacted, and maps will be prepared. Findings of blight in accordance with the Community Redevelopment law will be determined. Redevelopment plan amendments, tax increment projections, and a bond financing capacity analysis for the redevelopment projects will be prepared. Community outreach will be conducted and reports to the Council will be submitted. Once the amendments have been approved locally, ordinances and public documents will be transmitted to appropriate agencies. Tasks 6 through 21 of the detailed scope of work will be undertaken during the Amendment Process. December 31, 1997 is the target date for project completion. The consultant has indicated that the December date is feasible; however, the process will require careful coordination to meet the date. FISCAL IMPACT: The Rosenow Spevacek Group propose to provide the necessary consulting services in accordance with the Scope of Services attached to the attached Resolution for the sum of $68,780 plus $10,000 for mapping and printing services for tidelands if necessary and related to incorporation of the City's local Coastal Program land Use Plan as the Bayfront Redevelopment land Use Plan. Primary Contract $68,780 Mapping and Printing 10.000 TOTAL $78,780 Adequate funds are available in Bayfront Professional Services Account No. 990-9907-5201 to cover the proposed contract. In addition, specialized attorney services may be needed during the amendment process and funding for those services has been included in the 1997-98 budget. Until the City Attorney's staffing needs have been completed, specific funding and source of services remain unknown. The City Attorney's office will provide legal advice for the amendments during the interim. IPBI H:IHOMEICOMMDEVISTAFF,REPI05,20,B7\ROSESPEVIM8Y 15, 199719:018mll .3-4 .. - .. AnACHMENT 1 SCOPE OF WORK The consultant team proposes to provide the following services related to amendment of the two redevelopment plans: I. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS RSG recommends that a preliminary analysis be completed prior to commencement of the amendment process. This analysis will identify the remaining blight and financial capacities of each plan and identify if a Project Area Committee must be formed for either amendment. This analysis would outline the Agency's options with regard to how and when each amendment could proceed. Tasks 1 through 6 which follow outline the services needed to complete the preliminary analysis. TASK 1 . BACKGROUND AND SCOPING MEETING RSG would meet with appropriate Agency staff to review issues pertinent to the amendment of the Redevelopment Plans. The meeting would focus on gathering available project information to determine (a) which termination dates or limits should be extended, (b) what areas of the project areas are still blighted and in need of redevelopment tools/financing, and (c) information needed to calculate the remaining financial capacities of each Redevelopment Plan, Key resource staff members and community participants should also be identified at this meeting for future information gathering. TASK 2 . FIELD RECONNAISSANCE/BLIGHT IDENTIFICATIDN RSG would generate a land use survey of the remaining blighted properties within the two existing project areas, and the 80 acres proposed to be added to the Bayfront Project Area. The field survey would identify the general areas where redevelopment has been completed or will be completed without Agency assistance, where rehabilitation programs may be focused (if any) and where land assemblage or major redevelopment efforts may still be needed. The survey will include tabulation of land use, building/property conditions, specific problems and potential opportunities for each parcel of property. Conditions of both physical and economic blight would be documented as required by Redevelopment Law. TASK 3 - FISCAL CAPACITY ANALYSIS RSG would prepare a financial analysis of each project area. The analysis would include: the level of tax increment collected to date, a projection of the tax increment which could be collected prior to the time when the ability to incur more debt ceases, the existing financial liabilities (debt service, pass through payments, etc,), and the remaining revenues which could be available to the projects areas if the time limits were extended. TASK 4 - INITIAL FINDING AND RECOMMENDATIONS Before proceeding further, RSG would document the remaining financial capacities of each plan and how they relate to the remaining blight to be addressed in each project area. Based upon this information, RSG would make recommendations as to how the Agency can best proceed with the amendments. The recommendation would include which time limits to extend (to incur debt, .ß-S' " -- effectiveness of plan/tax increment collection and/or eminent domain), which caps to increase (if any) and if a project area committee(s) may be needed. TASK 5 . DEVELOP PROJECT SCHEDULE Based upon the outcome of the preliminary analysis, R5G would develop a plan amendment schedule for the completion of the plan amendment process. The schedule will detail each required activity, due date, and responsible party. II. PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS TASK 6 . PREPARE PRELIMINARY PLAN The Plan Adoption/Amendment process begins with the preparation of a preliminary plan that generally describes the need for redevelopment, and outlines the proposed redevelopment projects/programs that would be implemented to address these needs, The preliminary plan is adopted by the agency and then transmitted to all taxing jurisdictions that receive property tax revenue from the proposed redevelopment project. R5G would prepare these plans for review and adoption by the redevelopment agency board or the Agency may opt to reaffirm the Preliminary Plans which were adopted for the original project areas if their content remains pertinent to the proposed amendments. TASK 7 . PREPARE PROJECT AREA BOUNDARY MAP AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION Redevelopment Law requires preparation of an engineered map and legal metes and bounds description of the area proposed to be added to the Bayfront Project Area. The map and description must be prepared in accordance with the State Board of Equalization Guidelines. RSG will subcontract with an engineering firm to complete the required mapping if appropriate mapping is not available from the Agency or the San Diego Unified Port District. TASK 8 . PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE Initial determination is that a Project Area Committee (PAC) is not required. TASK 9 . COMPUTER ANALYSIS RSG has developed a highly sophisticated computer data management system to sort and analyze parcel level information. All data collected during the field reconnaissance will be entered into the system for analysis. Additionally, RSG would collect and import assessor information (parcel number, situs address, owner name and address, valuation, exemptions and tax rate area) for each parcel. Once the input is complete, various datasorts would be run to produce reports needed to prepare required documents; these reports would document existing land use, parcel/building condition, zoning and general plan land uses, current valuation and ownership. RSG will also use computerized spreadsheets to analyze the redevelopment project's overall financial feasibility, J-f. -- TASK 10 . DELINEATE BLIGHTING CONDITIONS Upon completion of the parcel condition datasorts, summaries of urban uses and blighting conditions would be prepared. These summaries would be reviewed with staff and legal counsel and upon their concurrence, maps required by Redevelopment Law would then be prepared, TASK 11 . PREPARE THE REDEVElOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS Once the proposed land use, projects, and programs are outlined, the consultant team will prepare the redevelopment plan amendments for each of the project areas in accordance with the Redevelopment Law. RSG will work with Agency staff to define the scope and nature of implementation activities which will be needed to accomplish project goals and remedy blighting conditions. TASK 12 - OWNER PARTICIPATION RULES/METHOD OF RElOCATION Redevelopment Law requires that a redevelopment agency provide existing property owners and business tenants within a redevelopment project the first right to participate in redevelopment activities. Further, the Law also requires that an agency adopt a plan that sets forth the procedures and financial benefits the redevelopment agency shall provide if existing site occupants must be relocated as a result of a redevelopment project. The Agency should already have these documents for each project area so they may only need to be reaffirmed for the area to be added to the Bayfront Project Area. TASK 13 . FINANCIAL ANALYSIS/TAXING ENTITIES LIST Utilizing current and base year assessed valuation reports prepared by the County Auditor, projections of anticipated tax increment revenue will be prepared. These projections will incorporate trended valuation growth rates based upon review of historical growth activity and analysis of future development opportunities. Other pertinent market data which may become available will also be incorpotated in this analysis. The tax rate areas will also be identified as well as the taxing agencies that levy taxes within them. The projected tax increment revenue will be analyzed to identify the funds remaining for agency redevelopment projects/programs under the revenue sharing requirement prescribed by AB 1290. A bond financing capacity analysis will also be prepared. TASK 14. ENVIRONMENTAL COORDINATION The RFP states that necessary environmental compliance documents have been approved or are in preparation. RSG will coordinate their inclusion in the plan amendment process. TASK 15 . PREPARE THE PRELIMINARY REPORT Preliminary Reports will be prepared for each plan amendment that outline the reasons for the amendment, describe the physical and economic conditions in the project area, preliminarily assess the feasibility of financing the remaining redevelopment projects/programs, and summarize why the amendments are needed and how they will alleviate the identified blighting conditions. The reports will be transmitted to the affected taxing agencies and will serve as the basis for potential taxing agency discussions. ..1-7 TASK 16 - TAXING AGENCY/PUBLIC NOTICES RSG will prepare all taxing agency and public notices, and ensure that they are ready for transmittal in the time frames required by law. RSG will coordinate the printing, assembly and transmittal of the required mailings if the Agency desires; this service is part of the Optional Services in the Project Budget section of this proposal. TASK 17 - COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM RSG will work with Agency staff to coordinate, prepare for and/or attend community outreach programs. In addition to meetings, the Agency may wish to prepare an informational newsletter to be distributed throughout the community. The newsletter would discuss redevelopment in general and the proposed amendment in particular. In the past, RSG has successfully used such meetings and newsletters to promote community understanding and support of the Agency's activities. TASK 18 - PREPARE THE REPORTS TO COUNCIL This is one of the major tasks of the plan amendment process since the reports must include documentation that all the requirements of the law have been met with respect to: 8 the reasons and the need for the plan amendment; 8 proposed projects and why private enterprise acting alone cannot accomplish; 8 the reasonableness of the redevelopment project programs; 8 the blighting characteristics of the project area {both physical and economic}; 8 an implementation plan; 8 the methodology of financing the redevelopment project; 8 the relocation assistance plan and neighborhood impact analysis; 8 evidence of consultation with affected citizens, property owners, and taxing agencies; 8 compliance with CEllA; and 8 preparation of a neighborhood impact report that evaluates the potential redevelopment project impacts on surrounding neighborhoods. This report forms the basis for a defense against legal challenges, if any, to the plan amendment. The report also allows the Agency board to evaluate the financial feasibility and desirability of the proposed redevelopment implementation projects and programs. The consultant team will prepare this report in simple, direct language that is understandable to all reviewing parties. TASK 19 . MAILINGS AND NOTICES RSG, in cooperation with City staff, will prepare property owner, occupant, community organization and taxing agency address lists and mailing labels for the redevelopment project. RSG will assume the responsibility of transmitting these notices. The Agency staff will print, assemble, and transmit notices with the advise and assistance of RSG. $-V 11 -, - - TASK 20 - ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS AND THE PUBLIC HEARING The Project Manager(s) will attend project management team/staff meetings, and Agency board meetings, and the final public hearing. TASK 21 . ADOPTION FOLLOW-UP RSG will assist in transmitting the adopted ordinance to the newspaper for publication, recording necessary documents and mailing necessary final documents to the State, County and affected taxing entities. PROJECT SCHEDULE The RFP indicates a desire to complete the amendment process by December 31, 1997. The base year report for the aD-acre addition will likely not be available from the County until October 1997 which will necessitate holding the public hearings in November at the earliest. The year-end completion goal is feasible, but will require careful coordination. lIPS! H:IHOMEICOMMOEVIRSGEXBTBi .3- , ., -" .. PROJECT BUDGET RSG has prepared the following budget for professional services and other costs necessary to complete the amendments. The budget provides for a not-to-exceed fee of $68,780 for professional services and expenses, excluding optional services; this fee would be charged on a time-and- materials basis. The budget assumes the following: Amendment Processing: Agency Board and/or City Council actions to consider each Project Area's documents will be scheduled at the same meetings except for public hearings and community meetings; these meetings/hearings would be held at separate times.

EXHIBIT B SCOPE OF WORK The consultant team proposes to provide the following services related to amendment of the two redevelopment plans: I. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS RSG recommends that a preliminary analysis be completed prior to commencement of the amendment process. This analysis will identify the remaining blight and financial capacities of each plan and identify if a Project Area Committee must be formed for either amendment. This analysis would outline the Agency's options with regard to how and when each amendment could proceed. Tasks 1 through 6 which follow outline the services needed to complete the preliminary analysis. TASK 1 . BACKGROUND AND SCOPING MEETING RSG would meet with appropriate Agency staff to review issues pertinent to the amendment of the Redevelopment Plans. The meeting would focus on gathering available project information to determine (a) which termination dates or limits should be extended, (b) what areas of the project areas are still blighted and in need of redevelopment tools/financing, and (c) information needed to calculate the remaining financial capacities of each Redevelopment Plan. Key resource staff members and community participants should also be identified at this meeting for future information gathering. TASK 2 - FIELD RECONNAISSANCE/BLIGHT IOENTIFICATION RSG would generate a land use survey of the remaining blighted properties within the two existing project areas, and the 80 acres proposed to be added to the Bayfront Project Area. The field survey would identify the general areas where redevelopment has been completed or will be completed without Agency assistance, where rehabilitation programs may be focused (if any) and where land assemblage or major redevelopment efforts may still be needed. The survey will include tabulation of land use, buildingfproperty conditions, specific problems and potential opportunities for each parcel of property. Conditions of both physical and economic blight would be documented as required by Redevelopment Law. TASK 3 . FISCAL CAPACITY ANALYSIS RSG would prepare a financial analysis of each project area. The analysis would include: the level of tax increment collected to date, a projection of the tax increment which could be collected prior to the time when the ability to incur more debt ceases, the existing financial liabilities (debt service, pass through payments, etc,), and the remaining revenues which could be available to the projects areas if the time limits were extended. TASK 4 . INITIAL FINDING AND RECOMMENDATIONS Before proceeding further, RSG would document the remaining financial capacities of each plan and how they relate to the remaining blight to be addressed in each project area, Based upon this information, RSG would make recommendations as to how the Agency can best proceed with the amendments. The recommendation would include which time limits to extend (to incur debt, J-.ic./ effectiveness of plan/tax increment collection and/or eminent domain), which caps to increase (if any) and if a project area committee(s) may be needed, TASK 5 - DEVELOP PROJECT SCHEDULE Based upon the outcome of the preliminary analysis, RSG would develop a plan amendment schedule for the completion of the plan amendment process. The schedule will detail each required activity, due date, and responsible party. II. PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS TASK 6 . PREPARE PRELIMINARY PLAN The Plan Adoption/Amendment process begins with the preparation of a preliminary plan that generally describes the need for redevelopment, and outlines the proposed redevelopment projects/programs that would be implemented to address these needs. The preliminary plan is adopted by the agency and then transmitted to all taxing jurisdictions that receive property tax revenue from the proposed redevelopment project. RSG would prepare these plans for review and adoption by the redevelopment agency board or the Agency may opt to reaffirm the Preliminary Plans which were adopted for the original project areas if their content remains pertinent to the proposed amendments. TASK 7 . PREPARE PROJECT AREA BOUNDARY MAP AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION Redevelopment Law requires preparation of an engineered map and legal metes and bounds description of the area proposed to be added to the Baytront Project Area. The map and description must be prepared in accordance with the State Board of Equalization Guidelines. RSG will subcontract with an engineering firm to complete the required mapping if appropriate mapping is not available from the Agency or the San Diego Unified Port District. TASK 8 - PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE Initial determination is that a Project Area Committee (PAC) is not required. TASK 9 . COMPUTER ANALYSIS RSG has developed a highly sophisticated computer data management system to sort and analyze parcel level information. All data collected during the field reconnaissance will be entered into the system for analysis. Additionally, RSG would collect and import assessor information (parcel number, situs address, owner name and address, valuation, exemptions and tax rate area) for each parcel. Once the input is complete, various datasorts would be run to produce reports needed to prepare required documents; these reports would document existing land use, parcel/building condition, zoning and general plan land uses, current valuation and ownership. RSG will also use computerized spreadsheets to analyze the redevelopment project's overall financial feasibility. .9 - ~S"' TASK ID . DELINEATE BLIGHTING CONDITIONS Upon completion of the parcel condition datasorts, summaries of urban uses and blighting conditions would be prepared. These summaries would be reviewed with staff and legal counsel and upon their concurrence, maps required by Redevelopment Law would then be prepared. TASK 11 . PREPARE THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS Once the proposed land use, projects, and programs are outlined, the consultant team will prepare the redevelopment plan amendments for each of the project areas in accordance with the Redevelopment Law. RSG will work with Agency staff to define the scope and nature of implementation activities which will be needed to accomplish project goals and remedy blighting conditions. TASK 12 . OWNER PARTICIPATION RULES/METHOD OF RELOCATION Redevelopment Law requires that a redevelopment agency provide existing property owners and business tenants within a redevelopment ptoject the first right to participate in redevelopment activities. Further, the Law also requires that an agency adopt a plan that sets forth the procedures and financial benefits the redevelopment agency shall provide if existing site occupants must be relocated as a result of a redevelopment project. The Agency should already have these documents for each project area so they may only need to be reaffirmed for the area to be added to the Bayfront Project Area. TASK 13 . FINANCIAL ANALYSIS/TAXING ENTITIES LIST Utilizing current and base year assessed valuation reports prepared by the County Auditor, projections of anticipated tax increment revenue will be prepared. These projections will incorporate trended valuation growth rates based upon review of historical growth activity and analysis of future development opportunities. Other pertinent market data which may become available will also be incorporated in this analysis. The tax rate areas will also be identified as well as the taxing agencies that levy taxes within them. The projected tax increment revenue will be analyzed to identify the funds remaining for agency redevelopment projects/programs under the revenue sharing requirement prescribed by AB 1290. A bond financing capacity analysis will also be prepared. TASK 14 - ENVIRONMENTAL COORDINATION The RFP states that necessary environmental compliance documents have been approved or are in preparation. RSG will coordinate their inclusion in the plan amendment process. TASK 15. PREPARE THE PRELIMINARY REPORT Preliminary Reports will be prepared for each plan amendment that outline the reasons for the amendment, describe the physical and economic conditions in the project area, preliminarily assess the feasibility of financing the remaining redevelopment projects/programs, and summarize why the amendments are needed and how they will alleviate the identified blighting conditions. The reports will be transmitted to the affected taxing agencies and will serve as the basis for potential taxing agency discussions. J.4k - - TASK 16 . TAXING AGENCY/PUBLIC NOTICES RSG will prepare all taxing agency and public notices, and ensure that they are ready for transmittal in the time frames required by law. RSG will coordinate the printing, assembly and transmittal of the required mailings if the Agency desires; this service is part of the Optional Services in the Project Budget section of this proposal. TASK 17 . COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM RSG will work with Agency staff to coordinate, prepare for and/or attend community outreach programs. In addition to meetings, the Agency may wish to prepare an informational newsletter to be distributed throughout the community. The newsletter would discuss redevelopment in general and the proposed amendment in particular. In the past, RSG has successfully used such meetings and newsletters to promote community understanding and support of the Agency's activities. TASK 18 . PREPARE THE REPORTS TO COUNCIL This is one of the major tasks of the plan amendment process since the reports must include documentation that all the requirements of the law have been met with respect to: 8 the reasons and the need for the plan amendment; 8 proposed projects and why private enterprise acting alone cannot accomplish; 8 the reasonableness of the redevelopment project programs; 8 the blighting characteristics of the project area (both physical and economic); 8 an implementation plan; 8 the methodology of financing the redevelopment project; 8 the relocation assistance plan and neighborhood impact analysis; 8 evidence of consultation with affected citizens, property owners, and taxing agencies; 8 compliance with CEOA; and 8 preparation of a neighborhood impact report that evaluates the potential redevelopment project impacts on surrounding neighborhoods. This report forms the basis for a defense against legal challenges, if any, to the plan amendment. The report also allows the Agency board to evaluate the financial feasibility and desirability of the proposed redevelopment implementation projects and programs. The consultant team will prepare this report in simple, direct language that is understandable to all reviewing parties. TASK 19 . MAILINGS AND NOTICES RSG, in cooperation with City staff, will prepare property owner, occupant, community organization and taxing agency address lists and mailing labels for the redevelopment project. RSG will assume the responsibility of transmitting these notices. The Agency staff will print, assemble, and transmit notices with the advise and assistance of RSG. j-.3 7 'I -. , .' - TASK 20 - ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS AND THE PUBLIC HEARING The Project Manager(s) will attend project management team/staff meetings, and Agency board meetings, and the final public hearing. TASK 21 . ADOPTION FOLLOW.UP RSG will assist in transmitting the adopted ordinance to the newspaper for publication, recording necessary documents and mailing necessary final documents to the State, County and affected taxing entities. PROJECT SCHEDULE The RFP indicates a desire to complete the amendment process by December 31, 1997. The base year report for the SO-acre addition will likely not be available from the County until October 1997 which will necessitate holding the public hearings in November at the earliest. The year-end completion goal is feasible, but will require careful coordination. lIPS! H:\HOME\COMMOEV\BSGEXBTBJ J-.3f - .,
