Member Rindone directed that staff take this item to the Bayfront Planning Subcommittee for ~'eview and then bring it hack to the Agency. Chair Nader desired staff to ascertain if it would be feasible to have the consultant work in conjunction with the Bayfront Planning Subcommittee. Member Moore noted that the present Corporate Yard site was the key to financing the relocation of the to the new site and that the analysis for land use should go ahead as quickly as possible. Director Goss informed the Members that staff has been encouraged to push ahead with this, but it has been delayed because of the "paint pit'--hazardous materials having to be cleaned up to protect the environment. Secondly, what we are looking for, at this stage, is to develop more information about the property. We should look at a broader scope of information that could be developed from a market analysis of the Corporate Yard property. MINUTES June 20, 1991 Member Rindone stated he saw three interlinked issues, one being the issue Councilman Malcolm raised-go ahead and put the property out to bid so that it can be developed; the second being the question of relocating the Corporate Yard-proceed with this as expeditiously as possible; and the third being to maintain as many options for the Bayfront as possible and at the same time give the Bayfront Planning SubcommiRee the opportlmity to study this issue. Chair Nader asked staff to provide answem to the following two questions: Does the City need to proceed immediately with development of the current Corporate Yard site in order to acquire the funding necessary to relocate the Corporate Yard to its new site? If the City were to integrate the present site with the Bayfront planning process, is it possible to get a better use out of it that would bring more revenue to the City? Director Goss responded that when tiffs item is brought back to the Agency, staff will provide more background information as to how this does tie into the Corporation Yard process.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT Updated Members on latest word from Sacramento on State Budget actions. 9. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Legislative action to amend Proposition 84 in order to allow more flexibility for the use of funds in "sweat eqnity~/homeewner projects rather than just apartment/rentals. Margie Girbes, Housing Coordinator, City of Chula Vista, explained that Prop 84 monies are used for family rental housing. As such, it is a financing tool for not for profit organizations to apply for in order to get financing for family rental housing. If Prop 84 monies are used to finance a project, then it is precluded from being a home ownership project. However, for several months staffhas been in negotiation process with Habitat for Humanity which are proposing to build a "sweat equity" type project and in Woodlawn Park. At present they are trying to building community support. They may be applying for Agency funding support. Staff is actively pursuing "sweat equity~ type project in Chula Vista; however, the cost of land is a major problem preventing these type projects. MOTION [Nader-Moore] Refer to the Legislative Committee for a report back to the City Council. 3-0-1 [Malcolm absent] 10.
