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.

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.
MOTION [Moore-Rind0ne] Trail Item 6 and bring back to an Agency meeting when four members will be

OTHER BUSINESS
8. 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.
