ACTION ITEM 1. CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO NEGOTIATE FOR REAL PROPERTY FOR A CHULA VISTA AUTO PARK DIRECTIONAL SIGN Principal Community Development Specialist Ruiz gave an overview of the proposed two-party agreement. Agencymember Castaneda expressed concern about the visibility of the sign at the proposed location and the groundwork done to adequately assure the Agency, neighbors, and auto dealers that the sign would be delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner. Redevelopment Manager Crockett replied that staff believed the priority was to seek a feasible site. Of the three options evaluated, the proposed site was the most feasible, the closest to the freeway, and within the redevelopment area. Agencymember Castaneda asked staff to provide a more technical description of the type of sign being recommended and the financial investment by the City when the item comes back to the Agency. Agencymember Rindone stated that there was a proposal by a private vendor to perform the work for the proposed project at no cost, and he questioned why it was ruled out. Mr. Ruiz responded that the proposal had not been ruled out, but as part of the public process, the City was obligated under the owner participation agreement to weigh the merits of the current proposal, as well as other proposals that may be made in the future.
