There being no public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed. Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, stated no action was required by the Agency/Council. Staff would forward the Biennial Review to the State. Chairman/Mayor Nader suggested that staff, in addition to keeping in contact with the officials of Scripps/Sharp hospitals, open and maintain contact with representatives of the medical staff. Agency/Council Member Moore questioned whether the City was expecting anything in writing from Scripps regarding their intent on the development agreement. Mr. Salomone stated they were operating under the existing development agreement which was still in effect. It was his understanding that Scripps and Sharp were evaluating the information. They were actively moving through the State Office of the Architect and there were protections in that schedule. It did not '~ mean that at some point the Agency/City would not have to address redesign or merger issues. // ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None ACTION ITEMS 6. AGENCY RESOLUTION 1363 AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A PURCHASE AND SALE AGRRRMENT WITH IGNAZIO AND .IEAN ADAMO FOR THE PURCHASE OF 459 F STREET AS PART OF THE CIVIC CBhYrER MASTE~ PIAN EXPANSION PROJECT--On 4/17/90, Council approved final recommendation for the Civic Center Master Plan. Phase I of the Plan required the acquisition of residential properW at 459 F Street, located immediately west of the parking lot next to Fire Station 1. The site is located in the Town Centre II Redevelopment Project Area and is planned to ultimately be used for the construction of a three- level parking structure for visitors and staff. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Community Development Director) (Continued from the meeting of November 9, 1993) Chairman Nader questioned if it was strictly a purchase agreement or if it involved relocation of existing tenants. Mr. Salomone stated it was a combination of both. The relocation plan was approved by the Agency approximately three weeks ago and the resolution culminated the acquisition and put into effect the closing of that deal by the end of the year. Relocation activities would begin early in 1994. Minutes November 16, 1993 Page 3 Agency Member Rindone questioned what the timeline would be for the construction of the three level parking garage. Director Goss responded that it would be several years in the future. The intermediate action would be to provide at surface parking as there was a significant parking problem at the Civic Center. There had been a lot of discussion about the parking lot several years ago and employees had expressed frustration that nothing had been happening. It was a very important issue for the employees. Agency Member Moore felt it was not only important for the employees it was also important for those visiting and doing business with the Civ/. Chairman Nader stated he was uncertain when the item had been before the Agency/Council, but suspected it was when he had been at the League of Cities. He recalled that several years ago there was discussion by the Agency of purchasing the lot across the street which did not involve any residential relocations. The reason given at that time for recommending against that lot was that a consultant had determined that it would be too far for employees to walk. He did not like residential relocations that were involuntary and had trouble supporting the item. RESOLUTION 136301 BY MEMBER RINDONE, reading of the text was waived, passed and approved 4-1 with Nader opposed. 7.
