Chair/Mayor Horton asked if there were alternatives to having the monopole system. Mr. Dakan responded that in order to get the type of coverage needed in that area, it required the type of facility being proposed. In some instances, they had gone with smaller facilities, but would end up requiting another location some where else to fill the gap. Chair/Mayor Horton asked if there was any technology in the near future that would make this type of equipment obsolete. Mr. Daken responded that there was always the possibility that the facility could be down-sized in the future. Agency/Councilmember Rindone asked if there had been any concerns expressed by residents and if they had been noticed. Martin Miller, Assistant Planner, responded that there had not been concerns expressed and the residents had been noticed. Chair/Mayor Horton asked how long the special use permit was good for. Mr. Miller stated that there was no specified time limit, but a condition limiting it to five years or three years with a review could be introduced. Staff had done that in other situations. Agency/Councilmember Moot asked if there was a provision in the agreement that if the technology became obsolete the company would have to take it down at their cost. * * * Agency/Councilmember Alevy left the dais at 9:35 p.m. * * * Mr. Miller responded that staff had asked several companies that particular question and normally staff would not include a condition like that because there is no cost benefit to the companies to keep the facility up and running. Chair/Mayor Horton stated that as part of the agreement the permit would expire ten years after the date of approval. After the first five years the zoning administrator would conduct a special review of the special use permit for compliance with the conditions of approval. The City would have the option to decide whether or not the facility should be discontinued or the prqiect otherwise modified. There being no fiarther public testimony, the public hearing was declared closed.

AGENCY RESOLUTION 1509 APPROVING A SHARED LOSS PROPOSAL ON THE AGENCY'S $16,875 LOAN (PRINCIPAL AND EQUITY SHARE) ON SPACE 71, ORANGE TREE MOBILEHOME PARK, 521 ORANGE AVENUE - The heirs of Space 71, Orange Tree Mobilehome Park want to sell the property. The Redevelopment Agency, State Department of Housing and Community Development, Orange Tree Homeowner's Association and a real estate broker have negotiated a shared loss payoff to all parties. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Community Development Director) Agency/Councilmember Moot did not understand how the loan amount changed from $15,200 to $24,191 and asked if no loan payments had been made. Judy Foland, Administrative Analyst II, responded that the loan was due and payable when the property transferred from the owners to their heirs. Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, confirmed that the loan was very low income, what was called a deferred loan which allowed tenants to do the repairs. The loans were generally for elderly people on fixed incomes who had needed code repairs to their units. Funds come from either the Block Grant Program or Redevelopment Agency Low-Mod Program.

AGENCY RESOLUTION 1510 WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS AND APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH KEYSER MARSTON ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR THE PROVISION OF CONSULTING SERVICES FOR AMENDMENT OF THE OTAY VALLEY ROAD REDEVELOPMENT PLAN TO DELETE TERRITORY - Pursuant to recent agreements with San Diego County, staff is proceeding with an amendment to the Olay Valley Road Redevelopment Plan to delete the County Landfill site. To ensure all required reports, hearings, and Council/Agency actions take place, staff is requesting to hire Keyser Marston to review and direct staff work. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. (Community Development Director) Chair/Mayor Horton asked if the work could be done in-house. Mr. Salomone responded that given time, staff could. The issue was one of priorities and staff felt that this was a priority due to the annexation with the County and Otay Ranch being contingent upon this action. The other issue was simply workload and there had been a number of staff vacancies which occurred at the same time. Also, part of the expertise would need to come from the Attorney's office, who were also impacted by vacancies Denise Bickerstaff, consultant from Keyser Marston, stated that they would be providing consultant services, guide staff through the process and assist them with preparing the necessary findings, the reports that needed to accompany the amendment to the plan, and help staff address other issues specific to doing amendments as opposed to doing regular plan adoption. Recent changes to the redevelopment law had put some requirements in place that may affect the project area. Essentially their role was an advisory one to staff. They would be providing models and drafts of cerlain key documents and notices and staffwould prepare the final versions. Staff would do a lot of the writing for the preliminary report and the report to the legislative body which were the two major documents needed for the amendment to be accomplished. AGENCY RESOLUTION 1510 OIq"ERED BY MEMBER/COUNCILM'EMBER ALEVY, reading of the text was waived, heading read, and approved 3-1-1, with Rindone voting no and Padilla absent.
