Meeting Date 5/19/81
ITEM TITLE: Resolution lo~tTrans-ferring Funds in the Block Grant
Program for Demolition Purposes
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director ~
(4/5ths Vote: Yes~ No___)
At the meeting of May 7, 1981, the Redevelopment Agency approved a schedule for
demolition of the buildings in the Town Centre Focus Area. The Agency was also
advised that Phase 1 of the proposed demolition would be accomplished with Block
Grant funds which must be transferred to a new demolition account. Therefore, it
is my
REcor'1r1ENDATION: Tha t the Counc il
Adopt the resolution transferring $110,000 in Block Grant funds to a new Demolition
Account.
BAORDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to the demolition schedule approved by the Agency, Phase 1 demolition was
advertised on May 14 and will be brought to the Council for the award of a contract
in June. It is estimated to cost $1.10 per square foot to demolish all improvements,
for a total of $110,000.
Demolition of blighted structures was originally planned to be carried out by Focus
Area developer, Dick Zogob, in exchange for a credit towards land purchase. In light
of concern about the blighted structures from the Council and area merchants, it was
determined that demolition could be expedited if the City let the contract. The
developer concurs and will forego the land purchase credit.
It is proposed that Phase 1 demolition be funded by Block Grant funds in order to
improve our "drawdown" of these funds and to reserve Redevelopment Agency funds for
anticipated acquisition costs for remaining Focus Area properties. Demolition of
blighted structures is a permitted Block Grant activity, and the initiation of a
new project is also permitted as long as no more than 10% of the grant, other than
Local Option funds, is transferred.

The Pavement Overlay project has been completed and the funds are available for
other projects. The Neighborhood Center project, after much public input, was
retitled "Neighborhood Facil ities" project in the 1981-82 Block Grant, but no
specific use for the funds has been proposed at this time. If a specific use is
found which requires architectural and engineering services, funds could be trans-
ferred from the 1981-82 Local Option account.
