Sarah Hansen, Redevelopment Manager, introduced this item and explained that the

funding source for these two reports had been changed after the Commission had

already received the staff report and therefore staff requested it be removed from the

Consent Calendar for an explanation of the change in funding source.

 

Sarah said the current report asked for $226, 730 tax exempt bond funds to be

allocated and $363,270 of tax increment funds totaling $590,000 for security

improvements.  She recommended a change where all $590,000 would be tax exempt

bond funds for the improvements at Young, Southwest Avenue and Dewey Boulevard.

 

Sarah introduced Deputy Nate Munzo of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department

to answer any questions from the Commissioners.

 

Mark Stivers asked a question about the use of housing funds exclusively for a project

that he felt was more of a safety project.

 

Sarah said staff could look at that issue, but that staff recommended the funding based

on it being a public housing project.

 

Mark Stivers recommended that we recommend to the City and the County that we split

the cost evenly or at least between the housing and the non-housing side.

 

Deputy Munzo provided the Commission with an update on the security measures

implemented in the Stockton Boulevard Redevelopment Project area and the results of

those measures.

 

The Commission approved the staff recommendation, as revised, for Items #2 and #3

which would change the funding to use all tax exempt bond funds ($590,000) for the

project, with the additional recommendation that the City and the County split the cost at

least evenly between the housing and the non-housing side.  This matter is scheduled

before the City Council on February 14, 2006 and before the Board of Supervisors on

February 28, 2006.

 

AYES:             Burns, Burruss, Fowler, Gale, Gore, Hoag, Piatkowski, Shah, Simon, Stivers.

 

NOES:            Coriano.

 

ABSENT:       None.

 

4.         Issuance of the 2006 Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series A and 2006 Taxable Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series B for the Del Paso Heights and Oak Park Projects and Related Actions

 

Satoshi Matsuda, Finance Director, introduced the item and gave a brief Powerpoint

presentation to the Commission on this item.

ITEMS AND QUESTIONS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS

He also raised a question about the type of business that would be going in at the closed Riverview Deli area.

 

Karolyn Simon asked if information would be brought back to the Commission for approval on the new tenant in the old Riverview Deli location, and Anne responded in the affirmative. 

 

Mark Stivers inquired as to when the Commission would see the next Quarterly Report.  Anne responded that the report will be provided at the first meeting in March.
