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,
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
AYES: Burns, Burruss, Fowler, Gale, Gore,
Hoag, Piatkowski, Shah, Simon, Stivers.
NOES: Coriano.
ABSENT: None.
