5. REDEVELOPMENT ITEMS

The letter sequence is out of order due to rescheduling necessities beyond our control. The items are listed in the order presented.

C. Creation of a Citywide Redevelopment Housing Fund

Chris Pahule presented this item to the RAC in which he illustrated the potential creation of a Citywide Redevelopment Housing fund. An in depth conversation took place which covered why this policy is being considered, the benefits of such a policy and exactly what that would mean for the housing funds for the redevelopment area. The RAC will be notified of a redevelopment housing workshop tentatively scheduled for late July.

*A. Economic Assistance Request for the Stockton Boulevard Partnership's Marketing Study

The Stockton Boulevard Partnership asked for a monetary grant from existing tax increment funds to help reimburse costs associated with their Market Study for the Stockton Boulevard Corridor. The funding request was for $5,000 and would be used to offset the $15,000 total cost of a Consumer Spending Survey for the Boulevard. Steve Murrill from Meta Research was present and discussed the construction and mechanics of the survey and answered questions related to the study. Elgin Bradley and John Cranshaw were also present to answer questions about the survey. A vote on the issue was not possible because a quorum could not be reached on this item due to multiple reasons. Several of the RAC members could not vote because their affiliation with the Stockton Boulevard Partnership disqualified them from partaking in a vote on this item. In addition, several RAC members were absent and /or temporarily ineligible to vote due to administrative issues. The remaining group decided that the item should be forwarded to the next meeting.

B. Implementation Plan Presentation

Christopher Golden presented the goals, objectives, and projects for possible inclusion in the 2005- 2009 Implementation Plan for the Stockton Boulevard Redevelopment Area. These goals, objectives, and projects, were the results of meetings with various stakeholders from the community as well as research from our consultant. The list was not the final list of projects, goals, and objectives for the plan but was presented so that the Agency could determine whether or not the RAC felt that we were on target with our list of priorities. The RAC was supportive of the items presented but was informed that the priority list could change. A lengthy discussion period followed the presentation of goals, objectives, and projects for the area. A vote was not required for this item however a formal list of items will be presented to the RAC during the July meeting in which they will be asked to vote.
