Councilmember Hickman requested input from Erik Lunde, the current property owner regarding what his plans were regarding the property. Erik Lunde, stated he had filed the appeal giving history of the conflicts. He stated in October 2006 a lessee took the liberty of removing interior walls, all plumbing and electrical systems, and started construction on a major remodel without City approval or Building permits. Once discovered, the City worked with the owner, who evicted the tenant, and stopped the work. The house has been left in this state. He clarified he had been notified by the City starting in 2007 requesting removal of Graffiti and rubbish. He stated he has spent $15,000. cleaning the property, removing trash, boarding up the windows, installing K-rails to prevent future access, etc. The City contacts him periodically when graffiti needs to be removed, which he has taken care of immediately. He thought all issues were resolved. He noted he has received conflicting information from the City, the Planning Department felt keeping the house and incorporating it into the future development was a positive plan. Mr. Lunde stated previously when the original Environmental Impact Report was done; the house was referenced as Historic. He would still like to keep the property, and incorporate it as planned into the future development. Starting in October 2008, Mr. Lunde stated he started receiving notices the property structurally was unsafe and was being placed in Abatement proceedings. Mr. Lunde stated the house is structurally sound. Councilmember Hickman requested verification Mr. Lunde wanted to incorporate the structure into the new development, Spyglass Ranch to which Mr. Lunde responded positively. RDA August 25, 2009 Item No. 2 Page 6 of 20 Lake Elsinore City Council / Redevelopment Agenda Joint Study Session for Agenda Review Meeting Minutes of August 11, 2009 Page 6 of 11 Eric Lunde noted the newspaper stated the house has been vacant for 20 years, which is false. He displayed a letter from the previous owner, Realty Center, Inc. in Lake Elsinore stating from October 1982 to February 2004, "the Villa was leased over those years as a residence and was never vacant in between tenants more than a month or two or so." He stated most of the speculation is who lived there; rumor has Johnny Weissmuller, former Olympian and television actor living and visiting the house. Mayor Magee noted the location of the house has made it a prime focal point when the property is painted as a canvas for graffiti. He noted if the house were to remain, the response time of cleanup needed to be quicker. He questioned Mr. Lunde regarding his plans on He noted previously the plans called for 9 estate lots, now plans reflected only 2 lots. Mayor Magee asked if the building remained; a structural evaluation and proper permitting would be requested, and asked what stage the future project (Spyglass Ranch) was at. Mr. Lunde responded the plans were ready to submit to the Planning Commission in several weeks. Councilmember Bhutta requested Mr. Lunde to keep at a minimum the amount of time City staff would need to spend monitoring the property. Councilmember Hickman responded, noting the staff report states the City has only spent 10 hours to date. Councilmember Hickman requested clarification of what the hours were used on. Building and Code Enforcement Manager Chipman stated the hours were administrative hours, and confirmed when graffiti abatement was needed Mr. Lunde took care of the abatement. Mayor Pro Tem Melendez requested a copy of the letter from the previous owner, which was provided to the City Clerk. Mr. Lunde noted the house lately has received ample exposure in newspapers and has drawn the interest of many. What he would like to receive tonight is clear direction from the Council for the future.

RDA August 25, 2009 Item No. 2 Page 15 of 20 Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency Meeting Regular Meeting Minutes of August 11, 2009 Page 4 of 8 MOTION was made by Agency member Melendez, second by Agency member Magee and unanimously carried to approve the Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan for Pottery Court and adopt Resolution No. 2009-13. AYES: Bhutta, Buckley, Hickman, Magee, Melendez. NOES: None. Passed and adopted the following Resolution: "Resolution No. 2009-013 - A Resolution the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, approving the Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan for Pottery Court, Lake Elsinore, California." PUBLIC HEARING(S) None. BUSINESS ITEM(S) (5) Resolution Authorizing a Commitment of Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds to Provide Financing for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program Recommendation: Approved Resolution No. 2009-14 authorizing a commitment of $898,250. from the Redevelopment Agency's 20 percent Low / Mod Housing Set-Aside Fund for purposes of providing temporary financing for the acquisition / rehabilitation of foreclosed properties within the City of Lake Elsinore pursuant to the County's Neighborhood Stabilization Program and authorize the Executive Director to enter into a loan agreement with the Riverside Housing Development Corporation and related ancillary documents. Agency Counsel Leibold gave a detailed overview of the Program which is a benefit to the City of Lake Elsinore, Riverside County as a whole and the homebuyer. She noted the overall benefits, there would be fewer empty homes in neighborhoods that are sifting empty due to foreclosure, first time buyers have an opportunity to purchase a home, the Redevelopment Agency is meeting their need to offer 20 percent of low to moderate housing and the County and the City is receiving a benefit due to the taxes that will be now paid. RDA August 25, 2009 Item No. 2 Page 16 of 20 Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency Meeting Regular Meeting Minutes of August 11, 2009 Page 5 of 8 Chairman Buckley noted Bruce Kelpa was available to respond to questions as needed. Agency member Melendez had questions for clarification, such as which Agency is responsible for purchasing the homes and for the rehabilitation when needed. She also requested information on how and when the selling price is determined, before or after the rehabilitation. She requested if stipulations could be required by the City for the homes purchased in Lake Elsinore, such as local companies being responsible for the rehabilitation, and if local real estate agencies could be used. Agency member Melendez wanted to know who had oversight of the process, from purchase to rehabilitation to selling; if there was a requirement for the length of time the purchaser had to stay in the house. Her questions were answered both by Agency Counsel Leibold and by Bruce Kelpa from Riverside Housing Development Corporation (RHDC). RHDC is responsible for purchasing and oversight of the rehabilitation. It was not determined if the purchase price (appraisal) was before or after the rehabilitation, however the RDA low to moderate purchasing requirements can not be greater than 25 percent of the purchase price. A purchase Agreement would be required stating the stipulations of the sell, such as the residence must be owner-occupied, they must live at the residence for20 years (eliminates house flipping). It was noted this also provided an advantage for the City and Riverside County to work together, individually, each Agency had less of a risk while providing an advantage to both. It was also noted the market will determine the price of the home, which eliminates risk for each Agency; due to lack of a dictated price. Agency member Hickman had several questions. He requested clarification that RHDC would go to the banks for a listing of foreclosed homes and then would purchase blighted low income homes. He stated his concern for first time home buyers who did not previously have knowledge on how to maintain and manage properly a home. He questioned if there was any type of service for the buyers. RHDC and Agency Counsel confirmed there were classes for all purchasers, from how to manage their finances to home maintenance. RHDC recently opened an office in Lake Elsinore for anyone who had questions or needed information to qualify for homes. Their address is 31641 Auto Center Drive, Lake Elsinore. It was noted the current structure of the loans stipulated the rehabilitation could not be substantial, 30 percent of the purchase price offered a silent second for the down payment. If a house sold for $100,000. there would be a silent second of $30,000 to the purchaser. RDA August 25, 2009 Item No. 2 Page 17 of 20 Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency Meeting Regular Meeting Minutes of August 11, 2009 Page 6 of 8 Agency member Melendez questioned the process for finding homes that would qualify for this program. Chairman Buckley noted many of the foreclosed homes were in need of repair, but the RHDC and the RDA would be interested in the homes that were abused and not battered, again, the limit they could invest into the property could not be greater than 25 percent. They would not be the worst or the best house in foreclosure status. Vice Chair Bhutta stated there was a limit that could be reimbursed, $898,250. to which Agency Counsel Leibold confirmed the dollar limit would effect the number of homes purchased. Agency member Magee noted the private sector is busy buying the best foreclosures, and this program will clean up the other homes in the neighborhood. MOTION was made by Agency member Magee, second by Agency member Hickman and unanimously carried to adopt Resolution No. 2009-14 authorizing a commitment of Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds to provide financing for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program as recommended with the specification of using local realtors, craftsman and labors whenever possible and a 2 year residency requirement. AYES: Bhutta, Buckley, Hickman, Magee, Melendez. NOES: None. Passed and adopted the following Resolution: "Resolution No. 2009-14 - A Resolution of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, authorizing a commitment of $898,250. from the Redevelopment Agency's 20 percent Low / Mod Housing Set-Aside Fund for purposes of providing temporary financing for the acquisition / rehabilitation of foreclosed properties within the City of Lake Elsinore pursuant to the County's Neighborhood Stabilization Program and authorize the Executive Director to enter into a loan agreement with RHDC and related ancillary documents."

City Manager Brady noted a representative from Buxton was not present. A lengthy discussion was held with Council and City Staff. Points of concern were the final companies recommended by Buxton. Staff gave a detailed overview of the selection process to the final determination noting there was a review committee. Council did not agree with the recommended companies noting some of the franchises were previously doing business in the area and due to the economy had since closed their stores. It was determined since the perspective of the City is to "Dream Extreme" business which support this concept should be invited to do business here. Examples were given such as electronics, business who support active sports, such as motorcycles and their accessories and recreational vehicles. Council determined to approve Buxton's recommended companies, and then for the City to send out to prospective business they determine appropriate. MOTION was made by Agency member Magee, second by Vice Chair Bhutta and unanimously carried to approve the ten companies recommended by City Staff and Buxton and for City Staff to pursue the companies that match our "Dream Extreme" logo.
