anticipated 88 units could be built, but with the acquisition of additional land the
project can now offer 111 units. Manager McCarty further stated the current
estimate is $3,275,642.57 and the Agency will provide "seller financing" for the
Purchase Price and provide funds for predevelopment and project costs. Total
Agency financing is $4,061,000. He went on to state in 2008 the Agency
committed up to $4,039,000 from available funds from the Agency's Low and

now requires $22,000 additional authorization from funds in the Agency's Low

Are there any questions by members of the City Council or the Agency?
None.
Before we proceed with public comments, has the Agency Secretary, staff or

we will now hear testimony from those present concerning the proposed DDA

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Dick Knapp stated he had just spent an hour going over all of the actuals, and
questioned the dollar figure of approximately $6,000,000. stating he determines
each house will cost $237,000 and noted the families are being over charged.
He stated they could purchase a nice house in today's economy for this type of
money. Mr. Knapp declared the numbers provided, did not add up and stated
the Council and the Redevelopment Agency was involved in RICO.
Project Manager McCarty responded justifying the numbers.
The Project Manager from BRIDGE stepped to the podium at the request of
Chairman Buckley to also respond.
Betsy Wilson from Bridge Housing came forward to address Mr. Knapp's
concerns. She stated the cost per unit also includes the purchase of the land.
She gave further detail of expenses: She stated her company has a national
reputation which has been built over 25 years. They are a non - profit company,
and along with the RDA, they have 3rd party audits, which is a requirement of the
financing. She stated the hard cost for construction to build each unit is
approximately $100,000 and gave the breakdown due to applications, fees and
permits.

Agencymember Magee requested Chairman Buckley have Agency Counsel

concurred and made the request.
Agency Counsel Mann stated all of the proceedings regarding this project have
taken place openly and publicly or in Closed Session authorized by the Brown

noted all of the information is public and has been available for inspection for
several weeks and invited anyone to view these documents if they had any
questions. The Disposition and Development Agreement and the Economic
Report have been available for review and support the numbers.

money the RDA is actually putting into the project. Manager McCarty responded,
stating only $4,061,000 at 3% simple interest, noting only 15 percent of the total
project cost is coming from RDA funds. He also stated the Agency's subsidy is
approximately $36,585 per unit.

Acting Administrative Services Director Riley gave an overview of the
Redevelopment Agency (RDA) revenues and expenditures stating the format of
the report was revised. He noted State Proposition No. 8 which is related to
State Proposition No. 13, allows property taxes to be readjusted in times of
economic downturn. He noted that this was the main reason revenues had
dropped 16 percent in tax increment revenue during Fiscal Year 2008 -2009. He
clarified the $4 million which is set aside for the Pottery Court project, should it be
approved, is not an impact to the RDA budget. Funding for Pottery Court if
needed, will come out of the Low and Moderate Housing Fund, not the RDA
General Fund.
Agencymember Hickman questioned Page 3 of 17 regarding the revenues and
expenditures, confirming the revenue is $20 million and the expenses are
$19 million, leaving only $1 million to be set aside. Mr. Riley confirmed this.
Councilmember Hickman then asked if there was any way to slow the expenses
down. Mr. Riley responded, there may be left -over funds from projects when
they are completed that could be set aside, noting $2.1 million is currently
budgeted for these projects.
Chairman Buckley gave an overview of the RDA balances, and stated
Redevelopment money keeps the tax local and pays Bond debt. He also noted
the City could use an economic boost and generally for the 4 of July revenue is
generated for the City. Chariman Buckley offered to pay $15,000. for the
fireworks out of the RDA budget. He estimated by the end of this new Fiscal
Year, the estimated revenue would be $23 million.
MOTION was made by Agencymember Magee, second by Agencymember
Melendez to approve the Operating Budget as recommended.
Chairman Buckley offered a substitute Motion to approve the Operating
Budget and include the expense of $15,000. to pay for fireworks. The
Motion failed for a lack of a second.
MOTION was made by Agencymember Magee, second by Agencymember
Melendez and unanimously carried to adopt the Redevelopment Agency
Operating Budget for the Fiscal Year 2009 -2010 as recommended.
