This report outlines accomplishments in both the Redevelopment and Economic Development areas. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS Brought Redevelopment Plans Up-to-Date The Agency undertook the amendment of its Redevelopment Plans to comply with recently adopted legislation. AB 1290, which became effective January 1, 1994, required that by the end of calendar year 1994, the Agency's plans be reviewed and where necessary be amended to comply with the new law. Compliance requires that Agency projects relate to the elimination of blight and plan objectives, establishment of Agency financial limits, and time frames for accomplishing Agency projects, and procedures to be followed when the Agency participates financially in a private development project. A five- year plan for all project areas was adopted by the Agency Board on December 8, 1994. Established a Plan for the Development of Section 4 (Desert Willow Project) During the past two years, the Agency has processed a Master Plan of development and Environmental Impact Report , and successfully negotiated purchases of the majority of properties necessary for the project. The Agency has assumed direct responsibility for development of the property by hiring a project manager to direct the every day activities of the project, and has been in the process of negotiating agreements with private developers. Page 1 of 3 Issued Financings to Fund Agency and City Projects The Agency issued a new money financing in 1995 in the amount of $28,115,000 to fund Agency projects, and issued a financing in the amount of $15,100,000 to fund the Desert Rose Housing Project. In addition, Agency staff directed the formation and funding of a Assessment District for the Bighorn Development ($6,945,000); issued the second series to fund the Community Facilities District for Indian Ridge ($12,385,000); and directed a refunding of three City Assessment Districts ($7,540,000). Assumed Responsibility for the City's Economic Development Effort The Economic Development effort has resulted in the completion of an Economic Development Strategy for the City; coordination of an application for funding a fuel cell program for the City; identification and contact with targeted alternative energy/alternative transportation industries; coordination of City effort with those of other cities and a regional agency; and establishment of an inventory of available commercial space in the City. Financed, Funded and Supervised the Budget for the Construction of the Multi-Agency Library Agency staff was part of the team that supervised the design, award of bid, and monitored construction of the Multi-Agency Library. Agency staff was directly responsible for processing change orders and requests for payments drawn on the library construction budget. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE COMING YEAR Complete the First Phase of the Desert Willow Project During 1996-97, the Agency will fund and complete construction of the first golf course. This phase will include the construction of major infrastructure to the total site, a temporary clubhouse, and a maintenance yard. In addition, Agency staff will recommend an agreement with a private developer for development of a major portion of the project. Start the Implementation of Recommendations in the Economic Development Strategy The Economic Development Strategy includes a timetable for each of the three major segments of the proposed effort .. Business Retention and Expansion, Business Revitalization and Business Attraction. During Fiscal Year 1996-97, the survey portions of the Retention Program will be completed and Program recommendations will be submitted for consideration; the areas targeted for revitalization will be identified, and needs will be assessed through intensive contact with the business community; and existing attraction efforts will be expanded to include the identified business groups of medical/health Page 2of3 industry, multi-media, related industries and "back officerr operations. Undertake a Major Review of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Program Such review will include a recommendation to restructure existing debt on both Housing Authority-owned and Agency-owned housing projects; analyze ways to make more efficient use of the housing funds Agency is currently spending; implement a rehabilitation program for Housing Authority-owned, Agency-owned, and privately owned projects. Continue Implementation of the Agency's Project Areas Five-Year Programs Implementation will include financing and reconstruction of the Cook Street Sports Complex; the Highway 111/Deep Canyon street and drainage improvements; and Hovley improvements in Project Area No. 4. Process the development for public parking facilities on El Paseo, in conjunction with the Gardens or El Paseo development. Finalize the acquisition process for the Desert Crossing Project. Review circulation deficiencies within Project Area No. 3 along the Cook Street corridor. Improvements to Hovley Road in Project Area No. 4, and participate with the Project Area No. 4 Advisory Committee to establish priority projects. /. d4 CARLOS L. ORTE A Executive Director Redevelopment Agency CLO:mh:lw Page 3 of 3 MEMORANDUM TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS/CITY CLERK L SUBJECT: GOALS AND OBJECTIVES - 1996 DATE: MAY 22, 1996 Pursuant to direction from the City Council, I have prepared the following list of goals and objectives for 1996: 1. Expand and upgrade the Records Management Program within the City Clerk's Office to better manage and facilitate retrieval of the City's public records. 2. Keep the Art In Public Places Program on track until a new Community Arts Manager is hired. Once the position is filled, emphasis will be placed on establishing and implementing an ongoing maintenance program for the City's collection as well as an effort to better promote it locally and as a part of our tourism promotion. 3. Continue with efforts to better direct the activities of the Promotion Committee, the City's advertising agency, and the News Bureau. Activities of all three should be more organized and accomplished with better cooperation and communication,the lack of which has caused significant concern in the last year. A secondary but equally important emphasis will be made to encourage greater committee member participation than has occurred in the past. Transition of long-term members and the promotion of newer members to key committee and subcommittee positions will aid in this effort. 4. The Visitor Center has been an area where little if any accountability has been achieved in the past, primarily because the City did not require it. In an effort to insure that the City is getting the most for its money, we will be keeping closer tabs on the activity, and a monthly report will be made to the Promotion Committee which will include statistics on the Center's operations for that 30-day period as well as an accounting of expenditures. This information will assist in better evaluating the performance of the Center as well as to give some indication as to whether or not it should remain as part of the Chamber of Commerce or become a function of the City's Department of Community Affairs. 5. Complete the City's internet program and turn this function over to the Visitor Center for operation and monitoring. This program will continue as an activity of the Promotion Committee for better evaluation of the effort and for implementation of upgrades as they become possible. 6. Continue to facilitate the activities of the Civic Arts Committee and to assist the group in its efforts to expand and better publicize its programs which include the summer concerts, the student art and essay contest, a holiday festival which will see the festival of music and the children's book faire combined this year, the north wing gallery exhibits, and others which may be organized throughout the year. 7. The Department of Community Affairs assumed responsibility for the receptionist/switchboard activites last year. Most complaints about that operation have been eliminated, but a continued effort will be made to insure the highest quality of response to the public as possible.

BACKGROUND On October 8, 1992 the City Council approved a performance evaluation policy and system for the three City Council appointed positions of City Attorney, City Clerk, and City Manager. The policy states that the City Council will begin performance evaluations for the appointed positions at the first regularly scheduled meeting in January of each year. Staff is recommending maintaining the current system but postponing the 1996 performance evaluations until January 1997 . With the recent appointments and minor reorganization, Human Resources believes it may be difficult and unnecessary to evaluate the appointed positions this soon. In addition, staff is recommending a modification to the policy to include the Redevelopment Executive Director as the fourth appointed position. Please find attached the modified performance evaluation policy for City Council appointed positions . Staff recommends that the City Council by Minute Motion modify the policy and postpone the performance evaluations for the four appointed positions until January 1997 .

The City Council will set a date for an executive session in which the performance evaluation will be discussed with the full City Council. B. Each councilmember should complete their respective components of the evaluation process. This is to be done confidentially and privately. C.
