IV. NEW BUSINESS
A. Consideration of forwarding the preliminary Redevelop-
ment Plan to the City Planning Commission and
the Project Area Committee for report and recommendation
through Redevelopment Agency Resolution Nos. 9 and 10.
Mr. Hurlburt reviewed the history of the Redevelopment
Plan, stating that it is required by State legislation
and the framework is, in effect, set up by law. The
job of Wilsey & Ham has been to fill in the framework.
It is now necessary for this document to be transferred
to a local body, such as the Planning Commission and
the Project Area Committee so that they can give input
as to the actual needs and desires of the community.
This constitutes one of the basic reasons for the
Project Area Committee. Their job in this particular
part of the program will be to discuss this document
with the various merchants and property owners in the
Redevelopment Area and transmit their feelings back to
the Agency.
Mr. Hurlburt further advised that because of the time
limit involved, this document had already been distri-
buted to the Project Area Committee resulting in a
successful meeting with them on April 9, 1975, where
George Minturn was selected as Committee Chairman and
Ed Benson as Vice Chairman. A second meeting is set
for April 16, for another thorough review of the docu-
ment and so that the Committee can give their ideas
and thoughts of their constituants.
Another meeting is scheduled for April 21, at which
time, under the present schedule, it will be necessary
for the Committee to approve the document and send it
on to the Agency. The Committee will then have the
additional possibility of giving input because the
document will be going through a hearing process by
the Agency and Council, when they can again give
input on items they would like to see amended.
Mr. Hurlburt advised that the document would then come
to the Agency for action for first approval on May 8.
During the period that the Project Area Committee is
reviewing the document, the Planning Commission will
be duplicating the Committee's efforts. The first
meeting of the Planning Commission will be on April 14,
1975, and they will approve the document in one or two
meetings.
The entire schedule is designed to meet a date to be
set in July or August wherein the Agency must file the
Plan and tie down the tax base for tax increment
financing.
Chairman Clark asked if there were any questions for
Mr. Hurlburt by Agency members. There were none.
Chairman Clark then asked for a motion.
Member Aston moved that by Redevelopment Agency RESOLUTION
NO. 9, the Redevelopment Plan be officially transmitted to the
Planning Commission. Member Brush seconded the motion; carried
unanimously.
Member Aston moved and Member Brush seconded that by
Redevelopment Agency RESOLUTION NO. 10, the Redevelopment Plan be
officially transmitted to the Project Area Committee; carried
unanimously.
V. ADJOURNMENT
Member McPherson moved and Member Aston seconded to adjourn
the Redevelopment Agency meeting at 9:00 P.M.; carried unanimously.
