Recommendation:
By Minute Motion: Appoint Heather Buck, Project Coordinator, and identify
the Mayor's appointee, to the newly created ABX1 Oversight Board for the

Redevelopment Agency.
Background:
Assembly Bill X1-26 Community Redevelopment eliminates all redevelopment
agencies in the State of California, effective February 1, 2012. The legislation
contains a number of provisions for the dissolution of the agencies, including the
creation of Oversight Boards consisting of seven (7) members, two of which are
appointed by the City as the successor agency.
The legislation sets forth the parameters for these appointments in Chapter 4 —
Oversight Boards as follows:
Section 34179, (a), 2 — One member appointed by the mayor for the city
that formed the redevelopment agency.
Section 34179, (a), 7 — One member representing the employees of the
former redevelopment agency appointed by the mayor or chair of the
board of supervisors, as the case may be, from the recognized employee
organization representing the largest number of former redevelopment
agency employees employed by the successor agency at that time.
