That the Redevelopment Agency open a public hearing, receive public testimony and comments, and then close the public hearing; and 2. That, after the close of the public hearing, the Redevelopment Agency approve Resolution No. 526 , approving and adopting Amendment No. 1 to the Third Five -Year Implementation Plan (FY 2004-05 through 2008-09) ("Amendment No. 1"). Executive Summary The Agency previously adopted the "Third Five -Year Implementation Plan (FY 2004-05 through 2008-09)" (the "Third Implementation Plan") for the Agency's four project areas: Project Area No. 1, As Amended, Project Area No. 2, Project Area No. 3 and Project Area No. 4 (collectively, the "Project Areas"). The proposed Amendment No. 1 updates the proposed programs and projects anticipated to be undertaken by the Agency with respect to the Project Areas during the five years covered by the Third Implementation Plan. Discussion: California Health and Safety Code Section 33490 ("Section 33490") requires that redevelopment agencies adopt implementation plans for its project areas every five years, containing, among other matters, the specific goals and objectives of the agency for the project areas, the specific programs (including potential projects), and estimated expenditures proposed to be made during the next five years, and an explanation of how the goals and objectives, programs and expenditures will eliminate blight within the project areas. By Resolution No. 496, adopted on November 18, 2004, the Agency has previously approved and adopted the Third Implementation Plan for the Project Areas. The Third Implementation Plan sets forth proposed programs and projects anticipated to be undertaken by the Agency with respect to the Project Areas during fiscal years 2004-05 and 2008-09. Staff recently reviewed the current status of development for each Project Area and identified a number of potential projects which were not included in the Third Implementation Plan. The proposed Amendment No. 1 will, in effect, update the Third Implementation Plan. Amendment No. 1 will expand the lists of potential projects to be undertaken by the Agency in the Project Areas. The approval by the Agency of the Amendment does not commit the Agency to undertake any particular project. If the Agency, at a later time, finds that specific projects will have to be modified, the Third Implementation Plan, as amended by the Amendment, contains language that will provide the Agency with flexibility to modify such projects. Staff is recommending that the Agency hold the public hearing, adopt its resolution approving and adopting Amendment No. 1 to the Third Five -Year Implementation Plan (FY 2004-05 through 2008-09).

The Third Implementation was adopted on November 18, 2004, after a public hearing, pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 33490. The Implementation Plan included lists of certain programs and projects anticipated to be undertaken by the Agency with respect to each Project Area during fiscal years 2004-05 through 2008-09. This Amendment updates such lists of programs and projects. About the Proqrams and Proiects Generally Except as expressly stated herein, the programs and projects identified below in this Amendment represent potential programs and projects that the Agency may undertake through fiscal year 2008-09, in addition to (and do not replace) those originally listed in the Third Implementation Plan. These potential programs and projects are consistent with the Agency's goals and objectives with respect to the Project Areas as stated in the Third Implementation Plan. The Third Implementation Plan as originally adopted and this Amendment, together, provide an expansive list of potential Agency undertakings. During the five-year period covered by the Third Implementation Plan and this Amendment, it is possible that the Agency will undertake some but not all of the listed projects. All costs and time frames listed for the programs and projects are estimates only and may differ from the actual costs and time frames. In the event that a program or a project is included in the list for one Project Area but is not included in the list of another Project Area (or other Project Areas), but the Agency later determines that the program or project would also benefit the latter, the Agency may use funds available from the latter Project Area (or Project Areas) to finance all or a portion of such program or project. Specific projects may also be modified or added depending on actual circumstances, including but not limited to changing needs of the Project Areas, actual costs of the projects and the availability of funding. The Third Implementation Plan will not be further amended as the result of any such addition or modification, so long as the projects are: (1) permitted by the Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.), (2) consistent with the Redevelopment Plan of the related Project Area, and (3) consistent with the goals and objectives set forth in the Third Implementation Plan.
