BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REPORTS: Chairperson O'Malley requests the Board reconsideration of Item B-1 of the April 27, 2004 meeting as follows: 1. Redevelopment Plan Amendment: ■ Fiscal impact: There is a minor fiscal impact associated with public noticing and consultant and counsel review of the proposed amendments to the Redevelopment Plan. ■ Staff recommendation: Board consider and approve the proposed amendments to the Redevelopment Plan and forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council to hold appropriate hearings and amend the Redevelopment Plan. (Executive Director) Executive Director Wade McKinney gave a brief explanation of the Redevelopment Plan Amendment and answered questions of the Board. Chairperson O'Malley expressed his support for a unanimous vote on this item in the future. Board Member Scalise stated she believes eminent domain is an excellent tool and will not be used too liberally. She thinks eminent domain is necessary to help businesses thrive in the downtown and she is in favor of a unanimous vote. Board Member Pacas stated that current and future downtown business owners could see this as a threat to their property or business. Board Member Luna agreed with Board Member Pacas' comments. He questioned how a boarded up building in the downtown is not blight and how it could be considered a conforming use. Board Member Clay indicated he would have preferred to have a super vote, but could support a unanimous vote. RDA Draft Minutes 05/11/04 Page 2 of 4 2 2 ITEM NUMBER: RAA -1 DATE: 06/08/04 PUBLIC COMMENT Ann Ketcherside made the following comments: 1) she is concerned that the words "eminent domain" are not mentioned in the agenda, 2) eminent domain is state law and not appropriate for local consideration, and 3) something should be done about people who let their buildings get rundown, but eminent domain would make it possible to legally take someone's property away. Eric Greening stated he agrees with the concerns raised by Board Members Pacas and Luna, and thinks eminent domain would be perceived in the business and residential community as a threat to legal conforming uses. Eric Koberl stated he disagrees with the previous speakers and that the business community does not fear eminent domain; they see it instead as a tool to eliminate blight. Joanne Main asked to hear from staff how eminent domain is being used by other agencies. She sees it as a tool to help with the development of the downtown and is not intended to harm businesses. Chairperson O'Malley closed the Public Comment period. Chairperson O'Malley asked City Attorney Roy Hanley and staff to comment on questions raised by the Board and during the Public Comment period.
