[Paul Saldana] Mayor / Chairman Johnson commented that Council Member / Board Member Lerno has stepped down due to a conflict of interest as stated at Joint Meeting of June 29, 1999. Council Member / Board Member Clay declared his potential conflict of interest and stepped down. Executive Director Wade McKinney clarified some of the more complicated issues concerning this Redevelopment Plan. He addressed the belief that the Agency is creating debt. He stated that we would not accrue any debt if we formed the Agency and did not take on any projects. Revenue would accrue to the Agency but if it was not used it would go on to the taxing agencies that would have received the original funds. He explained in detail the disbursement of funds. He stressed the fact that the vote tonight would not put us $100 million in debt. He stated an agreement, such as one with the Carlton Hotel, would create debt. CC/RDA 07/06/99 Page 2 of I 1 Approved as submitted DATE: 09/14/99 Council Member / Board Member Luna asked about the significance of Resolution No. 1999-040 electing to receive a proportionate share of pass through taxes for the Atascadero Redevelopment Project Area. Mr. McKinney replied that the City has the option to pass through all of our taxes to the Agency. He stated that with the specified resolution, the City will continue to receive our share of the growth and we will not pass it on to the Agency. Deputy Executive Director Paul Saldana gave the staff report and explained the proposed changes as discussed at the previous meeting including: 1) The use of, and noticing requirements for eminent domain. 2) Increased specificity in the Plan in regard to the focus on downtown revitalization. 3) Identification of specific projects in the downtown area. 4) Addressed the concern that decisions made by the Agency may not meet the objectives of the plan or be the consensus of the decision makers, thereby the community. 5) Other issues including housing funds and the initiation of the Main Street Program separate from Redevelopment. Mr. Saldana stated that received written comments have been responded to. He also answered questions of the Council / Board. Mayor / Chairman Johnson asked for clarification on several aspects of the Redevelopment Plan. He asked how the Plan will deal with entry-level houses. Mr. McKinney replied that the Plan will provide for that particular housing, but it would have to be a rehabilitation of an existing site. Mayor / Chairman Johnson asked if a project comes up that is outside the downtown area in the first five years, can the Agency by unanimous vote, adopt a project. Mr. McKinney stated that, yes, by unanimous vote, the Agency could adopt a project. Mayor / Chairman Johnson asked about our plan in comparison to the Paso Robles plan. Mr. McKinney replied that our plan is much narrower and limited. However, he stated that, in comparison, the Paso Robles plan of today is more specific than ours because they are a mature agency. Mayor / Chairman Johnson also asked about the increment that we would receive from Albertson's. Mr. McKinney stated that the impact would be more than half of a 2 million dollar increment. Mayor / Chairman Johnson asked how viable a Main Street Program would be without a finding source. Mr. McKinney replied that funding for the Main Street Program will promote success, thus they have combined the Program with Redevelopment. Mayor / Chairman Johnson asked if we have cut ourselves off from a "friendly" eminent domain. Mr. McKinney stated that it has been eliminated from this plan. Mayor Pro Tem / Vice Chairman Arrambide stated he visited Paso Robles this last weekend. He asked Norma Moy, who heads the Main Street Program there, how she felt a Main Street Program would do without Redevelopment. She responded that it absolutely would not fly. Council Member / Board Member Luna thanked everyone who took the time to give him their thoughts on redevelopment in Atascadero and apologized to those he was unable to respond to. He stated that his major goal this last week has been to create a consensus document that would get the community behind a goal that most could support. He stated that it would be easy from him to vote "no" on Redevelopment; however, he would like to use this issue as an example of how to bring people together, not drive them apart. He also commented that a consensus plan does not have any real specifics, or a real plan. He stressed that we need this unanimous CC/RDA 07/06/99 Page 3 of 11 Approved as submitted DATE: 09/14/99 provision. He stated in conclusion, that the Main Street Program will fail if the usual political suspects, including himself, attempt to gain control. He asked that everyone please give this consensus plan a chance. He presented some comments on last Tuesday's meeting and basic community goals from the General Plan (see Attachment A). Mayor / Chairman Johnson asked Mr. Deitsch, special counsel, to summarize the Public Hearing. Mr. Deitsch stated that the public hearing portion of the Redevelopment Plan adoption has been opened and closed. He commented that Mayor / Chairman Johnson stated at last week's meeting that there will be an opportunity for members of the public to speak during the public comment period, but their comments will not be part of the official Public Hearing held last week. PUBLIC COMMENT Sarah Rah, 6407 Portola Road, responded to Council Member / Board Member Arrambide about the issue of the Main Street Program.

Robert Nimmo, 7375 Bella Vista, stated he is not aware of any legislative body restricting itself to a unanimous vote. He also stated that he fails to understand why the Redevelopment Plan would be treated any differently. He expressed concern that a requirement to have a unanimous vote for every significant action, would give one member veto authority over any major action the Redevelopment Agency may wish to take. He commented that if that is the price we would have to pay to get redevelopment this year, it may be too high of a price to pay. Kathleen Daly, 10650 Colorado Road, expressed opposition to the Redevelopment Plan. She stated that Atascadero does not meet the requirements that call for a Redevelopment Agency.
