The minutes of the regular meeting of the Redevelopment
Agency of June 6, 1978, were approved as submitted.
Mr. Mitchell brought Council a study made on the effect
Propositon of Proposition 13 on redevelopment. He stated that the
13 Redevelopment Agency now has $1, 768,029 available, of
which some is committed. Mr. Mitchell commended Mr.
O 'Donnell for the charts he had furnished.
Mr. Mitchell further stated that in 1980 the projected
incomes would drop to a minus factor, and at that time
it would be necessary that the City be in a position
w to service the Parking Lease bonds with funds from the
General Fund; the cost would be $577, 800. He added
that a study is being made of the State Constitution
to allow the cities to tax to pay the Redevelopment
bonds.
Mr. Mitchell reminded the Council that in the revision
of the DDA, the Redevelopment Agency has the obligation
to install parking lots and the State Street Park which
indicates that $200.000 is already committed. He added
that the purchase of the Redlands Plaza has a remainder
of $772, 000 due and that the First `frust requirement
Proposition will be taken care of by rent. Mr. Mitchell summed up
13 stating that he recommends a "tight position" or the
alternative of selling the Plaza and recommends that
the City not spend any additional funds so that the
remaining funds can be held to pay the bond service.
He added that this would mean no further commitments
to the East Core.
The Agency members discussed these matters at length
and concurred that there were sufficient Parking Dis-
trict Funds to handle the Redlands Boulevard and Fifth
Street parking lot improvements, but insufficient funds
to consider the decking of the Fifth Street and Citrus
Avenue parking lot. The Agency members also concurred
in a recommendation to the East Core Study Group that
until more information is received from the State, no
further redevelopment monies should be committed.
Mr. Mitchell reported that a major department store
is anxious to develop in the City using Redevelopment
1 aws.
Mr. Mitchell presented a request by the General Tele-
phone Company to exercise their option for renewal of
their lease for another five years . The lease includes
General an escalation clause to cover increased costs. On
Telephone motion of Councilman DeMirjyn, seconded by Councilman
Lease Knudsen, authorization was given to grant this General
Telephone request for an additional five years, pro-
viding the lease was satisfactory to Mr. Kitchell and
Mr. Taylor.
Where being no further business, the Redevelopment
Agency adjourned, on motion, at 4:30 P.M.
Next regular meeting, July 5, 1978.
