NEW BUSINESS Redevelopment Agency Activity - Executive Director Luebbers reported staff has received inquiries from developers for Redevelopment Agency assistance and suggested the Agency Board authorize staff to proceed to update our Redevelopment Plan to allow us the opportunity to partake in Redevelopment activities. Agency Attorney McHugh reviewed the history of our Redevelopment Plan and informed the Agency Board that in recent years all the Redevelopment Agency has done is collect tax increment, pay off debt, and satisfy low- and moderate-income housing obligations, that our eminent domain power has expired, and we are not currently in a position to provide Agency assistance to developers. Mr. Freedman moved to authorize staff to immediately start the process to provide the maximum amount of authority and power vested by law. Motion seconded by Mrs. Peppler and carried unanimously.
