Seventh Street. Over the past ten years, few projects have received Agency
assistance. This can be traced in large part of the negative financial status of
the Agency. This past year, the Agency moved into the black and this next
year, the agency will have some discretionary funds which could be used for
project assistance. Staff recommended the Agency evaluate each project on its
own merits. In this instance, HondaNamaha of Redlands is an existing
business seeking to relocate and expand its business in the City. Business
retention would be served by assisting this business. Mr. Raley anticipates that
with this relocation, his business will expand and provide increased sales and
employment; he anticipates that the taxable sales will increase to $10 million
annually which will more than triple the current sales tax revenue provided to
the City. The project will maintain an historic structure located within our
downtown and identified in the Downtown Specific Plan. Citing the reasons
above to assist this business, Mr. Haws moved to proceed with the request and
directed staff to prepared the necessary documents for a future agenda of the
City Council and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redlands. Motion
seconded by Mr. Freedman and carried unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the Board of Directors' meeting of the
Redevelopment Agency adjourned at 5:32 P.M. The next regular meeting will
be held on Wednesday, July 5, 2000.
