hearing, three communications were received which may constitute written
objections to the Plan. Oral testimony was also received from interested
parties concerning the Redevelopment Plan, the Project and related matters.
Pursuant to the requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law,
Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq., the Redevelopment Agency
Board of Directors is required to respond in writing to these written objections.
Consequently, consideration was continued to this meeting. City Council
Resolution No. 6735, receiving and approving written findings, was prepared in
response to written objections, communications and suggestions received at or
before the joint public hearing conducted for the proposed Redevelopment Plan
for the North Redlands Revitalization Project. Redevelopment Agency Director
Hobbs reviewed the background of the proposed Redevelopment Plan
reiterating there is no right to eminent domain in this Redevelopment Plan.
There were no questions from members of the Redevelopment Agency Board
of Directors. Agency Attorney McHugh advised the members of the City
Council and Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors that the joint public
hearing on this matter was held and closed on June 17, 2008; as such,
testimony in favor or against the Redevelopment Plan for the North Redlands
Revitalization Project may no longer be added to the record of the Joint Public
Hearing. Bill Cunningham addressed Board Members noting he felt the
numbers were inflated, that we were creating our 'own donut hole, " and that
the City is removing a significant amount of money from the General Fund for
basic services. Speaking in favor of the proposal were Paul Foster, President
of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce, and Mario Saucedo from the North
Redlands Vision Committee. (Also see City Council minutes dated July 1,
2008.)
