REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Action: Resolution 489 adoPted;...\l,/ DESIGNATION OF SURVEY AREA Fanning used a projected map to outline the area that the Lands and Development Committee had decided upon, and which had been augmented by the Chairmans of the Park & Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission. Anything the City might want to consider must be placed into the study area at this time. The Committee recommended that this resolution be adopted. In response to a question from the Chair, the City Manager stated that the Planning Commission will be responsible for this study. Aramburu stated that he had consulted with Superintendent Giovanniello of the Reed Union School District and asked that a special ad hoc committee be formed to meet with school representatives Becker stated that alternatives to redevelopment should be considered; questioned whether redevelopment bonds could be sold without a direct public vote and how does the public voice their opinion; wanted a definition of hardcore blight; and questioned the undis- closed motivations for drawing the boundary lines. The Chair and Fanning stated that the alternatives would be explored by the Planning Commis~ion; and that t~o~e 0uestions will be answered during the survey study. F~nning stated that Dean ~itter had been hired to investigate alternate means, and he objected to the inference of undisclosed motivations. He stated that the Committee did not want to preclude the Planning Commission from any obvious options and that they included as large an area as possible; that it did not impose a freeze or moratorium on the properties. The Committee considered drainage, slide problems, property lines and road lines to give some logic to the map. Aramburu, a member of th0 Lands and Development Committee, stated that he had questions concerning some of the areas but that this was the largest possible area that could be studied and there were logical relationships. Littman read the building code which described a blighted area. Clarence Bullard questioned whether the Southern Pacific Railroad had been consulted. Fanning responded that they had been contacted by the consultants and the Committee would meet with them in a few days. It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Aramburu, that Resolution 489, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL .oF THE CITY OF TIBURJN DESIGNATING ,;, REDEVELOPMENT SURVEY AREA A, be adopted and that this map be included as Exhibit A.

The Chair stated former Mayor Sennett had appointed a committee consisting of Councilman Aramburu and himself, and they would meet within the next week to prepare the preliminary plan, which should contain a description of the land and a general statement of land uses, street layout, population and building densities, ho,", the p-:.:t,rposes of the statute will be met by redevelopment, how the proposed redevelopment conforms to the General Plan, and a description of the impact on the residents and the surrounding neighborhood. NO. 331 Littman furnished a report in writing to the Board that he had prepared on the function and purpose of the Redevelopment Agency. He urged the Agency act quickly because if a plan isn't finalized by December the Agency may lose next year's increment in value for the Agency as far as taxing is concerned. He presented two memorandums to the Agency, one dated October 1 which made a very rough list of suggestions of the kinds of statements that might be included within a Preliminary Plan; and one dated October 9th suggesting the five steps to be taken. He proposed that a draft plan be prepared by October 25 and presented to the Planning Commission. He requested the Redevelopment Agency Committee ~ediately proceed with this, with the assistance of the Executive Director and the Assistant City ~~nager, and they not wait for the return of the Director of Community Development, who is on vacation. The Chair called the Council's attention to the schedule of the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency dated September 12, 1972, and stated according to that schedule the City of Tiburon is now at S~Epll. He stated they have selected the project area, as required, and they now must adopt a preliminary plan for the selection area. The City Manaqe~ advised that the project area is broader than the Do\mto't'lll Plan, and the etaff needs direction and guidelines as to the purposes to be fulfilled by the Redevelopment Agency in the different areas of the project area.

ROLL CALL I. CALL TO ORDER CITY COUNCIL CITY OF TIBUROl'l Littman recommended consulting with the City Attorney on the provisions of Section 33,334 on the proposed method of financing the redevelopment, including total project costs, revenues and any bond issue. Sennett recommended the committee address itself first of all to explaining the project area selected to insure that it is not for open space acquisition or pr~servation purposes. In regard to drainage, t:he committee should take into considera- tion the drainage studie.s and sc.il stability problems t-lhich affect transportation in and OE~ of the downtown area. The Executive Director stated the corr.mittee must consider what portion of thG dC~'Jnt.o\"ln plan th(~ ~'~edevelopment Agency should be responsible for. Becker stated in his opinion the Agency wa.s brought before the Council without staff review, there was no real discussion, no public notice, and the matter did no.t occur as an agendized item. He suggested Tiburon does not fall in the categories for which redevelopment -3.gencies are designed. He stated Hilarita has a developer, Red Hi::'':, has a pri-:..,"'ate owner, and the Tiburon Peninsula Club and the Earmon lands could not be considered as being blighted.

Sennett further requested the report contain an estimate of the cost of each project, discussion of alternates to redevelopment for each project, recommendations with or without expert assistance as to what action the Agency should take regarding special districts, whether the Board should consider seriously entering into any separate agreements with them to tile extent that any plans in this area might place additional requirements on them He further requested a report on the period of time the Agency should last, whether it will be necessary to go to bond, and the alternates to bond. He requested the Executive Director October 23 2 Page 1 , 1973 To a question by Sennett, the Executive Director stated in his opinion there will be no need for outside legal aid for preparing the plan, but if the plan is adopted the Board may decide outside assistance is necessary. The Executive Director stated the Agency staff will have two weeks to complete the plan, which will be a basic plan, and which must be presented to the Agency Board on ~ovember 12. It will then go to the Planning Commission on November 20. The Development Agency Board will then schedule a public hearing on November 26. The Executive Director stated the Board must dis- cuss among themselves what kind of agreements, if any, they want to make with other districts, and, if so, what distribution in terms of payments to them out of Agency funds. The plan must be filed by December 31st, which will freeze the assessed value base and insure that in the next year the Agency will start collecting the taxes levied against the additional assessed value that might be created. Sennett requested staff furnish a time schedule and the steps the Agency Board must follov-l bett-leen not., and the end of the year. The Chair stated the purpose of this meeting is to discuss a report from the ad hoc committee describing the functions to be performed by the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency. He stated the original committee consisted of Fanning and himself, but in the absence of Fanning he met with Sennett and the City Manager to examine the major functions to be performed.

ROLL CALL the I CALL TO ORDER CITY COUNCIL CITY OF TIBURON include on the mailing list all agendized meetings, to be sent to the special districts, including the county. The Redevelopment Planning Director stated the Preliminary Plan could be submitted at a meeting of the Planning Commission on Hovember 6th. Becker questioned not only the proposed schedule for the adop- tion of the Redevelopment Plan, but also the Agency's objectives. He indicated the tight schedule will impose very rigid and burdensome requirements on both the Agency and the staff. In his opinion the Agency should develop more clearly placed responsi- bilities on the individuals involved in the preparation of the plan and the utilization of a critical path flow chart or process for adoption of the plan. The Executive Director stated that he is providing general infor- mation at this point and a more critical analysis ~'1ill be forth- coming. Dr. George Ellman questioned when the Environmental Impact Report will be prepared in connection with the Redevelopment Plan, and urged tile Agency not rush tile process. Sennett stated the Redevelopment Plan itself must be prepared prior to preparation of an EIR. He stated at this time the Agency's present desire is to have an opportunity to analyze and evaluate the Preliminary Redevelopment Plan and the over- all goals and objectives of the redevelopment process. iiotion of Sennett, seconded by Becker, that the report as sub- mitted by the ad hoc committee be adopted and the Executive Director prepare a preliminary plan based on the information submitted in the committee's report, carried: AYES: COUNCILI.iEN: Aramburu, Sennett NOES: COUNCILlillN: Becker ABSENT: COUNCILEEN: Littman, Fanning IV.

Gray responded when the City forms a Redevelopment project and upon adoption of the Sennett questioned whether the Agency could borrow money to meet its obligations rather than go to bond, and then meet its obligations on the loan out of the increment and taxes. Mr. Gray stated this is possible. Sennett questioned whether the right of the Redevelopment Agency to enjoy tax funds doesn't begin until the Agency itself incurs assets or incurs a legal obligation for a debt. r~. Gray responded the Redevelopment Agency as such has no assets to start with, and under normal circumstances no assets until a project is formally adopted by the Agency. From that time on the Agency may have some assets. He stated there is no such thing as tax-freezing. He described the method for arriving at the base tax assessment. To a question by Sennett as to the procedure an Agency must go through to approve a project, Mr. Gray responded there are 39 steps, and it would take approximately three or four months. He stated they would be using 1973-74 assessment base if they used increments or tax allocations accruing to the Agency and to the project if they had indebtedness in 1975-76. l~. John Gray introduced himself, stating he is from Los Angeles and has been in urban renewal development consulting for 20 years. He stated he is primarily involved in the area of admin- istration and fiscal advice to Agencies, and he renders services from the formation to the conclusion of. projects. He stated his fees are on an hourly basis, services plus expenses. The Chair requested he furnish a written report outlining his fees. The Chair recognized the presence of Mr. Vernon Perry, who is now with L. J. Rothschild & Company, and would like to continue in his former position as consultant to the City. He stated Mr. Perry, as financial consultant,. is paid when bonds are sold. As they are not necessarily committed to selling bonds, they are interested in hiring an impartial consultant who will be paid on a retainer basis. He recognized the presence of Mr. John Gray, who has been recommended to the City as a redevelopment consultant. Referring to Becker's letter of resignation from the Agency, the Chair stated upon checking with the legal counsel, it has been determined the Council is designated as the Redevelopment Agency Board and no one can resign from the Board without resigning from the Council.

Gray responded his specialty is Redeve~_opme:.~t. bu';: he does work with different local governments, such as schools, cities, special districts, to assist them. Becker stated in hiG opinion Redevelopment is Littman questioned wheth'~:L IvIJ:'. Gray would recommend the forma- tion of a Redevelopment Ag€ncy, bearing in mind the City has 36 acres of ~ailroad property, very severe drainage problems, a slide problem, the need for a parking garage, and a need for moderate-income housing. Mr. Gray responded these are all proper problems to be hQndled by Redevelopment, but in order to qualify the City must have goals other than financial, such as blight. He outlined the six criteria of blight, which include soia 1 , economic, and physical. Only one is required to be met, and the City could me~t that requira~ent, from what he has observedo As outlined by Littman! Mro Gray rccunmended tl1e City first set forth a very broad proje8t a!~ea and a ve~y broad project descrip- tion in order to qU;11ify for the nex~ year's tax roll increase, and then during the next year ~cfine the projects as they are implemented. He stated the base year for taxes would be 1973, but no money would be available until the next budget. Littman questioned vihl~t.b.er the follc"~7ing were proper redevelopment projects: parking garc.f]e, lal,:,'1sc3ping of public areas that might be involved in the dOvlntc-:'7n area, lights, drainage, provision of housing for moderatc-i:i.1CO:':3 people, particularly City of Tiburon employees and local ~c3idcllts, lighting of public ways. ~1r. Gray responded all these qualify, but in regard to the parking structure, that Cc:Lll , J~ DO t,he Gi~1g1~3 goal of the Agency; and with regard to public hO:l,";ir:g!! it must not be restricted but open to the general publico Sennett referred to the drainage problem and questioned whether this could be solved. I.h:-. Gray responded the Redevelopment Agency is a tool to City Government and there are many projects it can handle by many differGnt methods. Sennett questioned whether Mr. Gray would be prepared to make recommendations to this Agency as to what projects would be appropriate for the Agency, as well as the funding and the estimated cost of this project. r1r. Gray responded from an administrative and fiscal standpoint he is prepared to make suggestions; but he is not a planner and not ~n attorney Sennett questioned if the Cit:-l dces not go to a bond but commi ts itself to proj c::.:t.s :.n the fol.'1n of a quarter of a million dollars and those debts are satisfied within two years by the cash flow, whether that automatically means that is the entire debt of the Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Gray responded it would not receive any tax increm~nts beyond that point. He stated in order that the Redevelopment Agency may receive the tax incre- ments, the County must be notified on a yearly basis that the Agency has the tax increments ccming to satisfy that indebted- ness. Fanning questioned if a City h~d bon1s for 30 years, and at the end of 11 years '~nouJh r.~~:Y}oy \\"'lS accu:rtulated to pay them off, whether the City could CC~;)..tiL.~:~~-=: t::> r2c2~.ve the tax increment. Mr. Gray responded it would go back to the special districts and remain in the Cou~tyc ordinance, at the time of formulating that plan the City formally creates an indebtedness, either back to the City or by notes and bonds. When there is a bond issue, the termina- tion of the bonds will detG~~ine when the City is fiscally out of it. He stated physically most Redevelopment Agencies have a termination of from 25 to 40 years. a powerful tool. Mr. Gray agreed, and stated it 1S a dangerous tool unless properly used. Becker stated before deciding on Redevelopment, he would urge the alternative modes of solving the City's problems be explored. Mr. Gray responded in his opinion Redevelopment is the only vehicle tilat has the potential of oom- bining physical and fiscal modules of accomplishing government goals. He has dealt with special districts and the only satis- factory method is by Redevelopment. Aramburu questioned what otheL option the City might consider or pursue to perform the proposed projects. Mr. Gray indicated Redevelopment can be utilized in the downtown area, but advised that it must be used carefully and with full knowledge of its powers and full disclosure to the public. The Chair thanked Mr. Gray and indicated it would be desirable to have a study or work session with the consultant in the near future to further discuss possible downtown Redevelopment plans. I~. Vernon Perry indicated one of the primary benefits of a Redevelopment consultant's services is to eliminate future debt service. IV.

I. CALL TO ORDER CITY COUNCIL CITY OF TIBURON In response to questions by Aramburu, Mr. McCarty stated they work closely with bond attorneys and they therefore can offer legal advice on the legality of certain projects. He stated they do have experience in working with the school districts and have been involved with the County of Marin on different pro- jects. 14r. McCarty explained the meaning of redevelopment and emphasized it is not a method to get extra money but a means to recover costs put into an area to upgrade it. He stated they do not recommend issuing bondsq but if after a study it is deter- mined to be the most satisfactory method, the bonds can be made payable over a period of 15 years, and there may be enough incoming tax increments to pay them off in a period of five years. Sennett questioned whether the consultant would be able to work in the time frame set out by the EIR consultant and furnish the City with info~ation that could be used by the consultant in the preparation of his report. Mr. l-1cCarty responded this would be possible, and they would also give alternatives; but they would need to know from the City the estimated project area, what it will encompass, and the assessed valuation of that project area at the 1973-74 level of development that might go into that pro- ject so they could determine what it might be able to generate in the way of ; incremental tax income that could pay for the costs of the public facilities, either on a pay-as-you-go basis or in terms of indebtedness by the City. He stated it is their opinion the information could be prepared within four weeks. The Chair thanked the gentlemen for the interview and advised they would be contacting them in the near future. v.

Sennett further requested the report contain an estimate of the cost of each project, discussion of alternates to redevelopment for each project, recommendations with or without expert assistance as to what action the Agency should take regarding special districts, whether the Board should consider seriously entering into any separate agreements with them to tile extent that any plans in this area might place additional requirements on them He further requested a report on the period of time the Agency should last, whether it will be necessary to go to bond, and the alternates to bond.

The Executive Director stated the Agency staff will have two weeks to complete the plan, which will be a basic plan, and which must be presented to tile Agency Board on November 12. It will then go to the Planning Commission on November 20. The Development Agency Board will then schedule a public hearing on November 26. The Executive Director stated the Board must dis- cuss among themselves what kind of agreements, if any, they want to make with other districts, and, if so, what distribution in terms of payments to them out of Agency funds. The plan must be filed by December 31st, which will freeze the assessed value base and insure that in the next year the Agency will start collecting the taxes levied against the additional assessed value that might be created. Sennett requested staff furnish a time schedule and the steps tile Agency Board must follow beoleen now and the end of the year. The Chair stated the purpose of this meeting is to discuss a report from the ad hoc committee describing the functions to be performed by the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency.

He stated at this time the Agency's present desire is to have an opportunity to analyze and evaluate the Preliminary Redevelopment Plan and the over- all goals and objectives of the redevelopment process. Dr. George Ellman questioned when the Environmental Impact Report will be prepared in connection with the Redevelopment Plan, and urged the Agency not rush the process. The Executive Director stated that he is providing general infor- mation at this point and a more critical analysis 1;'\7i11 be forth- coming. Becker questioned not only the proposed schedule for the adop- tion of the Redevelopment Plan, but also tile Agency's objectives He indicated the tight schedule will impose very rigid and burdensome requirements on both the Agency and the staff. In his opinion the Agency should develop more clearly placed responsi- bilities on the individuals involved in the preparation of the plan and the utilization of a critical path flow chart or process for adoption of the plan. The Redevelopment Planning Director stated the Preliminary Plan could be submitted at a meeting of the Planning Commission on November 6th. include on the mailing list all agendized meetings to the special districts, including the county. , to be sent C:':::--.~-:!

Nvr~ No 331 1 October 9 Page I , 1973 The Chair stated former ~~yor Sennett had appointed a committee consisting of Councilman Aramburu and himself, and they would meet within the next week to prepare the preliminary plan, which should contain a description of the land and a general statement of land uses, street layout, population and building densities, how the !:t-'rposes of the statute will be met by redevelopment, how the proposed redevelopment conforms to the General Plan, and a description of the impact on the residents and the surrounding neighborhood. Littman furnished a report in writing to ~he Board that he had prepared on the function and purpose of the Redevelopment Agency. He urged the Agency act quickly because if a plan isn't finalized by December the Agency may lose next year's increment in value for the Agency as far as taxing is concerned. He presented two memorandums to the Agency, one dated OCtober 1 which made a very rough list of suggestions of the kinds of statements that might be included '~lithin a Preliminary Plan; and one dated October 9th suggesting the five steps to be taken. He proposed that a draft plan be prepared by October 25 and presented to the Planning Commission. He requested the Redevelopment Agency Committee immediately proceed with this, with the assistance of the Executive Director and the Assistant City X.tanager I and they not wait for the return of the Director of Community Development, who is on vacation. The Chair declared the public hearing opened. The Chair called the Council's attention to the schedule of the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency dated September 12, 1972, and stated according to that schedule the City of Tiburon is now at S~Epll. He stated they have selected the project area, as required, and they now must adopt a preliminary plan for the selection area. The City Manager advised that the project area is broader than the Do\mtm-rn Plan, and the staff needs direction and guidelines as to the purposes to be fulfilled by the Redevelopment Agency in the different areas of the project area.

He stated Hilarita has a developer, RE'] Hi::'J. has a pri.vate owner, and the Tiburon Peninsula Club and the .a~ lands could not be considered as being blighted. In ~egard to the downtown area, he would urge the Agency spe~d only e~ough ene~gy or money required to achieve a reasonablo development, and that redevelopment is a radical overkill.
