MARCH 11, 2010

1. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL: Chair Woodruff called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. Chair Woodruff and Board Members Kelly, Hanes, Welch, Cutter and Holland answered the roll. Mr. Campbell was excused. A quorum was present.
2. CITIZEN COMMENTS AND CONCERNS: None.

4. MINUTES: The Agency considered the minutes from the July 9, 2009 meeting. Mr. Welch moved to approve the minutes as presented. Mr. Kelly seconded, and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote..
5. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS:
    A. Urban Renewal Area 1: City Manager Leonard noted that the sunsetting of the Urban Renewal Area 1 would mean that the City, as well as the Road District, the Fire District, and other taxing entities would receive more tax money next year. The monies remaining in the construction fund do not have an expiration and can be spent as needed, though typically the expenditures should stay within the parameters of the plan. Discussion ensued regarding various ways the monies could be utilized, including additional I & I work in the Old Town area, sidewalk repairs, an entrance sign, street-end improvements, a restroom facility for the downtown area, possibly beginning the Broadway sidewalk project, or assisting businesses in exterior improvements. No decisions were made.
    B. Urban Renewal 2: Ms. Leonard indicated that it was staff’s recommendation to wait a year or two until additional revenues come in, and prioritize a list of potential projects. Discussion ensued regarding sidewalks on Crestline and the type of material that could be used, and existing and potential parking problems in that area. No decisions were made.
6. ADJOURNMENT: At 1:45 p.m., there being no further business to come before the Agency, the meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,
Reda A. Quinlan, City Recorder
