AGENDA TITLE: Resolution approving procedures for the formation of a project area committee for the Lodi Redevelopment Project No. 1. MEETING DATE: September 5, 2001 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a Resolution approving procedures for the formation of a project area committee for the Lodi Redevelopment Project No. 1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As a part of the continuing process to establish a redevelopment project within the City of Lodi, a project area committee must be formed in order to give guidance to staff and ultimately the Redevelopment Agency in the preparation of the Project Area Plan. As noted in the attached procedures, California Redevelopment Law requires that a project area committee be formed whenever either of the two following situations may occur: • When a substantial number of low -and moderate -income persons, or both, reside within the project area and the redevelopment plan will contain authority for the agency to acquire, by eminent domain, property in which any persons reside, or • When the redevelopment plan will contain one or more public projects that will displace a substantial number of low -moderate -income persons, or both. While I cannot think of a specific situation where a public project may be proposed that could displace any low -moderate -income persons, there may be at some time in the future where the Redevelopment Agency might acquire property via eminent domain where any person resides. Therefore, we are recommending Council approval of the procedures to form a committee. The California Redevelopment law provides the "boiler plate" language for the formation of these committees. The only real discretion that the City Council has in changing the procedures is on the make-up or composition of the committee. Under Section III of the attachment, we are recommending that the committee represent the following categories: • Two members shall be Residential Owner -Occupants • Two members shall be Residential Tenants • Two members shall be Business Owner -Tenants APPROVED: H. Dixon Flynn -- City Manager cc for procedures for the formation of a project area committee.doc 08/29/01 Council Communication Meeting Date: September 5, 2001 Page 2 _ • Two members shall be Business Owner -Property Owners • One member shall be a representative of an existing community organization. The organization shall be primarily an organization serving residential neighborhoods. The discretion the Council has is in the number of representatives in each group and whether to have a separate group representing either business owners or property owners. Specifically, the law does not break out the business owners as tenants or property owners. Again, it is staff's belief that the committee be manageable in size and have the diversity that the optional group brings to the committee.
