ROLL CALL

JOINT SESSION/GENERAL BUSINESS

Councilmember/Agency Member Hamilton recused herself stating her property is located in the redevelopment area but does not preclude her from voting on individual projects within the area, and left the dais.

Brice McQueen, Redevelopment Manager, assisted by Lynn Hutchins, Redevelopment Counsel with Goldfarb and Lipman, presented the staff report.  He reported on December 16, 2003, the Agency Board and the City Council conducted a joint public hearing on the proposed Fourth Plan Amendment. Prior to the joint public hearing the Agency and City Council received written comments on the proposed amendment. Redevelopment Law requires the City to prepare written findings and responses to each written objection received. Upon completion of the public hearing on December 16, 2003, the final action of the Agency Board and the City Council was deferred to the

January 6, 2004 meeting in order to respond in writing to the written comments received. He stated that David Daniels, who represents Harvest Partners, submitted a letter in support of their previously raised concerns. Staff recommends that the City Council: (1) adopt the attached resolution adopting written findings and responses to comments received in connection with the adoption of the Plan Amendment and (2) adopt the attached ordinance adopting the Fourth Plan Amendment to the Central Core Redevelopment Plan.
