ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
AS requested by the Chairman, the Executive Director provided
an update of matters of interest to the Agency. Mr. Parker
reported that the Department of Water and power have renewed
their interest in developing the D.W.P. site, reporting
they have prepared a schedule setting forth the various
procedural steps necessary in order to enable them to commence
the developer recruitment process, anticipated to begin
in January, 1986, for development of the site in accordance
with the City's Specific Plan. He explained that the City
has approximately $450,000 Harbors and Beach monies designated
for the site, therefore the city will be actively participating
in the negotiating process for the development. The Director
reported Riverbeach has completed construction and have
sold most of the units, those units fronting First Street
selling the slowest, that the Marina Park and the median
strip have been completed and are a benefit to the Riverbeach
development. Mr. parker reported he has been informed
that negotiations have begun with a hotel developer for
the State Lands site, that a proposal has been received
from the developer and forwarded to the State for their
input prior to submittal to the City. He added that a
restaurant has also indicated an interest in the site and
have been referred to the State Lands. Mr. parker reported
that the Hellman family has preliminarily selected a developer
for their property, that the developer is familiar with
oil production lands and liqua faction problems, and has
sixty days to determine, in conjunction with the Planning
and Engineering staff, if they are interested in making
a formal offer for the property. He added that the developer
will submit a proposal as to the type of product proposed
to be built for review by the city. Mr. Parker stated
that the proposal would be unlike the ponderosa plan,
therefore requiring the Specific Plan to be changed to
reflect a different product. He noted a preliminary proposal

could be before the Planning Commission within six to eight
weeks. Mrs. Risner asked if the City should commence
preparation of a new Specific plan. The Executive Director
responded that the staff would first like to look at the
physical and environmental constraints of the property
which will dictate where development can take place. Mr.
parker noted that the staff has recently learned that
ponderosa had several environmental studies prepared of
which the City had no previous knowledge, and that those
documents will be provided to the City for review. Mr.
Parker stated he had suggested to all parties concerned
that development be pursued through a development agreement,
followed by a Specific plan, which would be under a public
hearing process. Mr. Parker added that the staff expressed
their belief to the developer of the Agency/council's
preference for a single family development.

Councilman Grgas arrived at the meeting at 6:57 p.m.
The Executive Director noted that the Agency, as a whole,
has been solvent for the past three years, primarily due
to the in-lieu payments by Riverbeach which has allowed
the Agency to commence repayment of loans to the city.
He explained that the annual in-lieu payments, $165,000,
were agreed upon for a three year period, from which the
actual tax increment accrued from the project is subtracted,
estimating that after the three year period, the on-going
tax increment from the Riverbeach project should be between
$165,000 and $200,000 annually. The Executive Director
stated he was requesting the Agency adjourn to August 12th
to consider approval of a financial agreement for purchase
of the Trailer Park property, as requested by Mr. Dawson.
He explained that pursuant to an agreement with Riverbeach,
Mr. Dawson has the opportunity to purchase the land and
in turn, offer long term lease arrangements to the tenants
of the park. There being no other oral communications,
Chairman Brownell declared Oral Communications closed.
