17. What happens when a redevelopment project expires? Does all redevelopment have to take place in the years before it expires? When a redevelopment plan expires (reaches its duration date) projects that are underway will be completed but the Agency will not be able to initiate new projects (the possible exception would be to complete any affordable housing obligations). The Agency has 10 years following the expiration of a redevelopment plan to collect tax increment and repay previously established debt. 18. Explain Implementation Plan Every five years a redevelopment agency must adopt an Implementation Plan, which describes the agency's goals, objectives, proposed projects and programs and expenditures. Additionally, the Implementation Plan describes the relationship between the proposed projects and programs, expenditures and attaining the goals and objectives as identified in the Implementation Plan. (The Plan must also describe how the Agency intends on fulfilling its affordable housing obligations). The Implementation Plan is important because it identifies the Agency's intended near term activities in the project area(s). The Implementation Plan is adopted following a hearing by the Agency and notice of the hearing will be posted in the projects areas and published for three weeks in the newspaper (noticing ends 10 days prior to the hearing). Community meetings are underway as part of the Federal grant application process to gather input from the community on what they would like to see as priorities for Agency activities in the Project Areas. People were encouraged to meet with the staff person in charge with the community effort outreach. 19. Is the Bristol widening totally different from what we are talking about tonight? As mentioned above, the Bristol widening is a City project rather than a redevelopment project. The proposed Merger simply allows the Agency to combined revenues and allocate the revenues within the Merged Project Area as needed. The Merger does not redefine or define a set of projects to be implemented. It was suggested that persons interested in specific projects or what is going on in their redevelopment area meet with the various staff persons available after the meeting charged with managing the Project Areas. 20. Where can I find out more about eminent domain? The limitations on eminent domain authority were reviewed. Before, the Agency can pursue eminent domain owners of the property must be notified and a hearing before the City Council is held regarding the condemnation.
