<br />AGREEMENT BETWEEN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT <br />CALIFORNIA BANK AS BOND FISCAL AGENT <br /> <br />AGENCY <br /> <br />AND <br /> <br />UNITED <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Yamamoto expressed concern about the Agency's ability to repay <br />the bond due to the passage of the Jarvis Amendment, and in light <br />of this, he felt that there would be no need for a bond fiscal <br />agent. <br /> <br />The Executive Director explained that the Agency had previously <br />approved United California Bank as the paying agent and had <br />approved the fees. He stated that this was a housekeeping item so <br />that we could pay United California Bank for services rendered. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Mr. Garthe, seconded by Mr. Ward and carried <br />(Mr. Yamamoto voted NO) to approve the agreement between the <br />Community Redevelopment Agency and United California Bank as the <br />bond agent establ ish ing a fee schedule. <br /> <br />RENTAL OF OFFICE SPACE FOR RELOCATION SITE OFFICE STAFF <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Yamamoto expressed concern about expending $3,500 a year for <br />rental of office space for the Relocation Site Office Staff for a <br />locat ion across the street from City Hall, and felt that Staff <br />could find adequate space for the Staff in City Hall and save the <br />$3,500 a year. Mr. Bricken concurred with Mr. Yamamoto's <br />pos it ion. <br /> <br />The Executive Director explained that he did not believe there was <br />square footage left in City Hall to house the Staff; that the <br />people the Agency is dealing with in this part of the project (the <br />Barrio) do not like to come to City Hall -- they like the Agency <br />to be convenient for them and feel comfortable that Staff is <br />located in the Project Area; that the amount of rent that the <br />Agency pays to the City for space in City Hall is double what the <br />rent is for this location; therefore, the Agency would not be <br />saving money to house the Site Office in City Hall. <br /> <br />The Executive Director further explained that it is not feasible <br />to continue to move into the houses in the project Area if such a <br />house was available, due to the fact that if a house was <br />available, it would be scheduled for demol it ionwithin the next <br />few months, and the cost to prepare a house for use is quite high. <br />He further stated that this will be the third time that the Site <br />Off ice has had to relocate. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Garthe and carried <br />by the following roll call vote to authorize the Chairman of the <br />Agency to execute the lease of 1,260 square feet of space in the <br />bu il idng at the southeast corner of Fourth and Van Ness for use by <br />the Relocation Site Office. <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br /> <br />Brandt, Garthe, Ortiz, Ward <br />Bricken, Yamamoto <br />Evans <br /> <br />NOMINATION OF SPURGEON BUILDING FOR NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC <br />PLACES PROGRAM <br /> <br />The Agency members expressed concern that the Spurgeon Building is <br />unsafe and does not meet the fire code standards, and did not wish <br />to approve the nomination of the Spurgeon Building for listing in <br />the National Register of Historic Places until they were certain <br />that the building would be brought up to Code. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Ortiz and carried <br />unanimously to continue this item until such time as the owner of <br />the building would present to the Agency his plans for <br />rehabilitation of the building. . <br /> <br />-3- <br />
