He stated <br />that the Redevelopment Agency previously granted Staff the <br />authority to go out for bid on the Second Street Mall, conditioned <br />upon having an agreement worked out with Green's Furniture. Prior <br />to this meeting, a letter from Green's Furniture was placed before <br />the Agency members, which was signed this morning by Mr. <br />Greenberg, indicating that he is willing to enter into a formal <br />agreement. The letter outlines what Mr. Greenberg is willing to <br />do with regards to remodeling his structure, and outlines <br />negotiations regarding additional parking being provided. No <br />action was requested at this time. <br /> <br />The Executive Director further reported that in conjunction with <br />the Second Street Mall, staff is continuing to work with the <br />Rescue Mission in an attempt to relocate them. In a conversation <br />with the Rescue Mission people this morning, they indicated that <br />they are now willing to pursue looking at a site somewhere in the <br />country in order to run a "store-front" Mission, and bus the <br />clientele up to the "countryside". Staff will continue to work <br />with the personnel of the Mission. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Mr. Ward, seconded by Mr. Garthe and carried <br />unanimously to receive and file the oral report. <br /> <br />CONVERSION OF MARKET RATE (INTOWN) HOUSING TO CONDOMINIUMS <br /> <br />The Executive Director reported that Agency members previously <br />received a detailed memorandum regarding the conversion of the <br />Market Rate (Intown) Housing to condominiums, and that this <br />subject has been discussed in depth with the Redevelopment <br />Commission. Both the Commission and Staff recommend to the Agency <br />that Staff be allowed to proceed with the negotiations on <br />converting the 14 acre housing site apartment units into <br />condominiums, and bring back to the Agency a full report on how <br />the SB-99 financing will work. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Mr. Garthe, seconded by Mr. Ward and carried <br />(Mr. Yamamoto voted NO) to approve the conversion of the Market <br />Rate (Intown) Housing to condominiums, and to authorize Staff to <br />prepare necessary preliminary analyses regarding SB-99. <br /> <br />ACQUISITION AND REHABILITATION OF MINTER HOUSE <br /> <br />The Executive Director reported that staff is requesting <br />authorization to negotiate for the acquisition of the Minter House <br />(which will be necessary to enlarge Birch Park), and bring back to <br />the Agency estimates for refurbishing the house for use as a <br />temporary Site Office (which would save the Agency monthly rental <br />payments -- currently $440.00 per month), an estimate of repairs <br />to rehabilitate it for sale to a private person for commercial <br />use, or, if the City so desires, to sell or give it to the Parks <br />and Recreation department. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
