AGENDA ITEM TAKEN OUT OF ORDER <br />NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING <br />12A RESOLUTION - NOTICE OF INTENT TO MODIFY THE MANAGEMENT <br />DISTRICT PLAN TO ADJUST THE BOUNDARIES FOR THE <br />DOWNTOWN SANTA ANA COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT - <br />Community Development Agency <br />Legal Notice published in the Orange County Register on July 9, 2011 and <br />on July 23, 2011 and notices mailed to business and property owners. <br />Continued from the July 18, 2011 City Council meeting by a vote of 4-0 <br />(Benavides, absent; Pulido and Sarmiento abstained). <br />Council discussion ensued. Mayor Pro Tern Alvarez noted that at the <br />previous City Council Meeting she motioned to allow the public to submit <br />additional proposed re-boundary maps for consideration. Opined that <br />original map (Map #1) does not resolve issues; other maps submitted <br />include the Artist Village (Map #2), FiestaMarket Place (Map #3), and map <br />submitted by anti-PBID members (Map #4). Requested that Downtown <br />Inc. evaluate Map #4 alongside #1 - both extremes and come to a <br />concensus. Council has been advised that only map brought forth by <br />Downtown Inc. are eligible for consideration according to resolution that <br />established the District. Issues will remain if proposed Map #1 approved. <br />Had supported establishement of PBID, but District has not been handled <br />properly. Asked following questions: how are posting of agenda notices <br />managed; is there fair treatment of all boardmembers; why have some <br />commitees been dissolved; why is financial report fleeting; why is <br />executive director receiving 401K Plan, how was decision to hire spouse <br />of director made; and why have some members left? Need a full review of <br />bylaws and full compliance with Brown Act. Invited all 4th Street vendors <br />to participate in the Board and strongly encouraged all to compromise. <br />Directed staff to prepare resolution for consideration of diestablishment of <br />the PBID. <br />Councilmember Martinez noted that PBID in her Ward; will continue to <br />make objective decisions and represent all. Also, proposed reboundary <br />area needs to have validation by Engineer. Map #1 had only cursory <br />review by Engineer; any re-boundary modifications have to resemble <br />original District area, otherwise its considered a new District - as required <br />by Proposition 218. Also, Downtown Inc. has two proposed budgets <br />requested that they be submitted for City Council review. Urged Board to <br />diversify to meet the needs of all the District. <br />AMENDED MOTION: <br />1. Adopt a resolution. <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 16 AUGUST 1, 2011 <br />1 0B-16
