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