VII. COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONS Section 33352(i) of the CRL requires that the Agency's Report to the City Council contain the summary referred to in Section 33387. Section 33387 of the CRL refers to the consultations with the PAC, if any. There is no existing PAC for any of the existing Project Areas. On March 15, 2004, the City Council by Resolution No. 2004 -017, found and determined that the proposed Amendments do not include a provision to grant additional authority to acquire by eminent domain or add territory to the existing Project Areas; therefore, a Project Area Committee was not required to be formed in connection with the proposed Amendments (Appendix C of the Report). On July 19, 2004, the Agency Board by CRA Resolution No. 2004 -010, and the City Council by Resolution No. 2004 -055, consented to holding the Joint Public Hearing on the Merger for September 7, 2004 (Attachment B of this Supplement). Per CRL Section 33349, the Agency sent a first class mailing containing the required notice of joint public hearing to the last known assessee (the "property owner ") of each parcel of land and to all tenants and business owners within the Project Areas. This notice explains the purpose of the joint public hearing and contains other pertinent information such as the meeting date, time and location. The joint public hearing notice also included a Spanish and Vietnamese reference to call the Agency for interpretation. Furthermore, the notice included an invitation to attend a community information meeting to discuss the proposed Merger. A copy of the joint public hearing and community information meeting notice is included within this Supplement as Attachment C. The notice of joint public hearing was published in the Orange County Register for five (5) consecutive weeks in compliance with the CRL. The joint public hearing notice was also published twice in Spanish and Vietnamese speaking newspapers. The dates the joint public hearing notice was published consist of August 2, 9 (which as noted above included the notice of the community information meeting), 16, 23 and 30, 2004. Notices in the La Opinion and Nguoi Viet were published on August 3 and 30, 2004. In addition to the transmittal of the joint public hearing notice, CRL Section 33488 requires the Agency to notify the State of California — Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) of its intention to merge the Project Areas at least 30 days prior to the adoption of the Merger. The Agency transmitted a letter to the HCD on July 30, 2004, for receipt on August 2, 2004 (see Attachment D of this Supplement). The adoption of the ordinances merging the Project Areas is scheduled to occur no sooner than September 20, 2004. Supplement to the Report to the City Council for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.
