Redevelopment Agency Minutes 3 December 6, 1994
Mr. Genovese, City Manager. advised that the plan's goals and objectives are centered
in assisting minority developers, including developers employing low and moderate
income persons in which they receive credit on certain contract bids. The Agency
already has these programs in effect where legally possible.
Board Member Pena asked if preference can be given to such developers.
Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that the ability the Agency has is to give
preference to businesses located in redevelopment project areas only and doesn't apply
to general, public goals of addressing minority issues. The City and Redevelopment
Agency has adopted a policy that allows preference to local contractors in La Quinta.
Council Member Perkins suggested that whenever possible' be added to the section
Expand Employment Opportunities.
Mr. Genovese advised that as other entities test the water" for assisting local businesses,
so will La Quinta, noting e Agency has a few programs already in place and will
continue to move further with them.
In response to Board Member Pena, Ms. Honeywell advised that the Agency will need
to adopt a specific policy under the Public Contract Code before it can give preference
to minority and/or women-owned businesses; however, he City can refer to the policy
within the redevelopment law which provides for minority-owned businesses established
within redevelopment project areas.
Council Member Perkins congratulated the consultant and staff for a good, easy-?-read
report.
