BUSINESS SESSION
1. CONSIDERATION OF SELECTION OF THE REVIEW PROCESS FOR THE
VILLAGE RFP CONSULTANT.
Mr. Genovese, Interim City Manager, advised that an RFP was
presented to a?number of consultants and we have now received
four responses. Staff is now seeking Board direction as to
how to proceed with a review of the proposals.
Mr. Sniff suggested that the process be delayed until the new
Council/Board is seated. He also questioned how we can
proceed with a project when acquisition of the park is
undetermined at this time as well as the infrastructure.
Perhaps the Board needs to discuss whether or not it's a good
idea to proceed with this project at this time.
Chairman Pena briefly reviewed the background of this project.
He favored moving forward with interviews of the four
consultants to select two for interview by the entire Board.
The newly seated Council/Board would conduct those interviews.
Mr. Rushworth suggested eliminating the proposal submitted by
an out?of-town consultant and have the Board interview the
remaining four.
A brief discussion ensued with the Board concurring to select
option No. 2 which sets forth a Council/Board/Staff committee
to interview all four consultants to select two for interview
by the entire Board.

Age?cy Minutes
MOTION t was moved by Mr. Sniff, seconded by Mrs. Franklin
that Option No. 2 be selected and direct staff to proceed with
the process and that the interview process narrow the field to
two which would then appear before the Board for a final
decision. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Sniff and Mrs. Franklin volunteered to serve on the
committee with Chairman Pena as the alternate.
Mr. Bohnenberger suggested that the final two appear before
the new Board.
2. REV?EW AND DISCUSSION RE?ARDING REDEVELOPMENT HOUSING
PROGRAMS.
Mr. Spevacek, with Rosenow, Spevacek roup, advised that a
report has been prepared in order to provide for some
parameters in which to continue discussing the various housing
proposals, which could be funded through the Agency's low-
moderate income housing program, which heretofore have been
discussed in Closed Session.
The report provides an overview of the Agency's housing
expenditures to date, outstanding commitments and a review of
the pending housing proposals. Basically, we have expended
$930,000 on housing programs Assessment Subsidy Program,
Coachella valley Housing Coalition and WES Development Co. We
have estimated another $756,000 to finish these programs as
they stand today; plus another $400,000 to further fund
administrative costs plus property purchase.
There are proposals before the Board from Coachella valley
Land Co., which involves both a rental subsidy program as well
as a for sale' housing program and a proposal from Williams
Development Co. to fund senior citizen rental housing. These
two proposals along with a request from WES Development Co. to
fund the remaining 30 homes provided for under his DDA would
result in an additional expenditure of somewhere between $3.1
to $4.9 million. We estimate that $4.6 million will be
available this year. This does not include funding the rebate
to the State using 50% of the low-mod housing fund if no other
funds are available. If that were to occur, then the $4.6
million estimate would be reduced to $3.9 million.
Staff is looking for direction as to how they wish to proceed
with funding these additional housing proposals.
Mrs. Franklin questioned what sites Williams Development has
looked at and Ms. Williams advised that they haven't

identified a specific site, but they are looking at a site
behind Ralphs.
Mr. Rushworth stated that he would like to see the Agency
advance in the direction of providing senior housing.
The Board concurred.
Mr. Sniff felt that they are all excellent proposals and liked
the location behind Ralphs and also suggested the area around
Avenue 48 and Highway 111. He favored moving into meaningful
negotiations with Coachella Valley Land, and Williams
Development and that we proceed with the remaining 30 units
under the WES Development project.
Chairman Pena agreed that all three projects are unique and
provide a good basis on which to proceed. He felt that the
Agency should work with these three developers and not
entertain any further proposals so that we can concentrate our
efforts on them and move forward.
The Board concurred.
At this time, the qard adjourned to Closed Session
