DEPARTMENT REPORTS
REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY REGARDING AB 1290.
Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, provided the Board with the League of California Cities'
summary of AB 1290. Her firm Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth) has become increasingly
concerned that major reforms to redevelopment are on the verge of being enacted by the
Legislature which still require some revision and rethinking. The primary concerns relate to the
definition of blight". the elimination of the fiscal review process, the imposition of strict time
limits on new and existing plans, the restrictions on sales tax?' deals, and the various affordable
housing reforms. She believed that this is a very serious Bill with serious implications as to how
redevelopment agencies can operate in the fliture.
Ms. Honeywell responded to Member McCartney's concern about the impact on a merger that
would be in the process advising that there would be no *?grandfathering' in.
The Board supported the recommendations of legal counsel and authorized the City's name to
be used in responding to this legislation and also asked that letters be written to the State
Legislature and CRA to let them know the City's opposition.
