Moe II, Redevelopment Manager � M October 26, 2005 (Agency Meeting of 11/2/05) Consider Options for Action to address Vacancies on the Project Area Committee (PAC) On April 4, 2005, the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency Board approved the Agreement for Professional Services with Urban Futures, Inc. to assist the Agency with the preparation and processing of an amendment to the Moorpark Redevelopment Plan ( "Plan ") to restore eminent domain authority. On July 20, 2005, the City Council adopted the Project Area Committee (PAC) Procedures for the formation, election and operation of a PAC. The PAC Procedures called for the PAC to be made up of 9 members from the following categories: • Residential Owner Occupied (3) • Residential Tenant (2) vacant • Business Owner (3) • Existing Community Organization (1) During the formation of the PAC, an insufficient number of residential tenants were interested in participating on the PAC, which resulted in 2 seats remaining vacant. The adopted PAC Procedures require that a second PAC election be held to fill the vacant seat(s) in any under represented PAC membership categories. The City Council has the following two options to address the vacancy issue: 1. Conduct a second election to elect 2 residential tenant members to the PAC. 0001-75 Moorpark City Council October 21, 2005 Page 2 2. Amend the PAC Procedures to allow the process to continue with the vacancies. If option 1 is selected, the original contract with Urban Futures, Inc. will need to be amended by the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency Board on November 16, 2005, to include a provision to conduct the second PAC election. The cost to complete the second PAC election is $9,600. Of this total, $7,850 is the consultant's fee for conducting the PAC informational meeting and election; $1,500 would pay for the cost of mailing out the required notices to the residential tenants; and the notices would be translated into Spanish for a cost of $250. If option 2 is selected, the City Council will need to amend the PAC Procedures by resolution. The resolution could be considered at the November 16, 2005 City Council meeting.
