BY:
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David C. Moe II, Redevelopment Manager r
DATE: November 4, 2005 (City Council Meeting of 11/16/05)
SUBJECT: Amend the Project Area Committee (PAC) Procedures to
Eliminate the Requirement for a Subsequent Election to
Fill Vacancies
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
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 Occupant (3)
• Residential Tenant (2)
• 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 two 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 reviewed the following two options to address the
vacancy issue:
1. Conduct a second election to elect two residential tenant
members to the PAC. This option would require the
original contract with Urban Futures, Inc. to be amended
by the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency Board to include a
provision to conduct the second PAC election. The cost
to complete the second PAC election is $9,600.

2. Amend the PAC Procedures to allow the process to continue
with the vacancies. This would require the City Council to
amend the PAC Procedures by resolution.
After considering both options, the City Council directed staff to
prepare an amendment to the PAC Procedures to eliminate the
requirement to conduct a subsequent election to fill vacant PAC
seats. The proposed changes are located in Exhibit A to the
attached resolution on pages 6 and 7.
