PUBLIC HEARINGS: None. 57 Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency Moorpark, California Page 4 February 5, 2020 9. PRESENTATION/ACTION/DISCUSSION: A. Consider Use of Remaining Proceeds in the Amount of $2,023,324 from Tax Allocation Bonds Issued in 2006 and Authorize Staff to Allocate Funding to Projects that Benefit the Former Redevelopment Agency Project Area. Staff Recommendation: Approve recommended uses of remaining proceeds from 2006 Tax Allocation bonds or discuss and provide direction to staff on the use of remaining tax allocation bond funds. Mr. Brown gave the staff report. Mr. Brown provided the following statement to be entered into the record for clarification purposes: “In consultation with the City Attorney’s Office, staff would like to make a clarification regarding the source of the funds mentioned in the staff report. When the 2006 bonds were issued, proceeds in the amount of $8.9 million were deposited into a 2006 bonds project fund. The $8.9 million, plus interest earnings, were used on qualifying projects, including the construction of the Ruben Castro Human Services Center, which is consisted of two buildings. One of the buildings in the Center, Building A, was later conveyed to the County of Ventura for $5.6 million. The $5.6 million was deposited in the 2006 bond project fund. Later, with the approval of the California Department of Finance that amount was transferred by the Successor Agency to the City. Therefore, the source of the $1.9 million, which with accrued interest, has grown to $2,023,324, is more likely surplus funds from the Ruben Castro Project. The transfer of the moneys by the Successor Agency was determined and approved by the Department of Finance and the funds are available for use on the various public projects indicated in the staff report.” A discussion followed among the Councilmembers and staff regarding projects that could benefit from the use of the surplus funds including the Civic Center Master Plan project, the High Street streetscape, Millard drain improvements, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements both downtown and in other areas of the City, bus turnouts, and Princeton Avenue construction. Following discussion, Mr. Brown recapped the City Council’s consensus that a significant portion of the funds should be used toward the High Street streetscape, some funds should be allocated to neighborhoods in the former Redevelopment Agency area, and potentially allocate some funds to the Library and Civic Center projects. Funds should not be used for Princeton Avenue construction or bus stops. Mr. Brown stated he would return to the City Council with further details, project proposals and associated costs for the High Street streetscape, sidewalk improvements and the priority assigned to them, and Library funding that may be transferrable to the Civic Center.
