Mr. Kueny gave the staff report and introduced Richard
Tillberg of Urban Futures, Inc., 3111 N. Tustin
Avenue, Suite 1230, Orange, who summarized the mid-
term update his company assisted staff in preparing.
In response to Agency Members, Mr. Tillberg stated the
information contained in Table 4, concerning the Tax
Increment, does not reflect the State raid on
Redevelopment funds; every agency is allowed to extend
their plan by one year; the recommendation is that the
Table not be adjusted, since the next plan is only 12-
months away; and the definitions for the income groups
at a percentage of the County Median are: extremely

low at 300, very low at 500, low at 80% and moderate
at 120% of median income.
Councilmember Mikos stated she would like the
affordability covenants generated for any future
affordable housing to go on beyond the 55 years
mentioned in the report.
A discussion followed among the Agency Members and
staff focusing on affordability covenants in past
practice, in current law, and a forthcoming policy
decision for affordable single- family, detached, for -
sale, dwelling units.
Councilmember Harper recommended that when the policy
is developed, consideration should be for the
affordability covenants to look at the lifetime of the
dwelling units.
Mayor Hunter opened the public hearing.
Cindy Hollister, a Moorpark resident, asked for
clarification of the statement in Section 7.5
"Conclusions" regarding the expiration of the Agency's
eminent domain authority; and whether the ballot
measure would do away with the limitation on owner -
occupied residential property.
Mr. Kueny stated the Agency currently does not have
eminent domain authority; there was a ballot measure
approved by the voters that restricted Agency eminent
domain authority; and the City Attorney has given the
opinion that voter approval is required to re-
establish eminent domain authority, which would
probably be no sooner than November 2004.
In response to Councilmember Parvin, Mr. Kueny stated
that the parking -in- lieu -fee for High Street was well
received by Mr. Janss and facilitated shared parking
arrangements; potential High Street developers are
interested in maximizing the use of the property;
staff has proposed the property adjacent to the former
fire station become affordable housing; and other than
the mobilehome program, the City has not been actively
promoting the housing rehabilitation program.
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing.
