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 Minutes of the Redevelopment Agency Moorpark, California Page 2 October 15, 2003 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.
