In response to Chairman Hunter, Mr. Nowak stated the
outstanding issues were the transfer of property, how the
Agency would be paid for the land and fees, and how to
insure that the affordable units remain affordable.
In response to Chairman Hunter, Mr. Nowak stated the
issue of property transfer had come up in February, with
four other major issues, and that the original proposal
had indicated property transfer at the time of the
construction loans.
Agency Member Perez called Karen Flock, representing
Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation, to answer
questions.
Karen Flock, Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation,
stated they had not changed their position on when they
would transfer the land. She stated she had not seen the
draft Development and Disposition Agreement (DDA) and was
unaware that there were outstanding issues. She stated
she had told staff that it would be necessary for
Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation's legal counsel
to review the agreement.
In response to Agency Member Perez, Mr. Nowak indicated
that Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation has been
actively involved in the development of the salient
points of the draft agreement.
Agency Member Perez recommended that the Committee re-

recommendation.
In response to Chairman Hunter, Ms. Flock stated Cabrillo
Economic Development Corporation was not currently
negotiating any other projects with a DDA in Ventura

out to bid.

Development Corporation project contained the greater
number of affordable units, which was the primary goal of
the project.

laudable goal but not at the expense of the Agency.
