Steve Hull, a Moorpark resident and business owner of Creative Wood Works, 387 Zachary Street, Moorpark, stated he is still very interested in the property for a fair price and is willing to pay fair market value; he has discussed square footage with a few architects and feels he can fit his business within the space; in this way he can keep the business here in Moorpark; and he does not have a problem going through the Competitive Bid Process to pay fair market value. Mr. Hull also indicated he is able to complete his current six month lease and then work with his current landlord on a month -to -month basis during this process. In response to Agency Member Millhouse, Mr. Riley stated he anticipates this Competitive Bid Process may be done within six months depending on how smoothly the process goes, as it is dependant on others. Mr. Riley stated he plans to get a new appraisal and other necessary paperwork processed including creation of a parcel. Mr. Montes stated that if the desire of the Board is a Competitive Bid Process there is not a statutory mandated process for staff to generate a reasonable and sufficient response from more than one very interested individual. In response to Agency Member Mikos, Mr. Kueny stated he does not recall previously sold Agency property using a Competitive Bid Process. In response to Agency Member Mikos, Mr. Montes, advised there are a couple different processes one can engage in. He mentioned a sealed bid process allowing 14 - 30 days for interested individuals to submit bids then open all bids at same time; a sealed bid process, but then allow auction procedure once bids have been opened; or alternatively, request proposal and what plans and /or use are in mind for the property enabling Agency to consider best use and enhancement. In response to Chair Hunter, Mr. Montes, advised the Agency, with the assistance of staff, would establish Minutes of the Redevelopment Agency Moorpark, California Paqe 3 April 7, 2004 the process, criteria, and ground rules as to what the Agency wants submitted with the proposal. Mr. Kueny added that the Agency has other options as identified in staff recommended action No. 3 and gave the example of how the Giesler Field property had been divided and sold. Mr. Kueny recommended the Agency at a minimum take action on staff recommended action Nos. 1 and 2 and reschedule No. 3 for April 21, 2004. The Agency can also consider the disposition of the property as a Closed Session item. He stated the goals are to obtain fair market value, full cost recovery, and consider number of jobs to be generated. He stated that the other two parties that have expressed interest would bring fewer jobs. Mr. Kueny stated he anticipates the process to last 18 months prior to the building being occupied, as a Disposition and Development Agreement will need to be executed, the Planned Development Permit process to complete, before the start of construction. Mr. Hull stated that he would like to build on the property from scratch and believes his proposal will be a good asset to the City of Moorpark. Mr. Kueny stated that if the Agency entered into an Agreement it would request a commitment from Mr. Hull to complete the process and build by a certain time. Mr. Hull stated he is willing to work with the Agency. Chair Hunter stated he wants to move the process as efficiently as possible and wants to know who the successful bidder is within 60 - 90 days.
