AGENDA REPORT -A- '�M -
To: Honorable City Council
From: David C. Moe II, Redevelopment Manager nL'"
Date: June 30, 2011 (CC Meeting of 7/6/11)
Subject: Consider Exercising Option Agreement with the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Moorpark to Purchase Agency Land Held for
Resale
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
On Monday, January 10, 2011, Governor Jerry Brown released his Fiscal Year 2011 -12
State budget proposal. It included a proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies. On
June 29, 2011, the Governor signed ABX1 26 eliminating redevelopment agencies and
ABX1 27 which allows cities to resurrect their redevelopment agency for a large
payment in Fiscal Year 2011 -12 and continuing payments for the life of the agency.
On February 2, 2011, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ( "Agency ")
and the City of Moorpark ( "City ") entered into an option agreement that allows the City
to purchase the Agency's land held for resale. The intent of the option agreement is to
allow completion of planned Agency activities consistent with the Five -Year
Implementation Plan. These activities include affordable housing and economic
development objectives that could not be accomplished without the acquisition and
public ownership of the land. The activities, when completed would return the land to
private ownership or hold it for general public benefit such as street widening, parking
facilities and parks. The purchase price for each parcel shall be $1.00 as previously
agreed by the Agency and City.
Staff recommends the City exercise its option to purchase the Agency's land held for
resale to ensure the planned Agency projects are completed.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will purchase the Agency's land held for resale at a price of $1.00 for each
parcel ($39.00 total). No budget amendment is need as the funds needed for this
transaction can be found in the existing FY 2011/12 adopted budget.
