PUBLIC HEARING:
Chairman Kuykendall opened the public hearing on this adoption of
the Agency's 1994-95 fiscal year budget. Agency Secretary
Purcell reported that notice of the hearing had been duly
published and that no written protests had been received by the
Agency.
Agency Director Bussey presented the June 8 staff report and the
recommendation that staff be directed to prepare a resolution
adopting the 1994-95 fiscal year Redevelopment Agency budget for
consideration at the June 21, 1994 Redevelopment Agency meeting.
Reviewing the proposed 1994-95 fiscal year budget further, he
said that this document had been transmitted to the Agency Board
on May 12, 1994 and a budget work session to review the budget was
held on April 16.
Continuing with his report, he said that the RDA budget was
I/
divided into two primary sections: one dealing with Abalone Cove
and the other with Portuguese Bend. The emphasis in this year's
RDA budget was primarily capital improvements. Projects in
Abalone Cove had been recommended by the Panel of Experts, and
those in Portuguese Bend by the City's consulting engineer,
Charles Abbott and the City's geologist Perry Ehlig.
The recommended budget for Abalone Cove is $4,746,700; all
Abalone Cove projects would be funded with bond proceeds from the
Landslide Settlement Agreement (Horan) including the following:
installation of de-watering wells; Abalone Cove, Kelvin Canyon,
and Altamira Canyon drainage improvements; and, installation of
sanitary sewers. A prorata portion of the Army Corps of
Engineers Shoreline Protection Feasibility Study had been
i
included in the Abalone Cove budget.
Concluding his budget report, Mr. Bussey stated that the
recommended budget for Portuguese Bend was $408,280, the funding
for which would come from City loans to the Agency. Several
projects were also included in the City budget which would be
funded through County Community Development Block Grants.
Portuguese Bend projects included the following: reconstruction
of a portion of Palos Verdes Drive South, grading to reduce the
landslide movement and Portuguese Bend Canyon drainage
improvements. A portion of the Corps' Feasibility Study will
also be funded in this portion of the budget.
Responding to the Board's inquiry, staff reported that there was
no funding in this budget for the sewers to be installed in
Portuguese Bend; and, that the primary change to the budget was
the adjustment made for the Corps' Feasibility Study.
Speaking in opposition to the budget was Lois Larue, 3136
Barkentine Road.
Additional Board discussion clarified the fact that the sewers
would be paid for with the Horan settlement money and that the U.
S. Army Corps of Engineers study would be paid for over a three
year period.
Council directed staff to contact the 29 homeowners in the
Portuguese Bend portion of the landslide area to determine if
they would support a sewer assessment district if the RDA paid
for the trunk line portion of the system.
Member McTaggart moved, seconded by Member Byrd to adopt the
staff recommendation to direct staff to prepare a resolution
adopting the 1994-95 fiscal year Redevelopment Agency budget for
consideration at the June 21, 1994 Redevelopment Agency meeting.
Motion carried.
