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.
