reported that notice had been duly published and that no written
protests had been received by the Agency.
Executive Director Bussey summarized the sources of funding for the
Redevelopment Agency and explained that the Agency's budget is
broken down into two areas: Portuguese Bend and Abalone Cove with
the latter being funded from an agreement resulting from a lawsuit
against the City and the County by residents of Abalone Cove. That
settlement provided $10M for stabilization projects and associated
costs, one of which was the panel of experts. One million dollars
was set aside for maintenance purposes and only the interest earned
on the principle could be used for maintenance. Funding for the
Portuguese Bend area, however, came from City loans to the Agency,
some developer funds and grants to the City.
Lois Larue spoke about the condition of the pipe in the Portuguese
Bend area.
Executive Director Bussey reported that the Portuguese Bend area is
moving, is inspected frequently and is under constant maintenance,
however, staff would prepare a report on the status of the
maintenance of the half-round pipe.
