AGENCY CONSIDERATION
QUARTERLY HOUSING REPORT (RA) - File R-173 x (SRCC) 13-16
Acting Redevelopment Executive Director Jake Ours stated his report reflects one of the slower quarters; however, it
does show the constant, minimum level of activity that is always going on in the Agency, and noted they are
always doing something in the housing realm. He stated the report highlights work currently being done in the
areas of BMR Programs; technical assistance, which is continuous with many developers; Contempo Marin,
where the Agency is trying to get the purchase going; and Centertown II, which is the plot of land located on "C"
Street across the street from Centertown. Mr. Ours noted staff has already begun work on the conceptual
drawings, based on what they think may go on this property. Mr. Ours stated the report also includes the total
spent by the Agency during the last quarter.
Chairman Boro asked if there would be a report on potential Redevelopment funding in the Canal area, and Mr. Ours
responded that he had spoken with the owner of two parcels of land in the Canal area that might possibly be
available for this purpose. He noted that although the parcels are not large, it would be the type of project the
Agency could comfortably undertake and complete.
Member Zappetini asked what had happened with the parcel of land at 260 Canal Street, stating the owner of that
property had come to him and stated he was willing to put up a half -million dollars in order to purchase this
property, if the City would match the funds. Mr. Ours stated that project had never come before the Agency.
Member Zappetini moved and Member Phillips seconded, to accept the report.
AYES: MEMBERS: Cohen, Phillips, Zappetini & Chairman Boro.
NOES: MEMBERS: None
ABSENT: MEMBERS: Heller
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:35 PM.
JEANNE M. LEONCINI, AGENCY SECRETARY
