7. AGENCY MEMBER REPORTS:
a. DISCUSSION RE: DETERIORATED CONDITION OF AWNING ON MACY'S BUILDING ADJACENT TO NAUTILUS
OF MARIN ON FOURTH STREET (VERBAL)- FILE R-140 XIV
Member Heller stated she has noticed that the old awning on Macy's building in the Downtown
area is looking very tattered. Acting Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Jake
Ours reported he called the appointed real estate agent, who stated the awning company
has been contacted, and stated that the awning will be repaired. Ms. Heller stated
it appeared as though a new awning is needed, and Mr. Ours agreed the awning now in
SRRA MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 2
SRRA MINUTES (Regular) 2/20/96 Page 3
place should be taken down, noting it has been very difficult obtaining a response from
this particular property owner.
Member Zappetini stated he understood there have been three offers made on this property,
and asked how close we are to an agreement? Mr. Ours stated the property being referred
to is the area where Bed and Bath were once located, next to Nautilus. He reported
he thought a proposal had been made to the Planning Department; however, Assistant
Executive Director (Planning) Robert Pendoley stated that although there have been some
inquiries, no applications have been submitted as yet.
Mr. Ours stated there has been a lot of action on this property, noting one of the vitamin/health
food stores in San Rafael is considering moving to that location, next to Nautilus.
b. DISCUSSION RE: FAIR ISSAC'S INTEREST IN P.G. & E. SITE (VERBAL) - FILE R-140 XIV
Chairman Boro reported Fair Issac has narrowed their relocation choices to four sites, two
of which are in San Rafael, and two outside the City. Chairman Boro stated he and Acting
Redevelopment Executive Director Ours had met with members of the team to bring Fair
Issac to the P.G. & E. site. He noted they are planning to interact with them and will
keep the Agency apprised, perhaps inviting the Agency Members to a meeting with
representatives from Fair Issac when they revisit the P.G. & E. site.
Member Phillips stated he had information he would like to share with Chairman Boro prior
to his next meeting with the representatives from Fair Issac.
There being no further business to come before the Agency, the meeting was adjourned
at 7:38 PM.

further contact with Councilmember Zappetini, and/or any of his representatives, regarding
