Economic Development Director Nancy Mackle reported the Redevelopment Agency had recently issued the 1999 Redevelopment bonds, which included entering into a Public Services Agreement with the College of Marin and the San Rafael School District. She explained part of the bond proceeds would go to the College of Marin and the School District to help them make improvements to the school facilities. She noted there was a total of $4,200,000, with $2.2 million for the Elementary School District, and $2 million for the High School District. Ms. Mackle pointed out Exhibit "A" of the staff report detailed the improvements to the schools and their facilities, noting they were projects which would serve the project area residents, improving their educational capacity. Ms. Mackle noted it was extremely hard for schools to find funding such as this, and she believed this would work for the betterment of the project area, and its residents. Mayor Boro invited public comment. There being no public comment, Chairman/Mayor Boro closed the public hearing. Member/Councilmember Cohen asked if this was from the most recent bond issue? Ms. Mackle stated it was. Mr. Cohen noted it had been his understanding these funds were to be used by the schools as a local match for State funds. He asked if they would apply the money to specific projects, and then show the State what they had spent in local funds? Ms. Mackle stated it was her understanding that was what they were attempting to do. Member/Councilmember Heller asked when the schools would begin the projects, and whether they had to wait for the matching funds? Ms. Mackle stated they would be able to begin right away.
