The following item was removed from the Consent Calendar for discussion, at the request of Chairman Boro:
5. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE B STREET REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
(RA) — FILE R-406
Quoting from the staff report: "...there is sufficient private market activity that has or will redevelop the
properties in and around the B Street area, without this level of involvement." Chairman Boro stated
that while understanding at this stage it could make sense to let this particular agreement expire, and
while it would be good if involvement was unnecessary, he did not favor a piecemeal approach, i.e., a
parcel at a time.
Economic Development Director Nancy Mackle confirmed this remains listed as a project for the
Redevelopment Agency.
Chairman Boro indicated that should interest be established, it should be evaluated globally to avoid a
mismatch. He explained that as this is a critical area to be addressed, he wished to ensure coordinated
activity.
Ms. Mackle confirmed the Redevelopment Agency could still be involved in many ways.
Member Phillips moved and Member Miller seconded, to accept the report and recommendation.
AYES: MEMBERS: Heller, Miller, Phillips and Chairman Boro
NOES: MEMBERS: None
ABSENT: MEMBERS: Vice -Chair Cohen
AGENCY MEMBER REPORTS:
6. Re: San Rafael City Plaza: - File R-423 x R-140 #8
Economic Development Director Nancy Mackle invited all to attend the Wednesday Brown Bag
Luncheons at San Rafael City Plaza, at 12:00 Noon. She reported that two luncheons had taken place
thus far, and staff intends to conduct further advertising as this venture grows.
Responding to Member Heller's inquiry as to numbers attending, Ms. Mackle stated this is in the early
stages and not all remain for the duration; therefore, it is not crowded at any one time. Regarding
seating, she confirmed that together with the existing benches, round tables are positioned and will be
added to as the numbers grow.
Having attended this past Wednesday, Member Miller reported very positively. In terms of advertising,
he believed cooperation from the management of the building next door would be very advantageous in
boosting attendance. Responding, Ms. Mackle indicated a call had been made to the Property Manager
of Courthouse Square and through her, it is hoped to apprise all of the tenants of this event.
There being no further business, the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency meeting was adjourned at 7:55 PM.
JEANNE M. LEONCINI, Agency Secretary
