RDA 06-02-08C U P S RT I N O APPROVED MINUTES CUPERTINO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Regular Meeting Monday, June 2, 2008 CALL TO ORDER At 11:42 p.m. Chairwoman Dolly Sandoval called the regular meeting to order in the Council Chamber, 10350 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California. ROLL CALL Present: Chair Dolly Sandoval, Vice-Chair Orrin Mahoney, and Agency Members Mark Santoro, Kris Wang and Gilbert Wong. Absent: none. A. Approve the minutes from the June 5 and 19, 2007 meetings. City Attorney Charles Kilian explained that, even though two of the current Redevelopment Agency members were not present at the June meetings, it was still permissible for them to vote on the minutes, although they could abstain from voting if they preferred. Wang/Sandoval moved and seconded to approve the minutes. The motion carried with Santoro and Wong abstaining. B. Review the Cupertino Redevelopment Agency Operating Budget for 2008-09. (No documentation in packet). Administrative Services Director Carol Atwood explained that the Redevelopment Agency's budget was included in the City of Cupertino budget as a special revenue fund, and she showed afive-year overview. She said that this fund was currently "underwater" because the owners had the property reassessed after the base amount was set when the Redevelopment Area was created. Also, some staff time has been charged to this fund, including half of the time of the Economic Development Manager, and there have also been a number of delays on the part of the developer, so the project has not kept to the original projected tax-increment timeline. June 2, 2008 Cupertino Redevelopment Agency Page 2 City Manager David Knapp said that there have already been huge investments in the property, so the taxable value has increased. Although it may take as long as two years for tax increment monies to reach the city, eventually there will be a positive cash flow which can be put back into the Redevelopment Area.
