719 AND 723 W. H~?3.~ To consider the Resolution for condemnation of
property at 719 and 723 W. Hall.
See Staff Report dated November 7, 1995 from the Community Development
Department recommending adoption of the resolution of necessity.
Chairman Daly. This is the time and place for a due process hearing on the
proposed acquisition.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. Staff is
recommending that the Authority take action in order to implement the South of
Romneya Revitalization Plan. They have been working in the neighborhood for
at least three years on the plan. Their attempts to work with some current
property owners have not been successful and, therefore, have switched to an
acquisition process and do have a Cooperation Agreement between the
Redevelopment Agency, Housing Authority and the City to help implement the
program. They also have a Disposition and Development Agreement with the
developer to take over the property to revitalize it and put it under one
ownership. In that process, the Housing Authority will still maintain
ownership of the property and have the long-range ability to get the property
back after the debt service is completed as well as getting the net cash value
off the project. The two particular properties are needed to implement the

project. In this case, they have a letter from the owner requesting that the
Authority take this action. He admits the property is at a point where it is
overencumbered, he is unable to maintain the property and taking this action
would help him clear the additional debt on the property. That letter has
been submitted to the Authority.
Chairman Daly. The Hearing is now open. He then asked if the property owner
or a representative of the property owner was present and wished to speak.
Only the property owner or representative may present testimony. No one was
present. On the advice of the City Attorney, he thereupon closed the hearing.
