3. Approve and authorize the Agency Executive Director to execute Amendment No. 1 to
Property Operating Agreement between the Muzeo Foundation, Anaheim
AGR 4839.1 Redevelopment Agency, and the City for the continued operation of the Muzeo (related
to Council Item No. 18).
Community Services Director Terry Lowe remarked that this item also related to Item, No. 18 on
the City Council agenda this evening. Since October 2007, he indicated staff had been working
in a collaborative manner with the Muzeo Foundation and since that time, over 40,000 visitors
had annually enjoyed the world class exhibits at the Muzeo.

He explained, the operating agreement was now ending and staff recommended extension of
that agreement for five years. Up to this point, he remarked, the Muzeo had access to a line of
credit of up to $1 million and staff was now proposing that line of credit be reduced for the first
year of this agreement to $500,000 and for the subsequent four years extension, it be reduced
to $200,000 per year. As a further incentive and to recognize the City's role in supporting the
good work of The Muzeo, staff suggested that if the Muzeo Foundation was successful in
raising an equal amount to the line of credit for each subsequent year, that line of credit would
be converted to a grant which would never exceed the cap permitted for each year.
Agency Member Galloway questioned the annual budget amount. Peter Comiskey, Muzeo
Executive Director, responded it was approximately $1.4 million. Agency Member Galloway
added the Muzeo was an important addition to Anaheim's cultural programs and services
offered to residents and visitors and she would support this contract extension.
Chairman Pringle commended Council for supporting the formation of The Muzeo and the
Foundation board and Muzeo staff for their very successful exhibits and also for their private
sector fund - raising efforts. He remarked the original Carnegie building had been operating as a
museum for many years at a cost of approximately $200,000 a year to the City to maintain and
operate. He stated that the continued contribution to the Muzeo reflected a similar support and
would help the non - profit entity to grow. He added that the successful Frog's Exhibit ended
today and on October 9 the opening of the Divine Reflections exhibit would take place, a
remarkable collection of Russian art and artifacts. He also indicated the Bank of America had
lent their extraordinary collection of Mexican American arts which would be on display through
the fall and encouraged the community to visit.
Agency Member Galloway moved to approve Item No. 3, seconded by Agency Member Kring.
Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 4: Chairman Pringle and Agency Members: Galloway, Hernandez and
Kring. Noes — 0. Absence — 1: Agency Member Sidhu.
4. RESOLUTION NO. ARA 2010 -005 A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY authorizing the issuance of not -to- exceed $6,573,000
principal amount of tax allocation bonds on certain terms and conditions, approving a
continuing disclosure certificate, approving the form and distribution of a Preliminary
R100 Official Statement and financing documents, authorizing certain other official actions and
providing for other matters relating thereto.
Community Development Director Elisa Stipkovich reported, if approved by the Agency, this
item would authorize the issuance of Recovery Zone bonds issued as part of the Federal
stimulus funds. The City of Anaheim had been given an allocation of $6,573,000 to issue debt
in which the federal government would provide a 45 percent interest subsidy. These bonds, she
stated, must be used specifically for public improvements and the infrastructure must be built
within the next three years. Staff anticipated using the funds primarily for street improvements
in the downtown area and also in Anaheim Canyon. The bonds would then be repaid with
redevelopment funds (tax increment funding). Ms. Stipkovich had asked this item be voted on
separate from the consent calendar and also requested that the companion agenda Item No. 31
be voted on separately as well.
Agency Member Hernandez moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. ARA 2010 -005 OF THE
ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY authorizing the issuance of not -to- exceed $6,573,000
principal amount of tax allocation bonds on certain terms and conditions, approving a
