SALUTE TO THE FLAG The meeting was opened with salute to the flag led by City Manager McCabe. PUBLIC HEARINGS The CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING on a PROPOSED URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACTION GRANT APPLICATION (UDAG), RMI, Inc. Shipyard, National City, CA was held at this time. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive Director, Community Development Commission, said this is the second hearing on this matter; last week we heard from a Darrell Reed of RMI Shipyards who is interested in applying for a $2 million grant; a question was raised at that time concerning use of the action grant money when it is repaid to the City; when the grant is paid back to the City, the City must follow the Housing Act of 1974 and use the money to benefit low and moderate income residents of the City. Councilman Dalla requested that be put down in writing. Councilman Van Deventer asked if the City could use the money for home loans, etc. Mr. Peterson replied yes, a lot of things could be done with the money. Councilman Van Deventer asked that that be included in his letter. Councilman Dalla said he would just as soon not get a copy of the entire regulations. Mr. Peterson said it would be a list from the regulation. Councilman Cooper inquired when Mr. Peterson got this information. Mr. Peterson replied last Thursday by telephone and he verified it on Friday with HUD in Los Angeles. There was discussion regarding affirmative action, increasing minority employment over a period of five years; whether this meant hiring additional personnel. Asst. City Attorney McLean said Council should be aware that if they acted favorably on this application, that will be followed with an agreement between the City and the Federal Government and these things can be looked at during negotiations; the City will also be contracting with the individuals; this is a preliminary step; Council would see the contract with the Federal Government before they are locked in. Councilman Van Deventer said last week General Cardenas assured us that would be no problem. Mr. Peterson replied only HUD can determine that; the General had no authority to guarantee approval. Two representatives of RMI were present and answered Council's questions. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Cooper, the hearing be closed and the UDAG Grant be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Morgan. The CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING on a PROPOSED URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACTION GRANT APPLICATION (UDAG), VADA Industries, Chula Vita, CA was held at this time.

TONY VALENCIA, Co -Principal, VADA Industries, was present and said he was unable to be here last week; from what he was told the gentleman who was here did a good job.

Terms are not specified. Meets on call only. Five members were appointed in 1972. No further appointments were made. As the committee has not met for at least ten years, it would probably be best to start from scratch. You may want to amend the ordinance to establish specific terms prior to making any appointments. If this is the case, you may want to consider having the appointees draw lots for short terms so that all will not leave the committee at one time. Committee for Housing and Community Development Members of this Committee serve two-year terms (4/29-4/28). There are nine vacancies. Five incumbents have submitted applications. Park and Recreation Advisory Board Members of this Board serve three-year terms (1+/1-3/31). There are two vacancies. No incumbent filed an application. Planning Commission Members of this Commission serve four-year terms (4/1-3/31). There are two vacancies. One incumbent has filed application. There are nine other applications for this Commission. Street Tree and Parkway Committee Members of this Committee serve four-year terms (5/1-1+/30). There are two vacancies. One incumbent has filed application. Sister City Committee This Committee has not been established formally by either Resolution or Ordinance. There is nothing which specifies the number of members, terms of office, etc. You may want to establish the Committee formally prior to making any appointments and to consider having the appointees draw lots for short term on these first appointments.
