ITEM EXPLANATION: At its special meeting on, March 15, 2011, the City Council discussed one of its priorities to partner with the local property owners, businesses and/or other stakeholders in the Village Area to develop a program, policies, financing mechanisms or other initiatives to spur local investment and foot traffic on a self-sustaining basis for the Village Area. At the special meeting, the City Council indicated its intent to distribute an RFP to identify an appropriate contractor to implement the above noted revitalization partnership program for the Village. On March 22, 2011, the City Council established a two member sub-committee and appointed Councilmember Douglas and Mayor Pro Tern Kulchin (Chair). The sub-committee was assigned to work with City staff to develop an RFP and recommend objective measures for the evaluation of subsequent proposals to implement the noted Village Revitalization Partnership Program. Upon receipt of said proposals, it was the City Council's intent to then have the sub- committee enlarged to include three to five additional persons from the community to evaluate proposals and return with recommendations to the full Housing and Redevelopment Commission on the costs, ways, and means of implementing the proposal.

COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED DENIED CONTINUED WITHDRAWN AMENDED X D D D D CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN RETURNED TO STAFF OTHER -SEE MINUTES Dn Dn Page 2 Due to a recent Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) determination that Mayor Hall and Councilmember Packard will not be able to participate in any decision related to this program and its implementation due to potential conflicts as property/business owners in the Village, the City Council is being asked to dissolve the sub-committee established on March 22, 2011. The original two member sub-committee now represents a quorum of elected officials authorized to act on said program development and implementation, and may not continue to act as originally intended by the Council. The attached City Council resolution will dissolve this sub-committee. In order to continue this effort to establish the noted program, the City Council is supporting action by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission to appoint one (1) of its members to work with Agency staff in the development of the RFP, and to subsequently serve on an advisory committee to be established at a later date to make recommendations to the Commission on the costs, ways and means of implementing the proposal. The attached resolution authorizes the Vice-Chair of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission to appoint one (1) eligible Commissioner to work with staff as noted above, and to ultimately serve on the larger Citizen Advisory Committee. Chairman Hall and Commissioner Packard will not be eligible to participate in said appointment. FISCAL IMPACT: Other than the expenditure of Commissioner and staff time, it is not anticipated that the noted appointment and solicitation of proposals will have a significant cost. It is anticipated, however, that there will be funding in a yet to be determined amount required for implementation of the project goals and that those costs will be provided by the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The noted appointment and solicitation of proposal is not a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) since there is no potential to cause either direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the physical environment under Public Resources section 21065.
