RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2011-090 APPROVING dissolution of City Council
sub-committee (of two members) formed on March 22, 2011 to develop a Request for
Proposals (RFP) and make recommendations to the City Council regarding a partnership
with property owners, businesses and stakeholders in the Village Area to create a
program, policies or other financing mechanisms to spur local investment and foot traffic;
and,
2. Adopt Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No.502
APPROVING appointment of one (1) Commissioner to work with staff on development of
a Request for Proposals (RFP) and subsequent recommendations to the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission and/or City Council regarding a partnership with property
owners, businesses and stakeholders in the Village Area to create a program, policies or
other financing mechanisms to spur local investment and foot traffic, and to serve on an
advisory committee to be established at a later date to make recommendations on
selection of a contractor following receipt of said proposals.
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.

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.
EXHIBITS:
1. City Council Resolution No. 2011-090 APPROVING dissolution of City
Council sub-committee (of two members) formed on March 22, 2011.
2. Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No. 502
APPROVING appointment of one (1) member to work with staff on a RFP process for
the Village Revitalization Partnership Program.
