CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Inland Valley Development Agency City Manager Leslie Keane reported from her memorandum regarding the City of Colton joining a Joint Powers Authority being formed to rede- velop Norton Air Force Base and the immediate surrounding area. Pur- suant to special legislation, agencies which have property within a three mile radius of Norton are eligible to participate, which would include the County and City of San Bernardino, the Cities of Colton, Loma Linda, Highland and Redlands. Each agency would put all, or a portion, of its land within the project boundaries into the new rede- velopment project, and property already included in a redevelopment project would be excluded. Ms. Keane continued the JPA would be governed by a 13 member board, three members from the City of San Bernardino and two each from the other jurisdictions. The board would make decisions regarding reuse of the base, including scope of any future commercial airport use. It could also fund public infrastructure improvements and low and moderate income housing projects within member jurisdictions, and pro- vide financial assistance to locate within the project area. Each City would contribute the tax increment from its property within the project area to redevelopment activities. It is currently proposed that cities would receive a pass-through of fifty percent of their current percentage of property tax as applied to new increment. Ms. Keane advised agencies who join the JPA will have a period of time to withdraw should issues associted with the agreement and the final redevelopment plan not be resolved to their satisfaction. The cities and County will also retain their individual abiliteis to make land use decisions on property within the project boundaries. Actions, such as eminent domain, would require a two-thirds vote of the agency board, as well as a two-thirds vote of the legislative body in whose jurisdic- tion property is located. Ms. Keane concluded Staff is recommending Council authorize inclusion of the City of Colton within the proposed Inland Valley Development Agency and also authorize two Members to serve on the Board of Directors, approve a draft of the Joint Powers Agreement, subject to approval by legal counsel, Best, Best & Krieger, and minor modifications to be nego- tiated by potential Agency Board members, and also authorize the City of Colton Members of the Board to approve such modifications, and approve the proposed redevelopment project boundary map. After additional discussion, moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Councilman Lofy, to approve Staff's recommendations as outlined, and appoint Mayor Gonzales and RDA Chairperson Cisneros to serve on the Board of Directors, with RDA Vice -Chairman Lofy to serve as an Alter- nate. Unanimous vote. 3 r JAN 1 6 19gLF .
