ITEM 2 -    RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF VACAVILLE TO APPROVE A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VACAVILLE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND SIERRA WEST BANK TO IMPROVE THE AGENCY TEMPORARY PARKING LOT AT ELIZABETH AND MASON STREETS

Director Learned stated that in 1997 the Agency purchased a lot on the corner of Mason and Elizabeth Streets which has served as a temporary parking lot.  Sierra West Bank is now building a new branch bank at the corner of Mason and Elizabeth Streets and has approached the Agency about completing permanent improvements to the Agency’ s lot.  Director Learned stated that this could be done via a public improvement development agreement between the Agency and Sierra West Bank.  He then explained the key business points.  He noted that the cost to the Agency for the finished lot compares favorably to the cost-per-space figures estimated by the City’ s Public Works Department.  He stated that the lot could be built over a 60-day period, between now and September 1, 1999.  Upon completion of improvements, the Agency would pay the bank $150,000 in the form of a promissory note, for five years, carrying a tax-exempt interest rate.  Director Learned stated that, at its March 17 meeting, the Housing and Redevelopment Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Agency proceed with the project.
