Staff, the Agency Chair and the Business and Housing Development Committee recommend that the Redevelopment Agency: 1. Adopt a resolution, adding two at-large residential representatives to the composition of the Redevelopment Advisory Committee; and 2. Appoint the attached list of nominees (Exhibit A) to the new RAC. BACKGROUND In October 2008, the Agency adopted a Resolution to create a new RAC, including the following stakeholders -one property owner, one business owner and one resident who lives within 500 feet of each of the three Project Areas, plus one stakeholder representing the housing community (i.e., non- profit housing agency, multi-family property owner, or multi-family residential developer). The new RAC is being created in order to obtain valuable and representative input on projects proposed in the City's Redevelopment Areas. In order to select a diverse group of stakeholders, the City's outreach efforts included written notices to business and property owners within the project areas, and residents living within 500 feet of the project areas. In addition, press releases were distributed and an advertisement placed in the local paper. Information was also placed on City's website and notices were sent to homeowners associations, business associations, Chamber of Commerce, individuals suggested by City Council members, and to housing experts. Applications were also sent to the former members of the discontinued WSL and Joint RACs.
