Interim Executive Director Wang stated the Deputy Director of Redevelopment John Perfit will give a detailed report of the statues of the investigations. Deputy Director of Redevelopment John Perfit stated K& K has completed a comprehensive Phase One investigation and some of the initial Phase Two investigations at the site. Unfortunately, the combination of these two investigations has uncovered some issues related to ground water at the site as well as the soil. At this point the development knows that both in the ground water and in the soil, Tricoraletholien which is a common solvent used for degreasing and cleaning exists. It has higher level in the ground water which are more of a concern. The good news is that often times ground water at a site can be remeditated while the Redevelopment activity is on going. The property has been and continues to be in escrow contingent on these environmental issue being resolved. Agency staff inembers are going to the feds for $160,000.00 dollars for Brownfields money because the new program requires a 20% local match. The Agency sent out the application and expect to reply in February or March if the City can apply any clean up funds to the K& K site. The Agency is still cooperating with the Regional Board to assure that priority processing and oversight is provided to the K& K site. So the environmental issue can be address and remeditated hopefully as soon as possible. Mayor Pro-Tem Vasquez asked what would be the total cost for the entire site for clean up. Deputy Director of Redevelopment John Perfit responded the total cost is estimated by the consultant. Unfortunately, the consultant was hired by the seller and at this point it is confidential information, which will be available in a couple of weeks at which time the Agency will know the total cost. For the purpose of the Brownfield application the Agency estimated a rough amount a million but do not hold him to that. He will know more in a couple of weeks. Mayor Pro-Tem Vasquez stated the City is in the process of entering into a ENA with the developer for the Plaza Mexico expansion project. How would the approval of this impact the ENA. ~ Director of Redevelopment Louis Morales responded that matter is scheduled to be heard in closed session, and it will center around the property negotiations with the ~l contamination and ENA. As of right now the Agency is considering doing a ENA with ~ the expansion of the Plaza Mexico the Agency has two willing buyers and sellers that are - looking to buy the property and those are the two parties that are paying for the studies in connection with the source of contamination and what will be the cost to have it cleaned up. If the Agency would enter an ENA right now it would impact some of the discussion and some of the negotiations that the Agency has in place with the two parties that are willing to undertake the clean up. More detail will be provided in closed session. Deputy Director of Redevelopment John Perfit stated this is a receive and file update that is provided tonight. It was moved by Member Pedroza seconded by Member Santillan and carried to receive and file the environmental report on the K& K site.
