Our comments and changes are shown in track changes or redline format. Some of the changes are conforming or clarifying changes or corrections, but some are substantive changes (i.e.,the ordinance did not contain any of the findings required for the plan amendment). Please note there are still a couple blanks and questions throughout the documents that need to be addressed or completed prior to completion. Another note--we have eliminated the Procedural Outline from the staff report. This should be viewed as an internal document, and provided to only those people who specifically need it. It should not be viewed as a general public document, as it is merely an outline of the steps for the hearing to make sure all the evidence is presented and made a part of the record. Iris also wanted me to mention to you that, because of the time sensitive nature of things right now with the budget proposals involving the future of redevelopment, the Council may want to consider having an adjourned regular meeting(not a special meeting) on March 10 for the second reading of the Ordinance (assuming there are no written objections received).

I found a few documents in the example documents you sent that weren't included in the time schedule,so I just want to make sure I have everything covered. 1. Notice of Determination (being filed today). 2. Town Clerk sends Ordinance to newspaper for publication (done—will be published March 18). 3. Town Clerk sends copy of Ordinance adopting the Amendment to the Redevelopment Agency(in process). 4. Town Clerk records notice of Amendment with theCounty Recorder(in process). 5. Town Clerk sends copy of Ordinance to Taxing Agencies,the County Auditor-Controller, County Assessor, and the State Board of Equalization (in process). Does this need to be certified, return receipt like the first notices? Please let me know if there is anything else I need on my radar. Thanks for all your help throughout this process!

I put the CEQA findings into the Town ordinance, rather than having a separate resolution, as is my practice. Please take a look. The Town actually did the negative declaration, not the Agency, which resulted in that language.. Given the current Council makeup putting the"script" in the packet was unavoidable and very necessary. Hopefully no one will show up in any event. While I took a different approach on the ordinance language I see your point. We will put out a revised version before Thursday and get it out to the Council. I have asked for an adjourned meeting on the 10th anyway, to act on the"encumbrance"agreements between the Town and the Agency, samples of which were sent to Iris on Friday.We can put second reading of the ordinance on there as well. I will be working with the staff today on plugging the specifics into one of the three types of agreements so that all of the current funding is committed. Any comments you or Iris have on the draft agreements would be appreciated as they get refined over the next few days. I spent some time with the RDA bill on Friday, what a disaster area! If anything like that passes it will be full employment for Brent et al....Any new date on the BBK webinar?

The only thing I want to bring to your attention is the requirement that the notice of joint public hearing and a copy of the Report must be mailed to the Department of Finance and the Department of Housing and Community Development at least 45 days prior to the public hearing (Health and Safety Code Section 33451.5(b) and (c)). Given the March 3 joint public hearing,this notice must be sent no later than January 17. My apologies if Iris or Don have already discussed this with you, but I have not been fully involved in this project and just wanted to make sure you were aware of this requirement and had this on your radar. Although the Council will not have yet acted to set the public hearing, given the technical issue that the Council and Agency members are the same, in this case it is not a problem to send the public hearing notice out prior to Council action to set the hearing.

(dfraser@surewest.net) Subject: RE: Redevelopment Plan Amendment Bonnie, Iris has been tied up and asked me to take a look at the documents you sent. They all look good. The only thing I want to bring to your attention is the requirement that the notice of joint public hearing and a copy of the Report must be mailed to the Department of Finance and the Department of Housing and Community Development at least 45 days prior to the public hearing(Health and Safety Code Section 33451.5(b)and (c)). Given the March 3 joint public hearing,this notice must be sent no later than January 17. 1 My apologies if Iris or Don have already discussed this with you, but I have not been fully involved in this project and just wanted to make sure you were aware of this requirement and had this on your radar. Although the Council will not have yet acted to set the public hearing,given the technical issue that the Council and Agency members are the same, in this case it is not a problem to send the public hearing notice out prior to Council action to set the hearing. If you are not able to make this mailing date, please let us know. Please don't hesitate to contact either Iris or me with any questions or comments you may have,or if there is any further assistance we can provide.

Don 1 FA FRASER & ASSOCIATES Redevelopment and Financial Consulting 225 Holmfirth Court Phone: (916)791-8958 - Roseville CA 95661 FAX: (916)791-9234 MEMO DATE: December 13, 2010 TO: Dennis Crabb FROM: Don Fraser RE: Redevelopment Plan Bond Limit COMMENTS The Truckee Redevelopment Agency is in the process of amending its Redevelopment Plan to incorporate a bond limit. The Plan had been inadvertently adopted without such a limit, which is required under the Community Redevelopment Law. You had requested confirmation of the amount and the methodology we used to set the bond limit. The Preliminary Report, in Section IV, had included information on how we set the bond limit of$75 million. By way of background, a May 1998 draft of the Redevelopment Plan had included a $45 million bond limit. That limit was removed from the Plan that was adopted by the City Council on October 15, 1998, and so there is no bond limit in the current Plan. In setting the bond limit, we prepared tax increment projections through 2020-21, as shown on Table 1 from the Preliminary Report. Those projections were based on the build out of new development under the Downtown Specific Plan and so take into account the potential for future growth. The projected net tax increment and housing tax increment in 2020-21 were used to set the limit on the principal amount of bonds that can be outstanding at one time. The current Agency time limit on the incurring of new debt is October 15, 2018 (2018-19 fiscal year). It was assumed that the Agency would issue a final bond issue during that fiscal,year. It was further assumed that the Agency would issue bonds that would include an escrow component that would be sized in accordance with the amount of net tax increment and housing set-aside revenues in 2020-21. Under an escrow structure, a portion of the bonds are held FA FRASER &ASSOCIATES Memo Page 2 in a fund and cannot be released until tax increment has grown sufficiently to provide coverage. Table 2 from the Preliminary Report shows our calculation of the bond limit. Using an assumption of a 5.5 percent interest rate and a 30 year term, it is estimated that the Agency could issue $40 million of tax increment bonds and $22 million of housing bonds. When combined with the currently outstanding bonds from 2010 of$12.7 million, the total bond amount, when rounded, would total $75 million. This is the principal amount of bonds that can be outstanding that will be included in the Redevelopment Plan. We hope that this information is useful to you. Please let me know if you have any questions.
