For the record these minutes are verbatim from the recorded tape.
Member Richards -Stated to the Chairman that he had called yesterday and advised the
Executive Director that he has a pending emergency today and it has been our practice
when a Member has an emergency or over this passed year if there has been any reason
the body is in fit to reschedule any meeting, for example in our last budget sessions when
it was known that a Member was not going to be available we simply rescheduled
meetings and we have even had occasions were one or two Members have not showed up
for a meeting. You knew well in advance that I had a pending emergency this morning
and yet you still saw fit to direct staff to prepare for this morning meeting and I see that
you have the Deputy Agency Counsel, Assistant Executive Director, Head Departments
and Staff and I am really disturb by your action.
Chairman Reyes -Stated to Member Richards that if he was not going to show up for
this meeting then he will be excused, the Members voted to have this Special meeting
stated he did not vote to have this Special Meeting, you should have advised your
Members who voted with you not to show up then there would have not been a meeting.
Member Richards -Stated that there is no need to play any games, because if there is a
desire to have a full body and to have all Members present which we have done in the
past then I would not move forward with this charade, so any way I have said what I had
to say now I ask to be excused at this time, but to me it is just a high of classlessness to
move forward with this.
Chairman Reyes -Stated to Member Richards that he made the motion to hold this
meeting and if he had told his body Members who voted with him that he was not going
to be able to come, then there would have been no meeting.
Member Richards -Stated to the Chairman that if this is what it is about the fact that it
was a three to two vote it is only a commend courtesy or dignity to indicate to provide the
opportunity to rescheduled the meeting at a later time.
Member Richards -Also Stated to the Chairman that he has canceled meetings and no
one has showed up but me and Member Byrd and the meetings have not gone forward no
staff has been present because every one knew except us and yet you have rescheduled
when you knew we had to move forward but this morning when you are fully aware that I
have a pending emergency my mother is in surgery you did not have the commend
courtesy and respect to allow this meeting to continue, that is wrong and I do not care
what you say I am really angered because this is a personal attack and I do not appreciate
it.
Chairman Reyes -Stated to Member Richards that this is not a personal attack, you guys
made a decision and I respect it.
Member Richards -Moved to have a Special Meeting on Thursday October 10,2002 at
9:00 a.m. and to include all items that were listed on Monday's Agenda.

REGULAR ITEM
Item #1: PROPOSED FY 2002-2003 BUDGET PLAN
Executive Director Gonzales -Stated the Budget Process started in early April when staff
presented athree-year projection of all funds based upon current expenditure level. The
April numbers showed annual expenditures at a higher level than the annual revenues in
the General Fund. This results in the reliance on the General Fund reserves to sustain on-
going operations. To reserve this trend, the Department Directors scrutinized their
departmental operation and ascertained areas to streamline without critically impacting
services as well as to continue to meet our obligations. Base on those meetings the
following corrective actions were formulated, which embody the proposed budget.
• Decrease operational cost.
• Reorganization of Departments for greater efficiency.
• Enhancement of ongoing revenues.
• One Time Potential Revenue Sources.
• Scheduling of payback of general fund liabilities.
Executive Director Gonzales -Also stated that if the proposed budget is adopted, the
City can reduce the spending above revenues sources and will assure a healthy financial
environmental for the City.

Summary Budget of the Departments, Lynwood Redevelopment Agency and the

Staff an adjustment now of the expenditures of the City's revenues.
Member Richards -Questioned the sales tax revenue of the Walgreen Drug Store
projection.
Community Development Director Morales -Explained to the Members that the revenue
is about 250.00 dollars square foot, we are looking at about 1,400.00 dollars annually.
Member Richards -Questioned on the Agency Counsels salary believes it is outrageous
to have to pay double the amount for two Agency Counsels when we have never had the
need for two Agency Counsels.
Executive Director Gonzales -Stated we have those long going cases still pending, a
number of lawsuits that we are now still dealing with and those certainly have to be taken
into consideration.
Member Richards -Stated that even if we took a look at the pending cases the amount of
projection increases in legal fees far exceeds the amount of in declaims that we have.
Chairman Reyes -Stated he disagrees with Member Richards there are still a lot of cases
pending and they need to be taken care of, would like to continue with the Proposed
Budget presentations.

Executive Director Gonzales -Explained to the Members the department's changes from
the chart.
Member Richards -Stated he would like to try to make all the positions in the
department available to the staff, and would also like for every Department Head to talk
to their department staff on the changes that would be made in regards to their position.
Chairman Reyes -Stated he believes this discussion is very risky without the Members
having approved the changes, but we have not approved the changes how would they be
able to go to the employees and tell them that their position will be reclassified or that
their position is going to be deleted you are putting the management on line.
Member Richards -Stated he would just like for the Department Heads to consult the
changes with their staff.
Executive Director Gonzales -Explained to the Members that the adoption of the Budget
does not implement creation of the positions for which we do not yet have a description
those descriptions will be done and brought to the Members like we have in the past the
numbers that are in the budget reflect a period of time for that implementation to take
place for the discussion that are being described during the implementation period to be
conducted with the employees to be conducted with the bargaining unit and monetarily
that time has been built into this document.
It was moved by Chairman Reyes, seconded by Member Rodriguez and carried to
approve the Community Development Proposed Budget.
Member Richards -Stated he has a substitute motion that the personnel from Human
Resources bring back the concerning issues of reclassification of titles and positions and
to hear from them first.

reflect the actual amount that has been saved for this half year period.

Deputy City Treasurer it would help solve some of the Treasurers issues.
Vice Chairman Pedroza -Stated that he also has no problem with providing the City
Treasurer with a Deputy City Treasurer, because he does not agree with the Chairman

Shirley Wolf, Redevelopment Project Manager
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF 3181 FERNWOOD AVENUE, 3200 SANBORN AVENUE
AND THE CITY YARD FOR THE PLAZA MEXICO REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT USING THE CDBG SECTION 108 LOAN FUNDS
Purpose:
To have the Agency approve the resolution for the purchase of the three subject parcels
using the Section 108 Loan Funds.
Facts
1. The three properties are adjacent to the Plaza Mexico redevelopment project and
are designated in the Amended and Restated Disposition and Development
Agreement as properties to be acquired for the project.
2. The purchase prices have been negotiated as follows:
3181 Fernwood Avenue - $900,000.00
3200 Sanborn Avenue - $600,000.00
The City Yard - $300,000.00
3. The City applied for and received funding from the CDBG Section 108 Loan
Program for the purpose of acquiring property for the Plaza Mexico
Redevelopment Project.
Discussion:
The subject Property is part of the Plaza Mexico expansion project. The Plaza Mexico
expansion encompasses the area bounded by State Street, Imperial Highway, Long
Beach Boulevard and the I-105 freeway. The existing building will be razed for the
development of future buildings and to accommodate much need parking for the
proposed expansion project. With the exception of the Edison property, these three
parcels are the final sites to be acquired per the current DDA.
The Section 108 loan was approved by HUD and the funds have been deposited into a
City account. The Plaza Mexico Redevelopment Project is one of the approved projects
under the Section 108 loan application and property acquisition is an approved activity.
Recommendation:
Staff respectfully requests that after consideration, the Agency adopt the resolution
approving the purchase of 3181 Fernwood for $900,000.00, 3200 Sanborn for
$600,000.00 and the City Yard for $300,000.00 plus related acquisition costs with Section
108 loan funds, authorize the Executive Director to execute the Purchase Agreement and
related escrow documents and direct the City Treasurer to deposit the required funds
