REVISED FIVE YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AS AMENDED FOR THE PERIOD

Executive Director Cole stated the California State Health and Safety Code requires
that every Redevelopment Agency adopt a Five Year Implementation Plan which
illustrates the Agency's program, particularly in terms of establishing and meeting
housing objectives. The State Law also mandates that the Implementation Plan be
revised every five years. The revised plan summarizes activity relative to the
Redevelopment Project Area and provides an update of Agency efforts in utilizing
available housing funds.
The initial Plan was adopted in 1994. At this time, the Temple City Community
Redevelopment Agency will consider adopting a revised Five Year Implementation
Plan.

The Rosemead Boulevard Redevelopment Project Area, which was adopted in 1972,
is the City's only redevelopment project area, consisting of Blocks A through E. The
Agency, within the last year or so, has been much more active than in the recent
past. The activities of the Agency are included in the Plan. Despite a number of
different actions undertaken in the five years, blight continues to exist in the
redevelopment agency. Most recently actions were taken involving the Edwards
Theater and Herbert Hawkins parcels in Block D.
In terms of housing, the Agency and the City have been actively engaged in a
Housing Rehabilitation Program since 1995. Initially, the Agency utilized over
$800,000 in bond proceeds to fund a housing rehabilitation grant program which
offered eligible homeowners up to $10,000 for necessary home improvements.
Grants could be supplemented by loans to a maximum of $20,000. The grant
program was reduced in scope and replaced with a deferred loan program which
allowed income eligible homeowners to receive up to $25,000 for essential home
improvements, at an interest rate of 3 %, and no payments due until the sale of the
property or change in title.
It was recommended to receive public testimony and adopt the proposed resolution
adopting the revised Five Year Implementation Plan.
Chairman Zovak opened the public hearing.
Hearing no requests to speak, either for or against this item, the public hearing was
closed.
