Subject: Report of the Community Development Director
Planning Commission Agenda Date: Tuesday, August 25, 2009
The City Council cancelled its regular meeting of August 18, 2009.
Miscellaneous Items:
1. David Kaneda Receives Award -Attached is a flyer on the Santa Clara County League of
Conservation Voters' 16th Annual Environmental Awards & Fundraising Event. It will be
held on Thursday, October 1St from 5:30 - 7:00 PM. David Kaneda will be honored as
Environmentalist of the Year.
2. Rosebowl - We issued Rosebowl's foundation permit in early August and construction
activity is underway. The complete building plans have now been submitted for plan check.
3. State Take-Aways - As of August 5, our budget and cash flow will be impacted by the State
budget crisis as follows:
- The State will borrow $1,318,875 from our General Fund to be paid back, with interest, in
three years. This is consistent with the assumptions approved in our 2009/10 budget.
- The State will take $62, 664 from our Redevelopment Agency. This will come back to
Council as a budget adjustment.
- The State will continue to defer vehicle license fees and gas tax payments to enhance
their own cash flow, but will not "take away" or "borrow' these funds at this time.
- The State will guarantee $100,000 for our COPS grant but has only funded $50,000. We
will keep you apprised as to the progress of collection of these funds.
All in all, we are just about where we predicted we would be.
4. Green Packets -We'd like to explore the possibility of sending the Planning Commission an
electronic meeting packet.
