MEMORANDUM
Arcadia Redevelopment Agency

TO: Mayor and City Council
Chair and Agency Board Members
FROM: Jason Kruckeberg, Assistant City Manager /Development Services Director :AK-
By: Jerry Schwartz, Economic Development Manager d"
SUBJECT: Rusnak DDA; Request to Continue the Public Hearing to a Date Uncertain
The May 3 City Council meeting agenda includes a joint City Council /Redevelopment
Agency Public Hearing and consideration of a Disposition and Development Agreement
(DDA) with Rusnak. The item has been continued twice from the initial noticed hearing
date of April 5th
While there has been significant progress made on the DDA, including receiving a
comprehensive set of comments from Rusnak's outside counsel, the document is still a
work in progress. Agency Counsel is preparing a revised draft DDA based on the
direction from Council during Closed Session at the April 20 meeting. That document
will need to be reviewed by Rusnak and its attorney.
Since the DDA is still being modified and it is not clear when it will be completed, it is
recommended that this item be continued to a date uncertain. When the DDA is ready
for Council /Agency consideration, the hearing will be renoticed as required by
Redevelopment Law. During this time period, staff will also conduct a further
environmental review for the project, and it will be included in the public notice and as
part of the public hearing. A formal action to continue the hearing is required because a
noticed public hearing was continued to the May 3rd meeting.
Approved:
Donald Penman, City Manager /Executive Director
