A. COST RECOVERY SYSTEM
Staff presented to the Committee a proposal to revise and streamline the current
cost recovery fee calculation process. The proposal would streamline the current
process by reducing the number of overhead rates, fringe benefit rates, and fee
categories. The proposed system would also remove from the ordinance the
established recovery rates and allow for cost-of-living and market sensitivity
adjustments to be considered.

The Committee directed staff to provide them with a representative sample of fees
comparing calculations and revenue impacts utilizing the existing methodology
versus the proposed methodology. Also, the committee chairman requested staff
provide a brief narrative describing how fees would be prepared with the proposed
methodology.
B. ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW REDEVELOPMENT AREAS
The Economic and Community Development Director gave a presentation to the
Committee regarding alternatives for establishing two new redevelopment project
areas. Alternative (A) involved establishing the two project areas simultaneously or
"parallel," and Alternative (B) was based on establishing the project areas on a
phased or "staggered" basis. Discussion regarding available funding of the
proposed project areas ensued. A representative of the Association of Old Town
Kern spoke in support of establishing the new redevelopment project areas.
Committee member Carson spoke in support of establishing the redevelopment
areas utilizing the parallel approach.
For the January 5, 1998 Committee meeting, staffwas directed to prepare general
policy guidelines on how the redevelopment project areas would operate, prepare
a time line for implementation of the new project areas, review the underlying
assumptions included in the presentation and brief the CDDA on the alternatives.
The Committee requested a meeting in January with a CDDA Ad Hoc Committee
on this issue to receive input. Once the requested information is provided, the
Committee will make an evaluation of the next steps to be taken in this process.
