Council approves third amendment to redevelopment agreement with Eastern Pacific Development
Summary
Council separately considered and approved Resolution No. 143-26 authorizing a Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement with Eastern Pacific Development, LLC; a resident questioned prioritizing a tax break while the library faces potential closure.
Council took separate up-or-down action on Consent Agenda item M-25 and approved Resolution No. 143-26 authorizing execution of a Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement with Eastern Pacific Development, LLC and related sale and contract documents.
Councilwoman Marian King moved the separate consideration and Councilwoman Rosemary DeQuinzio seconded the motion; the Clerk recorded affirmative roll-call marks for the four council members present. During the public hearings for related redevelopment ordinances, resident Ramon Mora (also referenced as Ramon/Roman Mora, Jr. in the minutes) asked why the City would consider a tax break for a business while the library faces possible closure: "how the City was considering a tax break for a business but can't afford to keep the library open." Council took the separate vote on M-25 and recorded the measure as adopted.
Why it matters: the amendment and related contract actions are part of an ongoing redevelopment project for Phase I of construction on designated blocks and lots, potentially affecting tax exemptions, project timelines, and municipal finances. The public question about prioritization reflects community scrutiny over the city's redevelopment incentives relative to social services.
