Victor J. Westman, County Counsel Contra
By: Sharon L. Anderson, Deputy County Counsel
Costa
DATE : September 25 , 1990 CoUly
SUBJECT: Special Counsel,
(Nancy Miller - Hyde, Miller and Savage)
SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECO MIENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Approve Agreement for Legal Services with Nancy Miller of
the law offices of Hyde, Miller and Savage.
2 . Authorize the Board Chair to sign Agreement on behalf of
Contra Costa County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Cost will be paid out of the General .Fund, which will be reduced
unless the City of Pleasant Hill reconsiders it'..s decision to keep all tax
increment derived from the area through the year 2032 .
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The City of Pleasant Hill plans to amend its Pleasant Hill
Commons Redevelopment Project. The existing redevelopment plan has a
$52, 000, 000 tax increment cap. The amendment would increase the cap to
$346 , 000, 000 and extend the life of the cap for two years to the year
2032 . The -County, along with other affected taxing agencies, has recently
concluded Fiscal Review Committee hearings . At those hearings, the
Pleasant Hill Redevelopment Agency made it clear that it does not plan to
share any of the tax increment it will derive from the amendment with the
County or any other affected taxing entity. County staff calculates that
both increased costs and lost revenues will result from the project
amendment, resulting in substantial financial burden or detriment in
excess of $116, 000, 00O. over the life of the project.
The amendment to the Pleasant Hill Commons Redevelopment Project
is scheduled for adoption in November, 1990 . The County requires the
services of Hyde, Miller and Savage to challenge the amendment at the time
of adoption and, if the agency remains firm in its decision not to share
increment, to initiate legal action. The County also requires the services
of Hyde, Miller and Savage to evaluate whether the City has properly
compiled with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and to take
whatever action is necessary to ensure compliance.
