Honorable Supervisors: We the undersigned request you defer action on the referenced property disposition until such time as an impartial third-party review has been made of the valuation of the referenced property, and the circumstances related to decisions of the El Cerrito Redevelopment Agency (ECRDA) regarding same. Such impartial review should include fair-market appraisal of the referenced property and adjacent parcels comprising the"Uel Norte Marketplace"(DNMP) development sponsored by the ECRDA. The ECRDA's governors and the El Cerrito City Council have not exercised reasonable fiduciary duties in their actions and the disposition of the ANMD proposal, and related property transactions of public and private lands. The appraisal basis on which the proposed package of transactions is planned for later this week, is defective. Among other things, the ECRDA's holding costs for the properties have not been properly accounted. The appraisal itself is too dated to be used as a basis. The ECRDA's failure to maintain reasonable fiduciary standards its the assernblage and disposition of the DNMP parcels has had a.negative impact on the valuation of the County interests in 1820 Peerless Avenue. We believe the ECRDA improperly devalued the County property in question when its valuation was set in 1992, and sought to diminish or eliminate the provision of social services in West County in its approach to referenced property disposition. Apparently no effort was made to include County offices in a redevelopment plan. The appraisal being used as a basis for ECRDA proposed transactions erroneously maintains that a strip shopping center is the highest and best use of the proposed DNMP property in making a reuse evaluation. The consensus of residents of tine community who have met on this question, in private and public weetings including a focused task force, is that this is not so. The highest and best use must be related to the area's fundamental f r r EUS Item D.5 - El Cerrito RDA r November 4, 1997 Page 2 of 2 character as a public transit crossroads for Northwest Contra Costa County, and the drawing of a well .integrated masterplan that fully utilizes flus aspect. Many citizens working for orderly development, have sought to have the City engage in a revision of its General.Plan before committing Del Norte area developments to an unwise and financially imprudent course. El Cerrito currently does not have a viable General Plan, and is operating under an interim arrangement, The DNMP development does not qualify as an exception for General Planning application, and should await the revision of the General.Plat. The ECRDA is currently planning on giving over $1.5 IM of acquisition cost-value to the developer in question. We believe the developer will be further subsidized by the undervaluation of the County property. In addition, the ECRDA has holding period costs which it has;not publicly disclosed, that may result in a City public subsidy well in excess of$2.OM for the assembled properties it proposes to sell to the developer for $2.1M. The conditions of sale as proposed by the ECRDA are unacceptable to both City and County public interests. The properties in question are valuable and we are confident the County will obtain better value for its interests and holding period risk, after a reasonable planniug process has brought matters under the control and protection of an accepted General Plan. We expect this will occur in the corning months. Respectfully submitted, Peter Loubal William L.
