OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 4 Printed on 5/24/2023 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 27, 2023 Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. So, this is an item -- for the record, a couple of things. This is an item that only applies to the government building that we have inside the Omni -- Board Member Reyes: Yes. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: -- CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency), that will provide a tremendous amount of revenue, depending on what our executive director negotiates. We still have a discrepancy -- we're still having conversations about what that amount's going to be -- H. Bert Gonzalez (Executive Director, CRA): Yes, sir. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: -- with the company. And obviously, you're having conversations with them. We're just authorizing you to begin that negotiation process. It's going to come back to us. We'll have a debate how much revenue it will generate for our city, which I think is an important thing. It only applies to one particular building in the entire city, so you know. Board Member Covo: Which one is it? Chair Diaz de la Portilla: The Omni CRA, the building -- the old Viacom building. Board Member Covo: The old Viacom, oh. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: The old Viacom building, so that's going to apply -- so it just gives them the authority to negotiate a good revenue generator for our city, and then we move forward. It'll come back to us anyway to have the final deal. Board Member Reyes: And we will have (INAUDIBLE). Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, we have plenty of time to talk about it. Board Member Reyes: (INAUDIBLE) and I will like to go by it and look at -- because I see the buildings right now -- I mean, a rendering of how it is going to look, and I just want to have the opportunity to -- Chair Diaz de la Portilla: I share some of your concern. Board Member Reyes: Yes, sir. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: We're not going to put billboards all over the place. This is for one government -owned building that's going to be in front of what's the future underdeck that's being created by the signature bridge, and I think it's going to be a great revenue generator for those areas that need to be revitalized, and that's why -- Board Member Covo: So, similar to what we have on the police building as well. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Correct, something like that. And we'll -- Board Member Covo: Or bigger. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: No, it's 20 by 20. Mr. Gonzalez: Chairman, if I -- if ;you (INAUDIBLE) me -- OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 5 Printed on 5/24/2023 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 27, 2023 Chair Diaz de la Portilla: No, hold on a second. It's 20 by 20, right? Mr. Gonzalez: Yes, sir. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: The maximum that it can be. Mr. Gonzalez: Maximum, the limit size. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: So, it's not oversized. Board Member Covo: So, it's next to 395, right there. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Basically, yeah, where the underdeck is. Board Member Covo: What -- yeah, my only concern is if -- when it happens in parks and things like that because I think that contaminates -- Board Member Reyes: Yes. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: We're not -- that's not my intent. I'm -- Board Member Reyes: Okay. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: We're not going to create a New York here, don't worry. But we are going to -- Board Member Covo: Well, we're -- Chair Diaz de la Portilla: -- generate some revenue. Board Member Covo: -- looking similar. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Well, I think New York is already creating New York here, but that's a different conversation, right? Board Member Covo: Exactly. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: So -- Board Member Reyes: I -- I -- I'm inclined -- if you will limit it just to certain buildings -- Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Government buildings, yeah. Board Member Reyes: No, but that they face only I-95 -- Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Right. Board Member Reyes: -- or they face 595. But my main concern is with the illumination -- Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Proliferation of it, I understand. Board Member Reyes: -- illumination that is it going to affect the neighbors. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Right. OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 6 Printed on 5/24/2023 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 27, 2023 Board Member Reyes: That is my -- hut since you are not -- this -- none of this is going to be on a -- on -- next to any -- Chair Diaz de la Portilla: No, sir. Board Member Reyes: -- residential building or anything. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: No, sir. It's going to face the highway. Board Member Reyes: Okay, then 1 will support it. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Help me. Yeah, appreciate that. So, we have a -- Board Member King: Motion. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: -- unanimous vote. Board Member King: Motion. Board Member Covo: Second. Board Member King: All in favor? The Board Members (Collectively): Aye. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Thank you. Board Member Reyes: Okay. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: I think we 're done. Board Member Reyes: Yeah. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: That concludes our meeting, and lunchtime for everyone. Thank you. Thank you for your support, Commissioner. Board Member Covo: Thank you. Chair Diaz de la Portilla: I know it's your district, so thank you. Thank you. Mr. Gonzalez: Thank you, Board.
