FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated fiscal impacts for the proposed consultant services agreement are in an
estimated amount of $798,710.00 for relocation payments to all residential tenants on
the Emery properties and an amount of approximately $102,550.00 for consultant
relocation coordination services, and an amount of approximately $13,740.00 for
consultant property management services. The City will be negotiating extensions of
occupancies with the existing tenants on the commercial office property at their current
rental rates. It is expected that many of these tenant occupants would, as a result
continue to pay rent until approximately 90 days prior to any award of bid on
construction of the Library Project. The continuing tenant rental payments are expected
to cover property management expenses.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In August, 2003, the Agency approved a Replacement Housing Plan (Resolution RDA
03-12) and in September, 2003, the Agency adopted a Replacement Housing Plan
(Resolution RDA 03-15) in accordance with California Redevelopment Law supporting
the acquisition of Emery Properties and the De Nicola Property for the Tustin Library
Project. The City obtained possession of the Emery properties on December 17, 2003
and the De Nicola Properties on December 18, 2003. As you are aware, a Third Cycle
funding application for the Tustin Library Project was submitted to the State on January
16 under the State Library Bond Act.
Under a previous Consultant Services Agreement with Overland Pacific & Cutler for the
preparation of the Relocation Plan, the Consultant initiated preliminary investigations of
suitable relocation properties to serve the residents and tenants at the Properties, and
prepared preliminary individual relocation benefit calculations and an overall project
budget.
At this time, the City will be negotiating extensions of occupancies on the De Nicola
Property and on one of the Emery properties at 230-234 S. Preble. While individual
tenants in these buildings may move, it is the City's desire to continue the occupancy of
tenants on these properties until the City is further along in the construction and funding
process for the Tustin Library Project. Tenants would in any event, however, be
provided with at least 90 days notice prior to any written request the City issues for them
to move. Continuing rental payments are expected to cover property management
expenses. An estimate and appropriation request for actual relocation payment for the
commercial tenants on the De Nicola property will be brought forward to the Agency in

the future. Since the City is not a residential care operator, the 90-Day notices issued
to Tustin Hacienda residential care tenants would allow for the orderly and timely
relocation of the residential care tenants to begin.
FINDING OF BENEFIT
The Properties are located in the Town Center Project Area. In March, 2000, the Tustin
Community Redevelopment Agency adopted a Second Five-Year Implementation Plan
for the Town Center and the South/Central Redevelopment Projects for fiscal years
2000-2001 to 2004-2005. The Implementation Plan was composed of two parts: a five-
year plan for Redevelopment activities; and a five-year plan for housing activities.
Anticipated accomplishments and expenditures for the five-year period included
property acquisitions, design studies and State funding assistance applications to
support and facilitate the redevelopment and expansion of the Tustin library.
The Tustin Library Project is consistent with the Implementation Plan for the Town
Center Redevelopment Project Area. It would remove the existing library facility in the
Project Area, which is nearing the end of its useful life and which is characterized by a
number of deterioration problems, over-utilization and insufficient parking, and
assemble aging disparate ownership apartment buildings and two commercial
properties to provide for the much needed expanded library. The proposed project will
substantially expand the Tustin Branch Library and its services, provide educational and
recreational improvements, and stimulate economic development in the area. The
proposed project would construct a new, single story facility on the present site
expanded by the acquisition of the additional properties.
Approval of the proposed Consulting Services Agreement and appropriation of funds
requested herein will allow the expeditious relocation of the senior residential care
tenants, as well as those tenants who choose not to continue to occupy their units.
Staff will be available at the Agency meeting to answer any questions the Agency may
have.

the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, Agency may take over the work and
prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the
extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the
compensation herein stipulated, provided that the Agency shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate
