BACKGROUND In 1992, the City was designated the Local Reuse Authority (LRA) for former MCAS Tustin by the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) within the Department of Defense (DOD) and was re -confirmed as the LRA in 1994. (See attached letter dated December 15, DocuSign Envelope ID: 2208DOB8-AD7E-40ED-9734-ABA55E78A9A7 Agenda Report — LRA Resolution October 6, 2020 Page 2 1994.) LRAs perform a critical role and are responsible for specific tasks in the closure and reuse of former military installations by- - Developing the Reuse Plan for the former base - Allowing maximum community input during the reuse planning process - Developing a homeless accommodation plan - Approving or denying all applications for Public Benefit Conveyances (PBC) - Implementing the Economic Development Conveyance (EDC) in this case specific to Tustin - Serving as the single point of contact between the Federal Government and community interests during and after the closure process. Some of the ongoing duties and powers of the LRA include- - Working with PBC applicants on implementation issues - Amending the Reuse Plan as needed due to changing market/land use interests or lack of performance - Holding public meetings to receive updates or take other actions related to former MCAS Tustin DISCUSSION Resolution 20-65 would state that, after many years of guiding the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Effort, the City of Tustin, acting as the Federally -recognized LRA for the former MCAS Tustin, desires to review the progress in redeveloping the former installation, and to review and validate the twenty-year old MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan under current circumstances and economic conditions.
