In response to the Board’s interest to engage in the budget process early and thoroughly to set priorities and identify Board strategies, Mr. Johnson noted that he would schedule a budget workshop on the agenda each month until the proposed budget hearings are held in June, 2010.
Supervisor Seifert requested that staff be directed to be more flexible in its negotiations in terms of work schedules in order to provide services to the public.

The direction for the 20% cut in the Requested Budgets should not be perceived as a 20% cut across-the-board but as a means for departments to provide the County Administrator’s Office and the Board with a menu of options from which the Board can apply their priorities and determine the programs or services that may be reduced, eliminated or restored which is consistent with Board direction to provide a range of budgeting options based on Board priorities.

Agenda Item No. 24
Solano County Fairgrounds Phase 2
Financial Analysis on the Solano360 Vision
The Board was requested to consider receiving a financial analysis on the Solano360 Vision for the County Fairgrounds; Approving an amended and restated Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Vallejo and the Vallejo Redevelopment Agency to proceed with the implementation of the Project Vision; Approving a project budget for Phase 2 of the Solano360 efforts; and Authorizing the County Administrator to secure and sign all necessary contractual agreements to advance the project consistent with the budget.
Staff provided an overview of the financial analysis that was prepared to assure that the County’s investment was recovered with a reasonable return on the investment; to assure that a developer would be interested in developing the private portion of the project; to cost out the estimated cost of infrastructure; how to phase the build-out of the vision of the project; and then determine if the project was financially feasible from a private developer’s perspective. Staff noted that the analysis determined that the project was financially feasible providing there was reinvestment of revenue that is generated from the site back into the project for a period of time in order to cover the cost of some of the infrastructure required to rebuild or replace facilities at the fairgrounds and build some of the destination components of the vision. Staff noted that it was their recommendation that the County proceed to the next phase to clear entitlements including the completion of the Specific Plan based on the Vision that was accepted in June 2009, preparing additional cost estimates to develop a revenue sharing agreement with the City of Vallejo, preparing the necessary environmental documents for the project, along with any necessary City of Vallejo General Plan amendments and applicable zoning changes. Staff reported that the project budget for Phase 2 of the Solano360 efforts reflected the cost estimates of the necessary components including the reimbursement for staffing in the City of Vallejo to process and manage the application; funding for project management; funding for the completion of an EIR and Specific Plan; and public outreach for engaging the public and the business community. Staff reported that if the project proceeded as envisioned and EIR and entitlements were cleared which was projected to take two years, this project would generate a number of jobs in the construction trades as well as positions in the systems and operations, retail, restaurants, and other businesses locating at this site when fully built-out.
In response to a question posed by Supervisor Reagan, it was reported that the Project would be built in phases and completed in 15 years. It was reported that the County’s upfront investment would be repaid within 8 years after the beginning of construction and would generate a 12% return on investment.
At the conclusion of discussion, the Board took the following action:
Moved to
1. Receive a financial analysis on the Solano360 Vision for the County Fairgrounds.
2. Approved and authorized the County Administrator to sign an amended and restated Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Vallejo and the Vallejo Redevelopment Agency to proceed with the implementation of Solano360, with the proposed modified language to Section 2.

3. Approved a project budget for Phase 2 of the Solano360 Fairgrounds efforts.
4. Authorized the County Administrator to secure and sign all necessary contractual agreements, under $50,000 to advance the project consistent with the budget and report on those agreements in Significant Issues.
5. Directed the County Administrator to submit agreements over $50,000 to the Board of Supervisors for consideration.
6. Directed the County Administrator to submit a Quarterly Report on Project activities to the Board of Supervisors.
7. Approved the appointment of a representative from the Solano County Fair Board to the Solano360 Oversight Committee.
8. Amended Section 6(c) of the Agreement to read: "The area designated as the "Fair of the Future" Zone ("FoFZ") and Public Entertainment Zone ("PEZ"), excluding those areas in the PEZ to be developed as private mixed-use in the Project Vision unless the County takes the lead in the development in the PEZ on behalf of SCFA for a public purpose use or as may be determined upon during the environmental review, is designated as "public purposes" and those areas outside of the FoFZ and PEZ are designated as "private purposes."

AYES: John Vasquez, Linda Seifert, James Spering, and Mike Reagan.
