By Erica Madison Just three days before the New Year, the California Supreme Court handed down a ruling that dissolved Alameda City’s Community Improvement Commission as well as 400 other redevelopment agencies in California. In a ruling released today, the California Supreme Court has ruled that the State of California can legally abolish local redevelopment agencies. Earlier this year, the State introduced legislation to do just that, to preserve funding for the K-12 schools, and the California Redevelopment Association sued. This Saturday, starting at 9 a.m., a joint meeting of the Alameda City Council and Alameda Unified School District will consider a proposal from Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant that would transfer school district redevelopment funds set aside for low-income housing for District employees to a “green dollars” fund for operational and classroom use by the School District. By Erica Madison “I’m not one for stealing”, said Council member Matarrese at a Dec. 1, 2009, City Council meeting. |
