Subject: Development Update
Building Permit Activity:
With 8 new permits for July we are now at 24 new homes for 2011. That compares to
an average since 2001 of 102 units year to date, 2007 -09 performance of 49 units YTD and
2010 of 19 units YTD. In a comparison to 2010 performance the 2011 activity puts us on a
pace of 56 units for the year although given our restricted lot count it should be expected that
we will drop below that activity level.
At the time of preparation of this memorandum I have not yet received data on
commercial permits.
Home Depot:
We will provide a verbal update

PSCH:
On June 24, 2011 City Council provided direction to proceed to the bid stage for this
project. As a best value bid process this stage will take a bit longer than the more traditional
low bid process. As a result it is anticipated that bid award will occur on September 21, 2011.
Community Center/ YMCA:
The City Council has held a workshop on this project with consensus to go forward with
discussions with the YMCA. We have a meeting scheduled with the Y for July 11 and will
provide an update from that meeting.
Ribbon Cuttings/ Ground Breakings:
On July 15 at 3PM we will be hosting a ribbon cutting for the El Sol Mercado located on
the private drive south of 80 Street (7155). This Mexican grocer has been in business for
about the past four months.
We have just recently scheduled a ribbon cutting for White Pines Phase II for August 12
during their grand opening. The actual ceremony will be at 10AM.
We have noted the 50 Anniversary for the Tom Moy Restaurant. At least in recent
memory we have not had a mechanism to celebrate significant tenure dates for community
businesses and should have some discussion on how to proceed with recognition of long
standing business partners.
Other:
There is a purchase agreement on the former ICHOR building with a mid August closing
date anticipated. This is for an end user that we initially began working with back in the 2003-
2005 timeframe. Instead of relocating from their existing building they expanded and will
continue to operate out of that building in a nearby community. The ICHOR building will
become their corporate headquarters with a portion of their production activity.
