BUSINESS SESSION
1. CONSIDERATION OF REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY REORGANIZATION.
There were no changes to the staff report as submitted and on file in
the City Clerk's Office.
Board Member Perkins noted all three positions have been filled by the
same people for three years. He suggested Board Member Osborne be
nominated for Chair, Board Member Sniff as Vice Chair, and Board
Member Henderson as Mayor Pro Tem.
Chairperson Henderson stated she would be uncomfortable taking the
Mayor Pro T em position at this time because it can involve some
ceremonial public appearance responsibilities if the mayor is not
available, and her recent appointment as Second Vice Chair on the
Riverside County Transportation Commission will require a number of
meetings and some travel. She noted the Mayor Pro T em and Chair
appointments for the last three years were made by the Council and/or
Agency and not at the request of those appointed to those positions.
She feels Board Member Sniff has done a great job as Mayor Pro Tern,
and she doesn't have a problem with Board Member Osborne being
,appointed as Chair of the Redevelopment Agency.
Board Member Osborne stated he would accept the position as Chair
of the Redevelopment Agency, and support Board Member Sniff as
Mayor Pro Tern.
MOTION - It was moved by Board Members Sniff/Adolph to select
Board Member Osborne to serve as Chair and Board Member
Henderson to serve as Vice Chair for calendar year 2005. Motion
carried unanimously.
The Redevelopment Agency recessed to Closed Session as delineated on
Page 1 to and until 7:00 p.m.
7:00 P.M.
