Page Two
The City Attorney expressed a legal concern that there has not been a
Council decision to expand the existing CRA or development a new one
and that public hearings and an ordinance would need to take place on
that decision.
The City Manager asked the agency to endorse the process pending the
public hearings. The City Attorney stated that would be appropriate after
the stakeholder process and before the drafting of the plan.

that the scope of services could be amended to development two different
districts if deemed necessary. The City Attorney recommend acceptance
of the loan for the motion.
