prepare an updated scorecard and status of the various measures
because some items may have been rendered moot by the budget or
legislative action.
5. Arguments for and Against Amendment to Charter Allowing Non -
Resident Property Owners in Project Areas to Serve on the

Attorney Googins prepared a brief memo to the Commission outlining
the existing ambiguous status of the Project Area Committees and
based on the fact that they continue to serve as advisory bodies
solely to the Redevelopment Agency, a state creation governed by
state laws, he recommends no action be taken at this time. While
further analysis may be required, it is not necessary to have a
Charter amendment at this time.

Development Commission and decided to eliminate it from further
consideration.
