TO PREPARE SAID ENHANCEMENT PLAN (Community Development Director) Informal bids for preparation of an enhancement plan for the 3.4 acre Vener Pond site were requested. This bid process was used for two reasons: 1 ) the anticipated cost for preparation of the enhancement plan would not exceed $10,000; and, 2 ) the project was considered time sensitive as enhancement of the Vener Pond site is planned as mitigation for improvements to the south levee road, and the enhancement plan may be required prior to issuance of the Section 404 permit for the road improvements. An appropriation of $9,920 from the Bayfront/Town Centre Redevelopment Fund would be required for this project. Of the three bids received, Community Development Director Desrochers recommended Wetlands Research Associates, Inc. be selected as the consultant to prepare this plan.

RESOLUTION 716 AMENDING THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY'S BY-LAWS TO ALLOW COMPENSATION FOR MEETINGS HELD ON THE SAME DAY AS CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND TO STATE THE DAYS AND PLACES MEETINGS ARE TO BE HELD. Staff was directed at the August 7, 19.86 Redevelopment Agency meeting to identify the appropriate method by which Agency members could be compensated for attending meetings that are held on the ~ same day as City Council meetings. The current bylaws under which the Redevelopment Agency was created does not allow for the compensation of its members for meetings held on the same day as City Council meetings. The proposal will amend the bylaws to allow for compensation of all meetings attended by Agency members not to exceed four meetings a month as specified by state law. Pursuant to the Health and Safety Code S33114.5, the legislative body of a City may be compensated a total of $30.00 each meeting for a maximum of four meetings per month. In addition, Section 3.01 and Section 3.03 of the Redevelopment Agency bylaws should also be amended to state the days and places in which the Agency meetings are to be held. This would allow regular meetings to be held without having to be properly noticed each time. Member McCandliss suggested state law should be changed to allow the Redevelopment Agency additional compensation for meetings; the Agency should not be expected to be compensated for meetings that trail City Council meetings; a fair, appropriate, most legal way to approach this issue should be determined. Discussion followed concerning justification for additional compensation for Agency Members, with Members noting the Agency has been in existence for over 14 years with the same compensation. ~ BY MEMBER MALCOLM, the reading of the text RESOLUTION OFFERED was waived by unanimous consent, passed and approved. Redevelopment Agency - 4 - August 19, 1986 Further Agency discussion ensued regarding the amount of time it takes to review Agency material as well as City Council documents; concern that this procedure circumvents what should be done; agree that the Agency and City Council is underpaid for their services; other cities in the same situation have changed their by-laws in order to provide addi tional compensation; resolution will become effective 30 days from adoption. The motion to adopt the resolution passed with Member McCandliss opposed. MSUC (McCandliss/Moore) for staff to prepare a resolution and letter to be sent to Assemblyman Peace and Senator Deddeh making them aware of an inequity in the law.
