. . . MINUTES - COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY March 12,1973 REFERENDUM PROPOSAL . Commissioner Evans explained that he had seconded the motion of Commissioner Herrin to submit the Redevelopment Ordinances to the electorate because he would not deny the people the right to vote on the issue if such a motion were proposed. that he thinks the Redevelopment Program is somewhat. premature. and that his support of it will depend on the selection of the Project Area boundary lines. that he is not against the Agency but is very concerned about its affect on private home ownership. Commissioner Patterson concurred and stated that the Agency is primarily interested in development and redevelopment of the downtown area. Commissioner Herrin stated that because of the.imminent election and the affect it might have on the Program, he also felt it was premature, and that he would have preferred to delay the organizational meeting until after the election. Commissioner Griset stated that the Redevelopment Commission. should have an opportunity to present its recommendations for the Project Area. and that it was premature to try and communicate some vague idea of what the Agency does or does not think about establishing the Project Area.
