INTRODUCTION A. REASONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A SUPPLEMENT TO THE REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL As required by Section 33352 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (CRL), the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana ( "Agency ") prepared a Report to the City Council of the City of Santa Ana ('Report") for the proposed adoption of the merger amendments ( "Amendments" or "Merger ") to the existing Redevelopment Plans (`Redevelopment Plans" or "Plans ") for the Central City, Inter -City Commuter Station, North Harbor, South Harbor, South Main, and Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Projects ('Project Areas" or "Merged Project Area "). On June 15, 2004, the Redevelopment Commission recommended the Agency adopt the Report to the City Council noting their questions and concerns. The Agency Board adopted the Report to the City Council on July 19, 2004 and authorized transmittal of the Report to the City Council of the City of Santa Ana ( "City Council'), and recommends the City Council consent to a joint public hearing of the Agency and Council and set the hearing date. The City Council received the Report on July 19, 2004, and consented to set the hearing date for September 7, 2004. The City Council will consider the information within the Report as part of the adoption of the proposed Amendments. The City Council is scheduled to approve and adopt the proposed Amendments by ordinance on September 20, 2004, or at the following meeting on October 5, 2004. Since the completion and distribution of the Report to the City Council, certain actions or events occurred that supplement the information contained within the Report.
