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.
