PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmen Scott, Hage, Helms, Arth Councilman Butterworth On MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously Councilman Butterworth was excused. Mayor Arth explained the purpose of this meeting --- that it is for the consideration of a proposed resolution entitled: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA APPROVING A REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE IN THE CENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND ADOPTING RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THAT PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE. He also noted various documents and a communication from Councilman Butterworth relative thereto. Councilmsn Helms suggested since there sre a number of documents for Council review, plus the communication from Councilman Butterworth which he had just received, that the resolution with the rules and regulations be adopted as they are except that Section 4 of the proposed resolution be amended to read "Subject to such amendments as may be made from time to time by the City Council, the Rules and Regulations, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit "A", are hersby adopted as the rules and regulations by which the Project Area Committee shall faithfully perform its functions and duties." He felt this procedure would provide time for Council to reflect on the documents and within a period of time an amendatory resolution could be adopted providing for some of the questions which have been raised; that this does not suggest that the entire resolution would be changed but just certain particulars. Councilman Scott expressed his view that this matter should be acted upon this evening and that any changes, if any are necessary, should be made and not delayed simply for the reason there is not a full Council. That,he would not expect Council to refrain from taking normal action in his absence; that in his thinking Council has too often abstained from taking due ,course when appropriate because of the absence o'f some of its members. He continued in part that he had understood changes Mere going to be discussed this evening and perhaps acted upon. In order to place the matter before Council Councilman Helms MOVED that Section 4 of the proposed Resolution be amended to read "Subject to such amendments as shan"be mace from time to time by the Council, the Rules and Regulations, attached to this r'esolution as Exhibit "A", are hereby adopted as the rules and regulations by which the, Project Area Committee shall faithfully perform its functions and duties." Motion seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimOusly. It was suggested that between now and August, 9 (the, date set for the public hearing) the documents and letter could be studied.
