the staff report dated July 20, 1988, which represented a request to authorize
an expansion of the existing contract with the GRC Redevelopment Consultants.
He further advised that the City needs to proceed to determine the status of
properties adjacent to the Civic Center. He stated that the consultant has
indicated an estimate of fees in the amount of $40,000.
Agency Member Kanel suggested a lower figure and when the progression reaches
a certain amount, then return to Council if additional monies are required.
Responding to Agency Member Davis, the City Manager advised that the use of
the money was not limited to contacting property owners, it was also used for
determining other available land for relocation, trades, and possible tenant

a report on the results to date as well as an estimate of expenditures over
the $20,000. Agency Chairman Arnold appealed to fellow Members to delay a
decision on this issue for at least a month and if there is no desire to
delay, she will not support this issue. Agency Member Kane] stated he felt it
