IX. REPORTS AND REMARKS
A. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Mr. Bouman stated that everyone was aware of the landscaping project
recently undertaken on El Paseo between Highway 111 and Portola, a
project totally funded by the merchants in that area. It was very
well done, and the City is very proud of it. However, they now
have about a $1,200 shortfall in that some of the businesses have
change'6 owners and costs that exceeded those expected. They are
asking the Redevelopment Agency to help them out, and we would
certainly be getting our money's worth. However, it is an unbudgeted
item, and Staff will have to prepare a resolution for adoption by the
Agency to appropriate the money. This resolution will be submitted
for approval at the next meeting.
Member Newbrander stated that it would be good to inspire some of the
other merchants and owners on the other end of El Paseo to follow sui:
Member Wilson suggested that it might be a good idea for the Agency
to offer to pay 10% of the costs if the merchants in other blocks
wanted to go in together and landscape.
