Mr. Bouman reported that this set of personnel regulations is
virtually identical to that of the City except the vacation time

personnel rules, the number of those vacation days are specified.
In the Redevelopment Agency's rules, 10 days of extra vacation are

Director, depending on whether or not the Assistant performs that
many hours of extra work.

B. RESOLUTION N0. 72 - A RESOLUTION OF THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
APPROVING MID -YEAR REVISIONS TO THE ADOPTED AGENCY BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR 1977-78.
Mr. Bouman reported that the mid year adjustments were minor. Some
savings in certain areas had been managed, primarily as a result of
capital improvement costs and elimination of one project which was
planting of trees on Alessandro. There have been some increases in
operating expenses. The Santa Ana based Agency attorney is costing
the Agency money that it had not been spending. The net result is
$21,000 in expenses with the revenues being $50,000 more than anti-
cipated, or about $690,000.
