CONSENT ITEMS HELD OVER None VII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None VIII. REPORTS AND REMARKS A. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Mr. Bouman stated that the Agency members might be wondering why Staf had not presented a preliminary budget for the Agency. He stated tha. he had pointed out in the City Budget the affects of Jarvis could be pretty extreme. Therefore, it is our intention to wait until after June 6th to see the results of the election. A public hearing is not required to adopt this budtet, and he felt there was plenty of time to prepare the budget - one way or the other. Considerable discussic- followed relative to the negative effects the passage of Jarvis woulc have on the Redevelopment Agency in that it would greatly diminish its budget. May 25, 1978 B.
