This looks promising. Member Brush stated that he felt that it was a good time for the Counci- to step aside and appoint members to the Redevelopment Agency. However. the other members of the Agency, although agreeing it would be a good idea for the future, felt that with the current projects, this would nc- be a good time for the Council to do this.
