Mayor Puluqi stated "this is the time and place set for the Joint Public Hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Desert and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Desert on the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Palm Desert Redevelopment Project, hereinafter referred to as the 'Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan'. At this hearing all persons who wish to speak for or against the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan will have an opportunity to speak." He declared the City Council Public Hearing open.

Chairman Chilson declared the Indian Wells Redevelopment Agency Public Hearing open. Mayor Chilson asked that it be stipulated that any oral or written communications will affect Indian Wells as well as Palm Desert. Mayor Puluqi asked the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency to introduce the Agency staff members who would make presentations and respond to questions. Mr. Bouman introduced Carlos Ortega, Assistant City Manager, who gave an explanation of the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan. Mayor Puluqi asked the City Clerk to read any written communications received in favor of the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan. Mrs. Gilligan advised there had been no written communications in favor of the Plan. Mayor Puluqi asked for public input in favor of the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan. No one spoke. Mayor Puluqi asked the City Clerk to read any written communications received in opposition to the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan. Mrs. Gilligan advised there had been no written communications in opposition to the Plan. Mayor Puluqi invited public input in opposition to the proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan. No one spoke. Mr. Ortega stated that the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan Report to Council had still to be considered by both the Agency and the Planning Commission for their recommendation. He noted that the Agency must officially send the Report to the City Council for its recommendation, and staff had not completed the legal process necessary to complete the detachment. While the Public Hearing had been opened to allow time for people to speak who had read the notice of hearing, it should be continued until such action is taken by the Planning Commission and Council as is required by law. Mayor Chilson of Indian Wells asked why the Council had to submit the information to the Planning Commission, a body subservient to itself. -2- MINUTES ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY DECEMBER 2, 1982 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * He said they were faced with critical time limitations and asked the Council to expedite it since it would be of no harm to the City of Palm Desert or its Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Ortega noted at this time that at 4:00 p.m. that day, the Indian Wells City Attorney and the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency counsel had agreed on the January 13th continuance. Thus staff had recommended that date. Upon question, Mr. Ortega responded that it would be his recommendation to continue the Public Hearing to at least the meeting of December 16th to allow the Planning Commission time to review the Amendment. Councilman Wilson asked why the information could not be presented and acted on at an adjourned meeting the following day. Mr. Ortega said that was up to the Council to decide. Councilman Wilson moved to continue the item to an adjourned meeting at 12:00 p.m. Friday, December 3, 1982. Councilman Snyder seconded the motion. Mr. Richard Hill, Redevelopment Consultant to Indian Wells, stated he felt a continuation to the meeting of December 16th, which would allow the Palm Desert Planning Commission time to review the Amendment at their meeting of December 7th, would be acceptable to his city. Councilmen Wilson and Snyder withdrew their motion. Mayor Chilson closed the Public Hearing of the City of Indian Wells and the Indian Wells Redevelopment Agency. Councilman Wilson moved to continue the Public Hearing to the Adjourned Meeting of December 16, 1982, at 7:00 p.m. Councilman Snyder seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
