To approve the request from Rancho Mirage at this point would mean reprioritizing our projects, and staff did not recommend doing so until consideration of a fiscal year budget for 1986-87. Member Kelly stated that the funds had been earmarked for other projects once Rancho Mirage had declined this city's offer of participation last spring. To approve their request to finance this bridge for five years would mean putting off other major projects, many of which were well underway at this point. He felt that position should be relayed to Rancho Mirage so that future coopera- tion would be left open for both cities to consider. Member Benson stated her concurrence and request that a written response to this affect be sent to Rancho Mirage. Member Benson moved to respond to the City of Rancho Mirage's request by stating money for the Monterey Avenue bridge was not included in the 1985-86 Redevelopment Agency budget. Member Wilson seconded the motion. Motion carried by unanimous vote of the Members present. B. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH DESERT SANDS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. Mr. Ortega advised that currently the Redevelopment Agency gave its monies required for schools to the County. Under this new agreement, the Agency would place these monies in an interest -bearing trust account to be held until such time as the District requested them for use for new facilities, etc. Member Kelly moved to, by Minute Motion, approve execution of the agreement subject to review by the Agency and City attorney. Member Wilson seconded the motion. Motion carried by unanimous vote of the Members present. VIII. CONTINUED BUSINESS None IX. OLD BUSINESS None X. REPORTS AND REMARKS A. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR I.
