CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE AGENCY None XI. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS, AND APPOINTMENTS A. APPOINTMENT OF PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSIONER TO DESERT WILLOW COMMITTEE. Mr. Ortega noted the report in the packets with a request from the Parks & Recreation Commission that one of its members be appointed to the Desert Willow Committee. Chairman Kelly expressed concern that several other requests had been received from individuals who wished to be appointed to this Committee, which he said was mainly a design process. Member Spiegel noted that Chairman Kelly was on the Desert Willow Committee and was also the Council liaison to the Parks & Recreation Commission, and he felt Chairman Kelly could pass along any necessary information to the Commission from the Desert Willow Committee. He added that he doubted the Parks & Recreation Commission could add anything to the design of Desert Willow. Upon question by Member Crites, Chairman Kelly stated that he basically stays out of any decision making process of the Parks & Recreation Commission and that he did not try to influence their decisions. Member Snyder stated he felt the program was so far along now that it was not necessary to add to the Desert Willow Committee. He suggested this information be passed along to the Parks & Recreation Commission. Member Crites suggested that the Chairman be directed to visit with the Parks & Recreation Commission in terms of where the Desert Willow project is now as far as what stage of completion it is in. Chairman Kelly stated that he would also ask Mr. Drell to place this item on the next agenda for the Parks & Recreation Commission so that he could provide this information. Member Crites moved to, by Minute Motion, take no action at this time and direct the Chairman to pass along information to the Parks & Recreation Commission as discussed at this meeting. Motion was seconded by Spiegel and carried by unanimous vote. 4 MINUTES PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING MAY 8, 1997 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * XII.
