Minutes of the regular meeting of the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Redlands of September 6 , 1983 ,
were approved as submitted.
Executive Director Holmes reported that the Redevelop-
ment Project is moving ahead in a number of important
_
mportant
811, areas. Negotiations with the Corps of Engineers
are progressing on the Zanja Drainage Project. A
Progress MOU has been drafted and will be submitted to the
Report Agency in October.
The Specific Plan is being prepared by The Arroyo
Group; the public improvements portion of that plan
is substantially complete and will be reviewed by
the new Redevelopment Director on October 7, 1983.
The preparation of an updated Environmental Impact
Report is important since the State law on environ-
mental review has been changed since 1975 and
additional items must be included. Mr. Holmes
recommended that the Target Area be used instead of
the smaller Specific Plan Area as there is a small
cost difference, and it would provide more flexibility
in the future for projects outside the Specific Plan
Area.
Member DeMirjyn moved to authorize the preparation
of an updated Environmental Impact Report for the
entire Target Area of the Redlands Redevelopment Area
at a cost not to exceed $12, 000 per Sections 2 (B)
and Task 9. 1 of the contract with The Arroyo Group.
Motion seconded by Member Martinez.

Although he doubted that anyone else could underprice
The Arroyo Group, Member Johnson stated it was un-
acceptable the way they were charging for items that
could be done by our staff. Chairman Roth said he
thought most of the information was already available
and that this could be done for half the price.
Members DeMirjyn and Martinez pointed out their con-
cern was the time constraints of preparing the
report; that staff would not be able to accomplish
this so quickly. Member Gorman asked Mr. Holmes to
communicate their concerns to The Arroyo Group and
ask for reconsideration of the costs. The motion
authorizing the preparation of the Environmental
Impact Report was approved unanimously.
There being no further business, the Redevelopment
Agency meeting adjourned, on motion, at 3 : 35 P.M.
Next regular meeting, October 4 , 1983 .
