Funds - Downtown Street Furniture - Staff and representatives of the

the condition of certain street furniture located in downtown Redlands. As a

receptacles has been identified. Mr. Harrison asked staff to consider including
recyclable can receptacles. Mrs. Gilbreath expressed concern about the
proposed order not including installation and suggested ash trays such as are
available in New York City be purchased. Mrs. Gilbreath moved to approve a
supplemental appropriation in the amount of $53,916.00 from the Fiscal Year
2007-2008 Unallocated Reserves to the Capital Projects account for the
purpose of acquiring street furniture for downtown Redlands, and to authorize
a purchase order with Dave Bang Associates, Inc. for the purpose of

unanimously.

RECESS - CLOSED SESSION
On behalf of The Redlands Association, Bill Cunningham expressed concerns
about the public parking that could conceivably be lost in the negotiations with
General Growth Partners in regards to the Redlands Mall. He said he did not
believe the public parking was Redevelopment Agency property but was City
property until May 2009, and felt it was premature to consider disposition of this
property at this time. He suggested that a sale not be finalized until a
guaranteed project was proposed with public parking and an appraisal was
made.

4:41 P.M. to a closed session to discuss the following:
