Disposition Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency, the City of

the opportunity to purchase the property. Judith Hunt, of the Historic and
Scenic Preservation Commission, questioned the City waiting 30 more days to
dissolve the Agreement. On motion of Mr. Foster, seconded by Mr. Harrison,
the Board of Directors voted to declare a default of Showprop Redlands LLC's
