*t County Planning Commission on July 20, 1988. The project and public hearing has

opposition to this project based on the inadequacy of the EIR, it was suggested that

Riverside in order to avoid litigation. On motion of Councilmember DeMirjyn, seconded
by Councilmember Wormser, Councilmember Cunningham was authorized to attend this
