PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE (PAC) - GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING MEMBERS: Mr. Fernald suggested that inasmuch as the Agency Members had just received the information on the Community Redevelopment Commission's recommendation for approval of the proposed PAC guidelines and budget, the Agency might wish to withhold any action until the Members have been able to study the proposal. He advised that although at the time the boundaries were established for Project Alpha the law did not require the formation of such a committee, it is now a requirement; and if the boundaries of Project Beta are established, the for- mation of a similar Project Area Committee will be required within sixty days thereafter. The procedures proposed for Project Alpha would be coordinated by the Redevelopment Staff. Mr. Fernald thereupon gave a brief summary of the guide- lines for selecting members for the committee, advising that of a fifteen member committee proposed, ten members would be self - elected by those eligible for membership, and the remaining five would be appointed by the City Council. A public meeting would be held, at which time citizen involvement would be solicited, and questionnaires filled out by those interested. A bilingual newsletter would be sent to all residents, busi- nessmen and organizations within the project area, containing the names and backgrounds of those interested in serving on the committee, and the news media would also be notified. A second public meeting would be held to select the committee members, at which time voting for the ten self- elected members would take place. Subsequent to that time, the City Council would appoint the additional five members.
