On May 20, 1976 the ordinance activating the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency (CRA) became effective. However, it is necessarv t.o complete a number of procedural steps to enable the CRA to become a functioning entity.
It is suggested that space be allocated during the July 6, 1976 City Council meeting for a meeting of the CRA. number of items relating to the CRA would also be included
on the City Council agenda for Council action following
the CRA meeting.

Administrative and overhead budget Exhibit 3
Although most actions to be taken by tha City Council and
Agency at this point are necessary procedural steps under the Community Redevelopment Law, there aro two significant policy issues that the City Council should address at this point.
The first issue concerns the matter of compensation for Agency members. Health and Safety Code Section 33114 provides for the compensation of Agency members and Section 33114.5 limits such compensation to an amount not to exceed $30.00 per meeting and further provides that no member shall receive compensation for attending
more than four meetings of the Agency during any oalendar
month.
A second policy issue concerns the Agency Administratj.ve and Overhead Budget. This budget, in addition to providing for Agency member compensation, if any, would provide funds for general overhead expenses, consultant fee5, and other administrative expenses necessary to initiate redevelopment activities. If the City Council is ready to proceed vith the studies necessary to initiate the redevelopment process, this budget would be the proper place to provide such funds and staff should be directed to prepare an appropriate budget.. If at this point the City Council is not ready to proceed with active study, the proposed Administrative and Overhead Budget attached as Exhibit 3 should be adopted in the interim.
It is anticipated that as personnel are hired or funds are needed for planning purposes, funds may be transferred from the Planning Department professional services account.
A third issue concerns Agency meeting times. Agency By-Laws in Section 501 provide for annual organization meeting and Section 502 provides for regular meetings. Agency members
should select the time they desire to meet. -+ FRANK N. MA"EN
