ORDINANCE/ RESOLUTION
ESTABLISHMENT OF RELOCATION City Manager McDuf f ie said applicable
APPEALS BOARD law requires that the City establish
a Relocation Appeals Board to which
any persons displaced by acquisition of real property in connection with
City or Redevelopment Agency projects may appeal determinations by City or
Agency staff. Staff recommended introduction of the subject ordinance.
Mayor Hughes said the procedure for member selection should be consistent
with already established practices of the City -- the same type of terms and
duration, appointment by City Council, not Mayor, etc.
Councilwoman Bacharach expressed concern about the following ordinance sec-
tions: Limitation on Appeals (page 4) -- specifically the 6 and 18 month
time limits for filing a claim; and Hearing (page S) -- specifically the 90
day time limit for setting a hearing. She felt they were too long.
With regard to the 6 and 18 month time limits for filing a claim, Acting
City Attorney Barrow said there is a lot of documentation that takes place
and it often takes that long for people to realize the impact of relocation.
He said the 90 -day limit for setting a hearing could be shortened.
Councilwoman Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Hinchliffe, and, with
no objections, so ordered, to waive further reading and introduce by title
only the ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
ESTABLISHING A RELOCATION APPEALS BOARD AND AMENDING THE RANCHO PALOS VERDES
MUNICIPAL CODE" , with the following amendments :
1. That the selection of board members and chairperson be consistent
with the City's current practices;
2. That the terms of board members be consistent with the City's
current practices;
3. That the selection of board members be made by Council, and not
just the Mayor;
