EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS The Board inquired where the
money for the Register of
Demands would be coming from; the effects of the funding
I/
limitations on certain city contracts; and whether the Agency
was requesting additional advanced funds from the County.
Alluding to his conflict of interest position, Boardmember
Ryan inquired when these funds would be coming out of the
City' s General Fund and his ability to vote on that transfer
of funds.
It was the consensus that the City Attorney should
investigate this conflict of interest situation and report
back to the Board at the October 2, 1990 meeting.
The Executive Director reported that the County had set a
date of November 29, 1990 to hold a hearing on the formation
of the assessment district. He also reported that the
Coastal Commission had denied the appeal on the archery range
and upheld the City Council ' s action and also upheld the
installation of the gabions.
Responding to the Board' s inquiry about the on going activity
of the Redevelopment Agency, the Executive Director stated
that a report would be prepared for the October 2nd meeting
indicating which items could be discontinued.
AUDIENCE QUESTIONS _
Responding to the call for audience questions for items not
on the agenda were the following residents: Lois Larue, 3136
Barkentine, who told the Board that the Coastal Commission
had given a permit for two years for the gabions and that the

whether any action was being taken to preserve natural
habitat in the Portuguese Bend area of the landslide that was

activity occurring on the Hon property.
