" The meeting was called to,order and roll called. A quorum was present. �

was elected earlier in the year by the PAC members. Mr. Karefa Johnson asked
her to obtain a letter of support from a community organization and submit it
to the secretary in order to run for any vacant community position which may
occur, since her position terminated with the end of the "PAC-year" in April.
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved, however, Mr. Morarc objected that
he had been elected as an Atlantic Corridor Resident but had not been included
on the certified list. The election results were returned to the City Clerk
for recertification.
Mr. Karefa Johnson made a presentation regarding the redevelopment areas withiri
the city, current projects in these areas, and projects proposed. There were
numerous questions and suggestions from the PAC members, duly noted by the
Redevelopment Agency staff.

The meeting was called to order and roll called. A quorum was present.
Mr. Karefa-Johnson said the agenda had been posted in compliance with the Brown
Act.
The election results for PAC membership were presented as certified by the City
Clerk. It was stated that there was a question as to the qualifications of Mr.
Tucker, since his residence is not located within the Redevelopment Area
boundaries, but abuts the boundary. Mr. Clark, counsel, stated Mr. Tucker was
currently certified and could vote, however, there would be further legal
opinion as to his eligibility offered at a later meeting.
The minutes of February 16, 1989 were accepted. The minutes of March 16, 1989
were approved. The minutes of April 20 were sent back for revision.
Lynn Dudenhoffer presented a letter from the Lynwood Lion's Club designating
her as their representative for the PAC, should an opening for which she is
eligible become available for election. Lynn is now qualified to run for any
open community representative position.

Mr. Clark discussed the puepose of the Brown Act, stating we should treat all
meetings as though subject to the act, and only keep in private matters whicfi
might do wrong or compromise (1) a real property negotiation, (2) the position
. of the pub}ic body; or (3) reputation. The Brown Act requires 72 hour agenda
posting for regular meetings, 24 hour press notice and agenda posting for
special meetings, a place for public input on all agendas, and penalty for
violation (misdemeanor). �
No amendments to the by-laws passed with two-thirds vote last meeting were
valid, because the item was not on the agenda. The meeting therefore
considered proposed amendments to the bylaws, based on those brought forth in
• the previous meeting. These were to be prepared in final form by staff and Mr:
Clark for distribution two weeks prior to the next meeting, for vote at the
next meeting. The proposed changes were reviewed in toto by Mr. Clark before
� putting each individually to the vote. _The following motions were voted on:
, 1. Determine the legality of Mr. Tucker's ability to remain as a
residential representative. If he is able to remain, expand the
community membership to five. If he is not able to remain in that
, position, expand the community membership to six.
Passed 9 to 0.
2. Leave the number of owner/occupant members from the Atlantic corridor
at one.
Passed 9 to 0.
3. PAC terms will extend until May, 1991 for re-election, if the City
Council extends the PAC for one more year past August, 1991. Otherwise
the PAC membership terminates with the termination of the PAC in
August, 1991.
Passed 9 to 0.
4. Three total absences in one year, excused or unexcused, automatically
• terminates membership.
Passed 6 to 3. ;
5. A quorum will consist of a majority of the filled positions on the PAC:
' Passed 9 to 0.
6. Amendments to the by-laws may be made upon the affirmative vote of two-
thirds of the members present, assuming that the quorum requirement has
been met.
' Passed 8 to 1.
Filling of vacant positions was tabled until additional positions could be
established. There were no public or committee member orals. The meeting was
adjourned. Next meeting is June 15, 1989. ,
