Bahors Director'' Subject: Revision to the Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency By -Laws SUMMARY OF REQUEST: At the last Agency Board meeting, Chairman Antos requested that the Redevelopment Agency meetings be televised. If the Board desires to pursue that option staff is requesting the Agency Board adopt the attached resolution. BACKGROUND: The Agency staff was directed to explore methods to televise the Redevelopment Agency meetings. Staff believes the most straightforward method would be to hold the Redevelopment Agency meeting immediately following the City Council meeting. This would avoid conflicts with cable television scheduling and would only require a change to the Agency By -Laws. Staff has provided a copy of the By -Laws as amended in 2003 (Attachment A) for the Board's review. In addition, staff has provided the Board with the proposed change that will modify the By -Laws to allow for the televising of the Agency meeting. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the Agency resulting from changing the By -Laws. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed changes to the By -Laws.
