In anticipation of two crucial legislative meetings scheduled today in Sacramento, the besieged Culver City Redevelopment Agency took a major step at last night’s unusual and succinct meeting to safeguard funding for its vision of improvement for the community in case the Agency is forced to disband.
The rare Thursday meeting was called to squeeze through the doorway before two separate legislative committees, one from the Senate, one from the Assembly, were to act on Gov. Brown’s dive-bomb January proposal to eliminate all of California’s redevelopment agencies.
Final action in Sacramento remains days or weeks into the future. Culver City acted pre-emptively to stay ahead of any legal curve.
At the gavel of Chair Mehaul O’Leary, only minutes were required to take a technical action that normally would not even be reported except to narrow interests.
The Agency okayed the sale of about $61million in bonds intended to fund numerous future projects.
