Mr. Steinman directed the Commission's attention to a memorandum 24 dated July 17, 2000 (page 9-10 of the agenda packet). Mr. Steinman reviewed the memorandum, 25 which stated that at the City Council meeting on June 27, 2000, the Council approved, upon the 26 holding of a public hearing, the City's Business Subsidy Policy. 27 Such policy describes the circumstances under which the Mayor and Council would approve 28 business subsidies. The action was taken, in part, in anticipation of an incentive being provided 29 as part of the Apache Plaza redevelopment project. Additionally, the Business Subsidy 30 Agreement would be part of the overall Redevelopment Agreement with Hillcrest. Furthermore, 31 the Business Subsidy Agreement closely mirrors the Business Subsidy Policy. Major points 32 were outlined by Mr. Steinman and the issue was discussed in detail. •
