In October, the Agency adopted a Resolution to create a new RAC with 10 members. Outreach information, including a draft of a letter to all business and property owners within the Redevelopment Project Areas, and residents living within 500 feet of the Project Areas was distributed for comment. Additional outreach efforts will include press releases to the Daily Review and the San Leandro Times, a notice on the City's website, notices to homeowners associations and business associations in or near a redevelopment project area, and outreach to individuals suggested by City Council. Applications will also be sent to the former members of the WSL and Joint RACs. The process of selecting RAC members was reviewed along with the timeline for the selection process.
