~ Consider contracting with Cordoba Corporation for up to $229,700.00 to oversee construction of a cover over approximately 50 feet of Santa Anita Wash at the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and Huntington Drive. Presto! New land for the Monrovia Redevelopment Agency. http://goo.gl/lVUV6

UPDATE: And a picture of the wash: http://goo.gl/I8YuD

~ Consider adopting a resolution to transfer money from the Monrovia Redevelopment Agency to the City each year so the city can pay the state-required annual payment (probably about $262,000 a year) that will allow the Redevelopment Agency to exist. It's kinda convoluted, but I think that's what it says. http://goo.gl/NoNi6
