Chair Lee Perez noted that they did not hold a business meeting during December, although a very nice social gathering was held. He noted that there was no discussion, and that the next meeting would be held on January 19, 2005. He noted that they would decide how to carry out the ARRA's wishes at that time. Member DeHaan noted that while he was not part of the decision made at the last ARRA meeting, he supported that decision. He was concerned that the process took much longer than anyone could have anticipated, and that when he was Chair of EDC, he ensured that they were up to speed on Alameda Point issues. He recalled several team members (Al Clooney and Dan Meyers) who had passed away during this process. Mayor Johnson noted that she and Member Daysog had been members of the BRAG as well.

A special meeting would be held on Thursday, January 20, 2005, at 7:30 p.m. Member DeHaan requested an update on the Consultant Agreement to be placed on the next agenda. Chair Perez did not anticipate that there would be any further amendments to current consultant contracts. He added that they could make an updated budget presentation at the next regular meeting.
