Parent Member of the Council A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Wayne Brownell, Executive Director of Redevelopment, said that the purpose of this resolution is to secure the Council's approval of the Redevelopment Commission's proposed change of the LaSalle Park Project, Ind. R -57, Urban Renewal Plan. He said the substance of the change is the deletion of certain parcels of land from the Plan's acquisition list. He said the Commission feels that it would take an undue amoun- of time, effort and money to acquire these parcels in relation to the benefit to be derived. He said this would further time spent acquiring the properties which would unduly delay the close out of the Project.
