Meeting will focus on Westside committee

The Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency, more commonly known as the

City Council, will meet tonight to discuss its problematic 75-member

subcommittee, its facilitation and membership.

The Community Redevelopment Action Committee, which some of its

disheartened members have lovingly nicknamed the CRAC committee, has

been a source of contention since its inception. The all-inclusive

committee, designed to forge a working plan for the future of the

Westside, hit a considerable road block when a handful of members

asked the City Council to regulate the committee’s facilitators,

Civic Solutions Inc.

The Redevelopment Agency will hear a progress report from Civic

Solutions tonight at 6:30 p.m. in City Hall and will discuss a lack

of attendance by committee members.
