explore ways and means of inciting interest of�. the property owners outside of
,.'�'.L� the City limits to the point of,annexation. Therefore they recommended that
U an active committee be e.stablished in order to expedite such an essential program
I �'M1�� to result in an orderl.y:growth and development of Redding; the committee should
become. well informed of the many advantages of annexing to the City and do what-
ever possible to apprise residents of these advantages. .

from departmental standpoint to follow in annexation procedur.es,- and in-about two
weeks would have something concrete to offer Council in ways of suggestions.
Mayor Puryear approved this recommendation and suggested the commit�ee, 'two `
members from the.City Council arid possibly the chairman of the Planning Com-
� .
