30  fewer than five or more than nine seven commissioners.  The

15  agency recommendation to amend or modify a redevelopment plan

16  may include a change in the boundaries of the redevelopment

17  area to add land to or exclude land from the redevelopment

18  area, or may include the development and implementation of

19  community policing innovations.

20         (2)  The governing body shall hold a public hearing on
