From a Times staff writer
Mayor Tom Bradley on Thursday appointed broadcaster, businessman and former football great Willie Davis to head a task force to look for a new professional football team for the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, if the Raiders deal with Oakland is signed.
Bradley said he believes that Oakland should hold a referendum on its $660-million offer to the Raiders.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission approved at a special meeting Thursday the concept of a 20-year lease of the Coliseum to its private managers, Spectacor and MCA Inc.
